AS MOUNT SHISHALDIN is IN
ACTION IT'S REPORTED.
Grand Sight for Passengers on Steamer
on Way From Nome-Great Columns
of Flames Hundreds of Feet High
Blazed From Crater-Loss Of Life Is
Not Feared AS Inhabitants Are Few.

Mount Shishaldin, Alaska, ON the
eastern end of Nnimak island, has
lighted its gigantic torch again, ac-
cording to news brought to Seattle by
the steamer Montara, which has just
arrived from Nome.
The Montara first sighted the burn
ing mountain on the morning of the
9th, when the steamer neared Unimax
pass. The sea was turbulent, as if
disturbed by some seismic movement.
A clear column of fame hundreds of
feet high, without smoke, blazed from
the volcano s crater.
After passing through Unimak pass,

south side of the island. When SO
miles away from the volcano the Of
ficers of the ship could see through the
glasses that there was snow to within
"a few feet of the edge of the flames
and that torrents of water made by the
rapidly melting snow were tearing
channels in the steep sides of the
mountain.
Later in the day smoke began tC
belch forth with the flames. The snow
became blackened from the deposit.
Aside from a few Indian fishermen
the only men on Unimak island are
two lighthouse keepers at Scotch cape
The lighthouse tender Armenia will
not bring news from them for a month
Mount Shishaldin is snowcapped
mountain of volcanic form, over 5000
feet high. On the other end of the
island is Pogromni mountain, which il

HUMOROUS TAxIDERMIsT.
English Museum Wherein lis Told
che story of Cock Robin.

English Museum Wherein Is Told
che story of Cock Robin.
Beneath the shadow of the ruined
castle of Bramber, England. there is
a novel and interesting museum well
worthy the attention of all who find
themselves in that prettiest of South
Down villages. According to the
Strand, the exhibits displayed there
in are principally examples Of the art
of the taxidermist. but the subjects
are treated in such a humorous man
ner as to render the museum unique
In England. From a childs point OF
view it is a veritable wonderland,
reminiscent OF the strange sights seen
by Alice when she made her journey
into that delectable country. 1t is not,
however only the juvenile who is cap
tivated with the exhibition; the adult
is none the less amused and agree
ably surprised at the wonderful In
genuity there displayed.
The idea of thus combining the art
of the taxidermist with that of the
humorist was generated in the brain
of the veteran proprietor, Mr.. w. Pot
ter. In 1861 Mr.. Potter set to work
to construct his first set piece, Illus
| trating the Death and Burial of Cock
| Robin" The work was done in Mr..
Potter's spare time, and was not COM
pleted until seven years had elapsed.
| The nursery rhyme is too well known
to repeat here. The whole OF the IN
cidents In the story are graphically
portrayed, and, as evidencing the pa
thence and perseverance exercised BY
Mr.. Potter, 1t may be stated that no
fewer than 100 specimens Of British
birds are included in the setting. In
addition to the birds which figure In
the story there are the cuckoo, night
ingale, goldfinch hawkfnch, bramble-
finch, whyneck, etc. Considerable in
genuity is displayed in the arrange
ment of the fish with his dish." the
fly with his little eye" the owl. the
bull rendered In miniature. the rock
and the mourning birds all assigning
and a-sobbing.

Question Prompted by the Many
New Methods OF Rapid Trans
portation-
AIRSHIP AND OCEAN FLYER
May Cross Atlantic in Three Days
Monorail the Successor to the
Present Railroad

Two questions seem to be the most
important problems of the age. They
are where is the speed limit?" and
"How fast is it possible to travel a
given distancs?"
When the first automobiles reached
such perfection that a speed of TWEEN
ty-fve miles an hour was made with
out injury to machines OF drivers the
public gasped, the Baltimore sun says.
Yet little by little this record has been
changed, until recently Barney Old
field dashed around a mile course in
81 seconds, the equivalent of 131
miles an hour. And this remarkable
rate of speed Barney coolly promises
to exceed the next time he enters a
contest.
Already it is possible to leave New
York on Monday morning and take
dinner on Friday in Liverpool. Naval
men experimenting with oil fuel pre-
dict that within six months or year
the trip will be reduced from hve
days to three Small craft burning oil
| fuel have plowed through the sea on
test runs at the rate of fifty miles an
hour. Aeroplanes are showing aston
ishing rates of speed. Beriot's tri-
umph in crossing the English Channel,
| leaving far behind steamers which
| left France at almost the same mo
ment, has shown the scientific world
what is possible and his record may
be broken at any time. The bird-like
flights of flying machines at recent ex-
hibitions show clearly that these de-
vices will one day rival the highest
rate of speed motion attained by We
hicles on the earth's surface. 1t may
be that they will exceed them.
Tremendous speed means the saving
of time, and this is a time-saving era
Time is money. and every second
saved means dollars to the hustline

probably is the real reason for the
eternal striving for faster methods o.

Farmers Rush Families to Wallace.

Kellogg, Idaho, July 17.-Seven men
are tonight reported cut off by flames
in the forest near Kellogg peak, where
they went in response to calls of set
tiers to have their homes. The party
went from Kingston, and if the flames
were not evaded in time and the men
allowed to reach safety by going
through the timber to the st. Joe side,
their chances for life are poor. Wind
from the south was blowing when they
reached the fire, but before many hours
the breeze had veered to the east, blow
ing the fire upon them.
Three Wardner fire fighters were
overcome by the soggy pine smoke and
gases.
Oscar Groner, a German miner, was
driven mad by the intense heat and
foul gases. Kellogg men found him on
his face in the timber, delirious, and
brought him the 10 miles to town on
a stretcher, moaning and fighting at
every step.
Tonight the fire has reached Stone S
cabin on the west fork of Pine creek
George Tyson's cabin and buildings
were wiped out this afternoon while he
was fighting the fire. Homes Of settlers
whose names could not be secured dur

Flames are racing from Wallace

PUTS LIBRARY IN
TREES FOR WANDERERS
Novel Scheme Has Been Adopted by
California Justice of the
Peace.

William Wheeler Fippen, justice of
the peace of Penryn, CAL, has estab-
lished library for hoboes in grove
of fir trees near his place. 1t is be-
lieved that this hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied. In addition
to having shelves suspended from the
limbs of the trees and cases standing
against the large trunks of the oaks
and pines, Fippen has placed long
table in the grove, supplied with two
benches and several armchairs for the
comfort of the readers. Fippen has
few hoboes to deal with in his court.

FROM ONE WIZARD TO ANOTHER
How Thomas A. Edison Found the
Diary of Samuel +. ID. Morse.

How Thomas A. Edison Found the
Diary of Samuel +. ID. Morse.
In the middle "S0's" Thomas A.
Edison took a house in Gramercy
Park, New York City, where he found
himself very well situated for the leis-
ure which he always enjoys, being by
nature a reposeful man and not the
grinding dynamo that people so often
fancy him. Few things suit better the
mood of idleness than 10 poke aim
lessly around an old house that has
its legible traces and signs of human
occupancy, and thus one day Edison
found himself in the garnet of the
house, where some old furniture had
been stored, a writer in the Metropolis
says. Opening one of the drawers, he
saw lying within a fiat oblong book
labeled Daily Journal" To his
establishment this proved to be moth
ing less than an original diary kept
by Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor Of
the universal system of telegraphy
which bears his name. The entries
belonged to a brief but most interest,"
ing period of his life, the year 1SAs,
supplemented by transcripts of Inn
portant correspondence dated back as
far as 1S43, when the electromagnetic
telegraph system was being construct
ed between Washington and Balti.
more
Edison put the book away carefully
and took 1t with him when he estab
/ lished himself at his present country
home in New Jersey. He has now
placed ii in the hands of the Ameri-
can Institute of Electrical Engineers,
with the remark in his accompanying
letter of July %. 1909: "As this APP
pears to me to be matter of great
scientific ana public interest, feel
that this journal should be placed
where 1t may be accessible to others,
and l therefore take much pleasure
in forwarding the same herewith and
in presenting 1t to your institute in
the hope that it may be deemed worthy
of receiving a place among the me-
mentos of the telegraphic art in your
library"
That Edison himself, the great tel
egraph inventor OF our age, who stands
next In line TO Franklin and Morse
as master OF the electrical forces.
should have CHANGED thus casually on
lost relic of his predecessor is, to
say the least, a notable coincidence.
