One of Our VoIcanos,

The volcano of IHilauea, on the is
land of Hawaii is agin active, after a
practical rest of five years. The
steamer w. G, Halls officers report
that when the vessel was at Punaluu,
on the southern coast of the island,
about 80 miles from the volcano, they
saw, last Monday morning, immense
clouds OF smoke rising from the crater.
An effort was made to get communities
tfon with the volcano house by tele-
phone, TO learn more of The extent of
the activity, but connections could not
be secured. There has since been no
steamer from the island of Hawaii, by
wh'loh further news could be brought,
but The Kinau is due from Hilo tonight
The last considerable eruption of Kill
auea was in 1894

Armor Plate for Safety Wants.

nlilOF ldtt lOl odIelt fdullS'
Local bankers are much Interested
in the tests undertaken to ascertain
whether or not armor plate stell was
equal or superior to other metals for
purposes of bank vault and safe con-
structlon, The first vault built from
whether or not arqnor plate steel was
lately erected for the Union Trust
Company, of Pittsburg, and not long
ago was inspected by New York bank
ers interested in providing additional
storage space for gold at the Clearing
House.
The Fittsburg vault has some novel
features, and is 10 feet inches by 16
feet 6 inches by feet inches, being
composed OF but eight plates, including
the door The entire front of the
vault 19 feet inches by 0 feet in
ches) Is Of single plate of armor 8
inches thick. The plate is reinforced
by nlckel-steel plate Of the same size
6H inches thick, making total thick
ness of 141k inches. The opening for
the door is made through the front
plate, and is feet inches in dlame-
ter The bolt work of the door radi-
ates from the center after uhe manner
of spoles radiabing from the hub of a
wheel, the locking bolts being equally
distributed.
The armor plates are dovetailed to-
gether and clamped from the inside by
a patented process. BY the new meth
cd the armor plates can be made %
inches thick, elevating the necessity of
using bolts and screws for securing
enough plates together to form body
of metal of reasonable thickness. The
new vaults are Thought to have decld-
ed advantages over the old styles of
laminated steel construction, and may
be adopted by the Clearing House peo-
pie year hence If .ney should need
the additional space by that time An
other large vault of armor plate con-
structlon is boing built for the Phila-
delphia Saving Fund Society, and will
be completed in the fall.--New York

Run Down By a Wheel.

Last-eyening as William Meagle and
wife were waiting for a car on Greene
street in front of Richardson's drug
store, Frank Kesterman. mounted
on a wheel, and rioing at a pretty
good gait, ran into Meagle, knocking
him down and giving him some very
severe bruises about the head and arm.
No bones were broken, but 1t was a
hard jolt, such as no man cares to re.
ceiye.

NOZZLE COUNTY, DECORATIONS.

No. ON the Mckee lease at Belle
Valley, Noble county, continues to in
crease. Work is being pushed rapidly,
and in few months the rigs will be
seen towering the hill tops in every di-
recbion. The Standard Oil Company
are starting a test well two miles to
the south of No. Friedman Bros. and
are drilling on the Thomas Racey
farm, one mile west They expect to
reach the sand in nineteen days. Lease
land is now at great premium. As a
result of the great squabble for terri
tory among oil men, farmers are in
many eases surprised to find such an
increase in their bank accounts, and
we notice an unusual amount of hand
shaking and oourtesles among them.
Many OF them are preparing Ito turn
over their farms to the operators and
retire. zoologlst Preston, who has
one-fourth of the county leased, has
gone TO New York to consult some OF
his advisors in regard to his interest
here.
The Union Gas company are laying a
pipe line TO Scio preparatory to utlllz-
ing the gas. They will also connect

The almshouse is the distinctively
rauper institution. 1t might with
much propriety be called Pauper Town.
Its average population is about $500,
In considering the statistics of this in
slitution it is we'll to remember that
the average moral condition is exceed
ingly low. The worthy and unfortu.
nate are there, but those who have
spent their substance and their physi-
cal and mental energies in unworthy
living are present in great numbers.
The total admissions from 1885 to
1895 were 27,743. OF these only II. 6
per cent. were born in the United
States. The S5.4 per cent. born
somewhere out of the United States
were distributed as follows: 60. 4 per
cent. We're born in ireland, IA in Ger
many, A. in England, % in Scotland
and "A per cent. in other countries.
The most striking fact that appears
here is that six ont of every ten of
New York city's paurcrs were born in
1reland-more than four times rs
many as those born in the United
States and nearly two and one half
times rs many as were born in all
other foreign countries. Germany's
percentage in the almshouse is exactly
the sane as in the city, namely, IA !;
England's is twice as large as in the
city. while Scotland's is three times rs
large. Mr.. Byron c. Mathews in The
Forum.

A Ring with n story.

The wife Of retired army officer
whose home is in Washington Gen.
l.. let us call him--wears ring which
has bit Of II history. 1t is Al old
fashioned ring with an old-fashioned
oval setting of glass over lock of
brown hair. The hair is faded now,
but when the ring was new-fn1 hioned
the woman who wears it cut that
tress, warm and bright, from among
her curls so that her handsome young
soldier might carry remembrance Of
her into his first campaign. He Wore
it i'll the ring on his finger for many
weary month. In the Wilderness he
was wounded, and in the rough field
hospital his arm was taken off at the
shoulder so hurliedly that the sleeve
was cut through and the gauntlet left
on the severed hand. A day later a
friend visited the wounded soldier in
the hospital and heard him ask whe;e
the ring was. Nobody knew. The
friend went to search for il. There
are men who amber to have seen
in war time human limbs piled up like
cordwood beside n hospital after
battle. 1t was in such pile that the
friend searched till he found gaunt-
leted hand with the ring on it. The
wounded soldier slept that night with
the precious ring on his one remaining
hand. That's the rings history, and
Mrs. l.. would part with many another
jewel ten times its value before she
would allow the old-fashioned ring
with the faded hair to leave her finger.

A Nisiit Assign ment.

A we'll known chief engineer of the
navy, tipping the scales at trifle more
than 800 pounds, was recently ordered
to take charge of the mechanical de-
partment of one of the smaller gum
boats on the Pacific station. The en-
gineer did not particularly like the
assignment, but it did not worry him
to the point of suicide.
He simply sat down AMI made n
sketch OF the exceedingly narrow
doors that lead into the engine rooms
of the gunboat to which he was Or
derel, marking the dimensions of tho
doors in figures on the sketch. Below
his drawing OF one of the engine room
doors this Jolly chief engineer made n
neat sketch of himself, full figure, not
exaggernting his Falstatiian paunch a
tritle.
He attached his own dimensions in
feet and inches. circumferentially, to
this sketch of himself. Then he put
the sketch in an envelope and ''re-
spectfully submitted" them to the
bureau of navigation. 1t was sort of
document that occasionally makes a
hit. Philadelphia Times.
