"Tonsorialints,n AttentIoni

Some inventive genius has found a
new use for cool air, and the patrons
of a downtown barber shop are enjoy
ing the fruits of his discovery. The
invention is nothing less than the sup
plying of cool air to those who are in
the barber's chair, and during the heat
ed summer months BARRIERS chairs will
probably become well-patronized re-
sorts. The air is compressed into lit
tie tank by a small pump that is run
by q hydrant stream. From the tank
a pipe runs along the shelf on which
is kept the supply of tonsorial neces-
sites. In front of each chair a tap is
made, and from this runs flexible
tube to which is attached q small noz-
Zle that is controlled by pressure Of
the fingers and closes automatically
when the pressure is released. When
you are warm go to the barber shop
and you can keep yourself cool while
being shaved. Incidentally bottles,
with receptacles to fit the end OF tbe
nozzle, in which is kept the bay rum,
witch hazel, and other tonics, are used,
the air taking the place of the old bulb
arrangement to spray the tonic. In the
barber shop mentioned thu air Is
pumped from the ice house, and Is
mighty refreshing.-Pi Times.

VOLCANOES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Interesting Information in Report of G..

Interestinr Information in Report of G.
II. Becker of Geological survey.
Of interest in connection with the
recent volcanic eruptions in the West
Indies is the report of George f.
Becker on the geology of the Philip
pine islands, which has just appeared
in Part II of the 25th annual report
Of the United States geological sur
yey, and which contains a review or
everything bearing upon the geology
of these islands. The report deals in
general with the geologic and econ
omic features of the islands, from ex-
tant reports on the subject, and from
studies in the field, so far as they
could be carried on during the dis
turbed period of 1S9S-'99.
In many respects the Philippine
islands closely resemble the West
Indies. especially in being the scene
of violent past and present volcanic
energy. While it was possible to visit
few of these mountains, owing to the
hostility of the natives, much valuable
Information from local and other
sources was collected. Forty-nine of
the eruptive mountains were located
among the islands, and their attitudes
and the dates of their eruptions OBJ
tanned. Conspicuous among them is
Mt. Apo, the highest mountain the
Philippines, which rises 10,761 feet
above the level of the sea. At Cami-
guin de Mindanao, one of the most in
teresting volcanoes of the group,
cone nearly 1000 feet in height has
risen since 1871 over what was for
merly lake, the basin of which was
presumably an ancient crater. Mayon,
or The volcano of Albay, is said to be
the most symmetrically beautiful conc
in the world; and the famous Taal
volcano, situated on small volcanic
island in the lake of Bonbon, is read
lily accessible from Manila.
The accounts of the eruptions of
these and other volcanoes of the
group bear a striking resemblance
10 those of the recent outburst OF
Mt. Pelee in Martinique. OF an erup.
tion which occurred in the year 1641,
near Jolo, the report quotes: "The
darkness and atmospheric disturb
ance were so great that the people of
Jolo could not perceive whence came
the stuff which fell from heaven upon
them" And in one of the numerous
eruptions at Taal, loud detonations
like discharges of artillery were
heard, incandescent stones were
thrown out, and a great fire ran like
river across the island. The fire
then shifted into Lake Bonbon, throw.
ing up water and ashes in immense
masses. "The water grew hot and
black, fish were strewn on the beach
es as if they had been cooked, and
the air was so full of sulphurous
smells and the odor of dead fishes
that the inhabitants sicllened." At one
of the eruptions of Albay, that in
1914, 1900 lives are said to have been
fost.
In drawing comparisons between
the volcanoes of the Philippines and
those of the Dutch East indies, Mr..
Becker notes that "Papandayang, in
West Java had a great eruption in
1872, destroying 40 villages. Galung
Gung in 1922 destroyed ia villages,
and it is some measure of the VOL
ence of the Krakatoa explosion of
1888 that over $4,000 people per-
ished."

1t sent down 5000 feet a torrent of

1t is only within the last six or eight
years that the Massachusetts railroads
have suffered seriously from trolley
competition. Up to 1894 their rev.
was larger from their passenger bust.
ness than from their freight All this
has changed, states the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin, figures showing ar
excess in revenue from freight in 1901
of over S6,0000,000, while in 1894 the
excess in revenue from passengers
was $3,440,526. An encouragement to
the steam roads, however, is to be
found in figures showing that the elec.
trio street railway lines have steadily
been carrying fewer passengers per
mile since 1895, while the former have
recovered some of their previous losses
during the same time. 1t is now gen.
orally admitted that while the street
railways of Massachusetts made quite
considerable inroads into the business
of the steam lines when electricity
first became an important factor,
which has only been during the past
eight or nine years, it would seem that
the latter have proceeded to make
some recovery of lost patronage and
that the street railway has become
less rather than more threatening.

In recent report to his govern
ment embodying his conclusions rela
tive to American business methods.
the British consul at Chicago laid
much stress upon the comparatively
carly age at which a man in the
United States is relagated TO the ranks
of the superannuated. Inquiry and OBJ.
servation lead the consul to believe
that when a man reaches the age of
forty-five he has great difficulty in
finding employment in Chicago, and,
indeed, in any American city. This he
considers a grave defect in an other,
wise admirable business system. He
says: There are many men in good
positions over that age who will, in
all probability, retain them for some
years to come and then retire; but a
newcomer of that age has little
chance Of employment, as he cannot
expect to learn new ways. A man
who is out of work at that age is re,
garded with suspicion, especially when
trade is good, because il he had
proved that he was worthy OF his posi-.
tion--which should be a good one
after many years of service-he would
not have been forced out; or If he
had been, some other firm who had
como into contact with him in bust.
