out beds Of lava begin to be encouD-
tered on every hand. II is 80 years
since the flow ceased, and vegeta-
ton is now beginning to cover the
area of destruction. The route fol-
lows the edge of the lava beds for
a distance of about 20 minutes walk,
and then turns across the scattered
array of hummocks to where, a hun
dred yards further on, is the entrance
to the cave or tunnel. The view from
this point is extensive and varied.

and the scene is completed leftwards
by the snow-capped summit of Mauna
Kea- But the special object of the
trip is to see what lies below. The
storekeeper who lives near will sup
ply rough-and-ready torches for five
cents each. and no farther outfit is
really required for the trip under
ground, though there are some dain-
ty mortals who bring suit of over
alls. The torches are joints of lam
boo filed with oil, I'm which is a prim-
tive wick, and they prove most effec-
tive. The opening to the tunnel is
shrouded by a thicket of scrub. A
wooden ladder leads down to the floor,
a distance of perhaps rs feet. Rows
of diminutive stalactites hang from
the roof. glittering in their youth, for
they are hardly more than 20 years
old and in the formative stage. The
sides of the passage are smooth and
sometimes damp, but the floor Is
scored and rough
A distance of three miles can be
covered with the help of the torch,
but care is needed where the tree
roots thrust themselves through the
roof of the tunnel. The presence of
these pendant roots indicates that the
surface of the lava bed is only few
feet above. and judicious blasting
would usefully provide another en-
trance near the beautiful Rainbow
Falls. In places crawling has to be
resorted to, but a few strokes of
pickax would doubtless remove the
necessity for even STOPPING.

NJ EW YORK.-Rear Admiral Robley

Of the American regular army and
see II this Is not correct. Take the
Indian wars from 1889 to 1912, a Pc
Rod of % years. Twenty officers and

Appleton, the owner of Camp Warren.
took his gray mare Fanny down to the
water for a bath during the recent
warm weather. they had not been
splashing about long before the man
saw that some $50 feet OF shore some
one was clinging to an overturned
rowboat and making feeble signals of
distress. Mr.. Appleton lost no time
in climbing on the mares back and
whispering to her what the trouble
was.
She seemed TO agree with him that
something would have to be done I'm.
mediately. and swan on toward the
overturned boat AS they drew near
through the waves Mr.. Appleton saw
that the man was all but conscious
from exhaustion and that they had
come none too soon. In a few mo-
ments he had lifted the half limp fie-
ure to the mares back and held him
there. while Fanny, swimming as she
never swum before, carried her double
burden to shore.
Under the ministrations of people
on shore. the man was soon righted
and able to introduce himself as
George Richards Of New York CITY
He had been fishing, he said, and the
choppy sea was too much for him.
His boat was smacked so severely
by one wave that II overturned and he
had been hanging on for twenty min,

THRILLS OF CHASE
IN THE BACK YARD
Brooklynite Makes the Discovery
That Cats Are Good Quarry.
PUTS STOP TO WALLS
spoIIs Unrivaied Trystlng Place for
Cats Contemplating matrimony,
Where Ardent Toms Gave Loud
Voice to Their Sentiments.

Brooklyn, N. YOU can't shoot
bear or moose In New York state, but
one ardent sportsman. whose work
keeps him from satisfying his love OF
the chase where wild life abounds,
has satisfied his craving for that
form of excitement in this way:
Fate has decreed that he should live
in Brooklyn, and around the back
yard Of his home runs high board
fence. This fence is the night prom
enade for all the cats from Jorale-
mon street to Coney Island. Old maid
cats come there to meet distant rela-
tives, sedate married cats bring their
families, and as a trysting place for
cats contemplating matrimony 1t is IN
rivaled. There is a church right back
of the house, and In the shadows OF
its gothic arches ardent Toms give
voice to their sentiments In walls that
pervade the neighborhood.
The sportsman stood all this with
such patience as he could command
until one night, not so long ago, his
wife aroused him from his beauty"
sleep to tell him she was sure some
heartless wretch had abandoned a
baby In the churchyard.
You must go over there and make
sure" she said. Il can't stand It q
minute longer"
My DEAR" he expostulated, ITS the
dead of night and very chilly"
His remonstrances we're cut short
by a long-drawn wall such as could
only come from baby suffering from
hunger and cold. Hastily he donned
dressing gown and slippers, and,
stumbling down the dark. front stairs,
made for the churchyard. AS he en-
tered the gate he found the policeman
on fixed post at the corner had
spotted him and was close at his toels.

PLAN U. S. CATHOLIC THEATER
Promoters to Have Nation Wide
Union to Eradicate the I'm
moral Plays.

New York.-The so-called national
Catholic theater movement is expect
ed to take definite shape here. The
plan or organization, as officially out
lined. provides for nationwide union
for the eradication OF immoral drama
from the American stage. The in
fiuence of the movement is to be con-
centrated In New York, while foun-
dalton is being laid at the same time
in every city for local support of
reputable plays"
The organization will be governed
by a national committee, which will
invite the formation In each city of
a Catholic civic committee under the
supervision of its bishop. The civic
committee in each city will form sub
committees in each parish. The open
ing of a theater In New York under
Catholic supervision IL part of the
plan.
