On the island of Ninafow, halfway
between Fiji and Samoa, is a volcanic
ring inclosing a crater containing a
lake two miles in diameter. Toward
the sea the ring is bordered with walls
of black cliffs 200 to 800 feet in height.
An eruption in 1886 formed a PENN
sula on the eastern side of the lake.
While the ocean outside is trembling
and laundering under heavy wind
the lake remains smooth or is simply
wrinkled with ripples or wavelets.

And then what are you going to
do about that, I'd like to know?
AS ! see it, the mere matter of
size is only lil2aited by the amount
Of money and daredevilosity that
nation wants to invest. Get
that started, and the next thing
you know ten or twelve other
nations would have 'Terrors'' of
their own that could eat our
Terror up for breakfast.
Amt you got sense enough to
Esee that that's what it would all
amount to? 'Safact.
One more thought. Suppose
we had a warship so tarnation
big that there wasn't room in the
ocean for anything else so big
that we'd have to move the
islands to let the blamed thing
turn around. And what could
we do with a monster like that?
What good would it be? Why, it
would be like trying to kill a
chinch with a saw-log. While we
were getting our big awkward

of 1ying-machines could sail owe,

LETTERS FROM TIE FOLKS.

8 Dear Comrade Pearson: / am al

and read the old party papers every

Killer. So here is club OF eight.
Say, old-timer, l don't much believe
in lavishing too much eulogy and
flowers on the graves of the dead,
but with Ingersoll would say, 'Let
us put wreaths on the brows of the
living.o And so want to put wreaths

and r. Don Laws. believe in relig-
ion and -God-and also in Christ.
That's the reason am Socialist. Ii
I was an infidel would be a Repubi-
can, a Democrat or Bull Moose.
Socialism means not only economic
freedom, but what is infinitely more,
/ it means intellectual freedom and
spiritual development. It means some
thing to be an intellectual Socialist.
1t means something far more vital
than can be expressed in mere words.
It takes the deep, analytic research
of student to truly understand So.

Dear Pearson:
Since reading the July number of
The Fool Killer / have caught your
spirit and feel that must say a word
or two or bust. I don't know when |
ever read anything that did me as
much good as your article, The
Political Pot Has Billed Over.o It
certainly has, and about half put the
fire out, and I amt sure the blamed
old pot amt cracked 'sfor good and
sartin. y I agree with your ideas to a
dot in regard to the infdel Socialists.
They have no right to inject their
heresies into the party, when, in fact,
it's PLATFORM doesen't do it. Your
article on ''The Socialism of jesus
is a gem-the best thing you've writ
ten lately. The article on the Ameri-
can Eagle is corker, and just as true
as it is funny. subscribed last winter
to laugh and grow fat,n but I some
times feel like Twill laugh lot of my
fat off over some of your pieces.
They are SO true as well as funny.
A funny truth is the funniest fun OF
all. You are on the right track, and
you surely are killin' 'em. I want
to get. up club for The Fool-Kille1
soon if can get time. Long may you1
old goose-quill flop and your old press
keep greasy. Very truly,

loose and the old musket loaded
with flint rocks.
Old Ben Tillman has stuck his
blind eye through hole in the
future and counted the wrinkles
on the horns of Time.
With his prophetic yard-stick
old Ben has measured the size Of
the battleships of the future, and
he sees that the race for SUI
premacy'' in battleship construc-
ton is destined to go right on
and on if something amt done.
You know how it is now the
United States builds a monster
battleship, then Germany must
build one a little bigger, ana then
of course England must cap it off
with still bigger one in order
to keep ahead. After all the big
nations have had a crack at it
and each one has outdone some
body and, in turn, been outdone
by somebody else, then the only
thing possible is to start in and
do it all over again on a little
bigger scale. It all reminds me
of gang of little foul-mouthed,
cigarette-sucking boys out behind
the barn trying to see who can
cuss the biggest and tell the big
gest lies.
Ben thinks there must be a
stopping place to that game
somewhere, and he wants Uncle
Sam to find it and go straight to
it like scared rat going to its
hole.
The Tillman resolution recent
ly passed by the Senate proposes
for Uncle Sam to build the
greatest warship possible under
modern naval conditions - the
very greatest and best that the
world has ever seen or ever viii
see." 1t proposes, further, t.
name the new ship Terror
and make it the "peacemaker O

EDITOR OF CLARION;

CSDlIOh VI SLAniONS
Dear SIR
The question has been asked
by natives and strangers since these Blue
Ridge Mountains are inhabited, what
causes that blue haze, rainbow color, 80
prominent in this chain of mountains?
have travelled in the Green Mountains.
in the Ozark Mountains, in the Rocky
Mountains, but never experienced the
like. Among the many inhabitants who
were questioned, one gave the following
reply: "that the Professor at st. Mary's
College said, it is ozone." Ozone is
form of oxygen. That reply did not sat
isfy the writer, for let US see what is
oxygen.
Oxygen is represented to be gas
which generates acids and oxides and
forms the respirable or vital part of COM
mon air. Oxygen is everywhere. 1t is
our life part. But the blue haze is not
everywhere. Humans miles away from
the Blue Ridge mountain and the blue
haze can move and live and have their
beings without the blue haze. Then if it
is neither ozone nor oxygen, what is it?
After lingering books and thinking
ever and anon, have at last been re-
warded by the pen of DR.. j. Morrison.
NJ. D. Phi. D., and the following lines on
the may subject explain themselves:
1.-THE second great convulsion occurred
when the Appalachian chain of mount
aims was heaved up from beneath the
briny waves. Some igneous rock was
brought to the surface as appears from
beds of granite in New Hampshire, in
Adirondacks, and other parts of the
chain. There is no evidence of volcanic
eruptions of lava throughout the entire
course, and if any volcanoes existed they
probably emitted hot water, steam and
other gases. In the upheaval of this
mighty chain of mountains, very extern
sive cracks or faults" must have been
made both on the east and west sides of
the chain. 1t is along these that recent
seismic disturbances have occurred.
These cracks are now Theoretically and
perhaps eternally closed or sealed up by
the pressure of the adjacent walls of the
crust, but it is very probable that in some
places there may be small assures or
vents still open which emit gas or
aqueous vapor. This may account for
the blue haze or mist which always hangs
over the eastern portion of Appalachian
chain and which has given to it the name
Of the blue Ridge mountains, while no
such haze to any appreciable extent
covers the western portions of the range
known as the Allegheny and Cumberland
mountains"
Very respectfully,

1.-THE Child CrusOes."

This is the title of picture which will
be shown by Mr.. Lewis O'Toole in Town
Hall next Saturday evening, February
oath. The story is as follows:
Little orphan Jack is anxious to be-
come a sailor. and explore the mysteries
of foreign lands of which he has often
read. He pleads with Captain Rhines to
take him on board his ship. The Captain
refuses and little Jack hides himself as
stowaway. Some days afterward he is
discovered, brought on deck and is about
to be punished, when May, the Captains
daughter, intercedes in his behalf and
saves Jack from being disciplined.
In the midst of terrific storm the ship
strikes rock and is fast sinking. The
ships crew become demoralized, rush for
the life boat, and regardless of the Cap
tain, his daughter May and little Jack,
it is carried far beyond the possibility of
returning. The captain builds raft on
which the three castaways embark. At
ter drifting all night, they are carried to
an island inhabited by savages. Making
their way over the rockbOund coast,
Captain Rhines misses his footing, and is
dashed to his death on the rocks below.
Little Jack and May are now alone. They
succeed in building themselves crude
shelter, and with few utinsls and Jacks
gun, they manage to live.
Smoke from the fire which the children
have made attracts the attention of the
savages. Jack, brave little fellow, seizes
May by the hand and makes his way to
the coast in an effort to escape. Jack
shoots the foremost of the savages and
gains in the getaway" An officer from
an American man-of- war hears the crack
of Jacks rifle, lands men, meets the
children, while his marines STAY their
pursuers. Soon the children are sailing
to the 'land of the free and home of the
brave"
