Brick. Of Molten Laua

The problem Of utilizing volcanic
steam in industry has been well
worked out by the Italian engineers.

Yellowstone park we shall enjoy the

incomparably greater, so that the

relatively insignificant.
Boring for steam has been going on
for more than a year near the crater
Ut Kilauea, on the island Of Hawaii,
but the rock Is basalt and extremely
hard, so that the drills have not yet
penetrated very far. 1t Is said that
the scheme in that locality does not
promise, very well. BUT the Hawaiian
government has consulted the Depart
ment of Commerce about plan, SEEM
ingly practicable, for making bricks Of
molten lava from the Kilauea crater.
1t is proposed to extend trolley
across the crater, carrying an endless
CHAIN of buckets. which would scoop
up the LIQUID lava, fetch it to the rim
Of the fiery hole. and pour it into the

SAINTS WHO MADE
IMPRESS ON TIMES
Four Most Worthy of the
Honors Paid Them

The neighbors spent a wonderful
night, there awhile back in the green
Verdugo hills. They were gathered
together in the little gray house in
the hollow that has the two big rocks
behind 1t and the lilac bush in front.
writes John Steven McGroarty in the
Los Angeles Times.
And the talk that came up was
about four great saints who have left
their everlasting footprints on the
sands Of time.
The way the talk about saints came
up was that the man who reads the
papers was saying that he had read
Il piece which said that In the house
OF parliament In London four great
windows had been Installed, and that
On each window was fine picture
Of a saint.
On one window picture Of st.
George Of England, on the second st.
David of Wales. on the third st. An.
drew of Scotland. and on the fourth
st. Patrick of Ireland.
Now. this mere statement of itself.

startling nature as, to make a night
wonderful for the neighbOrs in the
green Verdugo hills or for anybody
else. But what did make the night
wonderful was that our neighbOr the

For if French duke met many peo-

with Anderson at luncheon at the

the robbery would take place. And
