A BRICK MASTERPIECE.
Effect Produced With Simple Means in
London Cathedral

From the London Mail
Many persons went to the New Roman
Catholic Cathedral at Westminster on Sun
day in the hope, due to misconception, of
taking part in the opening ceremony.
The only ceremony that took place was
the admission by turnstle of such visitors
as chose to pay a small fee for liberty to
inspect the interior of the edifce. Cardinal
Naushans secretary, Mgr. Johnson. said
yesterday that the conservation of the ca
thedral Will probably not take place until
next year.
Meanwhile many persons are availing
themselves of the opportunity to visit the
cathedral, the structure of which is now
complete with the exception of the summit
or the lofty campanile, which now forms a
striking addition to the towers and steeples
OF London When finished the campanile
VIII De 20 feet high. or within 100 feet of
the height of the dome Of St Paul's
AS it at present stands the interior of
the new cathedral is the apothesis of the
common yellow London brick In material
tnere is no difference between the vast
piers and archivolts of the cathedral and
the ugly arches that run along the side of
the underground railway. But Mr.. John
FRANCIS Bently, the architect of the cathe-
ural VINO lately died in the hour of his tri-
unph, has, with mere yellow brick pro-
duced one OF the most wonderful Interiors
IN the world. Architectural experts say
Inat there are fewer finer examples of
Dy HaHtii architecture IN existence
some day the interior may be lined with
marble and MOSAIC. but at present it is
mere yellow brick, with some minor marble
pillars The walls. the piers the arches
the vast domes-all are compounded of the
yellow brick which is to be found in the
structure of the most monotonous of Lon
don houses
But the architect has so fashioned his
prickWork that the cathedral interior is
even no" grand in its severity, and has an
air of such immensely that even the in
terror OF st. Paurs seems small in com
parison. " ~

Discomfort in Greece,

Athens Cor dependence London Chronicle.
Commercial depression. public insecurity
and abnormal administration are the chie1
causes of the widespread discomfort now
distracting this country. On this point all
parties and journals are agreed and, while
people at large are not sanguine for the
near future. everybody nevertheless feels
constrained to hope that the approa ching
general election-practicaily fixed for Octo-
Der nexf-may bring some change and re-
lief. Indeed. the approaching elections
promise to be of exceptional Importance,
first because of the universal depression.
next on account of the keen struggle now
in progress between the various political
parties, and finally on account Of the new
attitude lately assumed by the crown to-
ward the constitution.

VOLCANOES IN A LAKE.
A Remarkable Body Of Water Near
the Mexican Boundary.

From the Arizona Republican.
Squire Redwine. who has been in Phoe-
nix for several days. yesterday described
smoking lake not far from the country
where he lives. The lake Is about forty
miles from the town Of Imperial and twen-
ty-one miles south OF Mexico. 1t lies with
In the Cocopah country at the base of the
mountains. even below the foothills but it
has not been there very long. It is on the
Mexican side Of 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 little else.
Within the boundaries of the new lake
there has been for several years what the
Indians believed to be a volcano. 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 Of from five
TO ten feet. Ever since the water has been
there there has been trouble and it Is get
ting worse every day. The Indians have
moved from that neighborhood, and the
whites In the settlement twenty miles north
are thinking of moving. The lake is about
fourteen miles long, but not of great width.
At first the disturbance was confined to
that part of the water in the vicinity Of the
volcano, but now the water Is boiling over
considerable part of it's area, and explo-
sions are growing more and more frequent.
People living in the neighborhood of Texico
are often awakened by them in the night
time. Eruptions are going on all the time,
but they are generally of sufficient force
only to throw up the water to the height
| of few feet. That makes no noise that
j can be heard at any great distance. But
| occasionally the eruption breaks through
| the water and shoots mud into the air at a
| height of forty feet. Whenever this hap
| pens the noise can be heard and a fame
can be seen for miles. 1t was such demon

dams away. There are boats on the lake,
and parties have started out to the vol
cano. but they have always turned back
without completing the investigation One
| party which came back reported seeing an
area or mud forty feet square thrown fifty
| feet into the air. The level of this lake Is
several feet below sea level
The whole Cocopah country has been a
volcanic region The side of the mountains
| and the country for a considerable distance
around are covered with sulphur Within
the memory of some of the older residents

MILK AT YOUR DOOR,

An example Of the efforts of the govern
snent to improve the conditions in our Island
possessions is seen in the work of the De
partment of Agriculture in Porto Rico. r.
A. Pearson. the assistant chief of the dairy
division. has recently returned to Washing
ton from an extensive inspection through
out Porto Rico. his trip also extending to
the Danish West Indies and Cuba. He
states that the dairies of Porto Rico are
still in a primitive stage. but that the island
has natural advantages. which. with little
encouragement and practical advice. will
make it an excellent field for dairy work
''In the first place" said Mr.. Pearson.

Milking Done While You Wait.


Cows. as a rule. are MIXED but once a
day. but some owners are In the habit of
milking at any time when milk Is wanted,
which may be one. two or three times a
day. A herd of seventy cows near Ponce
during the last dry season produced only
125 quarts daily. In the wet season this
amount was increased to go quarts. an
amount which could be produced by a dozen
frst-class American Holsteins. Milk Is con-
sidered an important food and is commonly
used by the people. After milking 1t Is dis
tributed promptly as possible. and in the
larger cities some is left at the little milk
shops and grocery stores. This, however,
is boiled in order to insure keeping. II
1t is not sold within seven or eight hours
it is boiled a second time. The price Of
milk ranges from 8 to 10 cents quart,
and this Is often largely adulterated by
water. in which practice Porto Ricans are
not at all behind some American milkmen-
Butter From Boiled Milk Scum.
'In the production OF butter Porto Ricans
are found more deeply ineiouded in dark
ness than in that of milk. 1t is produced
cream in a fruit jar. Frequently the
cream used consists largely of the scum
of boiled milk. Early every morning small
boys go through the streets of San Juan
calling shrilly. 'Mantequilla del pais'-coun-
try butter. One of these little statesmen
said that his stock consisted of sixty small
pats of 'ManteGuilia,' which he carried in
a pan on his head. They were sold for one
cent each. or at the rate of "a cents a
pound. The woman who made this butter
was sought out and frankly explained that
she beat the cream from the milk of her
