FLUNG UP FROM THE SEA.
Birth Of the eososIof Group Of the
.5t AIeutian Islands.

Birth Of the BososIof Group Of the
.2 AIsutian Islands.
The first of the Bogoslof group of the
Aleutian islands was born in the year
1895.
There was a great CONFUSION In the
Boring sea about twenty-five miles
north Of Unnlaska, and an island ap-
peared above the surface Of the stormy
waters. This islet, which rose to a
height Of nearly 5000 feet above sea
level, was christened Bogosl0f 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 tho
scene Of an active eruption. Then It
cooled gradually and, like the fy1tis|et.
became the home Of seals am meas
as5stne breeding grounds or'fsR BIRDS.
The third of the Bogoslof group was
born in 1906 The "baby' was smaller
than its elder sister, being about a
third Of a mile in diameter and with an
altitude of some 600 feet, but the FOL-
lowing year another CONFUSION of ma
ture resulted in nearly doubling its
urea.
Since then several other islands have
been born In various parts Of the Aleu-
tian chain.-Chicago Journal.

A farmer living at Lapford, England
dreamed thrice in succession that he
saw . pit dug in one of his fields and
some Of his property cast into it. At
the third time Of dreaming he got up,
dressed and went out. He heard the
thud Of spade and caught sight Of
man digging by lantern light. The
digger fed at his approach. It was a
grave upon which he had been at work.
BY it's brink lay huge knife. On his
way back the farmer met one Of his
maidservants. She had had a quarrel
with the man to whom she had been
engaged, she said, but he had prevailed
upon her to meet him for the last time

something to show her. ''This is what

Genius and Appetite.

Sir Francis Cation held tat q good
appetite is one of the attributes Of
genius. "Most notabilities have been
great eaters and excellent digesters on
the same principle that the furnace
which can raise more steam than Is
usual for one of it's size must burn
more freely and well than is CON-
mon." Scott was Of the same opinion.
In a letter to Canning respecting an
article promised to the Quarterly Re-
view he advises him to break the neck
Of it after hearty meal, preferably
of boiled chicken" And he practiced
what he preached, for, like Tennyson,
Dickens, Thackeray and many other
nineteenth century authors. Scott was
an excellent trencherman. - Londor

LIKE AN ANCIENT FORT.
Msxieo's Spiked Mountain . cur'ous
Geological Freak.

G48{FE. 00OIOStS2l OIOONs
One OF the most remarkable geolog-
acal freaks In Mexico is a mountain
situated near Pachuca, which presents
the appearance at distance of being
covered with spikes The sides OF the
mountain are closely studded with
stone columns or palisades. These COL
umns are five feet to twelve feet long
and as large around as IN average
mans body.
It is a remarkable uplift Of nature,
which has the appearance, however, OF
being the handiwork Of human beings.
One side of the mountain is almost
perpendicular, and the stone columns
aprotrude from the surface at right
angles, forming an impressive picture.
Pachuca is one of the most noted
mining districts in Mexico, and it Is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain Is out of keeping with
the remainder of the formation Of the
mineralized region.
The stone Is as hard as flint and has
withstood the elements for ages. The
spikes form 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
ful freak Of nature, but the forma-
uon encountered in their respective
underground workings IS of an entire
" different kind from that Of the
palisade. Weekly.

Detention by Germany Of Five American Consuls AS
signed to Ottoman Ports Is Thus Explained
Washington Asks Spanish Diplomats for Facts

WAsHrNGroN. March 23.-yGermany
and Turkey, entering into a state of war
with the United States once hostilities
between Germany and the United States
have begun. This is indicated in ad-
rices received here and is given as one
reason for the Berlin Governments re.
fusal to permit Ave American Consuls
detained in Germany to proceed to their
assigned posts in Turkey.
In response to repeated inquiries by
the State Department Berlin has re-
fused to give any explanation as to why
these American officials are being de-
tained. 1t now appears that the Berlin
Government Is not ready to allow them
TO proceed to Turkey until It is known
whether or not "the Turkish Govern
ment is willing to receive them"
This is interpreted to mean that Ger
man diplomacy will not sanction the
maintenance OF diplomatic relations be-
tween Turkey and the United States IL
war comes. The same German policy
is understood to apply to relations be-
tween Austria-Hungary and the United
States. Austria Hungary Is bound by
a solemn alliance to assist Germany in
any war waged upon her, and the Ger
man view Is that war with the United
states will be war waged upon Ger
many by the American Government.
The American Consuls involved in the
transfers to Turkey are Henry c. A
Damn. transferred from AK la Chapelle
to Givas. Turkey: John q. Wood, trans
ferred from Chemnitz to Mersina, to re-
lieve Edward l. Nathan. who is i'll. and

been assigned to assist the American
Consul-General at Constantinople.
1t has been impossible to obtain any
word whatever from the missing Consuls
since the time they are known to have
arrived in Munich. Repeated inquiries
have been made without success The
latest was made Wednesday, when the
state Department directed message TO
the Spanish Government, which has
taken over the American diplomatic in
terests in Germany. requesting that this
Government be informed why the Con-
suls have not been allowed to proceed 10
their destination.
Until German influence made itself fel,
In Constantinople there was no objec-
ton from Turkey to the transfers. Now
however. the Turkish Government ap-
pears to be at least hesitating about re-
ceiving the American Consuls. Berlin
believes. 1t is understood. that there will
be no use for them to make the trip tc
Turkey If war is coming between Ger.
many and the United States.
