AN AMATEUR VOLCANO.
Eruption ,of Mount Olympus (Wasf
 Traced to Burning Lignite.

Eruption fof Mount Olympus (Wash.)
 Traced to Burning Lignite.
 The Mount Olympus sensation which lately scared the good people of Wash. ington state with the idea that a vol cano was in active operation in that great mountain, has been brought to a sudden end by the return of an ex. ploring party to find out what was the matter.
 It seems that earth in that vicinity is interlaid with veins of Ignite coal. Forest trees have fallen into the crey- ices and gorges, enormous quantities of leaves have drifted down upon these, and by some means fires have been started which have communicated with the coal veins. Great jets of steam and burst of smoke frequently come from the sides of the mountain and these confirmed the theory that there was a genuine volcano in operation. It seems that the heat has melted the snow which has formed perpetual white cap at the summit. This, trick ling down the sides of the mountain in streams, has fallen upon the fire, which accounts for the great volume of steam. The puffs of smoke and explosions are thought to be caused by the ignition of collections of natural gas.
 This condition of affairs naturally leads to the inquiry whether good many volcanic eruptions might not be traceable to burning Ignite and the explosions of large quantities of coE- fined gases. Be that as it may, Mount Olympus is a seething mass of burning coal, and the volcano scare amounts to nothing-N. Y. Ledger.
