Danger In LinoIeum Making.

In the manufacture Of linoleum no
unprotected lights are allowed In the
mixing department. This is on account
of the great danger Of exploding the
cork dust floating in the air. An addi-
tional danger in linoleum making Is
that the mixture of cement and cork
dust has the unpleasant property of
spontaneously igniting If left In a
warm place. 1t is therefore custom
ary to mix the material sackful at a
time in order to reduce the risks Of an
explosion.

THE ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java's Geological Eocentrieity the Lake
Of Boiling Mud.

Java's Geological Eoeentrieity the Lake
Of Boiling Mud.
The greatest natural wonder In Java,
II not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated Gheko Kamdha Gumko or
home Of the hot DEVILS" known to the
world as the ISLAND Of fire." This geo.
logical eccentricity is really a lake Of
boiling mud, situated at about the CEN
ter Of the plains Of Grobogana, and is
called an island because Of the great
emerald sea Of vegetation which sur
rounds It and gives II that appearance.
The island" Is about two miles In
circumference and is situated at dis
tance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center Of this geo.
logical freak immense columns Of soft
hot mud may be seen continually ris-
Ing and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by ss..snt hands and then quickly with
drawn. I Iza It..r
Besides the phenomenon Of the boil
ing mud columns, there are scores OF
gigantic bubbles of hot slime that fill
up like huge balloons and keep up a
series Of constant explosions, the in
tensity Of the detonations varying with
the size Of the bubble. In times past
80 the Javanese authorities say, there
was tall, spire-like columns Of baked
mud on the west edge Of the lake
which constantly belched pure
stream Of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything Is
now seething mass of bubbling mud
and slime, a marvel to the visitors who
come from long distances to see 1t.

PEACE APPARENTLY ASSURED
NICARAGUA WILL JOIN OTHER
CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES.
Conference of the Five Republics to
Provide a Permanent Agreement
May Be Held Here.

At the State Department today dispatch
from Mexico announcing that peace is now
assured in Central America was received
with distinct pleasure. but Acting Secretary
Adee was inclined to question the word in
tervention" as applied to the assistance
given by the United States and Mexico.
The influence of these governments, he said,
was confined to friendly mediation" The
advices from the City of Mexico indicate
that Nicaragua is now willing to join with
the other Central American states in an
agreement providing for lasting peace, a
step which Costa Rica. Honduras, Salvador
and Guatemala have been longing for since
the conquest Of Honduras and Salvador by
Nicaragua in the struggle last summer.
Minister Godoy. the charge of the Mexi-
can embassy. called at the State Depart
ment today and conferred with Mr. Adee
concerning the good news. In discussing
the bettered conditions in Central America
these representatives Of the mediating gov
ernments thought It not improbable that
the proposition for peace conference Of
the five Central American republics, to be
held in Washington or In the City Of Mex
leo. would be revived. 1t Is said that such
a conference offers the best opportunity for
the republics to get together in formulat-
ing a treaty looking to perpetual peace.
The only basis Of agreement, 1t is believed
here. would be for the United States and
Mexico jointly to act as sponsors for the
peace pact, with the understanding that any
violations would be forcibly quelled and the
perpetrators punished. This would mean
the arbitration of all disputes between the
Countries
Largely through the good offices of the
bureau of American republics TIE Central
American states have been brought to see
that continual warfare not only was costly
to the countries themselves but that 1t had
prevented commercial advancement.
