Volcanic Dust in the Air.

From many points in America and
Europe come reports Of an unusual
turbidity OF the atmosphere, which be-
gan early last summer and still con
tinues. This is manifested in a
diminution OF the intensity of solar
radiation, a hazy appearance Of the
sky, and the presence of Bishops
ring around the sun. From Dublin
Sir John Moore wrote last August:
THE sky is constantly covered with
thin film OF uniform cloud in which
no halos develop, and through which
the sun, moon and stars shine with a
subdued. sickly brightness"
Observers in Russia, Switzerland.
Sweden and Germany, as well as
America report an unusual lack OF
blueness in the sky, These pheno-
mena are attributed to the presence
Ia the upper atmosphere Of an inn
mense pail of dust arising from the
explosive eruption Of Katmas volcano.
In Alaska, last June.
Similar effects we're observed after
the eruptlons Of Krakatoa and Mount
Pele, and in those cases lasted for
some years,

Some educators hold that it is the

tics prove that this economic factor is
often ignored in home training. Some
mothers are appalled, by the serious

joys and liberties OF society, therefore
the child must be turned over to the
teacher, and the school must aid the
mother in her efforts to supply practi-
cal training, and help give to the home
that quality OF stimulation and joyous
ness which makes the young and the
old seek the home freely.
Investigators have estimated that
the consumption OF 95 per cent of all

sumption is the home. she should have
