In an island in the Lake OF Bonn
bon is the remarkable Taal volcano.
which is readily accessible from Man
lila, writes a correspondent in the New
York Herald. Its central crater is
oval in shape, mile and quarter
across the greatest diameter, and has
within its rim two lakes of hct water,
one yellow and the other green, and
a small active cone 80 feet in height.
from which escape steam and sulphu-
ric gases. The strange colors OF the
waters are due to the presence of
chemicals evolved in subterranean
laboratories. The greatest eruption
of Taal took place in 1854, wiping out
four villages. Apparently the volcanic
ash lends wonderful fertility to the
soil, and presently new growth OF
bamboo and palms appears where des-
olation had reigned.

American Kitchen Magazine is on the
education of children in the use of
money. A paragraph in it relates to
the guardianship by the parents of the
money children accumulate in their
toy banks. 1t was found from answers
to questions sent out to children in the
matter, that almost no child could pre-
serve his bank money from the family
use. It was constantly borrowed, at
first paid back scrupulously, then in
sums short of the original loan. finally
not at all. and the bank was abandoned
for time, to be started again with a
repetition of the experience. Other
children reported also on the manner
in which promises of money payment
were kept by their elders. Various
tasks were set them for which small
sums of money were to be paid but
when the weed-digglng, stone-picking
or what not was performed. payment
