places were buried deep under layers Of
volcanic dust.
One Of the most regrettable features
of the explosion was the destruction Of
the "Wonder of Wonders" the famous
mineral spring which filed crater
about $50 feet In circumference and,
overlooking, its transparent, alabaster-
like margin fell in thin azure sheets
from basin to basin. AS 1t fell the wa
ter, saturated with silica and sulphur
Gus substances, became cooler and grad
ually changed color from the sapphire
tints of the upper basin to turquoise
blue lower down and a slightly azure
shade where the waters entered the
lake. These white and pink terraces"
as they were called, were among the
most beautiful of sights and few for
eigners going to New Zealand failed to
pay them a visit. The terraces were
blotted out beneath q heat Of scoriae.
Mr.. Cadet brings the interesting news
that here and there these gorgeously
colored rocks are again coming into
view and 1t is evident from his descrip-
ton of the region in its present aspects
that the phenomena of this wonderland
will always continue to rank among the
most remarkable Of natures spectacles-

Pink and White Gifts Are Again Max
ing their Appearance.
Henry NJ. Cadet. a ScOtchman who
some years ago wrote one of the best
condensed accounts of our Yellowstone
Park, has been visiting the volcanic
zone in North Island, New Zealand.
where he caught glimpses of the pink
and white terraces that were buried out
Of sight fourteen years ago. This re-
gion is a land of wonders. No part Of
the world, except the Yellowstone Park,
is so conspicuous for hot springs and
geysers. They burst from the ground
endlessly diversified in form, size and
chemical composition. Long before
European settlers saw New Zealand the
thermal and mineral waters attracted
d. the natives who had discovered their
curative properties. Mr.. Cadell says
that some sanatoriums have now been
erected here and are visited by many
New Zealanders and foreigners.
Mount Tarawera. about 5000 feet
high. was supposed to be extinct till
1856 when one winters night it sud
denly awoke. The natives who live
around the shores of the beautiful lake
of the same name at the foot of the
volcano told Mr.. Cadet that eleven days
before the catastrophe they saw a spec
trail canoe floating in the heavens above
the lake. They had never seen any
thing like it before and they believe the
spectacle was a forewarning that some
terrible event would occur. Mirages
are sometimes seen in that region. The
: canoe may have been merely a phe
nomenon of this sort or perhaps only q

When the stormy breezes buster
Through the shade trees. lank and bare
And the tiny frost flakes sparkle
In the chilly morning air,
Then we take an Inventory
And DER useful things we gloat;
Naught can wake our tender interest
Like last winters overcoat.
Tendcrly we pick the mothballs
From the pockets where they've lain,
And with sponge and brush we labor
To remove each spot and stain;
Mourning DER the frequent tokens
OF our hungry friend the moth,
Where he foraged at his leisure
On the sleek imported cloth.
But at length, with some misgivings,
We pronounce it fit to wear;
Yet we shun our dude companions
And resent their naughty stare.
And we're apt to lose some slumber
And some envy we devote
To the man who need not worry
Ger last winters overcoat.

Recent improvements in telephoto
cameras are said TO have obviated the
old difficulty which required long ex-
posures, and have rendered 1t possible
to take pictures with such cameras as
quickly as with those of ordinary con-
sTuction. The Improvement has been
effected by placing a tube, containing
positive lens at one end and negative
at the other, in front of the ordinary
lens Of the camera.
1t is with some surprise that one
reads In a recent report of the director
of the National Observatory at Athens
that, taking area into account, earth
quakes are about twice as frequent in
Greece as they are in Japan. The latter
country has usually been looked upon
as par excellence the land of earth
quakes. 1t would appear that its earth
quakes are, upon the whole, more Sc
we're than those in Greece, although the
great architectural monuments of
Greece have suffered much from seismic
disturbances.

that impart the flavor or aroma which
consumers like. These compounds diff
fer in quality and quantity in different
grades of the leaf There is no apparent
relation between the color or the aroma
and the amount of nicotine. Nicotine
diminishes during the processes of cur

latter are due to the action of bacteria.
Sir Norman Lockyer points out that
the statues and plaques carved in stone
and wood to be seen in Gizeh Museum
prove that the priest-mummifers of
Memphis, 5000 years ago, had a pro
found knowledge of anatomy. Science,
he therefore thinks. is as old as art, and
they have advanced together. Another
remarkable fact is that the excavations
in Italy have brought to light scores OF
finely finished surgical instruments fol
certain operations, which are, in almost
every particular of form. precisely like
those reinvented in modern times anC
used by the most advanced surgeons Of
to-day.
