After weeks of steady rising sf the lava in the pit of Halemaumau, the House of Fire" the molten column reached the rim and poured ever 1t toward the southeast side of the great crater, while simultaneously another lava stream burst through the crater floor some distance from the first. Hundreds of fire fountains began play ing on the numerous lava lakes and sheets of flame gushed internationally from beneath the crust surface. Along the main line of the old rift which the new few is following, sev- eral lava cones of small craters have formed and these add to the weird scenes with their laundering blasts o1 steam and fire.

WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY
Weakens the Body. for Its Daily Fight
for Health, and So Destroys
Good Looks.

Every minute that a woman spends
in worry, weakens the body for it's
daily fight for health. It adds age,
it causes deep burrows to appear on
the forehead, it Injuries the digestion
and robs life Of all pleasures and
peace. So if you wish to keep your
good looks, don't worry.
Work gives incentive, and thus life
and health, to the organs of the body.
It strengthens our will, teaches us
patience, perseverance and the cour-
age to endure. It.. has been the sal
vation Of many. The homely duties
that are performed by the house moth
er each day, the sweeping, cooking
and home caring, are wholesome du-
ties which lead to health and strength.
But if women allow their daily
tasks to fret and worry them, they
lose all of the benefit they otherwise
would gain. It Is not always the ac-
tual work that wears out the nerves
and temper and ruins the disposition.
It is the spirit in which the work is
done which allows worry to creep in.

ANT LION TRAPS HIS PREY
Remarkable Ingenuity Displayed by
Small Creature in Securing Food
Especially Favored.

One of the most crafty. of insects
IS the ant lion larya. This tiny crea-
ture dotes on ants of all sizes and
species, and as it is not swift of move
ment it must trap its victims. It does
this by making cone shaped pit in
the sand. These pits are about an
inch deep and two inches across.
When it is complete the ant lion bures
itself in the very center, with only it's
head and strong curved mandibles in
sight. It then patiently awaits the
curious ants Ants are Paul Prys, and
have tremendous curiosity. The lit
tie depression attracts their attention,
and they come to its edge and peer
down into it.
The larya at once starts into a fury
Of action. It begins digging opera
ton and at the same time hurls grains
of sand in all. directions. The sand
thus tossed begins to roll down the
depression and carries with it other
grains Of sand until miniature land
slide results. The curious ant is caught
in the slide and goes tumbling down
to the center where the hard, sharp
mandibles Of the lion seize 1t, and the
poor victim Is shaken back and forth
until it is dazed. whereupon the lion
proceeds to dine with relish, tossing
the empty husk of body outside the
hole, once the meal Is over.

vorite game cock under his arm, and
all are converging upon the cockpit.

Earth is Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely slow, but all the
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours, Or
daylight increasing with the advancing
year, but to days as timed by the
revolution Of the earth on it's axis.
The earth's power of rotation says
writer in the Popular Science
Monthly, is growing weaker and as a
result it's revolution on its axis is
slowing up. Which means, Of course,
that the day is lengthening. 8
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day will be equal in length
to the year; that is, to the time it
takes for us to revolve about the sun.
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luminary,
just as the moon now always turns the
same face toward us, and one-half of
our planet will have sunshine all the
year. while the other half is in5total
and permanent darkness,
That is, if the sun still is shining.
It may become dim and chilly orb
before then.

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke Of cumber-
land, Was the Sensation OF
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. 2S, 1889, at, the ripe
age of 25 years, received his name on
account Of his being born during an
eclipse Of the sun, and it became curl
ously significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed. .lsl5
Eclipse was bred by the Duke of
Cumberland, a brother of George III,
and afterward became the property of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be
queathed the animal, along with all
his brood mares and other horses, to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account Of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near Epson.
In those days it was not the custom
to insure the lives of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that a carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him..
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was Of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds. -Chicago Journal.

"LosW Lincoln a Mystery.

An oil painting Of Abraham Lincoln,
25 by 80 inches in size, rescued sew
eral years ago from pile Of supposed
ly worthless furniture taken from the
old Red Lion inn in Philadelphia, to-
day forms mystery over which there
is much discussion by artists. After
its rescue the picture was hung in a
Philadelphia residence where paint
er, Baruch NJ. Feldman, happened upon
it and purchased it. He began the
work of reclaiming 1t, and after the
dirt had been removed the portrait
stood out, clear and well defined in all
its features.
Artists who have seen the picture
are agreed that the character of the
portrait is such that the suggestion
that it might have been painted from
a photograph is rendered absurd. Who
painted the 'Iost" Lincoln is mys-
terry, and there is no mark or sign to
give those studying it clew that
might lead to it's Identification.

Shows kinderuarten's Value.

The Importance Of the kindergarten
as an Americanizing influence was
urged by Maj. Bradley Martin, presi-
dent Of the National Kindergarten as
ISOLATION, at the recent regional citi-
zens' conference in New York.
1.-THE kindergarten" said Major
Martin, 'is obviously the ideal means
of Americanizing the family through
the child; as the child through sing
ing patriotic songs and playing games
with other children and receiving
moral and ethical instruction, not
only learns our language, but also
adopts our point Of view and becomes
a patriotic citizen; and through
mothers meetings and home visits the
family is assisted by the kindergarten
teacher in the difficult task Of adapt

Plant ImpaIes Insects.

There is in Cuba curious grass,
cenchrus echinatus, which bristles
with tiny sharp pointed spikelets upon
which multitudes of insects are i'm
paled by night as well as by day.
The wings of the victims are pierced
and entangled by the barbed spines,
so that the most Of them are unable
to get away, and thus perish miser-
ably.
Even large, luminous swapping
beetle, which is so strong and active
that it can with difficulty be held in
the hands, falls a.. victim to these
vegetable bayonets. It has been OBJ
served, however, that two species Of
insects, large bug, oebalus, and an
earwig, readily free themselves from
the spines. Minute insects are not
caught. The grass does not appear to
derive any nourishment from it's prey.
1t is found elsewhere in the West
Indies and In southern Florida.

NEBULA SHOWS SOME SPEED
Body Flying Through the Heavens at
Rate of Two Thousand Kilome-
Ia ters Second.

The Lowell observatory In Flagstaff,
Ariz., has held stop watch on the
fastest moving object ever discovered.
The spiral nebula catalogued as No.
5S4, Dreyer's catalogue, constellation
Of Cetus, is flying through the heavens
at the rate OF 1000 kilometers sec
ond. An airplane going at this speed
would circumnavigate the earth at the
equator in less than half minute.
The spiral nebulae are the swiftest
moving objects in the known universe,
but no one has ever before been de-
tected shooting through the heavens
at much more than half the speed Of
5S4-Dreyer-C -Cetus. Most stars move
slowly and sedately along at about
100 kilometers a second. What is per-
haps rather humiliating to us earth
dwellers is the fact that 5S4-Dreyer-
Cetus is moving in the direction away
from our own earth and sun.
OF course the speed of light, which
Is nearly 100000 l1ilometers second,
makes the speed Of the spiral nebulae
seem Insignificant But light does not
have to "carry weight" whereas the
nebulae, though perhaps an extremely
dfffuse and tenuous form Of matter,
are none the less material objects Of
quite considerable ponderosity. So,
until we get later news from the celes-
tial racetracks, we can state that the
spiral nebula in Cetus Is the speedi-
est thing coming down the celestial
