Explorers Report Lava Bed Mystery Near Malpais
An Albuquerque correspondent relays that explorers Beatin and Loudon met a Mexican guide near the Malpais lava beds who led them to a cave where a warm vapor rose through cracks and a rumble shook the ground. They escaped as the cave floor swayed, finding a black lake and moving shore, suggesting a floating lava island before being rescued. Another note describes hypnotism used in a Paris romance tale to sever love, yielding a man who no longer loves.
