Wasn't Going to BE Scared OF a Volcano
by Mere Eruption.
Advices by the Australian steamship
Miowera give news that an adventurous
young Englishman named Carr, who,
it is quite possible, may be Lieut.. Seton
Karr, the most adventurous mountain
climber and pioneer of the British Geo
graghical society, narrowly escaped de-
structiOn in whirlwind of steam, Gin
ders and stones preceding the deluge
of lava emitted by old Ruapehu, New
Zealands famous volcano.
He had started, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, with two guides and
provisions for ten days exploration of
the five peaks forming the crest of
Ruapehu and fencing its famous crater
lake. He got half way up the noun
tain side, when his progress was great
ly retarded by a fresh fall of snow, a
most unusual thing at this season.
From twenty-eight degrees the mer-
curry rose within four hours to seventy
six degrees, the snow disappeared and
earthquakes added their rumblings in
the heart of the mountains to swell the
mysterious feature of the night. The
guides hourly became more uneasy and
entrcated Carr to break camp and de-
scend before the eruption. which they
anticipated would overwhelm them.
You think the mountain will give
fireworks for our benefit, do you?" was
Carr's comment. This is glorious: we
will not disappoint old Ruapehu of his
audience"
But the guides were not so enthusi-
astic, and finally announced that they
were going whether he would or not.
very good, was Carr's reply, Il will
stay"
Then he paid them their wages for
the portion of the trip only that they
had actually performed. They hastily
retraced their steps, and the very next
day showers of mud, which invariably
precede active eruptions, commenced.
The guides decided that their late
employer must be overwhelmed, and
great was their surprise two days later
to be rejoined by him at the base of
the mountain.
lie was scalded from head to foot;
his left arm was broken, and there were
bruises and cuts on every part of his
body where he had been struck by
stones which rained from the mountain
top.
Hardly had the party reconnected
when the eruption proper commenced,
and for days the sight was a magnifi-
cent though awful one. Ruapehu is
nine thousand odd feet high, and one
of the most rugged and picturesque
mountains in the Southern sea.
After the eruption Carr ascended on
the west side, which had hardly been
affected at all, owing to continued wind
from that quarter, and it has been
found that the famous crater lake had
entirely disappeared, having been lit
orally blown out and replaced by
bubbling field of lava, the depth of
which cannot be estimated

MULCY HAssAN.s TREASURE.

German PLY sicitn's Account Of the
Eoard of the sultan of EIcrococ.
A French journalist has brought up
again the ancient story of the caOr-
nous treasure held by the sultan cf
Morocco. The French ambassador to
Morocco brought back TO Louis XIV. in
1855 the story that the sultan Of that
day. Mulcy-I5saacl. kept at AIeaeiace.

which is supposed by some Authorities
to be about the ordinary ANIMAL rev
cnue of the sultan.
The legend of the treasure was still
in sound health 80 years later. for
Graeber di lIemso, a traveller. affirmed
about 1884 that the sultan's hoard.
called Bit-cl-Mell, was kept at
Mequinez, under the guard of o.O3o
negroes. 1t was believed to consist cf
100000 pieces of money, besides ingots
of gold and silver and precious stones.
The treasure house, according to this
traveller, was an ipclosure of massive
walls, which were exactly repeated
within. In order to reach the treasure
1T was necessary to open five iron gates.
secured with secret locks, of which the
keys were always in the hands of the
sultan or of his favorite 1t was the
custom in earlier times to kill the
guards that accompanied the new
treasure, lest the secrets of the treas
ure house be divulged.
Other travellers have kept the story
alive, and from the manner in which
taxes are levied and public affairs adj
ministered in Morocco, it is generally
believed that the sultan has great
wealth laid up. The latest story of the
treasure comes from DR.. Rohlfs. a Ger
man, at one time physician to the
harem of the present sultan, Mulev
Hassan. DIR. Rohlfs declares that the
treasure of the sultan is greater than
ever. Some have represented that, for
safety, the imperial wealth is kept in
several places, part of it at Fez, part in
the oasis of Tafilet and part at other
points in the empire DIR. Rohlfs de-
clares that the sultan's 1O,OOO,0O Ger
man thalers, or about 7,OOO,O 900, are at
Mequinez, in somber edifice, which
the light of day never penetrates. The
custom of killing the treasure bearers
is not kept up, and the guard is not
1000, but 800, negroes, who keep watch
in living tomb. DIR. Rohlfs has seen
some of the sacks inclosing part of the
treasure

Bees IN the Champagne.

A curious incident occurred at Ascot
recently. While large number of
luncheon parties were enjoying the de-
lights of an open-air repast in the gar
dens behind the grand stand, a great
swarm of bees settled down on the
guests around table in a corner.
They buzzed and buzzed everywhere.
Ladies had bees in their bonnets and
gentlemen found their hats turned into
striking likenesses of Catch EN- alive
obs" Some of the swarm settled on
the cold salmon, and other members of
it tumbled into the champagne cup. In
fact, the bees created the greatest con-
sternation among the ladies and gen.
tlemen in that quarter of the grounds.
They were gradually drawn off the
luncheon party by gentleman to
whom occurred the happy idea of treat
ing them to a little music on a metal
tray under tree. After the tapping
or tinkling on the article had continued
for two or three moments, the queen
bee settled on the branches above to
listen to it, and was at once followed
by all the swarm. 1t was an extraordi-
nary sight to see hundreds of the in
sects hanging like great black and gold
clusters on the tree while the tinkling
continued. 1t ceased with the lunch
con, and the bees did no more harm.

YACHTING GROWING POPULAR.
Sailing Boats Dot the Waters All Along
the Massachusetts Coast


1t was not until after the close of the
war in 1865 that yachting became a
popular pastime in America Great
prosperity prevailed at the north and
the spirit of adventure engendered
among the young men by the excite
ment of the war now sought its outlet
in sports as in business enterprises.
Yachting, says Donahoe's Magazine,
felt the influence of the new state of
things, and the lakes and rivers and
harbors began to show great increase;
in the number of pleasure boats. New
clubs were organized and races ar
ranged in all localities where boats
abounded. Yachting soon became
popular pastime in all the seaports,
large and small Club after club was
organized and private vessels increased
enormously outside of the clubs. In
deed, it is these outside boats that con-
stitute the great body of the yachting
world. The large, famous vessels repre-
sent the extreme development of the
maritime art, and they stand for the
yachting world, as the mounted field

AN OLD-FASHlONeD PLANT.
Great Fun at Night If You Hold a Light.
O. HTo.~r, -

ed N".~n -
One of the vegetable marvels of July
is the fraXinella or dittany. an old
fashioned Towering plant, native in
southern Europe and Asia, and much
cultivated in the gardens of our grand
mothers. The plant has showy flow
ers, white, red and rosy, and an odor
that belongs to the leaves as well as to
the blossoms.
The plant, if visited at night with a
lighted match, is suddenly envelopcd
with blue flames, as is the hand that
bears the match. The flames are harm
less, and are caused bv the combustion
of a volatile oil that is secreted by the
plant. This oil, in the form of vapor,
impregnates the air Immediately about
the plant and is ignited at the ap-
proach of light. The plant blooms
abundantly, and the pyrotechnic dis
play may be repeated night after
night, especially if the condition of the
atmosphere is favorable.
The plant obtains its name of dittany
from the fact that it grows wild upon
Mount Dicte, in the Island of Crete. 1t
is by no means SO well known now as it
once was, since the gay flowers of old
fashioned country gardens have given
place to more aesthetic and less showy
blossoms

A DANGEROUS PLAYHOUSE.
The Children Were Lighting Matches Over
Dynamite Cases.

Among the many adventures that be-
fell Mr.. Jebb in the course of his Rocky
mountain mining experiences was one
connected with dynamite says the
Youths Companion. A line of rooms
had been built for the accommodation
of clerks the storing of dynamite and
so forth. Then the superintendent sent
Tor his wife and family. The children,
numerous and turbulent, were made
free of the place, with the necessary ex-
ception of the dynamite storcroom.
Probably for the reason that this one
room was forbidden to them they were
constantly caught hanging about it, to
be dismissed promptly with a caution.
Finally after it was thought they had
forgotten the subject, Mr.. Jebb was
going home to bed early one morning,
after sitting up all night with rctrac-
tory furnace, when he happened to no
tice that the outer door of room con-
tanning giant powder was ajar.
Thinking of the gross carelessness of
which some one had been guilty, he
went to shut the door. AS he did so,
he glanced inside and, to his horror,
he saw the whole half-dozen children
sitting on the various cases, trying to
see which could make a match burn
longest
There was enough explosive SUBJ
stance in the room to blow up the en-
tire town, and it seemed extremely
probable that that was just what was
going to happen, for it flashed through
Mr.. Jebb's mind in second that if he
startled the children they would drop
their matches and run, when the re-
suit would be pretty certain.
They were too busy to have caught
sight of him. He moved little away
from the door and then called to them
softly. Probably his voice was some
what shaken by what the novelists call
conflicting emotions" for at first the
the second or third call they came gin
gerly out of the room, fearful lest retri
button for their disobedience might be
about to befall them.
The moment the last child-carrying
a still-burning match-crossed the
threshold Mr.. Jebb rushed into the
storeroom just in time to extinguish
smoldering match-head ON the floor
and, after a searching look around to
see that all was safe, he went out
again and locked the door with a gasp
of relief.
Then he marched the children off
to their father, with whom, to Judge
from the sounds, they spent an exciting
half-hour.
