situated on lines OF weakness In the
earth's crust. where great assures had
allowed OF the escape Of the pent-up
forces from within.
Another remarkable feature in con-
nection with volcanoes is that proxim-
ity TO the great ocean basins. All the
continental volcanoes lie along the
coast line, and the itlandio ones are OF
course situated In the midst Of water.
This relation Of volcanoes 10 the sea Ia
very suggestive when we remember
that the explosive violence OF a volcanic
eruption Is due to the escape Of highly
heated steam; In fact. in a sense, q

plentiful along certain tracts than else
where, the remains Of ancient volcanoes
are to be found. Some of these, judg-
ing by their probable size. must have
been the seat Of volcanic activity In
comparison with which those OF the
historic period sink into insignihcance.
THE WORLDS VALCANIC CONES.
One of the most terrible of volcanic
outbursts that has occurred within the
historical period Is that of a volcanic
cone called papandayang, In Java,in the
year l772 This cone. before the erup-
ton. was 90O0 feet in height, and dur
Ing a single night so violent was the
outburst that its top was blown away
and its height reduced to 5,oee feet. The
ashes and lava which were discharged
from It fell upon the country for many
miles around and buried no less than
40 villages An approximate estimate
showed that during the course OF a sim
gle night something like 10000 600 600
cubic feet OF materials were discharged
from It's vent.

cones which are still active, or were

calamity that has stricken Martinique.
IL is interesting to note thar this island,
together with Cuba. Hayi, Guadeloupe,
Jamaica, st Vincent, Trinidad and ST.
Lucia lie on line Of volcanic activity

thence stretches eastward through this

the most eastern Of the group.
The other great line Of volcanic ac-
tiyity stretches from Iceland through
the Azores, the Canary Islands, the
Cape Verde Islands, Ascension aud st,

regions. The line which contains the
greatest number Of active volcanoes

AN INHERITANCE TAX.

Attorney Roderick n. Mats"n, one OF
the new members of the Legislature
from Laramie county, favors an lnheri-
lance tax for the state of Wyoming. Mr..
Matson's native state is New York,
where the inheritance tax has worked
very successfully for a number of
years. The Republican believes this
would be a wise and We should
have it before our estates become
large. 1t will be received at the pres
ent time with good grace
In the state OF New York every trans
fer of property of the value of five
or under the intstate laws, or by gift
made in contemplation of death. or to
take effect after death, is taxed for the
benefit of the state government at the
rate Of five per cent. In case the prop
erty passes tc a parent, husband. wife.
child, brother, sister. wife or widow
of a son or husband of a daughter. or
child adopted in conformity with the
laws OF e lOTk, OF CIllu W Nibll
the decedent has stood in the mutually
acknowledged relation of parent for at
least ten years, or to any lineal de
scendant of the d%ecedert, the transfer
thereof is exempt from this a unless
i! be a transfer Of personal property Of
at least ten thousand dollars value,
and then the tax is at the rate of one
per cent only.
Some years ago, in an able article
il. the North American Review. Mr.. An
drew Carnegie took the ground that it
was a detriment to a child to inherit
a large fortune and that it should be
provided by law that all large estates
above a moderate sum should pass to
the states for the benefit of the people.
Mr.. Matson's bill will not be as far
reaching as suggested by Mr.. Carnegie.
but will doubtless be a little stronger
than the New York law.
