One effect that may follow the volcanic eruptions now going on in the West In. dies is a season of brilliant sunsets dur | ing the coming summer. How Jong it will be before these sunsets begin to oc- | car it is impossible to say. The air cur rents move around the earth spirally | from Martinique mn this direction. Hence it may be weeks or months before the brilliant sunsets are seen. For a year | after the great Krakatou disaster these sunsets were to be seen, These magnificent displays are due to the great increase in the number of dust | particles in the air, with consequent greater deffraction of the sun's rays as | the sun nears the horizon, The sunset | co'ors ordinarily observed are generally those at the lower end of the spectrom, | the red and yellow predominating. The | same is true in the case of sunsets af- fected by volcanic dust, It is hard to | explain the exact difference, but there | should be no trouble in recognizing the | sunsets which may be expected to follow the eruptions in Martinique and St. Vin: cent, You cannot mamtain a despotism in Asia and a republic In America.

But what of those who darkly sleep Where mourners never come? Shall none their hapless fortunes weep, And shall their praise be dumb? of Until the sea shall render back The muster of her dead Your loving scrolls of fame must lack Full many a heart that bled, And still in many a hidden spot, Sy vines and grass o'ergrown, Unnoted heroes lie forgot, Their place of rest unknown, Yet grieve not that not drean Such graves with fitting art While nature has the will to bless you may And play the mourner's part, She gave them life and courage high, And since they bravely bled She lets no wandering wind go by But mourns the hero dead. The solemn dirges of the deep Have lulled her sons to rest. She soothed them to untroubled sleep Upon her loving breast. And even the humblest blows Where sleep the true and brave Can peer the lily or the rosé On any honored grave.
