.be ot su,phuric Acid.

II may be difficult to believe in the existence of lake of sulphxric acid, but according to Tit-Bits, there is such lake in the center of Sulphur island, off New Zealand. It 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 hydro chlerl, and sulphuric acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The dark green eolored water looks particularly un- inviting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off this boiling caIdron.z and care has to be exercised iE approaching this lake to avoid the risk of seffoeation. On the opposite side of the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholss, 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 bowlers and stones are hurled out to a height of several hundred feet by6he various internal forces of na- t11fa

The last moment had come and the editor W6sin despair. lie tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by a happy thought and dashed off the lines. After carefully perusfng the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, We have ar rived at the conclusion that it nay be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment. We ourselves consider it to be perfectly innocent, but, as we are unwilling, for our readers sake as well as for our own. to have our news paper confiscated, we have very un- willingly, though, as we think, pru- dently, resolved to withdraw the arti- cIe. This must serve as the apology to our readers for the blank space in our present issue" The journal was pub

 Diamonds

Diamonds
 ''Kimberlev proper is built around a hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This is the excavation above the Kimberley mine. made when diamonds were mined from the surface Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed, whence ret blue ground is blasted out and haaied to the surface in elevators. The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst. ruby and emerald are embedded in quartz. Thist makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose, and by swallowing, and every year the De Beers company gets from the workmen s2.o00,000 worth of stolen goods The inclina- tion to pilfer these stones is SC intense that the crime is severely punished h South Africa the first commandment is Thou shalt not steal diamonds For having a diamond found on his person that is not registered a man will get 20 years imprisonment.

Nslns the Life RoeRet.

On a coast where shoals and reefa make the use of a life boat impraetie- able, or where the breakers and surf put an insurmountable barrier between Che distressed crew on a wreck and the brave men on shore, the life rocket is resorted to: and. if the ship is within a certain distance, the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like a messenger of hope and life to those poor souls who, but moment before, seemed beyond the reach of hu- man aid. But, seei Suddenly a snow white serpent shoots up in the air. It comes nearer and nearer; the anxious Y strained eyes can now see the hue which travels with it. It has reached the wreck and has been seized by eager hands. Quickly il is pulled through a tail-block, and, as they haul on, stout rope soon follows in it's wake Next comes a hawser, y means of which food and restoratiyes can be passed to the sufferers. Lastly comes the life- suoy, and one by one the crew is safe ly landed. Sometimes a kind of car is sent, in which several people can be rescued at the same time,

4 double funeral took place at Ben enden, near Cranbrook Kent, England when well-known hop-grower, Mf.

HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
Two Stars in This Perilous Line of

Work.
 Two famous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paaaphefnalia of the sea, 0pu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perilods line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both are thoroughly familiar with the ciYiliza- tion of West Australia where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters. says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl Scrabant of the many hundreds Hho have embarked in tho trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns a pearling dredger and q ship, both are engaged in the trade Ia south western waters. His ship, however is 2 mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make it pay, but the com mercial mother-of-pearl. is made from t1e shells that they deal in When it comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of a scoop or lredger than can take the place of men,s eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. As q rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes man will pick up a fortune in a few weeks and sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to $750 ton, and there is always a chance that diver may make enough tp e1e day to quit for life. "We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet said 0pu, for the pressure is loo great. Even at thesa dNpths men cannot remain down over i've or ten minutes. and the average life Of the deep diver is short

Cured of stammerlng.

A very important operation was late ly= reported to the French Academic de Medicine by Prof. Jonneseo (of Blu charest), who asserts that he has com pleteIy cured a boy of thirteen of a confirmed stammer by eraniotomy. Ills theory is that the cause of the impedi- ment is often a dattening of the left side of the head, which prevents the proper development of the skull, and consequently a compression of the brain at the very place where Broea thought that he could loealize the fac ulty of speech He therefore cut away such portion of the tissues as appeared to confine at that part the dura mater, and found the experiment completely successful. One wonders whether this, too, was known to ueolithic man. Many neolithic skulls have been found from which a small circular piece of the bone has been removed, evidently dur ing life; and it has also puzzled an- thropologists to assign a cause for this primitive kind of trephining But If we assume it was done to cure stam- mering all difficulty would vanish

declared that orders were issued be-
fore the election to members of the
police force to interfere in no way
with the election, and that the orders
carried out in good faith. Their
was, they declared, no reason Why the
militia should have been called out by
Gov. Bradley, and no particular rea-
son why ard extra policemen should
have been sworn in, as there was no
disturbance at any time on election
day. Each of the four officers declared
that in his individual opinion the pres
ence of the militia in the armory de-
tered many people from going to the
polls. On cross-eXamination all or
them declared that they did not know
the name of any person who was so
