LAND OF BURNED OUT FIRES
In the northern part of California, close to the Oregon Hne, is a region which in ages past was a veritable hell on earth. The volcanoes are all extinct now, but the camera shows us clear evidence of the terrific cosmic disturbances which once took place there. One of the most beautiful scenes of the film shows Mount Shasta, rearing its majestic snowclad crest 14,380 feet above sea level. Some excellent closeups are presented of fumeroles or chimneys, lava cones, broken lava bubbles and ice stalagmites. As a grand climax an artificial eruption is staged before the camera, showing how the great pile of volcanic ash known as Mount vSchonchin looked when it was active. This is one of the most interesting and instructive of travelogues. No resident of the Pacific Coast should miss it.
