A VOLCANIC WONDER.


ggT Gated In the Northwest
The. entire absence of easily-recog-
nized volcanic craters in the eastern
part of the United States has tended to
create the impression that in volcanoes
this country is below the average. But
to dispel this notion it is only necessary
to make trip through the northwest.
In Washington, Oregon, California, Me-
vada and idaho is the largest volcanic
district in the world. The Lassen peak
volcanic, ridges; the most general fea-
ture in the district, resulted chiefly from
superficial accumulations of material
thrown out from within the earth and
piled up in mountain masses about
the point of exit. From the summit
of Lassen peak, looking northeast, a
dark and desolate lava field and crater
are pointed out as the "Cinder Cone"
This may be comfortably reached on
horseback, but camping outfit is rec
essary, as there is no settlement near
the place.
Approaching the region the traveller
first encounters a sprinkling of the
fine volcanic sand and small bits of dark
brown pumice spread on the ground.
This increases as he goes, until the
sand gives character to the whole land
scape, imparting dull dark blue to
the soft earth, and rendering travel
difficult. When first seen on nearer
view, Cinder cone gives the impression
of newness. One looks in vain for steam
rising from the crater, and feels disap-
pointed at seeing none.
Charred trunks of trees attest the
great heat of the place in recent times,
but one cannot find on the living trees
trace of volcanic sand that might
have lodged in knot holes as it fell. The
dull, somber aspect of the slopes is
greatly relieved on the southeast side
by the carmine and orange-colored
Lapilli, so that from distance it has
the pleasing hues of sunset.
The strangeness of the scene is great
ly enhanced by the almost complete alb
bushes cling upon the outer slopes to
give life to the barren cone. No white
man or Indian now living is known to
have been an eye witness to the erup-
ton, and it must be remembered that
such an eruption would not leave the
people of,that region in doubt as to what
was happening.
A number of persons now living in
the Sacramento valley, who crossed the
emigrant trail at the base of the cone
in 1858, say that the lonely bushes
growing near the summit were APP
parently as large as now. Whatever
may be the historical testimony as to
the time of the eruption, the geologic
evidence clearly shows it before the be-
ginning of this century.-N. Y. Jour-
nal.

Presence OF Mind.

One of the most remarkable instances
of presence of mind on record was that
shown by Selous, the African big game
sportsman. He was caught by an en-
ragged elephant which he had wounded
and pinned to the earth by tusk which
cut through his thigh to the bone, tear
ing gaping wound. Selous retained
full consciousness and pretended to be
dead. The elephant watched him close
ly for few moments to see if he was
alive, then jerked his tusk from his
body and the ground, which it had
penetrated, rose to its feet and stag
gered off to receive it's death from
friends of the plucky hunter, who had
not fired, fearing that the animal would
fall and crush the wounded man.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

BRIBERy IN ILLINOIS.

By Chicago Paper.
Chicago, June l0.-The Journal
says that $750,OO0 was today
divided among the State legisla-
tors who voted for the Allen street
car bills. Some members got ms
high as $4,000 for their votes,
while the cheap ones got but $500
the latter figure, however, being
the minimum. Only three men,
bers of the lower House voted for
the measures without compensa-
ton. One changsd his vote and
came over at the last minute, and
the gangs steering committee has
been wondering ever since why he
did it. Two others we're secured
on trades, they promising to vote
for the Allen bill in consideration
of the gangs support of some pet
measure of theirs. The business
was done mostly in Chicago, the
|paymaster occupying ian Office on
the seventh floor of an Office
building south of Monroe street
and east of Fifth avebue. d.
"The details of the transactions
are not hard to learn. Legislative
members themselves tell about it,
their only stipulation being that
their names be withheld. An ex.
perienced lobbyist is authority for
the statement that the late Assem-
bly, was the most notoriously cor
rupt since the famous Lake front
session of 1869. He says the de-
msnd for SO much affirmative leg
islation and the vast use of money
has spoiled future Legislatures
for the corporations.
Members of the gang are said
to have made all the way from
$4,000 to $50, 900 apiece. Those on
the outside made from $4,000 to
$1,000 each. Besides the regular
outlay for the passage of the gas
consolidation bill, the Gas Trust
is reported to have given up $780,
600 to one little coterie of twelve
Senators.
"The same little band of Sen
ators did a thing or two to the
railway people," continues the
Journal. "They had the Allen
bill tied up in the Senate tighter
than a drum, and it was only by
a specially generous largesse that
they were induced to let it go. All
legislation cost more money than
was anticipated on account of the
imperfect organization of the Sen.
ate gang. The old crowd, which
has usually done the business, was
repudisted and the younger fell
lows attempted to handle the busi-
ness. The consequence was that
the old members formed little
blocking organization of their
own and every good thing was
virtuously held up until the gray
boards got what they thought was
fair-and little more"
