For Moving Pictures

Seattle, Sept 6.-In making the
moving picture film showing the vol
cano of Ki.auea in action, the artist,
Bonine, encountered many difficulties.
In the territorial exhibit of Hawaii
shown at the Ala ska Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, the big scenic feature of
the Hawaiian Is ands was necessarily
included. The noted moving picture
artist was engaged by the Govern
ment to secure a set of films show
ing the volcano just as it appeared
in action.
In doing this Mr.. Bonine had many
difficulties to overcome. The heat
near the crater Is always intense, ant
when the lava is flowing freely, a
close approach is nearly impossible.
In making the exposures. the camera
could not be kept In position for
longer time than one half minute.
The heat wo Id de '.roy the plate
or film and re Il er it useless. The
artist enveloLed himself in a cover
ing o. asbestos, and the camera was
DroLe tel by the same material. BY
4oing this, and by making only these
very short expos lres, Mr.. Bonine by
his great patience, secured a won
derful set of pietures, absolutely
correct in every de all.
In looking at them as they are run
through the moving picture machine
in the Hawaiian Building, the re
production of Ki auea in action is
seen pc fectly and beautifully. From
the bottom of the crater the great
streams of mo ten lava are seen, rush.
ing and surging above the huge
cauldron in which the Goddess Pele
makes her home; the steam and sui
phurous smoke blows and drifts in
clouds and one looks on the great
est demonstration nature can present
The picture requires twenty minutes
n presenting, and required many
weeks in making.
