Any active volcano will present start
ling curiosities enough, but these are
naturally multiplied when the crater
happens to be on level with the sea.
Prof. Henry Ward, who visited the
ocean volcano off the coast of New
Zealand, describes his adventures while
exploring that strange mass of solid
and hoid wonders:
"Some distance" he says, within
the crater OF the hollow island we
were stopped short by great lake Of
steaming water, quite filling this end
OF the crater, and being. as We could
see when the clouds lifted, nearly hall
mile from either side. The water was
too hot to comfortably bear the hand
in it. and was farther unsupportable tc
either touch or taste by a strong in
fusion OF alum aud suiphuric acid
which bit painfully at any scratch O,
sore upon our skin.
"On the further border of tho lake
and half around It's shore. was ,ow Of
the most violent so!fataras which hav.
ever seen.
"They had built for themselves littl,
pillar-like cones from ten to thirty fee
high and yard or two in diameter a
the base. Through these open chin
neys they were trumpeting stream ant
roaring sulphurio gases with violenc,
that was frightful to contemplate, ant
such demoniacal soreeching and din q
pfflicted our ears. even at the long dis
tance where We stood.
1--WE dragged the row-boat along th
volcanic floor and launched it upon tn
boiling lake. The water of the lax
vas of milky, Opaque cast, but W
could feel with cur oars that it was il
most places not over ten feet deep. i
many spots the water was boiling furi
ously with much froth and foam, Will
still its heat was much below the boil
ing point of 212s Fahr. These wer
dangero us places. the abundant air il
the water diminished materially it
buoynncy, and our boat sank alarming
ly in crossing them"

BENEFIT OF Quick WoRk.-The rapid
worker has not time to get disgusted
with his work-it is out of his hands
long before it grows wearisome. Dis
gust is the product of dswdling effort
If the work be somewhat varied, the
pleasure in connection with it's compile
tion is varied too. Hence, perhaps, the
ressoa why the total and sudden giving
up of work is often attended with evil
results. The transition from life full
of activity and rich in the enjoyment
of successful labor, to a life of utter
idleness, with no such vivid enjoyment
has often proved fatal. There is toe
little activity in the new life and toe
little of the pleasure of activity. Idle
ness without the excitement and pleas
ure of work, becomes depressing. Tht
vital forces droop and decay. On the
other hand, to the busy worker res
and recreation have q double relish
No holiday is SO refreshing as that il
which he runs away from his lsbors
and enjoys himself in quite different
sense. If his life were a succession o
holidays, it would sooa grow burden
some.
