Temperature of Volcanoes.

Scientists have secured an accurate
measurement of the temperature Of
boiling lava in a crater. The expert
ment was a very dangerous one, and it
was considered a triumph of precau-
ton no lives were sacrificed in making
the test The crater of Kilauea, i'll
Hawaii, was selected for examination.
The work progressed very slowly. For
a long time it was impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome-
tiers had been destroyed a pyrometer
was substituted to advantage. The
temperature recorded was 1.O10 de-
grees c., which is the same as 1850
degrees f. Iron is still unmelted at
this heat, but gold, silver and copper
become a molten mass at a lower tenn
perature-Harpers Weekly.

She Was Buried Alive.

Lady Catherine Wyndham, daughter
Of the Duke of Somerset, wife of Mr..
William Wyndham and mother of the
first Earl of Egremont, died las was
supposed at Orchard Wyndhams, the
family seat in Somersetshire. and was
buried in a vault beneath the Church Of
st. Decumans, near Watchet. The
sexton went down into the vault at
night, opened the coffin and endeavored
to force a ring off her finger. Lady
Catherine awoke from her trance, got
up and lighted herself home with a
lantern which the sexton had left be-
hind in the vault when he fed In ter
ror. A few months after she presented
her husband with twins, one of whom
became Sir Charles Wyndham and
Earl of decentralization Truth.

Tea Drinking In Siam.

Tea is to be found in every tent and
dwelling in Siam. There is always
kettle on the fire filled with tea and
prepared for drinking, which is done
by adding milk, butter and salt This
is their way of fixing this beverage
and is said to be pleasant after one
becomes accustomed to it. A peculiar
mode of hospitality is shown by these
people in reference to their tea 1t is
always at the disposal of every stran-
ger and traveller. He need not ask for
it. Neither is it expected that he
should, but he must have his own cup.
This is imperative, and accordingly
every one carries cup with him at all
times. Some of these utensils are mar
ves of workmanship and are highly
valued. They are generally made of
some fine grained wood and ofttimes
are lined with silver and gold.

Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are ex-
tremely truthful. So disgraceful, in
deed. do the Dyaks consider the de-
ceiving of others by an untruth that
such conduct is handed down to poster
ity by a curious custom. They heap up
a pile of the branches of trees in men,
DRY of the man who has uttered a
great lie so that the future generations
may know of his wickedness and take
warning from it. The persons deceived
start the "tugong bula''-the liars
mound-by heaping up a large number
of branches in some conspicuous spot
by the side Of the path from one vii
lage to another. Every passerby con-
tributes to it and at the same time
curses the man in memory of whom 1t
is. The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass sa-
cred duty, the omission of which will
meet with supernatural punishment

Blind Arabs of the Daaerf.

The Arabs have a saying to the ef-
feet that when you travel through the
country Of the blind be blind yourself"
and. though, like all proverbs, it is
doubtless not intended to be taken
literally, still the malady of blindness
Is so common In Algeria. especially
among the tribes that inhabit the GASES
OF the Sahara, that the traveller may
almost stop and ask himself if he has
indeed come to that country of the
blind. The prevalence of eye disease
Is due perhaps to the intense dazzling
brilliance of the desert sun and to that
complete absence of shade which must
be endured by the wandering Saharan.
The Arabs are normally very kind and
respectful to the aged or infirm, and
blind man or woman will seldom lack
an escort Of one or more children to
pilot them safely along the roads, and
who, if they are still young and active
enough to work, will assist them in
hosting their load of sticks or barley
upon their backs and see them safely
home to the humble dwelling that
shelters them.-Wide World Magazine.

Jumping Jack Tars,

The rhythmic jumping Of $50 blue
jackets saved II. M. S. Commonwealth
from the fate of the Montagu when
she ran aground in a dangerous place.
The battleship Montagu was abandon
ed as a hopeless wreck off the Cornish
coast, but her sister ship, the Common
wealth. was safely got off by the mus
cular exertion of her crew. The Com
monwealth ran on to an unoharted rock
when returning from target practice
and was badly damaged. She was so
nicely balanced in her Judgment, how
ever, that it was decided after revers-
ing the engines had failed to extricate
her to try the experiment of mastering
all the available hands on the extreme
aft and setting them to jump in uni
son. The regular jumping of twenty
FIVE tons of solidly built seamen had
had the effect of making the huge YES
sci rock seesaw fashion until she grad
ually foated off with the rising tide.
In fifteen minutes she was afioat and
saved.-Pearson's Weekly.

FIyinq Fish.

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
In number from a dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out OF the water and gaining
upon his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape.
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power Of
fight is limited to the time the tins re-
main moist

To cook potato pie at the top of q
chimney 300 feet high by means Of the
beat generated In the fires below would
seem an impossible task, yet such a
feat was on one occasion accomplished
by John Faulkner. famous Lanca-
shire steeplejack. The incident was
the outcome of a wager between Faux
ner and the manager Of a Manchester
gas works. who doubted Johns state
ment regarding the excessive heat. A
large iron kettle was procured. and
this. being filed with the necessary in
gredients-sixty-six pounds in weight
was hoisted to the summit of the huge
chimney stack. Faulkner placed the
receptacle ON the outer and coolest side
of the brickwork, but despite this the
contents were found to be thoroughly
cooked in one hour and twenty min
utes. or ten minutes less than the stipu-
lated time. Faulkner won his wager,
and the pie, which, it was said. was
slightly burned at the bottom. was
afterward distributed among the poor
OF the district.-London Answers.

try-out. Among these are mentioned
Theodore Florne, Jacob Mells, Percy
Goodair, Martin Moran, Frank Mills,
Tom Forrest and partner Dominick,
Flannigan, Carl Kellman and Carl
Wolfort. All these men may not be
actually on the ground now, but they
are figuring on doing work there.
Kellman and Wolfort are old-timers
in the country and have been taking
out grubstakes on Bear. Forrest has
a drill there and Wads expects to TAXI
another over next week.
