The Times-Democrat notes that the
recent school elections in the Dakotas
do not indicate that the women there
care much about using the ballot. In
Sanborn county, Southern Dakota, out
of the 1900 female voters not over 100
voted, and that is the county where
are the headquarters of the woman
suffrage campaign and the banner pro-
hibition county of the State. The per-
centage of women actually voting was
smaller in other counties. In North
Dakota the same Indifference was OBJ
seryable. When the women voted
they voted usually as their husbands

Some Antipodeans have been as
tonished by the possibilities of book
making. Mr.. Theodore Bevan visited
the island of Kiwai two years ago,
and wrote an account Of the cannibal
feasts of the natives. Another expe-
dition recently went to the island, and
Mr.. Beyan's account of them was
translated and read to the natives.
Some roared with laughter, but others
looked at it more seriously, and said it
was ''bitter language" and "not true. +"
These natives cultivate thirty-six
kinds of bananas, twenty kinds of
yams, and ten kinds of sweet potatoes.

The vast catacombs by which large
portion Of the city Of Paris is under
mined were only known by tradition
until the year 1774, when some alarm
ing accidents aroused the attention of
the government. The old quarries
were then surveyed and plans of them
taken, the result being the discovery
that the churches, palaces and almost
the entire Southern portion of Paris
were undermined and in great danger
of sinking into the abyss below.
A special committee was appointed
to investigate the matter, but were
very tardy in carrying out instructions,
doing but little until the summer of
1775, and not then until several
houses had sank 90 to 100 feet below
the surrounding level. Investigation
proved that the quarrymen who had
honeycombed the foundation Of The
city had done it regardless of the con-
sequences, leaving pillars without any
regularity whatever, and some too
weak to stand the enormous strain of
the weight above, some of the pillars
themselves having been undermined or
set upon foundations that had been
previously followed out.
The aqucduct of Acunell passed
over this treacherous ground; it had
already suffered some shocks, and, If
the quarries had continued to be neg
lected, accidents would have hap
pened that would have cut off its sup
ply from Paris and flooded the excava-
tions with water. For years and
years, workmen were busily engaged
building pillars and supporters under
the city, until about the year of the rev.
olution, when everything was brought
to a standstill, and the catacombs con-
verted into an immense underground
deadhouse.
How many innocent persons were
murdered during the awful days Of
the reign Of terror" and thrown down
the shafts and wells that led to this
awful charnel house will never be
known. AT least Z, 900, 600 human re-
mains are said to repose in the cata-
combs.-lSt. Louis Republic.

Boiling Lakes in the Sicrras,

About 100 miles north of Oroviile,
at the foot of old Lassen, there is a
boiling lake, covering several acres.
The depth of the lake is unknown, but
its entire surface constantly boils like
huge kettle. The degree of heat we
do not know but we were there about
ten years ago, and remember distinct
ly that it would scald the skin from
the fingers in a very few seconds.
Our party agreed that it would boil
an egg in four minutes. The smell of
sulphur pervaded the atmosphere about
the lake, and around its borders some
thing like sulphur could be scraped up
in handfuls. This lake is near Hot
Spring valley, at the base of Mount
Lassen. Between it and the mountain
there are perhaps thousand boiling.
bubbling, hot springs, and in tramping
about these springs the soies of per-
sons shoes become uncomfortable
warm. The North Feather river, at
the base of Lassen, in its trickling
SHOWS and springs, and in clear, cold
and beautiful stream but few feet
wide, flows through this community
Of hot springs.
Some Of these springs bubble up
boiling water within a span Of the
river. Standing in the midst of these
springs peculiar sensation is expe-
rienced. at thousand places the
earth emits vapor of smoke, while
under the surface there is a jarring,
roaring noise as if hundreds of steam
engines were in operation, and the
SFsrth nroduces a feeling Of uncertain
ty. A short distance south or sh~- Dell
ing lake and near Willow lake, which
is beautiful, cold and clear, there are
several geysers that shoot up streams

diameter and eighteen to twenty feet
high. That is a grand and rugged
country about Mt. Lassen, presenting
every variety of natural beauty and
affording unlimited fields Of study to
the geologist. If it is desired to look
into the crater Of an extinct volcano, a
trip to the summit Of Lassen win graz
ify the wish.
The high Sierras of Northern Cali
fornia are little known except to pros
pectors and trappers Of past age, ,and
their wonders are yet to be described.
