KILAUEA's SULPHUR RATRs.
How Hawaiians Pull Plug out Of
Volcano at Will.

The volcano of kilauea, Hawaii is now
working successfully as the heating and
medicating agency of the steam and vapor
baths at the Volcano House, says a New
York paper.
In every direction about the group of
four craters commonly known as Kilauea
the earth is cracked open by seams of
greater or less extent. As they are
commonly screened by dense growth of
the ma'uma'u fern, which grows all the
more rank by reason of the heat drawn
up from below, these crevices make 1t
dangerous to travel out of beaten paths
Some of them breathe out a sluggish cur
rent of warm and moist air; others are
richly charged with sulphur fumes Near
the Volcano House all the crevices are
rich in sulphur, and one large rift is
completely covered with banks of the yell
low mineral, to which additions are stead
lily made by the exhalations from below.
Some small seams near the hotel have
been utilized for the baths. The seam Is
lrted over with clay to confine its exha-
lations to single vent, which may be
iccntrolled as needed. Over this the bath
house Is built, three or four seams pro-
viding for as many bath establishments.
Il he bather finds the same sort of accom-
mediation as in a bath-house where the
lv6ror comes from water boiled by the ex-
peEditure of coal and visible pieces Of
birthstone. When the attendant has clos
ed up the cabinet the bather is instructed
n pull the strihg and turn on the volca-
no.
OF course, 1t is perfectly safe. No one
has ever yet been erupted or otherwise
Imaltreated in the volcano baths, but II
does seem a somewhat risky thing to do.

largest volcanoes and to turn on for petty

DEATH Of
A KAMAA|NA
The Passing of Robert
More.
He LIVED HERE "a YEARS
Was Prominent Among Masons and
in Business and Leaves
Many Friends.

Robert More, well-known kama
alma, died last evening at the residence
of his father-in-law Robert Lishman,
in Punahou. Mr. More has been i'll for
several months and came over from
Hawaii four weeks ago for treatment
The change did him little good al
| though it probably prolonged his life
| by considerable period and he has
been gradually growing worse until his
death last evening.
| Mr.. More was born in Glasgow,
| Scotland, on November 80, 1S47, and
came to the Islands in 1866. He went
into the Honolulu Iron Works soon af-
ter his arrival as machinist and was
with that corporation for several years.
Later he opened a machine shop on
i King street and under the name Of
Robert More and Company he did
4 business for some time. At the or
ganization of the Union Iron Works he
became the superintendent of the ma
chine shops and for several years oc-
cupied that position. About nine or ten
, years ago Mr.. More suffered a serious
: accident in the works. A quantity of
waste was being crushed and scme of
the machinery broke and fell on Mr..
5 More who was directing operations. Ht
was quite seriously injured and it is be-
: lieyed that this accident was the orig
inal cause OF the disease which finally
carried him away.

q been the engineer at Onomea planta
;. ton. and was living there when the i'll
;, ness seized him that caused his death
e During his residence in Honolulu Mr.
y More was quite prominent in busines
= circles and he numbered his friends b.
= the thousand. He was a prominen
s member of the Volunteer Fire Depart
d ment during the early sos and was a
=, one time assistant chief of the depart
d ment. He mingled somewhat in poll
?. ties and was connected with the Ma
g tional Reform movement in the lat
is SOS, but he never held any official posi-
10 tions.
l. Early in his residence here he ha
1t taken an interest in Masonic matter:
D and he was an enthusiastic member c
> Hawaiian Lodge No. 81 of the Masoni
- fraternity. He finally became Maste
IA and Past Master of the lodge. Whe
he went to Hilo he was instrumental
organizing the chapter of the orde
~ there and was the first Master of K
as lauea Lodge. One of his last request
Id before he passed away was that +
lis should be buried by his old comradt

A cENruRY,s ADVANCE.

The United States Is larger now than
all Europe in point of area. IL has
100000 square miles-one-fourteent
of the land surface OF the entire globe.
In 1870 we had just $4,000 square miles.
Chicago was unheard of in 1900. The
century was three years old before the
government even built a fort where
Chicago now stands. and II was not un-
tai 30 years later that n city was
thought of and Incorporated.
The street car was unknown in 1900.
The century was third over before the
first horse car appeared-in New York
city. The trolley car came only 12
years ago. Now we have $4,000 miles of
trolley roads in America, running CO.,
BOO cars.
We are the richest nation on the
globe. To-day our wealth is estimated
at over $100, 200, 0O0, 900; in 1900 IL was
$1,000, 100000. A man worth $500, 900
was then considered abnormally rich;
to-day we have several hundred men
who are worth $4,000. 900 or more.
Carpets were luxury in 1900. There
were few wooden carpets in Philadel-
phia and New York; few ingrains, and
here and there an imported Turkish
rug. But these were used for state oc-
casions. The rag carpet was the glory
OF the housewife. A few Administer
carpets were made in Philadelphia, but
the century was well begun before in
grains appeared. Up to 1850 there was
not power loom for carpet-making in
America.
1t is amazing how people lived in 1900.
judged from modern standpoints. Ralf
of them dwelt in log huts. Window
glass was a luxury even in the coast
towns. Some people used oil-paper;
others had simple openings in the walls,
which in winter were closed with plank
split from logs. The iron stove was a
positive luxury; the furnace was un-
heard Of Great fireplaces supplied
heat, but could not keep these huts
comfortable in winter.
There were 9o3 post offices in 1900.
To-day we have 75,OOo-that is. in
America alone. It took letter 10 DAYS
to go from Philadelphia to Lexington,
KY; % days to Nashville, Tenn. The
cheapest letter postage was eight cents,
and to send letter more than 100 miles
cost shilling. Three million letters
and papers were then sent in a year;
at the present time the post office
handles about 100000 pieces of mail

We are weak, and temptations are

Madam and l had preferred informal
ity; Darracott Chester, although q man
of few requirements, wished those re-
Quirements properly fulfilled. Our
household began to broaden itself out;
unused rooms We're denuded of their
swathings and opened to the light of
day; more elaborate and more numer-
Gus courses were served at the meals,
which now became a function rather
than an incident OF our days; the
stables received fresh accessions, and
an air OF birth or resurrection, rather
than of death, seemed TO invest the
place. AS for my dear lady herself, l
could see that the return of her son had
brought living interest into her ex-
istence to which she had long been a
stranger.
