WHAT LIGHTS THE V0LCAN07
EruptIons May Be Caused by Heating
Water In the Hollows Of
the Earth.

A volcano is a great hollow noun.
tain. 1t is named for Vulcan, the
Roman god who was supposed to deal
with fire, because fire comes out Of 1t.
A volcano has a hole at the top called
the crater, and this hole seems to lead
down into the hot interior of the earth.
The inside of the earth is always
hot, yet volcanoes are by no means al
ways in eruption, as it is called when
they throw out fire and ashes. 1t
must be, then. that something happens
which sets the volcano in activity.
The possible cause may be guessed
from the location Of the great vol
canoes. which, like Vesuvius. Etna and
Hecla, are near the sea.
1t may be that the volcano commu-
nicates with the earth under the sea
and water passes into the hot interior
hollow and creates vast quantities OF
steam or gas. This gas is formed un.
der great pressure. II must get out
somewhere and so finds its way to the
crater and escapes with terrific force
sometimes carrying huge masses Of
rock high into the air.

A lady warned her new gardener
that her husband had an Irritating
habit Of disparaging everything in the
greenhouse. and Of ordering In a reck
less manner new plants to be bought
but on no account was the gardener
to humor him. Whatever he says
throw cold water on him. or he will
ruin US with his extravagances."
At this point the new gardener
turned on her a white and startled
face. "Ma'am." he said. "if he orders
me to pitch every plant in the place
on the rubbish heap. sha'n't ever
have the pluck to douse him with colo
water. Won't 1t do as well II get a
drain OF warm water out OF the boiler
and let 1t trickle gently down his
neck?"

HAZEL DAWN's DIRECTIONS

I believe that women should seek
ethereal effects.
A soft hairline about the face is
indispensable to woman's looking
her best.
Chiffons and pearls are first aids
to the soft loveliness which should be
woman's aim.
A girl can be well dressed with a
wardrobe Of eight frocks. She does
not need more to make an extremely
good appearance.
Pink is the color OF the cheerful. !
have never known person OF happy
nature who did not like pink, nor q
gloomy one who did like 1t.
Shoes should always be trim, and.
as to tops, at least, the color Of the
gown. II had to choose between
pretty gowns and pretty boots I'd
choose the latter.

Marooned Eiahea.

When the water Of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries falls after the
annual freshets. 1t leaves many casual
ponds and pools. In them are held cap.
tive, great numbers of fishes. which
the bureau of fisheries undertakes to
rescue each year, before they are
killed by the drying up or the freezing
OF the waters. During the fiscal yeaI
1914 the bureau thus saved 2.500.00O
fishes OF all species-about three times
as many as 1t saved the year before.
Most OF the fishes 1t returns to the
main streams. but some 1t keeps for
culture In ponds or to stock waters in
other parts of the country.-Youth's
