We had scarcely completed our pre-

which threatened to carry away the
whole establishment, but the wind
subsidized as suddenly as 1t had risen.
Meanwhile, however, another cause
for alarm presented itself.
A great smell OF indiarubber began
to declare itself, and on putting my
hand to the floor on the side nearest
the crater I found that IL was ON the
point of melting. On placing maxi,

until it indicated Ito degrees Fahren-

As my feet did not feel at all warm

IL was 72.5 degrees. These tempera.

Outside the tent the air was intensely

Washington. ut is not generally
known that her engagement ring was
NOT the valuable diamond which Mr..
Cleveland presented to her upon her re-
turn from Europe a few days before
her marriage. Before her departure
with her mother upon the European
tourney the President-elect visited
New York for the purpose of saying
farewell to his fiancee. 1t was then
decided to keep the engagement from
the public until her return, when
almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement would come the marriage.
It was Mrs Cleveland's wish that no
regular engagement ring should be
given until that time, as during her
trip abroad she preferred to wear
seal ring which had belonged to her
father, and upon his death had been
given to his most intimate friend, Mr..
Cleveland. This plan was according y
carried out and until her return to
New York the Presidents wife had
never worn a diamond ring. The first
one she possessed set with this stone

way NAV be called the land of the mid
n;ght sun. During this period Of con-
tInnous daylight the stars are never seen,
the moon appears pale and sheds no

giving lust time enough for the wild
sowers to grow, to bloom and to fade
away, and barely time for the husband
man to collect his harvest, which, how
ever, is sometimes nipped by summer
frost.
A few weeks after the midnight sun
has passed the hours of sunshine shorten
ranidly, and by the middle of August
the air becomes chilly and the nights
colder, although during the day the sun
ia warm. Then the grass turns yellow,
the leaves change their color wither and
fall: the swallows and other migrating
birds Ay toward the south; twilight
comes once more; the stars, one by one,
make their appearance, shining brightly
in the pale blue sky; the moon shows
itself again as the queen of the night and
lights and cheers the long and dark days
