THEY LIKE ERUPTlONS.
Hawafians Welcome the Activity O.
kilauea as a Great Attraction
to Visitors

I'm Hawaii we pray fog Mount
Kilauea to become active, and the
more eruptions there are the better
we like it" said Philip Peck, banker
of Hilo, recently, according to the
Washington Times. "An eruption does
no HARM" he added, naively.
Doesn't do any harm? Well, it ap-
pears that Mont Pelee did plenty of
harm"
THAT was a different kind of ac-
tivity from Kilauea. In Hawaii where
Mount Kilauea has not been disturbed
for two years, the eruption is of slight
consequence. But it is great sight to
see the great lake of lava boil over the
sides of the Greater and pushed its,way
down into the bowllike valley which
has been formed by eruptions more vi
client in the ages past.
"The sight is such an unusual one that
it causes 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 edges and watch for an overflow of
the lava. The guides could tell almost
to the minute when these owerfows
would occur.
''In 1882 there threatened a great
eruption, and the natives were afraid
that the town of Hilo would be injured
The Princess Ruth, of the royal family
of Kamahameha, went to the noun
tain down which the lava had begun to
run. With her she, carried severa
chickens and one or two other ami
mails. Standing by the edge Of the
crater she threw up her head-she was
one of those imperial looking WON en-
and weighed about 400 pounds. She
called out addressing the the Hawaiian
god:
"'Pelee, you promised never to hurt
Hilo; now l have 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."

SHINES IN PORTO RICu.
Popular ffy of a New Industry That
Was sRtrOduced There by an
American BOOtbIack.

''The American occupation of Por-
to Rico has resulted III the introduce
ton of one Anglo-Saxon institution
among the Latin peoples of the West
Indies, that has already become fast
and permanent" said DIR. j. W.
Fewkes, of the bureau of ethroI0gy,
who, reports the Washington Post,
returned lately from an archasClog-
zeal tour of that island, in the coarse
of which he was afforded unusual OPP
portunities for viewing the life and
customs Of the Islanders tempered
by American influences. Continuing,
he said:
The first American troops that
landed on the island were accom-
panied by colored bootblack;; boy
about II or IA years Of age, from
New York, who drove thriving bust
ness shining the shoes of the officers.
The Porto Ricans were strangers to
such an institution, but being of an
initiative turn, were not Bong in
adopting what to them seemed
worth copying. Following on the
heels of the army came other Amer
leans, so that the. little bootblack
ness than he could attend to. But
this, however, did not last very long,
and in less than two months after
his arrival, he experienced very live
~ competition from the youngsters
of San Juan, who, watching his move
ments, straightway provided them
selves with boxes, brushes, and
backing, and learning the word
Shine were ready to black shoes
after the most approved American
fashion.
To-day every city and town. i'll
Porto Rico is full of little boot
blacks; for the natives having no
ticed that properly polished shoes
constituted part of the makeup of
well-dressed Americans, and anxious
not to be outdone in the matter of
style, adopted the custom of keeping
their shoes shined.
The American occupation and in
fuence is being felt in other ways
throughout the island, and is more
CSpCCldIlS HOllccdDle III the SCHOOLS.
The people are anxious to learn, and
education is looking up all over the
island. During my sojourn among
these people 1 visited a country
school one day where the teacher; a
bright young Porto Rican, called one
OF his pupils, little boy ten years
of age, to the blackboard and di--
rected him to draw a map of the
state of Pennsylvania. The little
fellow executed the map as well, if
not better, than [ could have done
myself, putting in the rivers and.
cities, the names of which he wrote
out in Spanish. Another little fellow
drew map of Connecticut, and L
am free to confess that 1 never in
my life saw brighter class in geog-
raphy.
Another thing I noticed is that
everybody on the island is anxious
to learn English, which is coming
into use more and more every day.

schools, and the generation now
growing up will be able to speak and

ernable anger.
At last the naughty Nelly came,
dragging her wet feet heavily up the
stairs, the water streaming from
clothes, hair and face. Passing Miss
Carman's open door, she was greeted
gravely but pleasantly with the formal
question:
"Wet, isn't it, Nelly?"
No other word was spoken, and no
other punishment was inflicted for a
fragrant violation of the law of the
school. From that day Nellie turned
over a new leaf. There were no more
occasions for rebuke. She was pune
tilious in her obedience.
Years afterward she asked the
teacher, who had long been her friend:
"Miss Carman, do you remember the
day walked miles in the rain?"
'Oh, yes, Nelly; I'm not likely to for
get that day"
"Why did you never scold me for it.,
Miss Carman?"
Because that was what you wanted
me to do. To be ignored was your
punishment. Didn't it fit the sin?''
