The Fury of katmai.
Scientists who have been studying the
eruption of the volcanic Mt. Katmai,
on the Alaskan peninsula. last year,
are reporting that it was one of the
six most terrific eruptions in the his
tory of the world. The sound of the
explosion when the top of the noun
tain blew off was heard at Juneau. 75G
miles away. The dust carried 900
miles. The Sulphurous fumes were
plainly smelt at Puget sound, 1900
miles away.
The fury of the eruption as observ-
ed at close range is described by a
scientist sent out by the National Geo
graphic society. In his report to the
society this scientist quotes John Z.
Thwaites. a passenger on the steamer
Dora, which was 55 miles away from
the volcano during the eruption.
Thwaites said:
And now began the real rain OF
ashes; it fell in torrents: it swirled
and eddied Gravity seemed to have
nothing to do with the course of the
fall The under sides of the decks
seemed to catch as much ashes as the
sides or the decks under our foot.
Bright clusters of electric light could
be seen but a few feet away, and we
had to feel our way about the deck.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
the man at the wheel could see the
compass through the thick dust that
filed the room. Lurid flashes OF light
ming glared continuously, while a con-
slant boom of thunder, sometimes CO.
inciding with the flash, increased the
horror of the inferno around us. AS
far as seeing or hearing anything per-
tanning to earth, we might as we'll have
been miles above the surface of the
water. And still we knew the sun was

studying the American capital, and
they told of the wonderful plans OF
Australia for its new federal city.
Canberra is to be shaped like a
dumb-bell, and the city, including the
narrow spindle of parks and boule-
ward which will connect the two main
portions will be so miles long. The
Australians expect 1t to surpass In
beauty any capital of the earth, in
GLIDING Washington and Paris.
There will scarcely be straight
line in the new city, except the lines
OF long avenues which will radiate
from the great parliament house and
end in parked circles. The streets be-
tween these avenues will follow the
lines of cencentric circles, so that the
street plan of the city will resemble
theatre-the straight aisles represent
ing the avenues and the curved rows
of seats the streets. The government
will own every foot of land to keep 1t
out of the hands of real estate specu-
lators. It has profted from the ex-
ample OF Washington in this respect,
for real estate speculation in Wash
ington caused the city to grow in an
entirely different manner than was
planned by the fathers who laid out

The Mares of Mohamr1ed.

In bygone days there was no more
enthusiastic breeder of horses than
the Prophet Mohammed. In the course
of time he became the owner OF vast
number OF mares and the point was
how to arrive at a selection OF the
very best. At last, says Country Life
he hit upon the following scheme:
For three days and nights the mares
were kept without water; then they
were loosed and as might have been
expected. tore madly off to their usual
watering place. Just as they were on
the very brink of the water the trum-
peter blew the war signal or assem-
bly,. Maddened with the thirst, the
mares forgot their training, all save
five, who, forgetting their own ur-
gent need, galloped back at once to

BETTER CITY RULE.

Since 1898, when the League of Wis
consin Municipalities was organized,
it has held fifteen successful conven-
tons. The sixteenth is in session this
week and there are indications which
justify the belief that it will be the
most successful of all, comments the
Christian Science Monitor. At each of
these conventions mistakes have been
reported, and some one has been able
to point out remedies for them and
preventives of them. 1t seems tenable
to say that 16 years in American civic
marks a century of progress. Only by
looking backward can this be realized.
Within 16 years American municipal
politics and management have been all
but revolutionized. but considering the
highest achievements made in this d.
rection, perfection or anything ap-
prOXimating perfection is yet to be at
tanned. The encouraging thing is.
however, that it now seems to be only
a question of time until municipal gov
eminent in the United States, general
ly speaking, will be on a plane where
it will not be deemed extravagant to
speak of it as creditable.
~ AStOASAA4s AAldllhS u It's League OF
municipalities. has made excellent
progress in this direction. All of it's
towns and cities are governed and
managed better than they were 16
years ago: some of them have made
progress beyond anything the civic re-
formers of 16 years ago could have
dreamed Of.
1t speaks encouragingly for that
state. and inspiringly for other states,
that the interest in municipal better
ment aroused in 1898 has never seri-
ously tagged; that it is to all appear
ances at greater height in the beau
tiful capital and university city of
Madison this week than ever before.
So long as this interest is maintained
misrule of communities must necessar-
ily decline. II is only where public
indifference prevails that civic ad-
Yancement falters

GOLD AND WAR.

This country is heavily stocked with
gold. Its currency passes current for
face value. whether in paper or silver,
and. therefore, government money and
government bonds have a high rating
everywhere. War in Europe will
mean a decline in the rating of the
current money of each nation and of
the bonds of the various governments.
BY gathering into their treasures an
unusual stock of gold security the
various governments are able to keep
q close check upon their promises to
pay and hold them close TO a parity
with gold. Were they TO neglect this
precaution the market value would
fall to such an extent that many hold
ers OF government securities would
try to cash them at a discount and
this would lower the market rating.
Governments so affected would be
compelled to borrow money and offer
higher interest than the common
rates.
Financial institutions of all ma
tons profit by the experience of the
past. Upon the slightest menace of
war. securities show a decline and
banking institutions hastily provide
themselves with gold to steady the
market and sustain public confidence.
