HSlIGH Nine. Pele's fireworks.
~ Nine. Pele, you know, is
the dread goddess of the
volcano; and every once in awhile, in
fit of anger against the irreverent
mortals that dare invade her terri
tory, she sends forth fountains of
fire and streams of lava
When I am introduced as a lady
from Honolulu, I am often asked if
that is not the place where the big
volcano is. So, I feel it may not be
unnecessary to remark that the
island on which Honolulu is situated
contains no active volcanoes; that
the volcano rs on, or in, the groups
southernmost island, Hawaii, which
is distant almost 200 miles from the
capital city. And many say to me:
"Well, what is the name of your vol
cano? One paper calls it Mauna Loa,
another Kilauea, and sometimes the
headlines come out with an outland
ish Mokuaweoweo. A 1ong-suffering
public would like to know what name
to use when speaking of volcanic &C
tivity in Hawaii
somewhat confusing, 1 shall endeavor
to explain their relations. First,
please call to mind the fact that
Hawaii contains the highest noun
tain of any island in the world. One
of these, Mauna Loa, is 1860 feet
high. On the summit of Mauna Loa
is a great crater, almost ten miles in
circumference, and. this crater is Mo-
kuaweoweo. Mokuaweoweo is only
infrequently active. On the side of
the mountain, 1000 feet above the
sea, is the volcano of Kilauea, which,
though browsing the last few years,
has never wholly relaxed and gone to
sleep:
The fires of 1899, which easily out
rivaled all the other Fourth of July
pyrotechnics of that year, broke out
neither in Mokuaweoweo or in XII

one scarce expects on the side of a
burning mountain. The higher one
goes, the more intense seems the
greenness; and no wonder the vege-
tation is so dank, for on the side of
Kilauea where stands the Volcano
house, is the wettest place one can
ina CINE. The trees drip continuous
ly, the grass vets one to the knees,
the flower cups overflow, the ground
is black with moisture, the atmos-
phere visible. And this on the rim of
a crater!
l visited Kilauea in 1892, at the
time it was very active. We descend
ed into the crater by a long, steep
path bordered by ferns, shrubs and
vines. At the foot, most inauspiciouS,
was stone marking the place where
death had overtaken a traveller, come
on the same mission we were, to
view the greatest active volcano in
the world; and it added not a little
to our already-present timidity, this
tomb at the entrance to the abode
of Pele. The guide assured US the
man died from heart disease, that
the volcano had not burned him with
fire or suffocated him with poisonous
gases, but we wished that poor I'M
known had never come to kilauea.
We hurried from the spot and fol-
lowed our guide across a floor of
lead-colored lava, sometimes jumping
bottomless cracks, and a mile from
the foot of the descent, red-rimmed
ones. Steam escaped from openings
to right and left; the air we
breathed was sulphurous; the lava
we stood on was hot, the very air
was hot. A little further and we saw
the volcano of Kilauea! No crude
picture the reader has ever looked
upon was redder than were the fires
of that burning lake; no pillows
painted by a senSation-loying artist
higher; no hell of Milton or Dante
more terrible. Believe everything
you ever hear about the fiery lake OF
Kilauea, and then, unless you see it
for yourself, you viii never-know it.
To stand, as I stood, 200 feet above
it, feel it scorch my face, feel and
hear it break at the foot of the
cliffs and shake the ground whereon
l stood, to watch the red stuff boil
ing, and wonder how deep down it
reached. to smell the flames to
go almost mad wondering what it
was that was burning expert
ence one can never forget as long as he
lives.

QUAIL IN NORTHERN WINTERS
The Birds Have Demonstrated Their
Ability to Withstand the Sc
verify of the Season.

Reports from Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota show that the quail
in the southern parts of those states
wintered we'll; in the northern parts
there are no quail winter OF summer,
says the New York Sun.
The hardness of the birds has
proved a surprise, as in western Wis
consin and eastern Minnesota the
snowfall was the heaviest in years. In
January it was the belief that the
quail would be almost eXterminated.
In that month came the kind of
snow that is the most deadly to
ground-bird life-soft and continuous
until depth of nearly a foot on the
level was reached, then slight rise in
temperature followed by a drilling
rain, which wet the snow thoroughly,
then a fall and hard freeze, convert
ing the snow surface into solid ice,-
roofing over the particles beneath.
When a storm of this kind comes the
birds take shelter under bushes, but
the snow finds them and covers them.
When the freeze follows their only re-
course is to tunnel their way to the
upper air and the quail is often not
strong enough to make a way through
An imprisoned flock takes turrs "a
hammering at the crust, but even if
they gain their liberty, coming out one
by one through a hole just large
enough to permit of egress, they find
their feeding places almost impene-
trabIs covered and have strong
chance of starvation.

near his barn, but generally the
bevies are left to look out for them
selves and whether they live or die de-
ponds entirely upon the length of time
the frozen crust lasts. Quail are ex-
ceedingly daring and ingenious in find
ing food knder such circumstances.
Some bevies come up to the farm
yards and associate AMIGA bly, with the
chickens, sometimes even going into
the henhouse to roost The huge
Brahmas and Cochins regard the in
vasion with dislike, but cannot catch
the nimble little marauders who get
much more than their share of the
food until their small crops are filed,
Other bevies stay along the edges
of streams. Here the snow upon one

and it must be singularly barren
ground from which snow-harassed
quail cannot manage to extract some
nutriment.
Others feed upon the sti1l-clinging
seeds of weeds which project above
the crust and others try their already
sore bills along the crevices Of old logs
and trees, looking for worms which
have gone as far in from the cold as
they can get.
The state of Wisconsin has been at
much trouble and expense as to its
quail Some years ago there were not
dozen quail to a county; they had
been shot. netted and trapped almost
to extinction.
Some thousands Of pairs were i'm
ported from Oklahoma, a territory
which does not now permit the ex-
portation of quail, and they were
turned loose in cold and strange
country to die or multiply as they saw
fit.

The Travelling Man Who Did Not Have

''They talk about the cheek Of the

to the Detroit Free Press, ''but it's all
