VOICE CRYING IN
WILDERNESS AYES
Strange Midnight Means
From Woods.

Butler, N. IA spooky voice has
been crying in the wilderness sur
rounding Mount Calvary cemetery in
the outskirts of this village for ten
successive nights between midnight
and daybreak. Strange shoutings,
not unlike those of an enraged tele-
phone subscriber yelling into the
transmitter, have been heard by pass
ers-by. At least thirty responsible cit
liens who have heard the voice have
tried In vain to solve the mystery.
Roland Marcus and his wife, who
live In Bartholdi avenue, not far from
the cemetery, first heard the voice as
they were retiring for the night. Mar
Gus dressed and with a lantern fol-
lowed the sound, thinking that some
one was in distress, but he could not
locate the source of the cry. Special
Policeman Thomas Spring, on his way
home after midnight, heard the strange
noise and started In the direction of
the sound, but his chase also came to
naught. The other night party of
twelve after hearing the voice in the
dense woods tried to surround the
sound, but without success. Spring
said:
Every night when we hear this
strange voice it seems to come near
.er and grows holder, but we will cap
ture the cuss who is fooling with us
If we are compelled to surround the
woods with posse and close in like
rabbit drive out West"
Early in the year school children
coming home in terror told their par
ents of wild man leaping out of the
woods near the cemetery and bab-
bling incoherent words in loud
voice. The man was never caught.

tinct intellectual and mental char
acteristics, the first and most unusual
of which seems to have been love
of mechanical accuracy that amounted
to a passion, Combined with their
natural mechanical aptitude, this pas
sion resulted In some Of the most
highly skilled work the world has ever
seen. To cite but few examples, In
the Egyptian tombs the granite work
was polished by hand to such an ac-
curacy that its average deviation from
perfect smoothness has been found to
be 1-7000th of an inch.

cano on the globe. Haleakala Is a
mountain mass ten thousand feet high,
with tremendous crater rift in its
summit eight miles in diameter and
three thousand feet deep, containing
many high lava cones. Haleakala is
probably the largest of all known
craters among volcanoes that are tech
nically known as active. 1t erupted
less than two hundred years ago"
Kilauea has not erupted like this
since 1890. People from all over the
islands have crowded in to see the
sight. One man was killed by fall
| ing rock and several were knocked
down. The danger zones, however,
are not wide.
In the prehistoric past Kilauea blew
It's head off in tremendous explosion.
1t is only about 1000 feet high now
This crater is a part of Mauna Loa
Chg Mountain), which towers up to
1875 feet, is snow-capped and has its
own crater, Mokuaweoweo. Halemau-
mau Is Kilauea's inner pit in the floor
of the crater. 1t is mile In circum-
ference and contains at all times
raging sea of molten lava, It's white
hot waves flashing and gnawing at the
imprisoning walls, and Its vast foun-
tains Of incandescent rock eternally
fiinging their fiery spray in air, seeth-
ing and roaring in awful grandeur.
The molten sea rises and falls perl
odically, at times even overlooking the
rim Of the pit and spreading out over
the floor of the main crater, while red
hot crags and massive islands rise
from its depths to either collapse In
tumultuous avalanches or subside
gently beneath the surface of the
lava. The pit is fascinating by day
light, but at night, when the impris-
oned fires are at their grandest, the
scene is enthralling. Ordinarily 1t may
be witnessed in perfect safety.
Halemaumau is well named, being
literally a place of everlasting fire.
And it is always spectacular. At times
of unusual activity the sea Of molten
lava is a great sight.
In March of 1921 was such time
OF UNUSUAL ACTIVITY. LIE ldVd SusSeu
up to the top Of the pit, swept over
the rim and overfiowed far out on the
floor of the crater. Halemaumau was
never more spectacular. The lava
boiled and geysered and great waves
beat on the rocky confines.
Hawaii is one of the most pic
turesque and fascinating places of
earth. 1t may have been visited by
white men as early as 1927, but dis
covery is usually credited to Capt
james Cook in 177S. He named them
Sandwich islands. The islands were
then densely Inhabited, with a king
for every island In $780, Kameha-
meha, king of the island of Hawaii,
united the peoples and established a
kingdom that lasted till 1894, when
Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and
a republic was proclaimed In 1893
the islands were annexed to the Unit
ed States.

an islands in 1920 or Whereabouts and
one of their first notable converts was
| the Princess Kapiolani Just 100 years
| ago the brave Kapiolani, with the zeal
of the new convert decided to test
the power of her new god. She ven
tured to pass the night ON the brink
Of Halemaumau. She ate of the
"tabu" (forbidden) berries, consecrat-
ed to the goddess. She even dared to
stand on the brink and shout:
Jehovah is most powerful. Jehovah
Is my God. defy thee, Pelei"
Maybe Pele had gone visiting to
Mauna Loa or Haleakala. Or she may
have been enjoying siesta. Anyway,
Pele took no notice whatever of the
performance. But the native Hawaii
ans say that Pele has just got around
to feeling peeved over Princess Kapi-
olani's defiance. And of course hun
dred years are no more than minute
In the life of goddess.
The modern, up-tO- date volcanist,
however, has ideas Of his own about
Pele and what she is doing right now.
You see, the explosive eruption"
which Pele is now staging differs from
the ordinary eruption in that the dis
accompanied by lava. So Roy Finch,
one of the volcanists at the observa-
tory advances the theory that many
tons of rock, avalanched down from
the sides of the crater, have choked
the Railways to Pele's living quarters
in 1.-THE House of Everlasting Fires"
Ordinarily Pele cleans up by washing
these rocks out by an extra flow of
lava. But this time Pele finds her
house all cluttered up with rocks and
Is throwing them out, sweeping the
Railways and raising an awful dust.
SO Pele is just cleaning house, after
all.
Still, it's mighty spectacular house
cleaning, as can be seen by the pic
ture. Gen. John F. Organ Of New
York, commander during the World
war of Twenty Seventh division, saw
this particular outburst from a point
close at hand. Here are some Of the
things ne says about 1t:
Just before the explosion It seemed
as If the pit took deep inhalation,
because the little smoke that was then
leaving the mouth of the pit was
sucked downward. moment later
there was a deep roar from the pit
Then, with great explosion, vast
volume of smoke was shot into the air.
1t seemed to be composed of minute
particles of volcanic ash, reddish gray
in color. 1t was densely thick. Ul-
timately 1t assembled to the clouds far
above. Mixed In with the smoke were
thousands of tons of boulders of all
sizes. These were propelled into the
air. apparently to very great height.
In their descent they came in contact
with other boulders on the upward
journey. The result was thousands of
detonations and small explosions as
these boulders came in violent contact
They struck flashes OF fire. so that they
appeared like bursting shells.
Almost Immediately the sky darkened
and was filled with heavy rain clouds

Pele, in the main, is a good-nature(

flies into rage.

,SItroyed third of King Keoua's army
THAT was away back in 1870, wher
King Kamehameha was bringing al
the Hawaiian islands under his rule
King Keoua, with small fighting
force of not more than 400 men, with
their women and children, was passing
by Kilauea. Pele was quietly attend
ing to her own affairs, instead of get
ting excited over the small army. SC
the warriors shouted insults at the
goddess and rolled down rocks from
the cliffs, just at twilight.
Pele was naturally angry and dur
ing the night she punished some OF
her insulters with a shower of hot
sand and small rocks.
King Keoua tried to make peace
with Pele next day. He made offer
ings at the temple of the goddess close
by. But Keoua was cruel king and
included in his peace offerings human
sacrifices. This angered Pele afresh
and for two days and nights she
'stormed. The fourth day Keoua decid-
ed to march away to safety. He
formed his forces into three bands
and the march began.
Then Pele took her vengeance. With
total darkness she covered the land,
while rain fell and thunder roared and
lightning flashed She threw up gil
gantic boulders a thousand feet into
toe air. She scattered showers of
gray ashes. Sine blew out her hot
breath in great gusts
Her fiery breath caught the middle
band of King Keoua's forces, and
(, withered them up-warriors, women,
Vchildren and live stock. They fell
dead. Her gray ashes plastered them
up where they fell Another hot breath
caught stragglers from the first party.
They shared the same fate.
All this is sober historical truth. IF
