WHEN A VOLCANO BELCHES.
Phanomana That Attended tho Erup
tion of Taal Mountain.
Tho eruption of Taal volcano, in the
Philippine Islands, which took place
Jan. SO. 1011. and caused n loss of
1,300 lives, has been the subject of a
large number of Important papers in
tho scientific journals, besides the offi
cial reports of the Philippine? bureau
of science. One of tho most graphic
descriptions is that of 'Rev. M. Sader
ra Mnso, which is published as a spe
cial bulletin of the Philippine weather
bureau, says tho Scientific American
This account Is noteworthy for the at
tention devoted to tho meteorological
and selsmological features of tbe erup
tlon. and In this respect it is an lm
portant contribution to tho science of
rulcanology.
This volcano has been tho seat of re
peated disastrous eruptions, the great
st of which was that of 1754. All the
eruptions of which a record has been
preserved have had tbe same charac
ter as the receqt one, consisting of
violent explosions which hurled the
volcanic products to great distances.
The huge vapor column of tbo last
explosion, rose to a height of from 20,
000 to 80,'O0O feet and was seen 250
miles away, whero It was mistaken
for a distant thunderstorm. One re
markablo feature of tbo volcano is that
no lava has ever issued from it in a
liquid state, tho ejecta being blown to
dust and nshea by tho pressure of
gases or steam.
Tho late eruption appears to have
been marked by unusually magnificent
displays of volcanic lightning. For
three days preceding the eruption n
constant succession of seismic shocks
were felt over a wiflo nron. and they
caused much alarm in Mnnlla until the
weather bureau located tho epicenter
in tbe region of tho Taal volcano.
The partial vacuum produced nt tbe
moment of tbo explosion and tho re
sulting diminution of atmospheric pres
sure sot up strong winds blowing in to
ward tho volcano. This wind was felt
as far away as Manila, thirty-nine
miles. At points nearer tho volcnnu
It assumed almost hurriciuio violence,
Impeding tho movemonta, of people who
wore tryiug to flee against it, produc
ing tremendous" waves on Lake Bom
bon, causing sheets of iron roofing to
fly. about Htc... AtjR dlstaxice of four-,
teen miles Father Maso saw'the cogon
grass lying llko wheat which had. been
beaten down by a Btorra. He is of tho
opinion that the wind assumed a rotary
motion In accordance with the general
laws of storms, so as to produce a
transient tornado or whirlwind. The
atmospheric waves propagated out
ward from tho volcano were recorded
on blographs to a distance of 200 miles.
An Earthquako Inotdent
An amusing Incident occurred during
tho earthquake which recently passed
over southern Germany. At Attach, la
tho Rhino valley, the owner of a
houao was awakened by the earth
quake Just in time to see a huge -ward-rob
tottering on Its pedestal. The
owner at once enmo to tho conclusion
that a thief was concealed In tbo ward
robe and called to his son to come with
a revolver. A council of war was held,
and as a summons to tho thief to come
forth, produced no effect it was decided
to drivo him out with tho revolver. A
numbor of shots wero tired into tho
wardrobe, and when tho revolver was
empty and tho thief had glvon no sign
the wardrobe was opened. All that
was found, however, were tho Bun
day garments of the owner and his son
riddled with bullet holes.
A Man Eating ShaHc
Sclcnco aud tho heirs of the late
Jules Antolno must regrot that Hor
mann Oelrlchs did not live to this dnV
that he might have had conclusive evi
dence of a man eating shark. Inci
dentally the Antolne heirs would have
been $2,000 better off, for it la said
that Mr. Oelrlchs had a standing offer
of that amount for proof, he being
Bkoptlcal. Antolne, a Pen8acola (Fla.)
man, fell overboard recently, and a.
twelvo foot Bhark did tho rest. The
crow of a British steamer witnessed
tho event captured the shark, cut it

The jplan worked beautifully "of

There wasa' busy time with the

of shipping fresh trout to Frye's homo

"You received the bait by mistake.
