Curious Volcano.
A-Lille-message says that--a depôt of damaged powder abandon- ed by the British Army, and which had been buried during the war has caused a great commotion in the Lunde region. Quite a crowd has gathered to see a curious thing. From an opening in the ground flames escaped during the nightand smoke during the day. The people began to think that there was some kind of volcano. Policemen were called, and they immediately searched the suil to discover the cause of the mystery. The old people of Lunde now rest in peace. for their volcano has no lava.
