NATAL MAN TELLS
OF HUGE GEYSER
Says He Saw It Spout to Height
of 1000 Feet.
HERE TO STUDY RAILROADS
HAS GREAT FAITH III FUTURE
OF THE RAND.

G. Nation of Natal, South Africa, &C
eompanied by his wife, is registered
at the Knutsford He came in yester-
day morning from San Francisco en-
route to New York on a tour of the
world, having left Natal last February.
Mr.. Nation is the traffic manager of the
sole railroad system of that colony,
and while in this country viii study
American methods of operating rail-
roads.
En- route to this country Mr.. Nation
stopped at ROtOrua, the principal city
on the north island of the group con-
sttuting New Zealand. While there
he took occasion to visit the famous
mountains about thirteen miles from
the city.
Geyser Is a Monster.
The geyser is noted for two features
possessed by no other phenomenon of
that character 1t has a crater cover
ing an acre and a quarter, and seldom
throws a stream of water less than
500 feet into the air. 1t spOUts once
every thirty-six hours The day Mr..
Nation and his wife visited the spOUter,
il broke its own record by throwing
a column of water more than LOCO feet
into the air. The column was the size
of the crater. The eruption was so
terrific as to carry up with the water
tons of rocks and dirt Some of the
stones thrown to the top of the column
Of water weighed over seventy pounds.
Unlike the geysers in the Yellowstone
National park. the Waimunga spOuter
throws up water that is almost black.
it is so dirty. Occasionally there will
be streaks of crystalline water in the
column as it is thrown upwards by the
hidden power in the bowels of the
earth.
Has Great Faith in the Rand.
Speaking Of the mineral wealth of
the Rand, Mr.. Nation said last evening
that half the reef has not even been
prOspected. He looks for a future for
that mining country which will far ex-
coed the record it has already made.
When he left Natal Mr.. Nation said
many of the mines We're working less
than half their capacity owing to the
inability of the mine owners to secure
native labor. White men can not work
in the mines. At that time there was
talk Of importing natives from other
parts of South Africa to mine the ore.
The visit Of Chamberlain to South
AFRICA was complete success. Mr.
Nation said; judging from the manner
IN which he was received wherever he
went. He was made the lion of the
hour, and was courted and feted from
the hour he landed at Cape Town until
he set sail again for London
Mr. ChambeTlain's visit to South
AFRICA did more good for that country
than twenty years of parliamentary
legislation, said Mr. Nation

AS holiday it is the season OF expan-

celebrates the best part Of the Chris.

that the best time for making gifts
was when necessity called, opportun-
iy invited, or impulse urged but

HARDENED CRIMINALS.

GCIENTIFIC. successful robbery
~ means cool heads and steady
hands" With this observation, an
assassin and thief, youth barely 81
years Of age, caught with the stains
OF his deeds upon him, introduced an
extended dissertation on the subject
with which he was most familiar. He
seemed to have no regret either as to
his choice or the end Of the deal. He
did not show the faintest signs either
of resentment or contrition. He told
everything with the utmost irankness
saying that he went deliberately into
the game, played boldly, and lost, and
expressed the desire to be hanged
quickly. One shoulders that such a
monstrosity is alive. Lacking moral
perception he is an idiot and the state
would be neglectful of its own duties
if it does not Immediately rid itself of
him. The faint within him is a heri-
tago and is not the result of training
or environment.
The appalling feature OF the affair
is that this man is but one of group,
all OF whom seem as depraved, and yet
not all so wholly devoid Of conscience.
TO be a successful robber would re-
quire cool head and steady hands,
but there is no such thing as success
full robber. The penitentiaries are full
of men who thought they had the
requisite qualities. There are those
in high office who think they are Gun
ningly betraying a trust. Many have
gone mad to graft and loot. But no
amount of shrewdness and neither
the cool head nor steady hand can
stay the coming of the fatal day.
There are fools who regard criminal
as hero because he possesses the ele-
ment of courage. There is nothing
"Nhh'A"oiS 81 a SouidSC SuiuCu W OuSC
uses. There is no success in robbing
bank and becoming an exile. There
is no success in holding up a train
and going about ever with price on
the cool head, and the steady hand
close to trigger. There is no success
in appropriating funds that are pablo
property to lose the standing and re.
spect OF decent people and always
afterward stand in the shadow Of the
bars. There is no success in crime
Such has been the lesson and life his.
