VOLCANOES IN ALASKA.

More Than Two Score Of Them Have
Been Active in the Present Century.
Recently read IN sccount of bona
fide advertisement in q Scandinavian
paper Of stupendous volcanoes for sale
for about four hundred dollars, says a
writer in the Christian Advocate.
They are located in Iceland. Alaska
might glut the market in this aesthetic
article if it were to put all its stock on
sale. The number which have been
active within one hundred years is va
riously estimated by the authorities /
have consulted as all the way from
forty-five to sixty-one. More than
twelve have been active within twen-
ty years and five at least within four
years. Among the mostr narlSable is
Bogorlof, one hundred miles west of
Unalaska. This, about six hundred
feet high, together with the part of the
island from which it rises, has come
up out of the sea within few years.
and constantly sends out steam and
smoke. Makushin, on Unalaska,
though snow-covered, pours out inn
mense volumes of steam and milk
white smoke, visible on . clear day
nearly sixty miles at sea. Akutan acts
like geyser, putting at intervals OF
few seconds. Shishaldin, on Cunimak
island, perfect cone 8,755 feet above
the sea, snow-covered, but washed by
the ocean at it's base, striped down its
sidds with ashes and condensed smoke,
was still smoking.
It has no foot hills, and its precipi-
tous slopes fall into the great Pacific
ocean on the south and Bering sea on
the north. Elliott says: ''It is wholly
safe to say that Shishaldin is tho most
beautiful peak of vast altitude upon
the North American continent.
Pavlof, on the Alaska peninsula, sends
out from the side huge clouds Of pitch
black smoke hot enough to melt two
feet of snowfall in a few minutes. 1t
puffs at intervals like a locomotive.
Ilnamna, on the shore of Cooks inlet,
is 1906 feet high, and constantly
sends out ashes and smoke of brim-
stone. In 1888 Mount st. Augustine,
$50 miles north of Kadiak island, was
active, and, according to the official re-
port of Gov. Knapp, covered the
decks of ships hundreds of miles at
sea with ashes" In 1874 Capt. Lehman
was sent to the islands of the Four
Mountains, west of Umnak, to explore
a cave said to contain mummies (of
which he brought seventeen bodies,
now in different museums). While on
this trip he discovered on Kagamil
island a volcanic mountain OF low
altitude. from which issued jets OF
sulphurous steam, smoke and noxious
gases of such horrible stencil as to
compel him to stand off from shore.
Mount st. Elias sent out smoke and
vapor in 1889, and in 1847, when "the.
earthquake occurred which shook the
whole Sitka region, flame and ashes
came from its summit"

DEFECTS IN GAR TRUCKS.

One Serious Dimculty II Found Whsre the
Tracks Are Curved.
s'The degree of perfection attained
in mechanical production is wonder
full" said q mechanic to writer for
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. SIN almost
every line of mechanical inventions
you see faults and difficulties overcome
which make it seem nearly impossible
to advance further. Viewed in this
light, the imperfections in the con-
struction of our railroad car trucks
are strangely inconsistent, for they are
palpably at variance with our high at
tainment in mechanical construction.
I refer to the custom, which has never
been improved upon since railroading
began, of using wheels securely fast
ened to rigid axles. It would seem
that, on such an all-important matter
as this, some improvements would be
made, but there has been none. The
running gear Of cars, as now con-
structed, is only adapted for use on
straight tracks. But, as there must be
curves on roads, the trucks are simply
forced around them. 1t is said that
it requires one-third more motive pow
er to carry a train around an ordinary
curve than on q straight track. This
is due to the strain to which the wheels
are subjected. In making curve the
outside track is longer than the inside
one. Now, with wheel on each track
and fastened immovably to the axle,
both wheels must make the same num-
Der of revolutions. In rounding
curve how is the inside wheel, which
has a much shorter distance to travel,
to make an equal number Of revolu-
tions with the outside wheel? 1t is
done in this way: The inside wheel
slips upon the inner or shorter rail,
while the outside one covers the long
er distance. At the same time the in
clination of the track required in MAX
ing curves throws most of the load
upon the wheel that is slipping, cans
ing a great strain upon both wheel
and axle. It has been computed that
this strain is equal to double that of
the rolling pressure on q straight
track. Tomeet this the axle is made
much thicker between the wheels than
at the journals, where all the weight
of the car and load is carried. Though
it has been long coming think the
day will finally dawn when these de-
fects in car trucks will be overcome.

STORY OF MARK TWAIN.

He Was willing to Play Dog But Wanted
the Perquisites.
A traveller now in town on visit
heard new story about Mark Twain
from an old Mississippi river pilot with
whom Mr.. Clemens once worked for
awhile in a pilot house on that river,
says the New York Sun. 1t seems that
he came up in the pilot house carrying
an enormous and expensive black Ha-
vana cigar which excited the envy of
the master pilot. 'sWhere did you get
that cigar, Sam?' the pilot asked. "A
gentleman in the cabin gave it to me,
said the budding humorist. ''Well, do
you think you ought to keep that
cigar and ought to 60 without it?'
the pilot asked.
SHOW, look here" said Mark Twain,
81 know am only your helper and I'm
willing to play dog to You. You can
throw sticks in the water and let me
jump in after 'em. I'll do whatever
you say, but"-and here he drawled
in his peculiar way-"1 do think
ought to have some perquisites.'

nivance, and that he had not condoned
the offense.
one or two witnesses testified that
since Mrs. Wolrhade had separated from
her husband she had been living with
another man as his wife.
Among the people in the audience who
listenedlistened very interesteily to the
testimony. was n large woman with
dark hair and eyes, who was stylshly
dressed and looked to be about thirty
years old. When the testimony was
concluded she left the courtroom, ac-
companied by another woman.
Just as she reached the courtroom
being no justice in the courts Her re-
mark reached the sharp ear of Judge
McAdam.
Bring those women back here" he
shouted. and a court officer hurried after
them.
When the woman came back in charge
OF the officer. the one who had made the
remark was called to the witness chair
by Judge McAdam.
what was that you said on leaving
the room?" demanded the Judge.
The woman hesitated and then said:

not called to say anything in my own

the aaEs bsr he pointed bs t.
She was led up before the Judges desk
and given sound lecture, and cautioned
nevr to repeat the offense.
Turning to Mrs. Wolrhade, Judge Nc
Adam said:

81 did, but only for two months"
We'll, / grant your husband the de-
cree he wanted" said the Judge
That's the kind Of justice you will get

The woman then hurried from the
