No other volcano has ever equaled Mauna Loa, in Honolulu, in the volume of lava it has discharged in its prinel- pl eruptions, nor is any other so dreaded, for in its stream flow death an destruction, The mountain has, however, the true instinct of chivalry, and- invariably gives warning to the hundreds of sugar and coffee planters about its base when its intentions are hostile. This warning is conveyed by the bitish steam that arises from its crater, which is always followed by & flood of red hot lava. Mauna Loa is giving this warning now. At the time of its great eruption in 1800 the lava burst from the sides of the mountain as woll as from its crater and flowed like'a great river for nine months, varying in width from three miles to a few hundred yards. It ran a distance of fifty miles. Final ly it reached the outskirts of the town of Hilo, whose Inhabitants were calm- ly awaiting their doom. Itowas then that the young princess of the reigning house of Honolulu de- termined to test the efficacy of the well-known legend of the mountain. The legend was that if a young and beautiful princess should array her {self as a bride and surround herself with attendants that would form a pro- cession and climb the mountain with her, she could then, by approaching 'the crater and throwing in a sacred white pig, appease the wrath of 'the mountin and cause it to be quiescent. * This was, in fact, no simple task, for 4 end , It thie a of disclosing the fact iscovery. - In this case another spectator, who does not know which card was selected, names it. An examination of the following will indicate how the spectator can be "forced" (to use the magician's term for this pro- ceeding) to name any card the "trickater desires him to name. In this case it is the eight of clubs, Observe that the trickster agcepts or discards the spectators choice, Suiekly done it is usually decep- ve. ¥: "There are two kinds of cards, fcture ecards and spot cards. ame either." "Picture cards." "Fine. That leaves the spot cards and the card must be a spot card. There are-two colors in tho pack. Name either." "Black" 'Fine, that eliminates the red and the card must _be black. There are two kinds of black cards, spades and clubs. Name either." "Spades." "Fine, that leaves the clubs and the card must be a club." "There are two kinds of spot clubs--odd and even, mame either." "044." "Then the card must be an even club, the odd clubs having been eliminated. There are even clubs higher than five and lower than five. Name either." "Lower," "Fine, that leaves us the even clubs . higher than five. The even clubs are six, eight and ten. We may divide these Into a lower group composed of six and eight and an upper, composed of ten. Name the upper or lower." "Upper." "Fine, that leaves the lower. Name either six or eight." It eight is named, the trick is completed. If six is named, the trickster calmly eliminates six. leaving eight--and the stunt is leted (Clip this out and paste it, with other of the series, in a scrapbook.)

This at any rate, is the bold proclamation made by Vilhjalmur Stefanson, the Arctic explorer. Nowhere has a re sponsible observer ever seen ah os- trich thrust its head into the sand to escape a foe, The legend has persisted for nearly 2000 years. Perhaps 2000 years hence, despite all the naturalists and all the fconoclasts, people will still belleve that ostriches are as silly as Pliny thought they were. tril London can boast of twenty women undertakers while sixty women are qualified auctioneers. | !
