Washington. Since the little island
Of zap was mentioned the other day
Mt the White House conference be-

been a general demand for information
about this former German possession,
which the American navy wants for

According to the National Geograph-

western Caroline islands, is situated
about 500 miles southwest of Guam
and 800 miles east of the island OF
NIindanao, of the Philippine group. 1t
has a population of about 1000.
zap Is strangely old and strangely
up to date. Its inhabitants are stlll in
the stone age Of progress. The natives
are strict prohibitionists. Bachelor
clubs closed to the women dot the
islands. Food and drink and clothes
all grow on trees In zap wealth Is
truly n burden. A single coin Of their
stone money sometimes weighs hun
dreds of pounds. Yap, or Jap, when
translated, means the land, and is the
only land that many of the islanders
know.
Married and unmarried men alike
belong to the club, which maintains a

Juneau, Alaska. Volcanic peaks In

are In eruption this summer. evidently
Tor the benefit OF party of scientists
sent by the National Geographic SO
ciety to study Mount katlnaI, the
greatest of Alaska's smoking noun
tains. and its valley of Ten Thou

Persons who have returned recently
from the volcanic country to the west
ward said Shshaldm peak on Uninlak

ERUPTION recently. They also reported
II was believed Mount Bavioff on the
southwestern Alaskan mainland, also
had spouted as ths snow about the
summit was coal black.
Last "BIowoff" in 1912.
When the party Of scientists left
Anchorage Alaska, on their way to
the katmai country, they said they be-
lieyed there was little likelihood OF AN
ernption this summer and declared
thew were certain there was absolutely
no danger attached 10 the investiga-
tion. Kntmai's last big 'blowotf'' was
In June. 1912.
The party Of twenty-six scientists Is
headed by Professor Robert A. Grggs
OF the University of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie institute. They
were planning to make observations
of the botanical biological and geo
logical effects of the 1912 eruption.
In 1913 Professor Griggs headed Il
party of scientists TO kainai ana re-
turned with the announcement That
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that near katmai lay great
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands of mouths vomiting gray
vupory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named ''rhe Valley Of
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead or
10000, 1t is said there are literally
millions Of smoking vents.
Set Aside by Congress-
Congress recently set aside "The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property, and it is believed
that some day it will be II second yell
lOwstone geyser field. Steamlng
springs, 1t Is said, will eventually take
the place of the present smoking
vents.
Professor Grlggs and his party ex-
pected to remain In the katmai dis
trict until the middle Of September.
Until they return nothing probably
will be heard from them, as there Is
no direct means of communication.
Mrs. Griggs and her children accom-
panied the professor to Kodiak, an
island near Katmai, and will remain
there during the summer waiting for
him to return.
Moving pictures of the smoking
mountain and valley are to be brought
back by the party.
