make the PRACTICAL keep pace with the theorei-
cal in all instruCton.-ED.
Mr.. EDIroR:- Reading lately Report of

marks upon the subject of education. My cap

The following principles, think, should be
carefully attended 10 in the acquisition Of knowl-

Firstly, The end of knowledge is prdcttce.-
It should be acquired, not as mere mental furn

energies from a practical direction tends more
to enfeebe than to strengthen item. He who
seeks knowledge without some uticular prac

The Volcanic Eruption in Hawaii.

The POlynesian of March Is gives the follow
ing description of the present eruption of the
greatest volcano in the world, volcano which
is perhaps destined in time to add new conti-
nent to terra .frma.
"By an accurate measurement of the enormous
jet of glowing lava where it first broke forth on
the side of Mauna Loa. it was ascerained to be
500 feet high This was upon the suppostion
that it was 80 miles distant. We are of tho
opinion that it was greater distance, say from
40 to 60 miles, With glass, the play of this
Jet, at night, was distinctly observed, and more
sublime sight can scarcely be imagined A col
umn of molten lava, glowing with the most in
tense heat and projected into the air to dis
tance of 500 feet, was sight so rare, and at
the same time so awfully grand, as to excite the
most lively feelings of awe and admiration, even
when viewed at distance Of 40 or so miles.
The diameter of this jet is supposed to be over
hundred feet In some places this river is a
mile wide, and others more contracted. At some
points, it has filled up ravines of 100000 and
300 feet in depth and still flows on. 1t entered
heavy forest, and the giant growth of centuries
are cut down before it, like grass before the
mowers scythe, No obstacle can arrest it in its
descent to the sea.
1.-THE eruption seems to have broken out
through an old 6ssure, about one third down the
side of Mauna Loa on the northwest side, and
not from the old crater on the summit, called
Mokuoweoweo. The altitude of the present
eruption is about 10 900 feet above The level o
the sea, and from the Bay of Hilo, (Byron's Bay
mnst be some so or 80 miles. If it succeed ii
reaching the ocean at the point supposed, afte
having filed up all the ravines, gulches and in
equalities of very broken country, it will un
doubtedly be one of the most extensive eruption
