Marie is snatched up bodily into q
tree from a galloping horse. In the
third she sinks below the waters OF
Lost Lake and fails to reappear The
fourth episode finds Sergeant Win

In the fifth Marie is agaie put to

her pu.'suers, she starts to cross
a rope bridge across the deep canyon.
She is disco cred and the bridge Is
cut from under her feet As it drops
she clutches desperately at the guide

of the Carnegie institute, who arrived
here recently from Honolulu en- route
to Washington, did some scientific
fishing while in the Hawaiian Islands.
Instead of hooking the wary fish he
angled for gases in the molten lava
of Kilauea from the rim of the vol

consists of twenty sealed vacuum
tubes containing the gases which will
be subjected to a laboratory analysis.
Describing his trip, he said:
eve wanted to find out what forces
are at work inside Kilauea, making it
"boiling" volcano. To do this we
had to analyze the gases inside the
mountain. AS soon as this gas comes
intos touch with the outside air it be-
comes useless for our purpose, as it
burns. At the top of the volcano is
the famous lake of molten rock. On
its surface is scum or crust. Under
this crust of boiling matter is the
gas. From time to time blue gas
flames shoot up through the crust.
"To obtain this gas and analyZe it
we fastened vacuum tubes to the end
of fishing rods. With tehse fishing
rods in our hands we took up our posi-
tion on the none too stable bank OF
the lake of molten rock. Whenever
we saw blue flame squirting ur
through the hole in the lava we dipped
cur vacuum tubes in, got the gas anc
