Curious Cffct en Mount VnhvIui Product by tho Lava's Amaairh) Pro partial aa a Nonconductor of Heat Ooadly Voleanio Ashoo, Vesuvius, th most famous to lea do u the worlJ, with Its mighty Tomlt tugs of lara and dust, I guilt? of many queer freaks. Mighty rainstorms bare set In motion tbe lava dost and lava cinders tbat lie on Its sides, and torrents of muddy lata have over whelmed towns and Tillages as It swept down to the sea. The resnltlnf effect from this has been so great that it chanced the face of tbe coast line by forming a new promontory. Lava is one of the most curious of substances. It is simply rock melted by a "hwtt so intense that It flows like thin gruel. Worn 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 costing, which spreads over tbe entire coun tryside. But it is only on the top that it really cools. A few Inches below the sur face of the lava is often red hot Vis itors are often Invited to light their cigarettes In the chinks of a bed of lava tbat has been lying out In the open air for twenty years or more. It is the most wonderful noncon ductor of beat known. Borings made through some lava beds have shown that they are made up of layers of lara and layers of unnielted snow. As suc cessive torrents of lava came pouring down tbe surface that lay on tbe snow cooled at once, and the surface open to the air also cooled at once. But between the two surfaces there was blazing beat; so if you bored down through some lava beds yon would find a cool upper surface, a redhot Inside, a cool layer, snow, 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 you built a house entirely of lava on a scorching summer day you would still have 05 degrees inside when there was snow outside. If yon built it In the winter Ice would fonn jn your parlor in July. " This clerrly demonstrates what an extraordinary nonconductor lava is. There is, ln-leed, on tbe slopes of Vesuvius a little lava hut Into which summer visitors put bottles of wine to got them chilled. Mi hen a volcano throws its lava out 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 that spurts out with it. It bursts Into a fine spray and falls as dust dust far finer than any other dust 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 of infinitely fine dust sailed round and round the earth in the up per atmosphere and made England's sunsets of that year unusually splen did. It was three years before the upper air became quite clear again. Lara dust has the same properties cs lava. Shepherds on the slopes of Vesuvius sprinkle patches of snow In the winter with lava dust so tbat they may have It when the scorching days of summer arrive. It was lsva dust turned to mud by torrents of rain snch as usually come with volcanic outbursts, that, nearly 2,000 years ago, destroyed the famous pleasure city of Herculaneum, and it was showers of volcanic ashes that overwhelmed Pompeii. Herculaneum still lies nearly forty yards from the open nlr. There are rivers of lava mud tbat are blotting out towns and villages now. A curious point has always been noticed when Vesuvius is In eruption, and that is the strong odor of washing day that bangs 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 lav mud. Well, the reason Is that volcanic soil is always very fertile. Some of the best wine of Italy comes from Vesuvian vineyards, and people nre ready to take the risks. London American.

LAorfomoKET The Custom Official Hod tons of Humor Himoolf, In tbe smoking room of the UotW Crt lies Brltannlquea at the lovely re sort of Mcntone, oa the French IU vtera, some three year ago two Eng lishmen met After half an hour's con versa t Ion the Englishman front Manchester said to his new acquaint ance from London: "I say, old fellow, would you nilud taking small pared for me to Paris and have It sent to this address there? I'm leaving fur Milan in tbe morning." Tbe Londoner willingly consented to do this much fur one of bis country men. "Awfully good of you. Ml have the boy take the parcel to your room in the morning.' acknowledged the Eng lishman bound for Milan. In tbe morning the package was left at the other's room. "So that 1 what he calls small parcel,' he exclaimed. "And what might It contain? A package of such slse tbe custom o (Boers would certain ly want opened.' What cigarettes and 3.000 of them! Is it possible that any one could have the audacity to ask such a favor to smuggle 8,000 ciga rettes into France! That chap shall pay for this, for I shall declare these cigarettes and leave them to be called for when tbe duty is paid." The Londoner left Mentone that aft ernoon. The following day he was In Paris at the Gar de I'Eat, bis luggage ready for examination. "Anything dutlabler asked the cus toms officer. "Nothing." replied the Englishman, "excepting tn that parcel there." "What does It contain?" "Three thousand cigarettes," said the Londoner, with a smile upon his face a smile of embarrassment at having such a parcel with him. The Frenchman raised his hands tn the air and laughed heartily. He, too, was as ready for a good Joke as any one, and on each piece of the English man's luggage went bis O. K. cross. Hardly realizing what bad happened, tbe Londoner found himself riding tn a taxlcab along the streets of Paris with the parcel of 3.000 cigarettes un der his arm and nothing left to do but to deliver It as be had been asked.

Those who have visited Monte Car lo have beard of if not seen the pitiful ruin of many an unfortunate person who has lost his last franc tn playing at roulette in that palatial gambling den. All are not so fortunate as to nave an armored cruiser at their dis posal, as was the case with a French naval officer aome years ago. He bad gone ashore in the morning with naught in bis pockets but bis own earnings. By noon It was all gone. If he but had another BOO francs he was sure of winning. During those morning hours of failure he had work ed out a system, and with Just a few francs more success was certain. He would use the ship's money. Perhaps it was not Just tbe right thing to do, but in another two hours be would be able to return it, would have recouped his own loss and have won who knows what fortune besides. At sunset be returned to bis ship a ruined man. The system, like all sys tems of the sort, had failed. What was to be done? To return home would mean a dishonorable discharge, lifelong disgrace, if not even more se vere punishment. Death seemed the only alternative. But no; he would make one final attempt to save him self. He would force the authorities of Monte Carlo to return to him what he had lost or be would blow up their gambling palace! As soon as he was again on board bis order was: "Clear decks for action. Baise tbe muzzle of every gun and let them point toward the heights of Mo naco." r Whatever the sailors might think of such an. order mattered little; obey they must. With all haste a messen ger was sent ashore with a note, and the captain meanwhile paced tbe deck In silence awaiting the reply-a reply which meant life or death to him. Finally the messenger returned car rying a bag of gold coins. Tbat night the French cruiser weighed ancnor and quietly steamed out into the Medi terranean, her captain happy that he had fared no worse and the authorities of Monte Carlo only too glad to be rid of so dangerous a visitor.
