THE ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java's Wonderful Lake of Boiling
Mud and slime

MUD ana Slime,
The greatest natural wonder in Java
II not in the entire world. is the justly
celebrated Gheko Kamdka Gumko, OF
Home OF the Hot Devils, known to the
world as the Island Of Fire. This geo
logical singularity is really a lake ot
boiling mud situated at about the cen.
ter Of the plains of Grobogana and is
called an island because the great EN-
erald sea Of vegetation which surrounds
i gives it that appearance. The island
is about two miles in circumference
and Is situated at distance of almost
exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the
center of this geological freak immense
columns of soft hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
tfmbers thrust through the boiling sub
stratum by giant hands and then again
quickly withdrawn. Besides the phe.
nomenon Of boiling mud columns there
are scores OF gigantic bubbles of hot
slime that I'LL up like huge balloons and
keep up series Of constant explosions,
the intensity OF the detonations vary
Ing with the size OF the bubble. In
times past, so the Jayanese authorities
say. there was tall, spirelike column
Of baked mud ON the west side Of the
lake which constantly belched pure
stream Of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is now
a seething mass of bubbling mud and
slime, a marvel to the visitors who
come from great distances to see 1t.

case of Camille Cahen and other leg
atees under the will Of the late Ma
thias Colby, of New Orleans, against

cision of the supreme court of Louis

received them in his private library

BISHOP PLACES POPE
Duty of Roman Catholics to
Obey Laws of Church.
HE'D BREAK THE GEORGIA LAW
Bishop Kelley Says Pope Is Supreme
and Must Be Obeyed-He Also
Speaks of the Political Might of Ro-
man Catholics.

Savannah, Ca. Dec. 24.-BishOp
B. J. Kelley, of the diocese of Sa-
vannah, speaking at the cathedral
Sunday night said no true Roman
Catholic could question the action OF
the pope in advising his people to dis
obey the French separation law, and
that it was the duty of every member
of the church to obey the laws OF the
church before those of the state.
IF the state of Georgia should pass
a law interfering with the church du-
ties of a Catholic" said he, L would
be the first to announce that l ex-
pected the people in my diocese to
break the law.
"The pope is supreme, and has au-
thority from God, and no true bel1ev-
er would, hesitate whether to obey
the law of God or man. 1t would
not be necessary for me to make any
announcement, however, for II the
United States should attempt any
thing like France is doing, the Cath-
olics would rise of their own accord,
and move the bigots from power
The Catholic church needs no secular
arm to protect it,"

Bakersfield, Calf, Dec. 24.-Lin-
say B. Hicks, released Saturday
night from an entombment of Is days
in caved-in tunnel, appeared we'll
and happy after his gruesome expert
ence. He received the congratula-
tlons OF friends and neighbors, to
whom he related as best he could the
feelings he underwent within the dark
and close quarters of his tomblike
prison near the dead bodies of five
less fortunate companions while a
large force of men worked like beav-
ers day and night for more than two
weeks to save him from death by dig
glng through many feet of earth and
rock.
Hicks was once a soldier, and he
is said to carry some Indian blood
IN his veins. He was so strong
that the stimulants that had been pre-
pared for him were not needed.
1t was 11:50 Saturday night when
Hicks was released. The last cut or
the drift was made at 11:12 o'clock
and no sooner was the sedgment OF
debris removed and the way left open
than Hicks began to scrape away the
rocks and earth and crawl toward the
opening.
With arms in front Of his mead he
went into the miniature lunnel and be-
gan to work his way slowly through

near which he has remained during
the excavating. When he had pro-
gressed about half way, he stopped
and Superintendent Frank Miller,
who stood at the tube at the mouth
of the shaft, called out and asked
what was the matter.
Oh, nothing" Hicks called back.
I'm just going to stop. I'm out OF
wind My wind is very short, you
know"
Then Hicks moved a few inches
further toward freedom, and his arms
were seized by DR.. StinchfieId and
Miner Gents, who pulled him into
the main tunnel, where he was placed
in a sitting position.
The blindfoId that Hicks had been
ordered to put on was removed Nas
the tunnel was only dimIy lighted by
candles. With tears in his eyes,
Hicks said to Stinchfield:
'Tm\ feeling fine. l can never
thank you, doctor, for what you have
done"
He then thanked Superintendent
Cone, of the Edison works, who Ia
ter expressed his qualification at the

While working ON a tunnel that was

vertical walls of deep cut fell in

ished.
Three days later a tapping on the
iron rail of the little tramway run

intimation that man still alive was
buried beneath the debris. The res
cue work has progressed steadily
since.
While the last steps were being
taken in mis- rescue, Superintendent
Cone, who led the rescue party, call
ed to Hicks, and told him he was
still on the payroll. He said:

man, Hicks. You have been on duty
