FATHER WAS WIFE's ADMIREF
Son Attacks and Beats Parent Who
Comes to Visit Him After FIJI
teen Years Of Separation.

San Bernardino. Cal.-When Oscar
Johnson was about to enter his home
he saw stranger embracing his wife.
The husband seized brick. rushed
into the house and struck the stranger
such a tremendous blow on the head
that he was knocked unconscious and
may have suffered fractured skull.
Then Johnson investigated and
found that the unconscious man was
his own father. o. w. Johnson. Of
Peoria. ILL.,. whom he had not seen for
fifteen years. and who had come here
to surprise his son with visit.
When Mrs. johnson saw her hus-
band strike his father she went into
Mysteries and became threatened with
complete nervous breakdown. She
declared she would seek a divorce
from a husband whose jealousy was
80 unreasonable and whose suspicious
were SO unfounded.
Johnson said he would take a sec
ond look before he leaped again. and
sought a physician. who probably will
attend both the wife and father for
some time.

TT was this way. Y'see. we get our
potatoes from farm near LAGRANGE.
Ill. Today we got new mess Of
them. Our cook started to cut up
enough for lunch. On one potato the
knife stuck. My wife was passing.
She Investigated. 1t was tougher than
a green potato. My wife and the cook
broke the potato open and there was a
silver dollar. There was some excite

they were Just ordinary. everyday po-

CRATERS ARE QUIET

continuous that 1t has been impossible
to witness the phenomena and their
results except at long range.
There was no volcano where these
eruptions. beginning in August, 1905.
were centered. All the many vol
canoes in the island had been quies-
cent for over century. Suddenly
volcanic vents were opened on the
floor Of a deep valley about eight
miles from the northeast coast OF Sa-
vail The whole valley was soon filled
with lava. The ejecta built up a ridge
OF lava. about 1000 feet thick, where
the valley had been; and above the
ridge arose mountain of outpourings
1000 feet high. to which the name of
Matavanu was given. Over 80 square
miles Of the island were finally COW
cred to various depths with the fluid
lava. destroying many native houses
with their areas OF cultivation.
It has been estimated that at times
the outpouring of lava from the center
Of eruption amounted to from 1000 to
1000 tons a minute. The coral reef.
about five miles from the shore. is the
outer boundary Of the lagoon between
the coast and the reef The lagoon
has been entirely filled with lava for
distance OF about fve miles along
the coast and long lava ridge was
built up in the sea beyond tho coral
reef. The neighboring salt waters
became a superheated caldron. killing
millions Of corals and fish: and many
fish. thus cooked. were collected and
eaten by the natives.

Violent Eruptions In Islands Of

Scientists Say Centuries Are Likely to
Pass Before There viii Be An.
other Flow Of Lava From
Volcano.

Ban Francisco.-The volcanic out
bursts that for over six years have ter
rorized the Island OF Savaii, In the Sa-
moan group. have ceased at last.
These eruptions have been almost In
cessant. and there is no record Of any
other volcanic center that has been
SO violently active for 80 long time.
All the terrific energy OF the Mata-
vanu volcano seems now to have been
expended. DR.. X. Sapper, DR.. w. Gre
vel and other students of volcanic phe-
nomena express the opinion that there
probably will be no other eruption Of
Matavanu for another century and
perhaps never.
The ground for their belief that the
volcanic energy has been entirely ex-
hausted is that since the first month
OF 1911 there has been a gradual and
uninterrupted decline Of energy, until
every trace Of 1t finally disappeared in
October last
In August last the lake Of molten
lava was covered with a hard crust
but cracks in Its surface still revealed
the rosy light OF the superheated mat
ter below. and through one or another
volcanic vent little smoke was still
rising. Three months later cold sur
face covered everything. There was
not trace of smoke. not a sulphurous
odor. no sign Of fluid lava. nothing ex-
cept little steam here and there.
So this is the end. perhaps for gen.
erations. Of the remarkable phenom-
ena that specialists have Travelled from
Europe to study. The trouble has
