They are made OF camers hair. loosely

the hot sun, but not from the rain.
and In winter the encampmcnts are

1869, and was then owned by the late
Thomas Van Dyke, of near Kennedy.

public auction to Thomas Booson. who
subsequently sold it to the present
owne:.
On April 10 last Enoch King, OF Mill
ington, called on Mr.. Guest to take n
look at the old horse, and said: II am
40 years old. When a small boy nv
father lived on Thomas Van Dykes
farm and | often drove up the horses
from the pasture field, and Stonewall
as is his name, was among them. On
the day OF the nomination of Samuel ]
Tilden for president of the United
| States, MIR. Van Dyke drove the horse
to Middletown, Del, a distance of
some twenty-five miles. and. being a
great admirer of Mr. Tilden, Mr.. Van

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

IL Is not very generally known that
right In the heart of Africa at the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
Is great range OF volcanoes. They
are eight I'm number, and. though It IL
true that, unlike RukenZor they carry
no permanent snow. the highest peak
is over 14,0OO feet in height. These
volcanoes are particularly interesting
on account Of their comparative new
ness. Running through the middle Of
Africa there Is 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 n dam
across 1t. 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 Kivu rose higher and higher
until. not being able to flow over the
barrier Of the volcanoes. they formed
the Rusisi river. which runs the other
way into Tanganyika. about q hundred
miles distant OF the eight volcanoes
only two show signs OF activity mt the
present time In the form OF thin wisps
OF steam which may occasionally be
seen. but vast plain OF lava. with
wide black stream curling through its
midst, showed where formidable
eruption had taken place only two or
three years before our visit. There
are hot springs scattered here and
there. and we felt slight. shocks OF
earthquakes once or twice. SO It * not
safe to say that the Mfumbro vol,a.
noes are extinct.-Wide World Maya.
