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

Mr.. Sterns-Fadelle. 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
or Antilles, reports the New York Sun.
This island Is only POI square miles
In area. It was colonized by the Span
lards 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 neighborhood of the boil
Ing lakes of Dominica is difficult OF
access. The lake was discovered by
an Englishman, DR.. Nichols, who or
yanized an expedition to explore the
unknown part of the island.
One day his little party were clam
bering up a mountain. They sudden
ly came upon evidences of sulphur, and
a moment later stood looking down
into 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-F adelle says that the lake
Is still boiling. 1t has been found to
be at an altitude of 2,490 meters above
sea level. In form it is elliptical.
When it is filled with water 1t is
about 200 feet long and less than 100
feet wide. It's 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
calm and glistens under the rays Of the
sun.
At other times 1t is violently agi
tated and boils away, exactly like a
big tea kettle. But. instead of the
singing that accompanies the ebulli-
tons in the kettle, the boiling fluid in
this caldron is accompanied by the
gruffest and most unpleasant dstona-
tons. 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.

wells show pressure Of at least 120
pounds per square inch, which is enough
to carry the gas to any town in Eng
land The other advantage is mat,

The Grain Louise.

AS the ravages of the Hessian fly or
grain louise were so bad in this section,
J.P. Matheny, Esq, wrote to Clemson
College for information, and the follow
ing is the reply of the Entomologist:
Clemson College, S. c., March 16, 1908.
Mr.. J. P. Matheny, Bamberg, s. 9.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 14th inst, ad-
dressed to the Experiment Station re-
latiye to the work of small insect upon
oats has been referred to me. From
specimens received from correspondents
in Bamberg and adjoining counties, you
must be suffering like them from the
ravages of the grain louse. This insect
obtains it's food by inserting q pointed
bcak into the leaf or stem and sucking
out the sap, which causes the grain 10
shrivel.
I don't feel as though can recommend
at this season of the year any practlcal
remedy although it has been demonstrated
by experiment that on very young
wheat and oats, it is possible to keep
them within bounds by spraying with a
strong decoction of tobacco or by the use
of kerosene emulsion.
Fortunately in nearly every instance
when the insect is abundant 1t IS greatly
reduced in numbers by the work OF para
sites which do their work SO etfectually
that if the outbreak is not entirely
checked it will seldom be repeated the
following year During the outbreak of
this insect, oats land should be avoided
in planting fall wheat and all volunteer
oats should be carefully destroyed.
Yours truly, CHAs. E. CHAMBLIss.

Marvellous Escape from

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any OF
the other diseases that aflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Minn., after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says
"For thirty years I have been a great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that
almost prayed to lay it down. Twas bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until l was almost
crazed. I am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years.
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use.''
