MARK TWAIN AMONG PIRATES.
Humorist Treated to Huge and Real
 istic Joke at Bermuda.

Some interesting "reminiscences or Mark Twain are written by Marion Schuyler Allen, the woman in whose house, in Bermuda. he stayed during the last months of his life.
 During his first visit to our home. she writes, a touch of the picturesque signalized step in our acquaintance, just such a scene as might have come out of one of his own books. The flagship Euryalus was entertaining, and we had received word that some thing unusual and mysterious was to take place during the afternoon. So we persuaded Mark Twain to go with us, on a particular boat which we had been warned not to miss As the steady old steamer with it's burden of light humanity calmly steamed through the Narrows, we were startled by the appearance of a ships long boat, boasting formidable gun and full e fierce-looking pirates. They were armed to the teeth and wildly gesticu- lating. Our ship was hailed. but on receiving no reply three shots were fired across our bow, which quickly brought us to anchor. They boarded us so eagerly that they failed to secure their own craft firmly, and she was 
 and sank in the channel. They swarmed over our ship in their blood thirsty array, capturing the officers, two of whom were made to walk the plank in full regalia They hauled down the British flag and flew the skull and crossbones in it's place. And when the crew and passengers were thoroughly intimidated, they ordered the ship to proceed to the Pirates Lair. officially known as the Euryalus, that awaited her guests, drawn up to the jetty, at the backyard The joke was wonderfully well done, the costumes most realistic, and the acting so good that one felt transposed into the far away days of Bermuda's early history, when tradition says that to be cap tured by pirates was nothing unusual and almost to be expected in these wa ters The refreshing piquancy of it all appealed to Mark Twain, and this de- lightful adventure charmed him ex- ceedingly.-Strand.

MANUFACTURING IN NEW YORK.

Eliminating what are known as neighborhood, hand. and building i'm dustries, New York City had four years ago 25,93S factories within its limits. The probability is that they have in- creased since then about 20 per cent. since that was approximately the rate of increase during the four years be- tween 1904 and 1909. Leaving out of the calculation the normal increase, and speaking of the latest figures ob- tainable, those of 1909, as of the pres ent day, New York produces manufac- tured goods to the value of $2,029,693, = 900 a year. The vlaue added by man. ufacture, that is, the value of the pro- ducts less the cost of material, is $937,- 53S,000. This large output explains the influx of buyers at certain seasons of the year, as it does the presence of

thousands of salesmen at others, since the goods must be sold by the manu- facturers, who must also buy from within and without the city not less than $1,092, ,155,000 worth of goods a year from their factories.
 If you speak of the operatives in New England going to their work. you picture few thousands in a town or city vending their way to the factories, dinner pails swinging in their hands. In New York there are 544, 4,0O2 wage earners passing through the city streets every morning to take their places at bench or table or machine, while ac- companying them are 97,453 salaried officials and clerks. Hardly a small army, but one of not inconsiderable size. They draw more than $600, ,000,- 900 a year in salaries and wages.
 In all New England-the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is land, Maine, New Hampshire and Yer mont-there are only 25,351 manufac- turing establishments. In them are employed 1,101,290 wage earners, who turn out $2,670, ,065, ,000 in manufactured products, the value added to the raw material of manufacture being $1,193,- 76S,00O. New York is catching up with New England, since the number of her wage-earners is growing at the rate of 1922 Der cent, against New England's S III per cent; in value of products at the rate of B per cent, against BIS per cent, and in value to goods added by manufacture, 32.3 per cent. against 312 per cent for New England
 Just a small word for the despfsed borough of Brooklyn in the matter of manufacturing. The dweller in Man haitian thinks, or affects to think, that Brooklyn is only the dormitory of New York, place of rest after a hard days work or an evening in Manhattan. If Manhattan workers only sleep there, some others are pretty lively during the day, for that borough has 123, ,SS3 wage -earners and 15,S44 salaried off cials and clerks engaged in its factor ies. They produce in 5,21S establish ments a total of s417,223,00O of manu- factured goods, of which sum $1S2,- 091, 1000 is the result of their labor Outside of New York state there are only four states in the union whose manufacturing interests are as large as those of Brooklyn.

Jects, remnants of an ancient Indian culture buried in them, it is known that they are at least 1000 years old, and probably considerably more. Since these graves were made. the Caldera river has not cut it's chan nel more than ten feet deeper over about one-tenth of the total width of it's valley bottom. This is equivalent to a deepening of the whole width of the valley one foot.
 Prom these data it is seen that the minimum rate of excavation of the Caldera Valley. under, approxi- mately. present conditions, would be one foot per thousand years. At this rate the present valley, which is $50 feet deep, would require 350.000 years for excavation. However, dur ing the first few centuries excavation of it went on much more rapidly than now. This is due to the fact that in falling through the atmos- phere the coarser rocks of the vol canic debris dropped faster, and are more concentrated in the lower part, while the upper parts of this forma- ton are chiefly of fine ash. Hence the work of washing out Caldera Valley to it's present form was not 1rauSnt WlIn nucn QllIlCuJy WtlHG the river was cutting through this fine top material Later, the river channel became somewhat choked by the boulders that accumulated in it as tee canyon was cut deeper and the work of erosion was thus much retarded.
 Tt is also known that volcanic ex- plosions are generally followed by great downpours of rain. Such floods must be considered in the time esti- mated, for they would greatly hasten the early work of erosion. In order to allow for the more rapid digging out of this canyon by the stream, in the early stages of it's history, there might be deducted 33@ per cent from the above mentioned esti- mate of time. In estimating con- servatively, the minimum tfpe since the last eruption, 50 per cent may be deducted from the first estimate of $50, 900 years, leaving a period of To- 900 years as the least time since this kingly mountain fell away from the pyrotechnic grandeur of its former estate and became a dead-a good. volcano"

under the auspices of the Smithson- Commission, and the United States Geological Survey
 The full results" pr. Mcdonald says in the Canal Record, "of the journey will be published later by the Smithsonian Institution. In this issue the so-called Chiriqui volcano will be briefly treated.
 Perhaps the most interesting new thing discovered about the extinct volcano was the evidence that indi- cated about the number of centuries that have elapsed since the last vol canic outburst. It will be remembered that about year ago the newspapers told how an eruption of Chiriqui volcano had flung death and destruc- tion far over Western Panama This proved to be a newspaper story for the last explosive outburst of the mountain did not occur in 1912, but many hundreds of centuries earlier.
 ''The majestic Chiriqui Peak stands IS a king among mountains. Tower- ing over 11,000 feet above sea level, it overlooks all the other rugged crests of western Panama. From it's summit, on clear day, one can see the wide coastal plain of David meeting the lowlying shore of the Pacific, forty miles away. Streams like loose-lying silvery therads flung oceanward, tie the mountains to the sea, and on thier banks here and there, are distant specks of little na- tive villages. Scattered grazing herds dot the nearer plains, and a tiny cloud, barely visible in the blue haze of the distant valley, tells of a train of bull carts toiling from David out to the coffee planta tions, near the foot of the mountain.
 Turning then to the northward, one may behold lessening waves of mountains dimming in the distance, where they meet the wide embay- ments of the caribbean shore. In the bays and beyond the headlands dark island spots are scattered along the 1andward margin of the sunlit sea. These remnants of a submerged mountain group stand like a strug- gling line against the foam crested trade wind waves.
 Gazing out over this pleasing pie ture, ones aesthetic sense may be slightly shocked when he realizes that he is only on the top of an ash heap, for this mighty peak was built up by emanations of volcanic ash and debris, from a crater, or group of craters. The last explosion, or series of explosions, was more violent than the rest. for it blew the top off the mountain, and scattered the debris far and wide, burying the sur rounding country under some hun dreds of feet of volcanic ash and ejectamenta. Later, streams formed on the new surface, and these slowly entrenched themselves in the new volcanic formation. The Ca1dera ri- yer thus excavated for itself a canyon that is $50 feet deep and about a mile wide-a vaster trench than Gull ebra Cut, and all done by a river, without drill, powder, or steam shO- vel. In the flat. wide bottom of this canyon, close to the bank of the stream, are some old Indian graves, and near by are some carved stones, or 'piedras pintadas.'
