The Boiling Lake OF Dominica.

A glance into the internal caldron
that lies before us informs us that we
are standing here at the mouth of a still
active volcano. The basin of the lake
lies in the midst of deep, steeply de-
scending cup, the crater, to which two
streams come from the north. One of
the streams brings cold chalybeate
water, and runs by the basin to unite
with its warm effluent; the other, bring
ing warm water, empties into the boil
ing lake. On the south of the crater
gaps an opening in the wall which con-
stitutes the outlet of the lake. 1t is of
quite recent origin, for it dates only
from the great catastrophe of 1880, in
which the vailey-forest was destroyed.
Previous to this time the area OF the
lake was about three times as great as
it is now, when its diameter is only
about forty-tive PAGES. In the center of
the basin is geyser issuing from
mound of black mud, which. when we
observed it. spouted to height of some
fifteen or twenty feet. Other observers
have given it height of from sixty to a
hundred feet. In the interior of the
mud-heap of the geyser we remarked,
whenever the wind blew the steam
away, kind of tufaceous structure, of
which we were not able to learn any,
thing more exactly. Great masses of
sulphurous gas escape over the whole
surface of the basin from the black,
muddy fluid. and keep up a loud roar
ing and humming, which only height
ems the dismal aspect of the whole
place. FIR. JohoW, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly for March.

EricssOn's destroyer"

John Ericsson. who invented the
Ericsson engine and the monitors, has
completed a new war vessel which he
calls The Destroyer" 1t is intended
for harbor protection only, and he has
offered it to the United States Govern
ment for its actual cost to himself, which
was $l50,0OO. He asks 100000 more
for the patents covering the principles
on which it is constructed. 'The De-
strOyer" Is the most formidable defensive
machine ever constructed for war pur-
poses, and but two or three of these
cheap affairs would defend the best
harbor in the world against a hostile
fleet of the most powerful iron-clads.
1.-The Destroyer" is intended to oper-
ate entirely under water, and presents
no surface as target to the attacking
vessels. 1t is moved by engines of great
energy, and has gun at the bow carry
ing an explosive projectile weighing
1.45O pounds. When the gun is fired
the port hole is opened and closed by
outer and inner valves, to prevent the
inflow of sea water. This submarine
battery ranges up to within 800 feet of
the ship it is to attack, and the volcanic
force with which the projectile is dis
charged will lodge it inside the thickest
plates of an iron-clad, where it explodes
with terrible force, as it is loaded with
gun cotton instead of powder.
The money which first-class steel
cruiser would cost would build enough
OF these submarine monsters to defend
the harbor of New York against any
naval force in the world. There is no
measure which can be placed on the
debt which this country owes to the in
ventive genius of John Ericsson.-Chi-
cdQo Journal.

Ell Mahdi as q Bouncer,

In view of the fact that all of General
Wolseley's advanced commands are on
the run back to Korti, the following
from the ready rhymster of the Mime
apolis Tribune, published some time
ago, would seem to have been evolved
in the spirit of prophecy as well as of
poetry:
Yes. am the boss of the sandy Soudan,
ANA hardly think more competent man
Could be found between Tennessee and japan
To bounce the bold British invader
I'm twelve-fngered. bow-legged son of .
gun.
I'm prophet from way -back-a child of the
sun.
I'm dandy. lal-lah a darlin', hun.
I'm red-handed ripper and raider.
Ny followers number two millions or more,
And every man of 'em equal to four,
Ihey re not much for style but they're dam
They're bad men from Keshir-el-wadir.
El Gordon I've captured. I'm happy to state;
81 Stewart has met his well-merited fate;
III butcher Ell Wolseley il he'll only wait,
ana queen Vic will think luck has betrayed
her.
So strike, shirtless sons of the shimmerins

A Trade in CurIews' Wings.

The cowboys here, writes a Midland,
Tex, correspondent, in the good wealth
er are doing a little business on their
own account by killing wolves with
strychnine for their hides. The hides
they send to Chicago, getting fair re-
turn for them. A New York woman,
who came out here to keep hotel, with
her husband, has started up an interest
in curlews' wings, which are fashion
able adornments for ladies' hats, and
the cowboys are killing curlews now by
the score: The curlew is abundant on
the staked plains, and their wings,
which are brownish green, with splashes
of dark brown and darker green, are
very good backgrounds in millinery for
a few more brilliant feathers. The cur
lew nests in the prairies by scraping up
some dry grass under tuft of gramma
grass. They drop four eggs into the
nest, and it is as rare as to discover a
four-leaf clover TO find a nest where the
four small ends of the eggs are not to-
gether. The cur!ews' wings bring 10
cents pair here.

-:-::EdI! Inc view IUrn HuFuts says:
Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D'Herbelot spells
it, is an ancient title in the Mosiem
world, which at first simply signified di
rector of the faithful. But in the course
of Moslem history, and especially Mos
lem history in Africa, it came to have
another Specification related to an ac-
cepted prophecy of Mohammed. 1t
necessarily refers to the African part of
Arabic history. BY this secondary sig
nificance of the word, the Mahdi is
second ancient leader come again. His
appearance is the .'second advent of
a prophet who lived in the old days,
and who in all the meantime has been
with the immOrtals. Mohammed, the
twelfth Imam. and the twelfth in de-
scent from Ali. is the real original. He
is the Mahadi who comes again every
now and then. He was hidden from the
world at an early age and communed
only with his disciples through his life
time, and finally did not die but event
up" with the fixed intention of return
ing to revive the glories of Moslem.

gently; there you wrong me. have

as heartless and wicked as you think.
Dear Elsie, long ago was to have been

and your happiness will come back to
you. You are fairer and sweeter and

better than he has ever done me. Only
don't tell him that am going, Elsie"
She was too delicate to say why, but
Elsie understood.
So, in tears and silence, all was made
ready, and, when Paul was absent,
Judith hurriedly kissed the pale Elsie
and drove away.
Amidst all the bitterness of depart
ure, she found one ray of comfort-the
sense of freedom from bondage. Her,
last weeks had been weeks Of terror
She had seen the fate fast approaching,
and, magnetized by Paurs strong will
had been powerless to escape.
As she said this to herself, she me-
chanically drew away her dress from
the vacant seat where gentleman had
placed himself beside her. He bent
forward and looked in her face. 1t

The Artists Secret.

TIE artists work was done, the sweet proud

A soft sigh told him ne was not alone.
A warm white hand was laid upon his own.
Turning he found Lady Una al his side;
She had learned the secret he had sworn to

Close TO his face she bent her Queenly head.
Like stars her dark eyes glistened as she said:
"Say not farewell, for that would break my
heart:

Profits of Literature.

Some idea of the profits of literature
may be gained from the fact that an
author generally receives from the pub
Usher but 10 per cent on the retail price
of the copies of the work actually sold.
As most books do not sell more than
1000 copies, the author gets, provided
the book costs 81, $500; or $3.50, if it
costs S1.50. A successful novel NAV
sell 10000, even 10000 copies or more,
and such novelist has a chance of
something like recompense for his la
Dor. But successful novelist is one
author in two hundred, perhaps five
hundred. And even he. or she. gets far
less than is commonly supposed. Mrs.
Stowe received, it is said, owing to var
iOus untOward circumstances, only some
$4,000 or S12. 900 from Uncle Toms
Cabin" which has, probably, had a
larger sale than any work ever pub
lished. The '.Innocents Abroad" earn
ed for Mark Twain only about 800, 1000,
although he has been credited with
thrice that sum. So popular series of
books as american Men of Letters
and american Statesmen" will not
have an average sale of more than
5000 to $500 copies. At S1.25 per
copy the authors would not get more
than 1915 or Si37, and vet five or six
months must be required to do one of
the volumes properly. This is a much
smaller compensation than the most or
dinary clerk or salesman would receive.
Indeed. it is not equal to the wages of
a common mechanic. Consequently,
only those who are in independent cir
cumstances, or who support themselves
by other means, can afford the luxury
of literature. Authorship ought to
bring good deal of honor, since the
is so starvingly slender

One Of Gov. Curtin's Boys.

Gov. Curtin, who is quite a conspic.
uous figure at Washington, both in con-
gress and in social circles, writes a cor
respondent, created sensation at the
theater one evening. He had been anx-
ious to see Henry Irving. and told Mrs.
Curtin and their daughter, Mrs. Wilson,
to go, and he would meet them there.
They need not engage seat for him,
No, no; he would get seat and be all
right, he said as they parted. The
house stayed in session on the river and
harbor bill until it was quite late, and
by the time the governor reached the
theater there was standing room only,
and very little of that. He wedged
himself in along one of the aisles and
happened in front of some men who
were perched upon window-sill. One
of them touched him upon the shoulder
and told him to stand aside. just then
big, double-fisted fellow, who was
standing close by, pointed his index
finger up at the three window-sill orna-
ments with the firm inquiry, do you
know who you're shovin'? That's ex-
Gov. Curtin, our old war governor.
Then getting louder: I'm one of the
boys; ! served under you, governor; no.
body shall shove you around where l
am; git down off that window-sill, he
shouted; git down quick" and as they
slid from their roost he yelled. ..shill l
knock them down, governor; shill l
knock them DOWN." and the fellow
fairly danced with excitement. By this
time the door-keepers had reached the
parties, when Curtin's protector shout
ed: Cit the old governor seat;" and
pulling out a roll of bills, "git him a
seat" he continued in a voice that
silenced the actors on the stage. Cit
him seat; here's the money for it."
There was one private box not yet oc-
cupied. and the managers were glad to
rush Curtin into it to end the scene that
was not on the bills. ''One of the
boys" as he called himself. then took
his station in the middle aisle, and for
the rest of the evening gazed intently
into the private box at the old war gov
ernor, who, during the melee, was un-
able to avoid the attention he was re-
ceiving. 1t created more amusement
and applause than any scene in the play.
