' LAKES OF FIRE.
Extinction of the Greatest Vol
cano in the World.
A Description of the Fiery Beds Which
Make up the Grater of Killanei
Recent advices from the Sandwich Is
lands to the effect that there was no
more fire in the crater of Killanea, if trim,
means that the largest active volcano of
the planet had been snuffed out. The
new lake of molten lava of Halcmaumau,
which is mentioned as having disappeared,
has not been in existence many years,
and the period of volcanic activity and
earthquakes, which accompanied its for
mation, immediately preceded the last
great eruption from the neighboring
crater on the summit of Mauna Loa in
November of 1880.
The island of Hawaii, which is the
southmost of the Hawaiian or Sandwich
group, is in the form of two great twin
peaks, Mauna Loa and Manur Kea,
each of which rises to an elevation
of nearly 14,000 feet. On the summit
of Mauna Loa is a crater which is in
termittently active. On the slope of
Mauna Loa is the crater of Kilauea (Lake
of Fire). Kilauea is unique among the
volcanoes of the world. It is situated in
a great pit in the side of Mauna Loa,
1.200 feet deep and three miles in diame
ter, the walls of which are almost perpen
dicular, so that they can only be de
scended where zigzag pathways have
been made. The lakes of fire which
makeup the volcano of Kilauea are iu the
southern end of tli • pit. There is at all
times more or less volcanic activity in
these pits, and they are constantly chang
ing in form and position. In the ordinary
.condition of the volcano people can de
scend the sides of the great jilt and walk
over the floor to the lakes. The floor is
black as coal and so hot that it scorches
shoe leather. There are great seams in it
at intervals, from which issue steam and
sulphurous smoke.
Ihe shores of the lakes themselves are
high and steep. One can go close to the
edge on the windward side, and by hold
ing a hat in front ol the face or wearing
a mask, peep over at the infernal bub
bling which is going on in the abyss.
Ihe surface of the lakes, when quiet, is
covered with a thin layer of black, newly
hardened lava. The surface is never
quiet long nor over its whole extent. A
pulsating mound m ikes its appearance at
some point and swells by slow degrees,
until cracks appear running from the
apex. The fiery molten lava appears
welling up through these cracks; the lay
er over the surface breaks into great
cakes, and tilting on edge, these cakes
disappear and are swallowed up by the
red liquid underneath, which boils and
bubbles and sputters in the vent it has
found, throwing up spray which is caught
by the wind and spun out as flue as silk.
In this condition it is found in crevices of
the lava on the banks, looking much like
bunches of blond hair. The native Ha
waiian* term this stuff Pele’s hair, Pele
being the goddess supposed to inhabit
this Ilalc-mau-mau (House of Everlasting
Fire). Natives who visit the spot throw
coins or edibles into the lake to appease
the wrath of the goddess. The high
banks of the lakes are swallowed up in
‘he seething cauldron below. In periods
of great activity the surface of the lakes
rises and sometimes overflows the banks,
when a long stream of lava creeps over
the floor of the great pit, disposing itself
in smooth folds like giant taffy.
Kilauea is 4,000 feet above the sea lev
el, and is about twenty miles from the
crater on the summit of Mauna Loa which
is over 0,000 feet higher. Yet there
seems to be some connection between the
summit crater and the vent in the side of
the mountain. During the summer
months of 1880 there was great activity

,n Kilauea and several severe earthquakes
on the Island of Hawaii. The new fire
lake of Ilalemaumau, which the report
says has disappeared, made its appear
ance during this period. One night in
November of that year an eruption broke
out on the summit of Mauna Loa
with a loud explosion, and the streams of
lava came pouring down the mountain
side in floods. The country through
which it came was wild, an impenetrable
tropical forest. In the first nights after
the eruption broke out, the stream could
he seen from far out at sea, looking
like a fiery serpent lying on thfmountain
1 h . As tne months went on, the upper
part of the stream cooled on the surface
and crusted over, serving as a conduct to
the liquid to the terminus of the
flow, where it broke out and pushed its
%yay more slowly. The flow of lava con
tinued into the summer of 1881, when it
stopped about a quarter of a mile from
the little tropical town of Ililo, having
eaten its way sixty miles through the
forest, which was utterly swallowed up
in its path. No such flow of lava had
come from Mauna Loa since the great
flow of 18.30, which reached the sea—

How “Rum 11108*0111*” Come.
A correspondent of the American An
cilist ask: “What is the cause of red
ness and pimples on the nose?” and re
ceives the following answer: “Judging
liom the liquor saloon heading of your
note and the non deplume you have chosen,
it is fair to presume that in your case ram
is the cause, and medical men would call
your disease dipsomania and the skin dis
ease acne, while in common parlance it is
called ‘rum blossoms.’ The explanation
is very simple. The circulation is through
two sets of blood vessels, arteries aud
veins, both obtaining their motive power
from the heart acting as a force-pump.
Alcohol increases the pulsations, and as
the blood is sent from the heart to the
extremities faster than the veins can take
it up again to return it, congestion re
sults, and the nose, being at a remote
portion of the circulation, reddens and
finally becomes diseased. This, however,
is not different from other organs of the
body; all arc congested and similarly dis
eased by alcohol. The best remedy is to
discontinue the alcohol, and stimulate
the absorption of the blood by the fre
quent application of cloths wrung out of
hot water.”
Saved From the Branding.
“One of the few r patents that make
big money,” said an attorney, “is a sim
ple thing called an ear-mark for live
stoek. It consists of two' tubes, one of
zinc aud the other of brass, the brass
tube made the smaller and fitting into
the other with a little spring projection
to hold it in place. When this is stuck
through a critter’s ear only the zinc is in
contact with the flesh, and that
zinc has well-know healing prop
erties, is shown in the use of
zinc collar pads for horses. The
end of each tube is a disc about the size
of a nicKcl, and on the brass disc are in
itials and numbers. A Chicago firm is
doing a big business in these marks. A
stockraiscr can have his own private
mark; same as branding, and, if he de
sires, have all of his cattle numbered
consecutively. They cost $5 a thousand,
and are much used in the West. They
arc used for cattle, horses, hogs aud
sheep. ” Ch icago Herald.

ONE BLIND MAN
ItEMAKK ABLE CAREER OF A
SIGHTLESS OHIO RESIDENT.
Losing His Sight in Roy hood—Study

Elected Mayor of Youngstown
—Visiting Distant Cities.
A Youngstown (Ohio; letter to the New
Nork World says: Ex-Mayor Campbell
’ is a blind man of whose achievements
, people are justly proud. Walter Lowrie
Campbell is as remarkable a personage as
was the late Postmaster-General Fawcett,
iof England. He has gained eminence as
a lawyer, professor of music, municipal
reformer, politician, classical scholar
and journalist. All this though he was
entirely deprived of sight at the age of
four years. Mr. Campbell was born at
Salem, Ohio, on November ?, 1842, of j
jSc jtch-Iri h parents. His father, who
was a dissenting preacher, died in 1842.
Ilis mother is still living, at the advanced
i age of eighty years, with her blind son
in this city. The accident which made
| Mr. Campbell blind occurred one sun- j
I shiny day in May, 1847. daring school rc- j
| oess. The f.olcsome youngsters were !
throwing lime at each other. A piece j
containing some hard substance struck j
Walter in the left eye and cut a deep
gash. He suffered intensely for several
months, inflammation set in, spread to
the other eye and he became totally j
blind. AYhen nine years old the youth
was sent to the Institution for the Blind
at Columbus, where he devoted much
time to music, and in a short time be- j
came an expert pianist and organist. He
played a pipe organ when thirteen years j
of age, and at the present time presides
at the splendid pipe organ in the First
Presbyterian church of this city.
For the purpose of completing his mu- j
s'cal education he went from Columbus I
to the Institution for the Blind at Phila- i
j delphia. When he returned from the
j Quaker City he taught music in his native j
| town of Salem and studied in the high !
| school to fit himself for college. He en- i
j tered the Western Reserv e College,then at |
llud-on, Ohio, now at Cleveland, in 18ti:>, j
| and took a classical course, including '
math^imitics.
In 18o? he was graduated, second in
his class, and delivered the salutatory iu
j Latin. In his Freshman year he took the
! prize for written Latin translations; in
| his Sophomore year the prize for English
j prose composition; at the Junior exhibi
tion he delivered a philosophical oration.
. After graduating he studied law in the
o Lee of J. A. Ambler, at Salem, and in
j 1808 he was admitted to the Harvard
j Law School, where he remained until the
following June. In studying the classics,
for instance, the blind student committed
Latin and Greek at the rate of one or two
pages a day, when a classmate read to
him. In reciting his professor would
read a sentence and Campbell would
translate and construe it.
About the time he left Harvard his
brother, General J. A. Campbell, was
appointed as the first Governor of Wyo
ming Territory. Walter went to Chey
enne to practise law and assist in organ
izing the Territory in 1869. Shortly
after he was appointed United States
Commissioner of Wyoming. Later on,
both branches of the Legislative sent
written memorials to Governor Campbell
ask ng him to appoint his blind brother
Territorial Treasurer. General Campbell
declined, partly because of a desire to
avoid the appearance of nepotism, and
partly on account of a desire to be loyal
to a nomination previously made.
In 1871 Walter L. Campbell came to
Youngstown, where his sister, Mrs. Mc-
Millin, was already, with the intention of
resuming the practice of law. The county
seat of Mahoning was then at Canfield,
and this caused Youngstown lawyers
much inconvenience. For this reason
the practice was not entered upon.
Campbell took an active part in the po
litical campaign of 1872. Possessing
journalistic talent, Mr. Campbell pur
chased an interest in May, 1874, in the
Mahoning Weekly Register, and acted as
its editor, local reporter and general util
ity man until December of that year,
when he issued the Evening Register, a
daily paper, and the first printed in this
city at two cents. It was consolidated
in the following February with the rival
morning paper, the Tribune. He acted
as managing editor of these papers until
1882, wnen he was consolidated out of
them by the union of the Heirs and Reg
ister, under the name of the News-Regis
ter. During his editorial career the blind
journalbt wrote most of his own mat
ter by means of a grooved board
to keep the lines straight. At other
times his wife anted as his amanuensis,
and also read the daily papers to him.
In 1875 he beg in using the typewriter
and soon attained great expertness and
acuracy in operating it. Mr. Campbell
was married in October, 1877, to Miss
Helen C. Lagourgue, of this city, but
formerly of Cleveland. Two beautiful
children have blessed their union and
are a great joy to the father, though he
keenly feels the deprivation of looking
upon them.
Intellectual and influential people
were soon attracted to Mr. Campbell’s
side, and in April, 1884, he was elected
Mayor of Youngstown after the most ex
citing local contest ever held, the vote
being larger than ever previously cast
at any elution, municipal, State or na
tional
Mr. Campbell began his official career
with the resolution that Youngstown
should b? no longer a village but a city;
that the ordinances must be
strictly enforced or gcod order
could not be j reserved. His
methods bore good results and the
morals of the city improved surprisingly;
there were few street brawls or other
disturbances and little or no business
for the police court during the last year
of his administration. While Campbell
was Mayor the city debt was also reduced
SBO,OOO in two year'. A few months
ago he was rencm’nated, but his op
ponent was returned by a majority of
twenty one votes.
Ex-Mayor Campbell lives in a comfort
able house, furnished with excellent
taste and surreundtd by pretty grounds,
on F.lm street. He never failed to visit
the Mayor's office, one mile from Iris
home, eve-y day during his term as
M.iv.r. walking both ways entirely ui a
sided. He knows almost every st e.t
and lane in the c ty and goes everywhere
alone, rarely encountering an obstruc
tion. During the past twenty vears he
his visited all of the principal cities of
the country. Though traveling alone he
never met with an'accident. With the
sole assistance of his cane he has trav
ersed the streets of New York, Philadel
phia. Washington. Pittsburgh. Cleve
land, Cincinnati. Columbus, Chicago,
Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, and San
Francisco, Cal. Mr. Campbell never for
gets the sound of a man's voice or his
name. A few days ago a gentleman from
Canfield, whom he had not seen for
twenty years, grasped his hand and spoke
to him. Mr. Campbell, by the sound of
his voice, at once recalled his name and
when and where they had met last. His
manner is gentle and his voice tinee!
, with melancholy. He has the respe tof

Corpulence.
-v correspondent, who, without any
known organic or functional trouble, is
greatly incommodtd by superfluous fat
—he wrongl- calls it jfesh —requests an
article on the subject
The condition is known as corpulence,
! or obesity. It consists in a tendency to
! the formation and deposit of fat. A cer
tain amount of this deposit is normal. It
is an element of beauty, rounding out the
form. It lessens the effect of sudden
changes of temperature. It is a reserve
of nutriment, to be drawn upon in emer
gencies, thus saving the muscles and
other tissues.
Somj persons inherit a tendency to it.
Some race-; arc more liable to it than
others. Women are more so than men.
Both sexes are more inclined to it af;er
the age of forty. There are individual
cases of extreme obesity. A boy at the
age of three weighed one hundred and
twenty-four pounds; a girl, one h mired
and eighty-two, at twelve. A woman,
who was thin and delicate at eighteen,
died at forty-one with some eight inches
of fat around her body. Tec famous
Daniel Lambert’s maximum weight was
seven hundred and thirty nine pounds.
Much the largest part of the body in these
persons was pure fat.
In all cases of obesity, there is a de
ficiency of oxygen in the blood, either
absolutely, or relatively to the amount of
food. Excess of food tends to produce
it, and yet some are corpulent on a spare
diet. Lack of exercise favors it, by less
ening the oxidation of the tissues. It is
also produced by disea-es which diminish
the number of the red blood corpuscles.
It is the latter that absorb oxygen from
the inspired air and convey it to the tis
sues.
According to Quain, very corpulent
people have large hearts and small lungs.
This may help to explain the deficiency
of oxygen. It has also quite recently
been proved that women have fewer, by
many millions, of red blood corpuscles
than men. This, too, maybe one reason
for their gr ater tendency to corpulence.
As the muscles become infiltrated with
fat, they arc weakened. Hence corpu
lent persons arc apt to be indisposed to
active exercise. For the same reason, the
heart is rendered fee’’h and is easily dis
turbed. The deficiency of oxygen tends
to the formation of uric acid, and hence
to the production of gout. The very
corpulent are specially liable to various
forms of congestion, and acute diseases
are apt to have an unfavorable course.
In treating the corpulent, regard must
be had to the fact that the heart is
weak. The main reliance for reducing
the obesity is on diet and exercise. The
latter increases the power of the blood to
take up oxygen. The more oxygen one
can receive, the better, if kept well
within tlie person's strength and the ca
pacity of a weakened heart. The diet
should contain but little fatty or starchy
food, and much animal food-lean
meats, fish, but not the richer kinds,
also fresh fruits, vegetables, and bread
with only a moderate allowance of but
ter. Alkaline water is believed to bo
helpful.— Youth's Companion.
No Cyclones in Florida.
There has been but one approach to a
cyclone in the State of Florida within
the memory of man, and that was prob
ably a dip of the tail of a West India
hurricane which had spent its force out
on the blue Atlantic. It is notorious to
scientific men that Florida lies outside
of the cyclone belt--, which run from
northeast to southwest on either side of
the range of mountains known variously
as the Alleghenies, Blue Ridge, etc., and
along tlie base of the Rocky Mountains
from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico.
The cyclone, which is “a rotary storm
or whirlwind of extended circuit,”
sweeps with its irresistible gyratory mo
tion in a given direction. it derives its
great power from its whirling capacity,
which applies the full force of the wind
to all sides of the object at once. The
storm forms in the air, and when it takes
to flight rises and falls in its onward
progress like a wave or a bounding ball,
The hurricane is “a violent storm char
acterized by the extreme fury of the
wind and its sudd n changes.” It blows
straight ahead until some cause in nature
changes its course to the right or left ob
lique, or at right angles, or it may re
turn over its track, but it generally blows
in one direction. It is general!}' also ac
companied by violent thunder and light
ning. Minor wind storms partake more
or less of the character of the cyclone
and the hurricane; but they may be
strong enough to fell trees and blow
down 100-ely c instruct'd buildings, and
yet not have the distinctive eharacter
i-tics of either the one or the other.
It is one of the recommendations of
Florida that it lies in a region of the
world which, from it - geographical situa
tion, exempts it from violent storms of
any kind, whether arising in the mount
ains and valleys of the Northwe-t or in
the torrid equatorial regions. This sit
uation gives it its equable climate and
makes it impervious to the extreme action
of the elements in any form.
To characterize the little wind clips
and gales which occasionally blow down
a shanty or upset a weak tree as cyclones
is a ridiculous misnomer, which creates
a wrong impression on the public mind
and creates injurious irnpres ions else
where. There are no cyclones in Florida.

Ocean Pilots.
The pilotage systems of the different
countries of the world have been at vari
ous times subjects of discussion, and
comparisons are interesting to nautical
men. Probably the most dangerous
coasts are those of the kingdoms of Nor
way, Denmark and Great Britain. The
pilots of Norway and the Black Sea lead
lives which are replete with danger. In
their little lugger- they shoot al ngsidea
vessel and in many i ases simply grasp a
line and climb hand over hand up to the
yardarm. In a gale at and heavy s-a their
work of boarding a ship as accomplished
requires agility and is not unattended
with danger. Their pay, too. is very
slight in proportion to their duties. Fre
quently a junk of "salt horse" or a bag
e: pilot bread is thrown aboard ;>s an
extra recompense. The Fngd-h pilots,
and channel pilots also 1 ad a life of
great dang r in th ir vv-tch and ca:e of
the great fl< ets that are constantly p us
ing to and fr. m the ports of the United
Kingdom. In nearly every European
port and in our own country the system
of compulsory pilotage has been adopted,
not only as insuring a better reward for
faithful service, but also as a safeguard
for the shipping interests. In the United
States the ports of New York and Poston
have probably the most difficult and haz
ardous service. In the winter time, espe
cially during the severe gales and accom
paniments of ice and snow, the life of a
pilot cannot be a happy one. In San
Francisco, althrugh the climate is mild,
yet the service is not devoid of danger,
and it requires the ben of skill at times
to prevent disa-ter.— San Francisco Call.
Recede.te Dres'es.
Discussion is life anent the subject of
low-cut dresses. It is the all-engrossim”
subject of the hour.
In regard to their propriety, everybody
has an opinion, and some are publicly
expressing themselves, pro aud con. A
great deal of nonsense mixed with a lit
tle wholesome sense, will probably be ex
pended on the question, all to very little
purpose. The fashion is in, and will un
doubtedly stay for several years, or until
its patrons tire of it.
Washington society adopted the cos
tume last season. Miss Cleveland acting
.s a leader of the fashion. The reason
was patent—she was not a very pretty
woman, but she had good arms and
'boulders.
The new mistress of the white house is
iollowing suit. Her wedding dress was
high in the neck when worn at the im
portant ceremony. When she appeared
in it at her first reception, it had been in
the hands of the modiste and was cut
away the regulation depth.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has pro
vided her article on the subject for the
public’s discussion. She places the
weight of her influence on the other side,
and pronounces against the exposure,
Mrs. Verdant attended a swell dinner
the other evening with her husband.
They were late, and immediately upon
their arrival the company was seated at
the table. Glancing down the long rows
of guests Mrs. V. was horrified to observe
that, apparently, she was the only lady
present with a dress on.
In consternation she turned to her hus
band and said: “This is disgusting! I
never saw such brazen creatures in all my
born days.”
“Tut, tut! my dear,” said he, “don’t
show your feelings. It's the fashion; you
must bear with them.”
“Bear with them! I should like to
see myself!” she scornfully replied, and
subsided into significant silence.
“Well, 1 shouldn’t,” whispered a gen
tleman, who unavoidably overheard tlie
dialogue, as he glanced at her up
right, thin shoulders.
A disciple of Mr. Ingersoll says it is a
custom especially adapted to orthodox
believers’ needs. They should accustom
themselves to it, as it is peculiarly suit
able to warm climates, such as they per
sist in believing exist, but in which he
has no faith.
A mutual friend requested permission
of Mrs. Blueblood to introduce to her
daughter a successful! Chicago dealer in
dressed beef. In reply Mrs. Blueblood
said: “Oh, really, I can t allow her to
meet him—a pork-packer ” Mr. P. P.,
when so informed, said, looking hard at
the daughter’s bare arms and shouders,
“So she objects to my business.” “All,
at least I am modest enough to dress the
goods I have for sale.”
Two gentlemen were admiring a draw
ing room full of pretty ladies in full
dress. One said to the other, “Mrs.
Whitcomb seems to care very much for
dress.” The other replied, “I cannot say
whether she cares much for dress or not,
but it is evident she does not care for
much dress.”
These are a few of the chestnuts that
are floating around, originating in the in
tense excitement aroused by the introduc
tion of the fashion.
Indeed the decollete dress promises to
be as good a target for slow w its and
society’s critics as ever the “Dolly Varden”
or the “Grecian Bend” were in their day.
A Princely Claim.
The claim of Myra Clarke Gaines to the
heirship of Daniel Clarke, the Irish mil
lionaire merchant, land speculator and
politician of New Orleans of eighty years
ago, has been a veritable romance of liti
gation. Nearly thirty years ago the Su
preme Court of the United States decided
favorably to her claim, but this bore no
ready fruit. May 3, 1883, Judge Billings
in the United States Circuit Court of
Louisana decided the case of Mrs. Gaines
against the City of New' Orleans in favor
of the plaintiff, the suit having been
pending for many years. The case had
previously been referred to a master in
chancery, who, March 16, reported to
the court that the city was indebted to
Mrs. Gaines for rent and property that it
had wrongfully disposed of in 1837, in
the sum of $824,660, with interest
amounting to $770,401, making a total of
$1,604,062. Council for the citv filed
exceptions to this report, and .Judge Bill
ings decision was the result. It confirmed
the report of the master in chancery, but
he added certain interest to the amount
mentioned, bringing the amount of the
judgment against the city up to $1,925,-
667. Judge Billings held that the de
fendants had kept the plaintiff out of the
enjoyment of her property for forty
years, and the loss to the latter was rep
resented by the judgment given. This
judgment the city refused to pay, alleg
ing nulla bona, whereupon Mrs. Gaines
applied to the court for a mandamus com
pelling the city to levy and collect a tax
to pay it. After long arguments on both
•'rides the case was submitted, and June 18
1883. .Judge Billings rendered his decis
ion, requiring the city to levy and
collect the amount of judgment and
interest less $40,000 already seques
tered. Juno 27 Judge Billings permitted
the city to bond the mandamus on giving
a $50,000 bond pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court. October 16 the record
in Hu* case was forwarded to Washington.
Thirty-two copyists had been at wmrk for
throe months preparing the manuscripts.
It was bound in one volume containing
9.403 pages and weighing 192 pound,
Bine; then the court has rendered several
judgments against Mrs. Gaines and or
dered execution against her property.
May 22 last a motion to mandamus the
city to fund the judgment was argued be
fore Judge W. B. Woods of the United
state- Supreme court, sitting in the Cir
cuit Court, and he refused on the ground
Emit the judgment was not yet final, be
ing still .m appeal to the court of last
resort. When Mrs. Gaines; died, January
9. 7885. she wa- in straightened circum
stances. and admitted tint the judgment
she had obtained at cost of so much effort
had in the main passed into the hands of
lawyers, speculator- and money-lenders
