MIGHTY MAUNA L0A.
This Gigantic Volcano Is a Worthy Ri
val to Vesuvius.

The lofty volcanoes of the Hawaiian
Islands. rising above tue ocean from

SUBMITS of gigantic mountain masses
that rise abruptly from the bottom OF
the Pacific. Mauna l.oa. ON the island
of Hawaii stands 1868 feet above
sea level. but its slopes descend be-
meath the sea. as shown by deep sea
soundings. with Il grade fully equal to
If not greater than that Of the visible
slopes The same Is generally trle OF
the submarine slopes of other Islands.
and the depths attained by these con-
tinuous slopes. within thirty TO fifty
miles of the shores. vary from $4,000
10 10000 feet. Mauna Loa and Alauna
Ken, il their true bases are considered
TO be at the bottom of the Pacific, are
therefore mountains Of rs great an alti-
mately 10000 feet In general the
Hawaiian Island group consists of
SUBMITS OF gigantic submarine
mountain chain which projects only
its loftier peaks and domes above the
water. On the island Of Hawaii the
volcanic forces are still in operation.
The one continuously active volcanic
vent OF the island is kilauea. far down

'the great mountain" No other vol
cano in the world approaches Mauna
Loa in the vastness of its mass or III
the magnitude of its eruptive activity.
There are many volcanic peaks higher
In the air. but most of them are plant
ed upon elevated platforms, where they
appear as mere cones of greater or less
size. 1t is not yet known at what level
the base of Mauna Loa is situated. but
1t is below the sea, probably far below.
Mauna Kea-'the white mountain
lis also a colossus among volcanoes.
Its summit. 1885 feet, is n trifle high
er than that of Mauna Loa. but Its
slopes are sleeper. and its base is there
fore much smaller The magnitude OF
Mauna Loa is due chiefly to the great
area of its base, which is nearly clip
tical in shape, with major diameter
of seventy-four miles and minor d.
ameter of tifty-three miles. measured
at sea level.
In the aggregate Of its eruptions
Mauna Loa is also unrivaled. Some OF
the volcanoes of Iceland have been
known to disgorge Mt II single outbreak
masses of lava fully equal TO those or
Mauna Loa. But such. outbursts are
infrequent in Iceland. and a century
has elapsed since any of such magni'
tude have occurred. though there have,
been several minor eruptions. The
eruptions Of AIauna Lon are all or

an average interval of about eight
years. In view of the total quantity
OF material it has dlsgorged during the
last century no other volcano Is at all
comparable TO it--From Il Bulletin or

A CUP OF COFFEE.

of the caffeine present. 1t may increase

by the fact OF its stimulating effect
upon the vital centers and II Is said

IL Is commonly claimed TO remove

many subjects II produces drowsiness.
but this Is usually SDllowed by mark

the stimulus which is experienced has
much TO be said in its favor dietet-

There is no reason for supposing that
coffee possesses any value MS food.
The berry contains quite important

According TO our analysis, the pro-

small. approximating 10 l.25 per cent
OF the coffee extracted. This amount

SUICIDE OF MISS JONES
Was Employed Last Fall at the Local
Telephone Exchange

! Miss Grace Marion Jones. 81, who
was employed as extra operator at the
| Bennington telephone exchange for
| several weeks last fall, died at The
Hampden hospital in Springfield Tues
| day morning from the effects of a
| self-inflicted dose of bichloride OF mer-
curry and morphine. According to the
| local authorities she took the poison
| Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock She
admitted the suicidal act but would
not give a motive. In the inability of
the official to secure sufficient cause
for the young woman's act, il was be-
lieyed that her desire fot death was
due to despondency brought on by
difficulty in securing employment. -
was known that the young woman had
been out of work for long time. and
that she was under considerable ex-
pense during thistime. She was with
out funds and apparently without NOR
ey to support herself.
Miss Jones took a hypodermic in
lection of grain and quarter of NOR
phine and later took FIVE taE.ets OF
bchloride OF mercury OF 35 grains. She
took the poison in her room on Elliot
street. AS soon as she had taken the
poison she told the people living in
the house and the young girl was TAX
EN- to the hospital less than an hour
after the act At the hospital every
thing possible was done to save her
but the large amount OF poison which
she had taken made it impossible.
The girl suffered greatly The cir
cumstances attending the case were
of a pathetic nature and reflected in
measure the problem which large
number of unemployed women are fac
ing in Springfield and other large cit
les. She was known to have been OF
a morose and extremely sensitive tenn
perament and naturally this element
of her disposition was quickened to
the extent where she reached the
point of desperation
Miss Jones was born at Blackinton
and went to Springfield from Williams
town, where her parents live. She ELI
tered the training school for nurses
at the Springfield hospital and was
in training there about year She
left the institution about two years
ago. She worked for short time in

Washington, Feb. 17--Democratic
leaders in the senate were disappoint-
ed today to find that the compromise
ship purchase bill, passed by the
house early this morning was unsatis-
factory to the three radical Repubii-
can senators who had been supporting
the bill thus far. AS result no at
tempt was made to get the senate TO
concur in the house amendments, and
when Mr.. Fletcher of Florida. who
had charge of the bill, moved to send
it TO conference, where further conces
sions could be made to the three Re-
pubicans, the filibuster against fur
ther action on the bill was renewed
so that tonight all hope of obtaining
the enactment of the bill has been
practically abandoned.
Along with the increasing discour.
agement of the democratic senators
over the prospect of the bill goes an
doubt whether President
Wilson will call an extraordinary ses-
sion to force the bill on the statute
books.
Thirteen OF the nineteen Democrats
who voted against the bill in tn 2
