CONVICTION OF A GERMAN BARONESS
FOR MURDER. A murder, with as much
of the element of dramatic horror 10 it as
if it formed the subject of fiction, was
recently committed il Munich ,b5. the,
Canoness Julia dc Ebergenyi, alias the
Baroness Maria Way. The canoness had
an intrigue with the Count Gustavu1
Choninsky, an Austrian officer. who was
married, and had separated from his wife,
who lived in retirement a. Munich.
The canoness found the existence of the
Countess Chorinsky an obstacle to her
schemes, and resolved to kill the unhappy,
lady She accordingly left Vienna iSS
Munich. found HSyeeads tog introduce herself
to the Countess under the name of the
Baroness Way, poisoned her in her apart
ments, and went back to Vienna, She
was, tracked, brought to trial. and found
guilty Of the murder. and ,eentenced to
twenty years strict coninement--one
week of which is annually to be passed
in solitary conference.-the loss of nobili..
ty, and to the repayment of the coss Of
the trial.

TEE vOICANtc ERUPTIONs AT THE
SANDWICH ISLANDS.


Tho recent outburss of spbterraneap
fires in the volcano of Mauna Loa, in the
island of Hawai-, although very terrible
in its character. has beea surpassed in
some respects BY eruptions in The past, as
we'll as by eruptions in the volcano Of
Kilawea, fifteen miles distant from it.
A recent article in Froser's Mcgasine
thus refers to the sttpendous operations
of these two volcanoes: .,-,,
"But even more tremendous the volcano
of Mauna Loa, huge dome-shaped noun
tain in Hawaii, nearly $4,000 feet above
The sea, formed chiefly by the repeated
outHows of highly liquid lava boiling
aud cascading over the lips of a central
vent at its summit. The phenomcl Of
this volcano are on the most stupendous
scale. Th, highest crater, which is circu-
lar, 5000 feet in diameter and $50 feet
deep, is frequently filled by the yelling up
of the lava from the, vents at its bot
ON. During one Of the latest eruptions
the lava stream extended sixty five miles,
and averaged four miles in width and
twelve feet in depth Its discharge was
accompanied by columns of fire, scoriae Of
flamentous lava (called Pele's hair), and
dense vapor which lowered over the era;
ter to the hight Of 500 feet for twenty
days, darkGning the sun and obscuring
every object few yards distant; while
from the surface of the lava currents,
clouds of steam rolled upward. On this
occasion it is calculated that within ten
mouths l5,4oo,0OO.0OO cubic feet of
molten matter we're blown out of the era.
ter. and that the lava overdowed an area
of 2oO,0o0 acres in the Same berioi Of
time. The lava in this gigantic crater
rarely remains long at the same level.
1t sometimes rises to the lip of the .tray
ter--at other times sinks entirely out Of
sight. The subsidences leave irregular
shelves or edges around the walle of the
crater. The eruption in 1910 Of Kilawea,
fifteen miles from Mauna Loa, was, il
