THE MAUNA LOA ERUPTION.

The Advertiser, since ST. Pierre
Martinique, was destroyed, has not
looked upon volcanoes, however tame
they may be, as a tourist asset. TIC
the vast majority of people a volcano
is a powder magazine which, after
lulling the neighbors into security
blows up and kills them. Hence in
dealing with ours, through news letters
and in tourist literature, it is well to
respect this prejudice and to make it
clear that Mauna Loa is about 15C
miles from Honolulu, divided from it
b. two large and two small islands and
that the whole trend of volcanic activ-
dty has been, for centuries, towards
the southeast away from and out of
sight and hearing the island upon
which Honolulu is situated.
Even upon the island which contains
Mauna Loa and it's lower crater of
Kiiauea, the danger is entirely differ
ent and much less serious in its char
acter from that which destroyed st.
Pierre. Mont Pelee blew off it's top
and precipitated a cloud of gaseous
vapor upon a nearby town. That
was because the cap of the mountain
was rigid and made resistance enough
to imprison the gases until their
strength became Overwhelming. But on
Hawaii the burning mountain is por-
Gus and is supplied, in the ever open
vent of Kilauea, with an escape valve.
When a force reaches UP from the
Enceladus caverns, under Mauna Loa,
a mightier one than Kilauea can deal
with, it gently thrusts aside the soft
and loose strata far up on the shoulder
of the $4,000 feet mountain, and with
out uproar or CONFUSION, lets go a
stream of lava. There are no towns
and villages to be destroyed by the
flow and small danger to property,
save to isolated sheep and cattle
ranches.
In point of fact there is less peril
from earths spasmodic forces here
than there is in California where i'm
prisoned gases are ever making earth
uuakes. 1T is doubtful if Honolulu
has had an earthquake IN a genera
ton which was perceptible to the
whole public and not a matter of dis
pute afterwards. In that time Cali
fornia has had some hundreds of lively
shakes. People living on this group
regard the volcano on Hawaii island
as their sure protection against seis-
mic danger and they would not have
it become extinct if they could. Well
for California if it had such gas
chimney.

THE PUBLIC EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

The reckless spirit with which pub
lie expenditures are urged in Hawaii
appears again through a comparison
between the cost of various State and
Territorial buildings already provided
for at the Worlds Fair and the recon-
mendation lately made that this Ter
ritory should expend from $4,000 to
1922, 900 for a structure of it's own. 1t
took hard work in and out of the press
to defeat this extravaganza, the enor-
that the entire st, Louis building fund
of New York-a State of six millions
of people, the richest one in the Union
and the richest non-independent SOW
ereignty in the world-amounts to
$4,000 all told. For the State of Ne
vada $4,000 suffices and for Arizona
$1,000. Hawaii, with a $4,000 propo-
sition would be doing very well in
deed-a third as well as New York.
Our harbor improvements will cost
great sums and yet they are no more
our pecuniary affair than the i'm
provements of the channel through the
Golden Gate and the bay beyond is an
affair Of San Francisco or California.
The harbors of the coast belong to the
United States and Congress is charged
with the care of them. And it is so
with lighthouses. Nevertheless Ha-
wall assumes such expenditures with
a free and easy grace, no matter
how large they are, and has entered
no complaint at Washington though
complete annexation is over three
years old.
Fellow citizens, considering that the
Treasury is not, precisely, at high
water mark, isn't it time to get int
the habit of economizing and count
ing the cost?

GIANTS GRAVES.

The cairns or giant graves at Bosau,
near Eutin, Germany, are being exca-
waited under the direction of Profess
isor Knorr, of the Kiel Museum of An
tiquities. One grave has already been
opened up, in which two urns and a
gold bracelet twelve centimeters in
length were found. A stone grave
three meters long and ITO centimeters
wide, containing a skeleton supposed
to be over 5000 years old, was also laid
bare. The work is to be continued, as
it is supposed that an ancient ceme-
terry or place of sacrifice existed there
formerly.

ONE PRINCESS'S KIN.

The forthcoming marriage of Prin-
cess Alice of Battenberg with Prince
Andrew of Greece can be best under
stood by reference to a genealogical
table, but here are some curious facts.
Princess Henry of Battenberg is at
once her aunt and her grand aunt; her
mother is at once her mother and her
distant cousin; she is also the distant
cousin of her own father; her future
husband is the brother-in-law of her
mothers first cousin; the German en-
peror is her first cousin and the Gar
ina of Russia is her mothers sister.

sg Tetanus Conquered.

The recovery of nine-year-old Joseph
Tracey of Germantown avenue and JEFF
ferson street, who lay in a critical
condition in st. Mary's hospital for
nearly two months suffering from teta-
nus, is regarded as most remarkable.
The boy has responded to the anti
toxin of carbolic and hypodermic injec-
lions of carbolic acid solution, and the
physicians say he will be able to leave
the hospital in a few days
The lad was run over by a train on
the Philadelphia and Reading railway
at Girard and Germantown avenues on
July %, and several fingers were cut
off the right hand and the arm badly
lacerated. He was taken to the hos
pital, and about two weeks later te-
tanus developed. For time the boys
life was despaired of, he having had s.
commissions in two hours. The physi-
clans are jubilant over their success
as so few tetanus victims recover

SOAP BOILER AND MONT BLANC.
The latest failure to ascend Mont
Blanc is interesting. The heroes of the
story are German students with whom
the primary difficulty of the enterprise
was that of finding the money to pay
for it, A happy thought struck them,
and they called upon a Berlin soap
boiler to make a proposal. If he, on his
part, would finance the expedition, they
on theirs, would placard the mountain
from base to summit with the posters
with which he advertised his wares.
The soap boiler liked the idea, and the
bargain was duly struck. Happily,
however, the communal authorities at
Chamonix got wind of the proposal,
and the German students are now on
their way, leaving a trunk full of con-
fiscated posters behind them.
