Camping on ColIma.
New York Herald

\ special dispatch from the City of
Mexico states that William B. Richard
son, the young Boston naturalist, has fin
ished his work in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, and on the active volcano of
Colima, where he has been camped for
the last two months. From the extreme
summit of the Sierra Nevada he could
look down into the crater of the volcano
There were every five hours or more
signs of activity, great clouds of vapor,
gas and ashes coming up with magnif-
cent effect and rising to tremendous
height. But from the Sierra Nevada NO
sound could be heard.
Richardson, being determined to in
vestigate nearer at hand, moved his camp
to the side of the volcano at great per-
sonal risk, pitching his tent at the upper
line of pine trees and just below the
lower lines of ashes and lava. From this
point Richardson and his Indian follow
ers could hear the sounds of the volcano.
One night during the eruption they
could distinctly see the deep red glow of
molten lava as it ran down the mountain.
Richardson was regarded by the natives
as phenomenally daring, but his expe-
dition resulted in no harm to himself or
to his party.

THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEB. 26.
Ate His own Tail.

A strange and really dramatic situa-
lion is one described by the author of
"Obeah," little hook which treats of
West Indian life. Insects and reptiles
are abundant in the West Indies, and one
soon gets we'll acquainted with certain
small, bright green lizards, which are
perfectly harmless and very lively.
These little creatures are quite tame,
and when caught by the tail they slip
away, leaving that appendage behind
them.
l was once sitting in the veranda,
watching little green lizard darting
about after the flies. 1t became bold,
and in one of its quick movements
jumped on my foot. made a sudden
snatch, and caught the little fellow by
the tail. Giving wriggle, he darted
off, leaving that portion of his property
in my hands, and, having no use for it,
dropped it on the floor and resumed
my book.
Presently looked down and saw that
lot of ants had found the piece of tail,
and were hurrying off with their treas.
ure as fast as they could. When they
had dragged it almost to their hole ]
noticed my little green friend, few
inches away, intently eying his missing
property. The ants were just giving a
final pull toward their nest, when the
lizard suddenly made dart upon them,
seized his bit of tail, and swallowed ii
with evident gusto.

sr - Eating the First Oyster.


Is has been often said that he must
have been a bold man who first ate an
oyster. This is said in ignorance of the
legend which assigns the first act of oys-
ter eating to a very natural cause.
1t is related that man, walking one
day, picked up one of these savory BIZ
valves just as it was in the act Of gaping.
Observing the extreme smoothness Of
the interior of the shells, he insinuated
his finger between them that he might
feel their shining surface, when sud-
denly they closed upon the exploring
digit with sensation less pleasurable
than he anticipated.
The prompt withdrawal of his finger
was scarcelya more natural movement
than its transfer to his mouth. 1t is not
very clear why people when they hurt
their fingers put them into their mouths;
but it is very certain that they do; and
in this case the result was most fortu-
nate.
The owner of the finger tasted oyster
juice for the first time, as the Chinaman
in Elias essay having burnt his finger
first tasted cracking. The SAVIOR was
delicious; he had made great discovery;
so he picked up the oysters, forced open
the shells, banqueted upon their con-
tents, and soon brought oyster eating
into fashion.
And, unlike most fashions, it has never
gene, and is never likely to 60 out.

Muscle Shoals Canal,
New York telegram

The obstruction known as the Muscle
Shoals, in the Tennessee river, which
covered about % miles out of the 453 be.
tween Chattanooga and Paducah, at its
mouth, are at length overcome by means
of locks and dams built by the general
government, and the river is now open
so that boats loaded at New Orleans can
at all times proceed to Chattanooga, and
most Of the time to Knoxville. The dis
lance from Chattanooga to New Orleans
is 1901 miles, as against 2,067 from Pitts
burg and 1857 from Cincinnati, and it is
claimed the coal freights from Chatta-
nooga to New Orleans Will be between
30 and 90 cents, as against s1.o5 from
Pittsburg. The improvement of THU
short piece of the river has been more OF
less under construction for sixty years.

the air to be gradually driven out, and
mounted on rolling support, which may
be held near to, or removed some dis

Nee dies and Pins.

Metal pins were introduced into Eng
: land from France in 1913. Within a
short time after machines were con-
structed in England for the manufacture
of pins. Previously they had been filed
to a point and the head had been soldered
by hand. Great opposition was made to
the novelty" says Felkin, "but utility
and cheapness prevailed in its favor.
The common sewing needle was brought
hither from India after the discovery Of
the route by the Cape of Good Hope
Before that time sewing was performed
in the method still used by shoemakers.

NeuraIgia-Rheumatism

Neuralgia and rheumatism arellthe cause of
nearly all the pains and aches from which so
many suffer. Innumerable persons suffer from
headache, which is, in most cases, nervous or
neuralgia. The sides. abdomen. chest shoulders or
region, Of the heart are frequently affected by
pain. Thousands of people suffer from pain i'm
the back, with lame or weak back, caused
from Irritation, weakness or disease Of the nerves
OF the back.
Rheumatism is most frequent and painful af-
lection, and the rheumatic pains may be in any
part of the system, but most frequently In the
arms, shoulders, leg and feet These diseases are
always more dangerous IN the spring, and should
receive Immediate attention.
Why continue to suffer when DIR. Greene's Ner-
yura, the great pain rellever, will certainly cure
YOU? 1t is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. You can procure it at any druggists for
81 90 per bottle, and it is only necessary to use
this iponderftl remedy to be convinced of its
marvellous effects.
