aad been liquid fire. We were walking
on a cool crust. AS the streams of red
duid rock met the air they seemed to
become coated over with thin, gleam-

n molten metal. 1t was gruesome to
-hink what would befall us If the thin
rust gave way beneath US. But l re-

When luncheon time came it seemed
most natural to sit on the brink Of a
fire river, on d hummock of lava, and
enjoy our sandwiches while we watch
ed the heaving, rushing lava roll and
break into half-cooled cakes, to be swal-
lowed and melted afresh in the fire
stream which flowed within ten feet
of us.

Sumptuously Entertained.

To find parallel for the recent
sumptuous entertainment of the Ger
man Emperor by the Earl of LonsdaIe
and of King Edward by other British
peers and commoners one must go
back to the palmy days of the French
monarchy. To entertain a queen for a
week the Comte D'Artois rebuilt, rear
ranged and refurnished his castle from
threshold to turret, employing 800
workmen day and night. The Marshal
De Soubise received Louis XIV. as his
guest for day and night at cost of
100000. 81 hear" said his Majesty to
the Marshal, who owed millions, "that
you are in debt" 81 will inquire of my
steward and inform your Majesty" re-
piled the host, hiding a yawn behind

HIS TEST OF THE ARTIST.

Wou1d-Be Purchaser Made Sug2es-
tions Concerning a Painting.
There is perhaps lesson of some
sort for young artists in the story told
by Frederick Kost, the landscape and
marine painter, of the days when he
was just starting. 1t was at time
when things were not prospering as
he could have wished-when, in fact,
the artist was pretty hard up-that a
man wearing a great fur-lined over
coat knocked at the door of his studio.
The stranger was evidently West
erner, and man of wealth.
'Mr. Kost," he said, Il have seen
pictures of yours at different exhibit
tions, and l think 1 would like to own
one."
Then he nodded approvingly at a
landscape on the easel, and said:
'"That is exceedingly nice. But" he
added after a pause, might I make
a suggestiong'
Certainly" said Mr.. Kost. go
ahead"
"Well,' said the would-be purchaser,
81 think the sky might be changed
with advantage" and he started in to
explain the alteration which he
thought would improve the painting.
Mr.. Kost did not agree with him,
but as he wished to sell the picture
he said he would consider the matter.
And the stranger went away, prom
ising to call in few days.
Mr.. Kost went to work to change
the sky, against his own judgment, to
suit the stranger. He ended by chang
ing the entire picture to suit the sky.
In fact, from landscape, it grew
into a marine. The stranger never
turned, up, and the artist cursed his
folly in having acted contrary to COM
mon sense to please an ignorant per-
son, and so spoiled one Of his best
efforts, the result of several months of
work.
About a year later knock took Mr..
Kost to his door again, and there stood
the stranger in the fur-lined overcoat.
Being asked in, he took seat before
the easel and nodded approvingly at
a picture that happened to be there.
81 like that-like it very much" he
said thoughtfuIly. Then, after a pause;
"but may make suggestion?"
Mr.. Kost was not so angry with the
man as annoyed at the recollection Of
his own foolishness. He looked square
ly at his visitor.

tion,'' he replied.

ger.

WALKING THROUGH FIRE.

Lava Streams In the Crater of KiIauea
in Hawaii.
Compared with the volcanoes in the
Hawaiian Islands, those in the West
Indies are larger, and exhibit the phe-
nomena of nature on a grander scale
The cone Of Kilauea, In Hawaii, holds
lake Of melted rock, the outlets of
which are rivers of lava which gleam
like molten silver. In Fire Mountains
Miss G. E. Gordon-C Cumming describes
her descent into the outer crater.
We took circuitous route to avoid
the fiery breath Of the sulphur cracks.
Some of the cones are dome-shaped;
others are more open, like witches cal
drons, and curiosity compelled me to
snatch a glimpse of the fiery broth
within, although I knew that such
stolen peeps were dangerous, as at any
moment the wrathful spirits Hsight
drive away the intruder with a shower
of molten rock.
So numerous were the streams which
intersected the bed Of the crater on
this side that 1t was necessary for the
guide to keep ceaseless watch to guard
against the possibility of our retreat
being cut off.
We took our stand on an elevated
hummock of lava, and were thus raised
to the level of the lake, which had very
capriciously selected the highest por-
ton of the crater, so that all the rivers
flowed down over the steep bank.
DR.. Coan told me he had seen lava
flowing at the rate of forty miles an
hour, rushing downhill through forests
on its seaward way. confess I watch.

TWO SECRETS.

Heartbreaking Little Story Of Two
Devoted Old People.
"How's business, Eben?"
The old man was washing at the

Fine, Marthy, fne!'
Does the store look just the same,

For years Eben and Martha had

pins, and shoelaces. Two or three
holders were in his shaking old hand,
and as he stood he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of the
building. She looked over the way at
the little store. Its windows were fill
ed with fruit, and an Italian name hut-
tered on the awning. Then Martha un-
derstood. The store had gone to pay
her expenses. She turned and hurried
away as fast as her trembling limbs
would take her.
