Vesuvius Produced by the Lava's Amazing Properties as a Nonconductor of HeatDeadly Voloanis Aehea. ' Yesuvlhs. the most famous volcano In the world, with Its mighty Vomit ings of lava' and dust, is guilty of many queer freaks. 1 Mighty rainstorms bare set In motion the lava dust and lava cinders that lie on its sides, and torrents of muddy lava have over whelmed towns and villages as it swept down to the sea. The resulting effect from this has been- so great that it changed the face of the coast line by forming a new promontory. Lava is one of the most curious of substances. It is simply rock melted by a bent so intense that it flows like thin gruel. When Vesuvius is in erup tion thousands of tons of It are squirt ed up the "pipe" and out of the crater. As it flows out over the edge It soon cools and leaves a thick, ropy coating, which spreads over the entire coun tryside. -. But it is only on the top that it really cools. A, jnct? k Vi .,. face of the lava is often red hot. Vis itors are often invited to light (heir cigarettes in the chinks of n bed of lava that has been lying out in the open nir for twenty years or more. It Js the most wonderful noncon ductor of heat known. Borings made through some lava beds have shown that they are made up of layers of lava and layers of unmelted snow. As suc cessive torrents of lava came pouring down the surface that lay on the snow cooled at once, and the surface open to the air also cooled at once. But between the two surfaces there was blazing heat: so If you bored down through some laval beds you would find a. cool upper surface, n redhot inside, a cool layer, snow, a cool layer, a redhot one. a cool one and then snow again. In fact, a layer of lava will let nei ther heat nor cold through. If von built a house entirely of lava on a scorching summer day you would still bnve OS decrees tnsMo whan thA-o nn. snow outside. If you built it in the winter lee would form in your rjarlor In Julv. This clearly demonstrates what an extraordinary nonconductor lava la. There is. Indeed, on the slopes of Vesuvius a little lava hut into which summer visitors put bottles of, wine io get tnem chilled, i y. When a volcano throws lta 1av ant with such tremendous force that It jets high Into the air it very often falls In the form of dust owing to the explosive power of the high pressure steam tnat spurts out" with it. It bursts Into a fine sorav and fniia dust-dust far fines, than any other uust Known. ... It Is so fine, Indeed, that sometimes years elapse before it settles. When the mighty Island volcano of Kraka toa blew Itself nearly into bits in 1883 with a crashing sound of cannonading that smashed windows hundreds of miles away the lava dust was so thick In the air that for hundreds of miles round midday was as black as night volumes or infinitely fine dust sailed round and round the earth in the nn. per atmosphere and made England's sunsets or tnat year unusually sDlen- did. It was three years before the npper air became quite clear again. Lava oust has the same nroDertlea as lava. Shepherds on the slopes of Vesuvius sprinkle patches of snow In the winter with lava dust so, that they may have it when the scorching days of summer arrive. It was lava dust turned to mud hv torrents of rain such as usually come with volcanic outbursts, flint, nearly 2.000 years ago. destroyed the famous pleasure city of Herculanenm. and it was shower of volcanic ashes that overwhelmed ronipell. Ilerculaneum still lies nearly forty yards Jrora the open nir. There are rivers of lava mud th.it am blotting out towns and villages now. A curious point, has always been noticed when Vesuvius is iu eruptlou, and that is the string odor of washing day that hnugs around the mountain. . One might wonder why the slopes of such a mountain are so thickly populated when there is always dan ger of eruptions and of avalanches of lava mud. Well, the reason is that volcanic soli is always very fertile. Some of the best wine of Italy comes from Vesuvlan vineyards, and people are ready to take the risks. London American.

'Tin Methods of Barney Barnato In His Mining Venture.. Bafney Barnato before the tragic termination of hla career was widely known because of his large fortune ' won In mining ventures. Ills rapid accumulation of wealth was popularly attributed to luck, but luck of the per- , slstent variety usually . rests upon a more solid basis than mere chance. An Insight to Barnato's methods is af forded by an incident recently related by A. A. Blow, an American engineer once in Barnato's employ. After an exhaustive examination of ' a mine whose purchase was under considera tion Blow prepared an elaborate and voluminous report. It was accompa nied by maps and selections and was i a piece of work of which the engineer felt that he could be Justly proud. , When It was handed to Barnato to read, however, the latter laid It aside unopened. . , ; "Tell me about it,- he said. ( Blow proceeded to make an oral re- ' port; ..; Y I Barnato dozed. Finally he exclaimed:- - v; v...-;, "I employed you 'because I think you know something about this business. ! rind I do not. Now, I do not want to 1 hear all of this scientific rot about this mine. All I want you to tell me is whether it U good business?" ' J Blow told him "No." -: I "Then that settles it," said Barnato. "You are willing to accept the respon sibility of turning down this property at the price offered?" ; . ... ... ,' "Yes," was Blow's reply, ."but I want you to examine the reports, maps, assays, plans, etc.. and see the rea sons I have for my conclusions." "WhV should I do this?"- Barnato in quired. "You tell me that it is not 'good business, And as I cannot un derstand your report why should t waste my time on anything that is not good business?"

"The American voice Is better han dled at home than abroad," is the con clusion that years of experience have led Mr. Savage to reach, "for here it Is better understood than it Is there Vocal training acquired, Europe offers me advantage of generations of tradi tion and an opportunity to crystallize individual Ideas of interpretation Here the singer has his courses of technology; there he 'finds the Beaux Arts for polishing. "One thing that must be keenly, felt Dy Americans studying In Paris and who for years have spent their money ana ume there Is the chauvinistic at titude of the French toward American singers. "x'here are, It seems, 3,000 American music students in Paris. You can count on three fingers those In that number who will ever really 'arrive.' In many cases their people are slaving at nome to meet constant demands for more money. Yet those students have no more chance of a Paris en gagement than an Icicle In regions ultra tropical. "At the Paris Conservatoire, a most excellent institution, they bind native pupils on conclusion of study for years or appearances at French opera houses, In Paris there are the Grand Opera, the Opera Comlque and the Lyrique. all signing them for engage ments. From these they are in turn sublet to such outlying theaters as those of Bordeaux, Lyons and else where In the provinces. The French do not want the money to go out of the country. . - "And Rtlll the cry Is: 'Go to Paris to study! Co to Paris to studyf "-Wil liam Armstrong In AInslee's.

Installation of Bafety devices and the block signal system are cited for the record of the Harrlman railroads In carrying 49,491,000 , passenger in 1910 without sacrificing a single life. The report was compiled in the of fice of Julius Kruttschnltt, director of maintenance and operation, Chicago. It covers the business of the Union Pacific, South rn Pacific and affiliated roads, a total of 17,960 miles. : The to tal number of passengers carried on t mile basis is 3,000,000,000. The Harrlman system carried 10 per cent of the estimated 1910 passenger traffic. The figures for most of the other railroads have not yet been com piled by the government, but in 1909 the number of nftflSAnter m tried was 29,000,000.000. The figures for 1910, It is said, will not exceed a billion more. Many other railroads hava ' gone through a year without a fatality 'to any of its passengers, but it is said that no system has made this record for such a large total of passengers. Results or the Harrlman lines are ascribed to a campaign waged by the management for year to reduce acci dents. Tb TTarriman Bystem now has more miles of automatic block signal protection than any other system in the world. M:. Kruttschnltt has di r.fcted special attention to the acci dent problem, and began several years years ago to bring about a reduction by given complete publicity to all forms of accidents and their investiga tlons, which, it is belhved spurred of ficers and employes to greater efforts to safeguard Ives. In 1903-1904 the number of accidents on the Union Pacific was 20 for 1,000,- 000 locomotive miles. On the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific , the number of accidents per 1,000,000 loco motive miles was reduced from 29.5 to 10.5 in the same tlm?. and makes strong nerve that will stand the severest test 1 Men whp feel that their vitality is slipping away; that the vim and en ergyt hat they formally put Into all their work is lacking; that ambitious impulse and celever Ideas do not come as they used to are the kind of . men 'that need MI-O-NAy Besides being a peerless remedy for indigestion MI-O-NA is a most pro nounced tonic' If you have that blue, discontent ed teellng through the1 day and pass restlessnl ghta, trying unsuccessfully to. get a refreshing sleep, take a month's treatment of MT-O-NA sto mach tablets, and bring thr- sunshine Into your life, , ' V ' j Mil-ONA vosts but 50 cents at the i Newlln Drug Co and druggists every j where.
