Castle Carrig-a-Hooley.

On the west coast of Ireland stands
a castle bearing the euphOnious name
of Carrig- Several, centuries
ago this was the favorite castle OF
Grace O'Malley, an Irish amazon, who
took unto herself the title of queen,
and ruled over several counties in a
fashion not at all in accordance with
sixteenth century ideals Of femininity.
Home rule in Ireland was demanded
even in those days. When Queen Eliza
beth offered to make the Irish maid a
countess, history reports that she an
swered proudly, II consider myself as
great queen as your majesty"
On her voyage from the English
court to her mountain domain, Queen
Grace stopped at Howth castle, and

she proceeded to teach him hospitality
by abducting his son and heir, return.

the gates Of Howth castle were to

BLUBBER A DELICIOUS WAND
eaid to BE OF Immensely Pleasant
Taste, When Eaten Raw From
the Seal.

Il has always been mystery to me
why the word "blubber" should carry
such a disa agreeable connotation to mil
lions Of people, though not one in a
million has ever tasted it, writes VIII
hjalmur Stefansson in Harper's.
I am often asked what seal meat
tastes like and am driven to saying
that it tastes like seal meat, for it does
not resemble any commonly known
type of meat. But neither does mutton
resemble any meat known to me, and
still mutton is good eating, and SO is
seal. But the fat is much easier to
describe. When the blubber is eaten
raw, as we commonly eat it by prefer
ence, it has a flavor very similar to
that Of fresh cows cream, but when
boiled 1t closely resembles the fat Of
mutton. For that reason Mr.. Wilkins,
who came from the sheep district OF
Australia, was that member Of our
whole expedition who most readily fell
into the eating Of the seal fat.
In general most men refrain from
tasting blubber because it is named
blubber, until they become SO fat hun
Cry that they are eventually driven to
trying it, and when they try it, to their
surprise they invariably find it so de-
licious that, If not restrained, they
overeat and, as is well known, oyereat-
ing any form Of fat causes nausea and
other distressing symptoms. After one
oritwo experiences Of this sort l am

eat all the blubber he wants the first

and not his own gluttony.

CRATER IMMENSE IN SIZE
Extinct Volcano Of Haleakala, In Ha-
waiian Islands, Is One Of the
Y Worlds Wonders.

The Hawaiian islands possess an
extinct volcano so immense that a
large city could be set down inside
TIE crater. It is .ninety-seven miles
around the face Of Haleakala, twenty
miles around the crater walls, and
10000 feet to the top. The crest was
ages ago blasted out to a depth OF
5000 feet, and flung aside in series
of eruptions. strewing the mountain
with powders, lava and ash.
Within the crater thus formed, a
great cone and number Of smaller
ones can be seen. 1t is so far down to
the floor Of the crater that bowler
pushed in seems to fall in empty
space. The crash of its landing Is
never heard.
The view from the crater OF Mt.
Haleakala is accounted one Of the
most wonderful in the world. The
green fields of the island and the blue
Pacific are spread out before the OBJ
server like mighty map.
At 10000 feet above sea level natur-
al phenomena seem strangely differ
ent. The stars look larger and bright
err; the moons path is more clearly
defined, and its rays give a stronger
light than they do at low altitude.
At dawn a procession Of clouds rolls
swiftly past like a foaming river tor
rent thousands OF feet below. Then
the rising sun tints clouds and crater
with steadily deepening colors until
1t is broad daylight and the clouds
fade into mist.
Standing by the crater Of Haleakala
at sunrise you perhaps RECALL the old
Hawaiian myth which goes back to
the beginning Of things. AT that time,
says the story, the god Maui imprison-
ed the sun in the hollow Of the vol
canQ and made him promise to give
light and heat to the islands. From
this ancient myth comes the name Of
the volcano, Haleakala, house Of the
sun.

! Certain bats appear 10 have found
their hooklike thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension and have
made use Of the suction principle for
this purpose. This mode Of suspen-

in two distinct bats, one a native Of

In the Brazilian species the suckers

Via Iceland.

The desire that centuries ago made
men look to the North for closer con-
nection between the eastern and west
ern hemispheres may soon be realized
by the shipment Of Canadian grain
from Port Nelson, in Hudson bay, to
Rekjavic, Iceland, there to be stored
in warehouses for trans-shipment to
Europe. The ancient Icelandic capi-
tai, dating back to the coming OF the
Mortimer in the ninth century, Will

and the grain, once stored at Rekjavic,
where navigation is practically always
open with Europe, can be forwarded
as needed. The plan shortens the rail-
way haul of grain moving from the
new to the old world by about a thou
sand miles, and the grain ships cross
ing the bay will travel a twentieth
century version Of the new route for
