False Alarm Volcanoes.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Gail.
Volcanic eruptions are not lnfre-
uuently reported from regions where
they are geologically impossible. Sew
eral years ago the formation of an &C
tive rater on an Alpine summit was
announced. The cause was only a for
est fire on one of the lower peaks.
! Quite recently, in France, the papers
told Of an eruption in an abandoned
mine shaft near Mons. Huge, thick
clouds first rose from the shaft n a
fine, warm dust soon began to fall over
the surrounding fields. Soon flames
were seen to issue and stones rained
on the neighboring houses, whose ter
riied inhabitants took fight. An In
vestigation led to the conclusion that
all this was due to an explosion Of fire
dGmp in the old mine.
Eruptions of the same sort have oc-
Cured in our own country. In one of
the canyons of h Santa Monica
mountains, near Los Angeles, a vol
cano, we are informed by h local
press, recently broke out. Similar re-
ports in the past have always been
traced to fires in the oil bearing shales
that abound near the surface of the
gr ound in this region, and investigation
has shown that this latest volcano" is
of the same nature. The locality is
about 200 yards from the sea, at a point
about IL miles from Los Angeles
where sulphurous smoke rises from a
little noun of miocene shale. A little
below the surface, the ground is almost
red hot, and sets fire to bits of wood
that are stuck into 1t.
The fire seems to have been started
by lightning, or perhaps it is a case OF
| spontaneous combustion. The region
is soaked with petroleum and it is not
necessary to have cours to any the
DRY of volcanic action for an explana-
ton. AS the nearest oil wells are fully
10 miles distant, the incident probably
will have no unpleasant consequences

Finding Lost Money.


Here is all amusing story OF a pro-
vincial railway station waiting room.
The other day the imperturbable calm
which c~haracterizes the occupants of
such an apartment was disturbed by
the metallic ring upon the floor of a
dropped coin. Nobody betrayed con-
seriousness of having dropped ii but
everybody began furtively to look for
it. All was silence until a lachrymose
individual who had at last apparently
found something, inquired in plaintive
tones, HAS anyone dropped a half
sovereign 2" .
Then there was a chorus, matchless
both for simultaneousness and spon-
taneity, of Yes, / have!" At least a
dozen persons seemed to have lost that
half sovereign.

A small negro boy was going along
the street carrying a turtle by the tail,
when a yentriloquist standing near
threw his voice over to the turtle and
seemed to make it say: Where is you
all goin' with me?"
The little negro heard the question,
and looking around with establishment,
but not being entirely satisfied as to
where the voice came from, walked or
Again the ventriloquist threw his
voice over the turtle and said: II say,

This time the boy was satisfied that
the turtle had been gifted with a mi

dropped it on the sidewalk in con-
sternation, exclaiming, II isn't a-takin'
