The Great 6eyser.

Al 81 dn, - hifni-oH I
This consists Of a pool Of boiling
water about so yards in circumference,
9EOr8 deep, in the midst Of which there
b. q deep round funnel about 8 feet
broad, up which the boiling water Ia
emitted, There is always a supply
coming, for there is always certain
amount of hot water running out on
TWO opposite sides of the pool. Here
the visitor may amuse himself by dab
bling with his naked feet, scalding his
toes II he goes too near the pool, warm
ing his toes comfortably at an increased
distance, Excavations suitable for bath
ers there are none-as there are, so de-
'lighdnlly formed and so deliciously
filed, ut the 'Geysers in New-Zealand.
Az a. little distance, In ravine, there
was q hole in which some Of Us, one
after another, endeavored to sit and
wash ourselves. Had it not been in. Ice
land, it would have been thought to, be
q most uncomfortable tub. Occasion
ally, perhaps once in every four hours,
a larger and somewhat violent, supply
of hot water is thrown up the funnel,
which has the effect of emptying the ba-
sin Sand ejecting from 1t the hot water
rapidly. ( This occurs with o noise, and
is no doubt the indication given, o., .
real eruption when a real eruption Is
about to take place. But the indicA-
ton too frequently comes without the
eruption. This, when it does take place,
consists Of o fountain of boiling water
thrown to the height Of 60, 80-some be-
holders have said 200 feet. During
the "a hours that we remained at the
place there was no such teruption--n0
fountain-although the noise was made
and the basin emptied four or FIVE times.
About half d fdrlong off from the Great
Geysery or Geyser Primus, as wermight
call him, lis Geyser Secundus, to which
has been given the name Strokr. ibis
name We may perhaps write as Stroker,
Stroker is IAN i'll -cohditioned but still
obedient q Geysef. odtflhas 20 basin of
boiling water, but simply funnel such
as the other, about feet in diameter,
at the edgeof which a traveller Can stand
and look down into a. ealltoni boiling
below.aI 1t is "a muddy, filthy caldron,
whereas the waters Of the, Great Geyser
are pellucid and blue. The Geyser Sc,
,cundus will make Neruptions when duly
provoked by the supply dofs a. certain
amount Of ailment. aThsr custom is to
drag to its edge about, a. CART load Of
turf and dirt, and then to thrust it al in
at one dose. yoWhether 'Stroker likes or
dislikes the process Of feeding is left in
doubt. He bubbles about furiously with
the food down in his gullet for, half an
hour, and then elects it passionatfly,
throwing the half digested morsels GO
feet into the air with copious torrents Of
boiling muddy water. AS far as we
could Judge the height was 60 feet. We
are told that in 1889 Sir John Stanley
saw water thrown up from this well 1872
feet. That last figure in the total will
be held to be convincing by many
minds, Anthony Trollope IN Fortnight

Bismarck'sIBfl Against the Socialists.

I a.. q a
Bismarck's bill against the German
Socialists provides that any organiza-
ton of social, democratic, socialistic or
compupistio character. tending to en-
danger the existing order of State and
society, especially such a. are Of a be-
nevolent nature,n shall be- prohibited,
dissolved and their property sold for
the benefit Of the pauper fund: Meet
ings for advocating socialistic views are
prohibited, as are also all public festivi-
ties and parades!l The collection OF
money for socialistic purposes is pro
hibited under. penalty OF Q fine OF 6OO
marks and three months imprisonment,
the money collected to be conAscated to
the poor fund. eio Whoever partakes in
the proceedings b0f any sociaqlistic or
ganization may be fined 500 marks or
Sentenced TO three months in Jail, and
whoever attends any socialists meeting,
knowing the object with which it is
held, such as the, otficers,l speakers,
treasurer or agents Of the meeting, may
be imprisoned from one month to one
wear, and the owner of the premises is
liable to the same penalty at the discre-
ton of the authorities, All professional
socialistic agitators viii be banished
from the districts in which they
are found, o and, II foreigners, from
the realm, and are, in IS addition,
liable to fine of 1000 marks
and from one month to one years i'm
prisonment. Idle persons who can not
show any means of subsistence will be
banished, and persons found carrying,
importing or selling arms will be sem
fenced to pay fine of 1000 marks or
to SIX months imprisonment. All So
cialistic and communistic printing
Offices will be closed by the police, and
all periodicals, magazines or pamphlets
advocating socialistic views interdicted
and seized. The "plant " Of the print
ing-offices, stereotype plates and presses
will be seized by the police, sold, and
the proceeds devoted to the pauper fund.
Printers, publishers, librarians, hotel
and inn keepers and curators OF read
inp-rooms are forbidden to keep any so
cialistic work or pamphlet under pain
of fine or imprisonment, and the dis
tribution Of printed matter Of socialistic
character is also prohibited. In dis
tricts where the police consider public
safety endangered no meeting OF any
kind can, be held without their permits
sion. This bill will certainly prove the
strength Of the reaction" against the
Socialists should it become a law. Its

The Great Brule Country.

;. The Chicago correspondent of the
Troy Times writes: elf you will take q
Government surveyors map and trace
the boundary line between the States of
Michigan and Wisconsin at the extreme
northerly part of those States, you will
see Boot Like, which is near the source
of the Brule River, and located in what
is known as the trackless forests of the
great Brule country. This morning q
party of ladies and gentlemen, mostly,
from this city, win leave here for that
wild country for a months recreation.
1t is said to be one of the most inacces-
sihle. portions Of country in the center
lof Dur Continent, and that the face Of Q
white woman has never been seen there,
TO show the spirit Of adventures which
animates the ladies of the party, it should
be known that after proceeding by sreg-
ular rail to Menominee, thence BY q
mining railroad to Bad Water, from that
point the entire party will be compelled
10 walk, twelve miles through the dense
forests before, they strike the Brule Riv-
er. Here they will be taken in charge
by Indians who are engaged as voy..
ageurs, guides, ETC., andi canoes will
proceed up the river some two hundred
miles. The forests along the route are
mostly composed of pine, very thickly
studded, and great fire having ut some
time swept through the district covering
hundreds of square miles, the ground is
so strewn with fallen trees and entangled
debris that it is almost impossible to get
a beast of burden through, and much OF
the way even an Indian finds it difficult
to proceed on foot. A more desolate
country it would be hard to find. But
long way up the Brule the country opens
and becomes more tenable, and is here
the sportsman finds his paradise. Thou
sands and thousands of deer flock upon
the hills, so unused to danger that they
become easy prey to the rifle Of the hunt
err. Myriads of trout, bass and salmon
ihhabit the streams and small lakes,
while wolves, bears, foxes, and lynx
abound, some of them approaching at
times even to the tent opening of the adj
venturous explorer. The experiences
Of the ladies viii no doubt be, exciting,
and afford romance enough for many
coming winter evening"
