for better or worse, and not depending
too much on reports of activity.
The area of the present portion of
Halemaumau, in.actual motion, is vari-
ously estimated at from fifteen to TWEEN
ty acres in extent. [ doubt, however,
if this means much to the majority of
people, as the majority are not aecus-
toned to dealing in areas. Let us then
take, for illustration, some well known
tract, such as Thomas Square, which Is
familiar to the public, and contains I
should say on a guess, somewhere be-
tween six and seven acres, therefore it
can probably be truthfully said that
there is at present writing space from
two and half to three times the size
of Thomas Square that is one molten
mass, which in its different parts is
either boiling, spouting or flowing.

the table is good, and Demosthenes and
his assistants are polite and obliging.

Volcano House, September 80, 1908.
Editor Advertiser: Ny first visit to
the volcano was in 1868, short time
after the activities of that year, so
that L did not then see the crater at
its best and do not know how large
an area was in activity during that
eruption. I have visited the volcano
at intervals since 1868, and can say
that in my own experience, I have
never seen so large an area of molten
lava in motion as at present.
With James Castle and Mr.. Wester-
welt I have visited the crater, viewing
it both by day and night. 1 will not
attempt to describe it for I should only
repeat what has already so fully ap-
peared in print, and any description
would fall short of the mark if the in
tention were TO convey an idea Of
Pele's grandeur to people who had new
eF seen for themselves.
It came over me very strongly while
on the edge of Halemaumau, that could
Honolulu people, in general, form any
idea of what the exhibition really is,
there would be many more who would
avail themselves of the opportunity
which the present activity affords. Of

The greatest drawback to the hog

Hog cholera is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off great number of hogs in
a very short time.

. friend welcomed us with the beauti-
full but rather embarrassing Hawaiian
custom Of throwing long wreaths
about our necks. These are made of
carnations, camelias or jasmine, with
glossy, green leaves. Women, who
make them, sit along the streets in
Honolulu with baskets of flowers and
completed wreaths beside them; their
fingers busily engaged in weaving
others. So universal is this custom
of wearing these flowery adornments
that every native one meets has neck
and hat decorated with a fresh,
dewy wreath. Time was, no doubt
when these were all of their adorn-
ing, but civilization has decreed a few
additions to such an airy, though, no
doubt, picturesque costume.
Our doubts as to the best method
Of seeing the sights were settled for
us by our friend, who had an automo-
bile waiting for us on the dock The
driver told us of his first trip in the
machine through the outlying coun-
try. He came upon Chinese coolie
who had never seen anything of the
kind before, and stood rooted with
horror to the road until the driver
footed the horn. Then the Chinaman
fled frantically to the fence, over
which he plunged, shrieking, Heap
devil! heap devil!" When the driver
had finished telling US of his first ex-
perience I told him of mine-not in

dience was, "Pete" answered, II could

From politics to Pali-a marvellous

delicate pink or blue-or family

beautiful somber purple, and fish Of
white with black horizontal stripes,
looking like company of convicts
from Sing Sing. There are many
many others, those with trailing
fringes, or floating wings; those with
eyes on little pivots that turn easily
in all directions like small, coming
towers; all odd or unusual, seeming
like dream-fshes, or the phantoms of
a disordered brain, rather than prod
ucts of nature.

architecture of the Hawaiian Ian

Sunday School Lessons for the World.
A power greater than that of kings
seems to have been welded by the
little group of thoughtful men who
gathered at the Fenway residence Of
w. N. Hartshorn to select the les-
sons for the Sunday schools of the
world, says the Boston Herald Every
year they gather to make this choice,
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to tho
printers and by them literally scat
tered over the planet. The word thus
goes forth not in one but in scores
of languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south, get these
helps to religious study in the vernac-
ular. There is supply for Hawaii,
Japan and the islands of the sea. For
India alone 40 dialects have to be pro-
vided for. Some 500,000,000 Sunday
school leaflets are thus distributed
every year.

got the biggest krater at the top of it
you ever saw or heard of-20 miles in
circumference, and 1000 feet deep.
It's stone dead-entirely gone out of
business; but in my opinion that's an
advantage of two-to-one on any live
crater. If you want to go up another
mountain, try Kilanea-it's only an
other K, and the avenue that leads
out to it is a magnificent boulevard
set out on either side with bread-fruit
trees, mangoes and alligator pears.
Kilanea is the biggest thing in the
live crater business in the world-a
lake of fire 1900 feet long and 500
wide, with surface measure of IL
acres. You hold your breath and say
your prayers; and, when gust of
wind carries away the binding steam
and smoke, you look down, down 500
feet into veritable hell-fire lake,
whose waves Of flame rise and fall in
convulsive throes that shake the very
heart out Of your body-in other
words, the thing has fits to beat the
band, and you wish you hadn't come!
But you get all over it by the next
day, and If you want to calm your
mind and restore your nerves, you
take nice, quiet stroll down Kukui
place and kommune with nature.

oughtn't to, and get arrested and ta-
