Paris, May 15.-M. Camille Flam-
marion, the astronomer, says he agrees
with Mr.. John Milne the British seis
mologist, as to the cause of the volcan-
ic eruptions in the lesser Antilles. He
believes that the infiltration of water
caused an enormous volitization. He
adds that the volcanic dust may remain
in the air for years and have lumin :
Gus effect at night. The eruption of
Krakatoa in 1883 was followed by phe-
nomena such as those which NJ. Flam-
marion predicts. For months all over
the world the red sunsets" were Oh

attributed the luminous appearance Of
the sky to the mass of volcanic dust
thrown miles into the air by the Kral.-
atoa explosion.

Texas Took General Bragg In.

BY his nomination for the new post OF
consul general at Havana, good story
has been made public concerning Cen
Edward S. Bragg. of Wisconsin, leader
Of the Iron Brigade" and a stanch Gold
Democrat. who is now in Washington.
! General Bragg was a delegate from
Wisconsin to the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago in 1896. He was
then, as ever, a loyal advocate OF the
gold standard. which was swamped by
the pyrotechnic nomination OF William
Jennings Bryan.
While he was in the section reserved
for the Ohio delegation General Bragg
felt desire to make a speech. Straight
way, without moving, he started to ad-
dress the Chair. an action which irri-
tated some of the members OF the Ohio
delegation.
"Aw, go somewhere else to make your
speech" they yelled. 1--WE don't want
you to make any speech in our little
place here" And General Bragg stood
little chance OF getting an opportunity
to air his views.
Just across the aisle sat Jim" Hosg,
afterward governor OF Iowa. Raising his
gigantic frame from his seat. Hogg
stepped into the aisle, caught the diminu
tive form of General Bragg, and stood
him on the seat of the chair as one might
a child. with the remark, Go ahead and
make your speech from there. Texas is
big enough to stand for anything"

MI. Teller's Amende to the Chair.

Senator Wellington occupied the chair
n the Senate Friday, quite an unusual
thing with him. As presiding officer he
had the pleasure of making a ruling in
procedure which was disputed by that
astute and experienced parliamentarian
Mr.. Teller. and which was afterward ac-
knowleIgod TO be correct by the Colorado
Senator.
Senator Lodge had moved that when the
Senate adjourn it should not meet again
until the next Monday. Mr.. Nelson wished
to ask Mr. Lodge to withdraw his motion
and went on to explain that he had
bill, the London clause bill, which he
believed should be taken up.
Some one suggested that motion TO
adjourn is not debatable and Senator
Wellington so ruled. Mr.. Teller express
ed the opinion that a motion to adjourn
TO d nzod cay is debatable, as distin-
guished from a simple motion to adjourn,
which IS not dcbatable. The Chair did
not insist on the ruling and Mr.. Nelson
went on with his request, bat it was voted
down

he went across the chamber TO Senator
Teller's desk. and pointed out standing
rule of the Senate %. one clause of which
reads: THE motions relating to adjourn
ment shall be decided without
debate"
Mr. Teller arose a moment after and
stated his mistake to the Senate, and Mr.
Wellington bowed his acknowledgements.

something should go through without

eliminated
'Mr. Chairman bawled q third man.

Keep Off the Grass.

Considerable yellow journalism
has been in evidence at one time
and another over the hardships
entaifed upon city dwellers by be-
ing told to- keep off the grass. The
pathetic lot of the city child, who
is warned off the grass by cruel
policemen. is dwclt upon in a good
many stories and poems. and the
hcartlessness of park guardians is
also pictured in fervent rhetoric.
But let us look at this thing as
! il is.
Manifestlv. if there are to be
parks in cities. everybody cannot
walk on the grass and gather the
flowers and despoil the shrubs and
throw stones at the birds. The re-
suit of free-for-all regime would
he that there would be no park
worth mentioning for anybody in
about a week. The alternative is.
! therefore, the strict preservation
of the park by means of watch
men and appropriate penalties. \
still more effective means of pres
crvation would be the cultivation
of a spirit of law and order
among the people. If all the pcO-
pie take pride in a park and re-
frain from injuring it as they
would refrain from tearing up the
ornaments in their own homes. no
hardship is involved in the fact
that they cannot walk on the
grass. 1t is better to have a park
subject to certain restrictions than
not to see a green thing anywhere
within the city limits.
y park is to city what the par
ior is to- a poor mans home. Moth
ing is gained by allowing the chill
dren to run riot among their
mothers few treasures, or by |
making them feel that they have a
right to ruin the little spot of |
beauty which is put in the midst
of wilderness of stone and brick
for all to enjoy. 1t is undoubtedly |
best for children to be brought up
in the country. and and if people
are more anxious for this than !
Tor any other advantage to their
children they can generally man
age To secure it. But if they choose
city life they should be willing to
accept its limitations.

The securing of Revolutionary his

in the history antedating 1850. That was

somewhat scarce. In some Of the States
there is great interest in research of
this nature. Especially is this true of
Pennsylvania, where there are a num-

to the time when Penn came to this
country. Their names are scattered
through almost all colonial history.
