A TRAPPING PARTY TO
THE TOP OF MAUNA LOA
The Rough Trail to the Summit of the Great
Volcanic Mountain Drinking Water
Problem by the Way.

On Thursday morning party con-
sisting of Prof DAILY, William Mein-
ecke, Stephen Desha Jr., Toshy Ara
kawa, Robert Maby, Edward Maby
and Bert Maby, started fer the top of
Mauna Loa. That night was spent
in a deserted stone hut on the slopes
of the mountain near the edge of the
timber. On Friday morning at half
past six, the party left Starvation
Camp ESQ named on a previous expert
ence of one of the members of the
party, with the hope of reaching the
top by shutdown if possible, and return
ing to the timber the next day, as the
water supply was scant and it was
uncertain that any could be obtained
until the Volcano House was again
reached. But Mauna Loa is very
deceiving mountain, and what appears
TO be the top when seen from low
elevation is far from such. Mauna Loa
above the timber line is larger than
the island of Oahu. and by experience
alone can one appreciate this fact.
, The rough lava was soon reached and
after crossing couple of miles of this,
Prof. DAILY found it necessary to re-
turn, as his shoes could not stand the
trip. Toshy, who was not very heavily
shod, accompanied the professor to the
volcano.
Five, with shoes built for the occa.
sion, proceeded onward. All day they
walked in the scorching sun, but the
top seemed to grow no nearer, until
late in the afternoon when it seemed
as though the summit could be reached
that night. But the sun went down
and the stars came forth, and at seven
o CLOCK it was necessary to make camp
on the rocks. A spot suitable for a
bed for five was selected and two blan-
kets spread for a mattress while eight
blankets and four pieces of oil cloth
served for covering. The oil cloth
froze as stiff as piece of iron sheet
ing.
After dry dinner the FIVE went to
bed and ere the sun rose the next
morning, all were up and after spread
ing their blankets ON the rocks to mark
the spot that it might be found again.
started once more for the summit which
now appeared to be near at hand. But
Mauna Loa is very deceiving noun
tain.
After three hours of steady tramp
ing, breakfast was taken. A hundred

yards beyond the breakfast table, a
cave was discovered, and in this cave
were a few icicles which served to
swell the water supply. But not a
great deal.
Robert and Edward Maby being
rather young for such trip and feel
ing the effects of mountain sickness
decided to remain at the cave until
the others should return.
A little further great quantities of
ice and snow were found in large
cracks. Chunks of ice were taken, but
when water was found nearer the top
the ice was thrown away and all the
empty canteens were filed.
At half past two in the afternoon
the summit crater was reached by Will
liam Meinecke, Stephen Desha and Bert
Maby. After taking a few photographs
of the crater with its sulphur fumes
and smoke rising in several places, the
party started back for Starlight Camp
which was the name given the place
where the night had been spent.
The distance was great and the eoun,
try rough, but they were spurred on by
the realization that the blankets were
far away, and that two young boys
were to be located. Shortly after seven
the blankets were reached and Robert
and Edward were there.
On Sunday the return to Starvation
Camp was made. Near the camp the
only water hole in that region was
luckily found and the water carried
being nearly all gone, the canteens
were again filed On Monday the
party walked to Glenwood and took the
train to Hilo. One of the members Of
the party having climbed all of the
large mountains on the islands. consid-
ers Mauna Iloa the most strenuous I'M
dertaking that Hawaii affords the
pedestrian, and advises all who wish
to see the top of this mountain, to
go by way of one of the trails, and
to go on horseback with a guide.
Mauna Loa was built up of 'spahoe-
hoe, which is smooth lava, but with
in the past one hundred years. most of
the flows have been "a-a,n very
rough lava. These "a flows have brok-
sen out along various parts of a line
between the top of the mountain and
Hilo, and have flowed off on both sides
of this line, covering in this way most
of the country which lies between XII
lauea and the summit crater, thus
rendering this the toughest land on
earth. It was over this country the
party walked to the top of the noun
tain.
For three days nothing but rocks
could be seen, and crunch, crunch,
crunch of shoes on the lava was all
that was heard. On the first of these
three days, when the water supply
threatened to run out, it became neces-
sary in order to save some water for
the return trip, for each one to wet
his handkerchief and to suck on that
when he was thirsty. But the finding
of water at the top and again at the
timber's edge made this unnecessary
on the following day.
Ask any of those who made the trip
if they enjoyed it, and their answers
are all the same, "We surely did enjoy
it despite the hardship, but never
again.

CASE FOR THE BABY RIBBON.
Easily Made and Really Indispensable
as Part of Belongings of the
Dainty Girl.

The girl who knows how disrepu'
table baby ribbon can become unless
daintily cared for will welcome SIM
pie, washable case that can be made
in a few minutes.
A somewhat large embroidered hand
kerchief with border running around
it was cut in half, each piece making
a case. The half was turned up so
that it folded in thirds, with the outer
side coming down at top or cover.
The part cut in two was finished
with a narrow hem and the ends were
finely overcast together. The case
was then divided into five compart-
ment, three smaller ones, one on
each end and the third In the middle,
and two larger spaces between. These
latter were made big enough to hold
bodkin run through the card on
which the ribbon was wound.
Small cardboard reels were made to
fit each compartment. These were
slightly curved on each edge to keep
the ribbon from slipping.
The advantage of such a case is
chat it is quickly laundered and takes
up no room in bag or trunk. II in
tended for a present, each reel can be
filed with a piece of baby ribbon in
different colors, the bodkins can be OF
silver or different colored ivory and
a tiny pair of scissors can be attached
to one of the reels.

BECOMING FORM OF NECKWEAR
Idea That Is Largely Copied from the
Styles Popular with the
Sterner Sex.

We are getting more picturesque
every day. This is especially true of
neckwear. There are some women
who cling to starched turnover col
lars and the high-boned, untrimmed
stock because they are becoming;
but many other women take advan-
tage of the pictorial opportunities in
neckwear.
One OF the newest fashions is
duplicate of the old method used by
gentleman for covering their necks
A high linen collar with a soft finish
is fastened to the neckband of the
blouse, IFS points are turned over by
hand in front, and black satin scarf
is wrapped around the collar and tied
in front.
It is best to use satin on the bias.
Any weave of it is correct. 1t is usual
ly folded double and stitched so that
it will not roll back and show the
lining. 1t is finished in front with a
loose bow and ends, or precise lit
tie bow, from the center. of which
may dangle velvet ribbon, a lace frill,
or jet balls.
The most picturesque fashion is to
arrange it in this formal little bow
in front and add double frill of
Valenciennes lace down front of
blouse. If the lace is dipped in tea
It will take on that Old World color.

MINERAL MATTER FOR HENS.
Chickens Need a Great Deal More
Mineral Matter Than Is Gen.
orally Supposed.

Chickens consume great deal more
mineral matter than is commonly sup
posed. Not only is there mineral mat
ter in the general body composition,
but large amounts in the bOny frame
work and a considerable amount in
the feathers. The growing chick, prob
ably more than any other animal,
needs an abundance of mineral matter
to meet its growing demand.
1t is a well-known fact that chickens
go about picking up every small bit
of mineral substance that they can
find. This is surely an indication that
these things are of a benefit to them.
Also it has been held that grit in the
form of small pebbles and other hard
substances are used exclusively for
grinding food. Of late, after more
careful study of digestion processes
with poultry, authorities have come to
the conclusion that grit does not aid
materially in the grinding of food in
the gizzard. 1t is very likely that the
pebbles grinding together there are
reduced to a-powder and are utilized
in the animal system as mineral
food, the slow reduction making diges-
ton possible.
Different animal and vegetable foods
contain different proportions of min
eral matter, some containing a large
and some a small amount. OF the
grains, for instance, wheat contains
more mineral matter than corn. Ami
NAL bony matter contains more min
eral matter than animal flesh. Also,
some common natural mineral sub
stances contain a greater number of
mineral elements than can be utilized
for food than others. Some GRANTEES
contain more inorganic elements than
limestone. Oyster shells, the popular
mineral chicken feed, contains prac-
tically nothing but lime, yet it is an
excellent mineral poultry feed.

To Build a Cheap Hen House.

An economical plan for building a
noultrv house is given by T. M. Polk,
TT. as follows: Build foundation two
feet from ground and lay on it
double floor of rough boards. Around
the ends and north side of this floor,
one foot back from edge, nail down
2x4s. To the overhead joists nail an
other line of 2x4s. To these, at top
and bottom. are to be nailed the box
ing (boards) for inside wall, if the
poultry netting is close enough for a
hoard. Brace the corners secm ely be-
fore attempting to stretch the poultry
wire. The outer walls are made SIM
;lar RI one described except that box
ing is nailed to sills and plates. The
snace thus formed is to be packed
with straw or other material of like
nature. The loft is laid of loose
boards. or even small poles and then
flied with straw. The front is built
on the curtain front plan. The inside

nal though / strongly favor partitions
separating roosting room from scratch

so as to touch no part of the building.

Clothed in Christ.

No one need fear sin when fully pro-
tected against it. And we may always
have such protection; it is only when
we choose to be unprotected that sin
works its destruction with US. Our in
sulation is sure. Put on the armor
of light" writes Paul; and later adds:
"Put We on the Lord Jesus Christ -
Christ himself is our protection
against the arrows OF death. We may
put him on, we may be literally
clothed in him. Evil cannot touch
him; therefore it cannot reach one
who is in him. No one was ever con-
taminated by sin except after having
broken away from the protecting pow
er and person of the Saviour.

had been recited to the class by
cherub on the front bench. Later in
the afternoon the teacher, in the
course of the lessons, had occasion to
refer to the text.
"Now, children" she said, who said
those words?" and she repeated them.
A hand went up from one of the larger
boys on the back bench, and receiving
permission to answer, he said, pointing
to the cherub: THAT little Teller down

WHERE PAT DREW THE LINE
Patient and Long Suffering, But No
Man with Face Like That Could
Work with Him.

Pat had been at work for three days
digging WELL and as the foreman
wanted it finished within the week he
had promised Pat another man to
help him. 1t was getting ON for IL
o'clock, and Towser, the foreman's
bulldog, was looking over the edge of
the pit, when Pat said to himself.
"Smoke-o."
He had just filled his pipe, and was
about to light it when he glanced up
and beheld Towser's handsome fea-
lures.
Slowly removing the pipe from his
mouth, he said: "Be-e-egorra, Owe
worked wild Germans and Hengar-r-
rians, and Olive worked wild Oital-
ians and naygers, but if a man wild
face like that comes down here to
work besoide me, gets up"

Lyons SAYS He Got 500.

State Senator Edward H. Lyons
testified before the senatorial inves-
tigation committee that while he told
the Republican state central commit
tee he did not want any money, that
check was sent to him for 800 by
l.. w. Thayer, treasurer of the commit
tee.
The reason for sending him the
check was that he had done much
work and was entitled to some reim-
bursement. Witness did not support
Senator Stephenson in the campaign
but said he thought it his duty to up
hold the primary election law and sup
port the nominee of the Republican
party
II think Senator Stephenson got his
election just as honestly as many
other candidates" said Mr.. Lyons.
State Senator Lehr was questioned
concerning money spent in his district
Appleton, Outgamie county. He re-
ceived about 800 through the Repub-
lican state central committee, but
could not say where, when or from
whom he received the money.
The only promise he made during
the primary was that he would sup
port the candidate for United States
senator who received the nomination
from the Republican party and this
promise he kept, the witness asid.
