thusiastic over the accommodations
afforded by the Volcano House and
the general improvement in Transport
tatlon arrangements. The volcano is
reported to be in fairly active con-
dition, and is gradually rising to it's
old level of last March. 1t is esti-
mated that the lake is now within
four or five hundred feet of the top,
and is perhaps a quarter of a mile in
diameter at its widest point. Liquid
lava and cakes of half-frozen crust
are thrown, in the centre of the lake,
to height of twenty or thirty feet.
If the lake continues to rise at it's
present rate, there will be an over
flow in about seven or eight months.

THE PICTURE OF A LIVING SOUL.

SSOA-'
The captain came to himself with
a start. He was preparing to leave
the works, his mind full OF the won
ders he had been contemplating,
when he suddenly thought Of the
other hemisphere. As the thought
came to him, slight nervous tremor
pervaded his body. Why had he not
thought before of examining the
other half of the aerolith? But then
he had been 80 absorbed in the
strange diagram that everything else
had been driven from mind.
But now he turned toward the
other half of the sphere. He started
to see it surrounded by a delicate
glow-a faint visible emanation like
attenuated phosphoresence. He look
ed in silent wonder, and strange
feeling gradually came over him; a
feeling of awe, terror-a feeling that
he was standing in the presence of
the unknown and unknowable. He
wanted to fly.
But he felt that he must not go
without gazing at the strange sight.
He drew near, slowly, as one i'm
PEELED seemingly by an unseen force,
His heart almost stopped beating.
Nearer and nearer he drew to the
pale glow, the like of which he had
never seen. It was SO tremulous, SO
subtle, so soft and, above all, so mys-
ferrous. The face of the half globe
was radiant; he looked, and yet it
seemed as if he was looking at
nothing-as if nothing interviewed
between his eyes and the uttermost
part of the universe but a pale, faint,
indescribable luminosity.
Nearer, yet nearer he approached
dreading; fearful, yet impelled for
ward. He was like one entranced by
a spell.
Suddenly from out of the abyss
of the disc there flashed something
on his mortal vision, and, clasplne
his face in his hands, he uttered q
cry and sank to the floor as one
striken with death. = * = y x
THE END.

He noticed nothing else that would
not have been on any chart of the
solar system, except something
which will now be mentioned.
Mars and Jupiter appeared to be
connected by two faint parallel
lines; and extending from Mars
nearly to the earth he saw a similar
line; at the end of which was the
representation of small spherical
body.
By this time the captain was in a
state Of intense excitement; his
frame quivered and his eye gl1st-
ened; he saw before him memento
from another world-a message from
the realms Of space.
ut Is plain" he unused; "the in
habitants of Mars have advanced in
knowledge far beyond the dwellers
OF earth. They have discovered how
to bridge the abyss of space. They
desired to send a message to this
planet. After they found means to
project it here, the next thing was
the message itself. How should it
be written? They could not send
any form of writing, for it's meaning
would be unknown to us. They
could not make pictures Of scenes on
Mars, for they know that it is quite
possible that there is nothing on
earth that would correspond with
them. Even the form of sentient
beings on Mars may differ from us.
If they were wise enough to project
this message, they were wise enough
to know that there was one thing to
picture. They reasoned thus: If
intelligent beings inhabit that
planet, they must know something
about the structure and form of the
solar system; all intelligent beings
in this system must be acquainted
with it's shape, etc.
$50 the people Of Mars drew a
picture of the sun and the circling
planets. These lines from Mars to
Jupiter indicate I suppose, that
there is communication between
these planets. This line extending
from Mars toward the earth means
that an attempt is made to COM
municate with this planet. They
say as plainly as possible:
To Earthly Beings: Know We by this
message made and sealed in Mars,
wherein dwelleth intelligent beings of
power and will, that we of Mars have
desired to speak with you concerning all
that may be known to you and US.
Know ye that we have had knowledge
OF those of the great planet Jupiter, who
also comprehend and understand the
hidden things of matter; know We that
we desire to see your counsels: 80 we
send this our sign and message, and
await tine future.
Il wonder if they know their mes
sage has been received; I wonder if
they will look for a reply; I wonder
=" and the captain began to muse
on the possibilities and PROBABLE
ties Of the case until, coming to him
self, he found it was dark.

An Incident of tho Outrage,

Nany'of my readers are of the opinion
that the Chinaman is coward, an incident
connected with the above affair, related by
correspondent of the time, who was a
witness, may effect change in that opinion.
At sunrise of the second day Of the lombard
ment, after "a consecutive hours of firing,
and all the higher buildings adjacent were
seen to be knocked into ruins, there ap-
peared opposite one of the French gun
boats little low dwelling which had not
been injured. While it was being observed,
door was opened, and one of the barbar-
ians came out. He stood for a few moments,
looking up and around unconceYnedly, as if
inspecting the weather and estimating the
PROSPECTS Of the day, and then returned and
shut the door. "Well, there is impudence-
the internal heatheni Who ever saw the
ike?" calculated the beholders on the
gunboat. Presently the door again opened,
and the Chinaman emerged for the
second time, but now with . wash
ing-bowl in his hand and a napkin on his
arm. Placing the basin upon a heap Of
brick debris, he deliberately proceeded with
his morning ablutions. Having washed and
wiped his face, and then, in accordance with
the Chinese habit, wiped out his bowl, he
cody returned with it to his domicile. The
inofensive act was Immediately interpreted
as an insult, and the guns were at once Or
dered to be brought to bear upon the little
dwelling, which was blown to atoms in a
twinkling and the wounded honor of the
high-minded Europeans was duly avenged.

Description OF the Ceremony and the -Rich
and Dazzling Presents.
We now returned to the lower hall, ssys
the Qsass, where q chair was placed for the
bride. Attendants filed in, carrying velvet
wrappers embroidered in gold, each con-
tanning cashmere shawl One by one they
were handed to the brides nurse, and in a
loud voice she proclaimed the donor. She
spread the shawls on the ground before the
BRIDES chair. About 220 were thus laid
out, and then, on q silver tray, were laid
the presents of jewelry. One was a brooch
in the form Of a peacock, the body one huge
pearl, and the tail quivering with diamonds.
The bridegroom's gift was gold belt, the
clasp enriched with precious stones.
Loud cries announced the arrival of the
bride, and, proceeded by eunuchs carrying
huge candelabra blazing with candles, and
singing girls with tambourines, she slowly
descended the stairs. Her dress and train
seemed glittering mass of white satin and
gold. Diamonds glittered on her oorsage,
but from her head hung on. each side q veil
with long gold fringe. The only present
she glanced at was the diamond spray for
the hair, presented by her highness the
Vicereine. As she departed the ladies
present threw about little gold and silver
coins, which were eagerly picked up by the
attendants, and we followed to see the bride
again enthroned in her state chair.

Speed On the Sea.

The very remarkable performance Of the
Norwood, the small steam launch, which
beat the record to Sandy Hook few days
ago, has produced great sensation, and in
duced the belief that we are on the eve of
another great development in ocean travel.
Mr.. Mosher, to the efficiency of whose
boilers, the speed of the Norwood is largely
owing, is now actually engaged in building
a yacht which will be guaranteed to make
over 80 knots an hour, and he is confident
of constructing boat before long, that will
make 35 knots. His idea is to carry no
freight at all and only limited amount
of mail, sacrificing everything to speed
As the boat would be only 500 feet
long, the number of passengers would be
limited, and they would have to pay extra
rates for the privilege of being swooped
across the ocean in less than four days.
Whether this marvellous speed will be at
tanned in our time remains to be proved,
the probability being that 1t will, but in
the meantime the record of Atlantic travel
is being steadily lowered, and large pas
senger steamer is now being built in Eng
land to cross in less than five and q half
days. She is designed with special view
to secure expeditions travel for visitors
from Europe to the Worlds Fair, and will
be in good working order before 1893

Ship Propulsion and Telephony.

Oberlin Smith. in recent lecture, has
propounded the idea that the ships Of the
future will probably be driven by electric
ity by means of simple rotating ar1naturs
fixed directly on the shaft of the screw it
self The source of the electric current for
driving the motors of these prospective
three or four-day Atlantic liners. Mr.. Smith
considers, would probably be storage batte-
ries placed in the extreme bottom and
along the whole length of the hold, where
they viii serve as excellent ballast, or else
the current will be generated by some di-
rect process from coal or other fuel, either
burned or otherwise chemically disorgan-
lied during the passage.
Mr.. Smiths idea of the telephone Of the
future is that it will be as good a voice
transnitter by ocean as by land. It must
be so good that no sound can be heard bus
the voice of the individual who happens to
be using 1t, and so cheap that 1t can be In
every house having any pretentions to af-
fording the ordinary decencies of life. The
exchange system should be such that any
user can at once put himself in communica-
tion with any desired correspondent in any
part of the civilized world. According to
our present ideas, this view is somewhat op-
timistic, but, as Mr.. Smith says, stranger
things have happened, and there is no
knowing what brilliant results may be
achieved by following out the general prin-
ciple of running different kinds Of phases
of currents through the same wire at the
same time. On this principle hangs the in
vention Of quadruple1 telegraphy. 1t ena-
bles Us to send an induced message in
train-telegrsphy over wire through which
ordinary messages are passing at the same
time. Mr.. Smiths ideas may be 50 ad.
vanced as to appear extreme, but they CON-
tain-tood for earnest thought.

Electric LIGHT As a Nuisanoe.

All is not gold that glitters, and-many
and wide-spreading as are the benefits con-
ferred on mankind by the electric light 10
appears that there are conditions under
which its use is fraught with grievous In
convenience and distress. This has been
shown by the institution of q recent suit
against an electric light company by q
householder. Two arc lights Of the com.
pany threw their bright beams all through
the night over the show windows of store
on the ground floor of the house. These
lamps, however, also filed with q flood Of
light the rooms of the fiat above in whioh
the suitor resided, much to his disgust, as ne
prefers the light only when he is prepared
to pay for it Beyond this, it was claimed
that the servants were afraid to clean the
windows lest the electric currentmight kill
them or set fire to the property. A third
nuisance consisted in the myriad Of moths,
bugs and other insects which the intense
light attracted. The suitor claimed that he
had suffered tortures during the hot weatherj
if the windows were left open to admit the
cool evening air, clouds of insects, drawn by
the bright light, swooped into the room. II
the windows were closed and the blinds
were pulled down to keep out the light and
the moths, the room became-hot and salmoss
intolerable.

some respects the country is less accessible

particular. The details of her daring trip

GENIUS AND FASHION.

Four Hundred From a Common Charge,

a "ch-huOWH AutHOroSb DeI0n01 the
Four Hundred From a Common Charge.
1t is fact, says young and well-known
authoress, that much of the best talent in
every direction with which the world has
been made familiar in the last 10 or 15
years has come from the fashionable world.
Now you wouldn't believe that ordinarily.
1t is true, nevertheless, that the people who
have all been called professional are not q
little jealous of the great display that
hitherto merely fashionable people have
made in many lines within the last decade.
Why, just think of It'll Only quarter of
century ago society" was very fortunate if
it could produce a single genius, or even q
few ordinary capables.
: We'll, now you can't 60 into drawing
room without encountering very clever ar.
lists, extremely able musicians, more than
ordinarily skillful poets, and q few men
and women who have distinguished them
selves, so to speak, as all-round general in

their lights under the bushels of amateur"
In nearly every art, science and trade there
are at least few members of the so-called
-Four Hundred who are very close to that
place where somebody said there was always
room. The Upper Ten Thousand are no
longer the lazy, shiftless, cynical, ease-lov-
ing, good-for-nothing set that they once un-
doubtedly were
