DISAPPEARING ISLANDS.
Volcanic Activity the Cause of Many
 Deep Sea Phenomena.

Submarine volcanoes are the cause of many deep sea phenome- na. Among the most curious of these are islands that come and stay awhile, then vanish in night as completely as though the earth had swallowed them-or the sea, which is really the hungry nav which opens up to gorge itself upon these lost 4Atlantises.
 In 1881 an island which received the baptismal name of Julia ap- peared off the south coast of Sic fly. After an earthly existence of just two months it was again re- ceived into the deep which had given and then taken away. SOundings which were taken at the spot showed depth of 50 me- ters.
 An island called Sabrina ap- peared in 1911 near the Azores and then disappeared the same year. Here the depth sounded after ward was very great, an enormous Assure being traceable, having d depth of at least $500 meters. These eruptions generally occur in shallow water.
 The Island Georgios, in the ar chipelago of Santorin, is a com paratiye infant in land annals. having made it's appearance so late as 1866. About two years ago, in September, 1901, the tiny island of Bermuja, in the south ern waters of the Gulf of Mexico. suddenly disappeared.
 A well-known French hydro grapher, NJ. Thonlet, says there are two zones of volcanic activity the terrestrial one, running through Central America, Mexico. the Antllles, the south of Spain, Santorin, the Red sea and the Per. sian gulf, to the Malay archipela. go; while the marine volcanic zone traverses the Atlantic near Tristan d'Acunha, St. Helena Ascension, the Canaries, the Azores and Madeira.

ELEPHANT WITH GRIPPE.
Huge Mustard Plasters and Big Dose
 of Ouinins Saved Her.


 Queen Jumbo was a very large elephant, one of the attractions Of Golden Gate park, ill San Fran cisco, and quite pet. So there was considerable consternatlon one day when it was discovered that Queen had the "thumps."
 When child suffers from chills, and then becomes feverei and has lung trouble, it is] only pneumonia, but when. elephants suffer in the same way the trouble is 'sthumps."
 Queens huge bulk shivered and shook, and she whined Complain ingly until her keeper began to give her medicine. The first dose was two gallons of whisky with five ounces of quinine, and he had much trouble in getting Queen to take it. The dose did little good, and Queen grew worse until "thumps" were plainly to be de tected.
 Then it was a case of life and death, and the keeper set to work in a hurry. He built big fire in the elephant house and hung | blankets close to it until they were very hot, and then wrapped them around Queen.
 Another man put.ten pounds of strong English mustard into q half barrel and mixed it with wa ter, like any other mustard plas ter is made. The mustard was then smeared on cloth, and the mustard plaster applied to Queens sides.
 Soon her ladyship showed signs of uneasiness. She felt along hei sides with her trunk, stepped about constantly and seemed to wonder what was the matter. As the mustard took hold more SC verely, Queen tried to tear away the bandages, and when prevent ed by her keeper from doing so she began screaming like a steam whistle.
 The plasters were left in posi- tion for three hours, and then re moved, and Queen was agair wrapped in hot blankets and dosec with whisky and quinine. After awhile she began to perspire, as elephants always do, through tht trunk, and her keeper knew tha1 she was saved.

CAREERS OF OUR NoTABLEs.
Shows How the College Athlete Fares
 in Practical Life.

in Practical Life.
 What is the value of cOllegg athletic honors in winning dis tinction in life?
 To put the question in another way: What sort of college career has turned out the greatest mum Der of notable men?
 The answer to this question, says the New York World has been figured out by a clever statisticiaA and is curiosity. All the men in America who have achieved pre- fessional or commercial distinc- tion are represented by a para graph or two of biography in "Who's Who in America"
 From the information contained in this book it has been found that men who took honors in spe- cial subjects at college number one in five of American notables, while men who were among the first sev- enth .inethe general courses rep resent only one in seven. In factt the proportion among the men with special honors is nearly equal to that of the first four scholars, although there are five times as many special honor men turned out.
 A man who graduates from col lege with highest honors in spe- cial subject, according to the sta- tistics, has an extraordt4arily good chance of making his mark in tbef world. Either such :a course is a better preparation for career or a better test of ability than the general course.
 On the other hand, the record Of the college athlete who is always such a conspicuous figure at col lege, shows that he attains high place ill after life but seldom com pared with the successful scholar. The chance of distinction for members of the rowing crew is no better than the average student, though there is rather better chance for their captains.
 But the chances for the baseball and football men are lower still, according to the records of the past. They seldom receive high places in scholarship and more seldom still appear in s.Who,s Who"

At the prison of St. Paul, at Ly- ons, there is a curious collection of pens. They are the pens with which the executioners have signed the regulation receipts for the prisoners handed over to them to be guillotined.

THE wINDIEST CITY.
There Are Four Cities That Are
 Breezier Than Chicago.


 Chicago is supposed to be the windiest city in the country" said an observant man, according to the New Orleans Times Democrat, "but it depends on how you mean it, as to whether it is or not. Windy is a broad word. Some times it does not mean simply matter of weather. Men are windy now and then, and, if you don't believe it, I would like to introduce you to some friends of mine. But l was thinking about a statement l found in Chicago paper recently. Taking the year 1898 on the wind proposition, it says: Tn New York the highest velocity for the month of January was 61.14 miles per hour; Feb ruary, 4S.13; March, 33.11; No vember, 65.1S; December, 78.17; highest for the year, 78.17. The figures for Buffalo in 1898 were: Highest for January, 68 miles per hour; February, AS; March 60; No vember, 6S; December, 6S; highest for the year, GS. In Chicago the highest for January, 1898, was 66.1S miles per hour; February, 4S.19; March, 62.18; November. 76.21; December, 47.2O; highest for the year, 76.21. But it appears that 1898 was an unusually windy year in Chicago.
 "In 1899 the figures for New York were: Highest for January, 66.15; February, 64.17; March, S0.19; November, 56.13; Decem- Der, GAIT; highest for the year, SO.19. Buffalo: Highest for Jan uary, 72.20; February, 6O.16; March, 66.17; November, ALB; December, 64.20; highest for the year, 72.2O. Chicago: Highest for January, 52.2O; February, 4S.1S; March, 58.1S; November, 48.17; December, 56.1S; highest for the year, 60. Figures for other years show that Chicago is some times ahead of Buffalo and New York, but more often below them in the matter of wind velocity. A table of wind figures compiled by Prof. Willis l.. Moore, of the Unit ed States weather department, shows that the average hourly ye- locity of the wind at various sta tions and covering a number of years is as follows: Boston, ii miles; Buffalo, II; Cleveland, 9; New York, 9; Philadelphia, 10; St. Louis, II; Chicago, 9.
 Here it is seen that, taking the year round, St. Louis, Buffalo. Boston and Philadelphia are windier than Chicago, while this city, New York and Cleveland have an even thing of it as far as breeziness is concerned. The high est velocity ever reported at Buff falo was 90 miles an hour, at New York 80, at St. Louis 80, and at Chicago 84. At North Platte, Neb., velocity of 96 miles an hour has been reported. 1t is worthy of mention that Chicago's highest winds do not blow from the water, as they do in Buffalo, and are
