They Are Going Tokyo, Aug. 30.
Those "tired of it all" and seeking solace from worldly woes in the ping crater of Int. Mihara, on the volcanic Oshima Island off Tokyo Buy, will be able to see where they are going if the plans of an inventor, Aoki, materialize.
The Metropolitan Police Board yesterday issued a permit to Mr. Aoki to build a telescopic mechanism by which visitors to the island, inten has become a "suicide Reno® in recent years, may peep into the crater of the volcano, or "hell," as some term it.
One end of the telescope will be in a kiosk about 240 metres from the edge of the crater, while the other will peep directly "into the lava beds at the bottom of the huge hole about three miles in circum ference.
From this -kiosk, visitors will be allowed to look into the fuming crater upon payment of a small charge.
More.than 300 persons have committed suicide on Int. Mihara during the past year—Rengo.
