the sulphur banks. The outlines of the
later breakdown seem TO have been de
termined by the earlier one, and a more
minute study would show signs of the
boundaries of the 1856 and 1894 lakes
and the present Halemaumau. The
areas of the 1910 and 1868 pits have
very nearly the same cubic dimensions
+. The landslide coincided with the
elimination of the earthquake on April
,. For a distance of three miles mass
of earth. moistened by springs, from
half of one to two miles wide, and with
a maximum thickness Of thirty feet, was
dislodged by the shock and swept down
the hillside. 1t carried with il trees,
animals and men. Thirty-one lives were
lost, and between five hundred and one
thousand head Of cattle, horses, goats
and sheep, the part owned by one per
son being estimated of the value Of
$4,000. The earth was red, much like
lava in color, and at first some thought
it was a volcanic discharge.
D. Also coincident with the culminat
ing shock was an earthquake wave,
washing the shore from Hilo to the
South Cape, being the most destructive
at keauhOu, Punaluu and Honuapo,
One hundred and eight houses were car
red away and forty-six lives lost. At
Hilo the sea receded more than one
hundred feet, and the wave was ten
feet high Wre:kage was carried in
land eight hundred feet at Keauhou.
The walls of stone buildings were
thrown seward by the shock, followed
by the collapse of the roof. A stone
church and other buildings were de-
stroyed at Punaluu. At Kaalualu
wreckage was carried inland eight hun
dred feet, and the wave rose to the
height of twenty-five feet. Not house
was left at Honuapo.
6. The earthquakes clearly belonged
to the class denominated volcanic,
rather than tectonic. They were d.
rectly concerned with eruptions, where
as the teetonic class are produced by
the displacement of huge blocks of
rock, and that in regions remote from
volcanoes in California. The latter are
known to have passed through the Ha'
waiian Islands chiefly as recorded by
delicate instruments, and never at all
violent. From destructive tectonic
quakes Hawaii is immune.
The quaking is evidently produced
by the passage of igneous lava beneath
the surface, which endeavors to escape
from Imprisonment. As the containing

distance; the second continues the split;
likewise the additional strokes, till the
log has been split through. SO this
vent commenced in prehistoric times
and has been extended up the mountain
through the pressure exerted by the
later eruptions. The land on the east
side of the assure has been elevated in
connection with the fracturing, thus
forming a pail. There is no cinder
cone at the head of the fssure, as is
the case with the sources of the flows
of 1855, 1880, etc, high up the noun
tain.
Three things are worth of note in
connection with this flow: First, it com
menced several days later than the
Kilauean activity; second, the shocks
were comparatively weak; third, the
lava gushed out from long assure with
great force and rapidity, instead of
oozing slowly through small orifce.
Just before the eruption a shower of
ashes and pumice covered the region for
many square miles. These must not be

similar materials scattered from near
kilauea to the South Cape and thrown
out in prehistoric times. Many of them
have yellow color and constitute the
basis for the rich soils of the sugar
plantations.
General Conclusion.
With the fact established of the dis
charge of lava on April , on the lower
road in kau, we can understand the
close association with it of the earth
quakes, the formation of assures, the
landslide and the sea wave. All the
energy thus displayed had its origin in
Kiauea, leaving to Mauna Loa the Wig
orous action of April at Kahuku. The
nearness in time Of the discharges from
the two volcanoes suggests a sympathy
between them. Both started from the
same source. When the pressure is the
greatest, the lava flows from both vol
canoes; when less, the igneous mani
festation may be confined to either one
of the calderas. In 1868 the force mani
tested was the greatest ever known in
the whole history Of the Island.

5000 feet wide at the north end and
5000 at the south. This is about the
same with the discharge of 1870 There
has been no flow since 1868 of sufficient
consequence to find its way to the sur
face above the sea level. The flow of
1894 was the next to this in size but
no one has discovered where it went
most probably below the sea level.
Two illustrations are presented to
show the breakdowns in 1910 and 1868.
The first (A) is based upon the OBJ
servations of Admiral Wilkes, as cor
rected many years later by Professor
Dana, and drawn by +. S. Dodge for
the government survey. The black
ledge was $50 feet below Uwekahuna,
the highest point upon the west side;
another lower pit was $40 feet deeper.
The whole area of the pit was a liquid
mass, with waves insinuating them
selves into the walls and thus detacb
ing great masses of rock. The fire was
first noticeable May 80 Three days

later, after an underground passage of
twenty-seven miles from Kilauea, the
vent appeared eleven miles from the
sea and 1914 feet above tide water.
For three weeks the fiery torrent poured
over cliff at Nanawale into the sea.

earthquakes in connection with this

dust will all fright where she has work

cleaning you gather up little OF the dust

no longer the case since the modern cleo

dust and dirt and stores it in a receptacle
until you are ready to dispose OF it. This
makes house cleaning a pleasure instead

LADIES TAKE
THESE A WAY

Each season finds some new added
luxury or necessity for ladies to take with
them to Europe, the mountains. seashore
or springs. The most popular necessity
of this season is small electric sadiron.
Every lady needs this for ironing dainty
bits of linens and lace and other things.
Every home and hotel except those in
remote country districts is equipped with
electricity. You simply attach the cord
to the iron to the lighting socket in your
room and go ahead and iron as much as
you please. For information or advice
on this subject, call Madison 340o, Light
and Power Department, Va. Ry. and
