SOME HEW VOLCANOES.

Ittj Mapped ta the Last Vow or Eire - Years. Volcanoes have been conapicuous for their absence from all descriptions that geographers and explorers have written of Siberia. There are, to be sure, important areas whose predominating rocks are crystalline, evidence of plutonio energy in both the older and younger geological formation*; but in the vast expanse of Siberia, save in Eamtschatka, not an extinct or a live volcano has been reported until this year. Kamtschatka has many volcanoes, the only ones in Russian territory that are still active, and these are unusually impressive. Their summits are always smoking, and often glow with molten lava, though they are clad in eternal snow and are covered with glaciers. Explorers, however, have just reported the discovery of two volcanoes in eastern Siberia about 250 miles north of the present terminus of the Siberian railroad. It is probable that they are extinct, for though their situation is described, there is no intimation that they are in the active phase. These volcanoes are west of the Jablonoi mountain range on the Witim highland or plateau, 300 miles or more east of the north end of Lake Baikal. Although the range and plateau are indicated on the best maps, very little has been known of that part of Siberia. Many new volcanoes have been brought to light within the past four or five years. Prof. Carl Sapper has mapped more volcanoes, hitherto unknown, probably, than any other explorer in the past half century. He had been working in Central America, whose mountains have not yet been adequately explored. Counting only volcanoea of the first order, which he discovered in his journey of 1897, Sapper added to the map of Central America 81 volcanoes, of which 23 are still active. Much yet remains to be done before the Andes can be said to be completely explored, and there is little doubt that a number of important volcanoes will be added to the present list. The most interesting result of the Fitzigerald expedition to the middle Chilian-Argentine Cordilleras, in 1897, was the discovery of a new volcano by the Swiss guide Zurbriggen and the geologist Vines when they made the ascent of Mount Tupungato. It was then in a state of moderate eruption. The volcanic region of Ecuador has been the scene, in recent years, of thorough exploration work. Dr. Stubel’s book, one of the most recent works on volcano exploration, contains numerous illustrations showing the form, color and structure of the four active and many extinct volcanoes of Ecuador, with Dr. Peter’s determination of heights and Dr. Wolfs map of the volcanic region. The study of volcanoes is keeping pace with other phases of the minute geographical exploration which is now following the era of the great travelers.—Brooklyn Eagle.

AN OLD THEORY CHALLENGED.

Recent Researches Tend to Prove That Matter Cgn Be Destroyed. The whole system of modern chemistry is based upon the axiom of the indestructibility of matter, and that indestructibility is proved by the permanence of the weight of a given substance through all the physical or chemical stages it is made to undergo. Any experiments, therefore, which shake our belief in that primary property of matter must have a far-reach-ing effect. Landolt’s classical researches in 1893 embodied the first work done with all the modern instruments of precision. Certain minute changes of weight were then placed in evidence, and these have since been confirmed. A. Heydweiller has endeavored to trace some connection between the change of weight and the changes in other physical properties, such as magnetic permeability, electrolytic dissociation and material or optjfal density. He has failed to trace any such connection, though he has distinctly established a diminution of weight of about one part in 60,000,000 in a number of reactions, such as the mixture of copper sulphate with water, where a lost of weight of one milligramme was observed. Researches such as these take place in the extreme borderland of science, but the logical outcome of the results would be nothing less than the destruction of matter.—A. Heydweiller, in Physikalische Zeitschrift.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent: The administration is determined that there shall be an extra session of the next Congress. That is now as plain as the nose on your face. Mr. Mckinley is talking up a settlement of the Cuban question as the reason, but if the ship subsidy job had been allowed to go through he woold have probably discovered that an extra session would not be necessary to deal with Cuba. But there are other strings to the extra session bow, and it would not be surprising if the republican leaders in Congress so manipulated things that one or more of the big appropriation bills failed to get through at this session, and then tried to raise a howl that it was the democrats who were to blame for the extra session that the failure would make neceagary. Neither would it be surprising if the River and Harbor bill,, which is to be reported to the Senate this week, also failed to get through. That would reduce the total of the appropriations made by this Congress— a total that has thoroughly alarmed the] republican leaders since the press of the country, regardless of politics, have opened up on it. Then there is the bill for the reduction of war taxes, which is dead locked in conference ami in a fair way to fail, because the House conferees encouraged by Secretary Gage and other rrembers-of the administraI tion, refuses to accept the cut in j beer and tobacco taxes made by the Senate. The Senate is now considering the oleomargarine bill, but whether that measure is to < be voted ou or merely be used as a club to kill time is not yet [ clear. One thing is very certain, and that is that the intelligent people of the country know that the democrats will not be respons- ! ible for the failure of any regular ; appropriation bill. They have at ; all times assisted in disposing of i the appropriation bills, as fast as ! they were ready, and have repeat- | edly warned the republicans that | they were wasting time on the j Ship Subsidy bill that should have been devoted to the ApproI priation bills.

The U. 8. Government would have saved money had Congress appropriated an amount equal to what would be received from the sale of tickets to the Inaugural ball, toward the expensese of Mr. McKinley’s second inauguration, as the receipts from the sale of those tickets will be very much less than $50,000, which represents the costs to the government, of allowing the Pension building to be used for the Inaugural ball, not to mention the delay in the work of the bureau that will be caused by the holiday of all of its employes from Feb. 27th, until March 7.

Senator Teller destroyed the last hope of the looters in their ability to push the Ship Subsidy bill through at this session, when he said: “In the interests of puplic business, I desire to give notice that this Ship Subsidy bill cannot pass.” Senator Aldrich pretended to be much suprised and said that he had not before any positive notice that no vote would be allowed on the bill. Senator Teller spoke of three repnblican Senators who had gone to him and expressed the hope that the bill weald not be voted upon, and then said:

“There is a strong sentiment among the republican Senators, shared by probably half of them that this bill ought not to pass. I am notsnprised, for no other bill, ever presented to the Senate, carried upon its face Buch evidence of jobbery as the Ship Subsidy bill.” Senator Hanna got terribly worked up while Mr. Teller and other Senators were saying things showing the impossibility of passing the Ship Subsidy bill, and made a speech in which he vituaily took the ground that the reelection of Mr. McKinley was a verdict of the people in favor of of the Ship Subsidy bill and any other measure he might favor—in plain words, that he alone had a right to say what appropriations of public money should be made. Instead of showing that the subsidy bill was not a looting scheme, Mr. Hanna declared that the River and Harbor bill contained appropriations “that would make the Shipping bill look pale.” Representative Babcock’s bill to repeal that section of the Dingley tarriff law, imposing duties on such articles as are manufactured by the newly-formed Morgan Steel Trust, is not likely to be allowed to pass by the republican bosses, more’s the pity, but it has stirred up the republicans in Congress, many of whom are expressing views worthy of goo<} anti-trust democrats, for instance Representative Landis, of Indiana, said: “I am heartily in favor of the bill to remove the duty from steel and iron and kindred products. And the commendation that bill will receive from every nook and corner of the country, will surprise some gentlemen, especially the magnates who boldly and in defiance of public sentiment, have organized the most gigantic industrial combination in history. The people will expect this Congress to teach these ungrateful beneficiaries of their bounty a lesson, and if the next session of Congress does not do if, the people will send one that will. An anarchist is not necesarilly a poor man. A trust that destroys legitimate competition by brutal arbitrary power, is just as much of an anarchist as the fellow who destroys a building with a bomb. I am against both of them.”

Recoveries From Grip.

President McKinley is slowly recovering from grip and its after effects. Speaker Henderson is again in his chair in the House of Representatives after a severe attack of the grip. Mrs. E. I. Masters, at her home in Monitor, Ind., used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pills and was well in a few days. Mrs. A. E. Lopeer, in the little town of Modelia, Minn., used Dr. Miles Pain Pills and Nerve and Liver Pills and was well in a few days. Rev. C. Body wrsit. a serious condition at his home in St. Paris, 0., but Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills pulled him through all right. George J. Flannery was relieved of the awful pains in his head in fifteen minutes, by the use of Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills. Now he is rapidly recovering at his home in Buffalo, N. Y. J. C. Helfrey, foreman at the Westinghouse factory in East Pittsburg, had a £evei e attack of grip, but he’ used Dr. Miles’Nervine and Pain Pills and was soon back in *his place. /

TO CURE THE GRIP.

Advice of a Famous Pysldan. First and foremost, REST. Take care of yourself. Your already weakened nerves want rest, and must havn it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatalities result from neglect of this precaution than from any other cause. Eat sparingly. s Your digestive oranges are in no condition to take care of large quantities of food. Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys to action and open up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver pills. Take three doses of Dr. Miles’ Nervine per day, and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time. To further control the fever, and overcome the peculiar aches and pains of grip, use Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills. They act quickly and effectually, and no bad effects result from their use. These remedies have been thoroughly tested more than a million times, and their efficiency is thoroughly established. They never fail to give relief. Dr. Miles’ Remedies can be found at any drugstore, and they are sold on a positive guarantee that first bottle or package benefits or money refunded.

Law Is Too Indefinite.

The Supreme court on Tuesday reversed the lower court in an appealed case from White county, entitled Cook vs State. Cook was arrested and fined for hauling over a gravel road during a time prohibited by law —when the roads are soft. The court’s decision practically kills all prosecutions under this law. It held: 1. Acts 1889, paste 378, which makes it a misdemeanor to haul a load of more than 2,000 pounds on a narrow-tired wagon over a turnpike or gravel road, when it is in a condition to be cut np and injured by heavy hauling, is too indefinite concerning the width ol tire referred to as a narrow tire for this court to say that an affidavit charging such hauling on a wagon having tires two inches wide charged a criminal offense. 2. This court cannot say as a matter of law that a tire two inches wide is certainly either a narrow tire or a broad tire.

UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR.

lasgka at th# Expense of Certain Va> named Irish Clergymen. In a remote country village, fat from the madding crowd, German speculative theories, with which ha waa more familiar than geography* Vould have seemed about the lasi thing likely to influence his flock, but he was ever haunted by an awful fear of the havoc that might ba wrought among them by such pernicious doctrines if they were not duly warned. “My britheren,” ha said on one occasion, “there are soma German philosophers that say there is no resurrection, and, me britheren, it would be better for thim German philosophers if, like Judas Iscariot, they had never been born.” And this recalls to my mind, says a writer in the Comhill Magazine, another discourse, where the. preacher wound up with the comforting assurance that il we paid due attention to the instruction we had just received from him we would “all return to our several homes like babes refreshed with newmade wine.” It was on another occasion that the same speaker, having ascended the pulpit, gave out his text with all due solemnity as follows: “My text is taken from the thirty-sixth chaptev of Genesis and the second verse: ‘And Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan’—or, rather, I should say, the twenty-seventh chapter and the thirty-eighth verse: ‘Bless me, even me, also, oh, my father.’ ” And then, as one of his hearers aptly remarked, he proceeded to preach a sermon which h|ad nothing to say to either of them. :

Absent-mindedness and a weakness for metaphor are no doubt responsible for much. To the former I credit a discourse in which the reverend preacher alluded to “Goliath fighting on behalf of the Israelites, while King Solomon sat by moodily in his tent,” and to the latter a striking simile, which deeply impressed the feminine portion of the congregation, who were told that “the grave was the great wardrobe of the world, where we are folded up and put by, to be taken out new at the resurrection.” But both of these are eclipsed by an eloquent speaker who in the course of an exi tempore address had wandered into medieval history. “And that haythen, Soliman,” he said, “whin he was lyin’ dead upqn the ground, sat up an’ said to his friends: ‘Behold, you now see the end of Soliman.’ ” I do not deny that there may occasionally be a want of comprehension on the part of the audience. “What was the sermon about to-day, Mary?” I inquired a mistress of her domestic. | “Please, m’m,” said Mary, twisting | the corner of her apron, “I’ve forgotI ten the text, but it was about young | men.” “Oh, really,” said the lady; | “and what else was it about?” ! “Please, m’m, it was about young women, too.” “But can you tell me ; anything Mr. B— : — said?” “I ! couldn’t repeat it exactly, in’m, for | it was a mixed up kind of sermon; j but it was very interesting,” added ■ the maiden.

But any attempt to fathom thn mind of a congregation is usually fraught with danger. A priest who had delivered what seemed to him a striking sermon was anxious to ascerj tain ifk effect on his flock. “Was tha | sermon to-day to y’r likin’, Pat?” h* inquired of one of them. “Tliroth, y’r riverence, it was a grand sermon intirely,” said Pat, with such genuino admiration that his reverence felt moved to investigate further. “Was there any part of it more than another that seemed to take hold of ye?” he inquired. “Well, now, as ye are fo* 1 gxinf me, begorra, I’ll tell ye. What tuk hoult of me most was y’r riverence’s perseverance—the way ye wint over the same thing agin and agin and agin. Sich parseverance I niver did see in anny man, before nor since.” One sample more and I have finished, for I cannot do better than bring my article to an end with th# | concluding words of a sermon on grace: “And, me britheren, if ya have in y’r hearts wan spark of heavenly grace, wather it, wather it continually.”

To Cultivate Kangaroos.

A movement has been started in France which has for its purpose thn preservation, or, rather, the cultivation of the kangaroo, which has been rapidly proceeding toward extermination. Dr. Brisson, a French surgeon, says that there is likely soon t« be an exceptional demand for the animals in consequence of the success aU tending the use of kangaroo tendon in the hospitals. Kangaroo tendon, he says, is as strong as silver wire. It Is taken from the tail, and being animal in its nature is absorbed.
