The Crater of Mount Etna.

A writer in Forest and Stream, tell ing of his view of the crater of Mount Etna, says: threw myself fiat upon the ground with my head over the rim and took look down into what the Sicilians call the mouth of hell. A vast column of steam was shooting up into the heavens. This was so inpreg- mated with sulphurous fumes that was obliged to keep several thicknesses of my shawl over my mouth and nose to prevent strangulation. Occasionally a blast of wind would drive back the steam, allowing me to see far down into this horrid inferno The crater itself is three miles in circumference. The inner side of the rim was varie- gated with colors of red, orange and yellow from the sulphur fumes. A Mil ton or a Dante could not do justice to the terrific grandeur of the scene. Ac- cording to the ancient Greeks and Romans, this is the workshop of Vul- can, where he forges his thunderbolts for love. I could not see the old fellow, but the rumbling sound I heard far down in those black depths must have been he grumbling at his work.

PASSING or FAMOUS HOTEL.
Hld ship at Greenwich, Notable for Nearly 200 Years, in Re-
 ceiver's Hands.

The Old Ship hotel at. Greenwich, one of London's most historic inns, has fallen into evil days, partly due to, several bad seasons, the recent war, he death of Queen Victoria, and rainy summers The Old Ship has not seen prosperity and now an official re- ceiver has been appointed. It is dif1- cult to believe that the life of the Old Ship is at close. The time was wher two of the most fashionable hostelries were the Old Ship of Greenwich and the Star and Garter of Richmond. It was no uncommon thing to see coaches and carriages standing in a long line far away along Greenwich road, while the smart people of the day partook of whitebait luncheons or dinner. It was there, too, where the members of the government held their periodical whitebait dinners round big horseshoe table in quaint old- fashioned room on the first floor, which visitors never fail to look into At these ministerial dinners there always was an inversion of parts and sub version of authority, which recalled the licensed holiday of Athenian slaves. The junior member of the gov ernment, often callow youth in the twenties, was placed in the chair, and the exalted officers of state, for that one evening, were under his control. Every one was called upon to do something quite out of his line. The serious man was commanded to make jokes, the sentimental man to sing a comic song, the facetious man to offer a few remarks on the incidence of tax Rtion.
 One characteristic incident Is re- called. The late Lord Derby was called upon by the waggish chairman to propose toast to the ladies, where upon Lord Derby rose and pronounced the request an extremely Ashy pro- ceeding, and collapsed with roar of laughter at his stupendous witticism, while everybody sat staring at him in amazement. The history of Old Ship as favorite resort of ministers dates back as far as 1727
