THE BIRTH OF ISLANDS

The first of the Bogoslof group of the A1eutian islands was s'born" 12o years ago to-day, May IS, 1796. On that date there was a great convulsion in the Bering Sea. about twenty five
 miles north of Unalaska, and an island appeared above the surface of the stormy waters. This isIet,E which rose to a height of nearly 5000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogoslof by the Russians, who then owned Alaska. It remained solitary and alone until 1882, when another volcanic eruption in the sea was followed by the birth of another island near the first. For two years the new island was the scene of an active eruption. Then it cooled gradually, and, like the first islet, be- came the home of seals and sea lions and the breeding grounds for sea birds. The third of the GogosIof group was born ten years ago. The baby" was smaller than it's elder sisters, being about a third of a mile in diameter anG with an altitude of some 500 feet, but the following year another convul- sion of nature resulted in nearly dou- bling it's area. Since then several oth- CT islands have been born in various parts of the Aleutian chain.

which many physicians resort to the

principal speaker, upheld the Harrison

down the sale of dangerous drugs so

rested largely with the druggist, he
said. The amount of drugs sold in the
United States had jumped 173 per cent.

population during the past forty years,
he stated. DR.. Wood sounded q warn
ing against many cough syrups and
cited instances where confirmed drug
users had been developed through this
means.
