WINDS DIE In X ANSAS
Cool Weather and Calm over the
State-COnditiOn Improved

Topeka, April 23.-The rains which
have fallen in Kansas in the last
thirty-six hours have been followed
by much cooler weather and gen.
eral calm has succeeded the high
winds. Conditions are greatly inn
proved. Reports received at all of the
railroad headquarters here give the
temperature prevailing in the state as
ranging from AZ degrees above in the
northern part of the state to 80 above
in the southern. No rain is reported
from Nebraska, Kansas or Oklahoma.
1t is cloudy in Southern Nebraska
and Northern Kansas,
The rains which have fallen are only
sufficient to give temporary relief.
They must be followed soon by a
great deal more moisture or the farm
ers Will be unable to plant their crops.
Grass is reported as suffering from
lack of rain in many parts OF the
state. The hot windy days damage
the growing wheat a good deal, but
the rains and the cool weather have
frightened it considerably

VOLCANOES IN A LAKE.
A Remarkable Body of Watcr Near tho
Mexican boundary.

A Remarkable Body of wator Noar tho
Mexican boundary.
Squire Redwine, who has been in
Phoenix for several days, yesterday
described smoking lake not far from
the country where he lives. The lake
is-about 40 miles from the town Of I'm
perial and 81 miles south Of Mexico.
1t lies within the Cocopah country ut
the base of the mountains, even belr;E
the foothills, but it has net been there
very long.s It is on the Mexican side
oil the line. 1t used to be in California
and was supplied with water by the
Chino. River, but the Mexicans
damned that stream and the water
was turned into the Cocopah River,
which feeds the new lake and does lit
tie else ~
Within the boundaries of the new
lake there has been for several years
what the Indians believed to be vol
cano. Smoke was almost constantly
rising from the ground, but there had
been no other sign of an eruption
The water of the lake now covers the
volcano to depth or from five to ten
feet. Ever since the water has been
there, there has been trouble and it is
getting worse every day. The Indians
have moved from that neighborhood
and the whites in the settlement 90
miles north are thinking of moving.
The lake is about II miles long, but
not of great width.
At first the disturbance was con-
fined to that part of the water in the
vicinity of the volcano, but now the
water is boiling over a considerable
part Of the area and explosions are
growing more and more frequent.
People living in the neighborhood of
Texico are often awakened by them
in the night time. Eruptions are 60
ing on all the time, but they are gen.
orally of sufficient force only to throw
up the water to the height of a few
feet. That makes no noise that can be
heard at any great distance. But oc-
casionally the eruption breaks through
the water and shoots mud into the
air at height of 40 feet. Whenever
this happens the noise can be heard
and a fame can be seen for miles. 1t
was such demonstrations as these that
frightened the Indians away. There
are boats on the lake and parties have
started out to the volcano, but they
have always turned back without COM
pleting the investigation. One party
area of mud 40 feet square thrown SO
feet into the air: The level of this
lake is several feet below sea level. ~

Toward the end Of the meal, however,
I noticed that Mr.. Gladstone lost a
little of his smiling serenity, and once

IInproved Golf CaddY.

Interest is being shown by the golf
ers Of the local clubs in an improved
caddy bag, says the Providence, R. l.,
Journal. The new carrier has
round base. with steel rod running
through the centre. At the top Of
this rod is a circle of flexible rubber,
in which there are eight indentations
for holding the clubs. At the base,
which is of wood and leather, are
eight holes corresponding to the in
dentations, in which the grip ends
of the clubs rest, the top Of the clubs.
of course, fitting in the rubber at the
top OF the shaft. Through the rod in
the centre runs smaller steel one,
which is sharpened at the end, and
when the player wishes to set the
carrier down to extract club for
playing a stroke, ne pushes this brass
rod into the earth by means of the
handle of the carrier attached to the
inner rod, and whether the carrier Is
on level or. slanting ground it will re-
tain its upright position ready for tae
player to take 1t up without effort and
continue mis- play across the green.
In the woodeI base is circular cav
ity fitted to hold eight balls. One Of
the best features of the new carrier
is the arrangement for preventing the
clubs from warping. the straight
steel shaft with the base and upper
holder always holds the clubs in firm
position, and when one returns from
playing around a wet course, where
the moisture from the grass has
gathered on the shafts of the clubs,
he can still throw his carrier where
he chooses and the shaft remains
straight and even. The flexible bag
allows the clubs to warp.
