ERUPTION OP KRAKATOA.

The follotcino detcHption fcy Sir
Robert Ball of the eruption of Kraka
toa trifl be read ei tpecial interett
at the pretent- time. It t taken from
hit book, "The Earth' Beginning," re
cently publinhed 6y . Applcton A Co.
Until the year 1883 few had ever
heard of Krakatoa. It was not In
habited, but the natives from the sur
rounding shores of Sumatra and Java
used occasionally to draw their canoes
up on Its beach while they roamed
through the Jungle In search of the
wild fruits. The Island seemed to owe
Its existence to some frightful eruption
of bygone days, but for a couple of
centuries there had been no fresh out
In 1883 Krakatoa suddenly sprang
Into notoriety. Insignificant though It
had hitherto seemed, the little Island
was soon to compel by its tones of
thunder the whole world to pay It in
stant attention. It waa to become the
scene of a volcanic outbreak so appall
ing thai It la destined to be remem
bered throughout the ages.
At first the eruption did not threaten
to be of any serious type. In fact, the
good people of Batavia, so far from be
ing terrified at what waa In progress
in Krakatoa. thought the display was
such an attraction that they chartered
a steamer and went forth for a pleas
ant picnic to the island. Many of us,
I am sure, would have been delighted
to have been able to join the party
who were to witness so Interesting a
spectacle. With cautious step the
more venturesome of the excursion
party clambered up the aides of the
volcano, guided by the sounds which
were isuing from its summit. There
they beheld a vat column of steam
pouring forth with terrific noise from
a profound opening about thirty yards
in width.
As the summer of this dread year
advanced, the vigor ef Krakatoa stead
ily Increased. The noises became more
and more vehement. These were pres
ently audible on shores ten miles dis
tant, and then twenty mllea distant,
uutil the great thunders of the vol
cano, now so rapidly developing, as
tonished the Inhabitants' that dwelt
over au area at least as large as Great
Britain, and there were other symp
toms of the approaching catastrophe.
Wllb each successive convulsion a
quantity of fine dust was projected
aloft into the clouds. The wiud could
not cairy this dust away as rapidly as
it whs hurled upward by Krakatoa, and
accordingly the atmosphere became
heavily charged with auspended parti
cles. A pall of darkness thus hung
over the adjoining sea and islands.
Such was the thickness and the density
of tbeee atmospheric volumes of
Krakatoa dust that for a hundred
miles arouud the darkness of midnight
prevailed at midday. ' Then the awful
tragedy of KraKatoa took place. Many
thousands of the unfortunate inhab
itants of the adjacent shores of Su
matra aud Java were degtluad never to
behold the sun again. They were pres
ently swept away to destruction in au
invasion or the shore by the tremen
dous waves with' which the seas sur
rounding Krakatoa were agitated.
The development or the volcauic en
ergy proceeded, aud gradually the ter
ror of the inhabitants of the surround
ing coasts rose to a climax. July bad
ended before the uiauifestatlona of
Krakatoa bad attained tbeir full vio
lence. By the middle or August the
panic was widespread, for the supreme
catastrophe was at hand.
On the night of Sunday, August 26,
1883, the blackness of the dust clouds,
now much thicker than ever In the
Straits or Suuda and adjacent parts or
Sumatra and Java, waa ouly occasion
ally illumined: by lurid flashes from
the volcano. The Krakatoa thunder
were on the polut of attaining their
complete development. At the town of
Batavia, a hundred miles distant, there
was no quiet that night The bouses
trembled with the subterranean vio
lence, and the windows rattled as if
heavy artillery were being discharged
in the streets, aud still these efforts
seemed to be ouly rehearsing for the
supreme display. On the morning of
Monday, August 27, 1883, the rehears
als were over aud the performance be
gan. An overture, consisting of two
or three Introductory explosion, was
succeeded by a frtghtrul convulsion
which tore away a large part of the
Island or Krakatoa and scattered it to
the winds or heaven.
This aupreme effort it waa which
produced the mightiest noise that, so
far aa we can ascertain, has ever been
heard on this globe. It must have been
Indeed a loud noise which could travel
from Krakatoa to Batavia aud pre
serve it vehemence over go great a
distance; but we should form a very
inadequate conception of the energy
of the eruption of Krakatoa if we
thought that its sounds were beard by
those merely a hundred miles off. This
would be little Indeed compared with
what la recorded, on tetiuiocywhleb
It Is Impossible to doubt.
Westward from Krakatoa stretches
the wide expanse of the Indian Ocean.
On the orposlte side from the Strait
of Sunda Ilea the Island of Rodriguez,
the distance from Krakatoa being al
most 3,000 miles. It baa been proved
by evidence which caunot be doubted
that the thunder of the great volcano
attracted the atteutlon of an Intelli
gent coastguard on Rodrlguei, who

Illustration, let us suppose that a sim

a central pesltion in tne unitea owt".
Let ua say, for example, that an explo
sion occurred at Pike' Peak a

would certainly startle not a little the
Inhabitant of Colorado far and wide.
The ear of dweller In the neighbor
ing State would receive a consider
able shock. With lessening Intensity
the sound would npread much farther
around Indeed,-it might be beard all
over the United State. The sonorous
wave would roll over to the Atlantic
coast; they would be heard on the
shores of the Paclflc. Florida would
not be too far to the south, nor Alaska
too remote to the north. If. Indeed,
we could believe that the sound would
travel as freely over the great conti
nent as It. did across the Indian Ocean,
then we may boldly assert that every
ear In North America might listen to
the thunder from Pike's Peak, If It
rivaled Krakatoa. Can we doubt that
Krakatoa made the greatest noise that
has ever been recorded?
Among the many other Incident
connected with this explosion, I may
specially mention the wonderful sys
tem of divergent ripplee that started
in our atmosphere from the point at
which the eruption took place. The
initial Impetus was so tremendous that
these waves spread for hundreds and
thousand of miles. They diverged,
in fact, until they put a mighty girdle
round the earth, on a great circle of
which Krakatoa was the pole. The at
mospheric waves, with the whole earth
now well in their grasp, advanced into
the opposite hemisphere. Jn their
progress they had necessarily to form
gradually contracting circles, until at
last thpy converged to a point In Cen
tral America, at the very opposite
point of the diameter of our earth,
8.000 mile from Krakatoa. Thus the
waves completely embraced the earth.
Every part of our atmosphere had
been set' into a tingle by the great

who have returned to Berlin after hav

a balloon ascension, during which they
completely disappeared. The two men
were blown all the way from Berlin to

The story of their flight ia one of the
most thrilling in the history of bal

The two balloonist, caught In the

terrific speed for three day, unable to
make a descent witnout ueiug umu
to death.
Aa the wind seemed to slacken, the
balloonist opened their valve, prepar

clouds that .the open sea was beneath
them. They tried to saui tne vaive,
but were only partly successful.

Wolff, wno cllmoea up to tne coraagu
surrounding the gas bag to do it But
the balloon still dropped nearer the
sea. Finally, desperate, the balloon
Ists climbed Into the balloon's rigging
and cut the basket from under them.
Clinging to the cordage about the
balloon, the two men hung between
hope and fear for a few moments as

The thought came into their minds
simultaneously that one must drop on

But slowly the. bag began to rise once

CLUNG TO CORDAGE FOR HOURS.
After clinging for hours to the cor
dage, thousands of feet in the air over
the sea, the two soldiers made out the
land. As soon as it was safe, the valve
was opened again, and the balloon was
allowed to descend slowly. The two
men landed In a snow bank within a

They had to walk two miles, almost
exhausted, through the snow, and col
