WONDERS OF LAVA
This Molten Rock Is a Most Pc

Curious Effect on Mount Vesuvius
Produced by the Lsva's Amazing
Properties as a Noneonduetor Of
Heat-Deadly Volcanic Ashes.

Vesuvius, the most famous volcano
iii the world. with It's mighty vomit-
ings of lava and dust, is guilty Of
many queer freaks. Mighty transforms
have set in motion the lava dust and
lava cinderS that lie on its sides, and
torrents of muddy lava have. over
whelmed towns and villages rs it
swept down 70 the sea. The resulting
effect from this has been so great that
1t changed the face of the coast line
by forming new promontory
Lava is one of the most curious of
substances 1t is simply rock melted
by heat so intense that it flows like
thin cruel. When Vesuvius is In erun-
ton thousands of tons of it are squirt
ed up the pipe" and out of the crater.
AS it flows out over the edge II soon
cools and leaves a thick, ropy coating
which spreads over the entire coun
tryside
But it is only on the top that it really
cools. A few inches below the sur
face of the lava is often red hot. Wis
itors are often invited to light their
cigarettes in the chinks Of bed Of
lava that has been lying out in the
open air for twenty years or more.
1t Is the most wonderful noncon-
ductor of heat known BorIngs made
through some lava beds have shown
that they are made up of layers of lava
ana layers of uumelted snow. AS sue
cesslve torrents Of lava came pouring
down the surface that lay on the
snow cooled at once. and the surface
open to the air also cooled at once
But between the two surfaces there
was blazing heat; so if you bored
down through some lava beds Won
would find a cool upper surface, a

In fact, a layer of lava will let nei-

Lava dust has the same properties

the winter with lava dust so that
they may have it when the scorching
days of summer arrive.

A curious point has always been
noticed when Vesuvius is in eruption,
and that is the strong odor of washing
day that hangs around the mountain.
One might wonder why the slopes
of such a mountain are so thickly
populated when there is always dan

lava mud. Well, the reason is that
volcanic soil is always very fertile.

RACE OFFICIALS
To HAVE SEATS

For the night of the skating mara
thon at the Princess rink, a platform
viii be built in the center of the rink
to be used exclusively by officials, scor-
ers, timers and newspaper men. The
present idea of the management is to
have skating the early part of the
evening, having the race started at
nine O'Clock, so as to have it over not
later than eleven o'clock, and if any
thing like fast time is made the Win
nar should be over the line long be-
fore that hour
At present great interest is being
taken in the first race Of its kind ever
held in Honolulu, and a large crowd
are expected to be present. Two dates
have been proposed for the event,
April 20 and %, but the choice be-
tween them has not been made.
If the first marathon is a success
another one will be held on the night
of Memorial Day. Several people hav
been asked to contribute a gold medal
Tor the race is to be won three times
before it becomes the property of the
one winning it, and before the week
is over the donors name will be an

When you are offered a
ready roofing which is coated
with sand, mica, or pebbles,
you can make up your mind
that you are paying roofing
prices for the coating.
For such coating does not
help the roof. 1t is merely a
talking point" to make the
roof seem different from what
it really is.
Such coating, in fact, is a
detriment. For it washes off
after a few rains, leaving a
roughened surface on the roof
ing, and choking up cutters
and drain pipes.
The reason why coated roof
ings are offered you is because
there are 800 substitutes for
the genuine Ruberoid, all look
ing much the same.
By adding sand to the roof
ing, it is made to appear diff
ferent-that is all. And you
pay for a mere selling feature,
when you ought to be getting
roofing value.

Seventeen Years Of Service

The first Ruberoid roofs

Ruberoid roofing is suitable
for any b III ldin g-from a
woodshed to a large factory or
public building.
1t also comes in attractive
colors-Red, Green, Brown
for use on fine homes.
But before deciding on any
roofing, for any purpose, send

Choosing a Heroine

 They were standing ankle-deep in the snow at the entrance of the Chap manegrounds.
 And so you have chosen Miss Malt ney as the model for the heroine of your new book?" asked Esther Chap. man after a pause.
 Yes, I have" Crane Hartigan re- piled, slowly, I've patterned my lead. ing character after Miss Maltney, not because there are any sentimental re- lations between us, but because she is such a fearless, buoyant young woman, and fits so admirably into my story. To me she is the personificatiou of womanly dash and courage!"
 T don't suppose such a quite home body like me would"
 Hartigan never heard the rest, for down the glistening road, sleigh bells tangled clear in the frosty afr
 'Oh, here they come now!" Esther exclaimed, stepping out into the road Wont it be dandy riding in that big, toboggan-like thing? I suppose Miss Maltney will be in the party?"
 There was no need for reply; the sleigh, drawn by four horses hove in sight over the hill. The moonlight re- vealed Miss Maltney perched up fear lessly beside the driver waving a vel come to the man and the girl by the roadside. The horses were lifting their hoofs high-evidently they enjoyed kicking up the snow clouds that shone like crystal mist in the starlight. With flourish, the driver brought them to standstill in front of the Chapman home.
 All aboard for the ice palace on the moonlight trail!" cried Miss Malt ney exhilaratingly.
 Hartigan assisted his companion up into the sleigh. "All ready!" he sang out, ,leaping in himself.
 Then, with crack of the whip, the horses were of again. As they whirled

along through the snow Miss Maltney wasa perfect battery of wit and hilar- ity, keeping everybody's spirits at top notch
 No wonder Crane took her for heroine model" thought Esther Chap man. "She is certainly splendid"
 But suddenly, as swiftly as an echo flies, every volley of laughter ceased In rounding sharp curve, one of the horses slipped and fell to it's knees. The driver, with a tug, brought the animal to its feet again. But the jerk had been too violent, and the man was thrown headlong from his seat into a snowbank by the road.
 The horses, frightened by the mis- hap, and feeling no hand on the lines, bolted and broke into run. In few seconds they were going at breakneck pace, the sleigh swinging from one side of the road to the other and be- ing almost overturned with every lunge
 Miss Maltney, instead of trying tt. gather up the reins, gave scream of terror as she clambered of the high seat, and dropped back into the body of the sleigh.
 Jump! Jump for your lives!" she cried.
 But the warning came too late. The horses were going too fast for any body to risk leap from the vehicle The moment Miss Maltney sprang from the drivers seat, Esther Chap man, who had been in two or three runaways and who knew horses as she did people, leaped to her feet. In flash she pulled herself up over the back of the front seat and reached for the lines that dangled across the dashboard.
 Hartigan saw what she was at tempting to do and he followed her, gaining the point of vantage a second later. Already Esther had the lines in hand, and as Hartigan planted his feet against the front of the sleigh, she thrust them between his fingers.
 Pull! Pull with all your might Cranei" she urged.
 Hartigan threw himself back will all his weight, but the speed of the horses did not diminish one hoof-clat- ter. In another second Esther had gripped her hands on his, but their combined efforts didn't have any ef. feet except to keep the plungine horses in the middle of the road

THE REWARD OF PoLlIENEss
Not Always What Might Be Expected by Those Who Make Room In
 . Street Car.

Sometimes" said MT. MacWhackle- ton, I've entertain angels unawares, and then again sometimes we enter tain people who turn out to be far from angels, as witness what may hap pen to us when we try to be civil to somebody in street car.
 Here are two persons sitting com- fortably side by side with ample room, the two occupying the space of about two persons and a half, and then in comes another passenger who stands up in front of these two, holding on by strap. Then presently these two move along a little, away from each other making little space between, enough to give the newcomer room to sit down on the edge of the seat, mak- ing not the most comfortable sitting place in the world, but one better than none.
 'The newcomer, he or she, as the case may be, accepts the seat thus offered and for a minute or two sits in 1t quietly. well forward, without crowding or incommoding the two per sous who had thus been polite, and then the stranger begins crowding back until he has wedged himself in between the two persons who had made room for him and got his back against the back of the seat, now ma king the situation uncomfortable for all three. But the newcomer has not yet got through with what he has set +Jut to do.
 Now he manages to get one shoul- der in back of the shoulder of the per son sitting at one side of him, so dis placing that person, and then the new conner gradually but firmly inserts his other shoulder back of the shoulder of the person on the other side and dis lodges him from the seat back, with the result that now the person for whom room had been made sits with his, or her. as the case may be, shoul- ders both back against the back of the seat, thus occupying now a full seat space, while the two persons who had politely made way are now both forced forward and made to sit un- comfortably on the edge of the seat.
 "It is occurrences like this that make us slow to entertain people, be- cause they make us so doubtful as to what they will turn out to be-"
