SIGNS OF UPHEAVAL.
Spasms That PresaRe the Approach.
ing Period of Activity in
Volcanoes.

Careful study of the behavior of VOL
canoes has enabled observers in recent
years to predict with some degree of
accuracy when a renewal of plutonic
activity is impending. This was the
case last summer when Mount Etna
for a few days attracted attention,
after seven years of almost complete
quiescence. The last eruption had oc
CURED in 1892, but in the autumn of
1898 blue flames began to emerge from
the mouth of the largest crater and a
great deal of vapor was emitted from
the lesser orifices.
1t was then announced that Etna
seemed to be preparing for an effusion
of lava, probably on the south or south
west slopes. The expected eruption
did not begin till the morning of July
10, 1899, when great volumes of smoke,
with lava and sand, began to issue from
the main crater, but after several days
the activity subsided and Etna soon re-
sumed its peaceful aspect. The pres
ent generation hears little of Santorin,
among the Cyclades, in the Egean sea,
but the volcano will again become a
center of interest if the recent state
ment is true that Santorin is prepar-
ing for another series of the terrific X
| plosions and oatbursts of flame that
| have always marked its active periods.
For 30 years Santorin has been con-
| tent with the continuous mild emission
| of gases. but according to Comics Rem
! dus, of the French Academy of Sci
ences, the volcano now exhibits much
unrest and an active period is predict
| ed. 1t is near the crescent western
| shore of Thera that 6antorin has reared
! itself and two other lava islands above
| the sea. When it finally arouses itself
after long periods of quiescence. no
volcano excels it in the violence of its
outbursts.
The eruptions between 1866 and 1870,
when, according to Reclus, no less than
$4,000 of partial eruptions were count
| ed in five years, drew spectators from
all parts of the world, including some
men of science, whose observations
made distinct addition to our knowl-
| edge of volcanic action. In that period
| the ashes were some etimes thrown to a
height of 4.GOO feet and the immense
outpourings of scoriae more than
doubled the size of the island of Nea
Kammeni.
Old reliable Stromboli, on its island
| 30 miles west of the Italian province of
Calabria, can always be counted on to
present the same kind of intensity of
! phenomena. The latest report says
that seven craters are active, and that
the volcano is showing its normal eX-
| plosive activity" Every few minutes
lava bubbles up in the crater. eXplo-
sions are heard and stones are tossed
into the air. The spectacle. partic-
ularly at night, is pleasing, and the is
land olive growers gather their crop
without fear that Stromboli will ever
misuse them. 1t has it's moments of
irritation, however, and then the ashes
may rise so high into the air as to be
| carried off to the coast of Calabria.

THE FOOTBALL RECORD.
An Itemized Account of the Fatalities |
and Injuries Reported During
the Season.

Nine young men were killed in play
ing football last fall. Four of them
had their spines hurt, two were
thrown head first, two were hurt in
fierce games for which they had not
trained, one broke a blood vessel and
one died of blood poisoning from a
broken arm which he was trying to
hide from his parents.
Eight players were badly hurt, and
some of these are expected to die.
Among the injuries are a broken neck,
The Republican., 1901-01-10

a stamped stomach, concussion of the
brain, paralysis and internal injuries
from being trampled on or thrown
hard while running.
Twenty-Five players suffered broken
bones. The list includes finger, an
ankle, a knee, a cheek bone, two
shoulders, three hands, four legs, five
ribs and seven collar bones. The
number of sprains, dislocations and
bad bruises is legion.
AS result of this record says the
Little Chronicle, there is, as usual at
this time of year, good deal of talk
about reforming football. The cities
of Omaha and Council Bluffs threaten
to stop the game and Chicago has
thoughts of forbidding it in high
schools. The Wisconsin legislature
has been petitioned to suppress the
game i'll that state. However, there
seems no likelihood that the favorite
college sport will be stopped.

A KANSAS GAS TOWN.
Where Lights and Fuel Are to Be
Had at Very Small Ex-
pense.

Coffeyville, Kan, the border town
that some years ago sprang into pub
lie notice by reason of the great
fight with ''the Dalton boys" has
now become a city of 10000 inhabit
ants and possesses a fuel supply that
without any joking, easily supports
its claim of being, even yet, the
warmest town in the west, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
This, however, does not consist in
buckshot cartridges and Winchester
ammunition, but in the flow of some
10 gas wells, all well within the city
limits. These have been opened at
various times during the past few
years-not for the purpose of getting
gas, for the average prospector looks
on gas well as a sort of rival, but
with an idea of striking oil. Owing
doubtless to the prospectors' an.
tipathy for the natural blowers
nothing was done with them until re,
Gently.
Their owners, in fact, generally
abandoned them, and about q wear
ago the leading citizens of the place
bought them all up and formed the
Coffeyville Fuel Supply company
They piped the whole town, and in
consideration of 4O-year franchise
from the city put in lamp every
half block, agreeing to keep them
burning "a hours every day if the
city council wished.
These street lamps are about as
unique as anything of their kind;
they are merely four-incb iron pipes
run up from the mains to a height of
about ten feet. There is no pretense
at burners-when it is time to light
them the lamplighter comes around
with handspike and a long-range
torch. proceeds to pry the valve from
the main open. and then, while the
gas rushes up with a roar like a
whirlwind, puts his torch to the tor
of the pipe. There is flash and a
big pop like the touching off of lot
OF loose powder, and the light is 60
ing. The flame rises to a height of
two or three feet and when the wind
blows whips and futters into long
streamers; and at all times the roar
OF the burning sounds as loud as the
blast of Kansas norther.
1t is in the private use of the gas.
however, that the system here is
most remarkable. There is not gas
meter in the whole place. A two-inch
pipe is run from the main to the
house or building in which it is to
be used. The fuel company gives the
user the privilege of keeping the valve
open all the time if he so wishes
so long as he pays his so cents pei
month.
Controlling the pressure from the
mains is left to the consumer. and
many devices are in use which more
or less successfully accomplish this
object. Besides using the gas for a
cooking fuel, most householders heat
their homes with it. Crates are un.
known. When it is desired to heat q
room the gas is turned on to its full.
est capacity, and the blaze looks like
the blast from a furnace.
All this, which in a better deveL
oped region would be the worst sort
OF waste and extravaganza, is herr.
the best economy. There is simply
no other use to which the gas can be-
put.

the Gsnssal Health u Broken Down BY
Brsathias Through tAs Mouth.
Few people realise what an import
ant organ. the nose IL. It Is the first Of
the organs Of respiration, and unless
it, functions are we'll performed the
whole breathing process is deranged.
The nostrils are not open cavities with
smooth walls through which the air
passes in and out, as it would through
a rubber tube. They are divided into
several compartments by bony projec-
tions covered with mucous membrane,
and the volume Of air in entering is
broken up into several streams, SO that
all of it comes in. contact with the
lining membrane. This warm and
moist membrane catches the dust and
other impurities, and warns the air so
that it will do no harm when coming
in contact with the more delicate mem
brane in the bronchial tubes and lungs.
When the nose is stopped up from any
cause one must breathe through the
mouth and if this is continued for any,
length Of time the general health will
inevitably suffer. The mouth itself
suffers first. The mucous membrane
loses it's moisture and becomes in
famed. The air is neither warmer nor
purified, and it irritates the lining
membrane of the air passages all the
way down to the lungs, SO that con-
dition of sluggish Inflammation is ex-
cited. But the general effects are more
serious than the local. One who is a
mouth never gets enough air.
During the day he suffers less in this
respect, for the nerve centers are more
active and force the respiratory mus
cles to act more energetically; but at
night this vigilance is relaxed, the
amount Of inspired air is greatly re-
duced and all the tissues suffer for
want of oxygen. For this reason the
mouth-breather always feels tired and
out Of sorts in the morning. The mind
suffers as we'll as the body and mouth
breathing children are almost always
backward in their studies. A child
who always breathes with open mouth
and whose voice has a nasal twang,
should be examined and treated at the
earliest possible moment, for the long
er the trouble exists the worse it is
for the child mentally, morally, and
physically.
