VOLCANOES. They Are Not Burning Mountains Wo Understand That Term. "What arc volcanoes?" Nino out of every ten persons would Immediately liavu an answer of Home sort to tho question above, for have they not a lively remembrance of hav ing learned In their schoolbooks that "a volcano Is a burning mountain, from tho summit of which are sent out smoke and flames?" This popular fancy has been exploded by scientists, whose work Is to cxplodo popular fancies. In tho first place, volcanoes aro not necessarily mountains. In reality they aro Just tho reverse that is, holes in the earth's crust. Out of these am thrown tho materials which, accutnu In ting, form tho heaps which wo popu larly call mountains. These are, then, tho result and not tho cause of the action. Neither arc they "burning," as wo understand the term. Thcro is no combustion nor any nctlon wo might reasonably call "burning." Tho nctlon need not necessarily take placo at the summit, for eruptions arc just as frequent at the sides or oven nt tho base. Tho so called "smoko" Is nothing more or less thnn tho clouds of condensing steam which arc formed on every occasion when nn eruption occurs. Lastly, the "Unities," so culled, are merely tho reflection of the, mass of molten rock mid material Inside the crater on the clouds of steam aliove, thus appearing as n glowing light. Tho friction, too, sol up by the motion of the materials causes electricity, and henco the lightning discharges which odd to tho Illuminating effect. Pear son's .Magnzluc. VOTED WITHOUT BALLOTS. An Election Day at Charlottesville, Vfl., In 1804. At Charlottesville, Vn tho seat of Albemarle county, according to Miss Mary Johnston's chronicle of "Lewis Hand," they wcro voting for a mem ber of tho hoiiso of delegates. It was tho fourth Wednesday In April. The year was 1801. "Under the locust trees to tho right of tho open gatu were placed long ta bles and on them three mighty punch bowls, Hanked by drinking cups and guarded by limine servants of venera ble nppcnranru and stately manners. Hero good Federalists refreshed them selves. To tlio left of tho gate, upon tho trampled grnss beneath n mulber ry, appeared other punch bowls and In addition n barrel of whisky ready broached for all good Demoorat-lte-publicans. Tho sunny street was Mini with horses, vehicles and servants; the broad path between tho trees, the turf on either hand and tho courthouse steps wero crowded with riotous vot ers. All ranks of society, all ages, oc cupations and opinions, met In tln gen ial weather beneath tho trees, where sang every bird of spring." Within tho voiirthoiiso tho iilierltf presided. Conspicuous sat the two can didates. Thcro wero no ballots, but each voter mado known his choice by living voice: "I vote, sir," cried tho colonel, "for Mr, I.mlwell Cary, for a gentleman and n patriot, sir, and may tho old county never bo represented but by such I" The Money Otrm. Tho Ilaltlmoro Hun conies out with n warning that probably few will heed. It tuiys, "Don't lot tho money genus blto you," and adds that a mini who has taken the trouble to count 'em Hays that 11 1.000 bacteria roost comfortably on each ono dollar bill after tho currency has been circulat ing freely for n year or ho. Ho If you have f.'iO In your pocket you are prob ably carrying around nbout O.VOO.OOO germs. "Vet," says tho Hun. "there nro men brave enough to faro this terrlblo risk Just for Hie sake of hav ing a roll of greenbacks, It simply shows what danger man will under go for money. Most of us, however, aro not In serious danger." Qarlbaldl'a Simplicity of Character. An liiHtaueo of (Jarlhaldl's modesty and simplicity of character Is afforded by tho followVig letter, written to Ids wife at C'aprera the day after tho bat tie of Dlglon: , IH-nr rranct'nca-Yfulenlay tho Italian volunteore fouiihl the whole iluy UKSlnat the I'ruMluna, the beat tuiMlora In tho world, and won, Thu wvuther lioro I very rolil, unit li U anouliiK.
