1t is certain that the greater facilities
for travel nowadays are sending our
health and pleasure seekers farther

come a necessity TO English people cat
Cambridge they do the trip at least
every spring., so that Athens has sup
planted Rome as the Mecca of the cul-

all the attractions combined of North
Berwick, Southsea and Mayfair-but
we have that dusky and fascinating
trio of winter stations-Tunis, Algiers
and Tangier. There is probably no
more eastern-lOoking city In the world
than Tunis-that white-domed city

the head Of shallow blue lake. Birkra

sumptuous hotels at Mustapha Super

ing place for those who like to see
Africa from the window of an hotel

boasting less luxurious inns, is yet
more engagingly oriental in character.

The convention of the National Spirit
ualist association at Chicago, in America
Auditorium hall, October IL to 20, pass
ed off very pleasantly and was success
both spiritually and financially. There
was large attendance throughout the
entire convention. The door fees al
evening sessions, the only charge made
at % cents each, amounted TO $500, not
withstanding the fact that 1913 officers
and regular delegates were admitted
free. There were 80 states represented
and over twenty from this state, whom
l met and was personally acquainted
with.
The best talent from Maine to Cali
fornia and from Minnesota to Texas
demonstrated to us scientifically and
philosophically the truths of spiritualism
The youngest person on the platform
was John W. Ring Of Galveston, Texas
only % years of age, who gave Us one OF
the most intellectual and eloquent lee
lures | have ever heard from so young a
man. We predict for him a brilliant
future.
Most of the former officers were retain
ed on the board.
Theodore j. Mayer of Washington, ID
c., treasurer of the n. S. A, presented
the association home for headquarters
at Washington, valued at $4,000, pro
viding the members and friends would
donate the same amount in money to
support the association, he himself donat-
ing 500 toward that fund and Alonzo
Thompson of Nebraska $500 more. From
that on the friends responded to the
amount of several thousand dollars, the
exact amount / did not ascertain. The
next annual convention will be held at
Cleveland, Ohio, in October, 1900. We
hope many of our friends can avail
themselves of the instruction and enjoy
ment by being present.

suspicions Of Coming Troubles Are I'm
the Air.

A possibility of much geographical
and geological interest is suggested by
news from Italy. 1t is asserted that
the eastern shore of Lake Garda,
near the northern end Of that sheet of
water, has recently been raised enough
20 render certain village harbors dry,
says the New York Tribune. Vague
and distant rumblings In the adjacent
mountains and the escape of steam
from assures In the rocks are among
the corroboratlve details supplied to
decorate an otherwise bald and uncon-
vincing narrative
Garda Is the easternmost of the
large lakes In northern Italy. Further
eastward. along the Swiss and Aus
trian frontier, stretches an Alpine up
lift that has four peaks 1000 feet high
The range as a whole is known as
Monte Baldo, and IL Ia within this
mighty mass that the trouble COM
planned Of seems To exist. At re-
mote age, IL Is conceded. there were
volcanic eruptions TO the southeast of
Monte Baldo. In the province Of Vicen-
"a But in the particular region which
now gives evidence of disturbance
there Is no reason To look for volcanic
action.
To be sure, there are precedents that
encourage suspicion of further devel-
opments. Monte NuOvo. on the Bay of
Baie, grew up from the seabed in
1888 The performance began with
nnIu a SlAxr Itffiprx % tho coil a fhic
was followed by the formation OF
cracks from which steam issued A
full-fedged but short eruption then oc-
Cured, leaving considerable cinder
cone. But as steam does not serve as
an accurate index Of the violence OF
the forces at work, IL is not safe to
draw hasty conclusion in regard to
Monte Baldo. All that ii is wise TO do
just now is to keep an eye on the mon
ster and see what it means to do.
An appropriate Offset to this story
may be found in the well-authenticated
account of the discovery of glaciers in
Africa. In the eastern part of that
continent between three and four de-
grees of latitude south OF the equator,
there stands a mountain the height of
which has been variously estimated at
1890 and 10, 700 feet. and which bears
the name Kilima-Njaro. It's ascent
has been attempted by number of
travellers. DIR. Hans Meyer, German
explorer, was the first TO reach it's
summit. This feat he performed in
1889. AT that time he saw small
glacial stream issuing from the crater.
A report Of his ascent of last year,
now available. declares that he went
up from the north side this time and
traced no less than a dozen glaciers on
the slopes.

In certain parts of the Hlmalaya
mountains the native women have a
singular way of putting their children
to sleep In the middle of the day. The
child Is put near a stream of water
and by means Of q palm leaf or tin
scoop the water is detected so as to
run over the back OF the child's head.
The water pouring over the child's
head apparently sends 1t to sleep and
keeps 1t so. while the mother proceeds
with her work in the fields. No one
seems ever to fear that the baby may
be drowned.
