 The tin can is a humble and homely thing, but as friend of man, it beats the dog all hollow, and is strong rival of the horse. When the tin can is filled with early June peas, or July corn, or Michigan peaches. or New Eng Hand succotash, it mitigates the horror of winter to an enormous extent.
 The man who discovered how to can food has beep one of the benefactOrS of his race. He has made it possible for the explorer, |the prospector and the railroad surveyor to push on into trackless wastes, living on canned goods, and retracing their steps to civ ilization by means of the empty cans.
 In all parts of the world the tin can is the sign of civilization. The sands of the Sahara may be trackless and unbrOken, but if a pile of extinct and dejected tin cans are discovered, if is a sign that man has been there, and has passed on.
 Man has explored Australia and the Chinese deserts with the help of tin cans. He has left empty bean cans in Madagascar, pre- serve pear cans inThibet,and Chilli con carne cans under the caves of the north pole. He has made life in Alaska endurable with the aid of can opener, while the un- tanned native of Africa eats American string beans and sweet potatoes, decOrates his ankles with empty cans. and plastefs Himself with the nine-colOred la belS.
 There was a time when it was profitable to raise only so much vegetables and fruit as could be at once inferred in the human stomach. Nowadays. however, most of the crop is put in cans. Each year the ingenious canncr discovers a method of canning something new. Everything that grows in America and almost eV- erything that can be killed and boiled is now canned. but there is a vast liclu in other continents. There is no reason why canned haggis, whale steak and ele- plants foot cannot be added to bills of fare. We are keeping far-otf people from starv- ing With American prunes and pumpkins, and should be allowed ;o buy wa!rus flipper and polar bear steak at the grocery stores in return.

kATh|AI CAUSED
 r -.- .a,.a~ce~> :. BAD WEATHER
The Discovery Is Made That voI-- canic Ash Causes Cold
 Weather.

| Hat COlu NcdIS are uuc t' Nol- canic dust is the curious discov- cry made by Professor C. q. Ab- bot, director of the astrophysical Laboratory of the Smithsonian ln- stitute, of Washington, D. c. His conclusions are published ] in a pamphlet called 'Volcanoes and Climate,' just issued by this institution. From this it appears that the remarkably cool summer which we experienced last year
 must be attributed to volcanic dust.
 The professor made this dis covery while observing the sun at Bassour, Algeria, for the pur- pose of comparing temperatures with those taken at oMunt Will son, California. He was work ing on the hypothesis that the amount of heat given off from the suns surface varies in different years. While this hypothesis has not been disproved, it has been considerably modified by his re- cent observations.
 He was puzzled to observe a very persistent reddish haze in the sky above Bassour. Observa- lion showed that it. could not be a vapor cloud. Reports from Mt. Wilson informed him that sin gular haze was visible ,herc. In- vestigalion proved that this could only be due to the tremendous |eruption of Mount katmai, Alas ka, which occurred June $, 1912. A long series of intricate call culations indicated that the VOL canic dust in the atmosphere re- duced the amount of heat receiv- ed from the sun by about 10 per cent. It could produce fall of several degrees fahrenheit--per- haps five or six--from the mean average temperature of the year. Although the eruption of Mt. katmai has attracted compara- lively little attention. because it occurred far away from thickly Ipeopled regions. it was, neverthe- less, of a most tremendous char acter. There is every reason to believe that the eruption of Mt. Pelee, whcih caused such univer- sal distress, was but a trifling natural disturbance compared to 1 that of Mt. Katmai. This latter eruption deposited a foot of ash Us a hundred miles away. When ii is remembered that this de- pnsit was spread for at least that distance in every direction the enormous quantity may be gaug- ed.
 i The column of dust above the crater was estimated to be 50 miles high. The United States revenue cutter Manning witness ed the eruption from distance of 100 miles. The sky became completely dark for 21 hours and ] the deck of the vessel was piled up with volcanic dust to such a depth that the men had great diff
 ficulty in freeing the ship from tn" burden.
 The dust was observed by Pro-
 lessor Abbott in Africa, 5000 miles away. fl days after the eruption, and at Mt. Weather, Virginia, 3,700 miles away, with
 in four days. It was not seen at Mt. Wilson, California, 2,5O0 miles away from Katmai, until i5 days after the eruption, because the prevailing air currents do not
 blow in that direction. The dust
 moves with the upper air cur
 rents.
