 Captain McMullen, of the Dora, immediately took his bearings and determined it to be Mount Katmai on a rampage. When WI first observed the eruption we were just entering Kupreanof Straits between the islands of Afognak and Kodiak, and steaminS with a favorable wind and tide in the opposite direction from the vol cano. As we went along we could observe the cloud was coming to- wards us and by o'clock, three hours after we first observed the volcano, the cloud was directly overhead.
 MT. Thwailcs and Mr.. Dunklc used their cameras trying 10 get photographs of the cloud effect, some of which afterwards dcveI- "ped into splendid pictures.

Nichols being the manager of the cannery.
 asked Mrs. Nichols why she was down on the wharf so early i'll the day and she replied shc was afraid of the earthquakes; that there had been rumblings and that there had been quakes all night long and all morning. This was the first Information I had of the volcanic trouble. About 9 o'clock the second mate told me that at 3 a. m., while crossing Shelikof Straits, that he had ob- served volcano bclching out fire and smoke and felt trsmors of earthquakes. This information he gave me after the people at Iyak had told me.

DO AMERICANS SPEAK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

ferred Albany in all.
yet on the whole all these differences
are comparatively unimportant. Count In
the interminable squabble over the def
milton of 'homely.' the relative merits OF
lift or elevator, and the difficulty of MAX

quality Of the voice that constitute the
difference. And 1t is big difference.
THE American who has lived abroad
long enough to pick out his countrymen
in the streets of London knows that not
one of the diatribes that have been pro-
nounced against the American voice is
undeserved 1t is harsh, 1t is high pitch
ed. 1t is boisterous. and never are its I'M
lovely qualities more apparent than when
brought into contact with the soft voices
of Englishwomen. The stage American in
England illustrates that. He is. Of course.
a caricature No human being ever talk
ed as the stage American does in London,
just as no human being ever talked as the
stage Englishman does in New York. but
each serves his purpose, even n II is
CALLING to national pride TO hear him.
Even a first-class actor and producer
like Sir George Alexander cannot en-
tirely restrain the spirit of caricature.
Under his training the American doctor
in Bella Donna says that he will con-
slider it, that he is .vury' glad. and that
he comes there livery ebay. OFF that par
ticular stage it Is extremely unlikely that
any person. English or American. ever
said consider and as for 'vury' and
'uvery-
1T is well not to be too sure about
that. 1t is an English tradition that all
Americans do pronounce very and every
so, and that we say 'Amurican.' That ac-
cusation Is Indignantly denied by all
Americans. who declare that they never
heard such thing in their lives But a
little determination may convince
many of us that those words belong In
the same category as Oh say and 4

ously asserted that those were faults had
no need to guard against. since l never
said L guess. Whether l took to SHINING

MINISTER SELLS AUTOS
Canadian Clergyman Drops
Pulpit Duties to Sell
Motor Cars.

Rev. j. A. Mcmillan of Saskatoon, Sas-
katchewan. is probably the only minister
In Canada or the United States who
dropped his pulpit duties to sell motor
cars.
Rev. DR.. Mcmillan now has charge of
the Canadian northwest for a western
motor car company, and is rapidly devel-
oping into an efficient salesman Just how
he came to go into industrial life is an
interesting story.
Here 1t is:
Rev. DR.. Mcmillan became interested
in Canadian real estate and in following
this line he decided he needed motor.
He purchased a machine, and for q time
kept the car in a garage in Saskatoon.
One day, while in the garage, he was
told that his car was one Of the worst
makes on the market. Rev. Mr.. Nc
MILAN defended the machine, and that
night he took 1t home. He noticed that
the engine did not run as smoothly as
engines were accustomed to, and, on
reaching his destination. he found that
dirt and iron filings had been purposely
mixed with the oil in the crank case.
He extracted the foreign substances,
had been keeping the machine, declared
war on the proprietors. But 1t was a
business war-not gun fighting one.
Rev. Mr.. Mcmillan applied for the
agency for the car and got it. Then he
equipped a garage in such a manner that
his rival was forced to change his bust
ness methods.
And now, instead Of following ministry,
Rev. Mr.. Mcmillan is selling real estate
and motor cars.

Chesterfields.

local motorist raised a profound and
serious question the other day about
which many of the statesmen along au-

gentleman raise his hat to q lady when
the gentleman is riding in a motor carr
1t has been noticed on various occasions
that men seldom raise their hats. but
make a salute similar to that Of an en-
listed man to commissioned officer.
Some of the men along automobile row
believe that the motorist Is not exempt
from showing his good breeding and that
he should raise his hat.
Others declare that 1t is too much dan

ANCIENT HERB REMEDIES.
Information Of Belief in Efficacy
Found in q Thesis.

From the Boston Transcript
A very interesting example of the ira

the other day at the Hanover meeting Of
the Vermont Botanical Club. There had
been presented thesis for the degree of
NJ. ID. OF a century ago at Dartmouth,
brought to light a day or two before from
the college archives and a view Of the
vegetable remedies OF half a century
before. The case directly in point was,
however. the measles fern" This, by
the description Of an old account, was
identified and given its proper name, while
the account went on to say that measles
can be cured by an infusion of the
measles fern. This has measles itself OBJ
servable In "breakings OUT on the under
side OF the leaves. and was considered a
certain cure for the disease. There are
other FERNS" the old observer said,
(which have eruptions on the upper sur
face. but these are of no value at all for
the discussion, which ran over the list to
some extent of ancient herb remedies.
President Brainerd. who. by the way, was
Ior many years president OF the Middle

under DIR. ID. Mawson. has now com
pletely established the truth OF Wilkes
narrative. so long discredited by British
writer's. 1t has established two winter
camps on the coast of Wilkes Land.
The eastern camp IS on Adele Land
not quite as far east as Wilkes sur
vey extended. The other camp is about
100 miles to the west. Here is Ter

party of the Mawson expedition are

Termination Land.
These .momentous facts were not
clear in the brief and confused cable
dispatch announcing the arrival of the
Mawson expedition in Antarctica. They
are given in detail and most convincing .

The members of the boa ting and canoe
clubs are very much incensed at the Ii
cense allowed swimmers in the vicinity
OF the Aqueduct bridge. The crowd is
composed Of very small boys, youths and
grown men and they undress in sight OF
pedestrians on the bridge. Men arrayed
only in a small pair Of trunks crowd up
the stairway leading up to the bridge,
making their way out on the Orders Of
the bridge for a dive to the water below.
The Marathon swimming match of the
Nautilus Swimming Club, which takes
place Saturday. July 81, is attracting the
attention of the members of the aquatic
clubs along the river. The race, which is
from Chain bridge to a point just west
of the Aqueduct bridge, is two and seven
eighth miles long, and last year there
was twenty-eight starters, with twenty
three finishing, and this year 1t will be
much larger. Many of the contestants
have already gone over the course in far
better time than that made at the first
meeting, and 1t is predicted that several
southern records will be broken at the
coming race.

So the monks concluded that heaven was
ill-pleased at this violation of the bishop s
express wishes. Instead OF moving MS

over where 1t lay.
So much for the legend. History, how
ever. does not corroborate it, Authentic
records inform us that Saint Swithin's
body was formally translated from the
churchyard into the church itself. July 10

sarcophagus which still enshrines it with
out any lettering meteorological phe-

the period of the translation which tend
ed to show not merely that the saint and
his friends in heaven were satisfied with
the change, but that they had publicly
and privately signifed their desire that
it should be made.
A few years afterward the cathedral
at Winchester, which had originally been
dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul,
was rededicated to It's former bishop ana
present patron in the celestial hierarchy.
From that time until the middle Of the
sixteenth century it was known as Saint
Swithin's. Henry VIII arbitrarily Danish

Holy Trinity.
How far back the legend of st. Swithin
as a meteorologist may date cannot be
told with certainty. 1t was old. however,
in the Ehzabethan era. Ben Jonson al
ludes to it in his comedy of Every Man
