AN ERUPTION NEAR LEGAsPI.
Volcano Mayor in the Philippines
Becomes Active

Col. Walter Howe. Of the Forty seventh
Infantry has made report to the War
Department on the eruption Of the Vol
cano Mayor. eight miles from Legaspi. in
the Philippines. He says that it COM
menced on the afternoon Of March l. and
that with the naked eye one could see
large stones thrown out He adds.
The eruption iuctuated from time to
time but gradually grew worse. until large
streams OF red-hOt lava could be seen at
night flowing down the mountain, one
stream apparently reaching the sea. about
six miles from here. One day and night
the eruption was accompanied by a rum
bling noise. at times increasing TO a roar,
which was very terrifying All the houses
in Legaspi shook and windows and doors
ratified.
"On the morning OF March this vibra-
ton and noise was very t'ying-there was
no wind and the clouds of smoke could be
seen reaching far into the heavens, per
haps five miles or more above the top OF
the volcano This spread out and covered
the town. the sun became Obscured. and a
thin cloud of ashes fell constantly. II
cleared in the afternoon sufficiently to
show about one-half Of the crater at sun
set. but the rumbiing and roaring. with
the flow Of lava, continued all night. This
morning March a the eruption seems TO
be practically over, although smoke OBJ
sCures the mountain and steam is still ris-
ing from the hOi lava"

The Curious Plan Adopted by
Clever solicitor.


The case Of Miss Moore's viii is GER
tainly one of the most curious which has
ever come before the courts. This woman
was so much affected by paralysis that
though perfectly capable Of forming a
sound judgment on matters around her.
she could express it neither in writing
nor in speech. In such circumstances it
would at first sight seem almost impossi-
bic for her to make a valid Will, but her
solicitor was quite equal TO the occasion.
He prepared cards. on one set of which
were the various items Of her property and
on the other the names Of the persons
She was likely TO desire to bequeath it TO-
Then whenever combination was made
of the right person and the right item Of
property she was able to express her as
sent. and the ingenious lawyer recorded
the fact. and subsequently put her wishes
into legal form With admirable If per
haps rather unexpected common sense the
court held that as there was practically
no doubt that the viii compiled in this
strange way expressed Miss Moore
wishes she could not be regarded as hav-
ing died intestate. That this view should
have been adopted is another proof Of the
laudable desire which the courts now en-
terrain to give effect TO the wishes Of
testator. however they may have been eX-
pressed. and to admit almost any sort of
will rather than make declaration Of in
testacv.
