The erupt ton ot Krakatoa. in the Buittla strait Aug. 2.s. 18S3. still ranks Bret among the appalllug convulsions of nature. Krakatoa was n volcanic mountain midway between Sumatra and Java, but It had lawn inactive since 1080. In the spring or 1883 II began to show Fiona of a. tivIty. On the 20th of .11: ast bald explosions were beard. anti on the 28th came the eruption that fairly shook the planet. The eruption was followed by an appalling darkness, with a downpour of mud and sand. Then came a tre- mendous tidal movement, the water receding and then returning and over- whelming the people on the shores. The tidal wave was fifty feet high. When investigation became possible Ift was found that Krakatoa bad burst. throwing one part eight miles to the north and hurling the other part com- pletely over Lang Island. seven nffles to the northeast. The great mountain was literally torn up by the roots, AS was shown by the fact that over the spot where the exploded volcano had stood the mould- ing line found a depth of 100 fathoms. or 900 feet Other soundings showed that the bottom of the ocean for miles around hadtwen changed.

His Two Master Spirits Were Lofty Pride and Fierce Enthusiasm. Under the habitually unruffled cam. posure of that ocean of reserve and dominated, as I believe, by two master spirits, lies the authentic Lee. And what were those muster spirits which, blind to facts and deaf to reason. drove him on from Fannville? Were they creations of his own? No. not at all. Nature herself had planted them. And what were they? One, an all pervading, unconscious pride. a pride not sordid or arrogant, but loft t a: the other, dif- fused through his whole being nod Rola ing ill every veto, a burning. even fierce, enthusiasm. These. In my judgment, were the in- grained. controlling temperamental qualities in Hobert E. Lee which deter- mined his fate. The former could not stand the humiliation of being over- thrown completely in a cause he be- lieved right: the latter converted him at danger's first challenge, as was again and again displayed in the field. Into a prompt and inveterate tighter.
