square off by the sheer walls which
rise from the eastern shores of Lake
Taal. The lake stretches away to the
south, while out of the center juts the
island whose smoking cones tell of I'M
quenchable subterranean fires. This
is the crater lake of the Philippines,
viewed from an altitude of ! 500 feet.
The whole lake bed was once sea Of
fire and molten lava. A descent of four
lage of Talisay, where the lake gum
boat Lexington awaited our arrival.
We were aboard her in due time the
next morning, and in the early fore
noon were ashore on the island and at
work climbing toward the crater.
The grand crater is full mile across,
a bowl in the summit with a thin,
ragged edge of lava and volcanic ashes
running all around. It is 500 feet to the
bottom Of the basin. The floor is wrin-
killed. by series of concentric ridges a t
the bases of which lie extensive de-
posits of green. yellow and white sui
phur. These ridges eliminate in two
vents very near each other, though not
directly in the center of the amphi-
theater. Clouds of smoke and sitting
vapors ascend from the tunnels.
A majority of our party decided to
descend to the very edge of the elbow
holes;" asked to be counted out" I
remained with the guard who were
posted along the main ridge to prevent
a surprise from any band of insurrec-
tos which might be lurking in the Vi
cinity. The exploring party were
plainly visible at every step Of their
progress below. We saw officers and
men approach the edge of the black
and smoking shafts. A moment later
an earthquake shook the mountains.
A rumbling sound was distinctly
heard and tremendous explosion fol-
lowed. A great cloud of smoke hid
officers and men from our view. We
caught a glimpse Of them few Sec
onds later. They had begun the re-
turn at double-quick Some were near
ly overcome with the poisonous ga""s.
All were much exhausted when they
got out. They had not felt the earth
quake, but the noise of the explosion
was deafening. Capt. ellison said, with
mock gravity: 81 can never again
doubt the existence of hell, since have
been there; I shall never go there
again, II can help it,"
The volcano of Taal has a written
history of more than 200 years. On
several occasions it has been destruc-
tive to life and property. The original
cities of Lipa and Taal were utterly
destroyed by an eruption which con-
tinued for several months. in the
eighteenth century. Ashes fell in
great quantities over wide areas. The
natives rightly connect the numerous
earthquakes which shake up surround
ing provinces with this volcano.
Mr. Foreman. the historian of the
Philippines, devotes pages of his work
to an account of the most notable
eruptions. This forge of Vulcan is "a
miles from Manila as the crow flies.

The men proved to be good hands as a rule for clearing rights of way. for railroads, and with experience became good track layers So they were utilized largely in the building of the Canadian Northern railroad. and many of the com- munities received large sums of money from the wages of these men, so that 1t was not lcng after their arrival before they became self-supporting. The report quoted aLcve says they have Tn the ag- gregate 300 head of cows, and the same number Of horses and sheep.
 Recently, however, a strange wave of fanaticism has swept over part of the Dukhobor communities. The first symp- tom was the appearance of a belief among them that 1t was sinful to use animals in any way for food or clothing or labor. It was held that animals were Gods creatures and man had no right to force them to labor or to kill them for food, or to use their products in any shape for clothing. When this belief took root, many communities at once turned their cattle loose, gave up the wearing of woolen clothes, and performed all the farm labor themselves. The government was forced to collect stray cattle and sell them at auction.
 The latest development of fanaticism has been the abandonment of farms and dwellings and granaries and the march
