lava LAND OF VOLCANOES
Country Has From Earliest Timei
Been Devastated by Turbulent
Forces of Nature.

Java, with a territory about equal tc
New York state, has more volcanoes
than any area Of like size, and yet
has more inhabitants than the states
Of New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois
Ohio and Texas combined. A bulletin
of the National Geographic society finds
that estimates Of the active and ex.
tinct craters range from 100 to 100,
Everywhere in Java, In the huge
crater lakes, in assures that now are
river beds, even in ancient temples,
half-fnished when interrupted by some
fiery convulsiOn. are evidences Of cata-
clysmic forces-such turbulent forces
as now are in continuous hysteria in
the valley Of the Ten Thousand
Smokes in Alaska and break their
crusted surface cage intermittently In
Jaca." The late eruption of the klot
Tor Kalut) volcano cost the lives OF
10000 natives, destroyed 10000 acres
Of crops by the flow of hot mud, and did
millions Of dollars damage outside by
the falling ashes. This devastation,
however, was mild compared with the
violent upheaval Of 1888, when Mother
Nature planted a Gargantuan Internal
machine on the Java doorstep at Kra-
kaoa. The terrific detonation was
heard In Australia. as far away as Ell
Paso is from New York, much of the
island was blown into the air four
times as high as the highest mountain,
and the hole left under water where
most Of the island had been is so deep
that plumb line to touch bottom must
be twice the length Of the Washington
monument. The isolation lessened the
toll of lives, many Of the 5000 deaths
having been due to the tidal waves
that flooded distant shores.

Plan Long Aerial Service
From Australia TO London
(Assooiated Press CORRESPONDENCE. !,

NASSOctuteu PTeSS correspondence.
SYDNEY, Australia, July 9.-Sur-
vey of the route of the first section OF
the projected aerial service between
Sydney and London was recently COM
pleted. The section extends from
Sydney to Darwin, which is on the
north coast of Australia and relative
ly near the Malayan Archipelago. The
service will be carried on by a Sydney
company.
From Darwin the route will cross
the sea to the island of Timor proceed
along the Malayan Archipelago to
India and thence run to Bagdad or
Port Said-probably the latter. From
o Said it will cross Europe to Lon
don. The survey of the second Sec
ton of the route, from Darwin
through Malaga to Delhi, is now going
IN.
1t is expected that the first flight
will be made within the next few
months, and it is planned to have the
proposed passenger and commercial
services in full operation in about two
years. If the company succeeds Lon
don will be reached regularly from
here in 6 1-2 days.
The Sydney-Darwin section is 1000
miles. But the survey party travelled
about 1000 miles in order to select
the most satisfactory landing places
o. relay stations.
When the flights are in full swing
business between Sydney and London
will be greatly facilitated from the
that letters may be answered
within two weeks of their dispatch
from here.

policy of preparation for war in
some of the speeches he has deliver

inform the Australian government
concerning matters of naval policy.
when discussions Jake place on
such subjects as the League of Ma

Great Britain suffered from a lack of
insufficient ships to guard the long

that we are never in want of sufi-
