when, as IL can no longer rise, IL exerts all It's force
laterally, and divides the reservoir into two parts
leach furnished with a VENT as we have seen a
bubble OF air expand from the bottom Of a vessel
containing a viscous fluid. This pressure would be
equal on all sides. and il IL were exerted on water
would tend TO increase the action at the lower
vent, Il; while the liquid would not rise much
higher in A, but owing to the peculiar facility with
which lava cools it would be much more apt TO
clog an inclined opening that IL would TO stop ND q
perpendicular vent. That the channel that finds it's
opening at Kilauea Is an inclined branch from the
great central vent which rises TO the summit Is res-
%sonable; as Is the supposition that IL is much clogged
by cooling lava. At the sans time The upright
vent would clear itself in a great degree upon the
snbsidence of any extraordinary rise Of lava such
as precedes an eruption, and therefore be generally
larger than the one opening atB.
The cooling and tenacious properties Of lava
are such that it would rise more freely and TO q
greater hight in a large opening than q contracted
one, hence as the volume OF gas acted laterally 1t
would force the lava mp the large open vent TO A
easier than it would through the narrower, shorter
clOgged one to ID. This tendency TO rise to A
would be increased by the weight OF lava that has
been accommodating in the crater Of Kilauea during
the last year. Our safety valve there has been
more and more loaded with the lava discharged
into the basin into which the crater opens, aud the
more liquid mass has mounted higher and higher
in the upright channel until it has encountered the
thick crust that has closed the crater Of MOkna-
weoweo since the last eruption. The power has
gone on, until Kilauea has shown signs Of greater
activity, and then the compressed mass underlying
the crust at the summit has forced its way through
and we have the magnificent fountain seen last
month. Before this occurred every interior seam
of the vast mountain communicating with the
great reservoir was undoubtedly filed with molten
lava, and as the weight of metal thrown out OF the
summit crater could not flow of, this valve in Its
turn would have soon become overweigbted and IL
the initial force he'd been sustained, an outbreak
from some weak point on the side of the mountain
would have been inevitable. From the fact that
the summit fountain has subsidized without such an
outbreak, we may argue that this force has ex-
hausted itself for the time but as the cooling
lava has probably 6lled up many Of the fssures
into which it was forced, and IN subsidipg from
the summit left that vent more or less open. while
Kilauea remains in about the same condition, VIC
may conclude that the Same phenomone will be
repeated ere long the summit crater be again
active. Kilauea filed up much more than II 10 at
present. and there will be an outbreak somewhere
0LOue its level Of Kilanea. Q.

The late NoIcani Eruption ON
Hawaii.

During the last THREE s30nths the two enters Of
kiiaura and MUkHaweow,o on Mauna Loa, have
been in active operation, and IA recent yisit 10 hotk
has led 10 considerable speculation IN regard 90
the causes that produce a Simultaneous eruption Of
liqaid lava at two points on the same volcano
with 4 difference Ia the elevation Of The pOhts %
about 10. 900 feet.
A. all the evidence that We have goes to uroys

Itself a great reservoir of molten lAya-bOw great

presume that both the active cTateTS are supplied
from this one source. IL makes no difference bow

force required to set In motion n torrent Of lava
that penetrating every crack aud cavern in The
nliRaiy mass that surrounds 10. at last finds n vent

The agencies brought into action In nature devel-
op a degree OF heat that We. in art. eau only pro-

More than one theory has been advanced 10 ac-

They tell terrible stories about the famine IN
Persia, which, 80 far from abating is again on
the increase. Thus, two women and seven men,
suffering all the pangs Of starvation, ate the
bodies Of three children. The women were
hanged-as if there were not death9 enough
already and the seven other cannibals were
sentenced to death by starvation. Confined in q
room together, FIVE Of the seven killed and ate
the other two and when the careful officials
found the remainder-by some accident evidently
they were ell dead. The truth of the story
may be questioned but certainly, il half the
reports are true, there have been scores Of horrors
quite as awful.

The Cooking Stove,

The cooking Stove, from the i'm
portant relation it bears to the every
day requirements of life, and upon
which depends in so great a degree
the convenience comfort anhapiness
of every family, may be truly consid-
cred the most valuable of all mechan-
ical constructions for domestic use.
While the highly improved articles Of
to-day bear but remote resemblance
to the first crude stoves which glad
dened the housewives heart, and
many of them contain points of in
disputable merit, the one to which
we call the attention Of our readers
seems to US to combine in one utensiI
all the meritous points of every other
stove. By it's use economy of fuel,
regularity and rapidity Of baking,
uniformity Of heat in the various
chambers, durability beyond any
other stove in the market, are all
attained.
See advertisement on the fourth
page, giving the certificates Of va
rious purchasers, as to the merits Of
the Culver Stoves.

African Colonization.

The steamship st. Salvador has ar
rived in New York with $50 coloret
Georgians on board from Savannah
The Secretary of the American Colo
nization Society was interviewed by
reporter of the Herald, and Furnished
some interesting information:
"The colonization of Liberia" he
said, commenced with the founding
of the organization in 1916 in Wash
iugton city. Afterwards explorers
were sent out, who purchased terrific
ry; but the Republic was not founded
until 1920. Liberia continued, undel
the control of the Colonization Socie
ty until 1S47, when it declared Itself
free, sovereign, Independent Repub
lie, and has since been acknowledged
as such by the leading Powers Of the
world. The society has sent emf.
grants thither every year since 1920
The Republic contains half a million
of inhabitants; has about Fifty
churches, with schools attached, and
college attended by fifty students
The American government maintains
there Minister Resident and Consul
General-viz., Hon. J. Milton Turner
a prominent colored citizen of Mis-
souri,; Liberia owns a coastwise ter
ritory, of some FIVE hundred miles, and
as Republic, free and independent,
has been the great means of breaking
up the slave trade by planting settle
meDts along the coasts, so that the
only slaves now being shipped from
Africa are those belonging to the
east coast, whom DR.. Livingstone has
been pleading SO zealously for.
The present expedition to Liberia
will be on the bark Jasper, of the
Yates & Porterfeld Company, who
have made every desirable provision
and accommodation for the transfer
Of the emigi ants. One hundred and
fifty colored passengers in all came by
the steamship St. Salvador. They are
from various parts Of Georgia, and
nearly all in families. They are being
transferred under the auspices and at
the expense Of the society. Many Of
them mean to join relatives and ac-
quaintances in the old land, and are
altogether selection from over three
thousand applicants for the passage.
This is the first batch of colored emf
grants brought into New York harbor
for several years. Almost all of them
ere fairly educated and brought up
tolerabiy wall in the tenets of the
Methodist and Baptist Churches.
These are only the advanced guard
of little army of more than three
thousand colored Georgians, who wish
to 20 to African soil and build up a
negro republic there, which shall be
said to have sprung from the freedom
of the South. On landing they will
be placed under the care of Mr.. H.
w. Dennis, the society's agent, who is
also Secretary of the Treasury of Lii
IBERIA. Rev. John Orcutt, D. D., the
travelling secretary, has taken much
interest in the present expedition and
will be present at their embarkation
on the Jasper. 1t is said the emigrauts
after their arrival in Liberia, have to
pass through an acclimatizing fever,
which proves fatal only at the rate of
five in every hundred eases.

Obituary..

THOMAS PAYNE, of Edgefield
District, S. c., died Nov. -, 1872.
Thus, one by one pass from our midst,
these good old men, and who will fill
their places? When this century was
but nineteen days old, Thos. Payne was
born, in the same country where he has
lived and died. For about half cen.
tury he has been devoted to the service
of his Master, and for all that period a
member of Fellowship church, of which
he was also, for many years, Deacon.
In his death his church misses ar active,
earnest co-worker-the communlty-a
firm, out-spoken, yet kindly man, and
his two daughters and their children,
an indulgent father, full of considerate
regard and warm affection; much more
Indeed, than one would expect from q
person of Mr.. Payne's apparently ab-
rupt manner-yet, not strange, when we
reflect that his home had been lonely
for nearly thirty years, and that OF eight
children, six had been taken from him,
and towards those that remained, all the
love of his strong nature flowed out in
acts of kindness and even gentleness.
The memory of man so staunch and
true-so devoted to duty and to right,
Will be ever green ana ever lTaSTaht III
the hearts of those who have known
him. w. b. ).
DIED, 2lst November, 1872, at the
residence of her husband. J. R. Talbert,

POPE PAYNE, youngest daughter of
the late Thos. Payne, whom she survi-
we'd only nine days, Her disease, was
TYPHOID fever. She was born April 13,
1889, and at the age of 33 years and seven
months, has been taken from her hus-
band and four children to rejoin the
four babes already gone before. Mis-.
Tolbert has been for many years a MEM
ber of Fellowship church, and was a
quiet, gentle intelligent Christian wo-
man. No higher praise need be given.
