MApNA LOA.
The Latest Fiery Outburn.

New York Herald.l
The grand eruption reported as
now in progress from the volcanic cone
Of Mauna LOa gives ample evidence o.
mighty forces at work under the bed
Of the Pacific. Mauna Loa towers
over the island of HaV ali, the largest
island in the open Pacific, 1850 feet,
and is marked by two distinct and APP
%parently disconnected craters-one at
the summit and the other, Kilauea, at
at a considerably lower level. A
fearful eruption from the SUNNI
crater took place in 1910, and another
in 1913 from the lower crater but
this was exceeded in August, 1855,
when the fire stream" continued to
flow for many months until by July,
1867, it had traversed a distance Of
over sixty miles. The floor of the
great crater Of Kilanea is said to re-
semble "a lake Of ERE" having been
scooped out a thousand feet deep and
covering an area of twenty miles
square. This enormous vent seems to
have been for a benignant purpose
planted in the Central Pacific ocean,
whose great basin" says Mauary,
has Its rim resting upon volcanic
formations and set with volcanoes all
the way round One remarkable
fact which is confirmed by Numerous
eruptions, is hat the discharge of
molten matter, even in 1859, when
shafts Of white hot lava were thrown
up to the estimated height of eight
hundred feet, are attended by
no earthquake shocks or other
seismic signs. The burning lava,
on reaching the water Is shiyered like
glass into millions of particles which,
rising in clouds, darken the sky aue
fall like a storm of hail on the sur.
rounding country while the glare
from the fiery river converts night
into day over all eastern Hawaii but
the vast terrestrial safety-valve quiet
~ performs its office, allowing the
immense plltopie furnace beneath
the mountain free and fun vent.
The report of the present eruption
does not state at what part Of the
mountain the outburst occurred. The
J statement, however, that fears are
entertained for the safety of Hilo
would imply that the volcano has
opened a new outlet at some unsus
pected point, in which case the orifce
is probably small and it will take lev.
eral weeks, as in 1910, for the dis
charge Of the accumulated subter.
ralean pressure.
The earth volcanoes are ~pTofusely
distributed over the ocean, but remote
from its shores they are known to be
comparatively few and inactive. This
circumstance powerfully suggests
their connection with the changes
ceaselessly going on in the ocean floor.

OWNERS of 81, 900 worth of
Tennessee state bonds held an i'm
pOrtant meeting in Baltimore yester
day and talked Of a willingness to ac-
cept, as a compromise, 60 cents on the
dollar with 8 per cent interest, though
net wishing to be considered as com
mitted to those figures if the state de-
sires to pay more. Even dollar for
dollar would be acceptable. The state
debt Of Tennessee, they say, was, when
the last public statement was made,
$2o,22l 1904 principal, and 81 .l56,522.75
interest, due and unpaid, Of which the
Peabody school institute holds $780,
900. The meeting adopted a resolu-
ton not to accept any proposition to
compromise their claims at a lower
rate than 60 cents on the dollar, prin.

made receivable for taxes after ma,

At last, however, night sets in.
Grateful it comes after the sun has
gathered up his shining rays and gone
to his rest. All at once we are plunged
into comparative obscurity, for again,
there is no twilight to stay tho steps of
departing day.
At one stride comes the dark. But
looking up into the sky we behold a
vast orb which pours down a milder
and more beneicient splendor than
the great lord Of the system. II is
such a moon as we terrestials cannot
boast, for it is no less than thirteen
times as large and luminous as our
own. There it hangs in the frma-
ment without apparent change of
place, as if fixed in its everlasting
seat" But not without a change of
surface. For this great globe is a
painted panorama and turning around
majestically on its axis, presents its
oceans and continents in grand sue
cession. As Europe and Africa, lock-
ing the Mediterranean in their en-
brace, roll to the right, the Atlantic
offers its waters to view, then the
two Americas, with their huge forest
aud vast prairies, pass under inspec-
ton. Then the great basin of the Pa
cifc, lit up with island fires, meets the
gszer's eye, and as this glides over the
scene, the eastern rim of Asia and
upper portion of Australia glide into
sight. The Indian ocean and after
wards the Arabian sea, spread them
selves out in their subdued splendor,
and thus in four and twenty hours
the great rotundity we tread turns
his pictured countenance to the moon
and graudly repays the listening luna
rians, repeating to the best of his abil-
ity, the story Of his birth.
Nor is the sky less marvellous in an
other respect, for the absence of any
atmospheric diffusion of light permits
the consultations to shine out with a
distinctness never seer by the naked
eye flock into view and crowd the
lunar heavens.

A VESSEL IN A CYCLONE.
Six Inches Of Water LuTching
Through Cabins and
Saloons.

New York Herald.l
The steamer Switzerland, of the
Star line, under command of Captain
Anderson, sailed from Antwerp on
November 10Th, with 492 steerase
passengers, % second class and halt a
dozen frst-class passengers on board.
On the following Wednesday remark
able barometic depressiOns were ex-
p~eFieRced, and Captain Anderson
concluded that he was in the neigh
borhood Of some circular atmospheric
disturbance. There was q heavy sea
at the same time rolling from the
south, and this also confirmed his
belief that Q cyclone generated in the
hot ATTITUDES Of the equator was rap
idly revolving northward, aud that
the Switzerland was, if not actually 10
the outes rim Of the storm, at least
near that dangerous locality.
Ats o'clock at night the barometer
had actually touched the low point Of
28.35. Captain Anderson deemed it
advisable not to risk his ship ia the
circle of the storm. He knew that
she might weather the force Of the
gale within the circle of the cyclone
that she might even be able to pass
through its center, not, perhaps, un
hurt, but at least in safety. As, how
ever, he could not tell what the force
Of the hurricane might be, he deemed
it advisable to turn the ships head
about aud steam slowly on a north
easterly course. He knew that by
keeping the wind on his starboard
bow he would be safe, and as the cir
Gle ofthe storm passed E%orthward, he
gradually turned the ship again on her
true course and moved once more in
a northwesterly direction. The squalls
which struck the ship whilst Captain
Anderson was thus maneuvering on
the outside of the storm were of ter
Fible severity.
Again and again the stermer keeled
over, until her deck fails we're under
water, and no sooner did she recover
from the violence of these rude as
sauits than the rusni2g billowsplunged
her forward deeply into the ocean.
On Thursday morning, By which time
the Switzerland had steamed well ont
of tho vicinity of the storm, the
squalls had considerably abated, the
ship was now and then struck by
northwest squalls, which laid her
level with the waters edge. On
Thursday night the wind had abated
considerably, but the agitation Of the
water was perhaps more violent than
before. This was a circumstance dis
agreeable TO the passengers. but cheer
iDg to those who had hitherto nayi
gated the vessel so skillfully, for it
showed them hat they were now be-
hind the storm, and that the heavy
waves were but the token Of the
%herceness Of the storm which, a few
hours before, had whirled across them
The Switzerland shipped large quan
ties OF water, and rolled heavily. Up
ward Of six inches Of water lurehed
with a dlsagreeable swash throughout
the cabins and s%aloons, and caused
even more alarm among the passengers
than the bowling winds of the pre.
vious night had done.
