VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
A Theory to Explain the Source and
Cause of Eruptions

Cause of Errptfons.
In volume on volcanoes Professor
G. Doeter undertakes to tell why vol
canoes have eruptlons. Melted rock
such as is flung from Vesuvius requires
a temperature of 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit, so that it becomes liquid only far
down in the earth, perhaps sixty or a
hundred miles. Below the outer crust
of cooled and soldified rocks there
must be 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 Doelter looks for the
primary source of all volcanic activity.
At the same time the depth at which
this primary reservoir of magma lies
and the pressure under which it Is con-
fined are so great that direct eruption
from it is inconceivable, but when, by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise, a channel is opened the
magma may rise to depth where it is
surrounded by rock at lower temper
ature than the melting point. In these
circumstances solidification 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.
At one time-and the idea is still COM
months steam was supposed to have
been derived from sea water which
had obtained access to the molten lava
while still underground, but this ex-
PLANTATION is now generally rejected, be-
ing impossible in some cases and mad
equate in all, and the greater part of
the steam and other emanations from
a volcano are now regarded as directly
derived from an original store in the
interior of the earth. However this
may be- it is certain that the magma
from which volcanic lava is derived is
not merely in state of igneous fusion,
but is combined with water and gases,
which are given off as it solidifies and
by their escape frequently form minia-
ture volcanoes on the surface of lava
streams.
If the solidlication takes place un-
derground the steam and gases are ex-
PEELED, and, if there is no free escape,
pressure may increase till it becomes
great enough to overcome the resist

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 I'M
pardonable sin of living in a 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
l 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 betel nut
chewing and household refuse, which
may thus be easily disposed of through
the crevices of the openly constructed
floor"

Some of the French students are mis-

poverty is hidden under those long
curls and pale faces. Sometimes in the

was one student who always walked
with his coat collar turned up. He was
found frozen dead one morning. He
had hardly anything on underneath his
coat. But while American students
who find themselves hard up will do
manual labor, if nothing better can be
found, French student would rather

than live fairly well and finish the
same studies in three years and work

Sharks Delicate In Captivity.

Sharks are rather delicate in captiv-
ity, and 1t is difficulty to keep them
In aquariums. Whatever care may be
bestowed upon them they do not seem
to be able to stand confinement, how
ever large the tank or pool may be.
In captivity sharks swim round and
round the tank, nine times out of ten
taking one course and never reversing.
A shark has been known to keep its
course for three or four months with
out change and, except for food, never
halting, so far as it was observed. 1t
would keep going all day long and
would be found going in the morning
just the same. If food was placed in
its way, it would stop for several min
utes and eat, remaining headed the
same way. Presently it would start
on again in the same direction on its
rounds, moving slowly unless dis
turbed.

A MEMORABLE TRAGEDY.
II Grew Out of the Last Great slave
Auction In This Country.

Auction In This Country.
The last great slave auction held in
this country occurred just year and
a half before the war-in October 1883
at the race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property of Pierce
Butler, a picturesque and prominent
figure at that day in Philadelphia So
ciety, 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 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 inveterate passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
1t is said that he lost $4,000 on sim
gle' hand-four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves There
were 0SS of them in all. The sale took
two days and netted $303,SJ0. Butler
had chosen II good time to sell. a year
later his negroes would not have been
worth dollar a head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
it not been announced as one of the
conditions that no division of families
would be permitted; hence in order to
secure good slave buyers often had
to take with them intirm or aged rela-
tives. Out of this limitation grew a
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate a well
known Nicksburg trader, bought Mt the
sale a man, his two sisters and his
wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated. Disregarding
this, pate sold the sisters, one to Pat
Somers, a brother trader, and the 9TH
er TO Il resident of st. Louis. What
legal rights a negro had in the south
were well protected. Somers was told
of the guarantee, and he sent the girl
back to Pate and demanded his money.
A quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate and 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

The ancient English custom of giving
love tokens on the Goth Of August died
out many years ago. The custom was
for "enamoured maydes and gentle
women" to give TO their favorite swains
as tokens of love little handkerchiefs
three or four inches square, with but
ton or tassel at each corner and a
small one in the center. The finest of
these favors was edged with narrow
gold lace or twist and then folded
up in four cross folds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn
by the fortunate swains in their hats
or on the breast. The favors were gen
orally the handiwork of the "faire
maybe" herself, and well she liked to
work the most beautiful figures she
could for her favorite suitor but they
became so much in vogue in Queen
Elizabeth's time that they were sold
ready made in the shops. This, Of
course, destroyed the romance of the
custom, and hence its death.

Necessities of n Happy Life.

There are two fundamental necessi-
ties for a happy life-namely, a useful
occupation for mind and body and an
outlet for unselfish affection. The first
requisite for enduring happiness is in
having work to do in which one be-
heves. Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something useful.
While this work must be done with
fair efficiency, it should not be accom-
panied with too much drudgery or eX-
haustion.
The simpler the plan on which ones
living is modelled the less will be the
complications and disturbances caused
by an overelaborate scale of existence
and the more time will be left for the
real duties and pleasures of life.-From

Little Red Riding-hood is the heroine
Of well known nursery tale, which
relates her encounter with a wolf in
the forest, the arts by which he de-
ceived her and her tragical end. Grimm
derived the story from tradition cur
rent in the region bordering upon the
river Main, in Germany. The legend is,
however, widely disseminated. In the
Swedish variation Of the story Little
Red Riding-hood takes refuge in tree,
the wolf meanwhile gnawing at the
roots, when her lover, alarmed by her
cries, comes up just in time to see
the tree fall and his ladylove crushed

ACTION OF THE RAIN.
The Wonderful Factor II Is In the
Disintegration of Rocks.

The rain falling OH the rocks sinks
into every crack and crevice. carrying
with it into these assures surface mate
rial which has been degraded by the
weather and thus affording IL matrix
sufficient to start the growth of vege-
tation and afterward to maintain the
plants. The fibers and roots of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life, growing and expanding, act
rs wedges to split up the surface of
the rock and to commence the process
Of wearing away. From this quality
Of destruction large class of plants
derive the name of saXifrages, or rock
breakers, from their roots penetrating
into the minute assures in search of
water and SO assisting in the process
of disintegration. In winter the water
collected in the hollows and crevices
becomes frozen and, expanding as it
changes into ice, acts like charge of
blasting material in breaking up the
rock. The pieces thus detached be-
come further disintegrated by frost
and weather and, being rolled over and
over and rubbed against each other as
they are carried away down the noun
tain torrents, are ground gradually
smaller and smaller till from frag-
ments Of rock they become powders,
then pebbles and finally sand. AS the
mountain stream merges into the riv-
er the pebbles and coarse sand con-
tinue to be rolled along the bottom of
the channel, while the ragillaceous par
ticles and salts become mingled with
the water and flow ON with 1t either in
suspension or solution.
While this disintegrating process is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed to the sea are suf-
fering degradation by n similar proc
ess and are also being worn away by
the incessant action of the waves of
the ocean beating on them and attack
ing them not only with the impact of
the water, but also with the fragments
broken off, which, dashed against the
face from which they have eroded, are
thus used as implements of destruc-
tion.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Its Location n Mystery That VIII

Its Location n Mystery That VIII
Probably Never BE Solved.
The location of the earthly paradise
or garden of Eden Is still matter of
dispute among orientalists and Scriptu-
raj scholars of highest reputation. Some
have endcavored to locate it by the
fruits and mineral productions named
in the Biblical descriptions as they ap-
pear in the second chapter Of Genesis;
others by the rivers mentioned in
verses II to IA of the above mentioned
chapter. The weight of investigation
and tradition inclines to an agreement
that the Tigris and the Euphrates of
modern geography are the third and
fourth rivers mentioned in the Biblical
description of the garden. Those who
agree so far differ widely as to what
rivers should now be regarded as the
ancient Pison and Gihon. The Bud
dhistic scholars, although they reject
our Bible in the greater part, incline to
the opinion that the Pison Is the sacred
Ganges and that the Gihon is none
other than the Nile. AS to the last, 1t
is altogether probable that they are
correct or that point, because the Bibli-
cal account plainly says that Gihon
"compasseth the whole land of Ethi-
opia.'
Some Investigations confirm that
Eden was a spot Of comparatively
small area located on the tabieands of
what is now Armenia, from which rise
the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few
scholars Of distinction argue that the
Adamic paradise was located in Africa
in the vicinity of the mountains of the
Moon. Still another school Of oriental
lists locate the celebrated garden in the
vicinity OF the ancient city of Babylon.
You will notice, however, that none
of these theorists has been able to get
) the four rivers mentioned in the Bib
lical account properly located. Neither
have they found place where one
great river separates into four heads"
This being the case, it is hardly neces-
sary to add that the exact location of
Eden is mystery that will probably
never be solved.
