sAMoA's VOLCANOES.
An Island Terrerizsd by Six Years o.
lncessant ERUPTION.

The volcanic outbursts that for over
six Years have terrorized the island OF
Savaii in the Samoan group, have
ceased at last. These eruptions have
been almost incessant. and there is na
record OF any other volcanic center
that has been so violently active for
SO long a time.
All the terrific energy of the Mata
vanu volcano seems now to have been
expended. DR.. X. Sapper DIR. w Gre
vel and other students of volcanic
| phenomena express the opinion that
there probably will be no other erlip-
ton OF Matamanu for another century
and perhaps never.
The ground for their belief that the
volcanic energy has been entirely ex-
hausted Is that since the first month of
1911 there has been gradual and UNI
| interrupted decline of energy until
every trace of it finally disappeared
in October last.
In August last the lake of molten
lava was covered with a hard crust but
cracks in its surface revealed the rosy
hight OF the superheated matter below,
and through one or another volcanic
vent little smoke was still rising.
Three months later cold surface
covered everything. There was not
trace Of smoke. not sulphurous odor.
no sign of fluid lava, nothing except
little steam here and there.
SO this is the end. perhaps for gem
erations. of the remarkable phenomena
shat specialists have Travelled from
Europe TO study The trouble has
been that they have found little van
tage ground from which to pursue
their work. The ebuillitions have been
SO continuous that II has been imposs-
iole to witness the phenomena and
their results except at long range.
There was no volcano where these
eruptions beginning in August 1905,
were conferred All the many volcanoes
in the island had been quiescent for
ever century. Suddenly volcanic
vents we're opened on the floor of a
deep valley about eight miles from the
northeast coast of Savai. The whole
dlitN was Sbtu lliitu with laNd. Inc
cjecta built up a ridge of lava. about
1000 feet thick. where the valley had
been and above the ridge arose a
mountain of outpourings. 1000 feet
high, 10 which the name of Mata-
vanu was given. over thirty square
miles of the island were finally COW
cred to various depths with the fluid
lava. destroying many native housesl
with their areas of cultivation.
1t has been estimated that at times
the outpouring of lava from the center
Of eruption amounted to from 1000 to
1000 tons a minute. The coral reef
about five miles from the shore. is thel
outer boundary of the lagoon between
the coast and the reef. This lagoon
has been entirely filled with lava for a
distance of about five miles along the

world forget the personality OF the
