: Pralse and Appreciation, There are persons in this world and the pity is that there are not more of them-—-who care less for praise than appreciation. They have an ideal after which they are striv- ing, but of which they consciously fall short, as every one who has a Jofty ideal is sure to do. When that ideal is recognized by another, and they are praised or commended for something—let that something be important or not-—in its direction, they are grateful, not for appreciation. An element of sympathy enters into that recogni- tion, and they feel that they have something in common with the ob- and praises what they think is most worthy of praise.

What it Looks Like Weird and Inexhaustible Supply. ‘A Styglan Pond Strange -A Seemingly An extraordinary lake of pitch exists in Trinidad. It is a circular basin of black bitumen, having an area of only 110 acres, But this deposit, formed from vegetable matter by chemical processes in nature's laboratory during past ages, is an inexhaustible mine of riches, Any- body who has scen a large round pond, mostly dried up, with little streams of clear water irregularly intersecting its bed, here and there patches of vegeta- tion, and a slushy looking place near the center with fish bubbles coming up, the entire surface blackish and uninviting, can form a very fair idea of the general appearance of the lake, Its contents are nearly pure asphaltum, with a small pro. portion of earthy matter. An old geo- logical report estimates the quantity in sight at 4,752,000 tons, but since this reckoning made several hundred thousand tons have been removed with- out perceptibly diminishing the available supply. There is something altogether weird and strange about this lake of pitch, Its surface not present a continuous sheet, but is traversed by a network of channels in which the min water collects, Its aspect may be likened to a piece of marbled paper. There are of small islands seattered was does about a score over the lake, which are covered with vegetation, some of them supporting trees feet high, downward very twenty orthirty lo not extend gus generated in ind there over the sur small and big which filled It is fortunate that the material when « ompact will not burn without a wick, for otherwise the entire if i are ire with region, including the neighboring village, might suffer the fate of Sodom snd Go. morrah. No soundings have ever been made, and the depth of the deposit is un- known, : The soil of the island of the lake rests on a substratum of as- phaltum. Inasmuch as the latter readily yields to pressure, it is not surprising that houses built over it should exhibit a tendency to tumble down. Although the palm-thatched cottages are light, the posts that support them are apt to sink into the earth, or more often to lean over sideways, apparently endangering the buildings. This does not at all alarm the inmates, though the dwellings often look like card houses on the point of fall- ing. The movement of the asphaltum is too gradual to cause accidents. Further. more when a cottage scems on the point of falling it is as likely as not to regain its plumb, the posts: resuming the per- pendicular through a new movement of the asphaitum. When the pitch is dug from the land deposits the hole from which it is taken soon fills itself up. Thus an excavation that yielded 38,000 tons has been known to fill iteglf up witin a few months to a level wih the surrounding ground. The company which has the exclusive right to get asphalt from the lake pro- cures its supplies from the central por- tion, where the pitch is dug with picks and pulled up in lumps, which are thrown by hand into barrels for transpor- tation in carts to the seashore not far away. In the hot part of the day the stuff is so liquid that shovels are used instead of picks. The work is performed by excavating areas thirty or forty feet square to a depth of three or four feet, As soon as labor ceases on one of these holes the latter begins to be obliterated, the bottom rising up to the general level, 80 that within a few days no trace remaing, The old proverb, that one cannot touch pitch without being defiled, does not hold trae here. If it did the place would be in- tolerably loathsome. The material can be taken in the hands and molded into any shape without staining the fingers, Cer- tainly there are fow things in the world so wonderful as this great puddle of asphalt, which looks to the eye as though billions of tons of black pitch had boiled out of the earth from the effects of an immense subterranean fire, The company gets its pitch from the Inke at a cost of 40 cents a ton. It sells the material in the United States for $14 a ton. This leaves a fair margin of profit even after the rental of $50,000 annually has been paid to the colony, For this price the colony not only ts exclu- sive rights as to the lake, but also pro- hibits competition by forbidding ‘any ns to dig asphaltum from the public | Warhinston Star, 4 = ti in the vicinity ha There are positive no basques worn. wn ‘4 I Li LITT Lie yp year has been First Prize, Third Prize, The Bravest will be described in graph War Corre and by famous General John Gibbon.
