She waa full of Irish vivacity and wit, and waa impulaivc and generoua. The Colonel diacovered, in the ooorse of coDveraation, that her apeeial talent waa muaic, and he inatantly made a mental reaolve that ahe should have the best of masters from London- She had had lessons, she told him, from a master who visited Ballyahowao, and she played a little. " You wonld not think it anything;" she said â€" they were in the drawing-room now â€" "but he always taaght me good music. But, Colonel McLeod," ahe added archly, " I can aing dozens of Irish songs, and croon a lovely keenp, just Uke an old Irishwoman." " You can look saucy," returned McLeod, laughing.

Aa he waa a good mnaician he waa well able to judge of an- other'a powera. Cecil played several pieoea with delicacy and grace, and the Colonel asw at once that ahe had only wanted cnltivation.

The Mauna Loa ia again belching forth ita fiery torrent*. The mighty forces imprisoned under the beds of the Pacific are finding vent through this volcanic cone. Manna Loa ia a volcano ait- uated on the ialand of Hawaii. It is 13,70ll feet high and ia marked by two distinct cra- ters, one st the aummit, and the other, Kd- aoea, at a aomewhat lower level.

The evidence of thia tor. rent waa diacovered for a diatance of over sixty miles. The floor of the great crater Kilanea resembled, it was said, a lake of fire which had been scooped one thousand feet deep, and covered an area of twenty -eight square miles. This enormous vent relieves the greit baain of the Central Pacific, the rim of which rests upon a volcanic formation, ret with volcaaoea all around. It is notable that moat of the volcanoea are under the floor of the ocean, and only show themselves ou islands cast np from the great deep. Tbv evidence of violent disturbance all over the earth poinU to the time when the preaent land waa under the surface of the water, and aubject to volcanic action. It waa the com- mingling of fire and water which one time or other dutorted or depreased the aurface of thia earth. This new eruption may exoec.l any which haa preceded it.
