THE KATMAI EXPLOSION.
Terrific Results Of This Fearful Volean'
ie Eruption.

Terrific Results Of This Fearful voIean.
ie Eruption.
Science is still investigating the
terrific Katmai volcano eruption OF
June, 1912, in Alaska, one of the
most tremendous in the history of
the world. This fearful. upheaval,
says bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society, ranks easily among
the twelve most violent eruptions
this planet has ever known.
Prior to this cataclysm of nature
Krakatoa had held first place in the
minds of most people, but the guam
tity of material thrown out by Kat
mai was vastly greater, and it is es-
timated that the whole of the island
of Krakatoa could be dropped into
the Katmai crater.
In order to present a mental pic
ture of the extent of the territory
affected by this eruption Professor
Riggs has pointed out that if such
an outburst had centered in New
York city the whole of Greater New
York would have been buried under
from ten to fifteen feet of ashes and
would have been subjected to unim-
aginable horrors from hot gases.
The column of steam and ashes
would have been plainly visible be-
yond Albany, and the continued ac-
tivity of the volcano would have
prevented any one approaching the
ruins nearer than Paterson for sev-
eral months.
Philadelphia would have been cov-
cred by twelve inches of gray ash
and would have groped in total
darkness for sixty hours Washing
ton and Buffalo would have received
q quarter of an inch of ash baptism,
accompanied by a shorter period Of
darkness. Small quantities of ash
would have fallen throughout the
eastern states as far south as the
gulf coast.
The sound of the explosion would
have been heard in Atlanta and St..
Louis, and the fumes would have
tainted the air in Denver, San An
tonic and Jamaica. No imagination
can picture the destruction of life
and property which would have fol-
lowed this eruption had it occurred
in thickly populated section Of the
United States instead of in a remote
section of Alaska twenty-five miles
inland.

Odd Prepesal Of Marriage.

That celebrated painter of flower
and figure subjects, William Hunt,
was on one occasion commissioned
by a gentleman to paint his portrait
in the attitude of kneeling and
holding in his hand an open scroll
whereon were written declaration
of love and an offer of marriage.
The lady to whom this unusual pro-
posal of marriage was sent replied
with a chalk drawing of herself
with sheet of paper in her hand
on which was inscribed a laconic
"Yes."

Train Speed.

Here's how to determine how fast
a railroad train is going. An old
railroader vouches for its exact ac-
curacy. Ask the conductor to tell
you the length of rail you are rid
ing over.
If 1t is a thirty-three foot rail the
number of joints you pass in twenty
seconds will be the number of miles
per hour the train is going. Thus,
If you pass forty rail joints in TWEEN
ty seconds you will be going forty
miles per hour.
If you are on q thirty foot rail
the number of joints passed in eigh-
teen seconds will equal the number
Of miles per hour.
