knocked out, boards loosened and the
house was badly shaken. The barn
also suffered A stone weighing about
100 pounds was thrown into the air
and crashed through the roof of a
rc,ghl or's house The inhabitants OF
the inhabitants OF the whole town were
terrified by the blast.
The authorities are investigating the
matter. but have no clue To the guilty
parties. Mr. Reamcr has resided in
the town several years. conducting a
general merchandise business. He
does not know OF any enemies and has
received no threatening letters, and is
at loss To- account for the attempt

The Woman's Home Companion For
October.

An important article in the Octo.
Der. Woman's Home Companion is
entitled "SeekiDg Shelter in New
York;. give dollars in my purse,
a few plain clothes 10 my bag, an
ordinary school education behind
me, and New York, with its bound
less opportunities, ahead of me-"
that is the beginning of the ad
ventures in New York of Lucy
Green. They are real adventures
of a real girl, who tells her story to
readers of the Companion.
This October Issue is particularly
rich in fiction, having stories by
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Harrison
Rhodes Octave Thanet, Nellie
McClung, Margaret Sutton Briscoe,
and especially good stories by
Irving Bachelor and Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins.
There is perhaps no more i'm
portant question to the average
American than the one of owning
or renting home. The results of
the most careful investigation and
the experiences of thousands of
Americans are given in a series of
articles. on this subject, which
begin in the October number.
Of special interest are Kellogg
Durland's intimate picture of the
life of the Tsaritsa OF Russia, and
DIR. Woods Hutchinson's article.

A W0ND
New Zealand's Belt of Geysers Of
Boiling Water.


If one can imagine furious and ac-
tive volcano with crater a thousand
miles in extent, sunk level with the
earth and thinly covered with a screen
of soil, one has some idea of the awe
inspiring wonderland Of New Zea-
lands north island. You cannot poke
a stick into the ground without start
ing a boiling spring, and wherever
You turn the ground is fairly alive
with geysers of boiling water-steam
jets and blowholes, with quivering vol
canoes and gurgling "mud potts." all
colored Enthusiastically with rainbow
hues, ranging from brilliant sapphire
to vivid scarlet Stranger still, the
entire face of this region is constantly
changing in shape and color, and there
are hot springs here stretching in a
continuous chain for 300 miles. The
ground throbs and quivers with vol
canic activity, and set in the midst of
it all are native Maori villages of sur
passing interest, a strange race of
magnificent savages. who, although
they have been cannibals within the
memory Of man, are now highly in
telligent race and actually send rep
resentatives to the parliament in We'll
lington
The native women, gorgeous in gar
ments of crimson, green and purple,
are forever putting stolidly at big
pipes and going hither and thither
about their household work with the
Quaintest of babies slung across their
backs. This reminds me that domes-
tic work in this strange region is
made light indeed for white house
wives as well as the Maori women.
Every garden and back yard has its
hot water provided by nature.
And when these easy going people
grow hungry the mother prepares a
meat pudding or a joint and drops
it into convenient pot Of natural
boiling water In the earth, and in
few minutes 1t Is cooked. The same
conveniences are still more in evil
dence on washing day. Stepping care
fully through tangle of boiling gey-
sers and gurgiing mud pots, one sud
denly comes upon great collection Of
native women and girls doing their
washing in vast smoking lake big
enough to have steamers on it.-W.

Can w. Pull AnythinoY

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng
fish scientist, said in lecture that
there is no such thing as pulling. To
speak of horse pulling cart was, he
said, incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart. 1t pushed against its collar
and thereby produced motion in the
cart. Similarly the oarsman pushed
the water, and the man drawing a
handcart had to clasp the handle, and
the driving force was caused by the
part which clasped the handle and was
therefore behind it. Even If the cart
was fastened to the mans coat tail he
did not pull it. He pushed against his
clothes.
