A BOILING LAKE OF LAVA.
Wonders of a Great Hawaiian
Volcano Described.

Mauna Loa, the gigantic Hawai-
ian volcano, has two craters or
openings, one of which, Kilauea, is
the largest active volcanic crater
in the world. This marvellous era
ter is really a vast lake of boiling
lava, which rises and falls contin-
ually by the action of subterranean
fires.
In tossing 70 and fro like a
trouble sea OF molten metal, the
lava is dashed against the cliffs
and hardens there in the form of
long, CLASSY filaments, gigantic
knobs, miniature trees and in INIT
alton of grass, leaves, etc. Another
form of CLASSY flaments to be found
along the shores of this fiery lake
is in the shape of queer punches
and tufts Of lava made up Of an
aggregation of vitreou5 threads
which the natives call "Pele's
hair Pele being the goddess to
whom the mountain is dedicated.
These CLASSY threads appear to
be caused by the passage of steam
through the motion lava. In so
doing small particles in the shape
of bubble-like balloons are thrown
into the air, leaving a tail behind
like a comet. When the scene Of
these miniature steam eruptions is
near q rock or shore, all solid and
cool surfaces are found covered
with punches of ''Pele's hair"
This "hair" was formerly used in
mystic native ceremonies, and of
late years has been gathered in
large quantities by curiosity seek

MT Charles Cranz, whose return to Bahia Los Angeles, Lower California, was noted in the last issue of TIE OASIS, was detained at Guaymas until Friday night of last week awaiting the sailing of his sloop. The captain was suffering from the after effects of a severe attack of fiesta, and it re- quired several days to get him down to normal condition so he could sail his boat. MT. Cranz hastened things little, and the captain was no doubt somewhat surprised to find himself aboard of his craft, which had set sail in the night and was far out in the gulf.

 The new arrangement on the South ern Pacific railroad causes great in- convenience at Nogales. The train from the west does not reach Benson until some three hours or more after departure of the N. M. & A. train, and as a consequence everything from the west for points on the latter road losses twenty-four hours. San Fran cisco papers are now three days old when they reach Nogales, instead of two as formerly. Cannot something be done to remedy this inconvenience?
