A Lake Of Boiling Law.

Mauna Loa, the gigantic Hawaiian
volcano, has two craters or openings,
one Of which, Kilauea, is the largest
active volcanic crater in the world. The
mountain is Ia, 100 feet high, and XII
lauea is situated on the eastern side,
about 4 1000 feet above the level Of the
sea. This marvellous crater is really q
vast lake Of boiling lava which rises and
falls continually by the action of SUBJ
terranean fires. In tossing to and fro
like q troubled sea Of molten metal the
lava is dashed against the cliffs and
hardens there in the form of long, CLASSY
filaments, gigantic knobs, miniature
trees, and in imitation Of grass, leaves,
etc.
Another form Of CLASSY filament to
be found along the shores of this fiery
lake is in the shape Of queer punches
and tufts Of lava made up of an aggre-
CATION of vitreous threads which the ma
tives call ''Pele's hair" Pele being the
goddess to whom the mountain is dedi-
Gated. These CLASSY threads appear to
be caused by the passage of steam
through the molten lava. In SO doing
small PARTICLES in the shape Of bubble
like balloons are thrown into the air,
leaving a tail behind like a comet.
When the scene Of these miniature steam
eruptions is near rock or the shore ali
solid and cool surfaces are found cover
ed with bunches of "Pele's hair" This
hair" was formerly used in mystic
native ceremonies, and of late years
has been gathered in large quantities

Dance after four Physicians had In
enectually Treated the Case.
(From the Niagara Falls Rcricw.)
Being told that the eight-year old daughter
of Mrs. Dore:y, Ontario Avenue, had been
niracalously cured of st. Nitus' dance, we
decided to investigate the case and ascertain
the facts. Accordingly VIC visited her home
when she related the facts as follows;
1T is about two years and a half since
Mabel was stricken with st. Vitus' dance
caused by the weakening effects of la grippe
and rheumatism. Three local physicians
were called in as was also one doctor of con-
siderable reputation from Niagara Falls, NY,
but in the face of the prescriptions of these
physicians and the best of care, Mabel grew
rapidly worse. She could not be left alone
an instant and was as helpless as an infant
as she had no control of her limbs at all. She
could neither walk without assistance nor
take food or drink. At this stage one Of the
attending physicians said, Mrs. Dorcty,
there is no use in my coming here any more.

CHAPTER XIII.

The first day was over, but it seemed
to mo that something more must come;
that what I had gone through could
mean tho life Of n day must surely be
impossible. Was there nothing before
mo but isolation SO complete that no
whisper from the outside world could
reach me-that world which, compared
with the death into which ! was being
absorbed, seemed the only world Of the
living?
Had I actually nothing to look for
but the most repulsive work under the
most repulsive conditions? ! said there
must be surely some change; that wheel
ing mud forever was not the doom Of
any man and could certainly not be
mine.
I looked about my little cell, the still
ness of tho grave without, the utter soli-

which formed my supper was on the

Each day adds some new virtues tc
the long list Of those already credited
to the pneumatic tire. The latest Of
these is that the wheels of bicycle be-
ing epcircled by band of india rubber
and dry air, which is perfect insu-
lator, the rider is completely insulated
from the earth and consequently is i'm
pervious to the attacks Of the electric
fluid.
Any one who suffers from nervousness
during a thunderstorm has now only to
60 into the dining room or the cellar
and seat himself upon the saddle of a
pneumatic tire bicycle to be perfectly
safe from lightning stroke. As the
chances of q man ON a bicycle being
struck by lightning have been carefully
calculated to be about one in a billion,
there will, of course, be some pessi.
mists who will deny that this newly
discovered virtue of the pneumatic tire
amounts to very much. - Pearson Z
