Frienda of Miss Phoebe Anderson, teacher in the Spencer school near Manceiona, have re reived word of the terrible prlvatlona ahe experienced while loat a ' night in the wood a in a big anowatorm near Mitchell's lumber camp. She started from her school to go to the home of Frank Gregg, where she waa boarding. The storm was at its height and the sky waa darkened so that she could not. with the snow and wind. see more than a few feet ahead. Sbe thought ahe would take a byroad which led through tbo wooda and which would cut off considerable distance borne. She loat the road, wandered around in the now nstll exhausted, and not seeming to make any headway, she pulled her skirts up over her bead and lay down In the anow until abe bad enough atrengtb to continue ner journey. In that way abe wandered all night, never giving up, but struggling on In the hone of reaching tbe farmhonse or other shelter. In the morning men from Mitch ell's lumber camp heard her -feeble cries and found ner bealde a log In the anow. Sbe bad loat her gloves and rubbers and waa barely able to stand alone. They carried, her out In time to aave her life.

Tho Boiling Hot Pools of Teal, In tht Philipp:nea. The central or mailt crater of Taal is nearly round. Its diauartrr ou an nir lint north and south is 0.223 fert and the east-west diameter Teet, Tht edge of this crater Is somewhat irreg ular, but 13 uowhere broken through Its highest ixint standing at only l.CCC feet above sea level and its lowest at 426 feet. Within the rim are two hot pools known respectively as the ytI!ow and the green late, and a little active coin above fifty feet in uHj-ht from whlct escape steam and sulphurous gas it varying qnantl'te. In tbe smaller lake cfcry few ualautes the water in the center is blowr up like an iiacaense bubble, which, ris lag above the surface, finally bursts, re vealing a black orifice and causing tht boiling and very turbulent water to a sunie all imaginable colors. Tbc aque us vapor escaping Is sufficient to font a broaa. smokellko column which if visible especially during the night and in the early morning. At wme distance and before reaching the eJqc of Hie crater, where a Tiew of tho bottom can be obtained, the rumblluK sound produced by the escaping vapor, under the influence oi the mysterious subterranean forces can be heard like tbat of an Immense boiling kettle.
