ALL FOR SCIENCE.
Mont PeIee's Crater Explored by
Prof. Angelo H%eiIprin.

Fort-de-France, Martinique, Tune g.
The National Geographical society has
scored a great triumph through its rep
r~esentative here. Prof. Angelo Heilprin,
who. Saturday morning. with three
guides, asc ended to the top of the crater
on the summit of Mont Pelee. Prof.
heilprin is also president of the Phil
adelphia Geographical society.
While on the summit several violent
explosions occurred. but, notwithstand-
ing the thousand dangers surrounding
him, Prof. Heilprin spent a long time
taking careful observations. Looking
down the crater, he found a huge cinder
cone. The crater opening is a vast
500 feet long and $50 feet wide.
While engaged in this task the lives of
the members of the expedition were

suspected, that there were three sep

Meanwhile Mont Pelee, seeming to re-

of the welcome extended to his double,

self. How had it all happened? He

that confronted him.

LEARNING TO SKATE.
A Skilled Skater Easily Becomes Adept
in Other Sports.

Skating is by no means so difficult
to master as it appears, says Country
Life in America. A few cardinal
points make the sum Of first needs,
prime among which, for all beginners,
is to carry the weight of the body for
ward, so that if fall you must (and you

the unprotected back of your head.
Keep your knees straight, your Shout
ders square, your head up, never look
at your feet, turn your toes well out,
and strike off with as long stroke, on
each foot alternately, as you can. You
will soon be master of equilibrium and
thereby of the vital necessity of all
skating.
One of the first inconsistencies,
which will be noticed in a day or two,
will be that one foot is much for
warder in its education, and more eff
ficient, than the other There viii be

of its superior capacity, Don't en-
courage it! Put the temptation be-

host of other things you will be told
about. Get ccnfidence,-as you get
that you will naturally bear with in
creasing pressure on the skates, and
they will, in obedience to the laws of
mechanics, of themselves describe
proper course on the inside edge.
That is the fundamental stroke. the
beginning and basis of all other skat-
ing. When this is conquered the skat-
ing world, with practice, is yours.
You may remain content with that
stage of proficiency, and it is sufficient
to carry you through the doughty con-
tests centering round the puck in
hockey. You may carry your educa-
ton farther and become a renowned
runner of races and an adept over the
hurdles, or you may aspire to show off
as cutter of figures and to graduate
as a professor in the high ranks of the
skating fraternity. You may, indeed,
have ambitions to join in the combined
figures, with experts of both sexes.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

Laugh at the world or be laughed at;
Frown or it frowns on you;
For the wicked old earth from the
time of its birth
Has exacted travail as its due.
Sing if you aim to be pitied,
Sigh if you want TO be scorned,
For the echoes rebound to the mock
joyful sound
OF Indifference, by envy suborned.
Be glad and your fellows take UNI
bragg,
Be sad, they regard you askance,
There are those to assign for good
fortune of thine,
Such fell reasons as malice ad-
vance.
There is room in the halls of pleasure,
But we would we alone were there,
And one by one we have all passed on
To a narrow, selfish care.
For the smiles we fain would scatter,
. And the hand we would fam reach
out;
Is an impulse we live and learn to see
Unrequited and put to rout.
And betrayals have oft been our por-
ton,
For the kindness we would bestow;
SO away with pretense, out OF pure
self-defense
We must mete out woe for woe.

During the height of the last eA-

the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa railway,
at Hamlet, Mich, was one OF the pas
sengers on an excursion train bound
for Benton Harbor. He had in his
pocketbook nearly $500 in cash and
checks. While en- route the pocket
book disappeared and he returned to
his station without the money.
On the following Monday the entire
amount inside the pocketbook was re-
turned to him. The pocketbook lay
in the baggage car over Sunday and
Sunday night, and the car inspector at
Laporte found it Monday and re-
turned it to the owner, the property
being easily identified by the nature
of the papers inside the pocketbook.

trains. The men are in the habit of
sinking down in the seat and resting
their knees against the back of the

pockets the motion of the train is

the trousers pocket, and it falls on
the floor, and finally trainman comes
along and restores the wallet to the
