The largest volcano is Kilauea, one
of the craters of the mountain Mauna
Loa, in the Sandwich islands. The
mountain rises IA, 100 feet above the
sea. but the Kilauea crater is only
about 1900 feet above high tide. The
crater is a lake of boiling lava, over
16. 600 feet long and nearly {, 900 wide.
The outbreaks of volcanic fury are not
frequent, but the mass of molten lava
continually bubbles and boils. while
small explosions send Jets of steam and
fire into the air. The crater's sides
have a gradual slope, and curious per
sons often descend to a point as close
as the heat viii permit. The crater
has been active from a time which
antedates the local traditions of the
islanders, and always in about the
same condition. Louis Globe-Dem-

Model Locomotive Enrines.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
has just placed in service on its
Chicago Division three new pas
senger engines, built at the Bald
win Locomotive Works, after new
designs furnished by the Gen1 Sup
erintendent Of Motive Power Of the
B. & o. Company. The engines
weigh 1l3s 600 pounds, have driving
wheels six feet six inches in diane
ter, cylinders 70 by "a inches, and
arc without doubt the finest pas
senger locomotives runnfne into the
City Of Chicago to-day. CompdfI.
ions of these new engines have de-
veloped wonderful power and speed
IN hauling the famous Royal Blue
Line trains, which runs between
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington, over the Phila-
delphia Division Of the B. & o. Rail-
road. The B. & o. has added over
forty new high class engines to its
motive power equipment within the
last sixty days, and others are un-
der construction. While constantly
adding engines of approved design
and highest grade to its motive
power, and passenger coaches of
Pullman standard 10 its rolling stock,
the B. & o. is also expending large
amounts for additional second and
third tracks and sidings, and i'm
proved facilities at terminal points.
By the time the Worlds Fair is
opened for the reception Of visitors
the b & @. will be well equipped 10
handle, expeditiously, the large
volume of passenger traffic which
will naturally seek this picturesque
route from the Atlantic sea board to
Chicago.

reduction in the price since Feb
ruary, when the rate was so cents
per cut A number Of the en-
ployees quit work, and the owner
of the Mills told them that compe-
tItion was 50 great that he could not
afford to pay over 70 cents. At the
rate Of IS cents per cut the wages Of
the men averaged only about s35
per month, and they have refused
to work for less. We were told
that the effect of the Mckinley bill
would be to raise wages. It Ger
