HAWAIPS FAMED VOLCANO.
kiIauea Could Pose az Model Of the
Informal Regions.

Of the volcano OF Kilauea who
shall speak? Approach it as cyni-
cally as you like, you Will be star
tied from your Indifference. 1t
will be strange if YOU do not feel,
looking down into that pit, many
comfortable wells stripped off your
swathed mind. A naked human
emotion is a great and terrible
thing to encounter, sometimes a
thing to turn ones face from.
But this is even more appalling.
You may clutch first off at the easy
metaphor Of hell. Kilauea is not
like hell; it is worse-worse be-
cause there is no moral significance
in it to knit our souls to such a
spectacle. Dante's eighth circle,
with its barattieri sunk in boiling
pitch, was part of mighty plan,
physical result of moral facts,
comprehensive, its very hideous-
ness dependent on the historic three
score years and ten of mortal life.
You can avoid hell by being good,
and even if you descend into it you
will have human company. But this
has nothing to do with vice or vir-
tue. 1t makes naught of moral
values. You squat on that rim and
stare 700 feet down into Halemau-
mau-the inner pit of kilauea-
and history is superseded. The sui
phur stencil blows up now and then
like a great wave and drives you
gasping from the brink. You wan
der about the lava bed for little
(you could wander on that same
lava bed for miles if you chose) and
then return.
The simple fact of Ralemaumau
is pit some twenty acres in ex-
tent that seethes and boils inces-
sanity. Every few moments an acre
of solid lava rises up out of the
caldron, is sucked back into the
scarlet waves and molten again be-
fore your eyes. In another corner
of the pit a fiery fountain bursts
like a great geyser. The worst Of
it is that you can hear it. The pot
seethes and boils and groans in
yorr yerv oare FOR all the 700 feet
between you and it.
And if you cared to make mis-
step you could bound from little
ledge to little ledge, straight into
the mutter and fame of it. I leave
you to imagine the spectacle of
Kilauea when the sudden tropic
night has fallen on the vast crater
of which Halemaumau is only the
deepest pocket.-Katharine Fuller
ton Gerould in Scribner's.

Rinqs That Touch.

A clerk in a downtown jewelry
store was being instructed by his
new employer. "When man comes
in to buy wedding ring always ask
him if an engagement ring viii be
worn with it and what carat it is.
The two should be the same. If the
engagement ring is eighteen carats,
say, and the wedding ring is four
teen, as they rub together the soft,
er ring will show the wear and usu-
ally just under the stone, which be-
comes loosened. We have had to
reset hundreds of diamonds for this
very reason. New York Sun.

Mistakes of Early Geography.

An American geography printed
in 1912 contains this interesting in
formation: California is a wild
and almost unknown land, covered
throughout the year by dense fogs
On the northern shores live anthro,
pophagi, and in the interior are ac,
tive volcanoes and vast plains OF
shifting snow, which sometimes
shoot up columns to inconceivable
heights"
The book adds that some of these
statements would seem incredible
were they not so well authenticated
by trustworthy travellers.

Brother Jonathan.

Brother Jonathan as a national
name for the United States Of
America is generally understood to
have originated as follows Cover
nor Jonathan Trumbull of Con-
necticut was often looked to by
Washington for advice and support,
and so great was the assistance rem
dered by him that Washington was
fond of referring to him as the
'frst of patriots, my brother Jona'
than" Very naturally the name
was transferred to this country it
self, and before long it was widely
popular.

Clearing Houses.

The function of clearing house
is to enable bankers to exchange
drafts, bills and securities, thereby
saving much labor and trouble and
at the same time curtailing the
amount of floating cash that would
otherwise be required. By means
of the transfer system made posi-
bic by the clearing house .transac-
tions to the amount of millions are
settled easily and expeditiously.

Red Flannel Currency.

A Scotch missionary to group Of
small islands in the south Pacific q
great many years ago found bits Of
red flannel circulating as money.
This currency came to them in a
curious manner. The body of a
shipwrecked sailor had drifted
ashore, and to the untutored saw
ages, who had never before seen
clothing of any kind, his red flannel
shirt was an object of wonder and
admiration. By common consent
they cut the garment into small
pieces, which thenceforth became
the currency of the island.

French Scots.

There is an ancient settlement OF
highland Scots, near Murray bay,
on the St. Lawrence, which has
adopted the French language in
stead of English. 1t was formed Of
disbanded soldiers soon after the
British conquest of Canada, and Of
fcers and men intermarried with
the French Canadians, adopting
their language and habits so COM
pletely that, though they bear such
names as Blackburn, Warren, Nc
Lean and McNicholl, their depend
ents are in all other respects as
French as the inhabitants around
them.
