shake my confidence in aviation, de-

LOSING A BASS DRUM.
A Feat That Can Be Performed In
More Than One Way.

Nov, cont you leave that bass drum
on the train when we get to the termi-
nal" said the conductor sharply as he
punched the ticket of a stout colored
man who, with his drum, was squeezed
into the seat at the forward end of the
smoking car Of q city bound local.
mo, indeed, boss, sho' won't do
dat" responded the owner Of the drum
earnestly.
do many people leave bass drums
Oh these trains?" asked commuter as
the conductor reached for his ticket.
Its regular thing for that fell
low" replied the conductor testify.
HE lives up near Rosemere, and once
a month he comes down to the city to
play in a band. He doesn't need the
drum until evening, so, to avoid carry
Ing it around all day or paying for
checking it in the parcel room, he
leaves it on the train. Then along
about 5 o'clock he calls for it at the
lost article room in the station"
When the train reached the city the
conductor left with the first Of the pas.
sengers. AS he approached the gate.
however, he thought of something he
had forgotten and turned quickly
toward his train, which was now al
most empty. AS he did SO his face red
dened, his eyes snapped angrily and he
started on q run for the steps Of the
smoking car, from which the owner Of
the bass drum, looking furtively from
right to left, was descending.
"Where's that bass drum of yours?'
demanded the conductor as he rushed
up to him.
"Well, doggone me, eff | wasn't
fo'gettin' dat drum again" was the in
nocent response. II sholy thank you.

| added.
"I'll hold the train here for an hour
if necessary" replied the conductor
"but get that drum out, and be quick
about it!
A few minutes later the commutel
saw the owner Of the drum sitting de-
| jectedly on one Of the benches In the
station. AS the drum again reposed
beside him, it seemed likely that fol
once at least the owner would have tc

else check it at the parcel room at the
usual rate.
But on his way home that evening
the commuter stopped at the lost ar
ticle window to inquires~for an UNI
brella that his wife had 4left in the sta
ton the day before. Much to his graft
tcatlon, he found it.
AS the attendant handed the um
brella out to him he heard a voice owe

voice, plaintively inquire:
"Say, cap'n, did yo'-all find bas

WORK OF A VOLCANO.
Result Of an Eruption In Alaska Four.
teen Centuries Ago.

teen Centuries Ago.
Every traveller on the upper Yukon
river has noted Il conspicuous white
bed, four to six inches in thickness,
that occurs on the river banks. This
is made up of volcanic ash derived
from 4 volcano located in the northern
margin Of the st. Elias range, more
than 100 miles to the south. Though,
geologically speaking, the material Is
Of recent age, yet it was probably
erupted / 400 years ago.
There are, of course, no historical
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.
1t originally covered an area Of over
100000 square miles, and some Of it
was carried over $50 miles from the
volcano.
The deposit varies in thickness from
300 feet near the volcano to an inch or
two at the margin Of the area covered
by it. A rough estimate indicates that
over ten 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 five cubic miles of ash was eject
