FLUNG UP FROM THE SEA.
Birth OF the Bogosiof Group Of the
Aieutian Islands.

offtn OF tHo ooSos'ot ST0SP w Wv
AIsutian Islands.
The first of the Bogoslof group OF the
Aleutian islands was born In the year
1906.
There was a great CONFUSION In the
Bering sea about twenty-five miles
north of Unalaska, and an Island ap-
peared above the surface Of the stormy
waters. This islet, which rose to a
height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea
level, was christened Bogoslof by the
Russians, who then owned Alaska. 1t
remained solitary and alone until 1882.
when another volcanic eruption In the
sea was followed by the birth OF an
other island near the first.
For two years the new island was the
scene of an active eruption. Then II
cooled gradually and, like the first islet.
became the home Of seals and sea lions
and the breeding grounds for sea birds.
The third of the Bogoslof group was
born in 1905. The baby" was smaller
than its elder sister, being about a
third Of mile In diameter and with an
altitude of some GOO feet, but the fol
lowing year another CONFUSION OF ma
ture resulted in nearly doubling Its
area.
Since then several other islands have
been born In various parts OF the Aleu-
tan chain.-Chicago Journal.

Boorjsh and Urbane.

Wien we speak OF person as Door
ish" we mean that he is rude, III bred
and uncouth. We seldom stop to think
that the word originally meant moth
ing more than rustic" Boor Is the
same word as the German bauer
and the Dutch "boer," signifying "a
farmer" The manners OF the peas
antry are alluded TO in an uncompii-
mentary way by the history OF this
and many other words In the IAN
guage. Heather" and "pagan" meant
simply country bred" and village
bred" once upon time. Culture and
the higher civilized virtues were
thought of as originating in towns and
making their way slowly, II at all, to
the rural districts. So we have as an
sntonym to ''boorish' the word "ur-
bane"-which originally meant city
fed."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

LAND DECREASE WORKS APRIL IS
Foreigners Holding Title to Real Estate,
Mining and Oil Properties.

Mexico City, Dec. 3o.-A decree has
been issued giving foreigners holding title
to real estate, mining and oil properties
and timber lands until April 10 to re-
sign their treaty rights in so far as the
properties in question are concerned. For
NAL remuneration of such rights must
be made in accordance with the decree
issued more than four months ago which
provided that such foreigners must, in
effect, become Mexican citizens in as far
as their property was concerned. There
is some uncertainty as to whether the
decree is retroactive and affects present
enterprises or only future rights

MsxIoo's spiked Mountain . Curious
Geological Freak.
Ono Of the mast remarkable geolog-
ical freaks IN Mexico is a mountain
situated near Pachuca. which presents
the appearance at a distance OF being
covered with spikes. The sides OF the
mountain are closely studded with
stone columns or palisades. These col
umns are Ave feet to twelve feet long
and as large around as an average
mans body.
II 10 a remarkable uplift Of nature,
which has the appea rance, however, OF
being the handiwork Of human beings.
One side of the mountain Is almost
perpendicular. and the stone columns
protrude from the surface at right
angles, forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca Is one of the most noted
mining districts In Mexico, and 1t Is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain Is out Of keeping with
the remainder Of the formation of the
mineralized region.
Tne stone Is az ndru % niut anu n"o
withstood the elements for ages. The
spikes form a natural battlement that
makes the mountain appear from
distance like some ancient fort.
The mines Of the Pachuca district
are situated not far from this wonder
full freak of nature, but the forma-
ton encountered in their respective
underground workings Is Of an entire
" different kind from that Of the
palisade Weekly.

 but when the estimates were tabld for week the subject was left alon
 It is understood the callmen, wI are naturally anxious to hang to the jobs, have been doing some gui, lobbying the past two weeks and haS primed some of the councilmen wit facts and figures to prove that the dt partment would be weakened withol them. On the other hand, the sal ety board gave the matter carefs study and when Clerk A. T..

MRS. SLACK \ PENSIONER
Woman Found III Had Been Declared
 Eligible for Fund,

Mrs. Sara Slack who was found i'll and in desperate straits at her home Cn Prospect street last Saturday is reported as steadily improving at the New Britain General hospital. Off, Clals at Landers, Frary & Clark S factory have interested themselves in the WOmanS case.
 The discovery of the condition of the woman was due to a mission in behalf of the pension fund associa ton that the company has put in force. The woman had been work ing steadily, and when she was missed from her bench, the matter was re- ported to Superintendent Lamb, who asked George Cutie neighbor, to confer with the woman and inform her of the decision to place her on the pension list. Since January l. 1916, fifteen employees have been en- 1Clled on the list of pensioners. and several more will be eligible in few months. The minimum payments tC those retiring will be $250
