FIRST UP MOUNT EREeUs.
Antarctic Volcano Climb Described by
 Daring Explorer.

When we had settled down in the hut we begun to turn our speculative eyes toward Mount Erebus. The as- cent of the mountain had been regard ed as very difficult if not impossible {: but there was no doubt that if it could be climbed the scientific results would be most valuable, and we de- cided that the attempt should be made.
 I selected Professor David Mawson and MacIay to try the ascent of the summit. They were to be provisioned for ten days. and a supporting party. consisting of Adams Marshall and Brocklehurst, was to assist the main party as far as possible. Eventually the whole six reached the top of the mountain. When they reached the crater edge-the first men to reach the summit of Erebus-they found themselves standing on the lip of the vast abyss, filled with a rising cloud of steam
 After continuous loud missing sound, lasting for some minutes, there would come from below a big dull boom, and immediately great globular masses of steam would rush upward to swell the volume of the cloud which sWayed over the crater. The air was filled with the fumes of burning sul- phur. Presently a light breeze famed crater stood revealed in all it's vast extent and depth. It was between 800 and 800 feet deep, with maximum

On the wall of the crater op- posite to the party beds of dark pum- ice alternated with white patches of snow, and in one place the existence of scores of steam jets suggested that the snow was lying on hot rock.
 The party ascertained the height of the mountain to be 13,350 feet, and found that the moraines left by some gigantic ancestor of the great ice bar rier ascend the western slopes of the mountain to a height of fully 1000 feet above sea level. As the adjacent sea is at least 309 fathoms deep, the ice sheet when at it's maximum develop ment must have had thickness of not less than 2,s00 feet-Lieut. k. H. Shackleton, in McClure's.

Not a Good Quality Combination.

4 man brave enough to hold up a railroad train and all the employees on board. and stand off three guards with revolver while blowing open a safe at the same time, and then compelling the cowed guardians to help him carry bags of money up the mountain, and vet fool enough after all to carry off only $65 worth of pennies, leaving thousands of dollars worth of money of lighter weight. affords a fine illus tlation of lifes ironies. Probably he was more fused" than he appeared to be. If the men in the mail car with him while he was blowing up the safe had made brave attempt to reach the rifles almost within their reach, they would very likely have found out that he was nearly as scared as they were and perhaps have saved their manly pride from shame as well as the $65 which was lost.-Waterbury Amer ican.
