They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understand That Term.
"What are volcanoes?"
Nine out of every ten persons would
Immediately lave an answer of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not Il lively remembrance of hnv-
ing learned in their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is IL burning mountain, from
the summit of which are sent out smoke
and flames?" This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
worl. is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is. holes in
the earth's crust Out of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating, form the heaps which we popu.
larly call mountains.
These are, then. the result and not
the cause, of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion nor
| any action we might reasonably call
"burning."
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions are
just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called "smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
of condensing steam which are formed
on every occasion when an eruption
| occurs.
Lastly, the flames" so called, are
merely the reflection Of the mass OF
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds of steam above
thus appearing us Il glowing light. The
friction. too. set up by the motion OF
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating effect.-Pear

He Wac Guilty.

The great Irish agitator, Daniel
O'Connell, was at one time defending
man accused of murder at Clonmel.
The circumstantial evidence was so
strong against the prisoner that the
jury had already determined upon
their verdict Of guilty, when the man
supposed to have been murdered was
brought into court, alive and unhurt.
The jury were desired to return their
verdict at once. and they did so. but 1t
was one of guilty.
"What!' exclaimed the astonished
judge. What does this mean? If
the man has not been murdered how
can the prisoner be guilty?"
"Please, your honor" said the fore
man, hes guilty. He stole my bay
mare three years age" Omaha World

The Money Germ.

Ingenious Ponies.

A rather curious habit has been de-
velopad by Mexican ponies in connec-
ton with the cactus thorns. When
these creatures are thirsty 1t is said
that before attempting to put their
mouths TO the priclsly plant they will
first of all stand and kick at the cactus
with their heels. BY this means the
thorns are broken and the leathery skin
bruised. and so the ponies can drink
their fill of the cool juice without in.

Garibaldi's Simplicity of Character

An instance of Garibaldi's modesty
and simplicity of character is afforded
by the following letter, written to his
wife at Caprera the day after the bat
tie of Digion:
Dear Francesca-Yeste the Italian

the .Prussians. the best soldiers In the
world, and won. The weather here is
