with no gloss, no frills and no furbelows
on it and with no political bias what

1t may look strange how some people

AHCGELINE FIRE.


Volcanoes Isehring Sea Islands are in
State of Eruption.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE revenue
cutter Commodore Perry has returned
from Alaska, where she has been con-
fronted each night for eight weeks by
gigantic line of fire. AS Captain Smith
expresses it: "The DEVILS stokers have
teen stirring up the subterranean sea of
flames that is supposed to lie thousands
of feet under the Behring's bed, and as
a consequence fully twenty of the forty
volcanoes in the AIeutian chain are now
active"
The line of islands lying between the
Behring sea and the Pacific ocean belong
to the United States. and on them are
prob bly, the only active volcanoes lying
in American territory.
Much has been written of Bogaslov
island, which has been throwing up a

this singular line of islands were extinct
craters only.
Now. as far as the eye can reach. from
any point in the Behring sea, adjacent,
or even at distance from the
famous seal islands, the rising smoke
and steam can be seen in both
directions. The eruption ia general and
so very lively that at night the airy col

deep in the earth beneath the craters
No where else on the globe can such a
sight be Witnessed.
Ia the day time only the white smoke
or steam is visible. As dusk comes and
darkness follows, the wonder grows. The
brighter columns show up in the cold
Alaska night first, and as 1t gets darker
other vivid curls of smoke are to be seen
at greater distances. Some times when
the position of the observer is advan-
tageous dozen or fifteen of these mod
ern pillars of fire are in sight.
The show of subterranean force is the
most noteworthy ever observed on Ameri-
soil AS proof of the mighty power that
is at work beneath the islands a ueck of
land has been forced up out of the sea
between Bogaslov and old Bogaslov and
the two islands are now one. It is queer
looking land, The rocks in this neck are
manifestly of volcanic origin, black and
smooth in surface, as if once melted.

THE NOTED SHAKESPBAREAN ACTOR.

Grifhth's Faust said to be ehe Equal
Theatrical.
"First Shakespeare wrote Cleopatra;
after him there came q man named John
Dryden, and he read Shakespeare play
and tried to write an improvements; but
everywhere that he varied from Shakes
peare he went the wrong way. Then
came Sardou, and being a Frenchman,
injected some of his French nature into
it.. But the truth is that if anything has
been written by Shakespeare there's no
use in anyone else trying to write it"
This is what Lawrence Marston, the hus-
band of Lillian. Lewis, thinks.
Miss Lewis appears at the Grand
Friday night. Those supporting her are
said to be capable. Edmund Collier, the
talented Shakespearean actor, takes the
part of Mark Antony. The play as
produced by Miss Lewis is said to be one
gorgeous display of color. "a picture of
