California Volcano Active.

A correspondent of THE AMERICAN
sends the following communication from
Mineral, CAL, as OF interest to many
Hancock county people having friends in
that vicinity:
MINERAL, CAL, June 2i-The latest eruption
of Lassen to date, occurred at SIS y. IN. on
Friday, June 10, 1914. The eruption was ir
general very similar to all the preceding
ones except that vast clouds of steam or
smoke, dark in color, obscured the peak above
timberline. Usually the vast clouds thrown
out have risen high into the air, then after a
time drifted away depositing as they went a
shower of very fine volcanic dust or ash. No
flames are visible to those observers, who are
within few miles of the mountain, and it is
highly probable that those persons who re-
port flames and fire issuing from the crater
are deceived by the reflection Of the suns
rays upon the clouds.
Lassen is in eruption. Not a continuous
cloud OF smoke, but in violent outbursts that
follow period Of comparative quiet. A care
full study Of the record shows that each sue
ceedipg outbreak is more violent than the one
before ii.
The latest examinations showed the crater
to be 100 feet wide by 400 feet long. depth un-
known. Seven holes through the roof OF the
lookout station house, and all the windows
broken. Rocks thrown bodily quarter of a
mile.
Some rocks thrown over the crest of the
ridge and then rolling to point one half
mile from crater.
Since that, there have occurred three OF its
| most violent eruptious. The condition OF ~
| lookout's house is more easily imagined than
described.
The Forest Service has abandoned the idea
| of using Lassen Peak as a lookout station,
but Brokeoff Mountain, four miles distant
will probably be used.
! Contrary to reports, no one has been killed.
Mr.. Graham, of Manton, was seriously in
jured, but viii recover, Any sensible person
must admit that Lassen is full of posi-.
bilities, and that it may yet develop as some
| others have, but those people who have
friends or relatives living in Lassen's vi
cinity, need not be too badly alarmed by the
reports sent out by scare-head artists of
some great daily newspapers. J.M.S.

Keep Your Temper.

Which Of all the domestic virtues is
most essential to happy married lifei
The ability to keep ones temper. be-
yond all question.
There Is nothing which lends more
to misery. not only for its possessor,
but also for those about him. than an
ungovernable and unreasonable tenn
per. No one is worse to live with than
an Ill tempered man, except perhaps
an Ill tempered woman.
Bad tempered people completely spoil
the lives of those who associate with
them. The feeling of strain is ever
present One never knows Just when
the storm will break. although appar.
emily the weather, metaphorically, is
'set fair" Life In these circumstances
is burden almost beyond bearing.

Campbell and His Poem.

At dinner where Thomas Campbell
and Lord Nugent were present the con-
versation drifted from the use of Latin
words In English to moposyllabic
verse. Some one expressed a doubt
whether two consecutive lines compos-
ed Of words Of one syllable could be
found In our language. Lord Nugent
at once quoted:
by that dread name We wave the sword
on high
And swear with her to live. with her to
die"
Campbell said he did not believe In
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord Nugent said. From your
own Pleasure Of Hope" How do
you know that?" asked the poet II
know 1t all by heart" replied Nugent.
'I1l bet you a guinea you can't repeat
It." said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Nugent started declaiming. The
poet soon got tired and said: II see
you know the poem. Don't go any
further The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claiming
double stakes. and Campbell paid the
extra guinea In order to be spared the
recital of the poem which had made
him famous-which he had forgotten.

NEW REVENUE CUTTERS.
One Coming to Maine Coast Built to
Break Ice,


Two new revenue-cutters to be built for
Uncle Sam for safegue riding life and prop
erty will have a pre-eminent feature--ope
| an equipment for breaking ice and the
other device for making ice. One OF the
cutters will be used in southern waters
and the others field OF service will be in
the northern zone on the Maine coast.
The ice breaker will be used in north
ern waters. For this purpose she will be
made with blunt prow-shsrply slanting
to water line and keel so that she can run
| up on ice without mishap. She also will
| be double plated and will have q double
| framed bow.
| The ice maker will be used in southern
chimes, the chilly blocks to be used to cool
the water and lemonade for her crew.
| The underlying principle in the con-
struction of these additional good Samari-
tsns of the sea will be simplicity and
efficiency. One will cost s250, 700 and the
other will be turned out for s222, 900. The
| ship constructors of the United States
revenue cutter service under Captain How
ard Emory, have completed plans for the
l hS" tbtttA5s anu otAo hAoln
! are to be asked for in few days.
The ships will not be the largest in the
| service, but with their length OF 1861 feet
and equipment for all emergencies, all the
way from towing q disa bled vessel to
pumping her free from water, they. will
not be the least in point OF efficiency.
Every known device for saving life and
h. =
each cutter, is equipped it will be as fully
dressed as wrecking tug.
The vessels are to have greater steam
ing radius than any craft of their class.
Their coaling capacity will be sufficient to
carry them to Europe from American
shores and half way back. Portable
syphons will be brand new equipment,
and, operated with water instead OF steam,
will be capable OF pumping out water
from ship in distress at the rate of e, 600
gallons an hour and at any distance with
in a radius of 500 feet.
The tow lines on the new cutters will
have a clean sweep and encounter nothing
in the way of impeachment, portable or inn
movable. The bits and winches will be
placed better than is the case on the older
cutters.
There will be no filagree work on Uncle
Sans new cutters. There will be little
brass to clean, galvanized iron to be used
where possible as more utiiitarian. The
latest in wireless apparatus, line-throw-
ing guns and special surf boats will be
important features of the equipment.
Linoleum will be used instead of wood
flooring, excepting on the top deck.
The cutters are to be constructed to
make them seaworthy in all kinds OF
uyauthar
