tivity from Mount Kilauea. In Ha-
wall, where Mount Kilauea has not
Deen disturbed for two years, the erup-
ton Is OF slight consequence. But 1t
is great sight to see the great lake of
lava boil over the sides of the crater
and push its way Gown into the bowl
like Galley which has been formed by
eruptions more violent in the ages past.
The sight is such an unusual one
that 1t causes a great influx of visitors
each year, and that naturally is a good
thing for the island financially. That's
why we like the volcano to be active.
Kilauea's crater is the largest in the
world. People used to go and sit by
its edge to watch for an overflow of
the lava. The guides could tell almost
to the minute when these overfiows
would occur.
I'm 1882 there threatened a great
eruption and the natives were afraid
that the town of Eiilo would be injur-
ed. The Princess Ruth of the royal
family of Kamehameha, went to the
mountain down which the lava had be-
gun to run. With her she carried sew
eral chickens and one or two other an
imals. Standing by the edge of the
crater she threw up her head-she was
one of those imperial looking women,
and weighed about 400 pounds. She
called out, addressing the Hawaiian
god:
" Pelee, you promised never to hurt
Hilo; now L come to remind you of
your promise
with this she threw the chickens
into the lava. The next day the dis
turbance somewhat subsidized and the
natives attributed to the Princess the
credit of it."

A Prophet of Evil.

From the New York Commercial.
Calamity Totten is at it again. The
recent Martinique horror has moved
him to come from his obscurity to an
nounce that it is all a fulfilment of his
prophecies that the end of the Chris
tian age is come. The Millennial age is
at hand, and it is useless for the Nor
ganization of the world to go further
So says the prophet, and he announces
it in way to convince one that he ac-
tually believes it.
1t was this sort of thing that lost
him his commission in the United
States army-his post as instructor in
military science at Yale. Both the gov
eminent and Yal@ regretted the loss
for most brilliant I'D able and force

mathematical puzzles unbalanced him
as they have many other able men;
and he refuses to cease trying to be a
