was the route traversed by hundreds
or perhaps thousands of destructive
eruption clouds, still lie drear and
desolate, because the soil was COM
pletely swept away by the blasts,
and the material left behind as well
az that added by the eruption is too
porous for the retention of the water
necessary to restore it to fertility.
Furthermore, the rainfall of the west
side of the island is much less than
on the east side, and the region is
dried by the rays of the afternoon sun.
From Martinique Doctor Hovey pro-
ceeded to the Island of st. Vincent,
devoted to the study of Soufriere,
twelve days of the time being spent
in camp on the volcano Here, as in
Martinique, the vegetation has re-es-
tablished itself more thoroughly on
the windward than on the leeward
side of the mountain, the windward
side being that which receives the
greater rainfall and the leeward side
not only receiving less rainfall but
also suffering from the heat of the af-
ternoon sun. Considerable portions of
the Soufriere received immense de-
posits of gravelly ash from the recent
eruptions, and these are largely bar
rem at the present time. Other areas
received a finely comminuted ash
which retains water better than the
coarse material, and suffers more rap
i'd decomposition. This fine ash is
now coated more or less thickly with
moss and lichens. and often bears, in
addition, bushes, trees, and tree ferns.

JACK RABBIT GETS WELL.

Jack Rabbit continued to improve
after Mister Fox came to visit him in
his burrow, but he was still rather
weak on the morning when he started
for the first time since his illness to
visit the fox in his home on the hill.
AS he started out he thought again
of the last lesson that the fox had
taught him, and said to himself:
This walk is not going to be half so
hard as it seems, If only keep up my
courage"
Jack Rabbit had thought many
times of the lesson that had been SC
well shown by the fox, when he
walked through the spiders web, after
the beetle and the humble bee had
failed.
Mister Fox was watching for the
rabbit, and while he was still a long
way off saw him coming and ran down
to meet him.
Well, we'll" said the fox, 81 am
certainly glad to see you and looking
so we'll, too. One would scarcely
think that you had been ill at all. /

PR0PELLERS FOR HAND SLED
Two Medium-Sized Buggy Wheels
Made Use Of to Transmit Power
Pointed Nails Help.

Desiring to propel my hand sled
with power transmitted by cranks and
wheels, set about to procure the nee
essary materials. Two medium-sized
buggy wheels were found in the back
yard of blacksmith shop, which were
procured for a nominal price. The
fellies of these wheels were removed,
the lemons cut from the spokes and
nails substituted, which were driven
in their ends so that about onehalf
inch Of the body with the head project
ed, writes Justin Stewart in Popular
Mechanics. The heads were then re-
moved and the nail ends sharpened.
The hubs were plugged with pieces
of wood, whitfield to tightly fit the
holes. A hole was then bored exactly
central through each plug for a one
half inch rod. This size rod was pro-
cured and bent to form a crank, the
bearing end being threaded for dis
lance equal to the length of the hub.
Two pieces or blocks of wood two
inches square and four inches long
were used as bearings. These were
bored centrally through the long way,
to receive the one-half inch rod just
loose enough to make a good bearing.
These bearings were supported by a
pair of braces made of strap iron about
one-quarter of an inch thick and three
quarters of an inch wide. The length
OF the iron will depend on the size of
the wheels and the height of the sled
runner. The braces were shaped as
shown. The center of the bearing hole
must be as high from the surface of

suffer destruction or deep burying of
the soil.
Palms and tree ferns have regained
their pristine development and beauty
in this region, and forest trees are
growing. On the east side of the
mountain the sugar cane plantations
which flourished before the eruptions

Soufriere Crater Is Beautiful.
The great crater of the Soufriere is
beautiful enough to repay the lover of
scenery for special trip to the island.
1t is about nine-tenths of mile across
from east to west and three-quarters
of mile wide from north to south,
and lake approximately half mile
in diameter now occupies its lower
portions as it's predecessor did in the
days before the eruptions which
changed the whole appearance of the
mountain. In 1923 there was little
pool of muddy water in the bottom Of
the bowl through which disturbing
columns or puffs of steam were con-
tinually rising. In 1908 the pool was
much larger, was yellowish green in
color, and was not disturbed by any
eruptive discharges, but did not fill the
bottom of the crater.
Now The lake is apparently some
hundreds of feet deeper than it was
then, and occupies the entire bottom
of the crater, rising well up on the
vertical walls in most places. Doctor
/ Hovey was able to make careful meas
urements with the theodolite which
established the surface of the lake as
being 760 feet below the point where
the trail from the western side of
the island reaches the rim of the era
ter, or approximately 2,140 feet above
the level of the sea.
The interior walls of the crater are
coated with moss and tufts of grass
wherever there are slopes of volcanic
ash, and tree ferns and bushes are re
establishing themselves in the ravines
cut by the rains while the vertical faces
of the old lava beds making up large
part of the mountain add tones of red
| dish and yellowish gray to the color

BOOKS FOR A BOYS LIBRARY

Amid multitude of suggestions for
the twenty-fifth book in Librarian Leg
ler's list of books for boys we have
missed two that, in our opinion, ought
to be included in the library of every
normal boy, says Chicago Evening
Post. They are not books of instruc-

just ripping good stories of mystery
and adventure, and they were both
written by Rider Haggard. The boy
who has not read Allan Quatermain"
and king Solomon's Mines" has a

thrilled by the exploits of that old
Zulu warrior Umslopogaas, he is a

Doctor Hovey spent 16 days on the

were spent on the summit of the Sou

on the fumaroles were made and sam

fumaroles have been active, with va

the historic period of the volcano. A
marked increase of discharge of sui
phurated steam took place at the time
of the eruptions of Martinique and

region. The vents maintain the force

hope that the walk has not tired you
too much"
When they got to the door of TIE
fox's house, he said: Come right in
and sit down, for / know that you
must be tired, and perhaps a bite of
something to eat will refresh you a
little" The fox was thinking of the
meal of green vegetables which the
rabbit had set out for him, and he was
almost inclined to offer the rabbit
nothing to eat but the meat of a fat
turkey, which had been missing for
some days from neighboring roost.
But" said the fox to himself, that
would be an unkind thing to do to
the rabbit since he has been ill, and
suppose he forgot the other day
that foxes do not eat green vegeta-
bles."
So instead of the turkey he brought
out some green pea pods, which he
had gathered the day before, and the
rabbit thought ne had never tasted
anything more delicious.
They are the finest / ever ate," he
said to the fox, as he finished the last
of them, "and it was exceedingly kind
of you to be SO thoughtful"
They sat and gossiped the news of
the wood for an hour or so before
Jack Rabbit, rising said: Well, /
think that 1t is about time I was go
ing, for the walk home is pretty long
one and ! have to go rather slowly.
/ shall have plenty of time to think
over whatever bit of wisdom you have
to give me on my way home, although
| may not be so fortunate as to see
any application of the lesson"
Il would not overdo," said the fox,
"and you had perhaps better take two
or three days to apply the lesson am
about to tell you. There are a great
many men and a great many animals
who are never happy, and, for the
most part, they are themselves to
blame, for they have not learned the
lesson that contentment with what
we have is the greatest source of hap.
piness."
That, then, is the lesson I am to
apply" said the rabbit. 'Well, will
see how well / can do it, and saying
good-by to the fox Jack Rabbit start
ed for home.
All the way home he did not see a
thing which furnish I'd any sort of an
application of the wisdom that the fox
had told him, hut the next morning
he was awakened by the sound oil

boy holding in his hand a cap which
was worn and frayed, and he was

back his arm. he flung it as far as he

rabbit, "and all because he is discon
tented with what may be the best thai
