Plays Hide and Seek. "Bogoslof of the Aleutian Islands, which belong to the same chain of volcanoes as Augustine, Is famous for Its activities. The Island was discovered In 1790 but Its strange habits were not known until nearly a century later. At first Bogoslof was a single Island. Then suddenly appeared a companion island which its discoverers caller Fire Island. They were Joined by a narrow strip of land. "In 1900 the American navy reported that the 'hyphen' had disappeared and two unattached Islands appeared above the water. In 1905 a new peak appeared at Bogoslof, thus adding another bit of land to Alaska, to which Bogoslof belongs. Two years Alaska's later, however, territory was diminished when McCullock peak of Bogoslof disappeared, leaving a splendid harbor. Since, another peak has also disappeared In the sea. "A nearer neighbor of Augustine than Bogoslof, however, is Mount Katmal, on the Alaska peninsula, whose explosion In 1912 was one of the most tremendous In history. Instead of sinking, it 'blew its head off.' Two cubic miles of mountain top were blown away. Some of the debris was scattered over hundreds of square miles of nearby land and sea; but a being disappeared, large portion blown to dust and ash which was hurled into the upper air and then whisked away by winds even to the far side of the earth. "Though the Inhabitants of the United States were unaware of the great explosion of Mount Katmal, they felt its effects, one of which was the cold, damp summer of 1912, caused by the interception of sunlight by Even the dust from the eruption. of Sahara the cloudless sky clear, desert region was overcast.

Mail Theft by Bluebird Foiled by Rural Carrier McRae, Ga. R. E. Flanagan, rural mail carrier, reports a daylight robbery of a rural mall box by a bluebird. He says when he drove up a bluebird sitting on the mall box flew away. Flanagan placed a letter in the box and drove on. As he looked back he saw the bird flying away with the letter. The carrier stopped his car, got out and chased the bird until it dropped the letter, which he replaced in the box and weighted down to save it from another visit from the winged robber.

Its wooded hillside don a new green wbich Is reflected In the clear, blue, placid streams of the valley; and houseboats are put In order for a busy season. The Vale of Kashmir lies among the lower Himalayas, north of the Indian Punjab. One reaches Srinagar, the summer capital of the native state known as the domain of the Maharaja of Jainrnu and Kashmir, over a long route by rail and motor. From Bombay one travels northward by train, via Delhi and Lahore, to Rawalpindi, one of the chief army posts of British India. There the way to beauty opens. Almost at once on leaving Rawalpindi the motor road beings to climb. Up and up through the deodar-claslopes of the lower mountain the road twists and turns, the heated air of the plains grows cool and Invigorating, until, when travelers make their first overnight stop at Tret, they feel captivated by a joyous holiday spirit. Everything seems amusing and Interesting. Ruffled punkas swing from the celling, though yon may have no need of them.

Hairpin turns in the road make you catch your breath and curl your toes, for the ways of the native driver are his own and without fear, and, alas, you have not the knowledge of his language wherewith to express your feelings. Soon, from the first traveling sahib, you may learn to say, "Ahista, ahista I" But you never succeed In making an Indian chauffeur drive slowly, slowly. It Is possible to make the trip to Srinagar in a day, but not ahista! Quite the contrary. You spend two night In dak bungalows (resthouses) along the way, the second at Baramula, which lies at the edge of the great depression known as the Vale of Kashd mir. From Baramula one can go the rest of the way by boat, up the Jhelum river; but you may prefer to drive.

It lies, a great oval, surrounded by mountains green with deodar and spruce on the' lower reaches and white with snow until well Into the early summer. Skies of an Incredible blue complete a color scheme of fairy loveliness. Throughout the valley winds the curving line of the River Jhelum, along the banks of which straggle the streets and baraars which form the ancient city of Srinagar. Quaint Scenes in Srinagar. curious bridges span the Seven river, and along the shore quaint old wooden houses lean sometimes at a rakish angle. Many of the city streets end in wide stone steps leading down to the river's edge. These stairways are usually animated scenes of native life. Here the laundry men wash the fill clothes; he-- e the women come to their water jars. Children tumble and cows ramplay about, and goats and ble freely among them all.

She was the only person on the Island, except the minister, who could speak English, and being and Intelligent woman, a the St. Klldans thought a great deal of her. Partly In Jest they gave her a royal title; and when she died tragically In a boating accident the title passed to her daughter, and then to the prettiest girl or woman on the Island.
