They Saw an Island Eme erge

Philadelphia-An island was upheaved
on the night of September 18th in the south
ern part of the Indian ocean, according to
the captain and crew of the British steamer
Breconshre, which has arrived here from
Java with a cargo of sugar The man on
outlook, according to the captain, about
o'clock in the afternoon of September 18th,
saw cloud loom up directly ahead. The
cloud spread until the entire horizon ahead
was obscured by wall of vapor, into which
the captain did not dare to enter until the
next mornils:, when he would have four
teen hours OF daylight ahead of him. The
steamer hove to and the sailors, terrified by
the unusual vapor, waited anXously for the
next day to come. The moon came up and
by its light the sea was seen to be smooth
as glass. Shortly afted 10 O'Clock that night
a booming sound was heard about ten miles
to the noTthward. At the same moment,
borne upon the bosom of an immense wave,
the Breconshire mounted vertically to
point at lease twenty feet above her former
position on the ocean bed and to the ac-
compartment of an immense upheaval of
water an island appeared to leeward where
all previously had been but the sea and sky.
When day dawned clear view was afforded
of the island, and its volcanic origin was
clearly established. 1t consisted of vertical
columns of hard mineral arranged with

There are times when America really
upon which to expend her pent-up enthu-
siasm and patriotism. She has been having
very good time lately, for she has had a
generous supply OF real heroes turned out
for her adulation, and that is we'll as far as
it goes But the great trouble is that as well
as being national heroes, these people are
private individuals, and the strain of posing
as popular idols, after work that has been
ply steal as well as brain work, is too much
for them. and they insist upon retiring as
much as possible into the ranks and taking
a well-earned rest. In the meantime the en-
thusiastic public has to do the next best
upon the sisters and cousins and aunts who,
not having endured the strains of being
heroes or heroines, are equal to receiving
the reward of the relatives brave deeds,
and do so with modest enjoyment. The
editor of a woman's magazine discovered
some time ago this great need of the Amer-
can people, something to worship while the
real idol was resting, and forthwith turned
out a supply of great peoples little relatives,
much to the delight of its readers, and
added thereby great popularity to itself and
many dollars to the cash drawer. This may
have given the needed hint for the bringing
out of great peoples relatives for other pur-
poses.
