WONDERFUL LAKE

Filled With Boiling Acids That Eat
Boats to Pieces.
A strange lake exists in the center
of Sulphur island off New Zealand. It
is SO acres in extent. about=I2 feet in
depth and Is feet above the level of
the sea. The most remarkable char
acteristie of this lake is that the water
contains VI. quantities Of hydro
chloric and sulphuric acids, kissing
and bubbling at a temperature Of 10
degrees Fahrenheit The dark green
colored water looks particularly untn-
viting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes
constantly roll off this boiling ealdron,
and care has to be exercised IN ap-
preaching this lake to avoid the risk of
suffoeation. On the opposite side of
the lake may be seen the tremendous
blow-holes, which, when In full blast.
present an awe-inspiring sight. The
roar of the steam as It rushes forth
into the air is deafening, and often
huge powders and stones are hurled
out to a height of several hundred feet
by the various internal forces of ma
ture. A boat can be launched on the
lake. and. If proper care be observed,
the very edges of the blow-holes may
be safely explored Some idea of the
strength of the acid-saturated water
of this lake may be gathered from the
fact that boat almost dropped to
pieces after all the passengers had been
landed, as the rivets had eorroded IN

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
&The Chamber of Horrors" Which Was
Built Hundred Years Ago.

One of the curiosities in England at
present is the old convict ship Success,
which has recently been converted into
a museum, or into what foreign jour
nalist style "a chamber of horrors.
She was built 10 years ago, and her
first years were spent in cruising be-
tween the East Indies and England. In
1929 the British admiralty bought and
statianed her in the waters Of western
Australia Capt. Stirling was then in
command, and from his Scottish birth
place the town of Perth in Australia
takes it's name From 1847 to 1851 the
Success piled between London and
East Adelaide. On her last trip she
had on board several hundred immi
grants who intended to seek their for
tunes in the newly discovered gold
fields. During the voyage the captain,
the other officers, and the entire crew
became seized with the same gold fever
and the result was that when Land was
reached they, too. left the ship and
went off to seek their fortunes. The
Success was next used to transport
criminals of the deepest dye to Van
Diemens Land, as Tasmania was then
called, and she also served as a floating
prison for especially dangerous Grim
mails. The vessel then became popu-
larly know mas "The Hell of the
Ocean," title which was evidently
we'll deserved. Old records show that
some awful scenes took place on her.
The prisoners cells we're in two tiers
under the deck, and were SO small that
inmates could hardly move in them.
Moreover, they were so fashioned that
they could be made light or dark, and
the most fnsubordinate prisoners were
always placed in the latter. These
curious cells, many of the old instru-
ments of torture and a number Of wax
figures representing famous criminals
are now being exhibited on the Sue
cess, and are attracting a crowd OF
sightseers. The old ship is at present
in Lefth Harbor. in Seotland.-NeW

cAMpHoR GROWING INFLoRIDA
Much of the Gum in the States Comes
From the Everglades.


Florida is in a fair way to become
the rival in camphor production OF
China, Japan and Formosa. Hereto
fore the world has derived its supplies
Of that gum from the countries named,
but of the vast camphor forests that
once existed in these regions but
small portion remains. This IS the
direct result of the wanton waste in
the process practiced for obtaining the
gum from the tree Camphor is usual
ly obtained by boiling the chips of the
wood and roots and bark in great ket-
ties with water and condensing the Yo-
latilized gum on rushes suspended over
the kettles In this process the entire
tree is cut down and even the roots dug
uD, but in Florida it was found that
the gum could be commercially pro-
duced from the leaves and tWigs, sew
enty-seven pounds of which yield one
pound of gu. Hence the bearing tree
need not be disturbed or injured in
any way, as the foliage it bears is very
dense and may be thinned down one
half without scarcely being noticed
The tree, besides, bears a very great
amount of pruning without injury. 1t
is an evergreen. and makes three
growths year-in April, June and 0c-
tober. The tree removes nothing from
the soil. the gum being formed entire
ly from the gases of the atmosphere,
and hence the leaves, when deprived
of their eamphor and returned to the
soil, constantly enrich the soil, which
in time requires no fertilizing what
ever. Aside from its commercial uses
the camphor tree is one Of the most
ornamental ever cultivated. its beauti-
full shape being equaled BY the arbor-
vitae only. It's lower branches lie on
the ground, while the top forms per-
feet cone. The flowers are small. but
exceedingly pretty, while the leaves
are Of beautiful pale. glossy green
color.

GERMANS STRANGE TIMEPiEcE
Took Him 6 Years to Make His $4,000


Clock.
A remarkable clock is to DE placed
on exhibition here in the near future.
1t has taken Is years for the inventor,
Carl julius Speath, native of Baden,
Germany, to build it. Not until 1884
did he start to build this clock. 1t is
what the inventor calls an astfo-
nomical art clock. All parts of it were
made by Speath himself out of raw
material The smaller parts are plated
with gold or silver, the larger parts
are of nickel. The case is feet high,
4 feet wide, and feet deep, and is
made out of oak wood, waxed and pol
ished. On the top at the left hand,
stands a rooster, which crows three
times, just before the clock strikes II.

top, on the right hand, stands the
angel Gabriel, who blows his horn
after the striking of each hour. In the
gallery beneath the roof stand the four
eyangelsts, Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Two statues stand in another
apartment and strike the quarter

stroke stands a child, near the second
a young man. near the third man

an old man. These figures are sup
posed to illustrate the four stages of
human existence In the center of the
gallery is the Savior, seated upon the
clouds, holding book and a cross and
showing his wounds. The astronomical
part of the clock is very elaborate. The
eelipses of the sun and moon are
shown distinctly and predicted accu=
rately The position of the stars and
their movements are also shown very
beautifully. The milky way. equator,
zodiac, and meridians are painted on a
globe At the lower right-hand cor

trations after which the weekdays are
named The whole clock weighs only
