For several days l noticed the word
"pan-queque" upon the bill of fare at the
hotel. and did not know what II was. There
is a brand Of wine from one of the Chill
ian vineyards with that name, and sup
posed it was perhaps the same thing re-
ferred TO- although It was difficult to I'M
derstand why it should appear among the
desserts on the menu al the dinner table
and on the bills Of fare for breakfast.
The best way to find out about such things
is to try them and the next morning, be-
ing in an experimental mood, / ordered a
"Danqueque," which, 10 our amazement,
was an ordinary griddle cake Then It
dawned upon my duh perceptions that
"panqueque" spelt pancake. I called the
attention of the head waiter to the discov-
cry, and he seemed quite astonlshed. He
could talk English well and claimed TO
be familiar with the cuisine of America.
Therefore he did not see anything unusual
in my discovery, and | rather think he
wrote the bill Of fare himself for he re-
marked, in surprised tone:

This material is richer in the alkali than

cent of potash.
Finally we come to kainit, the most
generally used of all the potash salts. 1t

acre The land is supplied with about fifty
three pounds of potash at an expense of

In times long gone it was no difficult
matter for many farmers to collect to-

from oak and hickory woods. In the
towns and cities, before coal was used
for fuel to any extent, in the South large
Quantities of ashes accumulated and they
could be had for a very small sum COM

had the sense to know their value as

this time there are, compare lively, but
small quantity of ashes to be had and so
the great bulk of potash used for ma
rure is derived from the several grades

a Lake Tint Eats Boats.

A strange lake exists in the center Of
Sulphur island off New Zealand. 1t Is
so acres in extent. about II feet in
depth and Is feet above the level Of the
sea.
The most remarkable characteristic
OF this lake is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and sui
phuric acids Kissing and bubbling at a
temperature Of 11O degrees F.
The dark green colored water looks
particularly uninviting. Dense clouds
Of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off
this boiling caldron and care has to be
exercised In approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of suffocation. On the
opposite side of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which,
when in full blast, present an awe in
spring sight.
The roar Of the steam as il rushes
forth INFO the air is deafentng, and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out to height Of several hun
dred feet by the various internal forces
of nature.
A boat can be launched on the lake,
and If proper care be observed the very
edges of the blowholes 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 al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed, as the
rivets had corroded under the influence
of the acids.
