TREMENDOUS POWER
SHOWN BY VOLCANOES
Stones and Boulders Thrown for
Miles-Popocatapetl Is the Lar9-
est in America.


The largest volcano in America is
Popocatapetl in Mexico Its LonSs
1868 Spanish feet above the level Of
the sea, and the crater measures H.
600 feet in circumCumference. For
years it was dormant. In 1894 it
manifested signs of activity. causing
great fear in its vicinity, but since
that time it has been very quiet. 1t
may burst out at any time, or it may
stay quiet for centuries to come.
Mount Rainier near Tacoma, Wesh
is the largest volcano in the United
States. 1t is 1900 feet high, and is
believed to be extinct
Volcanoes range In size from tiny
cone to vast mountains. Generally
they are located in mountains near
the sea, and 1t is believed that the
water passing through 20 the fiery
matter under the surface, causes like
that OF steam boiler. BY this the
ory all the phenomena OF volcanic ac-
tion can be accounted for.
Almost all the oceanic islands of
the world are volcanic The largest
fire mountains are those found on the
Hawaiian Islands, When these
mountains were most active the
shocks must have coQyulsed the
whole world. Vesuvius. 'whichhas
base circumference of forty miles. is
dwarf compared with them.
The explosive power Of volcanoes
| is tremendous. Mauna Loa, the chief
crater of the Hawaiian group during
its most violent eruption,-that Of
| 1S52-threw out a fountain of lava
/ 900 feet wide, which spouted over
| 900 feet into the air, Other Hawaiian
| Craters have poured ont streams of
| lava which travelled fifteen miles in
two hours, and afterward continued
to creep along for months, destroying
everything in their path.
Many kinds of material are vomited
by volcanoes. Gases. vapors, ashes,
boulders and lava are the principal
things emitted Acids are also eject
ed. Mount ldjen, in Japan poured
out so much acid water that a great
lake was formed near by.
Some volcanoes emit ashes so fine
that the finest flour is course in com
parison, These ashes penetrate a
house through thetiniest crevices,
and persons who breathe them die
quickly. They are generally so hot
as to be sitting when 49,
Ashes have fallen

This Was the case in 1922
Hiono Vesuvius.
In 1885 the Cosequina yo.
Nicaragua threw out such
quantity Of these fine ashes tn
fcct darkness prevailed within
dius of thlrty-five miles.

There had been repeated massacres

Darians in Armenia and thousands of
Christians there lost their lives and

ed, and the citizens along the route
show a desire for it. It should
have every encouragement possible,
as its completion would put our peo-

nish largely increased facilities for

D~The candidates for the Dem
ocratic nominations at the coming
primary are all out hustling for
votes now, and some of them even
electioneer with some OF the Re-
publicans, and announce in Re.
publican paper, forgetting that they
are likely to lose Democratic votes
at the primary thereby-as such a
course is apt to create suspicion
in the minds of some Democrats.
Some men are said to be candidates
who have not announced in all the
Democratic papers. 1t is generally
conceded that any candidate who is
afraid to let all the Democrats know
that he is an aspirant, is only can
didate in some one else's interest,
and does not really expect or want
nomination himself. That mo-
tive for race should not be en-
couraged by Democratic voters-as
it is a deceit upon its face, and the
men generously permitting them
selves to be used as tools, are not
often competent for public Office.
