FIRES THAT ARE ASLEEP.
A Great Range of Volcanoes In the
Heart Of Africa.

1t Is not very generally known that
right in the heart of Africa at the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
is a great range of volcanoes They
are eight in number and. though it is
true that. unlike RukenZOr, they carry
no permanent snow. the highest peak
is over 1900 feet in height. These
volcanoes are particularly interesting
on account of their comparative new
ness. Running through the middle Of
Africa there is a trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great lakes
Albert. Albert Edward, Kivu and Tan
ganyika.
Not very many thousands Of years
ago the volcanoes, generally called
Mfumbiro. burst up through the mid
die of this trench and made a dam
across it. with the result that some Of
the water which formerly flowed into
Lake Albert Edward and so into the
Nile was cut OFF and lake was form
ed behind the dam. As times went on
the waters in the lake which is now
called Klvu rose hiChcr and higher
until, not being able to flow over the
barrier OF the vOlcanOcS. they formed
the RuSisi river, which runs the other
way into Tanganyika. about a hundred
miles distant. OF the eight volcanoes
only two show signs of activity at the
present time in the form of thin wisps
OF steam which may occasionally be
seen, but vast plain of lava, with q
wide black stream curling through Its
midst showed where a formidable
eruption had taken place only two oil
three years before our visit. There
are hot springs scattered here anC
there, and we felt slight shocks O.
earthquakes once or twice. so it is no
safe to say that the Mfumbiro volca
noes are extinct.-Wide World Maya

Here was a nice quandary for the
authorities. Evidently II was a most
fearful thing TO receive n tree from
abroad, and yet the consignee was
capable OF getting some one into very
serious trouble If he did not get his
tree, and he said he must have ii with

Some one at the custom house scared
above the difficulty. The tree was sent
on to STEAMBOAT on the Orient express
an eight hours journey. 1t came back
to Adrianople by the next train. and
the person for whom IL was intended
received n notice that "a tree from
Constantinople" had arrived for him

A WOMAN'S HAT.
There's a Large Pot of Trouble Brew
ing For One Milliner.


Mr. Standish WAS mad when he went
Into the millinery establishment. and
the longer he stayed the madden he
got. Presently he walked over to a
stunning black creation that hung on
u peg near the window and sa4;

Seeing guilty flush creep over the
pro fietor's face. Standish went on
with increased heat:
"She says you have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that a
stitch added to or subtracted from the
hat is bound TO ruin 1t, but l tell you
that's all nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat TO look and II

The proprietor twirled the black hat
on his forehnger and looked from 1t to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.

who ordered that hat did bring 1t back
yesterday TO be remodeled. Perhaps it
will be possible to make the altera-
tons suggested after all"
The managers humility made Stand
ish feel very proud OF himself.
That's the only way to deal with
those fellows" he said when he left
the shop. You've got to meet them on
their own level. 1t takes a man to do
that. No wonder women get cheated
out OF their very eyeteeth. They
haven't got sand enough to say the

was erected for the convenience

with many ladies and their escorts.
Down the center of the eighth mile
barn a sand track has been laid out
for speeding and showing the fast
trotters and PAGERS. To each side OF
this track and surrounding the auc-
ton box the numerous buyers were
crowded. and the prices given by them
