REMARKABLE ISLAND.
Fresh Water IncIosed by 8 Rim of Land
 in the Pacific.

III the Paclnc.
 4 rim of land inclosing a fresh-water lake in the middle of the Pacific ocean is B novelty in the way of islands, says Lieut. Summerville, of the British navy There may not be more than oue such in the great ocean, and, at any rate, this type of island is extremely rare. This small island is Niuafou, which is quite apart from other ocean islands. It lies midway between the Fiji and the Sac moan groups, and is under the govern ment of the Tonga group, though it IS 200 miles from those islands.
 Some time or other volcanic vent opened at the bottom of the ocean and the lava that poured out of it piled higher and higher until it finally over topped the sea. A great volcanic noun tain had been formed, and the part of it that came into view above the waste of waters was, of course, an island. In the course of time this volcano was the scene of one of those tremendous eX- plosions that sometimes tear mountains to pieces. It was such a cataclysm that blew off the upper 5000 feet of Kra- katoa some years ago. The explosion at Niuafou had remarkable result. The interior of the crater was blown out to considerable depth, leaving only mar row rim, in this case nearly perfect ring, around the deep central cavity. This is the island of to-day.
 A thousand Tongans live in the five villages that lie along the outer slope of that crater wall. The drainage from the inner slope partly filled the cavity, forming lake whose waters, though slightly alkaline, are notable. From the top of the crater rim one looks down upon the peaceful lake within, with it's three little islands and the curiously shaped peninsula jutting out into it; and outside the rim is the ever-restless ocean.
 This crater wall is Q mass of green, except at Lava stream. where a recent flew of lava has not yet received its coat ing of verdure. Garden after garden, filled with tropical plants, meet the view, and the villages, with the white houses of the traders and missionaries and the native churches, make a very pleasing impression from the sea. This is bit of the world where the shortest path that can be made from one village to another is along the arc of a circle. The island is about three and half by three miles in diameter, and on an aver age it rises about $50 feet above the surf that constantly dashes against the foot of the crater wall. The northern part of it is only q quarter to a half mile in width. They have horses on this crater rim, and if the natives desired to emu late Barnam they might at least boast of the biggest circus ring in existence.
 The only place where one may descend to the almost circular lake is on the north shore, the crater wall falling al most perpendieular1Y to the lake at every other point. The surface of the lake is about 95 feet above sea level. The lake is supposed to be very deep, and the natives tell of sounding of 600 feet with no bottom. Crater lakes are often very deep. The deepest lake in North America is Crater lake, in Oregon, where the sounding line shows maximum depth of 2,000 feet.-Geographical Jour nal

PARTS HER HAIR AT THE SIDE.
This Is 8 Severe Style Started by the Man
 nish Girl.

nish Girl.
 Fluffy bangs, and even the coquettish waves that so graciously conceal the imperfections of an ugly forehead, are, as well as the girl that wears them, out of date. The mannish girl is at the height of fashion, and she is astonish- ing thousands of her primer sisters by parting her hair at the side.
 Absolute severity and simplicity are the motto of the new hair-dressing Twist or coil or braid or do whatever you will with your back hair. so long as the result is modest and inconspicuoHs, but under no circumstances must you venture to impart a feminine curl 10 the front locks.
 Landy Helen Stewart has set the fashion over in England, and her titled friends who are trying to look as well as Lady Helen does are renouncing all connection with the stereotyped frizzes that serve as the badge of English loy- atty. American women are beginning to take up the fad. and the tailor-made girl of the coming summer promises to be model of congruity, with the addi- tion of her mannish little hats and her hair newly parted at the side.
 The new fashion may not be positive ly becoming to those who are afflicted with straight locks, but when the hair has a natural wave the effect is rather graceful. The girl who knows the se- cret of looking we'll rises superior to the most exacting fashion and even transforms purely mannish coiffure so as to call forth admiration.-Ch Chicago Tribune

Gates Mr.. Iselin and all connected with the

Herald says:
''The evidence ia so Overwhelmingly con-
elusive that il renders superfiuous the report
one verdict-that the charges are utterly and
totally false"

testimony and addresses by counsel Asquith
and Choats. In the course OF the testimony
Lord Dunraven claimed that the Defender

poving my charge in my opinion, nothing
would have bsen satisfactory except what
maintain, requested Mr.. Fish TO say to the
committee that the vessel should be taken
charge Of; steps, in fact, taken to see that the
ballast could not possibly be taken out Of her,
and then after they should be remeasnred, IL
possible, that evening. or as soon ss possible,
but taken charge of in the meantime"
Mr.. Fish denied Lord Dunravvn's statement
raven did not request that the vessel be taken
charge of.
The claims Of the committee are not given.
