WESTON'S BULL FIGHT.
The Brave Soldier Mounted His Ad-

instance is perhaps as striking as any. 1t
was told by an officer at the Army and
Navy Club day or two ago:
There was in the army no more reck-

weston In his young days. In 1865 when

small herd of buffalo was sighted The lieu

aside his arms He caught up his belt in
which were revolver and knife. and lesped
upon his bareback horse. After a race he
caught up with a huge bull and .emptied
his revolver into his side. The bull faced
him. Weston was several miles from camp
and had no more cartridges.
Determined not to be laughed at. he dis
mounted and drew his knife He walked
to one side of the bull and the animal
turned. He began to run, but the bull kept
his lowered head always toward him. He
kept stopping and turning until the sweat
poured from him. AT last he managed TO
get behind the bull and with a leap landed
upon its back.

UNCE RTAIN RATION
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

HONOLULU, July 20, 1899
Our city is shrouded in smoke from the
powerful eruption which began on Mauna-
loa, 200 miles away. on July 4. The Mari
posa, which arrived yesterday had been
two days in this smoke, unable to take OBJ
servations of the sun. This vapor, issuing
from the mountain at a height of II 900
feet is carried eastward by the upper cur
rent of the atmosphere. It then falls down
and is carried back here by the trade wind.
The sun is quite obscured by it. Hills, two
miles away, are hidden. In former similar
conditions sailing vessels became lost for
days in beating up to windward islands.
Last August in northern California 1 ex-
perienced equally dense smoke from forest
fires. and failed to sight the splendid Mt.
Shasta.

town, encroach upon the bay, and ruin
the harbor. OF all this, there is very small
probability. Insurance against such disas-
ter ought to stand at a very low rate

scent Of lava from Maunaloa by the rising
ground of the kilauea orator, and that of
the kulani cone to the north of Kilauea
From kilauea itself no eruption can reach
Olao, because the activity there has worked
far over to the southwest side of the divide,
which is 500 feet higher than the present
outlet of the lava.
