Washington, May 31.-The passage

to light the fact that Uncle Sam is
about to go into the volcanic erup.

ness. Your Uncle Sam does not pre-.
tend to be seer or seventh son,
but he does have certain facts at his
disposal to convince him that volcan.
ic eruptions and certain kinds of
earthquakes can be predicted with
reasonable accuracy. The first work
will probably be done at Mauna Loa,
although. there are more volcanoes
on American soil than On any other.
As a matter Of fact, the hrs; pre-
diction for Mauna Loa has already
been made. The forecast is that Maui
no Loa will have dangerous erup-
ton next January. II this forecast
fails, then the eruption will come in
June, 1917.
This prediction is made by Harv-
ard scientists who have been study
ing the eccentricities OF Mauna Loa
for about six years. They have dis
covered that the volcano has certain
regular periods Of uneasiness. Diff
ferent phenomena appear in regu.
lar order that requires about ten
years to complete cycle. On the ba.
sis of these observations the Harv-
ard scientists predicted earthquakes
at Mauna Loa last year and the
quakes came just as scheduled.
The next thing to be expected of
this volcano is flow of lava about
two years after the earthquakes.
This flow will come either in Janu-
airy or June, because then the squeeze
of gravitation on the earths crust
caused at the time when sun and
moon are both closest to the earths
is likely to touch off the volcano.
These times of greatest squeeze are
in January and June. It is declared

sister, was found in Miss Mordecai's
room after her attempt at suicide;

UNION SEMINARY GETS
$1,S4O,OOO ENDOWMENT
Fund Announced Last Night
Makes Total S5,000,000.

Union Theological Seminary has re-
ceived an additional endowment OF ST.
$4,000. This sum, making the semi
nary one Of the largest endowed re-
ligious schools in America. was an
nounced last night at the eighteenth
annual commencement by William Nj.
Kingsley, president of the board Of
directors.
The new gifts bring the endowment
UP to nearly s5,OoO.OoO. In view Of the
coming controversy at the general as
sembly of the church at Atlantic City
this month, the news was received with
surprise. Union Seminary will be tho
storm centre of attack by the orthodox
element in the Presbyterian assembly.
About two years ago." said Mr.
Kingsley, 1--WE set out quietly to get
an additional s2,160,0OO endowment for
this seminary. We have been success
full within 100000 of that sum. People
evidently think we are not so bad after
all to intrust with funds"
The last was said with touch OF
satire that brought laughter from the
audience.
Mr.. Kingsley emphatically denied the
heresy which has been charged against
the Broadway institution.
"The mind that was in the founders,
he said, els also in our present body.
They laid foundation for a seminary
where is taught true piety inseparable
from solid learning. They set out to
found an American seminary which was
TO be free from ecclesiastical domlna-
ton"

Her husband is under indictment as a

Summer Hosiery Will Barely

Philadelphia, May 16.-When sum

bound by Fashions decree will be seen
not only in short skirts but in short
stockings. The hosiery will be so alb
breviated, in fact, that it will barely
meet the lower hem OF The longer
skirts that fall under the requirements
Of the prevailing style.
All this is vouched for by the Ma
tional Association of Hosiery ana
Underwear Manufacturers, in conven-

been booking orders for the summer
trade, and they are unanimous in their
prediction of the coming fashion.

wearing their stockings as short as
mems half hose" said a Boston man.
"and at Atlantic City saw some Of the
older ones turning down their regular
length hose to get the same effect"
