MUD voLANcoEs.
Strange Formation Of Con ical Mounds
In Some Parts of the Old
World.

Mud volcanoes are found in north
ern Italy near Modena. in Sicily near
Girgenti, on the shores Of the Sea of
Azof and the Caspian. in Central
America. and in other parts of the
globe. The gas frequently escapes
from them with such violence that
mud is thrown into the air to the
height Of several hundred feet. Some
times this gas is innammable, consist
ing Of .sulphurated hydrogen. hydro
gen. or some hydrocarbons. and these
gases occasionally take fre, 50 that
true flames issue from these mud vol.
canoes, says Mines and Minerals. In
other cases. the mud volcanoes appear
to be formed by either hot or cold
springs. containing large quantities Of
suspended materials. and the liquid
mud issues from the vent without any
violent eruptive action.
Prof. Bunsen. In his account Of the
pseudo-volcanic phenomena Of Iceland.
describes many valleys where sui
phurous and aqueous vapors burst
forth with Kissing sound from the
hot soil formed OF volcanic tufY. In
such spots . pool Of boiling water is
seen. in which = bluish-black argyll
laceous paste issues in huge bubbles.
These bubbles. on bursting, throw the
boiling mud to a height Of Is feet and
upward, 50 that 1t accumulates In
lodges around the crater and base Of
the spring.
The formation of . new mud vol
cano was witnessed. according to
Lyell, on November n. 1927. at Tok-
mali, on the peninsula Of Abscheron.

Near Girgenti, in Sicily, are several
conical mounds 10 tn 80 feet high, with
small craters At their SUBMITS. from

Years Tobacco Bill in America.

The trust has gone into the
manufacture of cigars. 1t has
been in business less than two
years and during the past IL
months it produced about a
billion cigars. AS the total
production of the country is
approximately seven billions
this represents a very fair
amount of business for an in
faut concern. This has been a
period of remarkable expansion
in the cigar trade, however, and
the production of the American
Cigar Company represents just
about the increase for the year,
so that the new enterprise has
not interfered seriously with
the independent manufacturers.
The enormous extent of the to.
| bacco business In America may
be realized from the fact that
seven billion cigars, three bill.
ion cigarettes, and two hun
dred and eighty million pounds
of manufactured tobacco and
fifteen million pounds of snuff
are produced every year. The
retail value of all the smoking
and chewing tobacco IN its vari'
Gus forms, approaches $500, 600,
600 annually. 1t is indeed a
business OF royal proportions,
and it's control is worth fight
ing for. From the Tobacco
War in Lesley's Monthly fol

Johnson slowly recovered; the days
passed, and the weeks. while he lin.
gered weak and complaining. Dolores
presence annoyed him, and drove him
to fits of temper, until DIR. Dunwiddie
advised her to remain away from him
as much as possible.
DR.. Dunwiddie regularly drove over
to see Johnson once a week, and Mrs
Allen remained in the low, unpainted
house in the miost of its desolate gar
den, filling the rooms with her pres.
ence, but daily growing more hardened
toward the quiet girl who was winning
Dora's affection away from her, she
told herself, in excuse for her un,
friendly feeling, but the girl herself,
buried in other thoughts, believed it
was from the kindness of her heart
that she talked to her so often during
the long evenings of the life outside
of the quiet settlement and of the man.
ners she would there be expected to
copy, and she accepted in silence the
many words of advice as to her lack
of pride in allowing young Green to
see go clearly her feelings toward him,
and the cautioning uttered with q.
kindly smile or soft touch on her arm
against allowing herself to be so in
fluenced by almost an utter stranger
who was kind to her only out of pity,
and who could never care for her
other than as the merest acquaintance
she, the daughter of the blacksmith
who was waited for to prove the malice
in the laming of his mare.
The woman knew well the stories
adrift in the settlement that had
somehow come to her she scarcely
knew how herself, and of the girls
dread OF what might follow the prov.
ing of the case waiting in the town
for her fathers presence. That the
girl had never done her harm to cause
this feeling of hatred she would not
believe. Had she not won Dora's heart
in a fashion she could never do? Could
she accept this unmurmuringly? Was
there nothing she could do to hurt the
girl in Dora's eyes? And if that were
impossible-and she soon learned that
it was-was it impossible for her to
wound the girl herself in every way
conceivable to narrow mind.
