A CRATER TOWN.

Where the Inhabitants Build Ships In
side Extinct Volcanoes.
Saba. in the West Indies, is one of
the most extraordinary places in the
world. BY courtesy it is called an is
land. but it is really nothing more than
the summit Of an extinct volcano stick
ing up out Of the sea.
Inside the crater live the only inhab-
itants of Saba. They live there because
there is nowhere else for them to live,
the outside slopes being nearly as
steep as the sides Of house.
The place belongs to Holland. and
the people are all Dutch Nevertheless
they speak English as their fiative
tongue. They call their crater town
Bottom because it is situated on the
top of mountain.
Although surrounded on all sides by
the sea. they often spend weeks with
out seeing it. for that involves a long
climb up to the rim of the crater. Still
less frequently do they touch salt
water. because to do so they must, in
addition, climb downward for a dis
lance Of 1900 feet by a precipltOus
rock hewn path known as 1.-THE lad

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
It's Fearful and Deadly Work In the
Bremerhaven Explosion.

6FSmernaNGn Explosion
The greatest fatality ever caused by
an Internal machine is known as the
9remerhaven explosion, and it occur
red near the end of 1875, when a fell
low who called himself Thomas and
wac said to be an American took up
his residence with his family in Brem-
en-. His finances were at low ebb,
and to replenish them he conceived the
idea of sending to America some
worthless but highly insured packages
of goods. BY the same vessel he in
tended to ship an Internal machine,
which was to have exploded a few
DAYS after the vessel had left port.
The explosion occurred however, just
before the package was put on board,
causing terrible loss of life
Thomas. whose real name was said
to be Alexander, charged his machine
with nitroglycerin, which he had pro-
cured in America and purchased the
clOckwOrk and the case containing the
machine in Germany. The hammer Of
the clocllwork. which was to act in six
days after leaving port. was to strike
a blow of thirty pounds weight. In
his confession later Thomas said that
when testing the clockwOrk the ham
mer smashed a mahogany table.
He sent the cOntrivance to Bremen
haven to be shipped on the Mosel for
New York via southampton. He him
self took passage to the latter port,
where he had arranged to ship his
! cases Of rubbish for New York. The
| MOsel was to leave Bremerhaven on
Saturday. Dec. II. and on that day
the Internal machine was sent to the
dock. which was crowded with pOrters
passengers and their friends. For some
reason that has never been explained
the heavy case slipped from the crane
on to the wharf as it was being lifted
I'D the ships side. and the CHARGE was
instantly exploded. Death and destruc
ton were dealt around. 12S men, wO

killed. while fifty-siX others were ter
ribly wounded.
Thomas was waiting on board tn
shin to receive his case and see
slowed away in the hold, but right aft
err the explosion he went to his cabin
locked the door and shot himself in tn
head with revolver
He fingered for several days in tn
hospital and made full confession be

be to attend, or to prepare exhibits.
1t will be about two weeks before
the premium lists will be out, and
at that, most remarkably good time
will have been made in the under
taking, but it might be well to say
that in no case are the premiums Of
fered for the largest specimens in
any class, but in every case for the
best. There is q difference here that
1t is well to note. Size is an obje It,
1t is true. but size alone does not al
ways constitute merit. For in
stance. an exhibit of sweet potatoes of
good cookable size, smooth in shape,
even in size, sound in character and
of that class that would bring the
highest price in the market would be
a better exhibit than an equal guam
tity of overgrown tubers, uneven,
rough and specked.
Should Exercise Care.
There is also much to be gained by
care in preparing exhibits, and a lit
tie extra erfort along that line some
times means the difference between
being the proud posSessOr of a prem
ium and losing.

coming are a criterion many of those
