The sun beginning to sink behind the
dome oil Mauna Loa, whose top is 1900
feet above the sea, our guide produces
the water canteens, and we prepare to
refresh ourselves with the repast pro:

which soon spreads its mantle over all,
and ! Variable pyrotechnic display be-.

The surface seem to rise up in glow

forth from unknown depths. Subter-
ranean rumblings reverberate and echo
among the rocks, which culver Sand
tremble beneath us, and the caves OF
H%alemaumau arc lighted up as if the
imps OF Satan are holding high carnival
within those dreadful chambers. Every
steam hole and crack flashes lurid glare
in the darkness, the whole scene rescm-
bling an imaginary inferno, and as some
visitor put it, it would give the author
OF Paradise Lost pointers. Few persons
can view these weird, terrible, and
grand scenes without feeling OF awe and
reverence for God; the Creator.
We now light our lanterns and return

A BLooD-THIRSTY GODDESS,

A BLooD-THIRSTY GODDESS.
There arc many legends concerning
this goddess, who was formerly wor.
shipped by the natives and still is by
the more ignorant OF them. This god
dess was the ono most feared by the an
cient Hawaiian warriors, and often
times human beings were thrown into
the crater to appease the wrath of the
goddess and to avert q threatened over
flow. The relics OF the ancient temples
erected to Pele are often found near old
lava flows.
In strange contrast to this dreadful
picture OF q blood thirsty goddess pre-
scented to u minds, the natives mag
inc her q woman with bright eyes, OF a
queenly presence, and as courageous as
she is personally attractive.
We now move away towards the north
lake OF fire. 1t has the same general
appearance as the south lake, but is
some three times rs largo, being n quar-
ter OF u mile in diameter, and seems to
display more fury if possible, as the.

when young fellow begins to bet on
horses he's past redemption, and we
have to foreclose to save our goods"
The saddest feature Of the last rae
ing season in Chicago was, however,
the interest manifested by women.
Scores of them attended the races and
placed money on the horses. They
were losers in ninety-nine cases out of
4 hundred; and many crooked ways
were invented to account to their hus-
bands for missing funds. An instance
OF how some women are carried away
by the gambling mania was exposed in
a courtroom few weeks ago.
The young wife of a hard-working
salesman was persuaded to risk a few
dollars on horse race last June. She
became infatuated with the game, for
sock her husband and child, after
disposing of every article of household
furniture and every stitch of clothing
she could spare. When her means were
exhausted she sank to the lowest
depths of degradation. The heart
broken husband, for the sake of his
child, made several attempts to reclaim
the woman, but without success. She
staid with him long enough to secure
more money with which to try her luck,
and finally found her way into society
too low to be mentioned in this jour-
nal. The affair was to be aired in the
divorce courts, but suicide terminated
it the day before it was to be heard.
Within three months the young woman
passed from a state of honored wife
hood and motherhood into gambling
dens, police courts and suicide 8
grave.
It may safely be asserted that the
vice of betting is the cause OF more
misery and licentiousness than are
open gambling houses, as many who
would never think of entering one Of
the latter institutions visit pace tracks
patronized by sprinkling OF respect
able people.
Efforts have been made in various
cities to close the tracks with which
this article deals, and it is to be hoped
that sufficient feeling can be worked up
to accomplish such an end. Everybody
loves to see an honest horse race, but
no fair-minded man or woman likes to
have noble animals reduced to mere
gambling implements, lower in every
respect than faro tables or wheels of
fc<tune. G. w. WEIPPERT.
