 According to observations made in the meteorological observatory at Ciudad Guzman, the volcano of Colima is subject to daily eruptions Of medium intensity, throwing out lava and burn ing ashes through two large openings, one of which was recently opened in the center.of the cone, the other be- ing an old aperture on the west side of the peak. According to various sayants, these eruptions are not likely to be dangerous in themselves, but they are held to be the precursors A earthquakes, which in former times have caused great havoc such as the one which tcok place in Zapotlan. The town just referred to has popu- lation of F, 900 and is situated in the state of Jallsc0 in close proximity to the volcano of Colima. It has several times been subject to great danger from volcanic eruptions, and at the time referred to, just subsequent to this disturbance in Mt. COlima, an earthQuake followed which broke the arch of the parroquial church at the time when it was full of people at worship. The church fell with a mighty crash and buried over 800 per sons beneath the ruins This fact is of great interest now inasmuch as the volcano is said to show the same me neurological conditions as it did be- fore the earthquake of 1906.

THE COST OF LIVING.
The Question a. to Whether 1t Is Greater
In Summer or In Winter.

Il was talking with my wife the other
day about the cost Of living" said a man
"about whether IL costs more to live in
summer or in winter, and she said it de
pended good deal on how you were stu
ated-that Is, whether you lived In the
country, or in smaller city where you had
a garden and raised your own vegetables
or whether you lived in city where you
had to buy all those things, and 1t depend
ed also a good deal on how you were cir.
cumstanced. She thought that people who
were downright poor and people who were
rich could live cheaper In summer than In
winter-this is of course not taking any
account of summer travel and that sort OF
thing; the poor, because in summer they
had less to pay for fuel and the clothes re
quired cost less, and they could If need be
live on as little as at any time; the rich,
eating more or less fresh vegetables and
fruits In winter, because vegetables were
cheaper in summer.
''As to people In moderate circum-
stancs, that is with incomes sufficient to
live comfortably on, she thought that II
anything il cost them rather more 10 live
in summer. l.; ut, fuel and clothes cost
them more in W inter, but they spent less
in winter for food The moderate people
couldn't afford TO eat fresh vegetables In
winter; they ate canned goods then, and
in less quantity and at less expense than
the fresh vegetables and fruits of which
they ate freely in summer.
Upon further elaboration, however,
my wife was inclined TO think that, taking
one thing with another, it cost people In
moderate circumstances about the same to
live in winter as In summer, and with this
view / am inclined to agree. In fact,
know, when come TO think about 1t, that
our own expenses In winter and summer
are strikingly uniform, as indeed they are
the year around, SO closely do they at all
times approximate to our income. New

EVEN SILK IS ADULTERATED
Tannate of Tin and Silica Used to
Give 1t Weight

-
Some improvements in the treat
ment OF silk are announced Ordinari-
", silk is weighted" by depositing
tannate Of tin on the fiber, a repetition
Of this being made until an increase
Of the weight amounts to from is to 20
per cent, beyond which it is not con
sidered safe to go i'll the case of silk
intended to be dyed light shades or to
be bleached. Recently a German in
yentor has brought forward a process
in which silica is the weighing agent.
In carrying out this method three
steps are described. First, the silk,
raw or in any stage Of manufacture.
and either before or after dyeing. is
worked for an hour in a bath of per-
chloride of tin; then. after. squeezing
and washing, it is worked in a warm
solution of water glass or soluble sill
cate of soda for about an hour, fol-
lowed by washing, having also been
previously passed through solution
of phosphate of soda. The operation
may be repeated a gain and again, with
no harmful effect on the fiber or on
the subsequent dyeing, and in five ops
erations the silk may be increased in
weight some 100 to 12O per cent. The
silk is now soaped, and, if already
dyed, is cleared in an emulsion of olive
3oilsand acid. Detroit News Tribune.

DEF'INITION-A feeling in the
bones is a power of prescience; an oc-
cult influence to which only delicately
organized and slpersensitive constitll-
lions are subject. 1t is a prerogative
of femininity. None Of courser mold

with the force of conviction that he
was doing this in the library with his
board and paint cans established on
her handsome center table, and-hor-

embroidered coyer-one of her most
valued wedding presents which Mrs.

reached it after process of reasoning,
was one of many, which, it should be
observed, has never proved to argu-
mentative man that the wolnan's way
is the correct way Of arriving at the
conclusion for all that, but her way

Washington, March IL. Another
stirring chapter in the Spanish-C Cuban
controversy was added by the senate.
Many senators Indicated a desire to be
heard on the subject. and the con-
ference report accepting the house
Cuban resolutions went over.
The speech Of the day was by SEN
ator Hale of Maine i'll vigorous op-
position to this resolution and to the
offensive interference of the United
States in foreign questions. The
senator declared that the spirit Of
3ntilitarism was abroad in the land;
that our course involved the possibili-
ties of war With all it's dreadful con-
sequences. Mr.. Hale brought out the
kindly action Of Spain at the time of
our civil war when British-builtsp ri-
yateerS We're prevented from remain
ing for any length OF. time in Spanish
ports, and when American prisoners
We're aboard they were released by
Spanish orders
A Dramatic Incident
occurred when Mr. Hale offered to
read the statement Of Minister de
Lone Of Spain calling in question the
accuracy Of some Of the statements
made by Senators Sherman. Morgan
and Lodge concerning Spanish atroci-.
ties. Mr.. Davis Of Minnesota quickly
objected to the reception of Il docu-
ment from a foreign minister not
formally transmitted. Messrs. Mitch
ell of Oregon, Morgan and Teller
added their protest in the same di-
rection. For a tilne there was some
confusion and Il prospect of Il serious
conflict. but the serenity of the debate
was restored by Mr.. Davis withdraw
ing his objection.
It is expected the debate tomorrow
will continue to have animated
phases. Mr.. Hoar offered q resolu-
ton pcStponing all action on the
Cuban question until April 6. This
resolution will come up under the
rules tomorrow and may form the
basis OF opposition to an adoption of
the house conference report. Another
resolution by Mr. Hoar. was adopted,
