LANDING AT R%AKAHANeA.
4 Risky Feat and One That eersiy
Tries tho Nerves.

4 Risky Feat and Ono That 9orely
Tries the Nerves.
Rakahanga is a little coral atoll in
the south sea, not very far from New
Zealand. Few people ever visit it,
and to judge from the account in MI.
Frank Burnett's Through Tropic
Seas" Of the difficulties that attend a
landing there none would care to go a
second time.
At Rakahanga the feeling Is that
only by a miracle can a safe passage
be made through what, by a stretch
Of the imagination, is called the en-
trance to the lagoon. Imagine a once
good entrance INSTRUCTED by a wall of
coral rising to within a few feet of the
surface Of the water. This coral wall
Is built by that wonderful creature,
the coral polyp. Over it break with
inconceivable fury huge ocean pillows
that travel with the speed of race
horses, lashing and churning the water
into a milk white foam and with a
deafening roar throwing the spray to
such a height that it may be seer miles
away.
The backwash of every breaker
forms, on the outside of the wall of
rock, a chasm fathoms deep, which is
again filed up by the next rushing
wave. To cross the abyss and reach
the quiet shelter Of the lagoon is a
difficulty that the islander shows the
greatest skill in surmounting.
His boat-a long, low, fiat bottomed
affair, built much like a halibut dory,
manned usually by six paddlers be-
sides the steersman-is brought to the
very verge of the boiling caldron, and
there it is held till the opportune mo-
ment arrives. Since that sometimes
does not occur for five or ten minutes
the passenger has plenty Of time to
reflect upon his misdeeds, to survey
the sublime scene and to wonder how
In the world that fearful turmoil of
water Is to be crossed.
The delay does not tend to compose
his nerves, but if he is observant he
will notice that about every five or
six minutes three giant pillows in
quick succession roll majestically in.
When the last of the three has passed
and the chasm has been filled up the
paddlers give a frightful yell that ter
rifles the unsuspecting passenger al
most to death, dig in their paddles and
shoot the boat forward like an arrow
from a bow.
Before the backwash can re-empty
the chasm the boat is across. The
passenger has hardly time to grasp
how it is done before the paddlers
have sprung to the reef and pulled
the boat clear Of the next roller, usu-
ally a small one.
In entering the lagoon the chief risk
Is that Of an upset after crossing the
chasm and u ducking in two or three
feet of water, but on going out, if the
boat does not reach the smooth water
before the next succeeding swell
breaks, woe betide it and it's crew. for
nothing will prevent its being swamp
ed and carried, with all hands, back
into the awful abyss by the thrush of
broken water, out Of which only the
strongest and most skilful swimmers
car emerge.

Roots For Dairy Stock.

BY care in preparing the soil and
growing the crop. from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-fve tons of roots. like mangels, ruta-
bagas or stock carrots. a be grown
per acre. They can be stored under the
feeding alley or in a pit outside Of the
barn at very little expense. Twenty
tons Of roots will supply ten cows
twenty pounds per day each for 200
days and can be grown and harvested
at a cost of less than $40. The nutri-
ents contained in twenty tons Of roots
are worth $50 when bran is worth $50
per ton. so the feeding value Of the
roots is sufficient to pay for the cost Of
production. besides the additional ad-
vantage Of their supplying the succu-
lence needed by the animal.-Home and

The Truth About Icebergs.

Many existing theories regarding ice
bergs require modification. For in
stance, it has generally been believed
that for every cubic foot of ice above
water there are seven below, and a
berg, therefore. that towers, say, 100
feet above the ocean level has a total
height of 800 feet. Lieutenant Peary,
the conqueror of the north pole, de-
clares that this is not always the case.
ut is true" he says, "that the heaviest
portion of the berg is submerged, but
1t is wrong to say that seven-eighths Of
its height is under water. l have noted
several instances where only two-thirds
Of a berg is submerged."-St. Nicholas.
