The quartz and ap- parentiy also the glaSsy feldspar are bright but the hornblende, augite and mica are of course not so abundant in the dacite and are less evident. An examination with 8 petrographic mil croscope confirms the conclusion that the dust is the product of the pull on the rocks through which they are escaping, and not the result or the explosive expansion of gases in h- quid lava
 That heat has recently risen in the core of Lassen Peak is evident rom the fact that whereas it was once cold now it is hot and steaning. When B. B. Hayden and were on the mountain in July, 1883, and slid down the 2,000-foot snow bank into Hat Creek on our way to Yellow Butte there was no sign of heat in the sum init of Lassen Peak. The rocky summit of the peak, strucK by many thunderboIts during storms and su- perflcialIy fused here and there by the lightning to. fulgerite, is still as it was then and the little lake is, there as in 1888, but the heat and the crater are new. MT. Rushing tells me that these new features appeared with the first eruption But the fact that the other hot places about the mountain are not yet percepubiy not ter indicates LnelL the T1SS O4 IcAnPS- rature is local and does not at least as yet affect the mountain mass Time alone can tell whag LaSsen is going to do. The volcano may sub side to its former quiescence. But we must not forget that it was only the top of the old Vesuvius that was blown off to make Monte Sonna and and the Vesuvius of to-day. Kra- katoa blew up from the very base with tremendous effect There seems no good reason eat present to fear a Krakatoan outbreak at Lassen Peak. but the part . of wisdom dictates close watch.
 ssEruptions as rule break out suddenly. Sight-seers will generally find the viewpoint from which Loom is's photographs were taken close enough if the mountain is active, but if all is quiet and the seeker after knowledge must see the crater for himself he should be sure to ascend on the windward side, and approach with caution"

EXPECT HIGHER RATES
 FOR WESTERN FREIGHT

Pittsburgh, July s.-Big shippers of rail freight to the Pacific coast and interrnediate points were over4oyed when information reached here to the effect that the tracn officials of sew eral transcontinental lines of railways and the interstate commerce. comaIis- sion have come to an understanding with regard to freight rates.
 This understanding is said to have been arrived at soon after the de cision of the supreme court of the United States recently, esta7olishing the right to the commission to regu- late rates. It's Jurisdiction confirmed, the commission invited the carriers to meet it on common ground with a view to determining equitable rates. The conference which followed ended Tuesday.
 While sufficient time has not elapsed to permit the formation of tar1ffs it is authoritatively stated that the un derstanding provides for the increase of rates many commodities to coast points in order to make them conform to the rates on the same ar ticles to intermediate points, and vice versa.
