Some idea Of the terrors Of burst
ing volcano may be gained from the
account of the last eruption in Hawaii.
The crater OF the volcano was filled
rom 600 to 1000 feet deep with molten
lava. which finally forced its way
through a subterranean passage. II
was forty miles from there to the sea,
yet this avalanche of molten rocks
reached the waters in less than two
lays, destroying every thing in its
track. 1t continued flowing for three
weeks, heating the sea water twenty
niles from shore.

Occasional polar exploration has u.s.
uslly resulted In much suffering. with
slight compromising accomplishment.
Continuous polar exploration Is new
proposed, with the expectation that
mere win be done aad less suffered
than under the old system OF arctic
travel and observation.
Mr.. Robert Stein, a the United
States Geological survey. has elaborai-
ed a plan OF arctic research which has
commended Itself 10 eminent explorers
and men Of science. The plan. In brief,
Is as follows: A base OF operations Is
to be established at the entrance Of
Jones Sound, a spot In communication
with the outer world. through the an-
nual visits Of whalers. A small party
OF white men. with several Eskimo fam
lilies. would constitute the headquarters
force.
From this point. where the explorers
could live In comparative comfort. OK
petitions would visit in the course Of
time. the west coasts OF Ellesmere
Land. Grinnell Land. Balm Land and
other regions which invite both by
what Is known and by the unknown.
Gen. A. W. Greeley declares that the
west coast OF Ellesmere Land Is the
one field OF exploration in all the arc
tic that promises the largest results
with the least amount o. labor and
danger"

ETY.. OF Vienna. and the Anthropological
society Of Washington approve Of Alr

Beside the cost in life and suffering,
the money outlay for arctic exploration
has been great Il will therefore BE- a
