1t is a known fact that pear
orchard brings larger returns than
an apple orchard. Pears do not
flourish everywhere and in low al
titudes the trees are subject to
blight. In this altitude blight Is
not a serious handicap. Pear trees
car be planted much closer togeth-
err than other fruit trees on ac-
count OF their tendency toward
growing upward instead of spread
ing out. About $50 trees to the
acre. Pears will return $500 to
1000 per acre of good varieties.

Brilliant Display From Ancient

Wireless to The Advertiser.1

HlLO, july l3.-The most brilliant
display of FIRE seen at the Kilauea vol.
cano for thirty years is being witnessed
by hundreds of persons. The intense
illumination first appeared very bright
yesterday evening and all day TODAY
hundreds of lava fountains have been
spouting flames which made the entire
scene most awe-inspiring one.
he brilliant scene at night when the
entire district is Redeemed by the glare
OF the fire from the old volcano is one
which will never be forgotten bv the
hundreds of visitors and residents ON
this island.
Persons living here could easily see
the glow from the volcano this morning
and hundreds FASTENED for the scene.
More than five hundred fountains are
now active and the whole lake is re-
ported to be mass of FIRE.
The lava lake of Halemaumau is
showing unusual activity and hundreds
OF fountains are now in action. The
remarkable activity of the lava lake
Is told in the regular letter written to
The Advertiser by F. B. Dodge. His
letter follows:
TECHNOLOGY STATION, Kilauea.
July 1.-THE lava lake of Halemau-
mau has reached an elevation of 1876
feet below the rim of the pit and for
the lest week it has been more active
and higher than at any time since the
high rise in December and January last.
Its chief characteristics are, for the
last nine days, its steady rise of fifty
one feet, its greatly increased current
running from six to eight miles an
hour; the minimum volume of smoke,
the hundreds of small fountains and
numerous large, shifting ones which
cover the entire surface of the lake;
and the heat which is so intense as to
be nearly unbearable standing at the
| edge of the crater.
The following are the daily levels of
the lava below the rest houses:
The Hawaiian gazette., 1912-07-16

On July the lake was very high
and continuously OVERLOOKING. covering
the whole floor of the pit The entire
surface of the lava was mass of boil
ing fountains, the most activity being
along the edges where large shifting
fountains played. There was very
strong easterly current.
On July the lake was the same.
except that. it had grown more active
in every way. July Z and saw very
little change in the lake, except that
ON the Sth the lava was even more
active and overlooked all day, the cur
rent shifting at intervals. On July 9
the lava reached its highest point. 1t
displayed an extra swift north current
rising along the south walls, sinking
both at the east and west and along
the north banks. The surface was COW
cred with more and larger fountains.
The swiftest current was recorded on
this date.
The lava dropped FIVE feet on July
10. The current began rising in the.
south and northwest corners, flowing
toward and sinking at south cove and
the midle of the north side. Otherwise
in activity it was the same as the pre-
ceding day. On July II the lava rose
four feet, with the current rising in the
south and flowing north. There were
no other changes. At the present time
the lake measures 500 feet long by 1926
feet wide.
For the past day or two the activity
in Halemaumau, while possibly not un-
precedented, is distinctly unusual in re-
gard to the number and persistence of
its fountains, and the rapid flowing of
its currents, In this period there has
been very little scum over the whole
surface of the lake.
Very respectfully,
F. B. DODGE.
