Country Has From Earliest Times Been Devastated by Turbulent

Forces of Nature.

Java, with a territory about equal to New York state, has more volcanoes than any area of like size, and yet lias more inhabitants than the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Texas combined. A bulletin of the National Geographic society finds that estimates of the active and extinct eratid's range from 1W to lod. "Everywhere In Java, In the hug" crater lakes. In fissures that now are river beds, even In ancient temples, ha I f-finis'hed win n interrupted by some lin y convulsion, are evidences of cataclysmic forces—such turbulent forces a- now are in continuous hysteria in the valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes in Alaska and break their enisled surface cage intermittently in •ho a.” The late eruption of the Kbit (or Kalut) volcano cost tho lives of ■iuOOO natives, destroyed 20,<X)0 acres of crops by the flow of hot mud. and did millions of dollars’ damage ouiside I v Ihe falling ashos. This devastation, however, was mild compared with the violent upheaval of ISK!, when Mothi r Nature planted a Gargantuan Infernal machine on the Java doorstep at Krnkana. The terrific detonati ai was heard In Australia, as fur away as El I’uso is from New York, min h of tin* Island was blown Into the air l. er times as high as the highest mountain, and the hole left under water where tni.si of the Island had he. n is .i i 1 .

f ji ^IIA I’, literally, is tlie reason why the American has won the proud distinction ot being the best edu-

cated man in the world.

Recall e a cheap, dependable illuminating oii made from petroleum was developed lirst in tlie i nited States, the people of . Lis country had the opportunity of studying late into the night long before such luxury was possible elsewhere. The petroleum industry, in which the Standard Oil Company was a pioneer, has made it possible, even in remote places, lor man to read, study and acquire knowledge in comfort, after the day’s work is done. The tremendous development of America shows that the American has ‘“burned the midnight oil" to good purpose. 'Hie seven men who manage the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), the 19,568 men and women who carry on the business, and the tG’.'.'J stockholders, all are proud of the tact that their Company has been, and is. such a potent influence in the development of the nation. 'loday the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates the greatest and most complete retinery in the world, together with several others of lesser output. throughout 11 states the Company distributes the refined products so thoroughly that even those in the remote coriK rs are able, at all times, to get their requirements at a low price. Thus is shown another marked benefit accruing to all from the activities of the Sta idurd Oil Company (Indiana) as a public servant.

flamingo lo:;g a A'.YSTEOY To American Naturalist Belongs Honor of Learning Habits cf Really Remarkable B rd. Until comparatively few y : rs tisn the habits of, the Jhitnliiko. without doubt Ihe most remarkable of all living birds, were n tantalizing mystery to naturalists. In 1004 the first | heregraphs of nesting flamingoes were secured by Ur. Frank M. Chapman of the scientific s|;iff of the American museum. The group was construeled from photographs and no; ■< made during his Investigations, and from specimens secured by him. riat.ili; mes occur In the warmer parts of both hemisphei^'s. The Ainerlemi flamingo —the most brightly colored of the genus—ranges from the Bahamas and ■southern Florida to Brazil and the Galapagos. For nests flamingoes ertef curious mounds of mud, from S to 13 Inches high, and measuring about 22 Inehes In diameter tit the base and 14 Inches across the top. A depression, about one Inch deep, in the top of the nest, holds the single egg, laid in May. Both male and female incubate. When the young are hatched they are covered with a down like that of young ducks. They develop their brilliant plumage In their second year. For their first three or four days they remain In the nest, and are fed by the parents on predigested food. At about three M et ks of age they enter upon their adult diet of crustaceans.

What Became of Her? Thenihisin. the only daughter of Anrnn Burr, was a woman of superior mental accomplishments anil strong affections. In her eighteenth year she miis married to Joseph Alston, afterward governor of Souih Carolina, vhe was n devoted and adored wife. The trial of her father for treason and his virtual banishment not only depi »'-ed her spirits hut fearfully wieeked her already feeble constitution. yet his disgrace in no wny lessened her affection. When he returned from Europe she resolved to visit him In'. New York. Embarking from South Carolina on the Patriot, or the thirteenth day of January, 1S13, she wns never heard of afterward. Tlie schooner may have fallen Into the hands of pirates; hut ns n heavy gale was experienced for several days soon after leaving Georgetown, Ihe probability Is that the craft sunk.
