Thirty miles from the city Of Ku-
mamoto, Japan, is the volcano Aso
San, which has the largest crater IN
the world. IL is more than thirty miles
in circumference, and peopled by TWEEN
ty thousand inhabitants Think OF
walking for miles among fertile farms
and prosperous villages, peering into
schoolhouse windows and sacred
shrines well within the shell of an old.
time crater. whose walls rise eight
hundred feet all about you. 1t gives
one queer feeling Hot springs
abound everywhere. In one place
briclk-red hot water is utilized to turn
a ricemill The inner crater is nearly
half mile in diameter, and a steady
column of roaring steam pours out OF
IL. The last serious eruption was In
1884, when immense quantities of black
ashes and dust were elected and car
ried by the wind as fer as Kumamoto,
where for three days it was so dark
that artificial light had to be used.

FOND OF HERSELF.


Mrs. Lofty Airs Her Dignity to Her Own
Discontinue.
Don't envy the woman or man who
without the formality of an introduce
ton. 1t is not possible to compute the
pleasure and profit some folks lose by
hedging themselves round with this
stupid fence of fastidiousness. This
sort of feeling is usually most promi-
nent in persons whose social positions
are of the shoddy sort Self-respecting
individuals who have been brought
mp in the midst of luxury are always
courteous when addressed without the
proper preliminaries of speaking to
each other"
Only the pretender answers the civil
question of stranger with a cold stare.
A woman, loud of clothes and man
ner, boarded a South Side cable car the
other day. She properly helped herself
to the vacant seat beside another wo-
man who was evidently a stranger in
the city. This apparent visitor was
considerably interested in the street
sights on either side of the track. AT
last her curiosity got the better of her
reserve. She pointed toward pair of
pedestrians, saying to the woman resi-
dent:
What do those gray outfits mean
some order or anotherp
Then did she of the gay, swell sort
rise to her chance at snobbery.
Conductor, conductor" she called
to the vehicle official, ''this person de
sires some information.
Then she elevated her chin and gazed
unutterably proud things.
Madame, beg you pardon, quickly
said the plain little querist; II thought
you might have some to spare. l see
was mistaken"
And the passengers, without beilg
introduced, nudged each other anc
| grinned.
The bogus resident somebody
showed red anger under cover of faeia
decoration.-Chi Mail.

The Earth,s Motion.

That the earths motion has an APP
preciable effect upon artillery fire, de
tecting the projectile from a straight
course, may be news to many, and a:
such would probably seem novel no
lion. 1t has, and the exact nature ano
extent of the effect is an important
point of study with artillery experts
An English army expert told Of the re
suits of many interesting experiments
along this line in paper read before
the Royal Artillery institution the
other day. Firing from north to south
there is divergence of projectiles tc
the left due to the earth's rotation, and
