ROOSTER STOPS
WILD VOLCANO
Coal Black Chicken Thrown Into
Mouth of sputtsring Mountain
Put End to IT'S
Rumblings.

HILO, ISLAND OF HAWAII. (By
mail .)-Owners of coal black game
cocks are keeping out an eye TO see
that the chicken house door Is locked
securely every night.
And that's all because the volcano
off KiIauea is now the most active ii
has been for thirty-fve years.
Six months ago Kilauea was sput-
tering away in its mile wide bowl of
burning, molten rock, with the level
of the flaming crimson sea OF boiling
lava 900 feet from the top of the
crater.
The night that Secretary of tire
Navy Daniels and his party PAID
Kilauea a visit-the latter part OF
lAugust-the level of the seathing
lava lake was about fifty feet below
the crater's top.
Several overflows already have oc-
Cured A cone which once juttcd
500 feet above the crater's top has
melted away into the sea Of fire.
Two hours after the secretary and
his party left the volcano the lock
wall between the main crater and a
second smaller one, caved in, joining
the craters.
And Kilauea still is going stroLg.
AS to the connection of all this
with coal black game cocks? oh,
that's very simple.
Many years ago. when the Islands
first were becoming a white mans
land, KiIauea became angry. L roar
ed and Missed and sputtered and lie
ground shook. Then the lava over
flowed and moved slowly down The
mountain side toward Hilo.
The native Hawaiians had been
christians but a comparatively short
time. Their fright knew no bounds,
for the island legends were full Of
the tales of what Kilauea did when
Madame Pele, the goddess who lived
in KIlauea's crater, became angry.
So the Hawaiians prayed that The
flow would stop. But 1t didn't.
Then they danced. But that was
ineffective.
Finally, forgetting their christian
ity for a time, they sent a party by
canoe TO Honolulu to consult a few
remaining priests Of the days when
they all worshipped the strange,
South sea dieties,
Throw black rooster into the
lava flow" was the advice they
brought back.
The sleekest, shiniest cock on the
island of Hawaii was picked for the
sacrifice, and while the maidens
danced. the warriors cast the squak-
ing bird into the base of the lava
flow.
In an hour the flow had stopped.
Madame Pele, the most feared god
dess of the island, evidently had been
satisfied with chicken dinner

believe that If there is ever another

HgiouS foundations and was great seat of monastic learning.
 With the transfer of the Frankish capital to Metz began a long era of changes for Treves. The city passed to Lorraine in S43 and to the east Frankish kingdom in S70. It was sack cd by the Northmen in SS1 after it had become q permanent part of what Is now Prussia. IL became free city toward the close of the sixteenth cen tury. The French held it briefly three times in the seventeenth century and in 1794 captured 1t again and abolished the archbishOpric. The congress of Vienna in 1S14-1S15 gave it back to Prussia. It figured several times in the war just closed, being bombarded by allied aerial forces.
 The modern city of Treyes occupies almost the exact site of the ancient town. It nestles pieturesquelY in the valley of the Moselle river and is sur rounded by hills covered with the vine- yards from which comes the famous Moselle wine. The newer section con tains broad streets and modern build ings. The streets in the old part are narrow and crooked. The Porta Mi gra, an enormous fortified gateway, was built by the Romans. In the southeastern part of the city is the palace of the Roman kings now q pie tufesque mass of ruins. h the south western section are the Roman baths, vast and impressive ruin, and short distance away is q Romaa amphithea- ter built in Emperor Traian's time

FIT is an odd coincidence that the most modern occurrence in Pras-
 sia-its occupation by American
 traops-should begin with it's old est city. observes a writer in the Kan Sas City Times. Treves, or Trier, as the Germans call it. into which the Tanks marched recently, is older than history. which begins for it half q cen tury before the birth of Christ Then, as the capital of the Celtic Treviri, one of the most powerful Belgian tribes, 1t was captured by the Romans under Julius Caesar. It was made a Roman colony under the name of Au- gusta Treyirorum and was strongly fortified. By II B. C. it had become the most important northern outpost of the Roman empire. It was an im- perial residence early in the Christian era and the administrative center from which Gaul Britain and Spain were ruled. The poet Ausonius described it as Rome beyond the Alps" Constan- tine the Great lived there about twen- ty-five years. He and his successors beautifed it with public works and magnificent private villas dotted the hillside all around. Some of the finest Roman relics north of the Alps re main to this day in Treves.
 From the earliest times Treves, be- cause of it's strategic position and the rich country surrounding it, was an object of warfare. The Franks par ticularly desired 1t and they made many expeditions against it. They continued their attacks after the Ro- man occupation. Three times they sacked it and held it for short periods. About the middle of the fifth century they gained permanent possession and made it their capital. The Frankish kings gradually transferred their pow er to Metz, however, and TreveS be- came the seat of powerful religious empire.
 Treyes had Il bishop at very early date. Four great suints of the fourth century are connected with the city. It was the scene of the first banish- ment of St Athanasius; St. Ambrose Was born there; St. Jerome first he came seriously interested in religion while studying there. and St, Martin of Tours went there in 3S5 to plead with the tyrant Maximus for the lives of the heretie Prisctllian and his followers. The great bishop. Sq. Nicetius, built n splendid caste for himself at Treyes in the sixth century. The see became an arehhishopric soon after the begin ming of the ninth century and it's tenn pofal power was founded in sos. when Radbod acquired the tights of the counts of Treves.
