SCIENTISTS INTO
PIT OF ramos
Perils of Volcano Braved for
the First Time by Pair of
Explorers.
MILAN, ITALY. June 7—Professor
Mallada, of the royal observatory on
Mount Vesuvius accomplished an ex
traordinary feat, descending into the
. depths of the crater of that volcano.
Since the awful eruption six years ago
numberless attempts have been made
by scientific adventurers to penetrate
the funnel of Vesuvius, but all in vain,
owing partly to the precipitous nature
of the slope’s interior, but principally
of the dense and deadly vapors
/of sulphur and chloric acid gases.
The actual diameter of the crater is
about 550 yards. Professor Mallada,
accompanied by an able young expert
named Varvazze, attached to the ob
servatory, started out .at 8 o'clock In
the morning toward the Pompeii side,
taking a quantity of scientific instru
ments, cameras and a couple of stout
ropes, ohe 350 feet and the other 500
feet In length. I’sing the long rope for
the first part of the descent, they were
lowered Inside the volcano to a depth
of 380 feet till they landed upon hug”
jutting crags of lava overhanging an
other great abyss 150 foot lower down.
After exploring on this perilous slope
Os 90 degrees amid gigantic masses of
petrified lava, they found a means to
fix their second rope, whereby they
were able to reach an enormous fissure
created some years ago, when the vol
cano was suddenly torn asunder, pre
cipitating an Immense mass of the out
er cone into the crater, and causing the
partial wreckage of Messrs. Cook’s
funicular station
The Intrepid explorers discovered that
this huge fissure extends to the very
bottom of the crater, which they finally
reached at a depth of 1,000 feet. There
they remained a couple of hours. Pro
fessor Mallada was able to take a
number of instantaneous pictures of
avalanches and showers of red-hot
ashes, which were taking place at the
time In contiguous parts of the crater.
■Despite the precautions taken, the ex
plorers at times were almost overcome
by suffocating fumes. They found the
temperature varying from 90 degrees
to 98 degrees Fahrenheit.
A valuable collection of minerals was
made, consisting of volcanic mattei
falling off from the side walls of the
funnel, which, on striking the bottom,
raised clouds of fine choking cinder
dust. The explorers planted a red flag
in the center of the crater floor as a
memorial of their conquest.
The whole expedition lasted nearly
nine hours.
The highest point of woman’s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to
be is often fearful of nature's ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering inci
dent to its consummation. But for
nature’s ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mother's
Friend is to be found medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. It is Intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing through which the mother usually
passes. The regular use of Mother's
Friend will repay any mother in the
comfort it affords before, and the help
ful restoration to health and strength
It brings about after baby comes.

ROUND-TABLE CLUB,
WISDOM SYNDICATE,
AGAIN IS HOMELESS
Wfth the passing of the Etowah case
in Alabama street, Atlanta’s Round Ta
ble club once more finds itself home
less and a wanderer upon the face of
an unappreciative and barbaric earth.
Time was when the Etowah case was
Atlanta's foremost resort of intellectu
ality and fashion. The time never wus
when it was not an Interesting and
engaging place to satisfy one's gusta
tory desires, and to occasionally grati
fy mental yearnings not to be de
scribed in ordinary words.
Colonel Hooper Alexander, the head
of the Round Table, who revels in the
glorious title, “king of the world," was
30 full of grief and darkly depressing
sorrow today that, he would not dis
cuss at length the habitatless state of
the Round Table.
"Just say fur me," proposed his ma
jesty, "that the Round Table shall not
wander long. A new home shall be
found for It within the present moon.
We. rex. have spoken!"
An Ancient Institution.
Claude Smith, who was not in so
tearful a mood as the king of the world,
o. k.’d “We, rex’s” ukase, and that
makers" it all right.
The Round Table will hold another
session soon, and things will go on
just as of yore.
The Round Table is an ancient and
honorable Atlanta Institution. It was
organized about ten years ago, in a
north side restaurant of modest preten
tions, and there it got along pretty
well until Harry Silverman opened his
gorgeous Etowah case. It had got to
be some organization then, and so it
took on a lot of frills and things, and
began to hold Its meetings in Silver
man's place.
Harry Silverman was just the boy
who was looking for that Round Table
thing, tinder his astute chaperonage,
it grew' in grace and membership, and
soon It became famous among the
highbrows of this vicinity and neigh
borhood.
Bunch of Good Fellows.
The Round Table club is a bunch of
good fellows, long on argumentative
proclivities, and of various shades of
thought and opinion, political, religious,
professional, ordinary, and so forth
and so on.
It meets—when It has a meeting
place—at lunch time, anywhere from 1
to 3. and it undertakes the adjustment
of any old problem hankering for ad
justment, all the way from white houst
and international politics to the pros
and cons of an aldermanlc squabble.
It is no respecter of opinion outside
Its owm sphere of activity, when it is
on the job and under full steam ahead.
It stipulates that, in all arguments and
discussions, reporters and gossips in
variably are not present, whether they
are or not.
Whatever settlements the Round Ta
ble makes, they are the Round Table’s
business—don't forget that, if you ex
pect to sit at the Round Table a second
time.
When Harry Silverman gave up the
Etowah case, one dismal and depressing
day, the club forsook the big table Har
ry always reserved for Its exclusive
use, and passed through a perilous and
heartbreaking period of its career.
Finds Old Home Intact.
For a while it looked as if Harry had
stabbed it to the heart, and put it hors
de combat, so to speak. But It 11 died,
and. after operating here and there,
eventually it strayed back to the Eto
wah, and the new management brought
forth the old table, brushed the dust
off. set it aside sacredly and exclu
sively' for the use of the club, and
there It has met, and calked, and scrap
ped, and yapped, and had its being,
until the Etowah closed its doors the
other day. And now it Is adrift once
more!
The membership of the Round Table
bespeaks in language more eloquent
than words the quality of the discus
sions that have marked the varied ins
and outs of its picturesque career.

To Call the ‘‘Bunch’’ Again.
“One needs but shut his eyes,” said
Claude Smith, discussing the Round Ta
ble today, “and ponder seriously a mo
ment or so the syndicated, amalgamat
ed, associated and assembled wisdom of
that outfit, in order to realize a meas
ure of the conclualveness to which
arguments In the Round Table must
have tended—and still tend -now and
then. To attempt to realize too much
probably would result in the blowing
out of the thinker’s think-tank, of
course!’*
The Round Table membership is scat
tered throughout Atlanta today, and it
will be tomorrow, and the next day.
On Monday, however, the king of the
world will summon his faithful and lov
ing subjects together, in some secluded
meeting place, and a new and perma
nent home of the Round Table will be
decided upon.

‘SOLD’ AS SLAVES
Youngsters Go to Highest
Bidder to Work Seventeen to
Eighteen Hours a Day.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, June 7.
Swiss and German writers are calling
the attention of the public and the au
thorities to what is practically a slave
market where girls and boys between
the ages of eleven and fifteen years are
"sold” In public to the highest bidders,
at Friedrichshafen, a German town on
Lake Constance.
Those children, numbering 200 or
more, are brought about this time of
the year by their parents, who are poor
and live mostly in the Austrian Tyrol
and on the Swiss frontier. Swiss and
German farmers examine the "goods"
and choose the strongest and healthiest
children to work for them throughout
the summer.
The prices are arranged between the
farmers and the parents, and a contract
is signed. The farmer agrees to give
food and lodging to the boy or girl he
engages and $5 to 810 after five to six
months’ work, which Is for seventeen to
eighteen hours a day. The farmer does
not usually accept any responsibility
concerning the moral conduct of the
boy or girl who has "entered” his serv
ice. and whom he treats aw a farm hand
and on the same footing as his other
employees.
This exploitation of children is per
mitted by the German authorities at
Friedrichshafen, probably on the
grounds that it is an aqcient custom.
The town itself is en fete during the
markets, and there are processions of
the children, who seem happy; but
their appearance is far different after
five or six months' hard work of seven
teen to eighteen hours a day on the Al
pine farms in Switzerland and Ger
many.
