long and could carry on the stage of

tons.
In 1874 the V. II. Ketchum, then
the largest vessel on the lakes. was
produced. Excursions were run to
Marine City to see the monster
launched. The Ketchum was 1913 feet
long and carried about 1900 tons.

Yet the Ketchum earned several for
tunes. Last year she was converted
into schooner

development was in vessels of the

probably $500 tons,
Then came the Manola, in 1890,

vance to i000-ton boats. The next
great stride was made In 1899. when
the four great hin boats went into
commission. These were the nm,
Elwood, Gates and Edenborn, each

capacity.
a year ago the a. h. Wolvin set

cost the old gentleman a cent; yet

dreds of dollars.

want to buy his autographs. Being
clever, he perceived that simple sig
natures, such as you get if you write
and ask an autograph of a person of
distinction, would have no real value.

Zealand, known as "Waimangu." 1t
made it's appearance about two years

Rotomahana, whose beauties were
swept completely out of existence in
the terrific eruption of 1886. The
crater out of which the geyser issues
is fully half an acre in extent and Of
enormous depth. When in eruption
the whole of the gigantic funnel is
filed with huge column of black,
boiling mud and stones that shoots
in the air to hight of nearly 1000
feet, while the cloud of steam which
accompanies it rises in calm weather

A Tarpon Tows a Hogshead.

Times and places there are where
the tarpon have been so numerous and
SO free in their antics as to be pest
to the small fishermen. who in GER
tain bay once harpooned lordly fish,
dashed him to key and pointed him
to the open sea. Drawing the floating
barrel, he went splashing terror to his
kindred-an aquatic scarecrow. And
as the militant hogshead, fcrried by q
leaping twelve-stone fish. went march
ing down the bay, all tarpon, great and
small, took warning that they must
keep their performances within the
bounds of decency.-Country Life in
