1888, the volcano of Krakatoa burst
into activity, but the great explosion
did not come until Aug. 2G. Then
flames, which were visible at dis
lance of forty miles, shot from the
crater. The crashing explosion which
followed these flames set in motion
air waves that Travelled around the
earth four times one way and three
times the other. Every self-recording
barometer In the world was disturbed
seven times by that blow-up. These
waves Travelled at the rate Of 100 miles

AT Borneo, 1,116 miles distant, the
noise of this eruption was heard. The
shock was felt in Burmah, 1,47S miles
distant, and at Perth, West Australia,
1902 miles distant. The Krakatoa ex-
plosion was heard over sound zone
covering one-thirteenth Of the earth's

Indian Wore Glasses.

court stenographer who has spent con-
siderable time in a business way
among the descendants of the Ameri-

strange was my meeting here in WASH

glasses. In the course Of all my ex-

name Of this particular Indian has
something to do with his adopting
what is unquestionably vcry neces-

THE VERY FIRST TYPEWRITER.

Almost any big typewriter agency
has displayed, at one time or another,
some battered continuance which is de-
clared to be "the first typewriter"
1t is beyond doubt, however, that
this decrepit machine, invented by II.
I. ?. Allen. of Kentucky, 40 years
ago, and now in the United States
patent office, is the real original.
AS long ago as lila the British pat
ent office granted to Henry Mills, n
Londoner, papers patent for ian arti-
fetal writing machine" Mills machine
however, was too bulky and altogether
impracticable. Other typewriting
mechanisms followed, but until the AL
len invention was accomplished the
genuine typewriter did not come into
existence. Aliens machine really en-
bodied all the essential features of the
modern machine. Superintendent Gill,
of the patent office, vouches for the
priority of the invention here pictured.

When the ancient teacher charged the
people to ''despise not the day of small
things" he meant much that is not Or
dinarily grasped by readers of his max
inns. Many persons think that it is the
things themselves that are not to be
scorned, which is, in sense, very true.
for natural science as well rs abstract
philosophy teaches that there can be
nothing, however infinitesimal, that
has not its function and its proper
place. The small things, however,
which the sage probably had most in
view are not concrete at all, or, If con-
crete, are not those which in their best
uses are complete in themselves. A diff
ferent definition would circumscribe
too greatly the profound lesson that he
taught. Many small things go to make
up mighty whole. Many efforts so to
make up wonderful achievement.

EuRoPE's SMALL FIRE LOSS.

One-Tenth of What 1t Is Hcrc-Build-
ings Arc Almost Fircproof.
Losses by fire in European cities are
less than one-tenth of those in the cities
here, though in Europe the fire depart
men.1 except in one or two instances,
.bst insignificant and on casual
survey wholly inadequate.
With population of 100000, Paris
for years has had fire loss less than
Boston's. Budapest, with n larger pop
ulation than Boston, lost less than one
tenth the amount last year that the
Massachusetts capital did.
Milan, with half million inhabit-
ants, loses on the average only $150,OOO
a year, and the total damage by fire in
Venice, where 100000 people live, was
only about $4,000. London's loss is
only about one-fifth that of New Yoik.
1t is not that the fire departments are
so very erlicient in any of these Euro
pean cities, but because the buildings
are planned on lines which render them
practically tire-proof. Wood plays some
part in the construction of houses, but
brick and stone surround it Invariably,
and experience has shown that elabor-
ate fire fighting forces are unnecessary.

MAY BURN FOR AGES.

Like Vcsuvius, Mt. Pelcc May Con-
Time to Eclch Forth Fire.
Some people are OF the opinion that
Mont Pelee will cool of rapidly and
again become quiescent, but the best
judges believe that it will go on throw
ing off fire and lava for long time.
While the violence of the first eruption
will, 1t is thought, subside, the mount

is stated as likely to continue in active
eruption for months, possibly for cen

Sometimes it subsidies until nothing
but thin cloud of smoke surrounds

period of 131 years, between 1900
and 1851, it has never been quite dead

mountain Of which there is any au-

from New York and from Europe. Seis-
mic experts and biologists, with col

seen. Every literary work Of value,
no matter how quickly 1t may have
been dashed off in the heat of final pro
duction, is a result of many things,
many thoughts and impulses, and is
not an independent act. One evil fruit
OF romanticism, which ran riot In lit
erature in the early half of the last
century, was the notion that genius is
heaven-born gift which by itself can
achieve all that is achievable. 1t has
been discovered over again, if the
phraseology may be allowed that gen
ius Is the power of utilizing to the best
advantage the many small things that
go to make up a great whole. Genius
itself Is n product of cumulative prod
ucts. The teacher meant that the day
In which time could be found for only
small efforts towards cherished OBJ
Ject was not to be despised. Every
really great man knows how much he
owes to the perseverance with which
he sought to make gradual advances
towards his chief aim, when long, com
polling strides were impossible. The
weak soul, in such case, would have
faltered, delayed, probably given up,
or dilly-dallied until it would have been
too late to go on. Wherein genius
sometimes consists is the sense of pow
or to command the best that little
things and earnest though often inter-
rupted efforts can afford. A few min
utes day devoted to a.special study
may make one the best qualified in it
OF any. No person with any claim to
culture should let day slip by with
cut ut least an hour Of study or serious
reading. The day of little things be-
comes the day of great things in the
long perspective of time and action.

ISLAND OF MARTINIQUE,
Desolated by Slave Wars, Earthquak

Desolatcd by Slave Wars, EARTHQUAKES
and Volcanic Eruptions.
The island of Martinique, the scene
of one OF tie most awful catastrophes
known in human annals, was discov-
cred by Columbus on his fourth voy-
age, in 1902. and still bears the name,
slightly modified. which its Carib ma
tives then called it. In 1850 the French
began to colonize it and the same year
the city of st. Pierre was founded. Its
early growth was rapid. form 1867 we
find that it had n population of 5,OO0
exclusive of the aborigines. Early in
the 18th century slatnrlabor was intro
duced on the coffee and sugar planta-
tons and by 1876 there Were 1900 ne
groes on the island On four different
occasions during the wars between En-
gland and France the island was seized
by the British, being finally restored to
France by the treaty of Paris In 1914.
In 1922 and again in 1888 and 1889 the
island was distracted by uprisings
among the negro slaves; but the aboli-
ton Of slavery, in 1878, forever put an
end to these disturbances.
The negroes rapidly increased and mt
the time of the last census they num-
bercd 100000 out Of a total population
of 10000. OF the remainder $4,000
.v--e Asiatics and 10000 pure whites.
Martinique, which has an area of $50
square miles, is a beautiful island. 1t
has. however, its drawbacks Among
the latter are the deadly snake, the fer
defiance, the spider, the ant, the trop-
ical plaques, the hurricane, the Garth
quake and volcano. SO active have
been the earthquake and volcano in an
Gent times that the very island is COM
posed almost entirely of volcanic ma
terial. In modern times seismic dis
turbances have been numerous. In 1927
the island was shaken by an earth
quake and in 1867 another seismic con-
,ulsion is said to have caused the
deaths of 10000 people In 17T2 the
islands Notifications were thrown
down by an earthquake.
The most serious volcanic eruptions
