DoMINIcA's BOILING LAKE.
Curious Natural Phenomenon That
Was Not Discovered TIL
the Year 1875.

Mr.. Sterns-F adelle, Of Dominica, has
Just published little book giving some
interesting information recently OBJ
tanned about curious natural phe-
nomenon in Dominica, one of the Less
er Antilles, reports the New York Sun.
This island is only POI square miles
in area. 1t was colonized by the Span
iards in the seventeenth century, and
peopled later by French immigrants.
who controlled the island uninterrupt-
eddy until the eighteenth century, and
its resources have since been exploit
ed by English and French; and yet its
natural curiosity in the northern part
of the island had never been seen or
heard of until % years ago.
This can be explained only by the
fact that the peighborhood of the boil
ing lakes of Dominica is difficult OF
access. The lake was discovered by
an Englishman, DR.. Nichols, who Or
ganized an expedition to explore the
unknown part of the island.
One day his little party were clam
bering up mountain. They sudden
ly came upon evidences of sulphur, and
moment later stood looking down
into a crater which was filled with
boiling water.
Sitting vapors rose from the agi-
tated surface. rumblings Of thunder
came from the subterranean regions,
and near the center of the little lake,
where the water was most violently
disturbed, the furious boiling lifted the
surface ten or twelve feet above the
general level. The lake was constant
ly fed by several small brooks that
poured from the heights above the
crater.
Mr.. Sterns-Fadelle says that the lake
is still boiling. 1t has been found to
be at an altitude of 2.49O meters above
sea level. In form it is elliptical.
When it is filled with water it +
about 200 feet long and less than 10
feet wide. Its depth is Unknown. An
attempt to touch bottom was made
80 feet from the water edge. where. at
depth of 1875 feet, no bottom was re-
ported.
The water is not always in move
ment. At certain times the surface Is
calm and glistens under the rays of the
sun.
At other times it is violently agf-
tated and boils away, exactly like q
big tea kettle. But, instead Of the
singing that accompanies the ebulli-
lions in the kettle, the boiling fluid in
this caldron is accompanied by the
gruffest and most unpleasant detona-
lions. Little waves roll up on the
narrow shelf of sandy beach, which is
covered with scum of sulphur.
The boiling lake is the center Of the
present volcanic activity of Grande
Soufriere, or Diabolin. mountain COW
ering an area of about five square
miles. The lake is one Of the last YES
tiges of volcanic energy left to the big
mountain, which within the historical
period has had no great outbursts.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures The
hest thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu.
monia, one OF the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven ir many
thousands of cases in which this REM
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

Nevada Divorces
Illegal.

The United States Supreme Court has
just rendered decision that in effect
nullifles Dakota and Nevada divorces.
1t decides taat colorable residence will
not do. The applicant must not be per-
mitted to get around the law by an in
direction. He must take up residence
with a bona fdc intention OF becoming
a permanent citizen Of the State. II he
leaves the moment he has secured di-
vorce the implication is that he never in
tended to become citizen OF the place,
and in that case the State never acquired
jurisdiction over his martial affairs. That
knocks on the head great many Cali
fornia marriages made at either Reno or
Carson City, and leaves such people as
have married since, and their name is
legion, under the unpleasant situation
of being bigamisrs. How they are to re.
leye themselves of the odium they have
incurred it Is difficult to see. Probably
most of them will do nothing and let
lulupb RO ~ tHdt. Dub tndt COufec may
prove fruitful of future trouble, Prop
erty rights would unquestionably be-
come involved, to say nothing Of the loss
of social standing OF the parties. Per-
haps the best remedy would be to begin
divorce proceedings over again in reg.
ular and legal way. The Supreme
Courts decision is far reaching, aud rem
ders the divorces obtained ia not a few
States Of questionable legality. Nevada
and Dakota are the most notorious
wrong -doers, but there are others not
much better. II the discussion of the
question should give vitality to the
movement in favor OF uniform Federal
divorce law for all the States, that will
in part atone for the shockingly mud
died condition OF affairs. 1t is not credit
able to highly civilized nation that the
legality of its marriages should remain
in doubt, or that they may be SO easily
sundered IA Is at present the case in all
too many OF our States.-S. F. News

Battle with Moonshiners.

Mayking, KY, April 2O.-In a
pitched battle between revenue officers
and moonshiners at Elkhorn Creek, al
daybreak yesterday morning, James
Moore, desperate and moonshiner,
who terrorized eastern Kentucky for
years. was mortally wounded William
Moore, his brother, was slightly wounded
in the shoulder. John Morgan Potter,
pioneer moonshiner, gave up in the
thickest of the battle. Alex. Van
Over, another sinner, and his brother
Martin Van Over, Is years old, and
perhaps the youngest sinner in the
United States, next gave up. Deputy
Marshals James Asher, John Asher
and Bart King took the prisoners to
Whitesburg. KY. On their arrival at
Whitesburg, Marshal Asher attempted
to paint the town red. Taking the
main street he paraded up and down for
some time looking for fight. At length
meeting John p. Morgan, he drew his
pistol, on him, and had Asher not been
held would have killed Morgan. Morgan
swore out warrant for Asher and
placed it in county iailer Bony Ison's
hands. Ison proceeded to Asher's
boarding house, to arrest him, when
Asher opened fire. AT his third shot,
Ison drew his revover and shot Asher
and he fell dead to the floor. For
time the greatest excitement prevailed.
County Judge Lewis ordered Captain
John A. Webb, of the Kentucky State
Guard, to call out his men, and quell
the lawlessness. Captain Webb re-
sponded last night and the town of
Whitesburg, was guarded by the militia
for the first time in its history. A
rumor from Elkhorn Greek states that
another battle has taken place as one
hundred shots were heard in the noun
tains.

Railroad Accident.

New York, April 20.-Two ladies and
one child, names unknown, were killed
and five other persons seriously injured
by a collision between the New York
and Chicago Limited and freight train,
on the main line of the Erie Railroad,
at Red House, eight miles west of Sala-
manca at 3:05 o. clock thismorning. Five
of the passenger cars were totally wrecked
and that more were not killed or injured
is considered nothing short of a mirac-
ulous. The Erie officials here report
but three killed, two ladies and child,
who occupied sleeping apartment, and
who were bound from Youngstown to
Clean. Five cars of the passenger
train, they say, were totally wrecked.
General Passenger Agent Cook received
dispatch shortly before II O'Clock
stating that in addition to the three al
ready reported, killed, two coach pas
sengers and brakeman on the freight
train also lost their lives.
jamestown, N. Y, April 2O.-Five

wreck on the Erie passenger Tram NO. 4,
at Red Honse, eight miles west of
Salamanca, n. Y, about 4 o'clock this
morning, the train, fast eastbOund
passenger, ran into the rear Of freight.
The freight was delayed in making Red
House siding by broken coupling.
The sleepers were burned. Three bodies
have been recovered but are unrecog-
nizable. Medical assistance has been sent
from this city.
Buffalo, n. Y, April 2O.-A special
from jamestown says: Two more un-
Unidentified bodies have been taken from
the Erie wreck making seven in all, all of
them so badly as to render Identification
impossible. A FIRE engine and hose
company from Salamanca was sent to the
scene OF the wreck to extinguish the
flames. One of the seriously injured
men has been identified as E. G. Gabler,
an express messenger from Marion,
Ohio. The number of injured who were
removed to the Salamanca hospital, is
smaller than at first reported.
