THE CRATER OF RAINIER

Experiences of . Night on the Summit of
 the Weird Mountain.
 Throw ing off the lifo line. which had become almost an intolerable burden. l scaled the pile of bare rocks and gained the rim of the crater. The great bowl within was deeply filled with snow. but the black circle forming its rim could be distinctly traced. Descending the in ner slope for about 100 feet. found a place where steam was issuing from 8 crevice in the rocks and warned my benumbed fingers. Soon my companions joined me, and we took refuge ill one of the many caverns that the heat of the rocks and of the escaping steam had melted in the lower portion of the snow and ice partially filling the crater In these weird caverns cue may descend far beyond the light of day The W hite vapors drifting silently through the dimly lighted passages assume grotesque shapes and suggest to the imaginative visitor that spirits of the time when Pluto's reign was supreme there make their homes.
 By melting snow in our tin cups over the cracks from which steam W as issu- ing we soon had water enough witt which to prepare tea. In the absence of sugar and cream a little, alcohol from the supply brought fer fuel was added to each cup and proved welcome | stimulant Making ourselves as com fortable as possible under the circum stances. we passed the night ill the cav ern of ice. There were no leGges Ercad enough to lie down on, and We were forced to stand or crouch against the hot rocks all night. The floor of oul cavern sloped steeply and led down te an ugly opening of unknown depth be tween the descending roof of ice aIG the rocks. To guard against accidents the life line V as stretched across the cavern and made fast to crags Thil proved a wise precaution. as we wer, able during the night to walk up ana down with the rope in our hands ana avoid the stiffness and discomfort tha come from remaining long in one posi- tion.

 A writer in Forest and Stream says that Elias BltEk, Cie of the early set- tlors of what is now the great Connells- vile coal region, in western Pennsylva- mia, was amoug the first Americans to burn soft coal. How the thing came about is thus described:
 One night MT. Blank was aroused by a rapping at his door. Opening it, he admitted famous Indian fighter, Lewis WhetzeIl, and companion, Jonathan Gates, commonly known as Long Arms.
 "Friend Lewis," said Blank, "where have thee and our friend Leen and where bound?'
 "I want to get out of here at once," said Whetzell, "and LrLg Arms is of the same opinion This country's be- witched, and Loug Arms and l are nearly scared to t.cath. ,"
 "Frieud Lewis. thee must not tell such stories to me-" said old Elias. ''Thee knows 1 am thy friend and l have saved thee when a price was on thy head. I know thou art a man of courage, and friend Jonathan Gates, whom some call Long Arms, fears nothing on earth, and I'm fearful noth- ing anywhere else, and yet thou tellest me that he and thee are scared even al- most unto death Shame on thee so to declare before thy friend, who loves ye | both as he were thy fatherP'
 "No, no, Elias, said Whetzell, drop ping into the Quaker speech. II tell thee no lie We are scared. Yesterday afternoon we were in hiding about a mile from Dunkard creek, and in the evening we built fire under the bank very carefully, and we got some black rocks to prop up little kettle and put them beside the fire rather than in it, and the black rocks took fire and burned fiercely, with a filthy smoke and 6 bright light, and Long Arms said the | devil would come if we staid, and we grabbed our kettle and poured out the water and made our way here, leaving the black rocks to burn"
 Elias Blank was much interested. He did not tell Whetzell what the black rocks were, but he found out exactly where the men had made their fire. and when they went away he gave them each a new Ezra Engle rife, knife and a tomahawk, with four pounds oi powder and a supply of lead.
 Then he hunted up their camping ground, found the "black rocks" anc opened a coal bank into one of the rivel hills, and this coal bank is still in ex istence in l2 foot vein of coal that ii absolutely free from slate and burnI | like hitch

Mrs Max Muller. in her Letters From Constantinople, gives this record of visit paid to cemetery and the cu rious superstition in regard to burial:
 "The Turkish women are fond of spending whole days sitting on their carpet in the cemeteries. not from any deep affection for the dead. for the Turks care little for the body when once buried The soul. the true being they loved. is safe in paradise, though only from the moment that the body is laid in the ground For thIs reason the flu nerals take place as soon as possible after death. and if you meet a Turkish funeral the procession is hurrying along in what appears to us the most indecorous haste, so that the Hcul may more quickly at tain to it's final bliss A devout Turk passing a coffin will give his aid to the bearers. exhausted by the speed at which they go This aid. if only given for 40 paces. secures the pardon of a heavy crime -
