oreo on. Great Volcano.

The highest mountain now existing
in Oregon, Mount Hood, is only IL
225 feet high, but there was a tiYe.
probably before the dawn Of life upon
the earth, when great volcano
lowered far above Mount Hood, and
probably several thousand feet. This
was the great Mount Mazama- But
thousands Of years ago this mountain
disappeared into the bowels of the
earth, and all that is now left Is the
huge rim around Crater Lake, the in
side walls OF which are nearly. 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The crater is about six miles wide,
and the lake within 1t Is Ii some
places 1000 feet deep.

In vaccinating for colds the physi-
clan employs a preparation of the
germs by which the trouble Is
caused. These germs are propagated
by billions in beef broth, and then
killed by heating the fluid to boiling
point.
Being dead, they can ID no harm,
but they contain the specific poison
OF the disease, which, when intro.
duced into the circulation by the by
podermic syringe, starts the cells OF
the body to making an anti-po1son
deadly to living germs Of that particu'

Thus an immunity to the latter is
