MAKING A VOLCANO COOK

At the very edge of the great crater
land of Hawaii, about two hundred
miles from Honolulu, is located one of
the most novel ranches in the world.
Its owner is an American, and he is
making a profitable business from the
sordid occupation of raising swine;
but the remarkable feature in these
farming operations is the manner of
feeding the stock.
Covering the slopes of this crater
mountain and entirely surrounding the
ranch is dense forest, a greater part
of whose thick underground is COM
posed of giant tree ferns. That vari-
ETY. Of vegetation often rises to a
height of fifty feet, with wonderful
feathery foliage and stems frequently
foot or more in diameter. The hard
sheli-tike covering to these trunks en-
closes fibrous mass consisting prin-
cipally of pulp rich in starches and
sugars. Experiments demonstrated
that after thoroughly steaming or
cooking this pulp it becomes soft and

the method of preparing the fodder
was too expensive for practical pur-

of Hawaii solved the problem.
The hardened lava coating, which ex-

every side of the active central pit
of the volcano, is cracked in many
places. allowing steam to escape con

education. 1t is held by thoughtful
people that nothing is to be gained by
teaching boys and girls in the same
classes. They both need different
kinds of instruction and different
types Of instructors
Thu girls suffer the most because
the studies in all the grades are more
suited to boys Than they are to them.
At best they are only fitted for girls
who are going to college, a very small
minority. for 80 per cen either marry
or earn their living.
For matrimony-sha to say it
there Is no training whatever. A girl
learns algebra, geometry and chemis-
try, but not the sort of chemistry TINT
helps her to detect impure food or tao
higher mathematics that will teach her
to dispense the household money prop
erly.
And these are the things it is vital
for her to know.
Does the ordinary school fit a girl to
earn her living? Along mems lines,
where she is naturally at a disadvan-
tage. it may. but along the lines where

She is so busy studying sciences and
Latin she has no time to learn how to
sew nor to develop her talent for mu-
sic, for drawing, for designing or for
practical writing. She is not taught
these things because the boys of the
class would waste their time studying
them.
When she learns hygiene she is
taught principally that smoking and
alcohol are injurious. That's the boy'g
point of view. but what can be said in
a mixed class of the laws of health as
they apply to her?
1t is that way in all her studies; the
boys are taught. and she follows the
best she can The kind of education
she really needs, the only kind that Is
any practical use to her. she can never
