Ein sturmisches Wetter ist draussen auf der Pussta, der Himmel wolkig, die Erde kotig, der Regen stroemt schon seit zwei Wochen, aus jedem Rinnsal ist das Wasser getreten, an der Stelle der Kornsaat wachst Schilf, zwischen dem teuern Mais machen sich jetzt Stoerche und Enten zu schaffen.- Zu Medardi am Lostag hat's angefangen, und jetzt wird es vierzig Tage lang fortregnen; wenn es aber so fortdauert, so weiss ich nicht, wer der Noah sein, und Menschen und Vieh aus dieser teilweisen Sundflut retten wird...

Midst the Wild Carpathians By M r J kai, Robert Nisbet Bain

What is he doing here? He drives his boat over the black looking-glass of the lake; round and round he goes, searching the black walls with anxiety, his lamp raised in his disengaged hand. Does he imagine that a secret is hidden there? Does he think that by touching a spring, and saying "Open Sesame," the treasure hidden there for hundreds of years will spring forth? In truth, he does find treasures. Here and there from the black wall-weakly constructed in some places by Nature's hand-a piece of stone loosens itself-upon it the impression of a leaf belonging to a long-ago-extinct species. A wonderful treasure this In other places he comes upon unknown crystals, to which science has not as yet given a name; or upon a new conglomeration of different quartz, metal, and stone-a silent testimony to a convulsion of Nature before this world was. All these witnesses speak. The pillars, too; over them the water of the pond has by degrees formed a crustation of crystals, small, but visible even without a glass. This, too, gives testimony. The pond is in itself wonderful.

In 1896 Hungary celebrated the completion of his fifty years of literary labor by issuing a beautiful jubilee edition of his works, for which the people of all grades of society subscribed $100,000. Every county in the country sent him memorials in the form of albums wrought in gold and precious stones, two hundred of these souvenirs filling one side of the author's large library and reception-room. Low bookcases running around the walls are filled only with his own publications, the various editions of his three hundred and fifty books making a large library in themselves. The cabinets hold sketches and paintings sent by the artists of Hungary as a jubilee gift; there are cases containing carvings, embroidery, lace, and natural-history specimens sent him by the peasants, and orders in gold and silver, studded with jewels, with autograph letters from the kings and queens of Europe. In the midst of all this inspiring display of loving appreciation, Dr. J kai has his desk; a pile of neatly written, even manuscript ever before him, for in his seventy-fourth year he still feels the old-time passion for work calling him to it early in the morning and holding him in its spell all the day long.

That projecting needle at the top is the "Gropa lui Petro," the grave of St. Peter; the two gigantic forms on either side are his apostolic companions; yonder monster opposite is the "Babile," and the one which closes the vista is the "Golumbaczka Mali" or Dove-rock; while the gray pinnacle which towers above is the high Robbers' Peak, "Rasbojnik Beliki." Between these walls flows the Danube in its rocky bed. The mighty mother-stream, accustomed far above on the Hungarian plains to flow with majestic quiet in a bed three miles wide, to caress the overhanging willows, to look on blooming meadows and play with chattering mills, is here confined in a pass only a hundred and fifty fathoms in width. With what rage it rushes through He who traveled with it before recognizes it no longer; the grisly giant is rejuvenated into heroic youth.
