Hawaiian Hotel Keepers Plan to Hear

Hawaiian Hotel Keepers Plan to Hear
Voice of kiIauea.
Song writer's have talked Of tele.
phoning to heaven, and fiction writer's
have sought to make use Of the tele-
phone In other plots, but none has thus
far been so bold as to suggest tele-
phoning to the Internal fires of the
worlds most gigantic active volcano,
writes Honolulu correspondent of the
New York Herald. But this is the dar-
ing project that has been undertaken
by George Lycurgus, the manager of
the Volcano House, on the island of
Hawaii. He is having a telephone line
strung from the Kilauea Volcano
House down into the mighty crater of
Kilauea, across the floor of this Won
derful place to the very brink of Hale
maumau, the pit Of fire. where the
flames and smoke and steam and fiery
lava of Nine. Pele's dwelling place are
constantly in activity. The idea is to
have the telephone strung from the
Volcano House to the edge of the pit
Of fire, distance of between two and
three miles, so that constant communi-
cation between the outside world and
the dwelling place of Nine. Pele, the
Hawaiian goddess Of fire. can be main
tanned.
Scores Of people have returned to
Honolulu with interesting stories Of
their experience at the lava flow on the
, island, but without exception the most
original experience related was that
by F. w. Klebahn and E. NJ. Camp
bell, two prominent business men Of
this city. They visited the flow at a
point about 5000 feet above sea level.
They made the mistake Of not provid-
/ ing themselves with warm clothing
| and heavy blankets. But when they
were invited to occupy a part of tent
near the flow they gladly accepted.
! But the tent afforded little resistance
to the chill of the mountain air. Nei-
Their man seemed able to get warm,
! and for hours they lay in actual mis-
cry from the cold Finally Klebahn
, decided upon very novel method Of
| overcoming the lack of heat general

itself supply the warmth. The couple

on top of the flow and there to try to
go to sleep. The top of the flow proved
but hard bed with the multitude of
okelike clinkers of IA lava. But it was
warm. Underneath this outer cover
Ing of IA lava was an inner stream
of pahoehoe lava, a shot molten mass
of fluid that gave forth heat in guam
! tity to have satisfied the coolest blood,
ed person.
This very novel place of slumber did
not travel quite so fast as a folding
bed. but it kept moving steadily and
irresistibly toward the sea. for when
the pair awoke in the bed at daybreab
they found that the lava had moved
fully fifty feet toward the ocean dur
ing the time of their slumber, leaving
their clothes hanging on tree behind
them.

The Green Of English Lawns.

The human soul is so made that
green is one of It's most delectable
aesthetic experiences. The color is not
exciting, like red, nor stimulating, like
yellow, nor exalting and inspiring, like
blue; it is simply soothing, satisfying.
reviving, delicious. 1t is the human
co,or. If there be planets on whose
surface green is a color as rare as Is
blue on ours, our race would speedily
langu1sh and die out there. But
speak, of course, Of the perfect green,
the green of English lawns Other
greens there are, cold or trivial or
muddy or crude, which do but irritate
or depress us, and there are blue
green's and gray green's, we'll enough in
their places, and in the caves of Ice
bergs spiritual green's that exercise a
weird enchantment. But for the gar
ment of the mighty, round earth no
other green is more worthy than this
of England; none other touches so In
wardly the heart of man. No wonder
that Falstaff on his deathbed babbled
of green fields. For my dying eyes
could desire no happier vision than the
gracious levels of an English lawn

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper

Refuse to Advance Price of Shave
A refusal of number of union bar

argued by the BARRIERS whose shops

stand for ii. So these BARRIERS are
commencing to announce that they
