CRATER LAKES.
Eastsr Island Has a Wonderful One,
and 80 Has Java.
Wonderful lakes are often found in
side tbe craters of volcanoes. One of
these can be seen upon Easter Island
—the Island which bears wonderful re
mains of an unknown ancient people.
Inside a crater is a lake, near the bor
ders of which lie several unfinished
crowns composed of tufa, evidently
destined for the huge figures on the
shores of the island, but never com
pleted. And on this lake float many
waterfowl, one of which is said to be
a goose unknown to science.
Another curious crater lake existed
until recently within the icebound cra
ter of a volcano In New Zealand. The
water was heated to boiling point, but
a short time ago an eruption of more
than common violence tossed the
whole lake into the air.
A most Interesting crater lake can
still be seen in Java in tbe volcano of
Papandajan, and It Is possible to enter
the crater and gaze down on the scene
below. Standing on the rim, one can
see tbe vast seething mass of boiling
mud. Every now and then a wave of
mud moves heavily along the sides of
the chasm, only to fall back into the
molten mass, and here and there col
umns of sulphur thrown out of the
lake of mud are gradually forming
walls. It Is indeed pleasant to escape
from this dismal inclosure to breathe
the free air once more.
ISOLATED ISLANDS.
Lonely Tristan da Cunha Gets Outside
News Once In Two Years.
Though scientific progress has made
It possible to do a double journey be
tween England and America in a fort
night. there remaiu many islands with
which it takes years to communicate.
Ofif the Scottish coast are the groups
of islands known as the Hebrides, Ork
neys and Shetlands. Of these the most
isolated island is St. Kllda, some three
miles long and two miles broad. The
inhabitants lead lives of great loneli
ness, for it takes a month to get to
the next island, and the sea often
makes any communication with St
Kilda impossible for months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
In the Pacific has a total population of
only 158, while another little bit of
tbe British empire is Fanning island.
This is a landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable, and usually there are
about 100 people in the place.
The loneliest of all parts of British
territory is tbe island of Tristan da
Cunha. in the south Atlantic, which
is also tbe smallest Inhabited island
in the empire. It is 1,800 miles from
land, has a population of seventy-four
Scottish Americans, and the inhabit
ants get news of the outer world
usually once every two years.—London
Stray Stories.
Recognized.
A Pennsylvania lawyer known
throughout the state for his sharpness
once met bis match in a very unex
pected quarter.
An old woman was being cross ex
amined by him as to how the testator
had looked when he made a remark to
her about some relatives.
“1 don’t remember. He’s been dead
three years." she answered testily.
"Do you mean to tell me that your
memory is so bad that you cannot go
bnck three years?" demanded the at
torney.
The witness was silent.
"Did he look anything like me?” the
lawyer finally ventured.
"Seems to me he did have the same
sort of vacant look." responded the old
lady.—New Orleans Picayune.
To Make Business a Science.
The science of selling offers a great
field for study for the department of
commerce and for the many business
schools which are springing up in our
colleges. Commerce is not mere money
getting: it is a science, as banking and
law and medicine are sciences. It
should be studied as such, for with
such study comes not only greater ef
ficiency, but a higher standard of
ethics as well. There is no more press
ing public service to be done than the
discovery of the best ways of reducing
the cost of distribution and of elevat
ing business to the standards of a pro
fession.—World’s Work.
Thoughtfulness.
“Lady." said Plodding Pete, “would

has Jes’ bit a piece out o’ my leg an’ I

Washington Star.
One Way to Get It.
“I have come to your town to get
some atmosphere in my new story."
“Well, if you go right down the
street and turn to the right, then keep
on to the first engine bouse on your
way. they’ll probably lend you their
pulmotor’’—Baltimore American.
Pleasant Outlook.
“Well, dearest. I’ll speak to your
father tomorrow. You might put him
In a good temper for me.’’
“Yes. I’ll be so beastly obstinate that
he’ll bi» postively grateful to you for
taking me off his hands.’’—London
