among the dwellers In its vicinity.
The summit of the peak was hidden
in clouds from the under side of
which the glow of what seemed a
flow of lava war reflected. Days af-
terward the curious who climbed the
flank of the mountain found not a
crater and a flood of lava but the
embers of a great forest fire.
Some years ago reports concerning
a volcanic eruption In northern Mex
leo we're published broadcast. They
contained details of the destruction Of
Bavispe, a village about fifty miles
south of the New Mexico boundary.
A geographer visited the locality IN
search of information. The facts as
published at the time were pretty ac-
curately stated, but the interpreta-
tion was very much awry.
There was a tremendous chasm, It
is true, but it was fissure made by
an earthquake. There was likewise
a flood not of lava but Of steaming
mud squeezed out Of the flssnre. The
village of Bavispe was destroyed by
fire. but it was first shaken to pieces
and the ruins then caught fire. A
glare was visible miles away, but it
was the glare of burning timber. The
volcanic eruption makes mighty in
teresting reading, but it has been
overworked.

Fate Of the Tolstoys.

A correspondent writing from
southern Russia says that Yasnaya
Polyana, the home of Count LEO
ToLsToY. is rapidly falling into ruins
and that surviving members Of his
family are making an effort through
a worldwide appeal to secure funds
for its restoration. Since the begin
ming of the rule of the Bolsheviki
very little has been heard by the out
side world either of the disposition
made of the Counts property or Of
the fate of the family. This appeal,
however. seems to bear out the
rather meagre reports which Moscow
has permitted to cross the Russian
frontier.
A young English woman who had
spent eight years with ToI.sToY's
eldest daughter, Countess TATIASA.
managed to escape from Russia and
reach England about a year ago and
she gave rather guarded but quite
enlightening account of conditions
at yasnaya Polyana. She said that
soon after LENINE found himself es.
tabkshed in power he gave promise
to the Countess TArIANA that the
home of her father would always re-
main undisturbed. that he had a
great reverence for the Tolstoy name
and that the family could rest secure
that no member of It would be mo-
Tested by the Soviets.
How we'll this promise was kept is
shown by developments. The whole
property was taken over by commits
sars of the Moscow Government and
seventy workers were installed at
Yasnaya Polyana. The interior dec
orations. even TO the woodwork, we're
carried away, the windows we're
broken, the porches destroyed, and
the foundation stones of a part OF
the structure being removed both of
the wings subsidized. There were fire.

would be repaired but nothing was

The recent earth disturbance near
Pacora, in the Canal Zone, which
was at first attributed to volcanic
activity. proves TO have been what
engineers familiar with conditions
there suspected, namely, a landslide
OF unusual proportions. Landslides
are very common in this region. They
were common enough along the canal
while construction was in progress:
yAs7 will occur whenever and wher-
ever engineering operations disturb
tbe level in water soaked region.
Landslides are usually common in
localities of rugged surface where
the ground is deeply impregnated
with water. Gravity overcomes ad.
hesion: tremendous masses OF rock
waste slide to lower levels. Not in.
frequently the intense friction of the
sliding mass generates enough heat
TO send clouds of steam high into the
air. More than once this has given
rise TO the belief among careless or
uniformed observers that the land
slide was volcanic eruption.

done. The once trim. well kept prop
erty is overgrown with weeds and un-
derbrush, and the house from the
danger of collapse is uninhabitable.
The Countess TArIANA for q while
attempted to build up school to
teach peasant children of the neigh
borhood a trade, but from lack Of
fuel to keep the school room warm
as well as of raw materials to give
her pupils employment she was COM
PEELED to abandon her scheme. She
was then employed as a worker"
and her duty was to show visitors
who were sent by the Soviet around
the property. The last report re-
ceived was that she and her daughter
were knitting shawls and exchang-
ing them for food to save themselves
from starvation.
Count ToLsToY's widow died in the
autumn of 1919 and her last words
were expressions of fear that her
daughter would die from hunger. The
Counts oldest son, SERGIUs, and his
wife long ago traded most of the
family treasures for food and burned
all the Counts rare old furniture as
fuel. The Countess SASHA, one Of
Count LEo's younger daughters, was
deprived Of her estates, robbed of her
personal belongings and sentenced to
three years in prison for objecting to
Bolshevist eXactions.
When Countess TATrANA went TO
Moscow to make an appeal for he:'
sister TRoTzKY promised to release
her from prison. He declared that IL
the elder ToLsToy had lived he would
"have been one with u.s." The Count
ess in her indignation expressed her
doubts. For this reason, it is be-
lieved, TRoTzKY, despite his professed
veneration for Count LEO ToLsToY,
refused not only to interfere in behalf
Of the sister but also to take steps
in helping the aged members Of the
Tolstoy family or in the preservation
OF their property.

Cotton Crop Cuesswork.

Talk of world shortage of cotton
will be distinctly out of place for
months TO come, even with the United
States Department Of Agriculture
previously committed to pessimis-
tic forecast of the shortest crop in
several decades. The Census Bureau
reports that up to November IA last
total of 7,270,575 bales of cotton
had been ginned. This is 1855
bales more than the forecast Of
6,537 900 bales which the Department
of Agriculture gave on November !
as the prospective size Of the crop.
The excess of ginnings over the crop
figures just reported does not tell the
whole story, because all the cotton
from the fields has not yet been
ginned.
riculture publishes its final report oil
December II next the ginnings may
show an excess of million bales
or more over the November l crop es.
innate. At the present time the be-
lief is widely held that the crop esti-
mate rather than the ginnings report
is off color. Spinners are making
their own Judicious reservation re.
garding all cotton statistics. Private
investigators have gone so far as to
forecast the crop at 100000 bales.
In any event there is little or no dan
ger OF a cotton shortage in the near
future.
On July 81 last, according to re-
port compiled by the American Ma
tional Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers of Boston, there were in the
world 51.915,0 spindles idle for lack
Of business out Of a total Of 141,950,-
900. The worlds normal consump-
tion of approximately 10000, 900 bales
year is reduced &c per cent, or
1900, 900 bales, by these idle spindles.
These 100000 bales which will
be needed foreshadow no problem
except the probability that surplus
will be left in the hands of producers.
The United States alone, accepting
even the minimum crop figure Of
$685., 900 bales, with the 100000
bales carried over from last season.
could provide the worlds takings.
with margin of 100000 bales left
over. Other countries will add an
other 100000 bales to the worlds
supply.
Not single calico jumper need be
sacrificed even IL the worst fears Of
the Department of Agriculture should
materialize. But the disparity be-
tween the crop estimate and the gin
ming figures brings a lesser annoy
ance. albeit regrettable one. because
it increases the uncertainty already
marked in the cotton industry and it
robs the Government reports OF thac
flavor of superior authority which in
the past has given to them value
above the many estimates compiled
by private Investigators.

Fitting a Name to a Boy.
An Important Subject Discussed by
Family Council.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Ny ad-
vice is frequently sought in the naming
OF children. 1t is true the names sug-
sest are rarely adopted but they invari-
ably prove helpful. On two or three oc-
casions the child's father has agreed
with me absolutely and we have selected
the day OF christening only to have the
mother object most strenuously when
she was informed Of our choice. i find
that mothers arc very hard to please
In this respect
Recently I was asked to assist in
naming a male child. When reached
the home of the proud parents found
the family gathered in council around
the infants cradle. We all looked long
and earnestly upon the little red face
and tightly clenched fists and then with

Her progra mme was in some respects
well removed from stereotyped lines.
Naturally she began with some old airs,
but with the exception Of Bach's PA
tron was macht der wind" which has
been hardly worked OF late. even these
vera not Of daily recurrence.
One of them. the fluent "Alleiuia,"
from Mozart's 'Exultate," gave the
singer opportunity to demonstrate that
she could deliver florid passages with
much rapidIty and generally with claar-
ness. Another, Donaudy's 20 del mio
amato ben." brought out the best quail
Ties OF voice. which, when favorably
displayed, showed considerable richness
of tint and a sufficient resonance.
Miss Dale's singing in general was
marked by intelligent understanding OF
her songs and by clarity Of text treat
ment. though 1t was in this department
OF her art that she found her largest
difficulties. owing to obstacles raised by
certain vowel sounds
An interesting feature of tho nro-
sramme was a group Of German folk
songs from the collection in six volumes
edited by Brahms. These songs are sell
dom heard In public. and Miss Dale de-
serves thanks for calling attention to
them. Some of them are delightful in
their quaint. old fashioned characteris-
tics, while others are captivating In
their simple sentiment and spontaneous
melody. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the accompaniments made by
Brahms are of the most appropriate
Kind. Miss Dale sang these songs with
appreciation
Other noteworthy numbers were two
new songs, THE Beloved Stranger" bv
Constance Herreshoff, and might Song
at Capri" by Alice Barnett.
