on the Alaskan Peninsula, "busted,' with a series of explosions that were heard 75O miles. Intense darkness, black as midnight in the daytime, pre- vailed over vast area for sixty hours, and sulphurous fumes were distin- guishable in Puget Sound, 1,500 miles from the burning mountain.
 A Belt Of Fire
 A glance at the map will show that 9 long tongue of land forms an extension of Alaska toward the south west. It is the peninsula referred to, which is intermittent1y continued by a string of islands (the Aleutian Chain) that stretches nearly to Kam- schatka. On the peninsula and those islands are no fewer than siXty-one constantly active volcanoes. It is a region of fire.
 We are far from realizing that within fairly recent times the United States have been the scene of volcanic activities on an enormous scale. The who ole of the desert peninsula called Lower California is a mass of volcanic debris, with many craters still smok- ing. That, of course, is not a part of this country politically; but, crossing the Mexican border into California Arizona and New Mexico, one arrives

was surprised to observe a tiny figure "a gnome- staggering along beneath the weight of a keg. He motioned to Rip to assist him. Rip shouldered the load and started off. Soon they finally came to a green where a num- Der of gnomes were bowling. The leader of the gnomes handed a fiagon to Rip. who raised it a1oft and drank deep. After a moment a strange weakness crept over him, and with one feeble groan he fell unconscious to the ground.
 The years went by. Dame Van Wrinkle, all hope of Rips return abandoned, had been joined in we'd lock to Derrick Won Beekman. Meenie Van Wrinkle had plighted her troth to Heindrick Vedder, her childhood play mate, who had gone to sea. For months nothing had been heard from him. and then Won Beekman an- nounced the receipt of a letter con taining news of Hendricks death. He declared that she must marry Cookies, his deformed nephew, at once or else his roof would shelter her no longer. All preparations for an immediate wedding were made, and then

makes friends with Betty Houston, who is camping with her father. Betty and Moran meet and fall in love. After returning to town Betty breaks her engagement to Luther Nash.
 Betty goes into the mountains in search of Moran and is found by Brent, an enemy of Moran's. He seizes her but is attacked by Flash. On one of his hunting trips Moran meets Betty and on hearing that she has broken her engagement to Nash takes her in his arms.
 In the meantime Betty's father has been captured by outlaws; he is held pending the arrival of the Master Mind"; when the latter appears he turns out to be Nash.
 Nash and Brent quarrel over Betty and the former is killed. Brent then goes to the cabin of the girl and is carrying her off when Flash appears. Brent attempts to escape by jumping off a high cliff into a lake but Flash

their toll, have to be constantly show cred with cold water. Only four miles down is focus of volcanic heat-a mass of molten rocks. In the Yellow stone National Park the flames of literal hell rage not far below the sur face of the ground, as evidenced by boiling springs and other plutonic phenomena; and in the Fire Hole dis trict the whole country seems to be on fire. t.7
 If a place were chosen where the subterranean fires were not too deep down, a couple of pipes might be sunk to reach them, and connection between the two might be established, in the depths, by exploding heavy charges of TINT at their bottoms. By this means the rocks down below could be shat tered in such wise as to permit water to flow through crevices. If there upon a small stream, from a river perhaps, were turned into one of the pipes, it would be converted < into steam as by a gigantic water heater, and the pressure of the falling water would force the steam up through and out of the other pipe. The ap- paratus would work automatically and continuously.
 What Makes \ Volcano Erupt? With all the study that has been given to the problems of ''volcanisn1,' 9 there is still much dispute in regard to the reason why of volcanic eruptions. As rule, the volcanoes recognized as active today are situated on islands or near the sea. Hence the theory that their explosions are caused by infiltration of water, which, finding it's way to masses of molten rocks. is con- info steam and blows things

 In northeast New Mexico is Mount. Capu1in, a beautiful cinder cone 5000 feet in height, with crater nearly a mile in diameter. If the fires which not long ago illuminated it's summit were to break out again, they would ] be visible all the way from Denver to Galveston.

 Region Of Extinct Volcanoes
 To the north, through Idaho, Oregon and Washington, is a region | of gigantic volcanoes. From northern California to the British possessions runs the Cascade Range, chain of | volcanic peaks and cones and crater lakes. In the canyon of the Columbia River are sheets of lava 5000 feet | thick. Shasta has 8 crater nearly 1 mile in diameter and 1, 1000 feet deep.

and quite recently it erupted with no small violence. Engineers say that there is enough fire inside of it to run all the machinery in this country-if only it could be utilized.
 A tunnel driven horizontally from point 2,5oo feet below the crater would have to extend not more than a mile to reach rocks hot enough to forbid it's further extension From thence further progress could be made by big core-drills, the holes thus made being carried far enough to reach the molten stuff inside the mountain Steam need not be fetched out of the mountain in order to use it. One or more large chambers cut out of the rock, far inside, would contain all requisite machinery. With plentiful supply of superheated steam, engines could be run for operating dynamos, whereby the power would be convert ed into electricity. which could be transmitted long distances over wires for industrial and other uses.

 The whole idea for utilizing sub terranean fires is new and as yet un- developed. Plenty of people will de- clare it visionary and impracticable.

 | Some engineers are of opinion that

 There would be perhaps twenty-five

 Illustrative of this idea eff correct) was the great eruption of 1883, on the island of Krakatoa, in the Straits of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra. A big mountain blew itself entirely to pieces, with explosions so tremendous that they were mistaken at a distance of 2.0O0 miles for cannonading. It killed 10000 natives dwelling along the shores of the straits, in the middle of which, in a single night. there was built up a brand-new mountain two miles high and twenty-five miles in circumference,

it's utilization practicable.
 There are, however, exceptions. These, it might be said, are illustrated in a small way by certain "fumaroles" in Southern Italy and Sicily, from which there is a steady escape of steam. People trap the steam and put it to work.
 There is a project now on foot to get power from the crater of Kilauea, in the Hawaiian Islands. That is a volcano rather unique in its way. Not only is it isolated, having no connec- tion apparently with any other vent, but it is neither explosive nor irregu- lar in it's activity.
 Nevertheless, it is continuously ac- tive at all times, the crater-a pit 1,50O feet in diameter. with perpen- dicular sides-containing a lake of liquid lava It looks like a gigantic pot of boiling mush, the molten stuff sometimes rising to within sixty odd feet of the rim, and at other times sinking to 450 feet below it. Tall fountains of flame constantly spring up from the surface, and there are noises as if of an imprisoned giant blowing, snorting and coughing. Here is an immense store of energy. representing millions of continuous horsepower, going to waste. Cannot a portion of it be turned to useful ac- count in some way? That is the problem which engineers are now trying to work out.

the woman who had caused her ruin.
 In the South Sea Islands Sara found a refuge, after her father had died of a sudden heart attack brought on by his rage over the false stories about his daughter. In the Sea Gull Inn, refuge of many a derelict, remittance man and fugitive from justice, Sara becomes a sort of queen, ruling with an iron hand the outcasts who come there.
 One day tragedy stalks across the languid, perfumed tropical scene. A young fellow has fallen in love with Sara and in mad jealousy kills the one he thought to be his rival. Just at this moment, too, Fate had seemed to place within the girls hand the revenge she longed for. The woman who had caused all her misery comes to the Island for a visit. Yet, high and white in the girls heart still flames the love for the sweetheart of her girIhood-the man who is now this woman's husband. To save him from disgrace and heartbreak, Sara takes the blame for the murder-and son.
 Pauline Frederick takes the part
 of Sara.
