the proceedings of the professor only
served to increase the general wonder

on one occasion, when he was camping
not on the edge OF the crater, but on
the mountain side some distance be-
low, the volcano threw up block OF
stone of extraordinary size. 1t rose IL
the air and came down within few
yards of Matteucci.
What was Matteucci doing In the
meanwhile? Running away as fast as
his legs could carry him? No. He was
standing with stop-watch In his
hand, carefully counting the seconds
during which the great mass of stone
remained in the air. It was up II sec.
onds and, by weighing the stone after
ward and going into various elaborate
computations, Matteucci was able to
announce that the stone, which had
travelled at the rate of 300 feet sec

"pust Devils" Of White Nile Valley.

Travellers in the celebrated Death
Valley of California have described
the wonderful contortions of the sand
pillars that small whirlwinds some
times send spinning across the hot
plain. Even more remarkable are
dust devils" seen by an explorer in
the valley of the White Nile. Some
times two of these whirling columns,
gyrating in opposite directions, meet,
"and If they be well matched the col
lision stops them and struggle en-
sues as to which way they shall twist.
Gradually one gains the mastery, and
the two combined rush on together"
Some of these whirlwinds will strip
the clothes from an Arabs back, or
send goat spinning round and round
like a top.

change The colleen discharged her
mission, and for want of purse tied
up the change in handkerchief. On
her way back she proceeded to ex-
anime some traps which her father
had seen on the mountain side, and
was delighted to find in one of them
a splendid hare. But then the ques-
tion arose, how was she to kill It?
She had neither stick nor stone.
Happy though, why not strangle 1t
with her handkerchief? No soon said
than done, or attempted, and pussy
was left for dead. The girl proceeded
to set the trap again. But the hare
was only feigning death; and when
the girl looked round, imagine her as
