"A nearer neighbor of Augustine than Bogoslof. however, Is Mount Katmai. on the Alaska peninsula, >hose explosion in 1912 was one of the most tremendous in history. Instead of sinking, it 'blew its head off.' Two cubic miles of mountain top were blown away. Some of the debris was scattered over hundreds of square miles of nearby land and sea; but a large portion disappeared, being blown to dust and ash which was hurled into the upper air and then whisked away by winds even.to the far side of the earth. "Though the Inhabitants of the United States were, unaware of the great explosion of Mount Katmai, they felt its effects, pne of which was the cold, damp summer of 1912, caused by the Interception . of sunlight by Hust from the eruption. Even the clear, cloudless sky of the Sahara desert region was overcast. "Fortunately Katmai was remote from congested population centers. If the explosion had occurred in New York city, the sulphurous fumes would have polluted the air as far west as the Rockies and the noise would have' reverberated like an artillery duel across the central states. "An area around Mount Katmai, half again larger than Delaware, was covered with a foot or more of ashenough to destroy all but the most hardy plants.

But had they been told awO.'HX) years ago, there might have been some truth to the tales. Of course, there were no human beings on earth 6,000,000 years ago to tell them, science says. There were "serpents" then, however, according to the record the rocks have kept of their bones in North America and in South America, in Europe and in New Zealand. They looked like snakes and the stories Columbus heard were pretty wide of the mark, for the longest of them were not over 45 feet. But even this is a considerable length for a snake to attain. Their bones show that their backs were Jointed at over 100 places, as the backs of modern snakes are, and their jaws were made so that they co,u!d be dislocated for' the convenience of taking extra large mouthfuls. Their teeth were the vicious trap-like kind Of teeth that curve backward to prevent theif victim's escape. The modern relatives of these ancient monsters still live and rear their 'young in the sea. We call them seasnakes. They live in tropical seas and only one of several kinds of sea-snakes can crawl on land. The rest have lost the scales on-their stomachs, by which they once wiggled on dry earth. They are powerful fighters and their poisonous fangs are dreaded by human beings as well as by their neighbors in the wean.--Washington Star. JOHNSBURQ Summer and Line Squall Types of Thunderstorms Thunderstorms are of two main types. One is the common, local summer afternoon kind. The other is called a "line squall" and extends across the front of a moving mass of air, often for. 100 or 200 miles, says the Boston Herald. It is the movement of these air masses across the country which brings us our change of temperature and weather. Some come from -Canada, some from the Gulf of Mexico, some from the Pacific. They differ greatly. Some are cold, some are warm, some contain little moisture, others a great deal. At the boundaries or "fronts" of these air masses, where each mass mixes with a dissimilar mass, occur regions of rapidly varying temperatures, changing winds and bad weather, sometimes taking the form of thunderstorms. Both types of thunderstorm are invariably characterized by rising air currents of great velocities, particularly at higher altitudes. Down currents are of much lower velocities and seem to exist principally at lower levels to regions of great turbulence* . Can Be President ' A man born in the Hawaiian islands Ot Aiawfca can become President of the United States. The section of the Constitution referring to eligibility for the Presidency reads as follows: "No persons except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President Neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty- Ave years and been 14 years a resident within the United States." The last clause with reference to residence within the United States would be Interpreted to read "fourteen years a resident within the Jurisdiction of the United States." -- CtevelttMl Plain Dealer. - * Mr, and Mrs. Math Lay of Spring Grove visited in the home of Mrs. Stephen Schmitt Sunday.

BALANCED VALU| EVERYBODY U TALKING PONTUC THIS year. Why? We should Tike to tell you:: what we believe are some of the reasons. ' Different people like it for different qualities. The artist, for example, stresses Its appearance. The business man is impressed by its durability and economy. "*1' Others especially like its roomy comfort apd its safety. A boy or a girl is thrilled by nothing so much as its performance. Yet none of these people would be satisfied with a car that had only the one feature they talk about. Even the man who talks most about his car's pick-up and speed, also wants durability, comfort, safety, appearance and economy.
