HAWAlPS VOLCANIC INFERNO.
A Peep Into kilauea's Lake of Brim-
stone and Fire.

A Peep Into kilauea's Lake of Brim-
stone and Fire.
Kilauea, in Hawaii, is a round, ex-
tinct crater about three miles across
and 700 or 500 feet deep. 1t has been
the scene of terrific explosions in past
ages. but it has now dwindled to the
small active crater of Halemaumau,
which is sunk near the middle of it
like a huge pot, 200 or more feet deep
and 1000 feet across.
In the midafternoon a party of eight
Of ten of US on horseback set out to
visit the volcano. The trail led down
the broken and shelving side Of the
crater, amid trees and bushes, till it
struck the floor Of lava at the bottom.
Our course took us out over the
cracked and contorted lava beds, where
no green thing was growing. The
forms of the lava flow suggested
mailed and writing dragons, with
horrid, gaping mouths and vicious
claws. The lava crunched beneath the
horses feet like shelly and brittle ice.
At one point we passed over a wide,
jagged crack on a bridge. AS we neared
the crater the rocks grew warm and
sulphur and other fumes streaked the
air.
When half a mile from the crater we
dismounted and, leaving our horses in
charge of the guide, proceeded on foot
over the cracked and heated lava rocks
toward the brink of this veritable
DEVILS caldrom. The sulphur fumes
are so suffocating that it can be ap-
preached only on the windward side
The first glance into that fearful pit
is all that your Imagination can picture
1t. You look upon the traditional lake
Of birthstone and fire, and if devils
were to appear skipping about over the
surface with pitchforks, turning their
victims as the cook turns her frying
crullers in the sputtering fat, it would
not much surprise you. This liquid is
rather thick and viscid, but it is boil
ing furiously. Great masses Of it are
thrown up forty or fifty feet and fall
with a crash like that of the surf upon
the shore
The mass of boiling lava is said TO be
about one and one-half acres in extent.
Its surface is covered with large masses
Of floating crust, black and smooth,
like leather or roofing paper, and be-
tween these masses. or islands, the
molten lava shows in broad. vivid
lines. 1t is never quiet.
Looking upon this scene with the
thought Of the traditional lake Of fire
and birthstone of our forefathers in
mind, you would say that these black,
filthy looking masses floating about on
the surface were the accumulation of
all the bad stuff that had been fried
out Of the poor sinners since hell was
invented. How much wickedness and
uncharity and evil thought it. would
represent! If the poor victims were
clarified and made purer by the proc
ess, then il would seem worth while

too powerful for a child. The homes of
Mrs. Carrie Mcdonald, 1896 Trigg Ave-,
Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs. Sallie E. Grif-
fifth, Veechdale, KY, are always supplied
with DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
1t is really more than laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after a brief
use Of it all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do it's own work.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar a large bottle (family size) can
have sample bottle sent to the home
free of charge by simply addressing DR..

looking into the cold faces of
their beloved dead, have not felt
an eager wish to follow into the
unknown world, and how many
would have followed had they
been inspired by the same indy
ing faith that led General Nogi
and his wife to seek their tragic
end?We sometimes complain that
we must take the future world
on faith, because none of our
friends has come back to testify
to its real existance, But if we

Bowels are Basis
of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
q child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child teaspoonful of DIR. CALDWELL s
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night If
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally
