CHAPTER vi.

IL the morning light improved Alma
Crosmont, il did more for Lady KildOnanJ
II transformed her. Every brilliant tint
of her skin, the silvery sheen on her yel-
low hair, the luster of her blue eyes, and
of the even teeth which she showed every
other minute in light-hearted laughter,
gained new and more dazzling radiance
In the brightness Of the sun. She was
kneelina on the floor, a%lng with two OK
the dogs like a merry child; and as she
snrans up on the entrance Of the mistress
of the house, the retriever bounded and
placed his fore paws against her waist In
the belief that her quick movement was
but a ruse of the game. She was dressed
as plainly as a man, in tailor made
gown of dark brown cloth. hat TO match,
with single straight feather, and an
outer garment reaching almost to her
feet. cut like mans overcoat, and lined
with dark sable. The coat was unbut-
toned and thrown open. displaying the
curves Of a tall. slight figure in a perfect
ly fitting dress. Her right hand, from
which she had drawn the glove while play
ing with the dogs. WAS white and slim: the
left was covered By dogskin driving
glove.
"Down. down, down. Lancer!' she saih,
A. she came forward, brimming over with
smiles. "Oh, Mrs. Crosmont. where do
ron get these heart breaking dresses
fromf'' she cried, her tone suddenly
changing to mock plaIntiveness as she
shook hands with Alma, and surveyed the
ruby colored morning gown that lady wore
with hearty admiration. You always
look like n picture: but it's really too hard
TO bear ones husband always saying,
why don't you dress like Mrs. Crosmontr
He insists that you make your frocks
yourself That's what n man always
thinks if one isn't covered with little bits
of fringe and buttons and bows-isn't il.

And she turned to shake hands with
Uncle Hugh. who was smiling upon her
with the indulgent manner which was the
farthest departure from absolute adora-
tion that any man had the heart to show
20 her.
II don't think you make your own
frocks.' he said shaking his head. ~

She kissed him merrily on the forehead,
and as she did so she appeared to notice
for the first time the presence Of fourth
person. Alma began to introduce the
young doctor, but Lady Kildonnn held out
her hand, and looked at him with arch de-

An Extraordiuary Eruption.

A very singular phenomenon occur
red last winter in Iceland. Along the
seacoast, near the center of the south
ern shore of the island, there Is a broad
level region called the Skeidara Sands,
bordered by glaciers descending from
the mountains. A postman crossing the
sands was startled by a long, groaning
sound Issuing from the glacier two
miles away. Then he saw masses of
ice shooting into the air, followed by a
flood of water and ice pouring across
the sands. Being on horseback he
quickly got out of the reach Of dan
ger. After six days, on again visit
ing the spot, he found the sands cover
ed with belt of ice-waves" reach
ing from the glacier to the sea, dis
tance of twenty-five miles. The precise
cause of the eruption, which apparent
ly took place underneath the glacier, is
not known. but according to n report
in Nature, it is believed to have some
connection with the great earthquakes
hat shook Iceland last summer.

One would hardly look for a new spe-
lies Of rabbit high up on the sides of a
great volcanic mountain. Yet DIR. O.
II. Merriam has recently described just
such an animal. which was discovered
at an elevation of 10000 feet. on the
flank of Popocatepetl, the mountain
that smokes" near the City of Mexico
1t is remarkably small, does not jump
like an ordinary rabbit but runs on all
fours, possesses no tail, has short ears
and lives on the grass covering tho
slopes of the mountain below the re

Curion. Village o of Ants.

Mr.. George NJ. Brook describes, in
Popular Science News, q singular com
munity of small brown ants observed
by him inhabitating little dome shaped
structures, made of wood fibre, and
stuck on the panels of fence and tho
neighboring shoots of Virginia creep
er. These shelters, which presented
the appearance of little village, were
from n quarter of m inch to an inch
In diameter, and about an eighth of IN
inch high. On breaking them open
Mr. Brook found them occupied by
ants. During n shower, he says, the
little houses We're quite full of ants.
He saw the Industrious creatures at
work building and repairing their sin
gular shelters. The Virginia creeper
was Inhabited by many aphides, or
plant lice, which, 1t is we'll known,
furnish n secretion that ants are very
fond of, and which is sometimes liken-
ed to the milk of cows. When, with
the growth Of the creeper. the location
In which the aphides abounded was
changed, the ants abandoned their orig
inal huts and constructed new ones
nearer to their "herd Of cows" The
permanent home Of the ants was In .
ollie of boards several yards away.

Effect of Electricity on Seeds.

Experiments recently made ut the
Massachusetts Agricultural College
tend to prove that electricity e1erts an
apprcciable influence on the germina-
tion of seeds. When q current Of the
proper strength Is applied 1t hastens
the termination and early growth of
the sprouts, but its influence diminish.
es Ss the plant increases in size. Seeds
subjected TO e single application Of
electricity show the effect for only a
few hours, but il the current Is np-
piled hourly II acts constantly, except
that as the plants mature the beneficial
.ffect Is gradually lost.

master at length concluded to leave him
to himself, and went ON alone.
Now It chanced that by reason Of 4
little elevation near this point ON the
river-front, the portion Of levee sur.

est On the whole plantation. In view
Of this fact Phillips had selected it a.
a point Of observation from which to
get n bird's-eye view Of the place.
As he began to climb the embank
ment for this purpose, he was startled
to hear dog barking close behind him,
and to feel Bruno tugging at his heels.
Fearing the faithful animal had gone
mad. Mr.. Phillips tried to kick himof.
hoping to mount the levee and so es,

haunches. Bruno grasped the collar OF

only too well, and looked up to see the
Ievee and the solid earth upon which
he had but q moment before beer

Mr.. Phillips feelings may be bette,

instincts had warned him Of approach
ing danger, had fought to save hin
from n watery grave.

 Their Singular History.


 John Adams of Somerset, Ky, who was bitten by mad dog several days ago, was taken to Stanford to submit to the application of the famous DudderaF smadstoaes They were applied to the wound and adhered tho first time. Ad- ans, shortle after he was bitten, at- tempted, with extraordinary nerve, to cautarize the wound, and, as he thought, thus burn out the poison. He used a charred stick and severely burned his hand.
 The Dudderar madstones are known throughout Kentucky and Tennessee Bfr. Dddderar told the correspondent that they were brought to Kentucky from Missouri about 1S49 by his father, Samuel Dudderar, who said that the stones came from the nav of Rocky mountain goat. h the 50 years or mora that they have been il the Dudderar family the stones have been applied to at least 900 mad dog bites, and of all the patients only ono has died, and il that case the wound was neglected fer f9 days after inc biting. -CincjEnas Enquirer
