Lake of sulphuric Acid.

1t may be difficult to believe in the
existence of a lake of sulphuric acid, but,
according to Tit-Bits. there is such a
lake in the center of Sulphur island, off
New Zealand. 1t is fifty acres in extent,
about twelve feet in depth and fifteen
feet above the level OF the sea. The
most remarkable characteristic of this
lake. however, is that the water contains
vast quantities Of hydrochloric and sui
phuric acids, Kissing and bubbling at a
temperature of ITO degrees Fahrenheit.
The dark, green-colored water looks par
ticularly uninviting. Dense clouds of
suphuric fumes constantly roll off this
boiling caldron, and care has to be ey-
ercised in approaching this lake to avoid
the risk of .suffocation. On the opposite
side of the lake may be seen the tremen-
dous blowholes, which, when in full blast,
present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar
of the steam as it PUSHES forth into the
air is deafening, and often huge bCulders
and stones are hurled out to height
of several hundred feet by the various
internal forces of nature

ANIMALS INSENSIBLE TO PAIN.
They Do Not Feel the Whip as Keen
1y as Do Human Beings.

If It is true that animals feel pain
less than men. then it is also true that
the fortunes and cruelties sometimes in
hlcted upon animals if administered to
men would be unbearable to the point al
most of insanity or death. The most
sensitive part Of the human frame is the
skin, and while this is true relatively of
animals it is certain also that the skin
of dogs or other animals is not SO sensitive
ais that of man. Besides the animals skin
is protected by a coat of insensitive hair.
In the case Of surgical operations on men
reaching, for instance, TO the abdominal
cavity it is the incis:on into the cavity
that requires the taking of anaesthetics,
and not so much the work to be done af-
ter the cavity is opened. After serious
operations upon animals which have been
placed under chlOrofOrm it frequently
happens that a few minutes after recov-
ering consciousness the animals frisk
about the room, sometimes jumping from
the floor TO the operating table.

Two Kinds of American Wheat.

The wheat grown in the United States
is OF two general kinds. One is the, old
fashioned plump-kernel winter wheat,
grown through all the Central and South
ern states; and the other is the hard
spring wheat-the Scotch Fife and the
Blue Stem" of Minnesota and the two
Dakotas-for many purposes the best
wheat grown in the world and the kind
that has made the fame of Minneapolis
flour. For the season of 1899, the prod
uct of the hard, or spring, wheat sections
Of the ne country will amount to upward of
Z4o,ooU,oO0 bushels, about two-fifths Of
States.-McClure's Magazine.

Deafness Cannot be Cur ed

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ton, hearing will be DESTROYED forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition

Lent and the Uniyersalists

At the meeting of the Universalist club
at the Thofndike recently Rev. ID. Ham
ilton spoke of the increased observance
of Lent in the Universalist church Dr.
Bemis said he had authentic figures to
show that 500 Universalist churches
were now observing Lent President E.
Ell. Capen went into the history of Lent
and said that the times had changed as
regards fasting,a bodily abstinence not
being as great as it was The fact that
is of real Importance is the spiritual fast,
n fast which we are justified in advocat
ing and more than justified in observing
Rev. ]. M. Pullman said the church
should make itself into a school Of spirit
ual and moral culture. whereof one Of
the great means is observance of this
season made by God for this very thing.
What the Universalist church needs is
