HAS VOLCANOES TO BURN.

Uncle Sam Has Choice Assortmeut
In the Philippine Tslauds.
The United States Geological Survey
will publish before long some facts
about the volcanoes Of the Philippines,
which appear to be very interesting.
One of them is the most symmetrically
beautiful volcanic cone in the world,
being even more perfect than the ia
nous Fujiyama, the sacred mountain
of Japan. 1t is little less than 1900
feet high, and the name of it is Albay.
Albay was an exceedingly active vol
cano during the last century, having
burst into eruption at least twenty
five times since the year 1900. 1t broke
out only last year with renewed plu-
tonic activity, and back in 1914 nc
fewer than 1900 lives were lost in con.
sequence of one of its bad spells, vii
lage four miles from the crater being
under lava and ashes to such a depth
that the ridgepoles of the houses were

and on the first day Of pheasant shoot

Two days later Albert followed him
to town. 1t was but forlorn hope, but
1t occurred to him that he might pur-
suade the girl-for consideration of
course-to be merciful and release his
brother from any foolish promises he
may have made.
As Albert did not know much about
London, he determined to seek the as
sistance and advice of his uncle, Lord
dorchester, but on his arrival at Tor
chester House he found that garden
party was in full swing.
Lady dorchester greeted him with a
few kind words of welcome and he
passed on to his uncle.

ANGLERS. SONG.

Away, away, to the brookside green,
In the mornings earliest flush,
TO the purling brook where the alders
lean
Gracefully o'er the waters rush,
And the golden sun. with its many-hued
sheen,
Makes the tinted wavelets blush.
The lancewood rod, with its supple tip,
Is sound and strong as a pine;
But, arching, it bends with dainty dip
When the brook trout strains the line,
And the spray flies high when the hsh's
lip
Is pierced by the hooks sharp tine.
The tackles strong and the waters right,
So there's chance for luck to-day;
With the wind in the south and the sun
not bright.
Our creels will surely weigh,
Ere with weary feet, by the gloaming's 8
light,
Homeward, we wend our way.
And where the messy bank is sprayed
By the waters roaring fall,
Meath the slender birches' Pickering
shade,
Well rest and thankful, recall
That, of sports the Fates for men have
made,
Angling's the best of ali.

Eggs OF Insects.

The collection. preservation and ex-
animation of the eggs Of insects will
afford interesting recreation. Curtains,
carpets, foor-crevices. cushions, furs
and woolen garments will serve as a
prolific hunting ground indoors; while
out of doors the surface waters Of
ponds and water-butts. the corpses of
birds, the skins of cattle, and the leaves
and branches Of the strawberries give
an abundance of material.
Among those insects whose eggs
make the most Interesting microscope
cal mounts may be noted the common
house-fy, the wasp, the tortoise-shell
and cabbage butterflies, the mottled
umber and the puss moths, the dragon
fly, and most of the parasites. The eggs
of these are all shapes, hexagonal, conf
cal, oval. spherical, and are most richly
and harmoniously colored; while the
elaborately sculptured surfaces are
hardly excelled in the beauty Of their
designs by the symmetry of the ciliat-
ed. winged and fringed ornamentations
with which they are surrounded.

are many extinct or dormant craters.
The magnificent cone of Banajao, 1882
feet in height, is visible from Manila
bay. Its crater, 700 feet deep, was oc-
cupied by a lake up to 1870, when
violent eruption took place, bursting
out the southern side of the crater and
pouring out both water and incandes-
cent lava.
On an island in the Lake of Bombon
is the remarkable Taal volcano, which
is readily accessible from Manila. Its
central crater is oval in shape, mile
and quarter across the greatest di-
ameter and has within it's rim two
lakes of hot water, one yellow and the
other green, and small active cone
| fifty feet in height, from which escape
steam and sulphurous gases. The
strange eolors 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 won
derful fertility to the soil, and present
ly new growth of bamboo and palms
appears where desolation had reigned.
Even the localities most seriously and
constantly threatened by volcanoes in
the Philippines are promptly repopu-
lated after every disaster. their fertil-
| ity, surprisingly beautiful situation
| and healthfulness charming the people
into a prompt forgetfulness of past

| The worst volcanic disturbances on
record In the Philippines occurred Jan.
4, 1641. They seem to have centralized
at the southern end of Mindanao, where
there is a formidable group of fire
mountains" as the natives call them.
Three outbursts took place on that day
in different portions of the archipelago,
accompanied by earthquakes which
were felt as far away as Cochin China
and Cambodia. A Spanish squadron
was off the south coast of Mindanao,
and some of the ships were almost
overwhelmed by falling ashes. In
Luzon, in Union province, three hills
and several villages were thrown into

lsHAREo HIS LEAP TO DEATH.

White Elk Forced to Obey Judgment
of the Shoshone Indians.
White Elk. the SON of Standing Bear,
the Shoshone chieftain, sat stolidly in
the grim circle Of Indians that sat
around the council fire. He sat un-
moved as each Indian in turn thrust
his hand forward with the fingers out
spread and the thumb pointing down
ward. The last Indian in the circle
had made the sign. Standing Bear
arose and stood stiff and stern in the
red lights Of the burning embers. Every
eye was upon him. White Elk sat
looking stoiidly at him through half
closed eyelids. Standing Bear thrust
bis arm out at full length and slowly
spread his fingers apart and turned his
thumb toward the earth. A scream
came from group of women standing
near the chiefs lodge. Then two old
squaws led away a young Indian
woman who still sobbed in spite Of the
storied stoicism of her race. The SEN
tence of death had been passed on
White Elk. He slowly rose as his ia
ther turned toward him and extended
a piece of black wampum. He took 1t
and tucked it in his girdle, bowed slow
ly to the council, and strode away to
his own tepee, where he sat calmly
putting at his pipe long after the couH-
I'll had broken up and its members had
gone quietly to their lodges. White
Elk sat alone In the silence of the night
listening to the rushing waters Of the
Popoagie. It was the voice of his exc
cutioner. Three days more and he was
to be cast from a high rock into the
