VOLCANO ON SAVAII
HAS RUINED ISLE
NEW CRATERS EMIT BIGGER
FIRES AND MORE LAVA AND
NATIVES HAVE FLED.

SAN FRANCISCO Dec G.-Larger
and more violent than ever, the vol
cano on the Island of Savaii, in the
Samoan group, is still in eruption. A
description of the hill of fire and its
ravages is given by Captain d. S. Par
ker, an American resident of Apia
who has arrived here from Honolulu.
TO get here, Captain Parker went from
Apia to Fiji, where he boarded a Van
couver liner for Honolulu, transfer
ring there for this city.
Savaii volcano is now regarded as a
permanent feature of the Samoan
group. 1t was at first believed to be
only a temporary breaking out of the
subterranean fires when it first ap-
peared two or three years ago. but the
immense fires have broken out new
craters on the cone, and the gigantic
streams of lava have widened and
thicllened, until the greater part Of
the erstwhile fruitful and inhabited
isle of Savaii has been ruined and the
natives have reluctantly abandoned
their home places and gone to other
islands of the group.
"Savaii volcano, or rattle" ITS smoke
and flame, can be seen thirty miles
away at night the picture in the still
and clear atmosphere of that latitude
being magnificent beyond description, 81
says Captain Parker. "On nearer APP
proach not only may the fire anC
smoke pillars be observed standing out
against the blue sky, but some miles
to the southwark of the fire mountain
a huge cloud of vapor continually
hangs over the sea where the stream
of lava has crept and filled up and
stretched out until now there is a wal
of light-colored material extending
straight out into the sea half a mile
looking like a big man-made break,

clouds and is kept alive by the never.

use of oxygen. At the final hour one
of the automobiles from Merriyale was
sent into NOrthport. six miles away,
to secure a supply, and the trip there
and back was made in twelve minutes,
but Mr. Havemeyer was already be-
yond aid. He died surrounded by most
Of the members of his family.
Mr. Havemeyer's illness dated from
Thanksgiving Day, when, after a
hearty meal with his family. he start
ed for a tramp over the Merrivale es-
tate with his son Horace in search Of
English pheasants One Of the game
birds gave him hard chase and he
was compelled to run a considerable
distance before bringing it down That
night he collapsed from the eXeTtiOn,
and the next day his illness became
alarming.

We areonly old once. There
fore, we should travel towards
old age by the right ronte, so
that when we reach old age we
will be prepared to live comfort
ably and happily.
1t is a good plan to save
something as we go along in life.
The time to save is while we are
earning. Savesomething during
your working days. You will
want an income to live on when
your powers are on the decline.
The average man has great
many years in which he earns
more than he should spend. If
you will lay aside a little each
year, you will soon have a con-
siderable sum saved.
Keep your savings in the
bank.

world. Money always on hand
