The Pale White Light of Death.

Those who have admired the phos,

that such creatures emitted the light of
their own accord and that they used it
in Il variety OF way. 1t is now knog
that the light is u disease as deadly to
the infected individuals us cobra poison

A MnnIlerfnI Pit

The wonderful pit of Cresus de Souci,
10 France, is situated in sheet OF recent
basalt on the south side of the Puy de
Montchal. The opening is eighty two
feet in diameter and thirty weight feet
deep; but at that depth hole about ten
feet wide communicates with hollow
seventy feet deep, at the bottom OF which
is a stagnant pool overladen with car
bonic acid, which forb;ds access to the
water surface. The interior is vass
hollow, apparently formed in the basalt
when semi-fuid by an explosion OF VOL
came gas. The temperature fails from
fifty four degrees Fahrenheit in the open
air to thir.y.four degrees near the water.
