Kilauea's Bottomless Crater.

A letter received from Charles NJ Row

son Charles and myself, with seven other
ladies and gentlemen from Australia, Wis
tied the great volcano known as kilauea
on the island of Hawaii, five hundred miles
from Honolulu, and nearly three thousand
miles from San Francisco. We left Homo
lulu by steamer, and after stormy voyage
of two days landed in Hawaii, and thence
went on mules over thirty miles of lava
beds until we reached the crater of Kilauea
now seven thousand feet above the sea
We descended at night into the crater and
walked distance of three miles over lava
until we reached the burning lake. This
was very active, and we sat for hours on
the brink of the great lake of fire, which
was at least three miles long by one and
half wide. The waves of fire were running
very high, often one hundred feet while
eruptions were of frequent occurrence,
throwing molten lava INFO the air hundreds
OF feet with noise that was deafening.
Now for our narrow escape. This en-

lakes. the very spot where we sat down and
passed hours, the three miles of pathway
across the lava beds upon which we walked

completely destroyed, the whole having
fallen in and leaving an open crater, miles
IN extent and apparently fathomless. This
was followed by fortv-three distinct shocks
of earthquake, lasting for period of four

for their narrow escape from an awful
doom, and will remember the rest of their
days how near they came to journey to

An Anecdote for Architects.

Architects are fond of telling an amusing
story which tends to illustrate the differ
ence between house builders and members
OF their own profession. 1t appears that
Mr.. Alexander, an eminent English archi-
tect, was in certain lawsuit under cross
examination by a distinguished barristel
who wished to derac from the weight OF
his testimony. and who. after asking him
his name. proceeded:
on area builder, beleve?'
No, sir, was the reply, Il am not a
builder; | am an architect"
They are much the same. / suppose?"
Il beg your pardon, sir; | can not admit
that; | consider them to be totally differ
emit"
''Oh, indeed Perhaps you will state
wherein this great difference exists"
An architect, sir" replied Mr.. Alexan-
Ger, "conceives the design. prepares the
plan, draws out the specifications-in short,
supplies the mind; the builder is the
briclllayer or the carpenter. The builder
in fact, is the machine the architect, the
power that puts the machine together and
sets it going"
oh, very we'll Mr.. Architect" said the
lawyer; and now, after your ingenious
distinction without difference, perhaps
You can inform the Court who was the
architect of the Tower of Babel ?''-to
which question Mr.. Alexander made the
prompt and telling reioinder:
There was no architect, sir, and hence
the confusion. "-[Geo. j. Manson. in St
Nicholas.

riety of other fruits and berries Will always
be certain crops. Our fruit men have been
learning a great deal in the last few years,
and now instead of seeking the low situa-
tons, which contain the most moisture,
for their orchards and vineyards they find
that hillsides are much to be preferred and
that water for irrigation is by no means the
necessity that has been so generally sup
posed. Of this hill land, so long neglected,
there is an abundance to be had through
out all of this region, and at small prices
compared to what they can be purchased
for in five years from now. 1t is perhaps
safe to say there is large amount of the
kind of land under consideration that can
be bought at from 81 to So per acre that is
as valuable for all the purposes of fruit
culture as that which sells for $50, 800,
and more per acre in those locali-
ties in the State where Embarrassing has
become a business of local value and i'm
portance. 1t is to be considered that all of
this land is within convenient distance
of railroad transportation, and that none
of the fruit to be raised in all the region
hereabout will have wagon haul of but a
few miles. Our citizens have not, hereto
fore, realized the value of these lands, but
they are beginning to, and some are far
sighted enough to see that every acre of

Pocket-Hunting.

Gold pocket-hun is separate and dis
tinct from any other character of prospect
ing. There are not more than a half dozen
men on the Pacific coast who have reduced
pocket-huntiDg to a science and can trace
with unerring certainty gold-bearing float
quartz to its source. BY close observance
they have discovered that when gold quartz
becomes detached from vein by the de-
cay of ages, coupled with the erosive ac-
ton of the elements, and drifts down the
slOping side of hill or mountain, the float
spreads outin the form of fan or triangle
from the point from which ii had become
detached. When the experienced pocket
hunter finds a piece of rich float he imme
diately SETS about seeking the source from
which it drifted by the following ingenious
method He draws an imaginary line on
the side of the hill parallel with The sum
NIT, and pans the dirt along this line to the
right as long as he can find the color"
When he fails to find color in that direc-
ton he is convinced that he has passed be-
yond the point where the float has drifted
from the pocket, He then returns
along the base of the imaginary tri-
angle to the point where he first
began panning and proceeds in the
same manner to the left until he is satisfied
that he has passed the line of the drift on
that side. He then returns to the center of
the base of the triangle, and ascending the
hill goes through the same process. the base
of the triangle continually narrowing as he
approaches the point of the triangle from
where the float drifted, and pans until the
" colors" give out in ascending. He is now
satisfied from experience that the eagerly
sought for pocket lies between the point be-
low where he found the last color and the
point above where he failed to find ii, the
two prospect holes being separated by only
a few feet. He now runs cut between the
two points. and invariably finds the exact
point in the hidden vein where the rich
float drifted from, and uncovers the pocket.
which sometimes contains only a few ounces
of the yellow metal, and again pans out
fortunes. 1t requires great patience and
care 10 follow up the float successfully, and
the enthusiastic prospeetor, if water is con-
venient, camps on the spot and labors dill
gently and cheerfully, in the certain knowl-
edge that he will be richly rewarded for his
toll when the source of the float is found

WHAT GLASS OF WINE DID.-It is said
that glass OF wine changed the history
of France for quarter of a century. Louis
Philippe, King OF France, had son, Duke
of Orleans, and heir to the throne,
who drank only certain number of
glasses of wine, because even one more
made him intoxicated. The day he left
Paris to join bis regiment he breakfasted
with his friends, and forgot TO count the
number of glasses, and took one more than
usual. As he entered his carriage he stum-
bled. frightening the horses, and causing
them to run. The Duke, with a steady
head, might have leaped from his carriage
safely. but in the attempt his head struck
the pavement. and he soon died. The glass
of wine overthrow the Orleans rule, conlis-

Premature Badness.

9. Lassar has continued his observations
on the nature of premature badness, and
has further convinced himself of the COM
municability of at least the form associ-
ated with dandruff. When the hairs which
fall of in such cases are collected, rubbed
up with vaseline, and the ointment so made
is rubbed among the fur of rabbits or
white mice, badness rapidly makes itself
visible on the parts so treated. That this is
not done by the yaseline was shown by an
nointing other animals with the yaseline
alone, which produced no effect whatever
He considers that the disease is spread by
hairdressers, who employ combs and
brushes on their customers, one after an
other, without any regular cleansing of
those articles after each time thev are used.
During frequent visits to the hairdressers,
1t can scarcely fail that brushes are used
which have been shortly before dressing
the hair of one affected with so common
complaint as scaly badness Fee
males are less often affected with this
form of badness, because the hair
dresser more frequently attends
to them at their own homes. and there
uses their combs and brushes. In order TO
prevent as far as possible the commence
ment of premature badness, the hair
should be cut and dressed at home. and
with ones own implements. and these
thoroughly clean. When it has begun, the
following mode of treatment is suggested:
The scalp is to be daily well soaped with
tar or fluid glycerlne potash soap, which is
TO be rubbed in for fifteen minutes firmly.
The head is then to be drenched with first
warm water, and then gradually colder
water. A two per cent. corrosive sublimate
lotion is next to be pretty freely applied.
The head is then to be dried, and the roots

oil is to be used on the head. This treat

disease hot only to stand, but the hair
has been to a considerable extent restored.

THE NATURE OF LOVE.

Love is fire in air,
Love is a rose in spring,
Love is Il crystal sphere,
A melody, mirroring,
Love is blossom, love a flower,
Love is the cleaning of a shower,
OF dew-drops from an orange bower.
Love is a golden star,
\ fragrance of the night,
A rainbow in the air,
A cloud, lost delight;
Love, It's the sense of heaven near,
The memory of heaven gone,
The last leaf of the lingering year,
The faint smell of the dawn.
