EXPLOSION OF A MOUNTAIN.
blown to Pieces by Steam Generated With
in-Rundreds of Japanese Killed.

BLOWN to Pieces by Steam Generated With
in-Rundreds Of Japanese Killed.
Previous to July Is, 1883, Mount
Bandal, time-cleft peak four thou
sand eight hundred feet in height, was
the most conspicuous object in the
mountain range lying from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty miles
north of Toxic, the chief city of Japan.
On the day mentioned it was literally
trent in twain" and blown off the
face of the earth" by the expansive
power of steam which had generated
within it. From the earliest times of
which there is any record streams of
cold water had been plunging under
the peak on one side and escaping in
the shape of steam and boiling hot
water on the other. That the escape
valve" was not sufficient to let off all
the steam generated in the passage of
the water through the red-hot interior
of the peak is evident because of the
fact that when the pressure became
too great the sides of the mount
ain yielded, just as a boiler would
have done under like circum-
stances, and an immense explosion
was the result. The explosion is
said to have been heard distance of
over a thousand miles and to have
caused absolute darkness in the vicin-
ity of the exploded peak upward Of
three hours, during which time perfect
torrents Of hot water and mud were
poured down from the immense heights
to which they had been hurled by the
force of the ''pent-up furies" which
caused the disaster. The debris which
fell after the explosion covered an area
of about fortyfour thousand acres, to
a depth varying from ten to one hun,
dred feet on an average, and in one
place. where beautiful valley had ex-
listed but few kours before, rocks and
mud were piled up to the height of
nine hundred feet. Three villages
were ingulfed in the ruins and at least
five hundred inhabits nts killed by fall
ing debris or drowned and cooked in
the torrents of boiling mud which
flowed down a valley to a distance of
nine miles. These facts were CLEANED
from report made by a visiting COM
mittee appointed b.g the University Of
Tokio.-St. Louis Republic.

finds. however. that he must move With
great prudence for fear Of exciting OPP
position that may defeat his purpose.
He has secured the consent of the
king to the reintroduction of the palm
tree, and about four thousand of these
trees have thus far been replanted
throughout the country. He is also
introducing the culture of tobacco and
thinks he is making Roadway in his
efforts to induce the king and his sub
jects to diminish the area devoted to
hemp planting and to replace it with
the tobacco plant. He has sent to Eu-
rope for a large quantity of tobacco
seed, and he hopes that gradually he
may destroy the practice which is now
running the people.-Chicago Times

WORSE THAN DRINK.

ing for the Liquor Habit

ing for the Liquor Habit
About seven years ago King Kalan-
ba, ruler of the very intelligent Baluba
tribe in the southern part of the Congo
basin, decided that Intoxicating liquors
were a great curse, and that he would
at once free his people from the bond
age of intemperance. He therefore
made it grave crime to drink palm
wine and other Intoxicating beverages,
and. in order to put temptation beyond
the reach of his people, he issued an
sdict that all the palm trees in his
country should be cut down. This de-
structive measure was Immediately
carried out.
If the king had stopped with this re-
markable effort to propagate the cause
Of temperance all might have Jared
well with his people. but unfortunately
he introduced practice which was far
more baleful than intemperance. He
introduced the culture of hemp. and
made hemp smoking one of the relig-
ions practices of the country. Thence
forth this injurious vice was to figure
among the rites employed in the wor-
ship of the native gods.
The culture of hemp rapidly extend
r., and the habit of hemp smoking
grew upon the people until it had seri-
ou>iy injured them. The results are
said to be far more injurious than the
excessive use of opium.
i'rlnce II. de Croy. who is the commits
sooner OF the Congo Free State in the
t-a>Sal district, writes that he has visited
:aluoa villages whose entire popula-
ton has been almost ruined in morals
and physique by the practice of hemp
smoking. He is now using all MS in
fuence to root out the practice. He

ABOUT FRUIT STAINS.
Some That viii Come Out and Others
That Won't.


As the fruit season wakes it become.
burdensome to keep napery spotless.
Who has not beheld with dismav ones
favorite damask hopelessly discolored
with peach, cherry and berry stains?
Some suggestions may be of assistance
remedying the mishap. In the first
place, do not wash the linen before ap-
plying other remedies To do so sets
the stain almost indelibly, and it then
has to pass through all stages until
time and the laundry leave but pale,
yellow reminder, which contamination
does not follow easily until the fabric
is threadbare. For berry stains. have
some one hold the cloth so that it says
little, and pour absolutely boiling
water through the spot; rub well.
IL this fails, light bit of sui
phur and hold under the wet spot-a
lighted match viii answer; the sui
phurous gas usually does the work, the
stain gradually disappearing. But
there are some that will not out
peach stains, for example. Then You
must have recourse to salts of lemon,
which is good, but apt to leave a hole
in lieu of the stain. By extreme care
fitness in its use, however. il will not
DO such dire damage. Take a sunny
day for the task; first moisten the spot
and then rub on a very little Of the
salts of lemon; lay the linen in the
sun for two or three minutes, and
then wash thoroughly with soap and
warm water. Success nearly always
follows. Other stains, like iron rust,
are more easily removed After wash
ing the article squeeze lemon juice on
the spots and then cover thickly with
salt Lay in the sun all day. wash
and II the rust IS not removed repeat
