mus“, ’~. ‘iins ofFlre “Within a Kind- 'n III-limited )liles. arrl of the stately Mount St. southern Alaska, which rmvm‘s not above the sea level. because Ofl .mg the highest mountain in America, this mountain with its smoking crater, thouin probably the. grandest. is nor thr- ' most interesting one of the north by uin , means. The vblcuiioes Uinnuk, IIwgosloh', i l’rogri-ninia, Akutan, Sliishaldin, and I‘nvv led. all located in theAleutian Islands, 1,5!)1') miles from Sitka, are probably the most iii- teresling mountains in the world. All six xvoloanoes are in active operation, and are loaated within a radius of Int) miles oonna- laska. From the Pacific Ocean all the moun- tains, with the exception of I’avlofl, which ; is hidden from view behind another mount, can be seen at once, with the smoke and steam rolling upward from their craters. More is not told the world of these splendid mountains because they are seldom visited. Tourists do not go within 1,300 miles of them, for there is no regularly established, line of steamers running further north than Sitka. The far-off land favored with the presence of these smoking mounts, which should prove the life study of in. geological student, is visited only by an oceaSional whaler or a revenue cutter. A The revenue cutter Bear, which returned from the Aleutian Islands last week, and .which is now on her return north, brought down a great deal of information concerning the volcanoes. Lieut. D. H. Jarvis of the Bear, who has taken especial notice of the six volcanoes in this group of islands, has made several cruises north, having been in both the Bear andRush, Governmenteuttcrs, and upon each cruise he embraced every op- portunity to learn more of them. Several of them he has visited; he has climbed to their summit and acquainted himself with their peculiarities. He spent much time examining Bogosloff, which he soon found to be the most interest- ing mountain of the group. Speaking of Alaska. and volcanoes, the Lieutenant says : “ From the mainland to Attu, a distance of 1,000 miles, are hundreds of islands. The map will show that they are chained along, Attu being the westward island of the group that composes the Alaska peninsula. The islands are all of volcanic origin, Oona- laska, or Oonalaska Island, is east to the centre of the group by several hundred miles, and is in the centre of the Alon. Lian Islands. Oonalaska Island, which is about eighty miles long, is the largest. The other islands,of which there are numbers vary in size from this down to a mere reef or rock projecting out of the sea.” The Lieutenant found Bogosloff an espe- cially fascinating study. One hundred years ago Bogoslofl" did not exist. The is and on ‘ which the volcano is situated lay at the bot- \tom of the sea. Just about 100 years ago ~phere were continuous jarrings in the Aleutian group, and the several volcanoes smoked and belched forth lava, showing that an internal war was in progress in the bowels of the earth. One morning, during a heavy disturbance, the natives of Don- alaska. saw an immense object rise up out of the sea, about sixty miles to the northward. Great volumes of smoke and showers of a lies and running lava came out of the object. After many days the disturbance subsided, and the natives could see that a new island had come to join the group and they called the new arrival Bogosloff. The island was about half a mile long, and was 350 feet high. The island in reality was nothing but the volcano, for from the water line it tower- ed from all sides up to the summit. A peculiar feature of the mount was that it had no well-defined crater. From many \ fissures which cut across the sides of the \mountain and around the top huge volumes of smoke came, but at the top there was no liole. Still notwithstanding this deformity, Bogosloff was very lively. and made more fuss than all the rest of the larger vol- canoes About eight years ago, during a violent eruption. another island came up out of the sea. and joining Bogcsloff became one island. During the summer of 1889, while in the Government service, Licut. Jarvis visited Bogosloff for the first time. He walked all over the mountain whose entire sides were rent with huge fisssures out of which came hot, stifling smoke, odoroiis with sulphur. So much smoke came out of the fissures that it was simply impossible to go close to them much less look down into them. There was no crater or iisures directly at the summit, as \va; found by examination. Again, last summer, the Lieutenant went to Alaska, this time in the revenue cutter Rush. When thecuttermadelaiidingat ()onalaska the mat ives told the officers of the steamer ihal a Sewmonths before there were erup- lions among the volcanoes and that Bogos- loll was especialy angry; that the island gave cutgrcat showers ofhot asbesand steam and black smoke. The Rush made the run of sixty miles to the island, and Ion» before she hove to tho-so on board could e that the whole top of the volcmo had I.IIIL‘II in, forming an immense crater, from out of which the smoke not only rolled, but puffed ii {9 the exhaust of an enormous engine, 'I‘Iy so who Went on shore did not d rr, go no I, - the summit h curse of the intt-nw- heat. ‘11 1"“ top the bright m“ the mhuntaiu \v.-.s r..-d".f: ~d full lit! feet, leaving L‘ivo feet above the sea level. ' =.r days are almost unknown in this .: ivi of ice and volcanoes. When it is not, l‘.ll'!‘ill',1‘ in summer it is foggy. and when it is not snowing in winter t 0. wind is fierce and ‘ ling.

'l'hc wind lies down, the sky is (r... a.“ clouds, :ll‘II the dccp blue azure of space looks down upon the trembling ocean witha. cold, uniecling gaze. At this time of the year the country is covered with ice ' ind snow, the land being distinguishable from the sea because of its whiteness. The scenery from the deck of a cutter or whaler on such a. day is enchanting, and the view' remains indelible upon the memory. During the latter part of April last, while the Bear was en route from the I‘ribylov Islands to Ooualaska, such a day as described was en- joyed. Morning broke while the Bear was forty miles from Bogoslofl‘, and Umnak, Makushiu, Progamnia, Akutan, and Shis- huldiu came out in bold itiici to the south- west. All were in active in '1‘;iti0n, and B-Jngoslofi', not content with me ily smoking 1. . the rest of the mounts, was pulling «igely. : GLinpk, which is 8,000 feet high, lies the furthest to the westward ofthc group, and i I’avloll', also S.0|J() feet high, lies tin-1 furthest to tho eastward. llctwecn tlu-se vu'n an: mnoml in order. from west to [titula- leling iii . the other four iiioiiiits~ll0gosloffi Makushin, Programnia, Akutan, and Shi-dialrliii.

NUMBER OF BABIES BORN ANNU- ALLY. .l Procession Hamlin: Six Years. It has been computed that between 36,- 000,010 and 37,000,000 babies are born into the world each year. The rate of produc- tion is, therefore, about seventy per minute, or more than one for every beat of the clock. 1v'ith one one-a-minutc caculation every reader is familiar, but it is not every one who stops to calculate what this means when it comes toa year‘s supply. It will, thereâ€" fore, probably star tie a good many persons to find on the authority of a well-known statistician that, could the infants of aye-ar be ranged in a line in cradles, the cradles would extend around the globe. The same writer looks at the matter in a still more picturesque light. He imagines the babies being carried past a given point in their inothei's'arms, one by one, and the proces- sion being kept up night and (hr,- until the last hour in the twelfth month had passed' by. A sufficiently liberal rate 13 aIIchd, but even in going past at the rate of Iueuty a. minute, 1200.111 hour during the entire year. the reviewer at his post would only have seen the sixth part of this infantile host. In other words, the babes that had to be. carried when the tramp began would be able to walk when but a. more fraction of its comradeshad reached the reviewers post , and when the year‘s supply of bahirs was drawing to a close there would be a rear- guard, not of infants, but of romping six- year-old boys and girls.

It consists of a large sacrificial bowl of solid silver, evidently of Gallic origin, after Roman art had influ- enced the manufactures of the province. The measurements are ‘16 inches in diameter, 16 inches high, and it weighs ‘20 kilogrammes. Inside and outside the bowl is covered with silver plates ornamented with mythological figures in high relief, representing gods, warriors, women, wolves, lions, elephants, stags, oxen, griflins, serpents. The warriors‘ helmets are decortcd with horns and the images of boars and birds. The bottom of the bowl is a round silver plate, ornamented. with the figure of a bull in high relief. l’ut's Great Wonder.
