And more recent than all was a
remarkable fall of ashes that del
uged portions of western Alaska,
in places even interfering with
shedding.
Entire islands, among them the
Perry islands and Mccullough
islands, in the Aleutian peninsula,
have sprung up over night from
the oceans depths and have sunk
again as mysteriously, sending
forth huge clouds Of steam and
blackening the heavens with vol
canic ash.
In the ocean itself there have
been weird changes. In one place
great submarine mountain has
been thrown up, almost reaching
the surface, while all around the
sea is from one to two miles in
depth. This upheaval snapped the
Alaska telegraph cable and it's ends

Strong sulphuric fumes were in the
air and at times became almost
overpowering.
AS if the spirits of the sea and
land were fighting for the mastery,
the islands and volcanoes of
Alaska have recently given evil
dence of a titanic CONFUSION in the

formations that the geodetic survey
finds it difficult to keepa record of
the alterations in the coast line
and the various manifestations that
come from the earth's pent up
energy.

In this instance Duffy was on

rell drove long fly to Hoy in
deep center, which was caught
after a long run. The instant the
ball was caught Duffy tore for
third, but instead of stopping he
rounded the base and continued
toward the plate, which he made by
magnificent slide, tying the
score.
Hoy was upset by Duffy's act
When he caught the ball he threw
it easily to the third baseman, be.

everyone by making his desperate
