Hairdressing In japan.

Hairdressing is an elaborate study
in Japan, where the style of the Golf
fure generally indicates the position
and age of the lady. Thus girls Of
eight or nine wear their hair in bow
at the back bound round with red Grape,
the front left bare except for two locks
dangling at the side, and the mar
riageable damsels comb their tresses
high in front and arrange them Ell
Their in the shape of butterfly or a
half opened fan. A widow looking out
for second spouse twists her locks
round a long shell hairpin placed hori-
zontaily across the back Of the head,
while she who VOWS TO remain faithful
TO the de- departed cuts her hair
short and combs it plainly back with.

There is no question of doubt that the en- tire mass. rising to twice the height of the Washington Monument at Washington, with four times its thickness. Is being pushed up bodily. and has been pushed out in this manner to it's full present height.
 The volcanic stress that has lifted it is the same which in other volcanoes elects flowing lava. but in this particular instance the molten matter within the vol cano has hardened before it has left the lip of the crater. and comes out as a united solid. Hence, the lava instead of overfiowing simply mounts up higher and higher into space.
 ITO what extent this head may still be carried in the future 1t is impossible to say The aspect that is now presented is one that is unique in the history of vol canoes, and 1t itself will tell in weeks or months to come what the possibilities of this new form of construction or new type of activity may me.
 This vast obelsk, which gives the ap- pearance as seen from St. Pierre of a mon- ument erected by nature to the dead is slightly arched or curved in the direction of the destroyed city On the opposite side it arises with a well-nigh vertical face and presents a perfectly smooth. almost polished surface, made so and grooved as the result of hard pressure against the casing of the wall of rock which borders its channel of exit. The surface indeed recalls to the geologist the appearance of horizontal rock masses that have been polished and curved as the result of gla- cial action
 ''On May 31. when the volcano lost nearly POO feet of its summit, the apex reached the 5,2OO foot At the present time 1t rises slightly above 5000 feet. On the four days preceding June r, the rise of the tower was 21 feet, but in the early period the extrusion was nearly twice as rapid. On the day preceding my depart ure a faint line of steam was seen issu- ing from the absolute apex, showing the tissues and passages that exist within the mass which permit the interior steam to travel through completely from the base to the summit"

MONT PELEE's oBEL1sK.
A Tower of Rock Pushed 1000 Feet
 Above the Cone.

AD0V0 the OOuSs
 Philadelphia Press.
 Fresh from what he terms the most won derful spectacle nature has ever present ed. Prof. Angelo Teilpern Is back in Phil adelphia after a two months visit to Mont Pelee on the Island of Martinique.
 ''The distinguishing feature of Mont Pe- lee," he says, and that which makes this volcano unique among the volcanoes of the world Is the giant tower or obelisk of rock which is being extruded from the summit of the newly-made cone, which obelisk now rises up in supreme grandeur over 5000 feet high and almost vertically $40 feet above the summit of the cone proper, with a thickness at the base of from 800 to $50 feet.
 Looking at this obelisk of solid lava from the rim of the crater as 1 did at the time of my latest ascent of the volcano on June 13. the scene that presented itself was of unequaled grandeur. and having fully in mind the grand scenes of nature that I have already witnessed, the Alps, the Grand Canon of the Colorado, the Yosemite and the great ice fields of the Arctic North, it seems to be well within the truth to say that this scene surpasses all others.
 One can form no conception of it's mag nihcence and terrorizing aspect. The old summit of Mont Pelee, which was rounded at about 40OO feet high, is now overtopped by this new creation by nearly 1000 feet. so that the apex of the volcano. which surpasses the old dome. is found at a height of 5.2GO feet above the sea. and the cone, together with its surmounted basin of about 300 feet depth, over which great purfs of steam and sulphur vapor are be- ing emitted. showing that the activity of the volcano is not yet still
 "The appearance of this obelisk or mon ument on the summit of the volcano. transhxing its cone and virtually block ing it. is no less remarkable than the con- ditions which are involved in it's making.
