TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT JANUARY 19, 1911 WONDERS OF LAVA This Molten Rock Is a Most Pe culiar Substance. REDHOT SNOW SANDWICHES. Curious Effect on Mount Vesuvius Produced by the Lava’e Amazing Properties as a Nonconductor of Heat—Deadly Volcanic Ashes. Vesuvius, the most famous volcano ’u the world, with its mighty vomit- mgs of lava and dust, is guilty of many queer freaks. Mighty rainstorms have set tn 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 fnce 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 beat so Intense that it flows like thin gruel. When Vesuvius Is iu erup tion thousands of tons of it nre 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 spreuds over the 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 that has been lying out in the open air for twenty years or more. It is 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 suow. As suc cessive torrents of lava came injuring 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 lava beds you would find a cool upper surface, a redliot inside, a cool layer, snow, a cool layer, a redliot one, a cool one and then snow again. In fact, a layer of lava will let nei ther beat nor cold through. If you built a house entirely of lava on a scorching summer day you would still have 95 degrees Inside when there was snow outside. If you built it iu the winter Ice would form In your parlor in July. This clearly demonstrates what an extraordinary nonconductor lava is. There is, indeed, on the slopes of Vesuvius a little lava hut into which summer visitors put bottles of wine to get them chilled. When a volcano throws its lava out with such tremendous force that It jets high into the air it very often falls in tile form of dust, owing to the explosive power of I he high pressure steam that spurts out with it. It bursts Into a tine spray and falls as dust—dust far finer than any other dust known. It Is so tine. 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. Lava dust has the same properties 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 by torrents of rain such 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 aslies that overwhelmed PompeU. Herculaneum still lies nearly forty yards from the open air. There are rivers of lava mud that are blotting out towns and villages now. A curious point has always been noticed when Vesuvius is in eruptlou. and that Is the strong odor of washing day that hangs around the mountain. One might wonder why the slopes of such a mountain are so thickly I>opuiated when there is always dan ger of eruptions and of avalanches of lava mud. Well, the reason is that volcanic soil is always very fertile. Some of the best wine of Italy comes from Vesuvian vineyards, aud people are ready to take the risks.—London American.

Starve a Cold. Nature, as a rule, takes the appetite away when one is coming down with a co’d or other infectious disease, and nature is wise. Don't coax Mary to eat when she has a cold. Don't allow the neighbors to tempt Johnny with calf's foot jelly or other dainties. When suffering from a cold the diges tive organs are in no condition to care for food. The digestive Juices are al tered or entirely absent. One or two days’ comparative fast will often as sist in averting a severe siege of cold. A more convenient and enjoyable form of fasting would be to subsist for uue or two days upon fruit or fruit Juices perhaps, with the addition of a little toast. An exclusive fruit diet has all the practical advantages of complete fasting, while It satisfies the appetite and supplies sugar from which the liv er cau manufacture glycogen to sus tain the white blood corpuscles In their continuous warfare against mi crobes.—William 8. Sadler In Designer. Giving Him Carte Blanche. A few years ago John Kendrick Bangs, the humorist, told a number of his Broadway literary confreres that he felt particularly elated over an or der he had just received from Henry W. Savage, the theatrical producer, for the libretto of a musical comedy. The play was produced a few months later. During the long period of re hearsals so much of Bungs’ material was eliminated and so much other ma terial inserted in its stead that when the curtain went up on the first night not more than half a dozen of the original lines remained. About a week later a friend, meet ing Bungs, asked him If he was writ ing auy more playa for Savage. "Yes.” replied Bangs. “Only nn hour ago I sent him 500 blank sheets of palter and told him to go as far as he liked.”—Irvin Cobb In New York Tribune. Anthony Trollope's First Earnings. A literary man recalls Anthony Trol lope’s little gloat over the first fruits of his pen. "I send you a copy of 'The Warden,' ” he wrote to Lord Houghton in 1806, “which Mr. Lougtnnn assures me is the lust of the first edition. There were, I think, only 750 printed, a id they have been over ten years in hand. But I regard the book with af fection, as I made £9 2s. 6d. by the first year's sales, having previously writ ten and published for ten years with out any such goldeu result. Since then I have Improved even upon that.” Trollope, of course, “improved upon that" iu no uncertain fashion.—West minster Gazette.

At a credit meu's dinner one of the veterans told this story: “in the recon struction days a man from a Missis sippi valley town came to our weetern bouse one day. We bad sold him be fore iu a small way, and be always paid. He bad enlarged bls business, he told us. and wanted a bigger line than usual, but before makiug his se lections lie wanted us to give him ref erences. We expressed surprise at such an unbeard of demaud, but he said, 'My two brothers-in-law have gone iu with me, and they're very par- ticular as to whom they do business with.’ So we sent him to our banks, and he came back, said we were all right, picked out a big line of goods, aud in sixty days he ‘busted.’ We couldn’t collect a dollar. Two years later I met the man in Cincinnati and told him we bad become reconciled to our loss. 'But will you please tell me,’ I asked, ‘why did you waut references as to our credit?’ ‘Well, you see,' he answered, ‘I wanted to know if you eould stand it.’”—Exchange. Foley Kidney Pills Are tonic in action, quick in re- SllltS. A special medicine for all kindney and bladder disorders. Mary C. . Abbott. Wolfeboro, N.H., says : ” 1 was afflicted with a bad case of rheumatism due to uric acid that my kidneys failed to clear out of my blood. I was so lame in my feet, joints and back that it was agony for me to stop. I used Foley Kidney Pills for three days when 1 was able to get up ami move about .and the pains were all gone. This great change in condition I owe to Foley's Kidney Pill and recommend them to anyone suffering as I have. —C. I. Clough. No Law's Delay Here. In Perak, iu the Malay peninsula, lawyers find no business, for a modi fied form of trial by ordeal decides all disputes, iu place of the legal practi tioner the pleader is u native boy who is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given a bamboo tube in which is sealed the pleadiug of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes are driven into the bed of a stream, and by uid of a bamboo i>ole the heads of the two boys are submerged at the same time. By grasping the stakes they are euabled to remain under wa ter for quite awhile after their natural Inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives in and, releasing his bold of the stake, comes to the ah’. He is immediately seized, and the tube he bolds is cast aside. The other lad is led ashore, his tube opened, and the document con tained therein stands as the decision in the case.

The present estate of Abbotsford was formed during the years 1811 to 1817 from various small farms, the first one purchased bearing the “inharmo nious designation’' Clarty Hole. After Sir Walter Scott's death in 1831 a com mittee of friends collected £8,000 to ward the redemption of the estate, and Mr. Cadell, the publisher, contributed the rest on receiving the rights over Scott’s works. The library and mu seum had been given some years be fore by the creditors. As bis son, Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on his way home from India, the prop erty descended to J. II. Lockhart, his son-in-law, and thence to his daugh ter's husband, J. II. Ilope-Scott, whose daughter held the estate for some years. Many Scott relics are preserv ed in the house, notably his chair and writing table in the study and bis hat and gloves in the ball.—London Stand ard.
