CRATER LAKE.

A Drowned Out Voleano-lts Waters
Are 1000 Feet Deep.
The new Crater lake, National park,
In oregon, already bids fair to rival
as a resort for the tourists the famous
Yosemite valley. People are begin
ming to visit in great numbers, attract
ed by the unique and spectacular seen
ic features which it offers, and the APP
proach to 1t, hitherto somewhat diff
cult, Is being made much easier by
railroad now in process of construction.
Crater lake gets its name from the
fact that 1t occupies the crater of an
extinct volcano. Five miles in diam
eter and nearly circular in shape, 1t is
the deepest body of fresh water in
America. Soundings have fixed its
depth at 1900 feet Only one lake in
the world, that of Baikal, Is deeper-by
400 feet. In other respects, however,
it Is altogether unique. Encircled as
1t is by almost vertical cliffs. which
are reflected in the clear and brilliant
blue of the water, it presents to the
eye a spectacle unsurpassed.
AS a great natural and scenic fea-
ture of this country Crater lake ranks
with Niagara falls and the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado. 1t is unique and
in its way unrivaled. There are in the
United States hundreds of extinct vol
canic craters, but this is our only
great one.
Think Of it! This mighty hole in the
summit Of the Cascade range is near
ly six miles in diameter and over two
thirds of a mile in depth. Once upon
a time it was filled with boiling lava.
| Today it contains a beautiful lake of
fresh water, which is encircled by a
ring of precipitous cliffs from 500 to
$500 feet high without break or out
! let.
The extraordinary depth of the lake
naturally led to a widespread popular
belief to the effect that it had no bot
tom. 1t is a familiar kind of delusion.
Any small body of water, wherever
found, whose bottom is beyond reach
by the longest fishing line is sure to
gain the repute Of being bottomless.
Within two miles of New Haven,
Conn, is a cleft in the hills that is oc-
cupied by a large pond called Lake
Saltonstall. Though considerably less
than 200 feet in depth, it is declared
by people who live in its neighborhood
to have no bottom. No wonder, then,
that Crater lake, with an actual depth
of 1000 feet, should be imagined to
possess no floor whatever!-Technica

Big Fec For a Sermon.

-Four thousand nine hundred dollars
for one sermon! It's enough to make
even the most prosperous clergyman
envious. That was the fee that the
preacher at Elberfeld, in Prussia, re-
ceived for his sermon on Whitsunday,
which lasted only an hour. In 1890
Baron Favort, a wealthy Frenchman,
provided in his will for an annual SER
mon to be preached in the Protestant
church Of the town. The day fixed is
the first Sunday in June, and the quail
fication to obtain the prize is that the
preacher shall hold one of the poorest
parishes in the diocese and that he
shall extol the virtues of the bene-
factor.

Religious Suicide.

A new and strange phase Of religious
fervor seems to be spreading among
the Buddhist monks In Burma. 1t is
religious suicide. The pioneer Of this
mania was a monk devoted to ecstatic
meditation until the desire seized him
to be free from earthly passions. So
he repaired to a pagoda and wrapped
himself in thirteen monastic robes be-
sides his own, having first saturated
them with oil. He then sat cross
legged on a bit of leather, lighted the
oil and remained firm, fervently pray
ing. AS soon as the smoke arose all
the monks and people near by came
rushing up to him, but none thought of
putting the fire out or of helping the
unfortunate man in any way. They
looked on till the fire ended and then
carried the body away and gave it a
very fine funeral.-Straits Echo.

the time Montgomery was reached. This includes transfer bills poster bills, hotel bills and the like.
 Now If this particular company played to bad business for one cause or another three or four nights in suc- cession on the way to Montgomery. the manager of small means would go un- der. Montgomery would not see the of- fering. The small manager, no matter how good his production, Is down and out. There's no chance for him.
 Now under such existing conditions why should any manager wish to take company on long tour when he car get an engagement in . Philadelphia theatre for six weeks, one in Pittsburg following for three weeks, one in Chi cago for six weeks. and so on in the large cities further West?
 Theatres In large Southern cities arc therefore dark for days, and sometimes weeks. at a time. Managers are timid. They find cheap companies do not pay, and If anything elaborate is attempted. finacial failure is the result in a great many cases. His Majesty will not be pleased with anything, the manager is pleased with few, If any, audiences of the presnt season.
 Result! stagnation of things theatri- cal in the South.

Romance and Comedy Important Fac
 tors in Success of "The Traitor"
 'SThe Traitor" the dramatic sequel to- "The Clansman." dramatized by Charming Pollock and Thomas Dixon, Jr, from the latter's powerful story of the last days of the Ku Klux Klan, will be. the attraction at The Grand Saturday matinee and night. The old adage that All the world loves lover" Is absolutely true. The world will also aways pay to see and hear laugh making situations and lines People must laugh and they will go where they can laugh even if banks fail and business goes to the bow VOWS for laughter is the handspring of health. Love and laughter are the two things that make life worth liv- ing and there is plenty of both in "The Traitor" This play Is especial ly recommended by all reputable phy- sicians for thin people who wish to add to their avoirdupois and for all those who suffer from dyspepsia and kindred ills and in fact for every one who needs a big dose of medicine. There is also enough thrill in this play to awaken every faculty of enjoyment. There is no section of the country that affords such possibilities for the playwright as the Southland for 1t IS the home of romance. of laughter and
 
 the Ku Klux KIan Is the most dra- matic in modern history as was prov en by the unprecedented success of ''The Clansman" The interest in this mysterious organization which was aroused by Mir. DIxon's former play Is sure to attract multitudes of the- atre-goers for the scenes attending the dissolution of this famous order and the organiza ton of ignoble limitations are pregnant with dramatic possibil- ities. These are utilized to the fullest extent in The Traitor" No story of reconstruction days can eliminate the relations of the races in the South but "The Traitor" brings moro into prom thence the white man who followed in the footsteps of Benedict Arnold. In the South the seallawag and buff falo was more bitterly hated than was the alien carpet-bagger While these types as presented in the play are in- teresting the chief interest centers In the perfect specimens of Southern manhood and womAnhood portrayed. One of the best characters in The Traitor" is that of 6 rough uncouth, but true and loyal mountaineer.
 The scenic settings in which the ac- tion of this play Is developed are more elaborate and beautiful than any util- ized heretofore for any play of the South for the scenes are laid in that section of the country that has become known by the poetic appellation of The Land of the Sky" probably the most picturesque spot in the United States No expense has been spared in transferring to canvas the rare beauties of nature that are found in this region. and every efort has been made to Reproduce the quaint atmos- phere of the latter days of the Old South, No detail, however small. has been overlooked in the endeavor to obtain accuracy in scenery. costumes and accessories. Like ''The Clans man" The Traitor" should also be- come a classic of the South.
