Nassau's Lake of Fire.

II doubt if 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 near Nassau, for example,
there is curious sheet of water known
as the Lake Of Fire that is worth going
far to see. 1t is simply a phOsphor-
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 lamppOst shedding a dim light,
and past the open doors Of huts whose
occupants seem to fill every space In
the abOdes to Overf1Owing.
'HThe 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 cart away like little flames
into the dark and quiet waters. It is
beautiful sigh" t:"-NeW York Sun.

Not Quite What She Meant.

A very stout lady while out walking
in a certain part Of Edinburgh came to
a gateway which appeared to be the
entrance to a private road. Eot being
certain, however, she asked one Of
two messenger boys who werestanding
at the entrance whether she could get
through the gateway or not
The boy looked her up and d own and

A PEsSEVERING MONKEY.
PrOfeSSOr GHrner'S Story of Nellie
Sand the Matchbox,

PrOfeSS0r Gamers Story of Nellie
Sand the Matchbox.
MOnkcSS 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
fd greater return i'll pleasure than
certain little pocket match safe, which
tOst 81 cents. He gave it to a little
monkey, Nellie 10y 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 were 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 iB this, she turned to the wall.
and, standing upright Oh the top of
her cage. she took the box in 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 l closed the box for her to open
it again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was in her cage, and
through its 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
ancsng 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, - 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
flew open.
She fairly screamed with delight as
she held uD the box
