GREAT LAVA FOUNTAINS
ARE INCREASING DAIIV

Next Saturday at four o'clock in
the afternoon the Inter-Island steam
ship company will send out another
popular excursion to the volcano by
the Mauna Kea, returning to town
early Tuesday morning. New Years
eve will be spent beside the greatest
active volcano in the world and there
will be lava fountains enough to send
out the old year with something bet
ter than a blare of trumpets. The
dashing and subsequent explosion of
the many fountains create greater dis
turbance than a hundred trombones
in action.
Each report from the crater tells
of increased activity. The frame cot
tage in which Prof. Perret lived dur.
ing the time he was making scientific
observations has been burned by the
intense heat. The cable from which
he suspended the kettle when gather
ing molten lava has been melted by
the same force and in spite of all this
the crater is the safest place in the
world to visit and the only one where
visitors may look into the lava lake
and not be Inconvenience. Manager
Kennedy of the Inter-Island believes
the lava will soon be on a level with
the floor of Kilauea and he will not be
surprised if that condition exists by
the time the Saturday party arrives
there
The price for the trip has been
fixed at twenty-five dollars. This will
include all expenses from the time
the boat leaves the wharf here until
lt returns early Tuesday morning. It
Will be great trip and the fortunate
ones will be those who go to the Of
flee of the company on Queen street
and secure tickets before the best
berths are gone. The crater has not
been so active in many years and
there is every indication of the ac-
uvity continuing. Never has there
been so many fountains rising at one
time and never has the lava gone SO
nigh in the air and at such short in
teryals as at present.
