NEW VOLCANIC ISLAND.

Robert Dunne, a writer in "Outing," tells us that for six weeks he has been hunting volcanoes in Bering Sea, and that he climbed the new island in the Bogoslov group which was thrown up at the time of the California earthquake. In fact, he is the first one who has climbed or explored the island. He tells us that it is still an ash cone, the active core of the submerged crater in a state of wild activity. His native assistants refused to follow him, and he had to visit the island alone, burning all the hair off his hands and some off his face in ascending it. It has a crater from five to six miles in diameter containing seven cones, and the volcano is one of the greatest in the world.
