HERcuLal.Eut.i.

It's DeatrnctioG Cnn:c From, Dcluse
of Lava Water.
Herculaneum, in Italy, is one of those
ancient cities which have not only been
buried, hut actually forgotten, for
ages. Tie town, supposed to lie Of
Etruscan origin. lies on the Campaniun
plain ut the foot of its destroyer, We
suvitls, almost midway between Ma
pies and Pompeii.
What CAUSED the catastrophe of the
year 20 y. d.? Biologists have come
to the help of the archaeologists, and
1t Is now held that the destruction of
Herculaneum was somewhat different
from that of Pompeli. although Pom
peii was also covered and buried and
the general effects were the same In
both Instances. LII the case of Pom.
peii the city was overwhelmed Ly the
shower of small stones from the vol
cano and the subsequent rain of ashes,
but Hercullneum seems to have been
deluged with water lava" and far
fewer people We're able to make their
escape from the city than from Pom
peii.
1t Is the theory that the steam from
the crater turned into rain. aud, mixing
with the volcanic dust, formed huge
volume of muddy torrent This gath
cred other soil rs 1t poured over the
land, raised the level of the country
more than sixty-tive feet and finally
left mass of compacted tufa. This
torrent ran on to the sea, making Its
own channel and forming kind of
lagoon around the previously safe har-
Dor which entirely prevented any ships
from approaching the place thereafter.

but Did Not Live to Serve.
William Rufus King born April 6,
1ISG. died April IS, 1853, was II vice
president of the United States who
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath of office on foreign
soil, something which can be said of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people of this coun-
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce In 1852
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced TO go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United Suites by
March 4. congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul
ut Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him in
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath of
office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
a dot, and on the day appointed, ut
a plantation on one of the highest hills
In the vicinity of Matanzas, Mr. King
was made vice president of the United
States amid the Golemn "Vaya vol con
Dios' God will be with YOU of the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home ut Cahaw-
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
II, 1858, and died the following day.

Bruges having been celebrated in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t reached the
height of its prosperity in the fifteenth
century. when it was one of the great
commercial emporiums of the world
and was famed far and wide for its
tapestries. The great prosperity, how.
ever, led to such eXtravagant habits in
dress and social life that Charles V.
was obliged to pass stringent sumptu-
airy laws. Complications between sub
sequent rulers and the people led to
the removal of all trade to Antwerp

Akbar, one Of the first of tile great
moguls who ruled India, has been

was a statesman and an educator and
built palace for the reception of
men who loved learning and sought
after wisdom. The great mogul's pas

been shown by a whimsical experiment
he once made to determine II 1t was
true. us he had heard, that Hebrew
was the natural language of all who
had never been taught any other
tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
dozen nursing children to be shut up
IN a castle six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child was reared

nain Of death, to open the gates of the
tastle. When the children were twelve
