Remington Boy Assists in Investigation of Volcano.

Remington Press. Prof. Ernest Shephard and Prof. Day, two geological experts whom the Carnegie Foundation sent to Hawaii a few months ago, has just completed an unusual and somewhat hazardous experiment at the volcano of Kilauea. -The two scientists were lowered by ropes into the crater of Kilauea, which is the largest active volcano iO the world, and for several hours remained suspended over the bed of boiling lava, making a study of the gasses discharged and gathering speciments of molten stone for analysis. It is the first time in history that scientists have gone into the lake of fire, as the pit is called, although a party climbed to the top of the outer pit In 1909. Mouqt Kilauea is six thousand feet above the sea level and the oval crater of the volcano is nine miles in circumference. The last time it was dangerously active was In 1910. The experiments are expected to result in important findings in support of certain theories of volcanic^activity. '

Notwithstanding the cool weather of the last few nights Barnes’ Airdome was crowded again last evening. The attraction was the Klaus Sisters in high class vaudeville singing and dancing specialties. They were to have appeared Thursday evening, but owing to the xain there was no show that evening. The young ladies pleased the' audience vepr much and were recalled after each act.
