| That particular club of which Jessie
| was a member met every Thursday
afternoon from . to ). After week
or so Thursday afternoon seemed long
| in coming to Jessie. You see. she was
| getting the spirit of the game. So
she was glad when she was asked to
substitute in another club. AS a result
she Joined that club also. 1t met Mon
day afternoons. SO Jessie was now
occupied two afternoons each week.
| She was fast becoming "A remarkable
player. 1t seemed incredible. but after
she won the cut-glass bowl at Mrs
Wcdger's the other women began to
regard her with awe. From that day

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES She had no
time for anything else, now. Mere
friendly calls and little affairs she
put aside; she hired a woman to help

could not play with like success enved

Harvey Maxwell accepted the new
conditions peaceably. After that one

Maffitt. lived in the city. and Orvilla
went to visit her. 1t was the first time

She was changed creature. inside

she used rice powder and Wore the
narrowest skirts woman ever stepped
in: she looked comicai at first, but
presently every woman was taking
breadths out of her skirts and sticking
her hair down over her ears. Inside
Orvilla was just as new-fangled. she
had learned to broaden her as and
clip her RS and she said that Aries was
a hundred Years behind the times and
needed an innovator. Worst of all, She
had fallen 4 victim to auction bridge
1t was the strangest thing, for Or
villa always had even refused to play
authors Nnd as if il were not enough
that she should have caught the craze
for auction bridge, she tried to give
it to everybody else. She started a
cub-she had to have somebody 10
play with, of course-and before a
month had passed the club had be-
come two clubs. After that there
seemed to be end to the eplueiliic
1t was like measles or WhOoplnS cough.
All that winter it ragged. women
played afternoons and evenings; some
even played mornings. The dress
makers were buster than they ever had
been making biouses and gowns to be
worn at auction bridge parties. Mr.
Bowdish, the jeweler, said he had
never sold SO many cut-glass bo"is
and cream pitchers while he mad been
in business. They were the prizes that
he women strove for.
Jessie Maxwell held out against the
epidemic until February. Jessie had
not been married long, and her happl
ness and her housekeeping were st!ll
so new to her that they filled her life
to the exclusion of all else. Three dit
ferent times she refused to join club.
1t seemed silly to her that lot OF IN :
telligent women should care so much
cards in her life and Harvey did not
play She laughed at all the excite
ment auction bridge was causing until
that day she acted as substitute Tor
Mrs Kerry, who was i'll. There really
seemed no reason why she shouldn
when the club met right next door.
There is a wicked old saying about be-

Jessie proved it true, for she won the

ACTIVITY OF VESUVIUS
BECOMING MORE MARKED
Prof. MalIadra and Three Assistants
Descend the Crater to Make
observations.

NAPLES, July 10, via Paris, July IA.
1850 a.m.-The activity of Mount We
suvius is becoming more marked. Prof.
Malladra, director of the royal OBJ
servatory on the volcano, today de-
scended into the crater with three as
sistants to take photographs and make
observations. Prof. Malladra found the
temperature of the lava at the edge of
the crater to be 10 degrees centigrade.
Thirty yards down the crater water
falling on the lava turned into steam
and quickly evaporated. An electric
pyrometer nearby registered 365 de-
grees centigrade. The heat scorched
the feet of Prof. Malladra and his as
sistants. making it necessary for them
to stand on asbestos mats
The explosions were deafening. and
falling cinders burned the explorers
slightly. At certain points lava sprang
up in jets yard high, these incandes-
cent fountains turning into large bub-
bles of white or gray gas. Below the
observers was a subterranean lake OF
boiling lava, similar to those found in
the Hawaiian Islands.

effects of African fever. Death was the
result of wounds received during his
twenty years service in the heart of
Africa. Mr.. Mohun was of the fourth
generation in his family to try to
stamp out slave traffic.
He had taken an active part in the
suppression of the. Arab slave trade;
had made several exploring trips, which
resulted in adding many new features
to the maps of Africa; had governed
successfully and humanely 100000 ma
tives; had substituted peaceful markets
of exchange for old forays and tribal
wars, and had assisted in breaking up
cannibalism. For his work in the Kongo
Free State and other parts of Africa
Mr.. Mohun had been decorated by the
governments Of England, Belgium and
France.
He had also been decorated by the
Sultan of Zanzibar for his work as
intermediary between the British ad-
miral and the sultan at the time of
the winning of that place by the Eng

says, the attempt proved futile because

casualties resulting from heavy ma

The world supply of potash has been

of the product already loaded on ships
