This Krakatoa Eruption
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY
THE eruption of Krakatoa. down

THE eruption of Krakatoa. down
J. in the Sunda straits, which took
place twenty-nine years ago, August
2S. 1853. still ranks first among the
appalling commissions OF nature.
Krakatoa was a volcanic mountain
midway between Sumatra and Java.
but had been inactive since 1850. In
the spring OF 1888 1t hegan to show
signs OF activity. On August 2s
on the ssth came the eruption that
fairly shook the planet
The eruption was followed by an
appalling darkness, with downpour
of mud and sand. Then came a tre-
mendous tidal movement, the water
receding and then returning and over
whelming the people on the shores.
The tidal wave was fifty feet high;
When investigation became possible
IT was found that Krakatoa had burst,
throwing one part eight miles 10 the
north and hurting the other part com
pletely over Lang island, seven miles
to the northeast.
The great mountain was literally
by the fact that over the spot where
the exploded volcano had stood the
sounding line found depth OF one
hundred and sixty fathoms. OF nine
hundred and sixty feet. Other sound
ings showed that the bottom OF the
ocean for miles around had been
changed. Islands that had never been
seen before appeared and others en-
tirely disappeared.
The damage to human life, done
chiefly by the monster tidal wave, has
never been definitely estimated. but
II is known that at least one hun
dred thousand perished. The loss was
probably far in excess Of that num-
Der.
Some idea OF the force Of the ex-
ploslon may be had from the fact
that the waves that were started by
1t and driven east and west from
the narrow straits travelled across the
oceans and met on the other side
OF the globe. Indeed. II was proved
that these waves crossed at the An
tipodes and encircled the earth no
less than four times before they got
back to normal.
Strange as II may seem, the de-
tonation accompanying the explosion
was felt three thousand miles away
while. from It's very immensity. Il was
almost inaudible to the dwellers in
the immediate vicinity.
ond Wonderful, too. were the meteor.
dread calamity. The sun did not rise
or set In the old familiar way for
more than a year after the explo-
sion. The clouds appeared to be
touched with strange lurid tints and
the blue OF the heavens did not look
as II bad looked before. The super
stitious in all lands felt that the
very laws OF nature were changing
and some imagined that the world
was nenring it's end
The eXpla na ton. later on given. WAS
that the queer phenomena were due
to the fact that the awful explosion
had filled the whole upper stmo-
sphere with thousands of tons OF tine
dust which eDcircled the entire earth
and changed the aspect OF the heav-
ems.

An enterprsing girl might make a

A Great Emperor
By THOMAS TAPER.

IT HE late Emperor of Japan has

East The story of Japan during
his reign is the story Of country
that has become modernized at a
remarkably rapid rate. A few years
ago Japan was a land Of feudalism;
today it stands for all that is in
cluded under up-to-date civilizs-
ton.
The Emperor Mutsuhito was
called TO the throne when he was
Is years of age, in February, 1861.
Before Mutsuhito' 5 time the en-
perors Of Japan were figureheads.
In 1889 be brought about the end Of
the monarchy and gave to his peo-
pie a constitution Thus he became
ruler IN the truest sense.
One of the first forward steps OF
the emperor was 10 grant audience
to the ambassadors Of foreign ma.
tious. This had never before been
done
Next. he undertook to bring his
country into single unit Of polit-
ical strength. The two provinces
of Japan were united and TOXIC
was made the capital. This was
not accomplished by merely rails
ing the royal hand and saying,
"Get it be done" It created a re.
bellion. and the emperor g enemies
were powerful. But he skillfully
brought order out of confusion, anu
instead Of beheading those who had
opposed him. Mutsuhito promoted
many of them to offices of respon
