Jorullo in Mexico Is one of the most
remarkable INSTANCES of intermittent
volcanic action. Up to 1859 the site
where the volcanic cone now stands
was occupied by a fertile plain. sur
rounded by hills composed of very
ancient volcanic rocks. In that year,
amids earthquake shocks, a chasm
opened in the plain, from which
flames issued, and ashes and lava
were elected In sufficient, quantities
to form in a short time a mountain
1000 feet high. Since then there
have been no eruptions, and the low.

covered with trees and the surround;

It is perfectly proper to speak of
the "crust" of the earth. The exis-
tence of volcanoes and the fact, that
the temperatures regularly increases
as YOU penetrate the rocks by borings

SCHOOL CHILDREN WIN OUT
New York Railway system Forced
to Meet Their De-
mandh, -

NEW YORK, Feb. 1L-That the scrawied
signatures Of twenty school children nave
just brought a great railroad system to
revise its schedule to suit parents and
pupils throughout one farming district OF
this state was reported in this city today.
Scholars from the rural regions OF Niagara
county along the shore of Lake Ontario are
today reaching home from their high school
in the town of Wilson in time for hours
Of play before dark, while the railroad
formerly brought them back IN the evening
or not at all. In the office of Governor
Hughes public service commission a file
of official correspondence with the railway
magnates has been closed, in which the
simple petition OF the youngsters won out.
When the homebound train was suddenly
scheduled to--lAaye half an hour before
school closed last term an Indignation
meeting was held by the children, marooned
at Wilson with their lunch baskets. A pc
tition was np under the guidance OF
Superintendent A. NJ. McIlroy and labori-
ously signed by each protesting son and
daughter of the Niagara farmers. This
document was solemnly considered and
copied by the Hughes commissioners and
brought before scores of august railroad
officials. The whole force Of one railway
division was put on the jump to find out
VIII the children were not accommodated.
Today the railroad has notified the com
mission that 1t, win move its schedule back
to it's old form, and the children are franz
ing another petition Of thanks to the

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE dull strength
In today's market was ascrfbed in large
part to foreign influence and was an echo
OF the route undergone by the bear ele-
ment in the speculation on the London
stock market. The situation abroad has
been cleared up materially by the interna-
tional political adjustments which have
been going on and which remove a weight
OF apprehension that has borne on the fl
nancial markets for many months past.
The easing of the London money market
also gives a fresh start to the investment
demand, which has begun TO show signs
OF being glutted by the large new issues of
capital recently placed i'm the market. The
closing up of short account made a buoy
ant stock market in London yesterday and
today, the rebound in British consols reach
ing 10 more than a full point In that time,
although some reaction occurred before to-
days markets closed.
London was a buyer Of stocks here on a
considerable scale and there was an impor-
tant factor in the early advance in prices.
some part Of the buying here was sup
posed to be prompted by the action Of
the California legislature in reconsidering
the bill to segregate Japanese children in
the public schools, although the discussion
of our Japanese relations has lost its in
fluence as a stock market factor for sew
eral days. Union Pacific moved upward
with its usual strong sympathetic effect on
the whole list. The admission OF directors
representing the new control to the Ches-
apeake q Ohio board was made the occa-
sion for another demonstration OF strength
in that stock. TIL whole Of the southern
group OF railroad stocks was marked up
briskly without special explanation. Esti-
mates OF the currency movement we're for
only part of the week, but they indicated
some loss of cash by the banks, as the
withdrawal of deposits by the United States
treasury and the shipment OF gold to South
America were not Offset by the inflow of
cash from the interior. The money market
was not perceptibly affected by this show
ing. January exports OF domestic produce
fell 100000 in value below the January
reports OF last year. but that month last
wear marked an ahsOlutp record in mar
chandise exports and was. the elimination
of the rush to market merchandise abroad
for the purpose of procuring gold to re-
lteve the after-panic money conditions in
New York. The stock market sank back
into lethargy in the lates dealings and the
days changes proved trivial in most cases.
