apparent indentation. Moreover, II is COM
monty supposed that lava is always projected
from the crater, and the language commonly
used in description encourages the idea. ga
stream of lava was seen to issue from the
crater" is the sort of phraseology with which
one ls most familiar in accounts of eruptions
that took place in bygone days. am not
sure that this is ever strictly accurate; but
with the crater in anything like its present
form 1t hardly seems probable. Itwould take
vast quantity of molten lava to fill that great
bowl of half mile diameter which ] suppose
IL would have to do before any of it would
run down the sides of the mountain. | saw
no indication that this ever took place. While
you are on the mountain, the streams of lava
which have issued forth and cooled at the
several previous eruptions are quite distin-
guishable from each other by their differ
ences OF structure and color. We saw
many such; but | saw no indication of any
one of them having come over the lip of the
crater. In every single instance the source of
the lava stream seemed to have been lower
down the mountain. Certainly this was the
case with the very fine one which burst out
just before our visit. As we stood upon the
lip of the crater it was below us throughout
its whole length. The lava was issuing from
q great fssure which it had made for itself
some distance down in the side of the cone.
The guides hurried us away from the neigh
borhood of its source, because, they
said, it was quite possible another
orifce might open at any moment,
and then it would be all over with the pre-.
sent spectators. The experience OF these
men clearly led them to regard this as the
normal mode of the emission of lava. In the
case actually before us it was being poured
forth evenly and continuously in molten
state from the fsure; it descended for short
distance, in a broad stream, to point where
a bifurcation took place, and then the burn
ing mineral went down to the base of the
mountain in two streams of perhaps twenty
feet each in width, looking in the darkness
like two broad ribbons of fire stretching down
into the plain.
