A MUD VOLCANO.
Extraordinary Scene on a Tropica,
Island.

Extraordinary Scene on a Tropical
Island.
Some time ago the natives of Brit
fish North BorneoA reported that a
huge marine monster kind OF oc-
tOpus-had made it's place of recrea-
ton on the Island of Libiman, which
lies some twenty miles north of Sand
akan town. The mons er was minute
ly described as to size, appearance,
and habits, and was said to burrow
deeply into the heart of the island
and throw mud and water. It had
also made track from the sea to his
hole. 81
Remembering the occurrence of
mud eruption on the island some
years ago, the governor of the colony
formed his own opinion regarding the
existence Of the supposed monster,
and when an opportunity occurred
made an examination Of the island 1t
appeared from his investigations that
the track made by the marine phe-
nOmenon was a river of hardened
mud, sun-dried and cracked till it
bore the appearance of a glacier of
gray mud, complete with its crevasses
and bou1ders, lacking only the mo-
raines and the exhilarating glacier air
to make the resemblance complete.
At it's lower and, where it debouched
into the sea, az coed quarter of mile
from it's source, the mud-river was
perhaps $50 feet broad, narrowing to
eighty feet. At it's highest point
100 feet above sea level-where it
emerged from the crater, 1t appeared
to have cut through the solid soil,
which stood up on each side good
eight or ten feet above the surface of
the mud, which was freely strewn
with small blocks of gray sandstone.
The edges of these blocks were, in
many cases, as sharp as those OF
newly broken road metal.
The crater itself, depression
about thirty to forty feet in dame
ter, was covered with crust of mud
just strong enough to bear the
weight of a man, but giving slightly
as one walked over it, thus indicating
that it was merely crust. In the
very center was a small pool OF liquid
mud, into which a long stick was
thrust without finding bottom.
Around the crater rose the walls of
mud, ten to fifteen feet high, with
large blocks of sandstone and rocks
bearing streaks of quartz perched in
such positions as proved that they
must have been hurled into the air
by the force of the eruption, and
dropped into their present positions.
The island gave evidence of at least
two eruptions, the latter of very re-
cent occurrence, having spread layer
of lighter colored mud over part of
the older stream. The latter outburst
must, however, have been of COM
paratively mild nature, for the upper
layer appears to be not more than a
foot thick, and does not reach more
than half way down the hill, while
the older mud stands at the shore,
where the sea has eaten into it, wall
some six feet high.-North Borneo

Ruler of nations for the manifold and
signal mercies which distinguish our

The Day of Than ks

With songs approach your God to-day,
Ye saints, be swift your vows TO pay
And bless the Lord
With one accord,
Whose love the year hath richly crowned.
He smiled, when winter darby frowned,
And by His gentle, balmy breath
Woke ice-bound nature from her death;
He gave the poisoning of spring,
And babe the birds their carols sing;
Vouchsafed the summers rip ming heat
And all the fruits that autumn greet.
Then haste to pay,
On this glad day,
As well We may,
The debt of love to Him We owe,
Who doth unceasing goodness show.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow

SOME MIDSUMMER HINTS.
Concerning Clothing and Cleanliness
and Directions for Keeping Rooms
Cool and Pleasant.

Women will find that they can work
wearing lightweight and ankle length
skirts, and collarless and short
sleeved waists.
Dress neatly and sensibly. To be
slovenly is to be uncomfortable as
well as unsightly.
Shampoo at least once a week. Use
warm water, pure white soap and
rinse thoroughly several times. Dry
in open air. Cleanliness of scalp,
comb and brush, is essential to hair
health.
Often allowing cold water to run
over wrists and inside of elbow joint
will help to keep one cool.
Take a cold sponge bath every night
and put on clean undershirt. Put the
discarded one in a pail of water, and
next morning wash it out and dry out
side. Cleanliness is the A B G of
health and comfort.
The writer is acquainted with a
farmer, who, not having a bathroom

self. He placed a hogshead near a
bit of wooded, sloping land, not far
from his barn. A hose connected
with the tank which supplies water
for the barn, fills the hogshead
when needed. Around the latter he
built a rude shed (roofless), for the
sake of privacy. Every warm night
he takes a plunge, a la Japanese. The
withdrawal of the bung ear the bot
tom empties the h%ogshead, and the
water drains away readily.
An invalid's room can be cooled
nicely by stretching clotheslines near
ceiling and ~suspending therefrom wet
sheets or towels. Keep room dark
and sur exposed windows and shut
ters closed.
Tight collars, carriers, corsets, shoes,
belts or any tight clothing interferes
with blood circulation and makes n
suffer more with the heat.
Wash the arm pits at least once
every day with soda or boraX water.
Violet ammonia in water is also good,
Powder with talcum. Take a salt
foot bath once a day. Change stock
ings frequently, and do not wear same
in the morning,
Follow above hints and see if you
won't be more healthy, comfortable
and happy.-F5rm and Home.
