How Volcanic Eruptions Are Caused.

s. The question as to whether the at'
traction of the moon has any influence
upon the action Of volcanoes is one up
on which scientists differ. Bischoff's
theory as to volcanic eruptions is the
one generally accepted as correct-i. e.,
that the immediate cause Of volcanic
action is due to the fact that water per-
colates through assures i'll the surface
down to the hot regions beneath, where
it is made steam at high pressure and
forces for itself passage through the
superintendent crust, urging with it
molten matter and the debris caused in
the upheaval of the strata to produce
vent. If this theory be accepted, it
would seem that the attraction Of the
moon has little or nothing to do with
volcanic movements, unless it can be
said that the moon, which causes high
tides and therefore facilitates the ad-
mission of the waters of the ocean to
the interior Of the earth, has thereby
caused the volcanic eruption. ltappears
from observations that earthquakes,
which usually precede and indicate &C
tivity in volcanoes, more frequently
happen at the time Of full moon. But
this Of itself cannot be regarded as
evolving general law.

Pins are made of copper and zinc wire.
The metal is cast into ingots, which aye
rolled into sheets after having been an
nealed several times. Afterwar( the
sheets are cut into strips so fine as to re-
ss1nble wire and then by machinery the
wires are cut and afterward the pins are
pointed and headed. After the completion

ton of sawdust to the point of resemblance
to tho pins of commerce. The process is
by no means complicated, but much in
genuity is required, for the competition in
pin making is considerable, and the mar
gin of profit from pin manufacture is
therefore not SO large as to permit the sue

Where Princeton Got Her skyrocket Cheer.
On all public occasions student cnthu-
siasm finds expression in the well known
Princeton cheer, tho "skyrocket, as it
has been called. Undergraduates of today
may think it has come down from a time
"whereof the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary" But this would be an
error. All college cheers are of modern
date. Princeton's is among the Oldest
Nevertheless, SO years ago it was unknown.
Where did it come fromp Who invented
it? These are momentous questions and
are answered differently by different men.
A member of the class Of go declares
that the late DR.. Woolsey johnson of New
York of that class first sounded the
"hooray, hooray, hooray, tiger, siss- boom
ali Princeton" in one of Professor
Sohenck's ROTATIONS. But Chancellor
Alexander T. McGill of the class of 81
says he remembers quite distinctly when
the Seventh regiment Of New York went
to the war and how nearly the whole col.
lege went down through the Potter woods
to the old depot by the canal at midnight
to greet 1t as 1t passed through. The
cheers Of the boys were responded to by
the Seventh with the "skyrookets, which
SO impressed the youthful mind that 1t
was INDUCED in at first as borrowed prop
erty, and later, as time advanced, was
adopted as the college cheer.-James W.

leave that institution. During the clos
ing months of the civil war he entered
the United States navy ard served for
q short period. Then he entered Lin

he remained for some time as a student.
Upon leaving the university he became

After serving for several years in this

the colored schools of Bordentown. It
was while holding this position that
he was appointed clerk in the fourth

and he resigned to take UP teaching
again. He became connected with the

appointed district principal with super

DOING AWAY WITH DUST.
A Great Boon to All Who Travel o
Hailw0ys.

Great Boon to All Who Travel on
Railways.
The result of a series of experiments in
progress for several weeks on the Camden
and Atlantic railroad, which gives promise
of doing away with dust, one of the trying
discomforts of railway travel, was made
public recently by officials of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and j. 81. Niohol, assistant
engineer of the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad company, who Is the patentee of
the device.
Superintendent Dayton was averse at
first to talking about the matter. but he
finally admitted that the company had been
experimenting with oil as q means of per-
manently settling the dust nuisance on
it's Atlantic City branch and that the
experiments had been highly successful
wherever tried. He felt that the dust
problem, which was one of the most per-
picking that railroad men had to deal with,
had at last been solved, and that with the
completion Of the improved railroad sprin-
kler or sprayer they would be able to carry
their patrons to the seashore without the
slightest discomfort.
The plan Is to treat the surface of the
tracks and roadbed, including the sides Of
slopes In CUTS with heavy oil Of low cost,
the product of petroleum distillation. This
oil causes the loose dust particles on the
surface to adhere together and prevents
their being lifted by the rush Of air caused
by the train.
The new plan has several features Of
lesser Importance, the first Of which Is the
preservation Of cross ties. The ties being
covered with oil, rainwater is prevented
from penetrating them, and in a measure
from penetrating below the surface Of the
ballast.-New York Herald.
