VOLCANO FIRE
c. j. AUSTIN REPORTS THAT
WHILE AT HALEAKALA HE SAW
FIRE FROM MAUNA LOA.

What would seem to be conlrmatory
of the report of an outbreak of Mokua-
weoweo was brought yesterday by c.
j. Austin superintendent of the govern
ment nursery. on Thursday night,
Captain Mosher of the steamer Iwalani
saw three flashes of light apparently
from the summit of Mauna Loa. He
surmised that the light had been from
an outburst of fire from the summit
crater. Subsequently, it was claimed
that this light was due to the reflection
of brush fire at Waianae.
Mr.. Austin reports that while on
Haleakala, he saw what he believed
was an outbreak from the summit of
Mauna Loa.
ION Tuesday evening, September 1,
I was at the top of Haleakala with a
young fellow named Hansted," said
Mr.. Austin yesterday. 1--WE had climb
ed to the summit from the cave be-
low, about seven in the evening, when
Hansted noticed a bright light in the
direction of Mokuaweoweo. He called
my attention to it and asked what it
was. I saw that the volcano I'M
doubtedly was in action. The light be-
came brighter and DINNER at times.
| had seen Mokuaweoweo in action in
1887 and the outbreak of 4 years ago, but
last Tuesday was the grandest sight of
all. There was not a flow of lava or
anything of that kind, but a ref1ec-
ton from the flames in the crater,
which was carried upon the smoke
arising from it. We could see over the
clouds and the top of Mauna Kea and
also the dome of Mauna Loa.
when We first saw the light it was
very dim but got brighter as we
watched it. We got to the top of Ha-
leakala about seven o'clock in the
evening and remained there watching
the eruption until nine o'clock. Then
| it became so cold that we had to quit
and we went down again to our cave
on the other side of the mountain.
1T certainly was beautiful sight,
solid wall of light extending two
hundred feet or more into the air, and
about one hundred feet wide. 1t was
not a flame, but the reflection upon the
clouds of smoke that we saw. Columns
, of smoke were visible. The light would
get brioter and brighter, and at times
would foam up into flashes, like a
flaming fountain. The light was plain
! ly not from Kilauea. The smaller craft
er was visible, just below Mauna
| Loa. We stayed watching the sight
as long as we could stand it, then it
got so cold that we went to the cave
two hundred yards down the opposite
side of the mountain.
THE next mogning we climbed to the
summit again, hoping, to get another
glimpse of the volcano. 1t was too
foggy and cloudy to see anything
| though. We stayed there until day.
light, but could not see through the
fog and clouds.
81 should have thought that the
smoke and flames could have been
seen from the Volcano House, though
possibly it may have been foggy. There
is not the least doubt in my mind, but
what Mokuaweoweo was in eruption
at least on Tuesday night"

WHAT IS PAIN BALM2

81 Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-
ment and, while adapted to all the or
binary uses of liniment, has qualities
which distinguish it from other rem
edies of this class Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands of cases can be cited in which
it has effected a cure when the sufferer
had previously tried the best medical
service without securing relief. Pain
Balm is positively guaranteed to give
relief in the most severe cases of chron-
ic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and
scalds in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is "antiseptic" that is, it pre-
vents putrefaction and by so doing,
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed.
For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia,
Pain Balm has no equal 1t has the
quality of getting to the right spot"
No sufferer from these distressing af-
fections should defer a triak of this
remedy. One application gives relief

Having ascertained the origin and
the characteristics of the device prop
erly called money" we discovered
that its official functions are per-
formed "in the public Offices and in
the courts" We followed it into the
public offices and found it there max
ing it possible to make equal quanti-
ties of valuation of the force of de-
mand bear equal burdens in the sup
port and maintenance Of government.
Let us next follow it into the courts
of this country.
The same law which makes it's use
compulsory in the public Offices, in the
exercise of the taxing power, also
makes it's use compulsory in the pro
ceedings of the courts in this coun-
try.
We have seen that even in a coun-
try devoid of ''coin,' and where all
taxes are made payable in the articles
taxed some rude standard of money"
is necessity in the exercise of the
taxing power, and must be fixed by
the governing authority. It is clear
ly much more necessary where "val-
uation" alone is taxed, and all taxes
paid in coin" alone-as it is with us.
There is but one lawful method
known among men, living under or
derly governments, for the enforce.
ment of the payment of claims be.
tween private persons, whether sucl
claims arise out of contracts or out oi
torts. That method is by a judicia

ever the articles subject to taxation
are empowered to pay that tax, at the
same price at which they are listed
for taxation, that price necessarily de-
termines their price for all purposes.
In all private transactions between the
citizens, these animals would be ex-
changed for each other on the basis OF
the prices" thus fixed by the "valu-
alton" or appraisement under the laws
regulating the exercise of the taxing
power, and those prices would be ex-
pressed in the term OF money thus
adopted by the government, whatever
that term might be.
The citizens would not thus, in pri-
vate exchanges, use the prices ex-
pressed by this term because such ac-
tion would be m n tory, but
because it would be conven1e e t.
In thus applying the term OF money
to express the quantity OF valuation,
and using that expression which is
price" exchanges would be "facili-
tated." But such use of the standard
of money" would be entirely volun-
tary and it never was a necessity.
The device for expressing quantity
of valuation, therefore, arose out OF
the necessity to overcome the ditfl-
culties surrounding the equitable ex-
ercise of the taxing power. 1t is
necessary device, as we have seen,
even when the system of taxation in
wolves the simple process OF taking
portion of each specific article taxed.
How much more necessary where all
articles of taxable wealth are ap-
praised or valued and the percent
age of the tax taken in "coin,' and in
nothing else!
1t was proper, then, that the 10th
section Of the act of congress of April,
1892, made the use of the symbol,
which constitutes money" compul-
sorry ''in the public offices of the
United States,' where it forms an es-
sential part of the machinery for the
exercise of the taxing power. Its use
is mandatory there. This is one of
the Offices for the performance OF
whose functions the standard of
money" is created; the other is it's
use in the courts. 1t is safe to say
that no imaginary difficulties of ex-
changing commodities for each other
ever caused it's invention. 1t sprang
from the fact that no system of ex-
ercising the taxing power can be
equitably employed without some such
device 1t was for this reason that
the use of the standard of money"
was made compulsory in the public
offices" where it performs it's official,
functions. We may, therefore, safely
conclude that the standard of money is
created in each nation as device es-
sential to the exercise of the taxing
power, whenever that nation attains
to condition of stability and order,
under laws for its regulation, and nev-
er exists except under these condi-
tions.

WORDS OF BIBLE COUNTED.
How, Where and When a Prisoner Found
Their Number.

IL is well known that the number of let
tiers, words, verses, etc, contained in the
Bible have been counted, but by whom.
when, or where, is not generally known
Treats publication, entitled "Curiosities
or the Bible" speaks of the occurrence
as oelng Of Spanish origin, and that the
Prince OF Granada, fearing usurpation,
caused the arrest of the supposed would
be usurper, and by order Of the Spanish
crown he was thrown into an old prison
called the place of skulls. situated in
Madrid, where he was confined for thir-
ty-three years, with no other companion
than the rats, mice and other vermin
that ftequented his dismal cell.
during his confinement he counted the
letters, etc, contained in the Bible, and
scratched the several numbers ON the
stone walls with a nail. When his work
was discovered he was furnished with
writing utensils and ordered to make a
copy of the results OF his long and tedious
task, and, on its being completed, he
finally received his liberty. The follow
ing is correct copy of his great work
The Bible contains 1866. 4S0 letters,
Tf3,t4G words, 81, 173 verses, 1895 chap
tiers and &c books.
The word and occurs 10,6S4 times. the
word Lord 1858 times, the word Jehovah
$500 times, and the word reverend hut
once, which is in the ninth verse of the
111th Psalm.
The middle verse is the eighth verse of
the IlSth Psalm. The twenty-frst verse
of the seveni chapter of Ezra conta rs
all the letters of the alphabet except the
letter j.
The finest chapter to read is the TWEEN
ty-sl&th chapter of the Acts Of the Apos-
ties. The most beautiful chapter is the
twenty-third Psalm. The nineteenth
chapter of III Kings and the thirty
seventh chapter of Isaiah are alike.
The four most inspiring promises are TO
be found in the sixth chapter of ST. John,
thirty seventh verse, and fourteenth chap
ter, second verse; also eleventh chapter
of St Matthew, twenty-eighth verse, and
the thirty Psalm, fourth verse.
The longest verse is the ninth verse,
eighth chapter of Esther The shortest
verse is the thirty-fifth verse, eleventh
chapter of st. John.
There are ten chapters in the book of
Esther in which the words Lord and God
do not occur The eighth fifteenth, TWEEN
ty-frst and thirty-frs verses of the 107th
Psalm are alike. Each verse of the 12et,i
Psalm end alike. The 117th Psalm con-
tains but two verses, the 11Sth Psalm
contains 176 verses. There are no words
or names of more than six Syllables.
1t has also been discovered by some
person unknown that in Joel, third chap
ter, third verse, the word girl occurs,
and in the eighth chapter Of Zacharah,
fifth verse, the word girls is mentioned
for the only time in the whole book
The eighth chapter of Esther ninth
verse, contains fifty-two IS. The word
snow appears twenty-four times in the
Old Testament and three times in the
New.-Boston Herald.
