Her advertisements in the Massachusetts papers that she would receive money and stores for the wounded soldiers and personally dis- tribute them at the front brought quick responses, and from thissmall beginning the scope of her work broadened.

The houses trembled with the subterranean vio lence, and the windows rattled as heavy artillery were being discharged in the streets, and still efforts seemed to only rehearsing for the supreme display. On the morning of Monday, August 27. 1583, the rehears- als were over and the performance be gan. An overture, consisting of two or three introductory explosions was succeeded by a frightful convulsion which tore away a large part of the Island of Krakatoa and scattered it to the winds of heaven This supreme effort it was which produced the mightiest noise that, so far as we can ascertain, has ever been heard on this globe, It must have been indeed a loud noise which could travel from Krakatos to Batavia and pre serve Its vehemence over so great a distance; but we should form a very inadequate conception of the energy of the eruption of Krakatoa if we thought that its sounds were heard by those merely a hundred miles off. This would be little Indeed compared with what Is recorded, on testimony which it Is Impossible to doubt, Westward from Krakatoa stretches the wide expanse of the Indian Ocean. On the opposite side from the Straits of Sunda lies the Island of Rodriguez, the distance from Krakatoa being al- most 3.000 miles, It has been proved by evidence which cannot be doubted that the thunder of the great voleano attracted the attention of an intelll- gent coastguard on Rodriguez, who carefully noted the character of the int these be sounds and the time of thelr occur | beria. | have been beyond its range, | Senger | Atlantic in-| sur- | Sumatra and Java | rence, He had heard them just four) ours after the actual explosion, for | this ie the time the sound occupied on its journey, If Vesuvius were vigorous enough to emit a roar like Krakatoa, how great would be the consternation of the world!

The decision of the convention, which recently met at Muskogee, ln- dian Territory, upon a uname for the new state to be added to the Union brings a total of thirty-three states which have adopted Indian titles for state names. The convention, after some little discussion, decided that quols, as a tribute to the great Cherokee lender, and is a fAtting honor which America owes to one of the really great red men of this contd. pent. The Cherokee Indian alphabet was originated by George Gist, a half- breed, known to the tribe as Sequoia He was a statesman and a peaceable leader among the tribe. He was an filiterate man but the idea of an alpLabet for the Cherokee tribe was conceived from the brands he saw on cattle. He carved eighty-six charac ters with bis hunting knife out of pine park, then he called the wise men to- gether, and explained the characters. The tribunal council adopted that, and in later years one of the tribe trans lated the Bible into the Cherokee language, through which medium Christianity was first taught smong the Cheroke ! to Sequoia that the Cherokee nation owes its splendid | eystem of schools.
