from the same companies, are partly
only business humbug, like that fire
fantasy Of Mr.. Trent's on the cover OF
Wilder's travelling prospectus; on
pages % 9S is o fictitious report signed
by seven visitors, but all seven sigma.

After the Kilauea-Halemaumau out.

manager pretends to have seen fire In
the Halemaumau at the same time. II
the Kilauea would have been or would
still be. as somebody believes. an open
vent OF the glowing interior of our
globe, there could not exist one side
crater on that island; but there exist
more than 200 craters on the same is
land.
(4) The crater of the Kilauea Is
not the largest, for the Mauna Loa is
three or four times larger and the Ha.
leakala extinct crater Is two or three
times as large as the Kilauea caldera.
The 13,675feet high Mauna Loa is not
easily visited being without way
marks, although the top OF Mauna Loa
Is mostly clear and the way thereto
not steep. With way marks as those
at interesting points OF travelling In
some other countries. the Mauna Loa
top could be easily reached even by
walking tourists from Halfway House.
But the Volcano House Stables charge
nonsensically: horse $50 for 3 days;
guide with horse $50, horse for pro
visions. tent, flor night or blankets
| $1h for 8 days; whereas in the U. s. A
, l paid formerly IS a day for horse OF
guide with horse; on Samoa paid only
SIPS q day and in Europe still less. II
Wilder's S. s. Company and the Vol
cano House Company would establish
a hut (shelter housed 5000 feet up or

The Kilauea volcano belongs to tn

Is the only caldera In the world wit
perfect crater. walls around it; all otl
