Once past the danger point, we crawled along at our

walking. AS it was, We dared not halt for any lehg'h'

keep the blood circulating. All that night we cra"leo
over the terrible lava. We fell down at intervals VI
about twenty feet, often breaking through the olacK
crust, sometimes up to our waists, cutting ourselves on
the sharp projection until our hands and legs were
woefury lacerated. Almost as soon as we fell we
dropped asleep; then, as we got colder, we would wake
UP and force ourselves on again for a few dozen yards
or so. only to fall asleep, wake and struggle up once
more.
At last it began to get light, but still we had come
across no water, and that in our canteens had long

feet, looking for water, only to be disappointed again
and again.
Suddenly saw a break in the lava nearly full OF
beautiful water. I leaned over the side, holding the

HARTMAN, THE BUILDER.
Some Of the Great achievements on
the Roads He Controlled.

the 3tOaO0 lie SoAtEOAAous
E. II. Hartman was one of the
greatest railroad reconstructionists
this country has known. When he
took over the Union, Central and
Southern Pacific he foresaw that the
entire lines would have to be rebuilt.
He put his whole energy into the task
of expanding many millions of dollars
for that purpose; some say 10000
900. He Strengthened out crooks and
curves; tunneled mountains at their
bases, where the roads formerly went
over them; put steel viaducts and
bridges across r%avines and streams:
reduced grades, built excellent road
beds and placed on them the heaviest
steel rails.
Starting at the east enc Of the sys-
tenn, the new double structural steel
bridge across the Missouri river be-
tween Council Bluffs and Omaha is
considered one Of the finest railway
structures of its kind extant.
Greatest, perhaps. Of all the achieve
ments to which Mr.. Hartman devoted
his personal attention n effort is the
Lucin cut. off, crossing Great Salt lake.
This structure crosses the inland sea,
with an average depth Of thirty feet,
cutting out forty-four miles of the for
mer line around the lake and 1,515
feet Of elevation. or grade. There were
5000 men engaged day and night in
building 1t. 1t required 1926 trees,
from 100 to 200 feet high, to create the
piling of the trestlework, twenty-three
miles long. Eleven miles Of this trestle
were filled in with several big hills,
or small mountains. torn down by

ton, writes Frank Davey, by the most difficult route OF
albright over the great mountain from the hona sue,
The obstacles to be overcome may perhaps be imagined
when l state that Mauna Loa is a volcanic mountain
ucarly 1900 feet high.
It was with great difficulty that l managed to get
horses and mules from the natives, who knew the con
d ito of the country, for the animals inevitably get
hadls knocked about, their legs being terribly cut by
the lava. A number of gentlemen arrived and expressed
their desire to Join me in the expedition. The 1lrst part
of the journey was one of the most delightful rides l
ever had. We rode for hours through magnificent trop-
teal growtls. There were giant ferns, some OF which
must have been thirty or forty feet high and three feet
in diameter, groves of guavas, cOco-nuts and other
fruits, miles of wild mint and brightcolored fo"ers'
and orchids OF most delicate shapes. At dusk we
reached the edge Of the timber line, in a drenchlns
rain.
We resumed our journey at daybreak, over the most
terrible country that can be imagined. We reached the
summit just as it was getting dark. Near the center of
the mountain top an area Of about four square miles
sinks to a depth Of 1000 feet This is the great crater
of Makuaweoweo.
We found that the worst outbreak was about 5000
feet further down the mountain side. Walking across
the CONCEALED masses Of lava, one began to think that
at any moment one was liable to drop through to the
most horrible Of deaths. Underneath one was a bottom
less abyss of mud, sulphur and rock; and to contemplate
being cast into that fearsomelookins lake OF fire and
birthstone was not at all comfortable. Presently we
reached a cone where the lava had piled up to the
height of about 100 feet, then, bursting out at the slde'
disappeared into the ground, to reappear about a quar-
ter of a mile farther down and repeat Its action. These
cones averaged 200 feet in height, and we passed five
dead" ones. A sixth was still smoking, but was not
active, No. 7 was belching forth huge volumes
of steam and sulphur. Boulders that must have weighed
a ton were being hurled high into the air as If shot
from a cannon. Others followed to meet those coming
down, and as they met they burst like explosive shells,
scattering molten matter on all sides. This flowed
down the incline in cascades like water. showing red,
yellow. blue and all the. colors of the rainbow.
1t is impossible to describe the grandeur of the eff
feet. and a knowledge of the force that was causing the
disnlay made one feel very small indeed. Some of the
elected masses were as large as a horse. and when they
