Volcanic Eruptions Along the Alaskan Coast.
THE following is a despatch from Seattle, Wash., under date of September 24: "Captain A. J. Henderson, of the revenue cutter Thetis, on arrival here to-day from an Arctic expedition, confirms with official reports accounts of a violent volcanic eruption of Mount Makushin on September 1st and the existence of a new peak rising from the sea, forming a part of the Bogoslov formation. The latest addition is the fourth, and with its appearance the bottom of the ocean has raised until channels formerly sufficiently large for the passage of ships are now dry land. "The Makushin volcano was threatening for six hours, and ashes heavily impregnated with sulphur fell to a depth of three-eighths of an inch. The mountain is twenty-five miles from Unalaska. Reports made to Captain Henderson in the north state that three other volcanic disturbances of similar character have occurred along the Alaskan coast during the present summer." The daily papers present such items merely as matters of news. But we present them so that those who are with us in the study of the prophecies may see how the evidence is accumulating that shows that this old earth will become more and more unsteady till the end of time is reached. France is suffering from heavy floods. Much of the territory in the vicinity of the rivers, which are said to be overflowing in all sections, is under water, and the grape crop in the lowlands is a total loss. There have been flurries of snow in the vicinity of Fort Wayne, Ind., as early as September 11 this year. The Moroccans have surrendered to the French and the insurrection is at an end.
