TRAVELING BY STAGE COACH In 1860 a Journey Between San An. tonio, Texas, and San Diego, Calif, Was an Event. A poster advertising overland stage travel hetween San Autonlo, Tex., and San Diego, Calif., in 1860, has been found, which makes interesting read- ing these days of fast and palatial rail accommodation. “Overland to the Pacific” is the heading attracting pub- lic attention to the line. The poster calls attention to the fact that this line' has been in successful operation for three years, and will convey pas- sengers “in new coaches drawn by six ) mules over the entire length of our | line, excepting the Colorndo desert of 100 miles, which we cross on mule back.” According to the advertisement coaches leit semi-monthly from each end, trips being started on the 9th and 24th of the month at 6 a. m. At- tention was called to the fact that an armed escort accompanied the coach Indian country.” It was stipulated that pas- sengers were provided with food dur- ing the trip, except where the coach stopped at public honses enroute, when the passenger was expected to pay for his.own meals. The fare between San Antonio and San Diego was $200, with less amounts charged between those stations and other points, such as Fort Clark, Tucson and El Paso, while it was-announced that the fare to intermediate stations was 15 ‘cents a mile. VOLCANIC FIRES IN ALASKA Torrent of Maiten San Devastated Everything in Its Path for Some Fifteen Miles. At a_meeting of the American So- ciety for the Advancement of Science, | Dr. Robert F. Griggs described a flery | flood which occurred in Alaska, in the “Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.” Here he found traces of the flood of fire winch, issuing from a fissure in the earth, swept a roaring torrent of molten sand through the fertile valley, devastating all in its path for a dis- tance of more than 15 miles.. From thousands of fissures live steam, heat- el gus and smoke issued. One could do one’s cooking in any of the smaller holes. And that was the only salva- tion of the expedition, for all fuel had been destroyed by the flood of fire. It is only a few steps from the steaming flssures to a cave In the side of a giacier in order to have the most per- fect refrigeration in the world.

First American Postal System. The first successful postal system established in any of the American colonles was that of Willlam Penn, who, in 1683, appointed Henry Waldy of Tekonay, to keep a post and “sup- ply passengers with horses from Phil- adelphia to Newcastle or the Falls of the Delaware.” “TME "LADIES' HOME FASHIONS* MAGATINES AINT ARRIVED YEY THIS MONTH AN * MISS MAYMYE WHOZIS, (S WORRIED EER TEAR "THENY MAN DE SOMETHING NEW SHE AINT WEARWNG GRACE DARLING REAL HEROINE Bravery of Frail Girl Thrilled All England—Died of Consumption at an Early Age.
