had invested their whole fortune in
land, building and stock, and had need
ed a couple of hundred dollars to carry
them along until profits began to ac-
crue.
For Ethel the sun had always risen
and set where Grandpa Harding was );
Grandpa Harding had always had the
tenderest spot in his heart saved for
Ethel. So in the hour of need they
went without hesitation to the old man,
and without hesitation he opened his
purse and lent the money. That was
In May.
The 5000 carried them through the
summer, and as the tide had apparent
" turned and trade begun to come
Billy went to the city in September
and spent the rest Of the money in adj
ditiOnal autumn and winter stock.
He had planned to insure, but there
was much stock he wanted-and the
insurance could wait few weeks. In
six days the new stock had arrived,
and on the eighth day it and the old
stock and the shortcomings, profits
and prospects-went up in smoke and
flame.
The DawsOns had been living in two
little rooms back of the stors, AMI
these, too, were gone. Luckily they
saved some furniture, and before night
Billy had found a tiny cottage and a
bit Of land for rent on the edge Of
town. Billy, who could turn his han1
to almost anything, hired out" to build
the fireplace and chimney in a new
house over in Burlington.
"Now, don't worry" Ethel said I'VE

just as cozy as can be, and live on
what we earn. Isn't it lucky we dom
owe any more? Only that 5000 70

said Billy, especially to a relative.
But l do feel safe with grandpa. Still,
We'll hurry to pay it back as fast rs
we can"
That was the Dawson side.
Ethel wrote to Grandpa Hardin
about it, and expected a jolly letter
back; but instead, it was Grandma
Harding who wrote to Ethers mother,
and the letter was most discouraging.
Your father is extremely detected
over the loss of the 5000 he lent EtheI's
husband. He says he will never again
lend or invest money with relative or
a neighbor-that it was quite what he
might have expected, after his previous

AWFUL HEAT IN VOLCANOES.
melted Rock Attains n Temperature
of 1000 Degrees f.

melted Rock Attains a Temperature
OF 1000 Degrees f.
In a recently published volume on
volcanoes Professor @. Doelter under
takes to tell why volcanoes have erup-
lions. Melted rock such as is flung
from Vesuyius requires a temperature
or 1900 degrees Fahrenheit. so that
1t becomes liquid only far down in the
earth, perhaps sixty or 100 miles. Be
low the outer crust Of cooled and
solditied rocks there must be larger
zone Of rock which still remains solid,
because its temperature is less than
that OF the melting point correspond
ing to the pressure under which it
rests, and below that again there must
be rock or magma in state Of fusion;
1t is to this magma that Professor Doel-
ter looks for the primary source of all
volcanic activity. At the same time
the depth at which this primary res
ervoir Of magma lies and the pressure
under which it is confined are so great
that direct eruption from it is in
conceivable, but when by movements
IN the everything crust or otherwise a
channel is opened the magma may rise
to depth where it is surrounded by
rock at lower temperature than the
melting point. In these circumstances
qualification begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
of steam, of carbonic acid and other
gases are evolved, and the course Of
every lava stream is marked by clouds
of steam evolved from the cooling
lava. At one time-and the idea is
still cOmmon-this steam was suppos-
ed to have been derived from sea water
which has obtained access to the
molten lava while still underground,
but this explanation is now generally
rejected being impossible in some
cases and inadequate in all, and the
greater part of the steam and other
emanatiOnS from volcano are now
regarded as directly derived from an
original store in the interior of the
earth. However this may be. it is GER
tain that the magma from which vol
canic lava is derived is not merely in
a state Of igneous fusion, but is COM
bined with water and gases which are
given off as it solidifies, and by their
escape frequently form miniature vol
canoes on the surface of lava streams.

The camp was seventy miles from

to keep pace in the long grass with
the runners on the track and, having
selected the most appetizing member
Of the party, to pounce upon him and
carry him off into the bush.
On one occasion when out maDmak-

party of a dozen lions, possibly the
man-eating troop. Mr.. Hinde fired
twice, dropping two Of the beasts. He
then suggested that Mrs. Hinde should
ride back to camp while he approach

After riding for half an hour Mrs.
Hinde looked back and saw six Of the
lions following her. The two native
gunbearers ran away, leaving her I'M

from camp.
She set off at a fast gallop, the sails
running by her side. In their path
