This action becomes very transpa- }
‘rent when it is known that there in ‘
‘not a man of-war in the United ‘
States navy that can be commended
immediate y by the government.
They are either aid up for repairs
or in foreign waters. But Bayard
knew this, and this incident is but a
repetition of the many that have oc
curred dnring the past four years.
Thr secretary blustered a good deal
when the German government in
sulted the United States a few weeks
ago, but he soon for ot all about the
occurrence It will?» the same in
this case, and the residents of Hayti
need not fear the appearance of an

A NEW JERSEY VOLOANO.
'JW the Trap Rock of Orange Mountain
Wu Pol-.mod.
Un the summit of Orange Mountain,
A ten minutes' walk from the town of
Orange. is an extinct volcano. For
several years past powerful stone break
ers, driven by steam engines. have been
breaking the hard basaltic rock of this
mountain by the hundreds of tons every
season for the purpose of macadam
izing public streets and private
drives and walks. The work 01
dunolition has advanced so far
that the scrutinizing eyes of som
geologists perceived the distinct out
lines of a huge crater that was one
lilled to overflowing with melted stone.
similar to an immense caldron full of
Tort in a molten condition To ap~
pcarancc ucarly one-half of the rock
that composed the crater has been so
far removed by working toward the
middle from the east side. The outline
of the rocky crater appears to be several
Lundred feet in diameter and of un
known depth. The very summit of the
crater is said to be about six hundred
feet above tide-water at New York City.
The mind of the geologist runs back
ages upon ages ago, when the bellowina
of this extinct volcano could be heard
distinctly for many miles around
and when the lurid flames darted hun
dreds of feet in the air like the terrific
flames of Vesuvius; and from this now
cold and silent crater large streams of
lava once flowed in every direction.
which eventually cooled an formed the
immense deposit of trap rock of which
Orange Mountain is chiefly composed.
Then there came a time when this huge
caldron ceased to overflow and the im
mense furnace began to burn with less
and less fervor.
After the internal tire began to burn
1 out the molten stone began to cool, and
‘as the cooling process progressed the
1 liquid and half-plastic mass assumed
Iregular coiumnal forms, as true and
‘smooth in many places as if the huge
blocks had been dressed out and ncafiy
fitted to each other by planes, rule and
plumb line of a master builder. But in
some places the formation is uite ir
regular and of a great variety 0? curved
and rectangular forms. Thousands of
curiosity seekers and devotees of pleas
urc have traveled a long distance to see
this wonderful curiosity, and many can
perceive nothinw but a vast deposit of
dirty rock, hire a worthless “cle
phant," standing in full view be
fore their cnraptured sight. The exte
rior of the columns is of a dirty slate
like color. while the surface of an por
tion newly broken presents a bluish
black appearance. somewhat tinged with
agrccn shade. At one time interest
and excitement of certain persons rose
to such a pitch that it was proposed to
purchase that portion of the mountain
embracing the extinct volcano and to
hold it in statu quo for the benefit and
satisfaction of those who might exist in
ages to come. But the mercenary own
er fixetl avaluation of fifty thousand
dollars on the rare curiosity. which fab
ulous amount will grove tobeamost
effectual (filletlls on a 1 further efl‘orts to 3

This trap rock is of igneous origin. 1
One theory of scientists is that when the ;
volcanic res were raging in the bowels l
of old earth, all the o eagtnous material ‘
flowed into immense reservoirs. where
it is now found in the form of petrole
um, while the molten residuum
continued to roll slowly over and
over in the crater until all the carbo.
naccous matter had been driven out
by the intense heat, after which
the material that row forms the
basaltic columns began to cool;
and as the plastic mass began to pass
into a solid state. rcctangu ar and pO
- crystal or blocks were formed
ow man on 3cs upon it passed
away befoir’o thg sugitcrraneangefires had
gone out. and before this vast mass of
red-hot rock became cool, is quite be
yond the ken of mortals. Finite crea
tures. as we are. can grasp a few hun
dred. and even a few thousand years;
but when we behold terrestrial phenom
ena which suggest millions of ages. the
mind is bewil cred at the contemplation
of the immeasurable extent of the vast
eternity behind us and the boundless
vista of duration that stretches out before
the most vivid imagination.
No doubt there are along this moun
tain range other extinct volcanoes, which
in ages to come will be unearthed. and
will resent geological phenomena of as
mucgintcrcst to scientists who may then
be dwelling on the earth as we of the
present age perceive in the formation of
this cold and extinct miniature Vesu
