VOLCANO IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Stories Regarding Mine Mountain in
Wantastiquet Range.

The terrible devastation and loss
of life by volcanic eruptions is an all.
absorbing theme just at present. and
the possibility of like calamity in
other ATTITUDES is freely discussed by
scientists. If, as Virgil says. I'VE may
compare small things with great"
there are some grounds fcr the belief
that we have an extinct volcano right
here at home. In footnote to a Sec
ton on volcanoes, in one of the edi-
tons OF Lyell's geology, which was a
standard text book in the colleges and
academies half a century ago, 1t is
stated that Mine mountain in Hins-
dale, N. H., is the only locality in the
United States where are found traces
OF ancient volcanic eruptions. OF
course the researches of geologists
since have been fruitful in the dis
covery of like traces in other local.
ties, especially in the far west, but for
long time Mine mountain, the high
est leak in the Wantastiquet range,
that extends from the Connecticut
river across North Hinsdale, was alone.
in the rather doubtful honor Of being
an extinct volcano. There was a.
singular unaminity among the old peo-
pie of former generation in Hins-
dale, most of whom are now dead. in
describing a remarkable circumstance,
that happened somewhere about the.
year 1900. AS they told the story, one
summer afternoon there was a terrific
explosion, followed by a rumbling
sound, in the region of Mine noun
tain a cloud of smoke poured forth.
dense and black. Not only men and
women, but even animals were fright
ened by the noise, which was heard at
DUNN Vt, and other places
and the whole country round about
which had a peculiar odor An inn
mense amount of yellow ochre was
thrown out from the interior of the
mountain and scattered all about even
to it's base, andit is said that the first
idea of digging for gold and silver
came out of this incident, and it is
certain that the project Of mine was
started soon after by an Englishman
by the name of Hall, who formed
stock company and built house down
below the point of excavation It is
matter OF record that the mine had
been excavated prior to 1905, but the
search for gold and silver was fruit
less, and yellow ochre only rewarded
the search. For long time afterward
most of the houses in that region
were painted with yellow ochre. and
the old town hall at Chesterfield had
a coat of the same material. It is not
that the highest peak of
Wantastiquet has some secrets hid
den away in the bowels of the earth
that may yet become evident to future
generations.

DEBORAH, Iowa, May 24-The dam
age by the flood of Thursday night ex-
ceeds 100000. Large sections of the
Milwaukee track and most bridges in
this vicinity are gone. About 80 res
licences are damaged. One family was
carried three blocks in it's home and
escaped by cutting a hole in the roof
and climbing into the second story of
another dwelling against which their
house had lodged. John Carver died
from heart disease while trying to re-
gain entrance to his house. and the
3-year-old child of Charles Clark was
swept from it's mothers arms when
she was carried from her feet by the
water
During the storm a fire started in
building where lime was stored and
threatened the yards with destruction.
The firemen worked in water running
to their waists and saved the adjacent
property. The Burlington railways
roundhouse was badly damaged
La Crosse, Wis, May 24-George
w. Kidder. travelling salesman, re-
turned from DEBORAH, Iowa, yesterday
and says the storm was the worst in
the history of that town. Three lives
were lost and many had narrow es-
capes. The water came in a rush,
there having been cloudburst a few
miles north. DEBORAH is located in
valley and the water rushed onto the
town at terrific speed. Kidder says
scores of fine residences were washed
from their foundations and carried
several reds away. Railroads were
washed out for seven or eight miles in
all directions. Telegraphic and tele-
phone communication was entirely cut
off.

UNHEALTHY CITIES.

The causes Of a given number OF
deaths differ considerably between
cities in the United States. If we
look for typical places in different
sections of the country, each having
had in 1900 about the same number of
deaths, we shall find Allegheny, Pa,
with 1855 deaths; Atlanta, Ga, with
1887, and Denver with 2,484. Com
pairing the causes of deaths in these
three cities we find Allegheny to

The Effect of Diet on Strenuti,

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried a weight
OF armor and freight that would crush
the average ranch hand, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
they were temperate in diet and
regular and constant in exercise. The
Spanish peasant works every day anc
half the night, yet eats only black
breau, onion and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter eats a little fruit and
sour olives, yet he walks off with ?
load OF loo pounds. The coolie, led
on rice, is more active, and can en-
dure more than the negro fed on
sowbeliy or other fat meat.-Ex-

The result of the election two weeks ago
to-day seems to have been lost upon a class
of tariff agitators who are, as far as they
know themselves, hostile to protection and
in favor of free trade. In two weeks they
have forgotten that the people of the
United S~tates-that is, the part of them
that hold elections and vote-have declared
for continuance of the policy OF protection,
and have recommended their nagging about
revision OF the tariff. They do not do
this because they have wrought out a sys-
TEN OF tariff schedules, but because the
best markets in the world. which is fight
ing for markets. are not thrown open to all
competitors. They cannot or will not see
that the present extended period of pros
perity is due to the constant employment of
the Industrial millions. which makes them
the largest consumers OF the necessaries
and the luxuries of life in the world. Some
of them deprecate a prosperity which has
increased the cost OF living without an in
crease of wages in a corresponding
degree. AS editors they do not read
enough of the news published in their
own papers to know that not only have
wages increased. but that the full employ
ment of the people. when not over two
thirds were employed in lS9i-97. has given
the wage-earning and other producing
classes a vastly greater fund with which TO
purchase than they enjoyed seven years
ago.
Each one OF these tarif-trouble editors
has a pet grievance OF his own. One OF
them has not yet learned that the high

repeal of the duty on beef will make beef
as cheap when steers are selling at 81 to s.
a hundred as when they were selling at
81 to Sc. Another is ~fretting about the tin
plate monopoly, ignoring the fact that the
manufacturers recently announced a 20
per cent. cut In prices after Dec. 1. An
other reminds the Republicans in Congress
that the Massachusetts, Republican conven-
ton declared for free hides. coal and iron.
