VOLCANO TwILIGHTs.

The celebrated astronomer, M.
Camille Flammarion, and other
seismologists declare that the vol
canic eruptions on the Islands of
Martinique and Saint Vincent were
due to cracks in the sea bottom by
which water filtered through to the
hot caverns, forming steam and con-
sequent explosion. 1t is their opin-
ion that the volcanic dust thrown up
in the eruptIons may remain In the
air for some time and have lumln-
Gus effect towards night.
The eruption of Krakatoa in the
Strait of Sunda in 1883, was followed
by just such atmospheric effects as
M. Fiammarion refers to. The
Krakatoa eruption exceeded in vio-
lence any convulsion of its character
of which there was any knowledge.
In its elimination it was a terrific
explosion, the sound of which was
heard over 1000 miles; and the dust
from the crater was thrown to d
height of twenty miles, and being
caught by the upper air currents II
was carried over the entire face OF
the globe. The peculiar, not to say
weird "twilight glows" produced by
this dust were observable for months
IN all countries.
But the "glows" resultant from
the Krakatoa upheaval were not IN
precedented, except as to the matte
of being so widespread. Simila
effects had been previously witnessed
in areas more or less limited, which
lcould be traced to volcanic activity

The Washington Post, which is
nothing il not fair, after making all
kinds of fun of Hon. Joseph Z.
Bailey, of Texas, recently paid that
gentleman high tribute. The Post
now looks upon the Texan as one of
the ablest men in his party and pre-
diets for him an entirely successful
career. AS a constitutional lawyer
the Post thinks Mr.. Bailey has few
peers and probably none in Congress.
His refusal to allow Vice Presiden-
tial boom to be started in his favor
IS taken as an evidence of good sense
by the Post, which thinks that it is
inadvisable at this time to find such
candidate in the South, though the
Post thinks that In the course of q
few years Democracy will look tC
Dixie for her assistant standard
bearer.
