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

What's In a Name?
| The late king of Siam had for a full

does not include his titles. A wag in
Bombay saw it in the paper when the
ruler was visiting that city and was
being received l>y the British officials
and passed it over to a young Irish
subaltern with the challenge that he
pronounce it. The young fellow look
ed ut it a moment and then handed it
back. He said be was not long enough
winded, but he was sure he could play
it on the garrison club piano if the in
strument were a couple of octaves
longer. The king's uncle, however,
who was also a prince high priest, had
for one name alone the following col

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.

Fayetteville, N. C. R. F. D. No. 8.
“for we both had frightful coughs
that no other remedy could help.

Why He Wanted References.
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

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.

8cott Relics at Abbotsford.
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
