| ing damage. The third is from a
point few hundred feet below it,
flowing a short distance toward the
'S7 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 Pobakuhana-
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 ease 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 genuine and wholesome idea |
of the extent of the outbreak is to go |
by land and go up to it. The road

THE VIEW alta DISTANCE
AND PROGRESS OF FLOW
(staff Correspondence

KILAUEA, Jan. 1T.-F'rom this point
fifty miles from the scene of activity
1 can see the glare from the flows
now gliding down the mountain to
ward the sea.
Rumors are numerous and mostly mis-
leading. From parties just returned
/ learn that none of the streams have
reached the sea but are within from
one to four miles and going slowly.
The government road at the first flow
is covered with new lava to the height
of telephone poll and for a quarter
of mile in width.
The exact source of the outbreak has
not been determined but the elevation
is estimated at seven thousand feet.
From the bottom may be seen a con-
tinuous outpouring of sulphur smoke
and further down the mountain the
boulders burst into thousands of pieces,
but not with loud report, and then
come rolling down until their force
is spent.
So far as 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 will prevent it
coming into the district. The original
of the present outbreak was from
point about where the 1877 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 infiet-

HISTORY OF RESTLESS
VOLCANOES PAST FLOWS

People generally have a great dread
for lava flow. When they hear of
an outbreak they are thankful they d9

of its lava flows covers only small
part of the surface. Again, all of tho
recent lava flows of Hawaii have flow

| rush of the first outbreak, moves slug
| gishly, giving one plenty of time to
get himself and his belongings out Of
it's way. There is great danger, how
ever. from a 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 1868 flow
| which overwhelmed the home of Cap
| tain Brown, he and his family barely
escaping with their lives. No lives
have ever been lost in a lava flow that
we know of. Yet, why this fear of
flows?
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 rev
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 fearful thing,
the approach of II being full of danger;
not so the other.
The 1855 flow was in the woods a
few miles back of Hilo. The captain
of an American warship in the harbor
asked to go along with party which
Father Coan was taking to the flow.
AS they approached the place 1t was
necessary to leave the path and cut
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
all In gloom. BY and by there was
an opening by the edge of gulch
where the lava could be seen falling
over a precipice. Someone called TO
the captain, who was far in the rear,
but he was nowhere to be found. He
had fled with his followers to Hilo. And
he left the harbor the next day with
his warship. Yet this same party spent
two or three days In this very spot,

PREDICTED SEISMIC
PHENOMENA IN 1907

Mr.. Scott. the English artist, recalls
lecture he heard some years ago
about the relation of sunspots to seis-
mic phenomena. The lecturer, a man
of scientific attainments, speaking OF
the numerous earthquakes and erup-
lions In 1896, pointed out the colnci-
dence of great solar disturbances then
and said that such conjunctions came
every eleven years. II warn you" he
said, "to look out for 1907. That is a
year when extraordinary seismic phe-
nomena are due"

have reached the sea, but perhaps they

"The lava flow started from about
the same place MS the 's7 one did and

"The whole district has turned out

10 miles from here, and at present
there must be at least 700 men and
women there.

1t is not like so many others--a flow

some mountain stream rushing fran

"The sound reminds you of the sea

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.
''The color of this mass of molten
matter as it passes you beggars de-

and in the night the sight is awe
inspiring. 1t is weird yet magnificent
CORY yet grand. There is fascina-
tion in the sight that rivets you 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
rest 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
are unable to utter sound.
"The strain soon leaves you and
you jump out of bed and see through
the open window the sky all aglow,
and realize that it is cold that you
are, and you grope your way to

is gurgle number two, for it is caused
by filtered water.'

spreading lava. The new outbreak is con-
tnuous. The source of the new flow is four
thousand feet below the summit, thence south
west to the sea- The original flow is sub

rushing like torrent, carrying ohla trees before

outbreak, one could read the time by the glare.
The activity at the source Of the new flow is
