One of these was particularly striking,
it being long line of faint lights from
the summit, terminating in great ball
of glowing lava, as though an evil eye
from the Internal regions were glaring
at us across the black distance. Still
lower down and moving along the flank
of the mountain, at very slight angle
of declination. was moderately sized
lava flow that has since attained con-
siderable proportions. 1t was, without
doubt, five miles in length, and as the
lava seemed to accumulate in a small
lake, l watched it all night, thinking it
might burst out in a large stream di-
rectlv down the mountain side. But
my vigils were futile, and the day came,
and with it a hard tramp across the old
lavas to the new flow. Cor. N. Y. Irib-

A Test Of Innocence.

A poor, pale seamstress was arraigned
for theft in Paris. She appeared at the
bar with her baby of eleven months on
her arm. She went to get some work
one day and stole three gold coins Of
ten francs each. The money was missed
soon, after she left her employer, and
servant was sent to her room to claim
1T. The servant found herabout to quit,
the room with the three gold coins in
her hand. She said to the servint, "I
am going to, carry them back to YOU"
Nevertheless she was carried to the
Commissioner of Police, and he ordered
her to be sent to the Police Court for
trial. She was TOD poor to engage
lawyer, and when asked by the Judge
what she had to say for herself, she re-
piled: 1.-The day went to my employ
er's l. carried my child with me. 1t
was in my arms, as it is now. L
wasn't paying attention to it. There

out its little hand and seized three
pieces, which did not observe until
got home. lat once put on my bonnet
and was going back to my employer to
return them when was arrested This
is the solemn truth, as hope for Heav-
ems mercy"
.a. The court could not believe this story.
They upbraided the mother for her inn
pudence in endeavoring to palm off
such a manifest lie for the truth. They
besought her, for her own sake to re-
tract SO absurd tale, for it could have
no effect but to oblige the court to sem =
tence her to much severer punishment
than they were disposed to intiict upon
one so young and evidently SO deep in
poverty.
These appeals had no effect, except
to strengthen the poor mothers perth
nacious adherence to her original story.
As this firmness was sustained by that
look of innocence which the most adroit
criminal can never counterfeit, the
court was at some loss to discover what
decision justice demanded. To relieve
their embarrassment one of the Judges
proposed to renew the scene described
by the mother. Three gold coins were
placed on the clerks table. The mother
was requested to assume the position in
which she stood at her employers
house. There was then a breathless
pause in court. The baby soon discov-
cred the bright coins, eyed them for a
moment, smiled, and then stretched
forth its tiny hand and clutched then
in its fingers with a miser's eagerne
The mother was at once acquitted.

the bees have deposited several pounds
of very fine honey, the principal por-
ton of which is in the shape of cylin-

not vary one-quarter of an inch from
being a perfect circle, about seven
inches in diameter. This occupies only
