CordOva, Alaska, June 12.-Mount
Katmai still continues to. pour out hot
ashes, pumice stones and sand which
is scattered over the country for many
miles, causing much suffering in settle

lives. Other volcanoes in the cham, In
Guiding Mount Redoubt and ulamma,

The steamer Sampson brings news
that Seldova is safe.
Cordova was in a shower Of fine
volcano ashes for hours. There is
considerable apprehension felt here
for the various revenue cutters and
it is believed that much property in
Kodiak has been destroyed. It is
practically certain that the Kodiak
wireless station has been destroyed,
otherwise the revenue cutter Manning
could get into communication.
Kodiak and Woody Island villages
are under a foot of ashes as a result
Of the eruption of Katmai volcano, be-
ginning Thursday afternoon last, and
continuing 4S hours. No lives were
lost there, but it is feared terrible

No one has the faintest idea how
when or where life began. There
are all sorts Of theories, but no alb
solute certainty on the subject So
far, no experiment has succeeded in
producing life from non-living matter
Almost the last words that the great
Huxley wrote was to the effect that
the theory Of spontaneous genera
ton" was a failure Many claims
have been advanced by those seek
ing to produce life in the laboratories
from various sorts of inanimate mat
ter. but in every case the claims
have gone up in smoke. We do not
know what life is or how it originated.
And the probability is we never will
know.
