There are voicanoes everywhere in the lEa-
'ts'aiiaus , tite entire group being of voicanic
origin. and evitleitces of activity are never
absent. Au authority on scientific matters
says there are over 300 active craters on
the isiands and disuacti chimneys of on-
ture are so iltinterous as to attract no at-
toiition. There are iiteraiiy thousands of

riiy the lava surface lies from 1,200 to 1,500
feet below tile BUrrOUT2Alft crater , but when
an eruption Is near at. band little by little
tile lava creeps until within 600 or 700 feet
of the rim ; then comes an explosion , the
lava bulls ovcr nail runs oft down the side
of time mountain. This ts Its usual course ,
but on several occasions } Cllauea has mhiver-
alfied matters by sending off Its lava under-
grotmnml , the intense heat , neiting time stones
of tlie island and the current of lava thus
flowIng off sometimes for fourteen or fifteen
miles ere it forces its way to the surface.
After it does so its course Is exactly that
of other lava flows , sweeping onward In a
reslaticas stream , devouring everytlling in
Itim pathway and finally plunging lute the
sea , sendIng up as it docK so clouds ot
steam , which continue to rise sometimes for
months after tile eruption has Ceased. Many
I notable eruptions of Kilauca have occurred ,
but tile grentest of all since the island we
known to Europeans was that of 1840 , when
a lava stream forced its way underground
( or twenty-seven miles , then appeared mipon

further , fiminliy pouring lute the sea. Tile

the stream flowed for three weeks , and
varied lii width from & 00 yartla to three
miles , and in depth front titty to 200 feet , ac-
cormllmlg to the ground. It was estimated that
thu nnmount of lava. jtourett out on this oc-
casinn was 15,400,000,000 cubic feet , an
amount which would build Vesuvius and
leave material to spare.

Time eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kilauea
sometimes occur contemporaneously anti
sometimes one is quIescent while tile otimer
is active. Underground lava ilows have been
crediteti to Mauna Lea which properly belong -
long to Kliailea. So the great flow of 1868 ,
which traveled underground. charring the
surface wherever it went , may imave come
from Kiiauen as veil as from launa Lea.

uutioubtedly become a great attraction for
tourists. iCliatmea Is reached from lillo ,
forty inlicti dIstant. The ascent is not tlifll-
cult , and the crater is easily clescenLieti , o
that parties of tourists with very lIttle danger -
ger can go ilown to the- edge of the lava iC1
and warni their lunches. Mauna Loa is not
so easy to ciimnb. Its ascent , Indeed , is titilto
a feat , which none but athletes attempt ; but
etill , the famous volcano has been often
ascended. and in the future climbing tile two
volcanoes of our new possessions will become -
come a favorite amusement with American
tourists. We now have In the United States
ten active , but little known , voicanoes ,
