TERRIBLE WORK OF VOLCANOES.
What an Active One Can Do When Fully
Aroused.

Few people in this country imagine
what terrible work volcano OF the
regulation size can do when 1t once
GETS fully aroused. In 1888 Cotapaxl
threw its fiery rockets more than 3,o0o
feet above the crater and in 1867, when
the blazing mass confined IN the same
mountain was struggling for an outlet,
it roared so loud that the awful noise
was heard distance of 600 miles. In
1897 the crater of Tunguragua, one OF
the great peaks of the Andes, flung
out torrents of mud and lava which
damned up great river, opened new
lakes, besides making a deposit OF
seething mud, ashes, and lava 600 feet
deep over the whole area OF valley
which was twenty miles long and
averaged 1000 feet in width. The
stream of lava which flowed from
Vesuvius in 1887 and passed through
the Valley of Terre del Grece is esti-
mated to have contained 1000, 900
cubic feet of solid matter. In 1850
Etna poured out flood of melted
stones and ashes which covered eighty
four square miles of fertile country to
depth of from ten to forty feet. On
this occasion the sand, scoria, lava,
etc., from the burning mountain form
ed Mount Rosini, peak two miles in
circumference and over 1000 feet
high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 79 A. D., the time of the destruc
ton of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded
the dimensions of the volcano itself
while in 1860 Etna disgorged ovel
twenty times it's own mass. Vesuviu
has sent it's ashes into Syria, Egypt
and Turkey. 1t hurled stones of 00l
pounds weight to Pompeii, a distance
of six English miles, during the erup
ton of 79 A. D. Cotapaxi once pro
iected block of stone containing Owe
100 cubic yards distance of nine an'
half miles.

TRIAL Coins.

Coin collectors especially value the
~trial pieces" or experimental coins
that are made by artists connected
with the mint for submission to the
coinage committee of congress when
change of design is contemplated. AS
only ten OF a dozen strokes are made
of each pattern, they are extremely
rare. The secretary of a late mem Der
of the presidents cabinet says that the
congressman who get these trial pieces
are usually ignorant of their value, for
he has seen them paid out for shoe
backing and cold tea.

HER SECRET OUT AT LAST.
But She Would Have Preferred to DIE
Rather Than Reveal 1t.


One of the most estimable women
of Louisville, and one whose friends
would never suspect her as the one re-
ferred to below, is subject to smother
inc spells, and confidently expects
some day to die during one OF them.
Several DAYS ago, while sitting at her
front window engaged at some light
needlework, she felt one of the spells
coming over her. She called to her
friend to summon DR.. D. and then
fan her. The friend was sent for the
family physician, and in no time he
was at the house. Meanwhile the SUI
ferer was sure she was dying.
ooh. Mrs. -" she sobbed hyster-
ically, 81 know am going this time.
Pm dying now. I'm dying. Good
by, Mrs. -"
The doctor at once began the appli-
cation of the usual restoratives, but
thew seemed of no avail The sufferer
appeared to be gradually losing her
breath. and the doctor believed she
was expiring. He tore away the ruch-
| inc about her neck and called to her
friend:
@Mrs. -, take off her shoes. pleasei
we must enliven her circulation some
| how.
The doctor got her neck free enough,
but when the friend lifted one foot to
remove the shoe the sufferer kicked
| her friends hands with the other foot
| The doctor did not notice this, but.
thinking the friend could perhaps not
undo the buttons, he reached down
and picked up one of the patients
feet. The sufferer, evidently in her
last gasps, kicked him also, but the
doctor was determined.
Mrs. -" he said, "your shoes
are too tight. They must come off. I"
Don't, DOCTOR" gurgled the patient,
"don't. doctor, I'm dying"
"I know it, Mrs. -" he said, but
those shoes must come off,"
"Oh, no, DOCTOR" was the feeble
,, pleading.
aBut I say yes" answered the now
frightened doctor, "and I'll take them
off, too"
aoh, doctor, please don't. please
} "I'm sorry Mrs. -, but
! Raising herself with a powerful ef
fort the patient, pale as death itself
8 gasped:
! "Please don't take off my shoes, doc
tor-my stockings are full of holes"
o The effort seemed to bring back tn
' life to the sufferer and in half an hou
+ she was as well as ever, with neV
e pair of stockings on, fully ready TO
s the next spell"
