the greatest awe and wonder. To be able to view such phenomena il cur own country with ease and safety is one of the striking merits of the Las sen Peak locality.
 Within easy reach of the mountain base are boiling lakes and springs mud volcanoes, and other evidences of volcanic heat which appeal most strongly to the imagination of every visitor By means of saddle horses the entire party also visited the re- markabIe Ciuder Cone erupted a few hundred years ago, and which is a short distance to the east of the main peak. From the base of this cone there spread out lava flows whose fresh, rugged surfaces give every ap- pearance of having been erupted yes terday, and which are in reality less than @ hundred years old. The open ing in the vase of the Cinder Cone from which the lava poured forth is still well preserved, and easily ac- cessibIe to the visitor The sides of the cone are easily climbed, and from the summit one may look down into a double crater as perfectly preserved and as symmetrical as though the eruption had just ceased.
 "On all sides of the cone are the greyiSh white ash deposits, W which des- cending upon the urrOunding forest
 burned and killed the trees, leaving the trunks still standing as monu- ments to the disaster which overlook them. Close by is Snag Lake, of par ticular interest to the tourist because he can plainly see the lobe of the lava flow which recently damned the
 valley to form the lake, while from the lake waters project the "snags''
 or trunks of trees drowned by the ris- ing waters, and not yet routed away. "On the whole it is difficult to i'm agine 9 region where the more strik- ing phenomena of nature are deveI- oped on @ grander scale or in a man ! ner calculated to appeal more strong ly to tn eaverage individual. The 1 Lassen Peak country is so exceptional that it has always justified special protection because of the natural wonders included in the area and the 1 excellent camping sites which favor 1 the summer visitor. The recent ac- tivity of the volcano has simply add i ed to the wonders already existing in l the district.

THE LAsSEN VOLCANIC
 NATIONAL PARK
Congress Has Just Made a National Park of the Only Active Volcano in the United States.

The Lassen Volcanic National Park, the bill creating which President Wilson has just signed, is CalifOrnia's s fourth national park. Lassen Peak, which showed volcanic activity Cnly a few years ago. was set apart as a na- tiOnal monument in 1906. Cinder Cone in it's immediate neighbOrhOod was all so thus distinguished at the same time. The new national park includes
 both of these remarkable volcanic monuments within it's area of 82,880 acres.
 The region is one of extraordinary interest and the only one in the Uni ted States exhibiting recent volcanic action. Among it's features are Las sen Peak, 10,437 feet elevation and still exhibiting some volcanic activity; North Peak, $500 feet elevation; Southwest Peak over 9,200 feet ele- vation; Prospect Peak, over 9,200 feet elevation: Cinder Cone s 9O7 feet ele- vation; the Devils Half Acre; show
 ing hot springs and mud gevsers; Bumpass, Morgan and other hot springs; seven lakes, many interest ing ice caves and lakes of volcanic glass; numerous trout streams; and
 beautiful and majestic canyons. There are forests of yellow pine, fir, white pine, and 1odgepole.
 Professor Douglas W. Johnson of Columbia University thus describes a recent visit to this great Pacific coast volcano:
 From the summit we had magni- ficent views of the Northern Sierras, the Cascades, the distant Coast ranges, and the mountains of the Great Basin, a panorama which for grand eur can be equalled at but few places in the country.
 ''The products of recent volcanic activity, the escaping steam and gases, the ruined forests for miles to the eastward, marking the path of the great blast which swept destruction before it. reminding one of the similar blast which destroyed San Pierre, Martinique; all bore witness to the activities of that force of nature, which has always inspired man with

As a precaution against the spread of infantile paralysis, the school com mittee has decided not to open the public schools Sept. 4 and to defer the opening until Sept. IS. The public playgrounds have been closed and there is general compliance with the request of Superintendent of Health Stanton to have all children remain at their homes for the present. The closest possible quarantine is main tained on the premises affected and also on places where suspected cases are under investigation. There is no occasion for undue anxiety and fear regarding the presence of the disease, yet the health authorities advise that extreme precaution be taken in regard to the children and urge parents not to permit children to mingle with other children and for the present to limit the places for recreation to their own premises.
 There are such drastic quarantine regulations in Norwich and New Lon don, and in Stonington, too, strength ened since the disease appeared in Pawcatuck and Westerly, that the same quarantine is beneficial to West erly. It prevents children from this place to visit infected sections and also prevents children from other places coming into Westerly, unless provided with a clean bill of health in every in stance.

PerIey GeroId Browne, an Indian half breed. who has intimate acquainta nee with the Westerly police, but who has kept without their tolls for many moons. went on the warpath Monday night in the WeeI<apaug section. In response to a telephone call, Sergeant West went after Browne and brought him to a cell in the police station. Browne says he had been drinking to excess and went to the RCckhaven house to call on a woman friend who was employed in the hotel kitchen. He could not get in by the back door route, so he lore a screen from a win dow under the veranda, to gain en- trance that way, when he was inter rUpted and ordered from the premises. but before he got away the police got him.
 Perley's story did not tally with the story of the mana cement of RoCkhaven and there was insistenCe that he had attempted to break and enter the hotel for the purpose of larceny, and that was the charge demanded by the com blaming party. When arratgned in the Third district court Browne pleaded not guilty. He was held for hearing before the grand jury at the Septem- Der term of the superior court for Washington county.

WeekaPaug HoteI-Band Outing at
 Brishtmen's Pond.
 Douglass Fairbanks, celebrated legit- innate actor, as well as one of the most daring of movie men, son-in-law of Daniel Sully of Watch Hill, is the star in the film play that is being made in and near Watch Hill. Monday night he entertained a Westerly audience, known almost to everyone present, by appearing in a local theatre, where one of his sensational pictures, where he was the real sensation, was being thrown on the screen. MT. Fairbanks spoke Interestingly on the making of moving pictures and showed his famil- iarlty with local conditions by saying Sn substance: Westerly is a pretty place and Watch Hill is elegant; but to ride in an automobile on the road between Westerly and Watch Hill is even more dangerous than any stunt ever attempted by the most daring of movie men,"
 This from Douglass Fairbanks, per haps the most strenuous actor in the army of daring men who seemingly risk life to bring realism into the parts he plays so well in animated pie cures. Douglass Fairbanks, who jumps from a cliff int ca young tree that bends with his weight, and later jumps back on to the cliff, with the aid of a tree, and like a bow shot from an arrow.
 During the past week at Watch Hill he jumped from a high ledge into a tumble of briars and bushes, actually tearing his clothing in extrtcating him self Then. tired, and in Iattered clothes, with real blood flowing from real scratches, jumps upon the run ming board of a fast going automobile, chambers to the top, then jumps and catches a telephone wire and hangs there while the automobile goes on. Then as an organ grinder with a the organ grinder down and makes away with the monkey. This is only one of the many stunts of Douglass Fairbanks, yet he tells an audience, made up in the main of friends and ac- QuaintanCes, that there is more danger in riding in an automobile on the road between Westerly and Watch Hill than in any stunt attempted by a movie actor.
