On the Island of Costa Itico is the re- mnrkahle volenno of Pons. The ernter bus an altitude of about 8,500 feet. The traveler who makes the ascent on reaching the lip of the crater finds him self at the brink of a vast perpendicu lar sided jilt, at the bottom of which lies n motionless pool of yellowish wa ter. The sense of deadly stillness and desolation is undisturbed by any indi cation of life. The almost vertical walls are devoid of even a vestige of plant creation; not n bird wing- iis way through the air, the surface of the [tool Is without a ripple, and even the hu man voice sounds strange and Incon gruous. Suddenly the silence Is bro ken by a great and startling under ground rumbling, and a huge column of a dark colored liquid Is thrown to a vast height from a spot near the center of the lake. The column ordinarily rises to a height varying from 250 to 5oo feet. Almost Instantly a vast cloud of vapor is evolved which surrounds the column and rises to an Immense height. A thousand feet below the lip is the lake or pool, along the shores of which It Is necessary to move about with care because of numerous concealed holes tilled with a slimy substance, consist ing mainly of sulphate of lime with a large excess of sulphuric acid. This hardens In a few moments when ex posed to the air, and consequently the pits are covered with slight shells that render It almost Impossible to dis tinguish between them and solid ground. If a foot goes through this thin crust It will bo found that in a few days Hie shoe will be destroyed, as the scams cannot resist tlie acid action. The lake at closer view Is discovered to he covered with clouds of vapor and It Is Impossible to see for any distance. Among other gases, sulphur dioxide Is present In considerable quantities, and at times the smell becomes almost un bearable. At close rnngo the water Is grayish In color, nnd It Is so add that It almost hums the tongue when tasted. Any dark doth moistened with the liquid In stantly becomes red nnd is ultimately destroyed. The temperature at tlie shore, while varying considerably, ranges around 115 degrees F. During one of the greatest eruptions known a tremendous column of dark liquid rose to an estimated height of 2,<XNi feet and was about 300 feet In diameter. Tlie waves produeixl on the lake by such an outburst are formidable, nnd long after the eruption lias ceased the whole cra ter Is illlcd with the roar of the troubled waters.—Chicago News.

The country people of England, as well ns of several other countries, have an Idea that the red of the robin’s breast was caused by a drop of blood which fell upon it at the crucifixion. According to the story, the robin, com miserating the condition of Christ, tried to pluck the crown of thorns from Ills brow, and, In doing so. got Its breast wet with the blood flowing from the wounds. The color became permanent, being transmitted from generation to generation, and thus, according to the legend, the robin is a perpetual re minder of the sufferings of Christ. Sn«hbiwlilit-** In liuxt. A dog fancier once took exception to Professor Huxley's assertion that “one of the most curious peculiarities of the dog mind was Its Inherent snobbish ness, shown by the regard paid to ex ternal respectability. The dog who harks furiously at a beggar will let a well dressed man pass him without op position." lie said that, in fact, only dogs of well dressed persons act so. Dogs accustomed to men In rags bark, not at beggars, hut at persons clothed In sleek broadcloth. K indncMS.
