A GREAT eLoWHOLE.
The Singular Rock Formation on tho Aus
tralinn Const.

tralinn Coast.
Ono of tho most pleasant as well as
famous tourist resorts i'll New South
Wales is situated on the coast some 70
miles south Of Sydney. The center of
this district is Kama, picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by rich
agricultural country, and which has
been built upon an old igncous flow of
basalt that has soliditicd and crystal
liked into huge columns of what Is Si6p5-
ularly called 'blucstonc. This forma-
ton is seen to perfection OH the west
coast of Scotland and north of Ireland
ut st. Fingal's cave and other places,
and those who arc acquainted with the
rugged appearance of the coast in these
places can form Il good idea of the ap-
pearancc of tho New South Wales coast
at this point. Kama, unlike other tour
list resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed
i'll either fair or stormy weather, and
those who visit the town when Il good
gale is blowing have an opportunity of
witnessing sight the like of which
docs not exist elsewhere Oh our globe.
The famous "Blowholo" hero situated,
III the middle Of Il rocky hcadland run
nlnS out INTO the sea- forms Il truly Won
drous sight. With each successive break
CT the ocean spray is sent shooting up
into tho air sometimes rs high as from
800 to 400 feet, descending in Il drench-
ing shower and accompanied by Il rum
bling noise as of distant thunder, which
can be heard for many miles around.
This "Blowholc" is u singular nat
ural phenomenon, and consists of PEI
pendicnlar hole, nearly circular, with Il
diameter of about ten yards across, .,nd
has the appearance of being the crater
OF IN extinct volcano. This is connected
with tho ocean ny cave about 100 yards
III length, the soaward opening of which
Is Ill all respects similar to ST Fingal's
cave on the west coast Of Scotland, the
same perpendicular basaltic columns
forming the side walls of each. Into
this cavo towering waves rush during
stormy weather, and rs the cave extends
some distance farther into the rock than
the "Blowholc," OH tho entrance of
each wave this cavity becomes full Of
compressed mir, which, when the tension
becomes too great, blows the water with
stupendous force up to the perpcndicu-
lar opening. Photographic Journal.

London and Philadelphia Alike In Thi,
Respect.
In her article on Tho Myth of tho
400" i'll Cosmopolitan, Mrs Burton
Harrison tolls of an American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated III II big chair by tho window en-
gagged III some sort of necdlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-
spects, as it was her day ut home, and
then bowed himself out. Three years
later the American was again in Lon
don, and again he called upon the lady.
1t was her day at home, and there size
sat Ill tho same chair by the Same win
dow with the same neodlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, more re-
markable still, tho same young man
called and made tho same remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Har-
rlson tells this anecdote to show how
unchanged things are in England and
now you are pretty sure to find people
just about as you left them. The illus
tratlon is good one, but can match
1t with better ono over here.
L have the pleasure of knowing q
family i'll Philadelphia who have lived
III the same house for 40 years. AS the
children Of this family grew ND they
developed musical talent from four or
hVe generations Of men learned in the
law as well as skilled with tho bow.
Every Sunday between 10 and o'clock
1t was the custom of tho father and the
sons to play classic music, the father be-
ing flrst violin, one son viola, ono seq
ond vlolln, tho other yioloncello. They
played well, and us ] lived nearer Phil
adelphla in those days than l do today
l often dropped i'll at these rehearsals,
as they called them.
Five years ago was in Philadelphia
ON Sunday. 1 had not seen my old
friends i'll 10 years, but was sure they
were living at the old place walked
around to tho house, and as I mounted
the marble steps heard sounds of mu-
SIC. Gqpld it be possible that 're-
hearsal" was going on? Yes, sure
enough. There sat tho father; his hair
snow white, with his violin tucked un-
der his chin, and tho three "boys"-
fathers themselvos-all playing away as
they had been doing since they were
children. To be sure, they were married
men and did not 1.-Two at home, but they
met every Sunday morning at their ia
TIERS for the usual music. EXPECT to
run on to Philadelphia again before
long, and, though it has been Mt least
five years since was at my old friends
house, expect TO hear the music on
Sunday morning, for shall time my
