FALCON ISLAND REAppEARs.
Disappeared Comes Again Into View.

cdlCOu iSi6uus WHICH carry idst year was reported to have completely dis appeared beneath the waves of the Pacific, is again showing its flat sur face above the water. The life his- tory of this speck of land has been unusual and interesting. A cable dis patch from Europe printed in April last year said that after a brief life of IA years Falcon island had ceased to exist. 1t was thought that no trace of it would ever be seen again. But MT. Vossion, the consul general of France in the Tonga group, an- nounces that Commandant Ravenhill. of the cruiser Porpoise, has returned to those islands from a cruise in the Pacific with the news of the re- emergence of Falcon island. He says that the highest part of the island is now about 16 feet above sea level.
 The island was formed by a great volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea in 1885. It took the waves and storms of the ocean IA years entirely to obliterate it. MT. J. J. Lister, who visited the island a short time before it disappeared. said that it was rap- idly being torn to pieces by the action of the waves. Unless a fresh volcanic outburst occurred he thought it would soon disappear. His predic- tion came true, and steamer that visited the place about the beginning of last year reported that not trace of it was to be found above the water level. F '..i3
 The island was built up in the neighborhood of the Tonga group about 35 miles from the Island of Tofoes. A submarine volcano had reared from the bottom of the ocean a mighty mass of eiecta, and on this foundation rested the outpourings which rose above the water. The island consisted of two distinct parts. One of them was hill of gentle slope and wider base whose height was 153R feet. On one side the hill ended abruptly in cliff whose base was washed by the sea at high water. Tee other part of the island was flat. ex- tending away from the base of the hill in a northerlv direction and only ten to twelve feet above the high tide level. The whole bit of land was just a bare, brown heap of ashes around which the great rollers broke and swept up the black shores in sheets of foam. The island was entirely des- titute of any veretation save for a half dozen seeding plants that had found lodgment there.
 It will not be strange if the island is torn to pieces and again disappears from view within a very few years. Its reappearance now is doubtless due to another volcanic eruption. Vol canic islands seldom endure many years unless they are so large or so we'll protected against the sea that there is time for them to become cov- cred with dense masses of vegetation before ocean storms have an oppor- tunity to tear them to pieces.

 Grandma said never a word. Bed time came, and with a sigh of relief Dot drew of her shoes. t'o .t.
 'It's in my stockie," said she, after que examination; there's two dreat Dig knots in the heel"
 "Knots?" echoed grandma.
 There was no stupidity about our bright Dot, and she understood all the meaning conveyed in grandma's tone and look at once.
 "Knots of impatience, Dot" I could not refrain from saying, "for which you have suffered all day long," t
 And undutifulness, added grand ma, land covert untruthfulness"
 Dot turned the color of her stock ings.
 "You might have smooved 'em out" she said, carefully examining her blis- tered heel.
 Out of the wool, perhaps" answered grandma, earnestly, "but not so easily the knots when formed in the skein of character, Dot"
 Several days after grandma beck oned me to approach an open door. Within could be heard the voices of Dot, Willie and Rose. An altercation was evidently in progress concerning the destruction of a doll. In a rocking chair sat Dot with pair of grandma's spectacles upon her nose. Gravely she peered over them at the flushed face of Willie. .-
 "N 70 broke dolly's head ?' she ques- tioned.
 "Rose!" answered he, promptly.
 Dear, dear" exclaimed Dot, bending forward, "such a snarl as you are det- tin the skein into, Willie!"
 "What skein?" asked he, sulkily.
 ''Did you or didn't you break dolly's head 2" she continued, without answer ing his question.
 No, I didn't!" this very emphatic ally.
 "'Nother knot in the skein," said Dot, initiating grandma's tone and manner to perfection, "'nother dreat big knot, my child, 'cause-'cause saw you do it."
 An impressive silence, broken only by Willie's smiles.
 Keep on tellin' stories, Willie." gravely went on the little monitor, "and you'll det all tangled up like-like a skein of wool when you let your hands drop. Then comes knots, and knots can never be smooved out, never. They'll get knitted into your hide. my child, and-div' you a heap of torment. I know!" and pushing the spectacles back upon her head, Dot sank into gentle reverie. so much like her grand mas that the smile died from our lips. and the dear old lady. as We tip-toed back to our room. said in trembling tones: Heaven bless the child!"-N.
