distant fifty miles. The fine volcanic
dust fell In great quantities around
him. and he estimated that no less than
two million tons of 1t must have been
elected during this slight outburst.
Prof. Bonney examined the dust from
Cotopaxi, and calculated that 1t would
take from 1000 to $4,000 particles of 1t
to make up a grain In weight.
OF present and particular interest to
the people Of the United States Is the
fact that, like other regions In its
neighborhood. the Philippine archipela-
go abounds in volcanoes. Spanish writ
ers have left accounts of many de-
structive eruptions In the last 800 years.
The most remarkable was that of jan
uary 4, 1S4l. when a volcano on the
southwestern extremity of Mindanoa,
another to the west, on the northern
coast of the island of Luzon. and a
third, in Luzon, far to the north. be-
came active at the same time.
The volcano of Macon or Albay. prov
ince Of Camarines, in the Philippines,
has been In frequent eruption from
1916 down to within the past thirty
years. In 1776 village was destroyed

and some fifty persons perished. In
1914 $4,000 were killed and many wound
ed by an eruption. After the noun
tain had become quiet the record
says. 1T presented n frightful appear
ance. Its former picturesque. highly
cultivated slopes being covered with
barren sand which enveloped the CO.
coanut trees to their tops. The finest
villages of the Camarines were de-
stroyed. and the best part of the prov
ince was converted. into a sandy
waste"
The heights of the Philippine vol
canoes vary from 10000 and 5000 feet
(Albay or Mazon) down to Taal. only
$50 feet high. This last and curious
one is on an islet in the middle of Lake
Bomban. south of Manila. The lake.
originally. no doubt, a vast crater, Is
separated from the China sea by a mar
row isthmus. 1t contains secondary
craters. crevasses emitting vapor and
lakelets of acid water. When II was
in action in 1885 all the vegetation of
the island was burned up. A further
idea of the volcanic activity of the
region may be gained from the fact
that a volcanic island emerged from
the sea on the northern coast Of Luzon
in 1856. grew to 700 feet in four years.
and is now about 500 feet high. The
earthkuake is such a common event In
Manila that 1t is always taken into ac-
count in building operations.

in quick succession. but 1t can really
be likened to no effect produced BY hu-
man agency. Nothing ever heard from
the sky. indeed. can equal 1t in range
or volume. The great eruption Of
Krakatoa was heard 1000 miles away!
The water wave" is the shock trans
mitted to the sea. The largest Of these,
as a consequence Of the Krakatoa erup-
ton, on reaching the shores Of Sumat-
ra and Java, rose to a height of hfty
feet above normal water level, destroy
ing 163 villages entirely and 132 partial
ly. More than $4,000 human beings
perished.
The ''froth" upon the surface Of lavas
varies greatly in character. In the
majority of cases the lavas consist of
a mass Of crystals floating in liquid
magma, end the distension Of such a
mass by the escape of steam from its
midst gives rise to the formation Of
the rough. cindery looking material to
which the name of "scoriae" Is ap-
piled.

standing on the summit Of Chimbarazo.

lava IL 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and
that there being an increase Of one de-
gree for each nifty or sixty feet Of de-
scent the temperature at 5000 feet is
M degrees. or boiling point. The
level Of the floor in a volcano like
Vesuvius may rise nearly to the brink
Of the crater, or in one like Kilauea at
least some hundreds Of feet. The erup-
tion-begins when the pressure from the
vapors generated and confined below
and from the hydrostatic pressure of
the lava column Is too great to be
withstood by the containing mountain.
The mountain, therefore breaks, the
conduit IL rent open on one side or the
other and the lava runs out. II the
mountain Is too strong the lava merely
rises to the summit and overfows. The
eruptions Of the present day are usu-
ally through assures, however. and the
vibrations which attend the rending
Of the mountain may result in the
underground rumbling and shock,
which means earthquake. So it was at
Martinique.

Zip in @e Dome

Going UP to the dome" is the night
mare of the state house janitors-that
is the wish being expressed by other
people. For in spite of the sign limit
ing the top of the capitol building as
an observation point to p. m. on
made to understand. Consequently
hosts innur,erable flock in to climb the
winding stairs at all hours.
So the dome and the limitations of
the visitors cause more trouble for the
janitors than myriads of dandelions
state house lawn.
Solid" couples attracted by the
tabled darkness and obscurity of the
upper portions of the capitol, flock in
on Sundays. They have to be relig-
iously turned down by such janitors as
day furnishes a fitting pretext in some
cases. In others there are bold at
tempts to debauch the official by sneak
ing him a half dollar but he must re-
main firm and he usually avoids re-
sponsibility by the true tale of the
keys being locked up" They are.
But still he could get at them should
the capitol take fire and be in imminent
danger of burning down.
Many citizens of the state swarm to
the dome to chew tobacco and spit
Others transform the place into a
smoker and leave their cigarette and
cigar stubs where they will be most
conspicuous.
AS the fourth of July season draws
nigh, ambitious boys sneak domewards
to toss lighted firecrackers into the
atmosphere below.
One day last summer some boys al
lowed a heavy oaken frame to slide
down one of the wires connected with
the dome. 1t caught on a post just
above the north entrance of the build
ing and dangled there for a half day
a menace to pedestrians and passersby.
Never a day passes but belated ones
try to ascend after o'clock. In such
instances it is discovered that "the
man who has the key to the dome has
just gone home" No one seems to
know just where ne lives. Then the
troops of visitors file away, sadly dis
appointed.
Occasionally strangers wish a pilot.
In such instances the dome janitor''
must go up and point out the features

Poster collecting, according to the
newsdealer, has died out almost com
pletely in the last year or two. Four
or five years ago when the fad was at
its height a number of worthless mag
aziues were started on the strength Of
the posters which were made to ad-
yertise them. Several OF the maya
zines have survived, and so have some
OF their posters, and not the good ones.
The most voracious OF the poster col
lectors were college students, many Of
whom plastered not only the walls but
the ceilings of their rooms with gaudy
staring Beardsleyesque prints Now
even in the college rooms the fad has
lost favor. Posters. as a rule, how
ever. are made better now than they
were. not only in plain, but in execu-
ton. The newsdealers bless the lapse
of the craze because they can now
keep attractive posters in the win
dows.
