Sassau,s Like OF Eire.

Il doubt it many persons realize the
fascination to be derived from a winter
spent in the Bahamas" said a visitor
just returned from there the other day.
Down nea Nassau, for example,
there is a curious sheet of water known
as the Lake of Fire that is worth going
far to see. 1t is simply a p%hosphor-
escent lake, but its weird effects cling
to ones recollection in an uncanny
way. 1t is about three miles from the
hotel. You drive through quaint and
narrow streets, with only here and
there a lamppost shedding a dim light,
and past the open doors of huts whose
occupants seem to fill every space in
the abodes to overfowing.
1.-THE gates of the old estate of Wa
terloo have long since disappeared, and
the house is in ruins, but you drive be-
tween the posts which still mark the
entrance down a grass grown roadway
to the edge of this wonderful pond.
The water is only a few feet deep, and
the pond is scarcely a quarter of a mile
long. We stepped into a rowboat by
the dim light of a lantern, and in a mo-
ment, as the boat pushed off and the
oars broke the water into ripples, we
were surrounded by a sea of flame. The
divers who swan about seemed literal
ly merged in blue smoke, for the effect
of this phosphorescence is more like
smoke than water. 1t reminds one Of
the butterfly dance seen on the stage,
The form of the diver is surrounded by
a luminous glow, and the fishes take
fright and dart away like little flames
into the dark and quiet waters. 1t is a
beautiful ~sight."-New York Sun.

to re was the startling stupidity dis
played. they generally squat on
GtEnps or legs in the lake and watch
fer the smaller fish that play around
the surface of the water. They are
fairly clever in catching what they
want, and they throw u their bill
with considerable precision when they
sig for game. But they never get to
eat what they catch until they have fed
at least Z and maybe more than one
member Of another kind of water fowl.
"Whenever a shag begins to catch

tie water hen simply reaches over and

other cnterprising member Of the same

Il Lave en- one occasion seen one shay

A P%ERsEvERlNG MONKEY.
Professor Garner's Story of Nellie
and the Matchbox.


Monkeys are always happy if they
have plenty to eat and something to
play with. Professor r. L. Garner, in
his APES and Monkeys" says that he
recalls no investment which ever yield
ed a greater return in pleasure than a
certain little pocket match safe, which
cost % cents. He gave it to a little
monkey, Nellie by name, after putting
into it a small key to make it rattle
and some bits of candy.
She ratified the box and found much
pleasure in the noise. l showed her
how to press the spring in order to
open the box, but her little black fin
gers We're not strong enough to release
the spring.
However. she caught the idea and
knew that the spring was the secret
which held the box closed. When she
found that she could not open it with
her fingers, she tried it with her teeth.
Failing in this. she turned to the wall,
and, standing upright on the top of
her cage, she took the box Sn both
hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid flew open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the hundredth time at
least closed the box for her to open
it again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was in her cage, and
through it's meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force it
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires of
the cage, she discovered a block Of
wood about six inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
it with the left foot, while with the
right foot she clung to the perch. With
her tail wound around the meshes of
the cage to steady herself, she care.
fully adjusted the matchbox in such a
manner as to protect her fingers from
the blow. Then she struck the spring
against the block of wood, and the lid
few open.
She fairly screamed with delight as
she held up the box.
