HISTORY OF RESTLESS
VOLCANOES PAST FLOWS

| People generally have a great dread
an outbreak they are thankful they do
not live on Hawaii. However. Ha-
| wall is big island, and the largest
of its lava flows covers only small
part of the surface. Again. all of thu
recent lava flows of Hawaii have flow
ed over waste regions, with the ex-
ception of those of 1868 and 1887. which
covered the best of the Kahuku pas
lures. Then. too, lava flow, after the
rush of the first outbreak, moves slug
gishly, giving one plenty of time to
get himself and his belongings out of
its way. There is great danger, how
ever, from flow which breaks low
down on the mountain side, as houses
may be within reach of the first rush
of the lava. Such was the 1858 flow
which overwhelmed the home of Cap
tain Brown, he and his family barely
have ever been lost in lava flow that
we know of. Yet, why this fear of
fowse
The truth is that in times past very
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 a few
people have written of them. And.
in reading these accounts, perhaps we
have taken the description of the foun-
tain (where the lava was first pouring
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 a
few miles back of HiIo. The captain
of an American warship in the harbor
asked to go along with party which |
Father Coan was taking to the flow. I
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
al in gloom. BY and by there was
an opening by the edge of gulch
where the lava could be seen falling
,ver precipice. Someone called to
he captain. who was far in the rear,
,ut he was nowhere to be found. He
lad fed with his followers to Hilo. And
lie left the harbor the next day with
lis 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.
l went to the 1889 flow with entirely
wrong idea as to the nature of such
How. Under the same circumstances,
with an unseen lava flaw burning its
way toward one through 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 warship's
captain. Like myself, undoubtedly.
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 II, 900
and $4,000 feet high On the northeast
slope Of the mountain, being directly
back of HHo. 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,5
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
branches toward Kau. Reaching this
plateau 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 understnd 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 impos-
sible- to tell which direction it would
finally take.
The weird region which has been
.alied Mauna Loa's weak spot has a
strange fascination about it, for, as
me stands here and gazes about him,
he feels that he is at the very door OF
hat great mystery-the volcano This |
pig cone, with the deep, gaping pit, |
marks the place of the 1855 outbreak; !
| short distance below this, towards |
lilo. is the 1852 cone; that long rent /
carce a stones throw below is where I
he 1881 lava came out; this cone is an
quail distance above that of the 1843
ruption; above are the cones Of the
ast outbreak-that of 1899. The whole
cgion is covered with tangled masses
f lava of all kinds piled up in the
Yi1dest fashion. SO close together
ERE the outbreaks that the lava Of
ne overflowed that of the other; and
is. impossible now to tell which is

BIC MOUNTAIN STREAM
OF INCANDESCENT LAVA

! C. Henry White, in a letter to Hen
~ Smith dated Naalehu, January IA
says:
1--WE have been having very ex-
citing times here during the last few
days. Earthquakes and lava flows,
rain storms and cold weather.
1.-THE lava flow started from about
the same place as the 81 one did and
has, so far as can be made out at
present, gone over no new land, but
it gives Norris poor chance of selling
/ his ranch now.
1.-THE whole district has turned out
today to visit the flow, which is about
10 miles from here, and at present
there must be at least 700 men and
women there
cit is difficult to describe the flow
1t is not like so many others-a flow
like mud being pushed ON from behind,
but it is like a huge water-fow from
some mountain stream rushing fran
tically along and taking everything
before it.
1.-THE sound reminds you of the sea
breaking on a pebbly beach, the I'M
der-fow sucking in the pebbles only
to return them with the next wave.
The lava flow is much the same only
more so, for the noise is continuous,
much louder and more awful
:. You do not have to look down to
see all this, for as you stand on the
government road you must look up
some feet to see the huge mass of
molten rock sail past you-not in the
desultory way as PAINS tramcars of
old, but in manner that shows bust
ness.
1.-The color of this mass of molten
matter as it passes you beggars de-
seription. Both in the light of day
and in the night the sight is awe
inspiring. 1t is weird yet magnificent,
CORY yet grand. There is fascina-
ton in the sight that rivets you to
the spot.
flow and spy a huge mass of redhot |
lava coming toward you, as big as !
an iceberg, and you watch its APP /
proach with the same enthusiasm as /
that of the small boy who, standing
on bridge, watches the objects com
ing toward him hurled along the cur
rent of some swollen river
"At last you go home but not to
sleep, no matter how far you are away.
for when you close your eyes you close
in the sight that has been haunting
you all the way home, and for the
-est of the night you are visited by
enormous beasts with fiery eyes, fiery
bodies, and fire all about you, and
when you try to call out for help you
ire unable to utter sound.
1.-THE strain soon leaves you and

but not with loud report, and then
come rolling down until their force
is spent.
So far as 1 can learn there has been
little, if any, damage to pasture lands
on Kahuku ranch.
The new flow merely points toward
Kona and is excessively active but
the natural barriers. viii prevent it
coming into the district. The original
of the present outbreak was from a
point about where the 'S7 flow start
ed and it followed the same course,
much of the new lava going over the
old The second flow started little
on the Kona side of the first and is
going over waste land without inhict-
ing damage. The third is from a
point a few hundred feet below it,
flowing a short distance toward the
80 flow and there turning to the
north.
The first flow has subsidized and no
fire is visible but the IA formation is
too warm for the Kau people to cross.
Their only road overland into Kona
is via Hilo and Kohala and down
through the konas and the reverse
route must be followed by Kona peo-
pie who wish to get TO Kau or Hilo.
Persons who go from Honolulu with
the sole idea of getting view of the
flow should do so via the Mauna Loa
to Kailua or one of the ports further
along TO Kona and there taking a
team or horse.
The district is invaded with smoke
from the burning scrub bushes and
young ohias and the sulphur stencil is
strong for a distance of fifty miles.
Within five miles of the flow the
illumination is so great that lights are
not necessary and news print may be
read with as much ease as during the
day.
At no time has the flow been seen
from Kawaihae, only the reflections, so
that Pohakuhanalei-the Pohakuhana-
lei generally spoken offs not the
center of the present disturbance but
severely miles or more away. 1t is
conceded that the first flow was the
most brilliant of all but that may be
the case merely because the people are
firing of the grandeur. This last one
is active beyond all others and it looks |
as though it would continue for some
time. Excursion steamers are running /
from Hilo but the way for persons
TO get a genuine and wholesome idea
of the extent of the outbreak is to 60
by land and go up to it. The road
is good one to within very short
distance of the flow.

NONPAREIL STILL IN THE LEAD
The New Nonpaeril Company of
Council Bluffs. Iowa. is one of the
three biggest business institutions in
that city. The company employs an
average of one hundred people the
year round and the pay roll of the
concern exceeds that of any other
business concern in Council Bluffs.
Two regular editions Of the paper are
published daily. one in the morning
and one in the evening. and separate
stats are employed in the publication
of each edition. The establishment
of the evening edition on May l. 1906
involved the necessity Of employing
thirty additional people and increased
the pay roll of that concern SO 1-3 per
cent. For, the people of Council
Bluffs and western Iowa no paper
approaches The Daily Nonpareil in
interest and usefulness. With it's two
daily editions it can reach the peo-
pie of this vicinity quicker than any
other paper published. and The Nom
pareil has long ago established re-
putation for accurate and reliable
news. It is the ideal family news
paper Of the state of Iowa. paper
that no farmer can afford to be with
out.
