The krakatoa Island Landslide.

Probably the most remarkable terres-
trial eruption within historic times was
Tie eApluaIua OF tne volcanic island of
kraka toai, in. August. 1883. According to
the account Of this given by Professor
Davis, OF Harvard, in his new book
Elementary Physical Geography" the
sounds We're heard for 1000 miles, and
the waves produced in the atmosphere
passed three times around the earth.
In this explosion half the island was
destroyed, leaving water more than 1000
feet deep where high land had stood be-
fore. The air was shaken so vigorously
by the explosion that windows were
broken a hundred miles away. Huge
sea waves rolled away from the exploded
island causing great destruction on
neighborng coasts. Pumice, or light
spongy lava. formed a floating layer on
Thu, sea surface. obsructing the course
of vessels. The dust blown out of the
volcano darkened the air for hundreds
of miles around. AS the dust was spread
far and wide by the upper atmospheric
currents. it increased the hrlliancy of
sunset and sunrise colors. The famous
red sunsets thus produced We're visible
in all parts OF the world before the emo
Of 1888: then. as the dust settled. their
brilliancy gradually decreased.

In peace they sleep-the brave Unknown
Beneath the verdant sod.
Above them bends the azure zone
The starlit arch of God:
They came not back who went 10 war,
Those heroes brave and true;
They fell beneath the Southern star
Before the ranks in blue.
4 mother signs, a sister yearns
And weeps the weary day
And wonder why no more returns
The boy who marched in gray;
Where are the boys whose hearts beat
high
Beneath the cedar tree
Who saw against the azure fly
The Iaureled flags OF Lee?
For them no drums of battle beat
Advance or overthrow,
For them no bugle sounds retreat.
No dreams of midnight foe.
But flowers fall their breasts upon
From fair and loving hands:
on guard DER them at set of sun
\ sculptured sentry stands
Eight hundred in one common grave
On fair Eirginias heath.
In battle they were comrades brave,
They're comrades still in death;
Around them through the gentle pines
The winds of summer blow,
The same that through their tented INES
Blew softly long ago
Their sabers will not clank again,
Their bayonets no more shine;
For them across the suniit plain
Stretches no martial line:
For them her bloom sweet Nature yields
Upon their dewy bed,
And summer rots her dewy bed,
To crown the Unknown Dead
Around them lies a spectral camp,
At night how dark and still.
It's sentries have a ghostly tramp
Upon the silent hill;
No musket shot rings loudly out,
No challenge stirs une air.

Tribute to General Sam Davis.

to General Sam Davis to whom a SPLEEN
did monument is TO be erected on Capt.

When the Lord calls up earth's heroes
To stand before His face.
O. many q name unknown to fame
Shalt ring from that high place.
And out of a grave in the Southland.
At the Just God S call and beck.
Shall one man rise with fearies eyes,
And a rope about his neck
For men have swung from sallows :
Whose souls were white as snow
Not how they die nor where. but why,
Is what Gods records show
And on that mighty ledger
Is writ Sam Davis name
For honors sake he would not make
a compromise with shame.
The great world lay before him.
For ne was in his youth.
With love of life young hearts are rife,
But better he loved truth
He fought for his convictions.
And when he stood at bay
He would not finch or stir one inch
From honor's narrow way.
They offered life and freedom
If he would speak the word:
In silent pride he sazed aside
AS one who had not heard.
They argued, pleaded, threatened
It was but wasted breath.
'.I-et come what must. I keep my trust
He said, and laughed at death
He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope:
Where kings drag down name and
crown
He dignified a rope
All grave, where was your triumph?
An. death: where was your sting?
He showed you how man could bow
To doom and stay Il king.

Because they are like him.
