FLUNG UP FROM THE SEA.
Birth of the Bogoslof Group •# th#
Aleutlar Island*.
The first of the Bogoslof group of the
Aleutian islands was born In th® year
1TW
There was a great convulsion In the
Bering sea ubout twenty-flv# miles
aorth of Unalaska, and an Island ap
eared above the surfaco of the stormy
waters. This islet, which rose to a
ieight of nearly 3.000 feet above sea
evel. wus christened Bogoalof by the
Russians, who then owned Alaska. It
emained solitary and alone until 1882.
vhen another volcanic eruption in the
ea was followed by the birth of an
■ther island near the first
For two years the new island was the
cere of an nctlve eruption. Tten It
x>oled gradually and, like the first islet,
>ecamo the home of seals and sea Hons
tnd the breeding grounds for sea birds
The third of the Bogoslof group was

"ban Its elder sister, being about a
hlrd of a mile In diameter and with an
iltittide of some 000 feet, but the fol
owing year another convulsion of na
ure resulted in nearly doubling Its
iron.
Since then several other islands have
ieen born In various parts of the Alan
ian chain.—CKcago Journal

social meal he cared to Join tn was
'tea, pure and simple, with bread and
