EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANIC ERUpTIoNs IN TIE
SANDWICH IsLAyDs.-Mauna Loa, the burning
mountain of Hawaii, is again in eruption. On
the Cd of April terrific earth shock threw down
walls and houses, uprootcd forest trees and oc-
casioned heavy land slides, burying inhabitants
and stock. An eruption of mud was thrown
from the mountain side which travelled a distance
OF three miles in as many minutes. The sum-
nit and side of hill, 800 feet high, was lifted
distance Of one thousand feet, and landed in
valley below, the turf and trees covering the hill
being apparently undisturbed. A large number
of cattle were destroyed by the gases which is
sued from the assure. A stream of lava from
the crater has gone under ground and broken
out on the slope far below and only six miles
from the sea, throwing rocks n thousand feet in
the air. A stream of lava l 800 feet wide and
six miles long was at last accounts flowing sea-
ward at the rate of twelve miles an hour. Over
1000 earthquake shocks are reported to have
been felt sipce the first eruption on the morning
of March 9th. The new crater of the volcano
is two miles in length. correspondent, writ
ing from Kan, March Goth, says:
{" We have had over three hundred shocks of
earthquake since the night of The 9th some of
which were terrible. To be badly frightened.
just mix yourself up, my dear sir, with three
hundred shocks in less than forty-eight hours,
and if you don't get big scare on, then your
nerves must be made of steel. Walls were bro

TONS the earth moved up and down so that
walking was difficult thing to accomplish \
The last two days has been an age. When n
man is hungry he knows how to rid himself Of
craving appetite, but when he sees the earth
rock and plunge like ship in storm, he knows
not where to seek safety.
Another correspondent, writing from the scene
Of the eruption. says
g Thursday, April I'd, ut P. NJ, we had an
earthquake ut Kau which killed over sixty peo-
pie. I will not attempt to describe the scene
One mile from our house, towards Lyman's, we
had mud eruption. 1t came out of the side of
| mountain, and flowed down two miles. The
stream " as half mile wide. 1t buried up ma
tives, horses. cattle, houses, and everything in
Tits course. At the same time with the shock
and eruption the sea receded, and The return
wave swept the coast, drowning the inhabitants.
K The earth is opened in seams in every d.
recton, caused by the eruptive forces at work
beneath. A great number have persisted.
