VOLCANIC BATHS.

T«at a rot. rise*4 Arrau th> Cratar. Volcanic bath* ar* proper thing nowaday* In certain part* of California and Mexico. Down In Mendocino county.

The way they manage la unique. A sapling la felled In the foreeta near the valconlc crater, stripped of its llmbe. carried to the

ground. Fancy yourself sliding out on one of these sapplings stretched across a crater's moutn, then slipping gently off Into the middle of a gurgling. bubbling. Ice-cold mass of mud and swinging yourself there, suspended by your hands, until fatigued. Then, with Just life enough left to crawl back along the log, you reach un-

yielding ground again.

Once plunged Into oue of these craters of mud, with all tics to the sapling above severed, a perron would be lost forever, being awajlovcd up In the murky depths In an Instant, for vastly quicker In action and sorer of Its victim than quicksand Is the mud of Mendocino's mysterious volcanoes. Cleanliness has nothing to do with IL It Is not that for which people face the Gangers of the volcanic bath. The mud which la belched forth from the earth's Interior la supposed to contain important medicinal properties. There ara about 25 of these singular mud-belching volcaones in Mendocino county, and they are among California's many wonders. They are ailuated high on a mountain side, seven

lafaalry Attack*.

It is bard to find a single writer who regards Infantry attack in the face of modern rifles with the confidence of Col. Mande. Nearly all agree that to mass men in order to strike a blow in the Napoleonic sense ia Impracticable nowadays. The needlegun was suOdent to make It Impossible for the Austrians In 1866. But even If victory should ensue. Is there any reason to
