0rforlng Of a pig and bottle Of gin
into the lake of fire the flow imme-
diately stopped.
Such a genteel volcano as this has
great value as an attraction for tour
lists, which company OF enterpriss
ing Americans were shrewd enough
to see. So In the days 0i the mon
archy the Volcano House company
was organized TO acquire the volcano
and make 1t accessible for tourists.
The company leased tract six miles
square from Mrs. g. II. Bishop, a
woman OF royal lineage, who married
an American who had become one OK
the most prominent fnanciers in the
Hawaiian islands, built a hotel with
accommodations for 150 guests, on the
rim OF the crater, constructed rail-
road from Hilo to point within an
bour's drive of the Volcano house, and
a bride path to the summit Of Mauna
Loa.
The crater OF the Hale-mau-mau,
when the base was executed stood on
the tract OF land called Keauhou
since the first survey was made in
1873 kIale-mau-mau has moved south
along the floor of Kilauaa's crater 1888
feet, and has crossed the boundary line
Keauhou into Kapapala, which Is nor
included in the lease.
while do not wish to see any
private rights violated" said Mr.
LoeDenstein, Il should like To see
Mauna Loa set aside as a national
park, like Yellowstone park. Ths
country around KiIauea has much
that is magnificent, and much that Ia
frealKy, though in different way from
Yellowstone park From the yeranda
of the Volcano house one can see so
miles to the south. The surround-
ings are majestic in outline and
clothed In eternal green of many
shades. The county is honeycombed
with scores Of miles Of subterranean
lava conduits, forming series Of cav
erns OF indescribable grandeur.
THE movements OF the travelling
volcano make 1t one of the strangest
freaks OF nature, though the explana
tion is simple. 1t Is a known fac:
hat as the backbone of a volcanic is
land becomes solidined the molten
masses within exhibit tendency tc
seek the weaker parts OF the cave.
That is why Hale-mau-mau has trav-

VOLCANO IS ON THE MOVE
Resident Of Hawaii Wants the United
States to Lay Claim to the
Mountain.

Albert B. Loebenstein, OF Hilo,
Hawaii, recently Travelled 5000 miles
with the ayowed object OF inviting
the United States government to
commit the larceny OF a volcano. The
volcano is the property Of corpora
kion composed Of American citizens,
under The terms Of lease duly exc
cuted and recorded, which lease has
yet six years to run. Apparently the
fiery cone is dissatisfied with the
terms OF the lease, for 1t has actually
moved itself, bag and baggage, on
the leased tract, and Is now serenely
doing business on government land
at a safe distance beyond the bound
ary line.
Mr.. Loebenstein wants the govern.
nent to take advantage OF the situa'
tion BY laying claim to the volcano
because 1t happens to have left the
reservation and wandered onto gov.
ernment land end making 1t the star
feature OF a national park. Yet a
prominent lawyer in Washington says
the government has no more right TO
volcano than It would to steer
that had broken out OF it's pasture
arid strayed upon public lands.
This singular situation has been
developed through the sole eccen-
tricity of what is otherwise the most
ladylike and well-behaved volcano
ia the world. The volcano In ques.
tiun is the far-famed Kilauea, which
stands on the southeast flank OF
Mauna Loa, the worlds greatest vol
canic mountain. on the island OF
Hawaii.
Measured from sea level, Mauna
l40a, is a vast, rounded dome $4,000
feet high. Measured from the bot
tom OF the ocean 1t has an altitude OF
more than six miles and has q base
150 miles In diameter
Kilauea is separate peak, or rath'
er, 1t is a mere hump or excrescence
on the side of the great mountain at
