What Science Does NotKnowAboutVo Volcanoes

long as they have the visible physical
aspects OF smoke and ashes then why not
call them so7
Concerning volcanoes and volcanic ac-
ton there Is vast amount to be learned,
and the honorable scientific man will al
ways frankly say 81 do not know" when
confronted with many of the queries
propounded to him.
1t Is generally presumed that the cause
of volcanic action Is the meeting of wa
ter with the hot magma below the imme-
diate surface of the earth, causing explo-
sions whereby vents are opeffed through
which the hot magma forces Its way to
the surface through Its power of ex-
pansion. But the naure of that great I'M
explored magma of the earth's interior
is today one of the profoundest and least
solved problems concerning our globe,
and 1t is not within human power to
predict what the future productions of
magma will be.
The scientific man just now is con-
fronted with the question of sympathetic
volcanic outbreaks at widely distant
points. but he can no MORE explain this
mysterious coincidence than can the
youngest born child In Its cradle. Weak
in his knowledge of the birth OF volcan-
oes, deficient In sufficient data concern
ing their habits and dction. 1t Is utterly
impossible for him to prognosticate with
certainty their future behavior.
The object of every scientific man who
recently visited Martinique and st. Vim
cent was to coiiect data whereby he
could derive some knowledge of the laws
of the phenomena, and yet they were
obliged to depend for their Information
largely upon the testimony of eyewit-
nesses who had never seen scientific
book. These volcanoes presented many

Hints for Hot Weather.

From the New York Herald.
At this season when the appearance of
tho hot wave Is to be expected at any
time, the prostrations which are liable to
follow in its wake will remind all within
reach of its baneful influences of the
necessity of certain precautionary meas
ures that may tend to lessen afflict,on
and suffering. and possibly prevent act
ual death. Since with the majority of
our people 1t Is impossible to take adj
vantage of cool breezes elsewhere there
are wisdom and philosophy in making
the most of the forced and inevitable
condition of discomforting and threaten
ing environments. The only thing left is
for each one to best prepare himself to
resist such influences of heat and hui
mildly as of themselves cannot be al
tered or escaped.
The questions OF comparative safety
against sunstroke and heat exhaustion
resolve themselves into avoidance of I'M
due exposure to direct solar rays, alb
stinenece from alcoholic stimulation, the
use of plain food and the wearing of
proper clothing. 1t is well known that
the victims of exhaustion are those that
defy these rules. The man who lives
moderately avoiding all excuses, is the
enc no usually escapes.
1t stands to reason that the working man
must be properly nourished but 1t is also
hearty feed In summer as in the colder
months. Even for him meat is not nee
eseary more than once a day. He and
every other toiler can obtain all the
extra sustenance from cereals, eggs.

day meal should be the substantial one.
with light breakfast and supper. II
q stimulant is needed, a cup of coffee
will answer all purposes, and there is no
healthy thirst that plain cool water cam
not assuage. Besides this. the latter helps
all the eliminative processes of kidneys
and skin, and thus contributes to the
necessary equilibrium Of natural body
temperature. The exact contrary is the
case when malt or spirtuous liquors
are imbibed, as thus depuration are posi-
lively hindered rather than judiciously
assisted. This fact is well proven by the
number CT intoxicated persons who are
such common victims to heat and apo
pltxy.

phenomena hstksfto unobserved and 1t
will require nfHseths of careful study and
deduction before the cause of the out
break can be stated with any degree OF
certainty, This being the case how can
one predict what their future will be?
1t has been published In the papers
that vast tidal waves were to be expect
ed: that some of the islands were in
danger OF presenting more serious out
breaks than Pelee; that the present erup-
tions may be forerunners of approaching
cataclysms which would anihilate the
island The writer must confess that he
cannot see one ground for such prophe-
cies and that In the history of these is
lands which Aave been built up to their
present great heights by the election OF
debris such accompanied the present ex-
plosion there is nothing to create such
fears The vents of Pelee and St Vim
cent are the same which were opened
before Columbus came and from which
time and again similar eruptions to
those of the present have come. The
wounds are open and BEAUTIFULLY sup
purating; why, then, should we predict
that the patient will die?
While these facts are true let not the
work of the true scientific man be for
gotten or held up to ridicule. Every fact
properly observed and recorded is a con-
tribution to the sum of knowledge which
constitutes what we call civilization, and
the man who by devoting his life to the
collection and Interpretation of these
data-often at the sacrifice of the hui
manities of life, through narrow special
ization-deserves only the greatest as
sistance, sympathy and support. even
though his speciality Is some subject so
small and obtuse that none but himself
can comprehend 1t.

The Senator Who Sings.
he Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is said that Senator Clark, the
copper king senator, is very fond Of
singing. He has a mild parlor tenor,
and people who have heard 1t say
they like 1t. Whd he MARBLES, II
am dreaming, ever dreaming as the
night wind croons its lay" 1t is
claimed that his hearers even go SO
far as to murmur isn't 1t sweet" and
What an exquisite method"
It's the same way, too, when he
throws back his head and tackles
"She left me In the cleaning when
the summer nights were young" with
a neat little cadenza on the "gloam-
ing" and sostenuto trill on the
young"
And yet 1t can scarcely be admitted
that the tuneful senator has put his
talents to an honest test. Let him
disguise himself, and, casting his mil
lions behind him, go troubadouring
where he isn't known. Then he'll
soon find out just where he stands as
vocalist and entertainer.

particles which ascend from a volcano
are smoke-like In their appearance, while
long before treatises had been written
concerning them the clouds of volcanic
dust had been called ashes. There are
