QUEER SLIPS OF THE PEN.
Singular Errors Perpetrated Even by
the Great Writers.

We are constantly making errors In
speech, but owing to the rapidity OF
ordinary intercourse they pass by un'
noticed. 1t is only when they are
petrifed In print that they become
very noticeable.
Among the curious mistakes OF au'
thors II may be mentioned that Ouida

and John Hollingshead In. "The Story
OF Leicester Square" perpetrates this
glorious double bull: When Lord
Mohun was killed he was living In

been made by newspapers. as the fol-
lowing clippings will show: One pa

ON the death OF famous Irish Judge:
"A great Irishman has passed away.
God grant that many Of the great men
who really love their country may

The French student.

Some of the French students are mis-
erably poor. No5one knows how much
poverty is hidden under those long
curls and pale faces. Sometimes in the
libraries in the evening one sees Il stu
dent take piece OF dry bread out Of
his pocket and MUNICH it while study
Ing that being his whole supper. There
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
starve than do So and as one OF them
expressed it. Rather starve during
nine years and not do manual labor
than live fairly well and finish the
same studies in three years and work
for a living. - Paris Letter in New

Cause of Eruptions.
In volume Oh volcanoes Professor
C.. Doelter undertakes to, tell. why vol
canoes have er,lptions. Melted rock
such as Is flung from Nesuvius requires
q temperature Of 500 degrees t'ahreii-
heit. so that ii 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 he large zone OF rock which still
remains solid because its temperature
ia less than that OF the melting point
corresponding to, the pressure under
which it 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 ut which
this primary reservoir of magma lies
and the pressure under which 1t Is con-
fined are SO great that direct eruption
from 1t is uncomfortable. but when, by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise. channel is opened the
| magma may rise to u depth where it is
surrounded by rock at a lower temper
ature than the melting point. In these
circumstances qualification 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
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 a 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.

PEELED, and, il there Is no free escape.
pressure may increase till it becomes
great enough to overcome the resist
ance of the everything rock and so lead
to an eruption and the formation OF a
volcano, whose character will depend
on the nature OF the reservoir from
which the eruption took place.

House. n siam.


Y In Caspar Whitney's book Jungle
Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says:
''Theg Siamese buiAis 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 il 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
I.should say the most practical. IL not
the most aesthetic, reason is to have
