Lima, April 2O-The volcano Puye-
hue in the province of Valdivia, Chilli,
is yet in active eruption, and new era
ters have opened. The losses in the
neighboring country are enormous,
and the inhabitants are panic-stricken.
Showers of hot ashes are falling and
there are continued earthquake
shocks, accompanied by subterranean
explosions.
Absolute darkness would prevail but
for the light from several fires over
an extent of six miles.
A great number of cattle have been
killed near Lake Rance. Several

Quakes Shake Island of Luzon.
Manila, P. l., April 20.-Earth-
quake shocks were felt here at inter
walls for three hours early Friday
morning. Three Of the shocks were
severe, but the majority were very
light. Reports received here from the
southern part of the island of Luzon
announce that severe earthquakes
were felt at Nueva Caceres, Camarines
province, and at Tayabas, 62 miles
southeast of Manila. Buildings were
destroyed in both places, but no loss

Tremor at Charleston, S. C.
Charleston, S. c., April 2O.-A slight
earthquake shock was felt in Charles
ton and Summerville at 1925 o'clock
Friday morning. In the latter place
it was said that dishes ratified and
ornaments were knocked from the
mantels In Charleston only a very
few people knew of the shock until
after breakfast. From various points
in the city people reported having
been awakened by rumble followed
by three slight wave movements. 1t
lasted about eight seconds and was
apparently from southeast to north
west.
Shocks Recorded in London.
London, April 2O-John Milne, the
seismologist, says that his instru-
ments recorded a big earthquake at
$40 Wednesday night. 1t reached it's
maximum intensity at 1906 and last
ed a long time afterward. He tenta-
lively estimates that it was 5,4OO
miles distant, probably in Mexico or
the northern part of South America.
Prof. Delar of the Lacibach, Austria,
observatory telegraphs that a great
earthquake began at 1915 mid-Euro-
pean time. The center of the disturb
ance was apparently $3.50 miles away.
Strange Storm on Atlantic.
New York, April 2O-F'rom mid
night until five o'clock Wednesday
morning the steamer La Provence,
which arrived in port Friday night,
passed through storm which, the
officers of the ship say, has rarely
been exceeded in violence on the At
lantic.
The barometer fell rapidly, the air
was SO full of electricity that the COM
pass was useless, and then huge seas
began to break over the decks, though
no rain fell. Capt. Alix thinks the
strange storm was the result of the
same forces which caused the earth
quake shocks in Mexico

THE ExCIrABLE CUBAN.

A remarkable strength and exuberance OF feel
ing go with the Cuban's blood. His language
alone, his tongue, is all inadequate TO express
his feelings. He talks with arms, hands, face
and shoulders-with all his body. All passion Is
excessive, swelling, boundess. Perhaps 1t Is
the climate: one cannot say. Yet the selt-con-
tanned American is at once the envy ana the
despair of Cubans. They are, and they know IL
without being able to amend il, Overemotional
and overeXcitable. The common cry of the

NAMES WILD PIGEONS.

An item has been going the rounds of the Maine
papers to the effect that wild pigeons have reap
neared in small numbers in the eastern part of
the state and it will undoubtedly be of interest
10 many people to know that these birds were
once so plentiful hereabOuts that the price 80
cents a Dozen while who formerly made
business of catching them every year tells Port
land reporter that he had known them TO be low
as 70 cents dozen. When they were at that
figure" he remarked two neighbOrs OF mine who

THE LAW AGAINST KILLING.

There is deep rooted feeling against murder

rattlesnakes viii strike instantly at a stranger
of any other species, but never at one OF them
suck at q mother cat till fed, then try TO Kill
her Though a boodthrsty creature, it would
never have attacked it's own mother
Wild animals often fight for the mastery,
usually over a question Uf mates, but in virtually
all cases the fight is over when yields. The
yanuuished can save himself either by submis-
sion or by flight. What IS commoner than to
soc the weaker of two dogs disarm his con-
oueror by grovelling on the ground? The victor
in a fight between two cats Is satisfied when
the foe flies: ne win not pursue MIN twenty
Yards In either case, had the enemy been OF
another race, the victor would have followed ana
killed him.
What makes the difference? Obviously not a
req s0ned out conclusion, but a deep instructive
feeling-the recognition Of the unwritten law
against unnecessarily killing ones own kind

ment that the city has not enough money with
which to build the new boardwalk in the upper
part of this resort this year. The boardwalk
committee of the City Council which had the
matter in charge, was laboring under the I'M
preston that bonds had been issued to the eX-
tent Of 100000 but when the matter was sifted
down and bids had been received it was found
there was less than 100000 worth OF bonds for
this purpose. Therefore all bids were rejected
and work postponed until authority can be had
from, the state Legislature to increase the board
walk bond issue.
II is confidently expected the work of build
inc the boardwalk will be started in the course
Of a few, weeks and completed in time for use
of visitors the coming spring. The city pur-
posed building the foundations OF the new es-
planade of concrete, similar to the substructure
Of the new 81 O0O.OOO pier, and TO make the
decking of wood or concrete But the work will
have to be postponed.
The deferring of this work will hold back the
building of the $1.OO0OO0 hotel which Newlin
Haines of the Hotel ST Charles. had planned
10 erect on the square of beach front between
Connecticut and Massachusetts avenues. The
hotel was to be rushed with all possible speed
and Mr.. Haines expected to have a portion OF it
completed in time for use next summer. But

COMETS AND THEIR MYSTERY.

a comet is distinguished usually by nucleus.
by an envelope called the coma, which sur
rounds the nucleus, and, last, by its luminous
tail streaming behind the nucleus for perhaps
q hundred million miles and more as the comet
swims toward the sun Occupying a volume
thousands OF times greater than the sun, tHe
question naturally arises, How can body with
50 vast an appendage sweep through the solar
system without deranging every planet? Fortu-
nateIy for the preservation Of the solar system,
2 comet, so far from being a compact mass, Is
often transparent Stars have been distinctly
seen without perceptible dirninution Of bright
ness not only through the tail, but even through
the nucleus. In structure the tail is a gOs-
samer of molecules so ghostly that in compari-
son the hlmIest OF bridal wells Is coaFSely dense
and the thinnest haze that hovers on the hori-
zon is Inpenetrable blanket. Indeed, the
earth's atmosphere on the clearest day is far
denser. Hundreds of cubic miles of q comets
tail are probably outweighed by jarful of air.
A plume Of such fairy lighIness can hardly be
supposed TO remain permanent. and so It IS not
astonishing 10 nnd that during It's swift jour-
ney around the sun a comets outlines are IN
cessantly changing. An interval Of a few days,
perhaps of a few hours, may work wonders
in its diaphanOus texture. Its path is its only
permanent characteristic, indeed, the only char
acteristic by which il can be surely identified II
il ever returns.
From all the known facts astronomers have
concluded thaE the nucleus of comet is merely
a mass of meteors. easily dispersed into small
groups. or distributed gradually along the orbit,
until eventually the comet is completely disin-,
tegrated and extinguished. Astronomical his
tory offers considerable evidence in support OF
this hypothesis. Biela's comet, discovered in
1926 and carefully observed each return,
split into two parts and reappeared as a curl
Gus double comet in 1876. When ii revisited
the earth in 1852 the two parts had drifted
away from each other and were separated about
one million miles. Since then the comet has
disappeared Every six and a half years the
earth crosses the track Of that lost comet.
Meteoric showers then rain upon In these
neIeors see all that IS now left OF BIela 5
comet. Similarly, the great comet Of 1882 lit
orally lost its head by breaking into four por-
lions. each Of which will some day form n sep
arate comet Another link in this chain Of
testimony IS presented by the chemical compo-
sitlon Of rneteorites which have found their way

actIy with that Of a cornet.-Waldemar Kaempf-
