in the floor of the crater, but on its
sides and banks, SO enveloped the
whole crater as to assure us of the pres
ence of fire. On reaching the Volcano
House we learned that this condition
had been observed now for several
days, and that fire could be seen in
various cracks. / have noticed that the
steam in the crater is very much less in
the early part of the day, but grows
more intense as the day wanes. There
has been no material change in the
sunken portion of the crater, except a
continual falling in of rocks and debris
from its banks, as the contraction from
its former intense heat loosened their
compactness and sent them hurling
some 600 or 700 feet below, giving
forth at times boom as Of distant
thunder, followed by clouds of cinders
and ashes shooting up into the air 100
or 800 feet, proportionate, doubtless,
to the size of the newly-fallcn mass
Yet, notwithstanding this condition of
the huge pit or yawning chasm. Rev.
E. P, Baker descended into it on the
18th instant to within what he judged
to be fifty feet of the bottom. His
recorded experience in the Volcano
House records does not recommend
the feat to others at present, nor did its
appearance to the art and historic party
four days later impress us with feel
ings of assured security.
Intense heat waves were found issu-
ing from two partly broken cones near
the brink to the west of Halemaumau's
ruins, also from two broken domes in
front or north of the middle break,
while close to the edge of the north
east portion Of where New Lake stood
are two breaks where the heat is most
intense, and living fire cannot be far
from the surface. On the south rim
of the cavity, from which point we OBJ
tanned our first close view of the inn
mense pit, and where Mr. T. SEVERN
took his first in-the-crater view of ii, the
guide set fire to his stick by inserting it
in a crevice not more than fifty feet from
where we were standing; SO that we
had evidences Of fire on all sides The
source of the greatest activity being at
the New Lake side of the crater, and
evidently increasing, impresses me with
the idea that when the clogged chan
nels of this subterranean fire becomes
sufficiently cleared the new outbreak
will occur in that vicinity. The bottom
and sides of Halemaumau are burned
to lifeless mass; there seems to be no
section of fusible rock, and if SO, the
chances for viewing this interesting
phenomenon will be probably short
lived for the first molten lava in its
vicinity will hasten 10 fill it again to the
brim.

DESCENT MIRO HALEMAuMAU.

DESCENT INTO HALEMAUMAU.
[Copied from Volcano House Register by
permission of Mr.. J. II. Mabyl
VOLCANO HOUSE, Mar. rS, 1885,
/ to-day descended to within fifty feet
of the bottom of Halemaumau. The
very bottom is (or was at the time /
saw iD the cooled surface of Hale
maumau lake. The space at the bot
tom was very small indeed: only a
few feet square. The sides of the i'm
mense chasm have fallen in almost
uniformly all around; the result being
that the stone sides Of Halemaumau
may be (or could be) best likened to
the conyerging sides of tunnel, which
come obliquely near together, leaving
only a small hole at the bottom. The
sides of Halemaumau were shooting
stones down to the bottom: so that
it would have been rather hazardous
for a human being to have gone down
to that small space to be shot at by
big boulders from all directions. The
aneroid | had with me indicated the
depth | reached in Haemaumau to be
100 feet below the Volcano House,
the same aneroid indicating the depth,
below the Volcano House, of the por-
ton of the floor of Kilauea, which the
trail first touches, to be 45o feet. /
saw no redness of fire in Halemaumau.

The bottom of the former New Lake
is far, far shallower than that of Hale
maumau, the bottom of the new lake
being only little lower than the level
of the bluff where the traveller starts
to descend Halemaumau.
On Wednesday, March 18th, l
crossed Kilauea, assembled the south
ern rim of the crater and went straight
to Puukolii a red hill which travellers
going from Kilauea to Kapapala des-
cry on the left (the first we thus des-
cried). No sign of any issuing smoke
could be seen in any direction. The
whole region was in its usual condition.

the fires of Kilauea are not known to
have found vent in any other place,
gives fair reason for hoping, perhaps
believing, that these fires will return to
their old hearth-stone.
The earthquakes Of Saturday eve
ming, March 9th, are believed by Mr..
Maby (manager of the Volcano House,
to have been produced by the falling
of huge rock-masses into the emptied
lake chasms of Halemaumau and New
Lake. This can hardly be otherwise.
The falling and crushing of huge rock
masses down the sides of Halemau-
mau must have been simply awful.
Locomotion among these Titanic frag
ments was fairly frightful The. de-

months ago l found to be rather less
dangerous, on the whole, than to-day's

struct the view of the field. The 22d
opened clear and with much less steam
from the many directions noticed pre-
viously After breakfast, accompanied
by Mr. J. H. Maby, manager of the
Volcano House, and the native guide,
the party set out for the days observa-
ton by going around to the bluffs on
the west side of the crater for view
from the most elevated point; then
down onto ledge abreast of Halemau-
mau's ruins, from which bank four ex-
celent Photographic views were Sc
cured. We then climbed back again
to continue our way southwark, ira
versing the banks of pumice, till we
reached place free of boulders, where
we descended into the crater by jumps
and slides, and made our way to the
pit of destruction and desolation, OBJ
tanning our first near view from the
south edge or bank, near several cones
that form (or formed) a principal feat
ure of the locality. Here much steam
and heat were observed. To the east
ward of this locality, and for con-
siderable distance to the southwark,
the bed of the crater is very much
broken and sunken This point after
ward proved to have been the most
commanding for view of the crater's
depth, and the detour around its west
and northern rim, to the northeast por-
ton of where New Lake stood, gave
us an opportunity to approximate the
extent of the vast chasm. In making
this detour we came upon two broken
cones on the western side, which gave
forth much heat but little or no steam.
These were found to be connected with
pipes or tunnels running in a north
westerly direction from the pit, and
may have been blow-holes during the
time Of activity in the lakes, judging
from their shape and encrustations OF

IT looks as if the silver question,
practically at least, will soon become
an international issue, in spite of the
repeated assertion that every nation can
leglslate on the matter without COM
mercial and financial conflict. The
question as to whether or not mono
metalism is Gripping the commerce of
Great Britain, will only be side issue
in case the question of international
competition springs out of the present
national conflict of financial systems.
Even in the United States the question
may, in one sense, be considered under
the international aspect, in as far as the
silver opinions of the great East and
the great West are at variance Can
these great sectional differences be
harmonized in the United. States? If
the people of the United States find
compromise for their differences, which
is quite probable, international compe-
tltion is more than likely to spring up
at once between the United States and
Great Britain. Suppose, for instance,
that the people of the United States
would determine, for commercial ends,
to demonetize silver for period of ten
years, what would be the result? The
best of authority states that "the result
would be such collapse of trade in
the old world that there would be a
scramble, especially In England, to
monetize silver" Suppose, again, as
has already been suggested, that the
United States should throw open her
Pacific ports, and trade freely through
them with all nations, while continuing
the existing tariffs on her Eastern sea
board. The result of such policy, it
has been estimated, would be that
European manufactures could not be
proftably sent around the world to
make free entry, but that on the
other hand the United States would
draw the tea, rice, coffee, jute and other
trade from India and China in ex-
change for the silver of Colorado, Ne
vada and the rest of the Pacific Coast
This course would virtually close the
Atlantic seaboard of the United States
with a protective tariff, while it would
fill the Pacific Ocean with an American
merchant marine, and would bring the
free trade of the Pacific into direct
competition with the free trade of Eng
land. The late victory Of the silver
men in the United States seems to
warrant such speculations as possible
in the future. The practical working
Of such a policy would force England
to buy and monetize silver ON a basis
of American values, would make the
silver question an international issue,
would partially remodel the financial
system of the United States, and would
be conclusive argument in favor Of
continuing the Hawaiian Treaty.

specially notable array OF large and
handsome illustrations and designs, in
Guiding a double-page tapestry decora-
ton, a barberry design for cup and sau-
Ger, several pages ofsecular and eccle-
siastical needlework, a page of figure
sketches by Edith Scannell, and varie-
ty of designs for fan painting, wood
carving and repousse brass work. A
special feature is some particularly fine
of Haviland porcelain.
Among the numerous topics practically
discussed the flower painting in oils,
pastel painting, craving in India ink,
fan painting, tapestry, china firing, the

The Value Of Coal Tar.

The true value of coal tar on the farm
has not generally come to be recognized.
AS preserver of wood it is the best and
the cheapest of anything we have.
This product may be obtained from gas
works at very slight cost, and when
properly applied goes great way in its
use. Any wood surface to be exposed
part of the time to moisture will be
made to last very perceptibly longer
when given covering. of tar. Those
who have tried dipping soft wood posts,
such as willow and poplar, certify that
the wood is made to last in the ground
equal to the best seasoned oak. Well
curbing, the lower boards of fences or
buildings, barn floors, in fact anything
exposed to moisture, will be we'll pre-
served ifgiven covering of hot tar.
AS a disinfectant it is considered very
valuable, and should be applied to the
walls and roosts of poultry houses and
to the soiled portions of pig pens. The
best condition in which to apply it, as
a rule, is while hot. 1t is in this way
the cheapest and forms a much better
preservative, yet it can be applied as
paint by thinning with turpentine
when in melted condition. This will
be found more expensive, as turpentine
COSTS about sixty cents a gallon. The
ordinary way of tarring posts is to dip
them; the process Is convenient and
the result most effectual. A long,
trough-like vat provided with a sheet
iron bottom and the whole set over a
brick fire place makes very conven-
lent arrangement. Two men, each pro-
vided with hook made of heavy wire,
stand at each end of the vat and are able
to perform the dipping with a great
deal of speed. The timber should be
we'll seasoned so that all the openings,
from cracking, may become
filed with the hot liquid and render it
to water. If boarded roofs
be covered with tar, water will run
from them with greatest freedom.
Cast-iron implements may be rendered
rust proof by dipping in hot tar, and
the covering will be equal to the best
Japan finish.

and successfully. Lately the train be-
tween Kansas City and Kiowa has been
shortened two hours; and too, an i'm
mence amount Of building has been
done this summer, the line extended,
and several branches built amongwhieh
are the "cut OFF, between Chamete and
Logton, and the road from Colony to
Neosho Falls, and further on West and
South. The company has also put on
a quantity of new rolling stock, and it
is not to be doubted that Southern Kan
sas will soon be the hest equipped of
any of the western roads.
OF course the question of politics is
absorbing the attention of most of the
people here nowadays. Here we have
had good opportunity of hearing all
sides, Republicans, Democrats and
Prohibitionests. One of the most nota-
BILE of the many meetings here, was
when Gov. st. John spoke on the
Prohibition side of the question. He
spoke both in the afternoon and even
ing to an immense audience. He is as
forcible as ever; as speaker, and is
just as distasteful to certain political
party, as two years ago. He certainly,
since the death of Coup, stands at the
head of temperance orators.

Dog-Days.

''The appellation of dog-days, as ap-
piled to August's heated term" said a
prominent dog-fancier yesterday, ''prob-
ably originated hundreds of years ago,
when droves of dogs were kept in
oriental cities, with the idea that the
animals were sanitary necessity, as
they consumed large portion of the
household refuse. These dogs being
unsheltered during midsummer were
subject to intense heat, which affects a
canine's brain very quickly, and sends
him off into mild sort of fit The ami
NAL then dashes around frantically,
making great deal of noise. and at
tracing considerable attention, but
usually doing no harm whatever. In
years past it was no uncommon sight in
Philadelphia for a dog to dart through
the city, alarming the residents on every
side; but now it is very rare thing, as
all superluous dogaesh is disposed of
by the dog-catchers, and those puppies
that are unmolested are generally
thought something of and well cared
for.
"a man who knows anything about
dogs can detect one of these spells, and
can check it quickly. The animal will
stick his tail between his legs, whine
piteously, and act as if startled. The
only remedy is to hold him under a
hydrant, allowing the. stream to flow
over the head, thereby cooling the
brain. All dogs are liable to be at
tackled. particularly fine-bred dogs which
have been overexerted and overheated."

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men,
tiun by the newspapers Of sudden deaths,
aud Of late the alarming frequency Of the
statement that death was caused BY rheu-
matism or neuralgia of the heart cannot
fail 70 have been noticed. In all proba-
bility many deaths attributed to heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen.
orally considered. Is there any positive
cure? TIE best answer to such question
is given by those who hare been cured by
the use of Athlophoros.
E. A. Curry, son of Mrs. J. H. Curry, of
New Paris, Ohio, says: "My ymother, previ-
Gus to her use of Athlophoros had been al
most constant sufferer from infammatory
rheumatism OF the most acute form. Atthe
time she commenced with this medicine she
was in most helpless condition; her suffer-
ing could well be termed torture; she was
confined to her bed for many weeks, nothing
we had done gave her any relief. My father
was almost discouraged and disheartened
fearing there never would be any relief for
her. Not knowing what to do next he came
to town, going to Mr. Richey's drug store,

Athlophoros and told my father to go and
see Josiah White about his use of it. Mr..
White spoke highly of the medicine and
advised my father to get bottle and try it,
which he did. After taking a few doses
mother began to get relief, after she had
used two bottles she was up and around and
in weeks time she came down town. How
long had she been afflicted with this rheu-
matism? For sixteen years, Of course it
would be better and worse at different times.
How much did she use in all? was asked.
