Sumatras Marvelous Voleane
There are many mud volcanoes
scattered throughout the world, but
there are few whose action is no regu-
lar and so characteristic as that of
Dempo, in the island of Sumatra. This
marvelous volcano. about 10.900 feet
in height, was visited recently by a
correspondent, who thus describes it;
All was quiet and placid and I sat
down a while to ta^e in the detas of
a scene so novel; a vast circular Whin,
half a mile in diameter, with rocky
sides of sheer precipices, displaying at
places horizontal strata, and at the bot-
tom of this snother smaller basin, some
200 feet in diameter, filled to within
about thirty or forty feet of Ita rim,
with a smoking substance, like bur-
niehed silver, which reflected the blue
sky and every passing cloud. We had
Mt thus for about ten or twelve min-
utes when I noticed that the center of
the white basin had become intensely
black, and was scored with dark
streaks.. This area gradually increased.
By steady scrutiny with my glass, far it
was difficult to make out what was.
silently and slowly taking place, I at
last discovered that the .blackness
marked the aides of a chasm that had
formed in—what I now perceived the
white burnished mirror to be—a lake of
seething mud. The blackness increased.
The lake was being engulfed. A few
minutes later a dull, sullen roar was
heard, and I had juat time to conjecture

end I served aa in-
terne in a New
York hospital and
spent a year as as-
elstant physician in an insane asylum
before going, abroad for study in Ger-
many.
On my return to New York I soon
built up a fine practice which repaid
me for all my work of preparation.
A physician baa, necessarily, all
sorts of pepple among his patients, but
it is not often that a man like my
friend Alfred Van Bruler goes to one
for advice. However, he was ushered
into my private office one morning and
he came on professional bueiness. Van
Bruler had a splendid physique, was
handsome as Montague, and like him
an actor; adored by the women, praised
by the critics and lionised generally.
'His strong, healthy appearance gave

who possessed a sound mind la a sound

The popular belief that bull fight*

aloud, then for one moment covered
my face with my handa and in that

fancy that it had become %. reality
which could not be dispelled by
laughter or scorn. Going to the door
I locked it as if to secure the great-
Mt privacy.
“Remove your shoe and let me make
an examination,” I commanded.
He did so and I found the toe in per-
fect condition, except that the nail had
been trimmed a little too abort. I had
no doubt that this was the cauee of
the dream which had produced auch
an effect. His brain, for some reason
not clear to me, was in such a condi-
tion aa to render this dream so vivid
that he had accepted it as reality. Ae

I had known of a somewhat aimliar
case at the insane aaylum. A patient
conceived the Idea that his head was
turned backward and "indicted upon re-
verting hia clothing, buttoning every-
thing in the back, and even walking
backward. The physieian waa finally
obliged to humor him by giving his
head a severe wrench “to turn it

he wds satisfled to don his apparel in
the customary way.

Besides being in the heart of the
wildestand least accessible region of the
Sierra Nevada, Mount Brewer attatna
an altitude of 13,886 feet—a very giant
of the range. Its sides are seamed with
mighty gorges, strewn with boulders of
stupendous size and covered with
flinty tee and snow, the accumulation
of ages. The peak ia formed of two
jagged points of rock about fifty feet
apart, the hollow between forming a
sort of Mddls, the spot which Prof.
Brewer chose for the resting-place of
the record of his ascent in this shal-
low depreMion he erected a monument
of granite boulders, and in the center
of the mound thus formed he placed
the bottle wherein he had sealed the
writing that told of the results of hia
scientife reseorchea. There he left it,
and for thirty-two years the snow,
undisturbed nthe feet of human-kind,
drifted over the heap of atonea and pro-
tected it alike from the glare of the
summer suns and the sweep of the win-
ter winds.
The exploring party, which consisted
of Joseph Le Conte (son of Professor
Le Conte), MIm Helen Gompertz snd
two young ladies resident of San Fran-
cisco, left this city early in July, their
objective point being the summit of
Mount Brewer, and their object the
search for the record of 1864. .They
traveled by rail to Fresno, where they
provided themselves with provisions,
camp equipage and the necessaries of
mountain climbing. They then pro-
ceeded by wagon to Sequoia Milla, far
up on the western slopes of the Sierra
Nevadaa; and then with burros for
pack animals they threaded the high
passes that lead from the western slope

Six hours of this soul-trying work
brought the intrepid explorers to the
base of the peak itself and there they
encountered what appeared to be an in-
surmountable barrier. The peak was
but a hundred feet above them, but to
gain it an almost perpendicular wall of
rock fifty fee’ high had to be acaled.
Great as was the difficulty, it was final-
ly surmounted.- but not without re-

little party clasped hands and joined
their voices in a cheer.

My right leg became rigid and stif. the
lointa refusing to perform their func-
tions in any degree. At length the
Mina attacked my left leg also, and
it waa fast becoming aa bad as the
other. I also suffered in the shoulders
aad arms, though not so badly aa in
the tower limbo.
“About the first of March laat. I read
kn article on Pink Pills, and while very
dubloun aa to the result. I concluded
to give them a trial I used one box
without deriving any benefits as I
could see, and was about to abandon
them when, at the urgent solicitation
of my wife, I concluded to try one more
box anyhow. Before the second box
was uned up, I thought I, could ex-
perience some slight improvement In
my condition. Like a drowning man I
speedily grasped at that one straw of
hope. I ordered other boxes and con-
tinued the systematic use of the pills
as directed, my improvement, from the
beginning of the third box, being most
marked and rapid. The rigidity and
stiffness soon began to disappear from
my leg, the excruciating pains became
gradually less, my drooping spirits re-
vived under the exhilarating prospect
of getting well, and before a great
while I was able to go to work. I
have not yet discontinued the pills. I
have just ordered the sixth box. which
I think will be the last. I feel that I
owe my life to this extraordinary
preparation, for I don't sne how I could
have lived under the almiost incessant
torture I was enduring, 'It is n6t
strange, under the cireumstances, that
I should lose no opportunity to tell ay
friends about this remedy and to urge
upon all amicted as Iwas, to give it
a trial."'
