Crater of Bogoslov in AIeutians
Becomes Active and Cone
Emits Flames
FEARS FELT FOR EXPLORERS
Men on Revenue Cutter Tahoma
Warned to Postpone Land
ing During Eruption
Associated Pressl

SEWARD, Alaska, Oct. 14.-The fam
GUS Bogoslov volcano, in the Aleutian
islands, is in more violent eruption
than ever before, according to report
brought from the west by the revenue
cutter Tahoma, which arrived today.
Smoke and ashes are rising mile and
half above the crater, according to
triangulations made by the Tahoma's s
officers. Flames burst from the cone.
Lava is flowing down the sides, and
huge boulders are thrown high into the
air. A lake in the center of one of the
Bogoslov islands is boiling and dense
clouds of steam rise from the caldron.
SEA BIRDS PROBABLY KILLED .
The island was formerly rendezvous
for myriads OF sea birds, all of which
probably were killed, Not a live bird
was visible from the Tahoma, but great
numbers of dead ones f1oated in the
sea. The Tahoma anchored ten miles
from the volcano, not daring to ap-
proach near there, the cutters decks
being covered with hot ashes even
where she lay. The officers spent a
day in viewing the magnificent spec
tacle of the troubled mountain and in
making photographs.
While bound to Attu island, early in
September, the Tahoma's officers noted
recent and remarkable changes in the
topography Of the Bogoslov group, a
new island having lifted it's head where
deep water formerly had been and 9TH
er islands having diminished In size.
SAILORS WARNED OF PERIL
A party of volunteers under Lieut..
R. r. Waesche asked to be permitted
to land on the islands and make obser-
vations until the cutters southward
trip in october, but Chief Engineer
Berran, who knows the freaks of Bogo-
SLOW, warned the men of the peril of
the undertaking, and the proposed ex-
pedition was abandoned.
If the explorers had remained on the
island they must have perished, for
when the Tahoma returned the chief
peak was ablaze and the other islands
in commotion.

WATCH WRECKING
OF 77-YEAR-0 BRIDGE
Wash Fills Ferryboats When the
Structure Hits the River

WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct. 14,-With a
splash heard for several miles and wit
messed by thousands of persons who
thronged the banks of the Mononga-
hela river, the old wood bridge span
ming the stream from Brownsville to
West Brownsville was pulled into the
river last night, making a wash that
filled ferryboats, launches and skiffs
that had assembled to see the almost
century old bridge dismantled.
The bridge was built seventy-seVen
years ago, and recently was condemned
and closed to traffic. Old rope and
chain ferries will now be used until the
county and state authorities come to
an agreement on the division of costs
of new bridge.
The bridge was dismantled in a
unique manner. A large stern wheel
river towboat was attached to the
abutments of the bridge by six large
cables. The signal to so ahead was
given, the old covered structure trem-
bled and creaked a moment, and then
splashed into the water, throwing
waves several feet high upon the river
banks.
The structure was f1oated to the
shore, where it will be dismantled by
contractors, who purchased 1t recently

CHICAGO, Oct. IA. - Search of

which leaked out today.
Three vessels having general lake

A steamer from Canada was stopped

Disappeared Week Ago

CHICAGO. Oct. 14,-The body of
Walter B. Coles, president of the
Keefe-Coles Printing company. was

WILKESBARRE FAILS TO
GET COPYRIGHT OF NAME

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 14.-This
city's effort to have its name copy
righted has failed, owing to the oe-
cision of the register of copyrights IN
Washington that the city has no legal
right to the sole and exclusive pupll-
cation of its name.
The register of copyrights says IN
his decision: "In reply to your letter
of October 4, we beg TO say we can
not possibly think of any way in
which you could secure for the city OF
Wilkesbarre the exclusive right to It's

to be any principle or law which IN
sures to a city the exclusive right 10

this morning sentenced by Judge Aus
tin of the local superior court to pass

1oke at the time, but later he proved

The Eskimo Doc.

The lot of an Eskimo dog is a
hard one. In the first place he has
to earn his living by drawing
sledges. In the next place food is so
scarce that a dog is usually hungry,
often hungry enough to eat,his har-
ness, or, indeed. any bits of skin
and leather he can find. To prevent
this the men rub the leather cords
with tar. But in order to live at all
an Eskimo dog has to fight his way.
Whenever a pack of dogs get to-
gether they fight. The weak ones
are driven away or killed. The
strongest and iercest one, who can
thrash any or all of the Others is
known as the king dog. He has the
best place to lie on and his choice of
the food. A single growl from him
is like a growl from an emperor
whom all are ready to obey.

THE SARGAss0 SEA.
Mystery Of These Weed Covered WI.
ters In the Atlantic.

The Saragossa sea owes its exist,
ence to the great ocean rivers that
encircle it. On the charts this huge
system of ocean rivers forms an If
regular circle. In the center of it is
a great ellipse more than 1000
miles east and west and 1000 north
and south. 1t is like a vast lake in
the center of the Atlantic, but one
whose shores are ever moving
waters instead of stable land. 1t is
like the calm center of an immense
whirlpool. The far off deep sea cur
rents that sweep around its circum-
ference do not disturb the stagnant
waters within its boundaries. These
weed covered waters are forever
placid, except at rare intervals when
some vagrant storm swoops down
from the heavens and rufles their
surface. The atmosphere above is
usually as calm as the seas below.
The great rivers of the air, the
trade winds, pass this region by.
All sorts of small aquatic and in
sect life flourish around the borders
Of the Sargasso sea. There arc num-
berless varieties Of fish, molluscs.
shrimps, crabs and water fcas. AL
most invariably this life takes on
the protective color of the masses Of
yellow weeds in which it lives.
Some Of these inhabitants Of the
Sargasso sea are found nowhere
else. There is a transparent shrimp
that has wondrous eyes on the end
of long pedicels. These eyes are
manv faceted and each facet sheds
a brilliant greenish light and spark
les like a splendid gem. The water
f1eas are extraordinary also. Some
are totally blind, while Others 90 to
the opposite extreme and are nearly
all eve. Even the fishes are unique.
There are some that build nests in
which to hatch their Young. They
form the weed into huge balls about
the size of a Dutch cheese. The fish
binds these together with glutinous
threads which it exudes from it's
body. These threads are so strong
that a man cannot pull them apart
with his hands. One explorer who
brought up in a net one of these fish
nests found six small fish inside
