ISLAND POPS UP AND SINKS.
Effect Of a Submarine Volcanic Eruption
on the African Coast

\ remarkable phenomenon has recently
occurred in WaltiSh bay on the west
coast of South Africa. The bay is IL
commodiouS and spacious inlet, giving
access TO the two chief rivers of that
part of Africa. 1t owes its name to the
numerous schools of whales that former
ly abounded there.
The bay is largely cut off from tho
ocean by peninsula extending north
ward The end of the peninsula is called
Pelican Point, ard it was in the waters
near this point that the people living on
the shores of the bay saw very strange
sight when they arose one morning.
They saw lifted above the waters near
Pelican Point n new island. 1t was
about 100 feet long and 80 feet wide,
and rose to Il height of Ii feet above the
sea Its sides were steep.
Some boats filed with men from the
shore approached this new bit of land
and found that it was composed entirely
of mud SO stitt in texture that the men
could walk easily on the surface. 1t
| was mud, pure and simple, but the sur
| face was rapidly hardening The people
gave it the name of Mud island.
| The island was destined to very short
| existence. The day after 1t was discov-
! cred il began TO sink, and seven days
! later it had entirely disappeared from
| view.
An article on the appearance and dis
printed by the South African Philo-
sophical society of Cape Town. f. w.
Waldron, the author, says there is no
doubt that the appearance of the island
was due to a submarine mud volcano in
the neighborhood of Pelican Point
The phenomenon was accompanied by
unusual exhalations Of sulphurous gases.
which have often been observed in that
neighborhood. He believes that the large
mortality OF fish in Walfish bay, OBJ
served from time TO time. is due to these
eXhalatiOns.
The island was due to enormous guam
titles of mud issuing through oritices on
the sea floor. The mud was spread
around and piled up until it finally APP
peared above the water as an island.
With nothing but mud foundation to
support the great weight the lower part
of the eruptve matter gradually spread
out and the large mud bank sank again
below the surface.-New York Sun

Go and study the rose" advised the
specialist.
The pretty girl did as she was told,
and the result was fine complexion.
And this is what she did:
She made rose leaf pillows not heavy
with spice, but full Of soothing scent.
These were for the nerves for the tired
out senses and for general soothing pur-
poses.
Then. too. she studied the mysteries Of
a good rose jar.
There are jars that are called sweet
jars. These are for the sweet seeming
of the halls and parlors. They are nice
in the dining room, where they can be
opened and stirred a few minutes before
meals. and they ere exquisite upon the
verandas and in the sleeping rooms.
Such great sweet jars are made by the
matrons of England, who put them up
every year as regularly as they put up
their jams and marmaades.
The effect upon the nerves. the mind
and the temperament is good. The sweet
jar pays for itself in doing away with
family wrangles 1t acts as a great
soother upon the family tempers.
But more important than the sweet jar
is the aromatic jar. This is made with
rose leaves for a foundation. bu, il does
not stop at rose leaves by any means

pinks. And they breathe cinnamon and
