Birth Of An Island.

Volcanic energy may well be the

dead Atlantis. Authentic modern his
tory tells us enough indeed. to forbid
too stern a scepticism. There. for ex-

existed as a thing of beauty in the
Indian ocean till one day In June.
1893 Early In the morning Of that
day it's volcano hurst into unusual
activity. Within four days the noun
tain backbone Of the island was a
molten mass, which began to sink into
the sea. Then came a central lake
of boiling lava. On July IS the last
islander fled to AE.boy, and the his
tory of a once fertile island was fin

has ever been present at the birth OF
an island was Russian. who gave his
name to the apparition--Bogoslof.

being in the Aleut:sn isles on May i.
1896; and to this day, although d.
minished from its original three-mile
circumference, IT still belches smoke
