few persons have been able to go to
these lava flows; they have been in
the most inaccessible parts of Mauna
Loa's lava wastes, or hidden in the
forest jungles back of Hilo. So what
we know of lava flows is what few
people have written of them. And,
in reading those accounts, perhaps we
have taken the. description of the foun-
tain (where the lava was first pour
ing from the mountain side) as that
for the flow. The first is a fearful
thing, the approach of it being full
of danger; not so the other.
The 1855 flow was in the woods
few miles back of Hilo. The captain
of an American warship in the harbor
asked to go along with a party which
Father Coan was taking to the flow.
AS they approached the place it was
necessary to leave the path and cut
a way through the thicket toward the
flow. The flames of the burning for
est could be seen, and, at intervals.
there was heard the crash of falling
trees. The smoke and mist, impris-
oned among the tall trees, shrouded
all in gloom. BY and by there was
an opening by the edge of gulch
where the lava could be seen falling
over a precipice. Some one called to
the captain who was far in the rear;
but he was nowhere to be found. He
had fled with his followers to Hilo. And
he left the harbor the next day with
his warship. Yet, this same party
spent two or three days in this very
spot, cooking their food over cracks
in the flow, warming themselves by
its heat, and walking upon it.
7 went to the 1899 flow with entirely
a wrong idea as to the nature of such
flow Under the same circumstan-
ces, with an unseen lava flow burning
it's way toward one through a dark
and tangled forest, with no way of
escape except by that path which had
been cut, am sure that I would have
been as ready to fly as was that war
ships captain. Like myself, undoubt-
eddy, that captain had been told stories
and read accounts that could hardly
be true.
MAUNA LOA'S WEAK SPOT.
Most of the flows from Mauna Loa
have come from a place between 1900
and $4,000 feet high on the northeast
slope of the mountain, being directly
back of Hilo. There is a sort of ridge
or spur of the mountain here which
runs toward Hilo; it is Mauna Loa' S
weak spot. Nearly all of Hawaii's
latest flows have come from this place.
A flow breaking low down on this
ridge would flow directly toward Hilo,
as did the 1852 flow. Breaking higher

it might run off on either side; down
past the Volcano House to Kau, or
down upon the plateau between Mauna
Loa and Mauna Kea. For some rea-
son all of the flows have gone toward
the plateau, sending but short branch
es toward Kau. Reaching this pla-
teau the lava might simply pile up
here in front of the Humuula sheep
station, as did the 1S43 flow, or it might
turn at right angles and flow toward
Hilo, as did the 1855 and 1881 flows,
or it might go the other way toward
the sea between Puako and Kiholo.
You can now understand why there
is generally so much confusion about
direction of a, flow coming from this
place, as it was with the 1899 flow.
When that flow started it was i'm
possible to tell which direction it
would finally take.
This weird region which has been
called Mauna Loa's weak spot, has
strange fascination about it, for, as
one stands here and gazes about him,
he feels that he is at the very door of
that great mystery-the volcano. This
big cone with the deep, gaping pit,
marks the place of the 1855 outbreak;
short distance below this towards
scarce a stones throw below is where
the 1881 lava came out; this cone is an
equal distance above that of the 1S43
eruption; above are the cones of the
last outbreak-that of 1899. The whole
region is covered with tangled masses
of lava of all kinds piled UP in the
widest fashion. So close together
were the outbreaks that the lava of
one overlooked that of the other and
it is impossible now to tell which is
which.
AN OUTBREAK.
When column of lava is lifted for
an eruption in Mokuaweoweo, on Ma
una Loa, the pressure is sometimes
so great that the sides of the noun
tain give way. AS the lava thus finds
new outlet lower down the erup-
ton in the crater ceases. So when
there is an outbreak from the side Of
the mountain, Mokuaweoweo is usu-
ally active first
Usually long rent or crack is made
in the mountain side extending in a
line from the summit downWards.
From some part of this crack the lava
rushes in a great fountain hundreds
of feet high.
AS the particles of lava cool in fall
ing cone or crater is soon built
within which the fountain plays at a
fearful rate in a lake of fire. From
a gap in the side of the cone pours
the stream of lava from 80 to 60 feet
wide. Later on, as the walls increase
in height, the lava may force, its way

the surface, but by scraping away the
soil the ground is found to be filed
with fragments.
LAVA TUNNELS.
Lava hardens rapidly when exposed
to the air; so a crust soon forms over
the surface of flow beneath which the
lava goes on flowing. After a time
it will melt down deep in the rock
below, forming q regular tunnel 1t
is from this central channel (of which
there may be more than one) that the
lava flow works ahead, to either side,
and by overfiows buries itself yet more
deeply. Through openings in the
crust one may look down upon the
molten stream of lava below, or after
the flow has ceased, one may scramble
down through these openings into the
tunnel and explore it. The Kaumana
caves near Hilo are different sections
of the same lava tunnel-that of the
1881 flow. They are well worth a
visit.
THE 1868 ERUPTION.
The outbreaks from the side of Ma
una Loa have usually taken place
very quietly. The first sign that there
was such an outbreak has been a
above the forest line. But this was
not the case with the 1868 eruption.
for two weeks before this occurred
the whole of Kau was rocked and sha-
ken by most fearful earthquakes.
These earthquakes were to be counted
only by the thousands. The ground
was almost constantly quaking, and
at the same time there was a rumbling
sound deep down in the earth.
Finally there was a great shake
which threw men and animals from
their feet. At the same time thou
sands of tons of earth and boulders
We're torn from the cliff and hurled
down into the Waiohinu valley; above
Kapapala this same thing took place
to a water soaked pail, making the
great mud flow; and a long crack OPP
ened, extending from the crater OF
Kilauea to a point near the sea be-
tween Punaluu and Keauhou. This
rent is now called the 1868 crack. 1t
is a bottomless crack, being but a
short distance from, and running par
allel with the road from Paha1a to the
Volcano House. All of the fire dis
appeared in Kilauea at the time this
crack opened. Shortly after the great
shake tidal wave came In upon the
Honuapo. Forty people lost their
lives in the tidal wave at Honuapo
alone.
A few days after the great shake the
lava burst its way through the side
of the mountain not far above Ka-
huku. A long rent was made in the
mountain from the lower end of which
the lava poured in an overwhelming
flood, reaching the sea in two or three
hours. The 1868 crack ended on
hillside; as the lava spouted from this
spot, falling upon the low land below,
it must have presented a magnificent
spectacle. All the hillside above the
break is deeply covered with fragments
of pumice. The 1868 flow ran pahoe-
hoe first but soon changed to typical
a. Though it has been cold ana
hard for SO years yet the lava of this
flow has all the appearance OF having
moved with fearful velocity in its up
per part. This eruption lasted but
four days.-Chas. W. Baldwin in Ha-
waits Young People.

out beneath the cone, or it may break
out in a new spot lower down in the
crack.
The crack from which the 1859 flow
came was at least four miles in
length; that of the 1899 flow about two
and one-half or three miles: the 1901
flow three-fourths of a mile: that of
the 1868 flow being also three-fourths
of a mile in length. The crack of the
1868 flow is very we'll marked, extend
ing down through the woods and end
ing on a hill side. The lava poured
from the lower end of this crack on
to the lower land below, thus forming
no cone. There is no sign that the
lava flowed from the upper part of
this rent, but that it merely oozed
up. At the very head Of the crack
there is but little lava to be seen on

Western Money II Busy.

As an example Of money conditions
in the West, Kansas City's experience
with its new issue Of school bonds,
$500, 900, is interesting. The bonds
are printed and ready for placing on
the market but are being held for
better demand. The bonds are
written at 81 per cent. rate that q
year ago would have caused eager
bidding at premium. ave are

President Norman, Of the schoolboard.
"We want par bid and we can't get
that as the market now 10. The
board Of Chicago put up Its new
school bonds two weeks ago and did
not get single bid. Nearly oil over
4 per cent bonds have been cancelled
and we can wait 40 days yet II neces-
sary before putting the new issue on
the Market"
The fact Is that the demand for
money throughout the middle west is
the most active In two years. The
banks Of the interior are loaned up to
the limit and are waiting on the agri-
cultural community for returns. Un-
til this happens the local supply Of
money for investment will be light.
The large cities Of Kansas issued
$3.50, 900 in new bonds during 1902
and all are placed, most Of them with
the school fund. Few bond issues
