the crater is magnificent fern forest
When the road is finished that Is now
building, the visitor will be able to
drive through an avenue of waving,
beautiful tree ferns into this wood and
back again.
The descent into the old crater Of XII
lauea and back again will stand in my
remembrance as equaled by only two
other experiences in my life One was
when I went down without guide to
the lava beds on the side of Mount We
suvius, the other when, checaco and
q Klondike tenderfoot, walked over
Bonanza trail from Dawson to the
mines in the summer after q rain.
The Kilauea trip was in some respects
more thrilling even than the redhot
ashes walk at Vesuvius. A trail, an
easy, pleasant footpath, has been put
through the fern jungle to the old XII
lauea crater. It ends at the brink
There you look down the cliffs perhaps
1000 feet into the hole where millions
of years ago Goddess Pele of the vol
cano spouted forth birthstone and lava
upon the children of men. It is not i'm
possible to descend into the crater itself,
though difficult, and only to be attempt
ed by the strong, healthy and active.
At fret nobody cared to 60 down, then
two of our party, fine, athletic young
Briton and myself, said we would try
it, and down we plunged. After we left

jects, young physician from Ireland.

followed u.s. perhaps to take care Of us
in case we broke limb or were stricken
with heart failure He did not find us,
however, and we two made the journey
alone.
We clambered, swung and slid down
the cliff, supporting ourselves by the
stout walking sticks we had taken with
us, holding fast by rocks and by the
tough scrub growth which nature seems
to plant in such places on purpose for
venturesome mortals to hang on to. At
last we reached the bottom and walked
across the old crater, crunching under
our feet the lava ashes Of desolation as
we went.
On the hillside little way up the
wall was another and smaller crater,
punch bowl shaped, which Of old had
poured its boiling, bubbling contents
into the larger receptacle below. In an
evil moment we decided to go up to
that hillside crater and take ''short
CUT home. It was that short cut busi-
ness that proved our undoing. 1t did
not look difficult from the depths below
to scale that green hillside and strike
into the trail at the top.
Well, so far as physical strength, en-
durance and activity are required part
of that ascent embraces the most work
have ever attempted or accomplished.
At some points we had absolutely to
crawl upon our hands and knees, trying
beforehand each rock we touched to see
whether it would not give way and
dash us headlong down the precipice to
death below Even where the ground
was little more level it was full Of fis
sures concealed by the tangling, foot
lettering fern. We had always to be on
the lookout for these cracks lest we fall
into them and on to unknown depths
At last we reach the top, painting and
with scratched and bleeding hands. Ny
dress is torn in 40 places and hangs in
stringlets and ribbons We stop to
breathe little, then push on through
the fern jungle. It is like trying to
wade through an acre Of soft chewing
gum. My friend declares that for him
this is the toughest part of the journey.
At last we reach the trail We have
been two hours and half making the
return. Then at last, when we are all
safe and the rest of the way is easy, my
friend turns to me and says:
II wouldn't have believed woman
could do it.
For the sake of womankind l was
proud of the compliment. felt just
then that the physical training have
kept up all my life, the long tramps,
the swimming, bicycling and athletic
exercise were worth what they cost me
and more.
Early next morning, to the sound of
bugle and crack of whip we start to
stage it down the other side of Kilauea
to Punalu. We stop for luncheon at
place kept by man who is all alone
and who raises chickens and turkeys
for profit and amusement. The fowls
are all he has to love, for he is wild
over, not, however, averse to matri-
mony, as he gently limited. If any wo-
man wants a husband who is a first
class cook I take pleasure in recon-
mending the lone turkey tender. We
finish the journey to Punalu upon q
queer little hand car whose own weight
moves it along the down grade through
sugar plantation.

Warm steam from unfathomable
depths rises always and floats softly
away, cloudlike, from the grounds about
the volcano house. You know somehow
that if nature chose che could at any
moment open the earth beneath you
and bury all trace Of humanity upon
that mountain top mile deep. This
consciousness never gets away from you
during your stay at the volcano.
First you go to the sulphur beds, a
few hundred yards from the house
Here eternally, through ages and gen.
erations, the fumes of birthstone rise
as from the pit of inferno. The earth
is yellow with them. From little blow
holes the sulphur steam pours through
the mineral, hardening into tiny crys-
tails around the edge. Involuntarily it
suggests to you the vigorous and fine
old orthodox sermons that used to send
you to bed in terror in your childhood.
Sheol and sulphur, volcanoes and sui
phur, always go together. l wonder
why! Some Of the sulphur steam has
been captured and piped into a build
ing, where it is forced to give out
healing virtues in the shape Of an in
vigorating medicated bath. Thus man 8
ingenuity utilizes for his own benefit
the very fumes Of inferno
To the westward from Kilauea great
Mauna Loa is visible, her head 40 miles
away in the clouds It looks about five
miles away. A road is to be constructed
to the top of Mauna Loa in year or
two, it is hoped. Then the hurried tour
ist will be aEle to ascend that too.
When you come to Kilauea, see the
sunrise If you are not good at rising
early in the morning, then stay up all
night to greet the sum- It is worth it.
The dark. tremendous outline of Mauna
Loa rising against the radiant, rosy sky
in the west. in the east the sunrise
glow, and before you the black crater,
clear and sharp, with white clouds
lowering lightly over the steam holes
here and there. At your feet the grass
is heavy with glistening due, and
around you the divine, mysterious still
ness of the dawn-all this forms q pic
ture you will carry in memory the rest
Of your life.
Kilauea has three principal craters-
the large one, the little one inside the
large one and the old crater. You go
down into the crater and cross it on
horseback. or walk it, as you choose
americans, not being walking race
iaostly take it on horseback. If you are
a woman tourist, bring an old skirt or
divided skirt with you to tackle the
crater in. The fact is, you see, women
ride into that crater man fashion
astride It is safer and easier.
At first blush, literally first blush,
mind you, a woman tenderfoot from
the eastern states feels queer to raise
her foot and swing it across horse 8
back as she has seen men do. especially
as the whole establishment is out in
force to gaze on her and see how she
does it. She hesitates half shuts her
eyes, lifts one foot to the stirrup, hesi-
tates again, then summons all her nerve
and makes the plunge. 'Tis done. In a
second more she trots off, easy and COM
fortable-feels as secure and independ-
ent as if she had been riding in this
sensible way all her life. Returning,
she comes up the steep. narrow path in
regular cowboy canter and is not
afraid.

Copyright 1899 by Associated Press. J
Berlin, May 13.-Negotiations for a
commercial treaty between the Uni
ted States and Germany have now been
taken up in earnest at this end OF
the line. The United States Ambas-
sador, Mr.. Andrew ID. White, expects
that, despite the number of formida-
BILE obstacles that must be overcome
such a treaty as will be satisfactory
to both nations will crown the efforts
of the representatives of the two Gov
ernments. There is every reason for
saying that the German Government
and notably the Foreign Minister, Bl-
ron Won Buelow, will do it's best ia
overcome the difficulties of the task
of formulating such a treaty The
Foreign Office is having the potent aid
of Emperor William as well as the
sympathetic cooperation of represen-
tatives of all the German States in the
Bundesrath, and is determined not to
permit the obstinate aversion of the
powerful Agrarian interests to stand
in the way of such an important bond
with America. The Emperor made
clear the fact that he views such a
treaty most favorably, in the course
of recent expressions to Baron Won
Buelow. The main difficulty that Mr.
White has encountered thus far in
the preliminary conferences at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the err
roneous idea that has taken hold OF
the German mind and been systematic
cally fostered by the Agrarian and
other newspapers that trade with the
United States has latterly been dis
tinctly improbable.
The onslaughts of all the Agrarian
organs upon American meat this week
have been of the most violent and
fiercest description. A number of ca
Diagrams have been reprinted from
certain -apers in America, considera-
bly increasing the volume of these at
tacks. The Kreuz Zeitung reiterated
the statement that American meat in
spection is a farce. The Deutsche
Fleischer Zeitung, the organ of the
butchers, stated that part OF the
steamer Bulgaria's cargo consisted OF
American horse meat, which was auc-
toned off at Hamburg and is now
being sold under false flag TO Ter
man consumers. This statement
which has been widely circulated M;
unfavorably influenced public opln-
ion.
Ambassador White had several con-
ferences this week with Foreign Min
lister Won Buelow regarding the meat
inspection bill. Both of these officials
hope that the Reichstag will pass a
measure that will be acceptable to
both countries.
The vigorous agitation in favor OF an
increase in the navy by an extra ap-
preparation that was sanctioned by The
Reichstag continues. The Flotten
Vorein, a naval society with mem
bership of 10000 urges that the ma
ton hasten the building of new YES
sells and demands the increase if Ger
many is not to be outmanoeuvred by
more active nations in all points OF the
world where a vigorous display OF ma
val power may be necessary.

THE NAVAL RESERVES.
The Federal Appropriation Given
Amounts to $2,32S.1J.

Governor Russell has been notified by
the Secretary Of the Navy that the Ma
val Reserves Battalion of North Caro-
lima will receive $2,32S.15 as their
share of the naval militia fund OF the
Federal Government.
The money. will be used for equlpping
the Naval Reserves with guns, haver-
sacks, canteens, ammunition, etc. The
Government furnishes uniforms outside
of this appropriation. The Reserves
will be armed with Lee magazine rifles
of the very latest pattern. They already
have large Hotchkiss gun.
The appropriation last year was less
than one-half of what it is this year.
The larger appropriation wild add much
to the strength and efficiency OF the
organization.
