A NEBR ASIA FGFAK OF NATURE
A party of bicyciels who were riding
about four miles south of Ponca, Neb.,
last week, found assure in the b!uiis
from which blast of hot air is issuing
with sufficient force to carry twigs ana
bits of paper distance of several feet,
The air is said 10 be of tempera-
ture sufficient to keep investigators at
respectful distance. The crater OF an
extinct volcano about twelve miles
from Ponca was noted in the account
of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and
the site has been frequently visited
since. The river in the neighborhood
has been eating into the bank and de-
stroyine the roads and it is thought
that the water may have reached a de
posite of limestone and produced the
heat. The crater has now almost dis
appeared, but was undoubtedly IN
tate of great activity in early days,
and deposits of lava and stone thrown
cut are found about it in considerable
quantities. The new freak of nature
is situated in the bluffs, just above the
river, and the party which discovered
il were at a loss to understand the
noise made by the escaping air until
one of them felt the breath Of the bis
tcring wind. There was no peculiarly
of odor, and no foreign substance has
been thrown out, but there is no doubt
about the existence of some disturb
ance under ground which is sending to
the surface continuous current OF in
tensely heated air.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

The publication OF 1.-THE Life and Works of
John Ruskin," by W. G. C0llingwOOd, seems Pc
culiary timely in view OF his recent appoint

the honor In his characteristics lie
Scotchman, and, unconsciOusly or other
wise, he exhibited through life scotch hered-
ity. He was born In the same year as Queen
with artists and literary men prominent at the
time. He began his literary and artistic career
at an early age. He wrote stories at
years. and his biographer gives extracts
from these precocious productions. Rus
kin was graduated at Oxford in 1912 His
first work which attracted wide attention
from scholars was his Modern Painters"
which exhibited both his powers as a critic.
and the excellence of his descriptive style His
first volume of Modern Painters" published in
1913. gave him wide fame among literary and
artistic people. and he was lionized enough TO
turn the head or stronger man. From that
time he has been a prolific writer. The story OF
his life and works is we'll told in these two large
and handsome volumes. The biographer notes
Ruskin as still living, In 1892, lin his quiet re

ward world DO not sound very loudly. He has
