It may be difficult to believe in the
existence of lake of sulphuric acid,
but there is such lake in the centre
of Sulphur Island, off New Zealand.
It is fifty acres in extent, abouttwelve
feet in depth and fifteen feet above
the level of the sea. The most re-
markable characteristic of this lake,
however, is that the water contains
vast quantities Of hydrochloric and
sulphuric acids, Kissing and bubbling
at q temperature of ITO degrees
Fahrenheit. The dark green colored
water looks particularly uninviting.
Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes con-
stsntly roll off this boiling caldron,
and care has to be exercised in ap-
preaching this. lake to avoid the risk
Of sufocation. i

John H. Lyman, OF This City, Will
Make a Peculiar Trip to Study
Conditions on the Continent.
TO GO FROM ITALY TO RUSSIA
Young Kenosha Man Will Walk the
Entire Distance and Study Indus
trial Conditions En- Route.

A letter has been received in this
city from John H. Lyman, a son of
Frank Lyman, stating that he had fin
ished his work at the Paris Exposition
and had left Paris to make trip over
all the European countries.
During his stay in the American
building at the Exposition Mr.. Lyman
formed the acquaintance of another
American boy and the two have ar
ranged to make complete tour of ali
the continent on foot. They left Paris
for Southern France last Monday
morning and they expect to complete
the trip by the latter part of May or
June. Every bit of the journey will be
made on foot if it is possible.
The young men are both students
and it is their plan to make a close
study of life in the different countries
in Europe. From France they will go
to Italy and they expect ito spend sew
era1 weeks in historic centers about
Rome and Venice. From Italy they
will go to Germany and make a trip
along the Rhine. From Germany they
will proceed through Austria and the
smaller German provinces and into
the Netherlands. From the Neither
lands their stro11s will take them into
Russia, and they are planning to pene-
trate as far north as possible.
During the trip the boys will make a
close investigation of the conditions of
the peoples in the different countries
and the modes of living. When they
return to America next summer it is
probable that the result of their inves-
LEGATIONS will be published in book
form, The trip of Mr.. Lyman will be
exceedingly interesting to Wisconsin
people, as John was formerly a mem
Der of the Wisconsin crew.

Northwestern Railway Company An.
nounceS That 1t Will Pension All
Its Worthy Employees.
FIRST OF WESTERN RAILROADS
Will Retire Old Men on Partial Pay, the
Work to be Started With New Century.
Many From Kenosha Affected.

The Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way will present it's $4,000 employees
with permanent pension system to-
day. This is the Christmas and New
Years gift of President Marvin
Hughitt, the directory and the stock
holders, to the capable and faithful
rank and file who have given the best
of themselves to the making of the
pioneer railroad of the Northwest.
The Northwestern is the first of the
Great Western railroads to adopt an
employees pension system, patterned in
many respects after that recently ere
ated by the Pennsylvania lines, i'm
proved upon wherever the wisdom OF
the directory thought best.
In it's scope the pension system pro-
posed, which will 90 into effect Jan. 1,
is the most sweeping yet effected by an
American corporation in that it takes
in every emp1oye of the system from
the highest to the lowest.
The circular letters to the employees
announcing the coming installation of
the pension system will be sent out to-
will state that after Jan. 1, 1901, in
connection with the management of
the Northwestern lines, there will be
established pension system and pen
sion board for worthy employees of the
road, disabled or age-incapacitated.
This board is to be composed of Will
liam A. Gardner, general manager;
Edward c. Carter, chief engineer;
Richard C. Ashton, general superin-
tendent; Robert Quai1e, superintend-
ent motive power and machinery; w.
H. Stennet, auditor of expenditures.
This board will pension employees of
the road upon the following plan: Any
emp1oye who is between 65 and 90
years of age, who has been thirty
years in the employ of the road, and
who is disabled in service, will receive
pension of per cent per month cal
cu1ated upon his monthly rate of
wages for the last ten years of his ser
vice with the company.
Any emp1oye who has reached the
age of 20 years, and who has been
thirty years in the employ of the COM
pany, will be retired upon pension of
per cent per month"; calculated upon
the monthly rate of wages paid him
for the last ten years of his service
with the company.
Working in harmony with this plan
is another rule of the company, that it
will not employ any man over IS years
of age. How many employees of the
road this plan will Immediately retire
the officials of the directory have not
been able to calculate. Figures of
this character will not be obtainable
until the plan has been in operation at
least year. But it is believed that
eventually the full working of the plan
will call for an annual expenditure
upon the part of the company of
5000, OOO, which will go entirely to the
support and comfort of worthy and re-
tired employees Neither is it possible
to say at present just what monthly or
annual sum will be paid each EN-
ploye retired under the plan.
