I Friday, January 16. 1914.
We note that Representative Welch,
or' Richland county, offered a resoluI
tion in the house of representatives
on Wednesday to authorize the chair[
man of the house committees to rent
rooms in a nearby bank building in
I Columbia during the session. Without
regard to the merits of this particular
resolution, we would like to
say that if the State is going to con
tinue to maintain a department of agriculture,
some provision ought to be
made whereby this department would
not 'have to move its offices every time
the legislature meets.
If President Wilson gets the votes
of all his "doubles," he ought not to
have any trouble in.being re-elected.
ISLAND OF SAKUKA
COVEKED WITH LAVA
Number of Japanese Who Perished
Will Never be Known.?Big Volcano
Less Active.
Tokio, Japan, Jan. 14.?Official reports
tonight of the disaster in Southern
Japan brought out the following
general features:
Tae small isiand of Sakura is covered
with a layer of lava and ashes,
under which lie many corpses, whose
number probably will never be known.
A:.y estimate of the dead must include
a large number of refugees
drowned while trjir.g to swim to
safety. \
Kagoshima, last week a prosperous
town of 60,000 is in ruins.
The eruption of Sakura?Jima is
gradually subsiding.
The entire island of Kiushiu, an
*
area of 3,000 square miles, is covered

Prominent scientists declared the
j era?' fn had served as a vent for an
v acute subterranean activity, and probably
had saved the country from even
more disastrous eruption. At Kumamoto,
north of Kagoshima, more than
1,000 rufugees have arrived. The authorities
face the difficulty of housing
and feeding the sufferers.
Missionaries Keported Safe.
V The American missionaries stationed
at Kagoshima in the island of Kinshiu,
Japan, all of whom are reported
by the American consul at Nagasaki
to have escaped safely from the
disaster are: Miss L. Alice Finlay,
Methodist Episcopal church, (East

York; Miss Harriet M. Lansing and
Miss Jessie Xoordhoff. Reformed
Church in America, (Dutch.) headquarters

conference, headquarters Rich^

Tokio. 500 miles from the volcanic
disturbances, has been swept for the
24 past (hours by miniature cyclones,
creating the belief that the capital
was feeling some of the effects of the
eruptions. The wind died down tonight.
Animals and birds south of Satsuma
were suffering from abnormal uneasiness
for several days prior to the
disturbance at Kagoshima.
The famine in the northern part of
Japan continues to give the government
much alarm, and relief measures
on a tremendous scale will be necessary.
Rescaed 300 Persons.
Nagasaki. Japan, Jan. 14.?(Vivid descriptions
of scenes on the island of
Sakura during the eruption and tidal
wave of Monday wc;e given today by
the captain of a Japanese steamer
from Kagoshima. The captain rescued
300 persons. "It was perilous to
approach the iai d," levsaid. "because
co'umns of wnter burst up continually
from the gulf, while on the land
pillars o? fire rose into the air from
the acres^of blazing sugar cane. Peo/
pie and cattle ran pell mell toward
the beach. Steamers in the gulf lowered
row boats to pick up the hundreds
of people who were drifting
helplessly on misshapen rafts or
swimming while holding planks and
pieces of timber. All were uttering
piteous cries.
"Hundreds stood along the shore
unable to find any me:.us of escape.
Some of them waved towels and clothing
attached to bamboo poles to attract
attention. Many of the people
were only half conscious because of
their suffering.

: "muddle/* as some people call it. I
know that this opinion made some
people sick, notwithstanding the fact
that it was in the interest of the militia

WHAT SOBODY KNOWS.
Just a Few of the Maiiy Mysteries of
>*ature That Are Still Unsolved. j
j The most striking thing about a I
j really learned man is not the extent
| of his knowledge, buj: the extent of
i his admitted ignorance. The wiser1
I the iperson is the greater the number j
of things he doesn't know.
The more universally cocksure and
well informed hi seems the more
likely it is that he is a .humbug.
How little has science made inroad
9
upon that stupendous and limitless
nescience that surrounds it as the stel-1
lar universe enfolds the tiny earth.
Sir Oliver Lodge the other day, at j
the meeting of the British assocfation j
spoke of the mystery of sex deter-!
riinotinn Snite of all claims, we |
know little more *today than did the !
cave man why one child is born a 1
boy ?nd another a girl, and. why the j
world ratio keeps about the same.
Sir Oliver also expresses his wonder
that some plants bore forth male
and female flowers. He said thp same
sap. comes into the stem, but just at
_
that junction where differently sexed
flowers branched away from each other
there must be some profound
change in the sap.
"I don't know what it is, and microscopes
tell me nothing about it,'* j
he continued. "Perhaps if physiologists
could find out just what happened
in that little plant joint they would
! get some clue to the reason why some
' human being are born boys and the
others girls."
He might have pushed further his >
point of wonder. How conies it that
! the earth juice make here a white
j flower and her a red? How is a huge
; oak all folded in a little acorn?
! How can nature make the peach, j
\ full of juice and cased so closely in I
the thinnest of fuzzy skin that never
leaks?
iiow dees blood food here create
i
a hard finger nail, there a liair and
there a stony tooth?
W..;u is electricity? We .know
somewhat of how ii acts. But what:
is it? We know little more of it j
than does a savage.
What is life? What is the secret;
force that transforms in a trice a
living dog that eats his environment
into a dead dog whose environment
eats him?
What is love? Why does this woman
thrill you and that one leave
you cold or repel you?
WV.at is conscience, that world's
policeman that urges us on to what
we think right and affrights us at
what we think is wrong?
What is truth? What is personality?
What is being?
And these questions are not remote,
~ r:\stions, not such tilings
as mixiey ca.uea "lunar poiuis, dui
they touch the very nearest and dearer
* ^es^'ons of every man's life.
We are but dust motes in the sun
oysters to our little print in the bod
o!' the vast ocean of mystery.
All about us is nature, her mind a
galaxy of secrets, her thoughts far
and strange as the procession of the
suns.
Nothing benefits us, her children,
so much as reverence for her purposes,
humanity before her great
brain, trust and love \n her vast {heart.
No one is so consummate an ass as
the one who thinks he knows it all.
One Swallow Makes a Panic.
"Woman's Home Companion.
JL#ittie Alice was to speak in public
for the first time at a Sundayschool
concert. Wlien it came her j
turn she arose and walked across the
k i
platform very f bravely, but being
seized with a sudden attack of stage
frigut^ sb# could not find her voice.
Something came up in her throat,
making her gulp and swallow, but no
little poem was fortncoming.
Finally, turning a frightened face
to her teacher, she gasped, "I've swallowed
my piece.'"

Uses Pictures in Lecture to Reduce
Cost of Living.
Cincinnati Dispatch to New York
Sun.
C. H. Bolte, a local meat dealer,
has solved the problem of reducing
the cost of living. The "movies" are
the medium through woich he works.
The pictures, however, are supplemented
with talks by Mr. Bolte, who
appears at a local show house.
The butclicr stands in the foreground

quarters of beef, shoulders of mutton.

cacies tiasu upon tne audience.
In his talK Mr. Bolte lias this to
say:
"The only specimens of meat recognized
by some ncw.y made brides are
the clubhouse steaks at 30 and 40
cents a pound, tenderloin and several
other riairtv and hish uriced cuts.
"The reason the price of choice
cuts is so high is because the quantity
is limited and the demand great.
"Brisket and shoulder plug are just
about as nourishing when cooked
properly and they cost much less."
Bolte's lectures not only ii.cludj
what kind of meat the houoowlvco
should buy but a practical demonc-tfoHrvn
