THE VOLCANOES OF KAmoHArkA
nava Flows and Earthquakes Disturb
In ana So.

Nhva Flows and Earthquakes DAAsurb
LenI sna Sc.
Kamchatka has many volcanoes. Che
only ones in Russian territory tat
are still active. They are unusually
impressive. Their SUBMITS are al
ways smoking and often glow with
molten lava, though they are clad in
eternal snow and are covered with
glaciers.
The volcanic eruptions are very
grand, but being witnessed only by
few natives or Russian officials they
awaken but little attention in the
west. About forty of the mountains
are of volcanic origin, but of these
not more than twelve are still active.
One of these remarkable eruptions
occurred last fall at the Avacha vol
cano, 8,210 feet high, on the southeast
coast of Kamchatka. The eruptions
were accompanied by subterranean
rumblings that were audible for six
ty miles. These phenomena are often
attended by violent earthquakes which
sometimes raise the waves to a great
height, flooding the coast and sweep
ing away the tents of the natives.
This was the case during the recent
eruption.
The accounts that have been sent to
st. Petersburg of this eruption say
that more magnificent and awful
spectacle was probably never present
ed. Lava flowed in deep streams
down the sides of the mountains. The
streams looked like wide, molten riv-
ers. From assures in the earth nox-
1ous gases escaped, destroying animal
and vegetable life near the mountain.
Even fish were killed by thousands in
the neighboring streams.
The volcanic eruptions in Kamchat-
ka probably surpass those of any 9th
er part of the world in violence and
duration. An eruption mentioned by
Instrumentation lasted four years,
from 1927 to 1871, and that of 1897,
which was far more violent, dis
charged vast lava streams, melting the
glaciers and sweeping ayalanches Of
ice and water into the surrounding
valleys

Frank Kramer should have little
trouble in winning the bicycle cham
pionship again this season. He is one
of the best performers on the wheel
that this country has produced since
the days of the mighty Zimmerman.
He has shown bursts of speed in his
recent matches that have fairly as
tonished the onlookers. None of the
circuit riders at the present time
seems to be able to hold Kramer.
George Collett of New Haven, who
was the champions most formidable
opponent in his amateur days, is also
doing some good work on the wheel
and is winning a good second to Kra-
mer.

Melilotus Alba.

Press Bulletin 233, Ohio Station:
Animals do not eat sweet clover readi-
ly, but when confined to it they are
said to soon learn to relish 1t, ard it
is largely grown for forage and hay in
the southern states. 1t resembles al
falfa in appearance and HABITS :
growth, and like alfalfa must be cut
before full poisoning if it is desired
to make hay of it, otherwise the stems
become too hard and woody. Like al
falfa it will furnish two or three crops
of hay in season; but it differs from
alfalfa in being a biennial plant, SO
that 1t will disappear at the end of
The second season after seeding unless
permitted to re-seed itself.

Rugged Australian Fiebtars.

The fact that old Fitz comes from
Australia brings to notice a striking
feature about the fighters from the
antipodes. Comparison proves that
with few exceptions the Australian
boxers are far more rugged than the
Americans and last longer in the ring.
At least such are the conclusions that
must be drawn when we stop to CON
slider that nearly all the old-timers
in the ring to-day are from the land of
the kangaroo. Bob Fitzsimmons, Dan
Creedon, Joe Goddard, Frank Slavin,
Billy Murphy and several others, in
Guiding George Dawson and Young
Critic, can be taken as examples. Daw-
son, who is not much younger than
Fitz, may train him for his coming
fight. Critic was until a few months
ago fighting every week, but is now
down and out.
