She has been the family laundress ever

to start In this week as cook, but
Mandy insisted she had to stay home to

Lee is going to work my corn and po-
tatoes for me, and the rest Of his time is

Jane Felt the Burden.

Jane never said much ABOUT II, Dut 1
know now, as I must have realized
then, that this thing preyed heavily on
her mind. I think I have spoken sew
era1 times about the change that has
come over Jane since we moved to the
country. In the city she always was
quiet and reserved, and seemed to
shrink from contact with people, espe-
cially from making new acquaintance.
The thing that made her so. have no
doubt, was the same thing that made
me sullen and irritable by turns. that
made drudgery of my daily work and
troubled my sleep at night. Since COM
ing to the country Jane has blossomed
forth into an entirely different sort Of
woman. Instead of avoiding people,
she cultivates them eagerly, and
today of shyness or excessive reserve.
Certainly, am no longer sullen, and
am not often irritable. On the con-
trary, 1 am what our British friends
would call 'bloomin' hoptomist."
Jane undoubtedly is right in the con-
quickly, for l certainly will not have
much idle time hanging heavy on my
hands. There Is lot to be done be-
fore I can give up my government Job
and depend on the eighteen acres to
feed and clothe my family and educate
the children. Twelve of the eighteen
acres is not farm land at all. within
any practical meaning of that term.
Some of it is covered with mber some
with brush and briars. and some that
is clear is clear only because the soil
is SO poor and thin it will hardly grow
ragweed. 1t is going to take work and
money and time to make these acres
productive, and it will take more work
and money and time to build fences
and put up needed buildings.

and some of 1t was carried over 450 miles from the volcano. The deposit varies in thickness from 300 feet near near the volcano to ali inch or two at the margin of the area covered by it. A rough estimate indicates that over 10 cubic miles of material was elected at the time of this eruption. During the eruption of Katmai volcano in southwestern Alaska in June, 1912, about cubic miles of ash was elected, and about the same amount fell from the Krakatoa eruption of 1883. This Yukon eruption is therefore compara- ble in intensity with some of the larg- CT eruptions of historical time. All the available information about this subject is summarized in a paper en, titled An ancient volcanic eruption in the upper Yukon basin," by Stephen R Capps, issued by the United States Geological Survey as Professional Pa per 95-D.

VOLCANOES AR [ ], BUILDING UP :. NEW ISLANDS

There is always something facinat- ing about the study of volcanoes. Those in Alaska still claim the atten- ton of scientists, although the lay mans interest is only aroused through some violent outburst above the or dinary.
 Most of Alaska's soil has been built by being ejected from the bowels of the earth through the numerous vol cano vents. Formerly these worked overtime from the panhandle in South eastern Alaska to the Arctic, and no one can even imagine the grandeur and sublimity of the scene when they were working full capacity.
 Scientists are still studying the live chimney vents to the westward where new islands rise out of the Pacific and where the underground forces are evi- dently trying to construct another mainland.
 The latest government bulletin issu- ed has the following to say regarding volcano ash in Alaska:
 Every traveller on the upper Yukon river has noted a conspicuous white bed, to inches in thickness, that occurs on the river banks. This is made up of volcanic ash derived from a volcano located in the northern mar. gin of the St. Elias range more than 100 miles to the south. Though geo. logically speaking the material is of recent age, yet it was probably erupted 1,400 years ago. There are, of course, no historcal records of this eruption but in the course of explorations in Alaska much has been learned about the distribution and thickness of the material elected. It originally covered an area of over 140,000 square miles

DEAD ST0WAWAY
WAS RANCH OWNER
German from Montana Killed
in Coal Bunker as He Tried
to Reach Germany.

Information from Glenesilic, Mont,
yesterday confirmed the Identification
of the man found dead on Saturday in
q coal bunker of the Hollsnd-America
liner Nieuw Amsterdam at Hoboken.
He was Charles q. Heuser, forty-two
years old, a ranch owner OF Glenesizic,
who leased his ranch 10 return TO Ger
many to fight.
Herman Steneck, Of the Steneck
Trust Company, in Hoboken, said the
dead man came to the bank late Fri
day afternoon, and inquired if il we're
possible for him 10 purchase an Amer
lean passport. He had become dis
gusted, he said, with the treatment Of
the German cause by American public
opinion, and had decided TO return TO
Dusseldorf, whence he emigrated
twenty-seven years ago.
According TO the story told 10 the
Hoboken police by Steneck, the dead
man volunteered the information that
he had made arrangements with one Of
the officers aboard the Nieuw Amster-
dam TO be slowed away for the con-
sidcration OF $40 in advance and sl5
after landing in Holland. He changed
some American money into German
and Dutch currency at the bank.
The Hoboken police are satisfied that
the man met death accidentally. They
believe he went TO sleep in the coal
bunker on Friday night A coal barge
pulled up alongside and filled the
banker, burying Heuser before he could
escape. His body was found by a
stoker just before the liner sailed for
Holland.

Simplification of Administra.
ton Aim of Bill To Be In
trOduced To-day

/ Albany, Feb. 21.-Abolition ef the
o,fce Of fiscal supervisor OF state char
tiles and the creation of q board OF
regulation Of state institutions would
be provided for In bill which Major
ity Leader Human Of the Assembly
will introduce tomorrow. More than
twenty state departments and bureaus
have part In the regulation of char
table and correctional institutions, and
il is the purpose of the bill to CEN
tralize their supervision and simplify
their administration.
Under the bill all the powers Of the
fiscal supervisor would be vested in a
new board, and, in addition, it would
have transferred TO it from the State
Hospital Commission the financial SUI
pervision Of the affairs of the state
hospitals for the insane. Many sub
sidiary commissions and bureaus that
now assist in the administration of
the various state institutions would be
abolished.
The new board would consist Of three

$1,000 each. The present fiscal super
visor is William Mallery, jr., Demo
crat, Of Hillsdale. His salary is $4,000
and his term Of Office will not expire
until May, 1917. Salaries OF many
other positions which would be abol-
ished by the new bill are small, but,
according TO Mr.. Human, his plan
would mean q saving when the pay OF
all the boards was taken in the sg-
gregate.

HARLEM RIVER SPAN
SHIFTED AT NIGHT
Contractors Working IN
der Glare of Arcs to Pre-
vent Delay to Trains.

Working with a view 10 smash all
records. the employees Of Terry e.

the new double-deck drswbridge over
the Harlem River will be set in time
to prevent any delay Of Third Avenue

morning. The marlborough officials,
however, In their announcement, state
that the trains will not be operated
until 10 o'clock, and possibly later.
The new span was made necessary by
the Undertaking Of the road. The
express trains, with the new bridge,
will strike an incline at 123d Street
and the tracks will gradually rise un-
ill they are level with the upper part
OF the span. The local trains will use
the lower tracks of the span.
The new span will rest on the piers
Of the bridge that was removed TO
make room for it. These piers, found
in excellent condition by the rail-
road engineers, were built in 1854.
The new bridge will be the first
double-deck railroad bridge to be built
in the East. It is 104 feet long, AZ
feet wide and weighs 400 tons.
At midnight the span, propped up on
two floats so that it was level with the

ter the last northbound and the last
southbound train had crossed the old

ready to be connected with the piers.

were inclined to believe him when he
said that the bridge would be ready for
traffic by 6 o'clock.
