Mr. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisors tho
system ard how obstinately il resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
mans for he had head, heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:

Houses In Siam.

In Caspar Whitney's book Jungle
Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says:
"The Siamese builds his house OF one
story and on stills for several reasons.
The first. no doubt. is to avoid the un-
pardonable sin of living in lower
story while an upper one Is occupied
by other human beings, especially wo-
men. who in Siam are not regarded as
of much Importance. The second, and
I should say the most practical, If not
the most aesthetic, reason is to have
a waste gate easy Of access for the con
tinually flowing saliva from betei nut
chewing and household refuse, whicn
may thus be easily disposed of through
the crevices of the openly constructed
floor"

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
A Theory 10 Explain the Source and
Cause Of Erapticus.

In a vOluW. on volcanoes Professor
.. Doelter undertake, To- tell why yOI
ranoes nave eruptious. Melted rock
such as i3 h.ng from Nesuyils requires
Ii temperature of 1860 degrees Falren-
heit. 50 that il becomes liquid only far
down in the earth. perhaps sixty or q
hundred miles. Below the outer crust
Of cooled md Soliditicd rocks there
must be q large zone Of rock which still
remains solid because its temperature
is less than that Of the melting point
corresponding to the pressure under
which ii rests. and below that again
there must be rock or magma in a
state Of fusion 1t IS to this magma
that Professor DOClter looks for the
primary source of all volcanic activity.
ut the same time the depth at which
this primary reservoir of magma lies
and the pressure under which 1t is con-
fined are 50 great that direct eruption
from il is inconceivable, but when. by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise, a channel is opened the
magma may rise 20 Il depth where * is
surrounded by rock at a lower temper
allure than the melting point. In these
circumstances sOiidiiicatiOn begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
Of steam. Of carbOnic acid and other
gases are evolved. and the course Of
every lava stream Is marked by clouds
Of steam evolved from the cooling lava.
Ut one time-iGd the idea IS still COM
months steam was SUPPOSED to have
been derived from sen water which
had OF tanned access T. the moton Lava
while still underground, but .A.s eA-
PLANTATION Is now generally reJec;e :. De-
ing impossible IN some cases and mad
cquate in all. and the greater part or
the steam and other carnations from

derived from an original store in the
interior of the earth. However this
may be, il IS certain that the magma
from which volcanic lava IS derived is
not merely in a state Of igneous fusion,
but is combined with water and gases,
which are given OG rs it sO,i''fieS and
by their escape frequently form minia-
ture volcanoes on the surface o. lava
streams.
If the solidifcatlon takes place un-
derground the steam and gases are ex-
PEELED. and. if there is no free escape,
pressure may increase till 1t becomes

A MEMORABLE TRAGEDY.
II Grew Out OF the Last Great Slave
Auction Ia This Country.

The last great slave auction held in
this country occurred just year and
a half before the war I'll October, 1850
at the race track in savannah The
slaves were the property Of Pierce
Butler, a picturesque and prominent
figure ut that day in Philadelphia So
clety, who IS today only remembered
as having been the husband OF Fanny
Kemble, the actress, reader and au-
thor. His family name was Mease, but
he inherited a fortune in lands and
slaves from his grandfather, Major
Pierce Butler Of South Carolina, on
condition that he should take the lat
terS name.
Buffers inyeterate passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
1t IS said that he lost $4,000 on sin
gle hand-fOur dcuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were 9SS Of them IN all. The sale took
two days and netted $3O3.S5O Butler
had chosen a good time to sell. \ year
later his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar a head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
II not been announced as one Of the
conditions that nc division Of families
would be permitted; hence in order 70
secure Il good slave buyers often had
to take with them infrm or aged rela-
tives. Out OF this limitation grew q
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a well
known Vicksblrg trader bought at the
sale a man, his two sisters and his
wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated. Dlsregarding
this. Pate sold tie sisters. Ole 10 Pat
Sor.ers, a brother trader, and the Oth-
er to a resident of st. Louis. What
legal rights Il negro had in the south
were we'll protected. SOmers was told
Of the guarantee and he sent the girl
back 10 Pate and demanded his money.
4 quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate AMI died from
wounds received. The feud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
Of Pate was wiped out, and then the
war liberated the sisters.-New York
