In CONSTANT FLOW
SAMOAN VOLCANO PoURS LAVA
INTO OCEAN.
Only -Four Years Old, But 1t is Easily
the Titap Of Them AlI-New
Coast Line is Being
Created.

In the island of Sayaii, in the Sa,
moan group, during an August night
in the year 1905 there arose from the
midst of a peaceful cocoa plantation
a volcano that in four years of its
still ceaseless activity has SEM forth
more molten lava than has any vol
al of which there is record.
To-day this flow of lava, in some
places 700 feet in depth, is filling up
the sea along a frontage of more than
seven miles, has destroyed about SO
villages and as many square miles of
what was once the most productive
area in all Samoa. From Apia, about
SO miles away on the island of Upolo,
1t Is sometimes possible to read at
night by the glare of the Savaiian vol
eano, whose twin pillars of vapor by
day become columns of red.
Above the even seething lake of fire
within the crater hangs a great Grim
son cloud, while eight miles distant
from the volcanic cone appears a less
er cloud, sometimes divided into many
columns of apparent fire. 1t rs but

pours a Niagara of fire over the cliffs

sea there is a Niagara of fire full ten
miles in width. As this molten lava
falls into the ocean, says Harper's
Weekly, it turns TO a fine black sand
and sinks, and so a new coast line is
being built up in water 800 to 400
feet deep.
This moving molten lake advances
at the rate Of four miles an hour. AS

they explode like Titanic bombs, and
this is taking place every moment

mile out in the ocean the water boils,
and from the crater still flows a

Never once since that night four

great mortality among them. There

II seems useless to say much TO this

g few suggestions in the interest OF
those who are not fools, but friends
and relatives of fools.
Unless you are an expert boatman.
do not take a boat ont on the waite.
and in no event unless you are able
to control all those who are in it.

RIGHTS TO TERM DIST UTED
Mexican Herald Ridicules App s~lIstion
of christian Nations" to the Pow
ers of the World,

A contemporary INDUCES in rash
speculations respecting the benefits to
accrue 10 the Ottoman empire when
1t shall be partitioned among The
Christian nations of Europe" re-
marks the Mexican Herald.
One fails to recognize any modern
nation which the designation fits.
Really Christian nations would not be
armed to the teeth. as it were, and
spend half their revenues in prepare
tons for war. Never since Chris
tianity came says a recent writer,
has there been a time when the
course of nations vas so marked by
violence and the power of aggression.
Opportunity and strength are recog-
nized as the sole guides for interna-
tional behavior. The most solemn
pledges are set aside without question
and the rupture of treaties is accept
ed almost without protest when the
power that breaks the treaty is
strong enough in itself or its allies
to secur the fruits of its violence by
threats of war. Blessed are the peace
Makers we are told; but if n great
power claims that blessing for the ac-
ton OF a fortnight ago, it must be
with a sardonic smile. When n mai
stops a quarrel by presenting a pistol
at the head of the injured party, he
may be described as a ~peacemaker of
a kind, but it is a peculiar kind. not
coming, we think, within the meaning
of the blessing"
The guiding principles of modern
nations are not those of Christ, but
rather those of Nietzche, the teacher
of the right of might and the glorifier
of brute force, who counsels the
trampling down remorselessly Of the
weak. The press of the world daily
tells of the bitter hostility of the
great nations and speculations as to
the future of aerial navigation revolye
around the employment of airships az
agents of destruction. The most ad-
yanced nations of the world are at
this moment concentrating seven
tenths of their energies upon the
means of fighting each other, in a war
which, when it comes, will shake the
world and give the yellow race its
chance to win new ground at the eX-
pense of white civilization.

Froq Industry in France.

iiiAApN =
1t is in France that the frog was
first generally used for food, and it is
in that country that the industry of
frog farming has been most largely de-
velOped. The green frog exists album
dainty throughout France wherever
there are marshes, ponds or sedgy mar
gins of rivers or bays that contain
fresh or slightly brackish water.
The best outfit for frog raising is
one or more shallow ponds or reser-
yoirs filled with grasses and other wa
ter plants. 1t should be SO situated
that the water al be partially drawn
off SO as to facilitate the labor of
catching. If, as is often the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left for a
year or two to propagate. If food does
not prove abundant the owner throws
in live earthworms, as the frog is a
carniyorous animal aud prefers the
food, whether worms, larvae or insects,
fresh and in normal, living condition.
If no frogs exist in the water they are
planted either living OF in the form of
g g which hatch when the water be-
comes warm in April.-Popular Me

Mockino Birds in Massachusetts.

The coming of a hooking bird to
Massachusetts is so rare that ven
those who have made a study of birds
are apt to be puzzled by the unfamil-
lar visitor. To such persons it will be
of interest to learn that a pair of mock
ing birds are making DuXbury their
ummer home this year. They were
first noticed several weeks ago, when
they made themselves at home about
a house in the southern part OF the
town. The beauty of their songs
brought neighbors to watch them. In
a few days they left the place, hav-
ing apparently found more to their lik-
ing a swamp near by at the bottom Of
an apple orchard.
Two enterprising nature students
spent an afternoon under these trees,
and they were rewarded by abundant
opportunities for observing the birds
which lett no doubt as TO tne;r lden-
tity. Their nest is probably in the
thicket OF the swamp, but no n wants
to risk disturbing them by hunting for
1t. They have improved their visit to
The north by increasing their roper
toire and have added limitations of
several northern birds 10 the long list
of songs they already had.-Boston

Truth of This Not vouched For.

In an Illustrated description of the
game of tennis "Simplicissimus"
says: Like all good things, lawn ten
mis- is of English origin. Marie Stu
art, while a prisoner, was compelled
to beat carpets which were hung over
a rail. Not contented with this hui
initiation, her sister, Queen Elizabeth,
once threw a dead mouse at the I'M
fortunate Marie while the latter was
beating carpets. The little defunct
rodent was caught on Marie's fail and
sent back over the rail, and was re-
turned to her by means of a fail in
the hands of Elizabeth, and thus the
game of tennis originated. Further
on in the same same description it is
said: Two sets are formed, and

Holland Lives Up to Her Pictures.

oP ~ ~ co.
Holland is one European country
that looks like her pictures. There
is no better use for the word quaint
than to apply it to Holland. The
farmers really wear wooden shoes.
The land really is diked. Black and
white Holstein cattle really pervade
the landscape. The men really wear
blue jeans shirts outside their trousers
as they work in the fields. On hun.
dreds of heads of women in any
crowd the silver hair baskets, covered
with lace net, really may be seen. The
girls and women are really red
checked, without artificial coloring.
The fields really abound with wild
flowers and windmills really sway
their gaunt, awkward arms In the
wind. There is no sham, no pomp
and %splendor, no fuss and feather in
the country. One gets the impression
OF a rugged, stimulating, simple.
kind-hearted, hopeful race in going
through Holland.-From William Al.

echoing the words but giving them a
somewhat different twist, saying them
not bitterly not sarcastically, but in

continued:

the number, but it isn't necessary to
