Tho hot springs in Reykjadal, though
not the most magnificent, are perhaps
the most curious among the numerous
phenomena of this sort in Iceland. On
entering the valley you see columns OF
vapor ascending from different parts of
it.. There are a number Of apertures
in a sort OF platform Of rock. The
water is 212 Fahrenheit, and it rises
two or three feet into the air. A river
flows through the valley, in the midst
of which a jet of boiling water issues
with violence from a rock raised but a
few feet above the ice cold water of the
river.
Not far from this is the grotto or
cave of Surt, which is so large that no
m has penetrated TO its inner end

1t was Gen. Corse's bravery which led
to the origin Of Sankey's famous hymn,
Hold the Fort He was on Sher-
mans staff, was one of his ~flre-eaters in
daring and won an affection from old
Tecumseh that lasted till death. You,
perhaps, have heard the story of his de
fence of Allatoona Pass how with a
mere handful of men he held the place
most stubbornly against tremendous
odds how he persisted, even after every
commanding officer was wounded and
he himself thrown senseless fora al hour
by "A rifle bullet in the face; how the
signal finally waved from Sherman to
hold the fort, " and how the plucky
Corse replied in language more EN-
phatic than religious that he would do
so, and how he lived up 10 his word.
They could not put the soldiers Ian
guage into the hymn, but they EN-
bodied his sentiments there. 1t is, by
the way, somewhat of a coincidence
that the signal officer who waved that
historical message from Corse to Sher-
man passed away a few days before the

X. j. HINTON, chief Of the underground
water-how Investigation, in an interview
in Omaha, saws: II will give it as my
personal opinion, which must not be mis-
taken for an official utterance, that we
shall ultimately demonstrate that the
average farmer on the great plains will
find water enough on every I6O-acre tract
TO urirnte from twenty-five to forty acres,
and thus secure himself against loss by
drouth or hot winds. He will find water
easily accessible right beneath his feet,
and capable Of distribution by very simple
means. Then will come the day of small
and prosperous farms. If this hope is
not realized we shall at least accomplish
results that will be vastly beneficial We
are trying to bridge over the gap between
the surface water and the lands that can
no be irrigated BY that system.

1t is not surprising that so uncanny
looking a creature rs the spider should
have various attributes of "A more or
less surprising nature awarded to it. In
rural districts it is no very uncommon
occurrence to find that there is n firm
belief in the curative powers Of spiders
in cases Of ague. Eleazar AIbin says
that he has been instrumental in cur
ing several children of this complaint
by hanging a large spider, confined in
a box, about their necks, reaching to
the pit Of the stomach, without giving
any internal remedies. ~ - Cornhill

Sew York's Literary and Artistic Clubs.
The Century is assisted by other
clubs in looking after the literary and
artistic needs Of New York. Among
these may be mentioned the Lotus, the
Players, the Fellowcraft, the Authors
and the Aldine. The Lotus has long
been familiar to the public, and a great
deal has been said of the brilliant gift
which Mr.. Booth has made to New
York in the handsome house of the
Players in Gramercy park. The com.
plant is indeed made that in these two
clubs the non-professional element
tends to strengthen itself at the ex.
pense Of the professional.
The complaint is not an unusual one;
it has been made with regard to the
Garrick in London. The Fellowcraft
is composed of writers and artists con
nected with the press. The Authors
club is, as its name indicates, made up
of men who have written books 1t
has rooms, but no club house. The
Aldine, founded by publishers and art
lists, has within two years taken posses
sion of a house in Lafayette place. E.
