HARVARD EXPLAINS POSITION.
unwise to Play Team Like Michigan
 in Mid Season.

Michigan will not play Harvard next fall accordi 1g to an official announce ment by the Wolverine authorities. Professor Whitney, chairman of the board in control of athletics, gave out the following statement in explana- ton:
 "On Saturday, December F, Athletic Director Bartelme received a telegram from Mir Moore the graduate treas urer of the Harvard University Ath- letic association to the effect that ap- parently there is no possibility of a western trip by the Harvard football team this year or next. and that their coaches thought that because of green material next fall a mid season game with a team so powerful physically as Michigan would be unwise. In reply to any inquiry by telegram as to whether the decision of the Harvard authorities was final, MT. Moore re- piled in the affirmative
 Michigan athletic authorities played this years game with absolutely no arrangements as to the future, but they were given to understand that another contest was certain, and also led to believe that a western trip by the Crimson was not an impossibility in the future.
 Michigan played Harvard last fall with the weakest team which has ever

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET PRICES FLucTuArED.
Affected by Freight Rate Decision of
 Interstate Commerce Commission.

New York, Dec. 1S-Prior to the am nouncement made shortly before mid day that the Interstate Commerce commission har granted a restricted five percent freight rate advance to the eastern railroads, the stock mark strongly suggested liquidation. In the brief period between the opening of the market and the publication of a summary of the decision prices crumbled 2 to 8 points and were four to six points under the high level reached on Tuesday, when open trad ing in the entire list was reestablish= ed.
 Some large amounts Of call money wer points of the minimum prices and seasoned issues were declining for lack of support. What made the fact that it took very little stock to effect the declines. The average transaction at that time was in 100 and 200 shares, with losses between sales extending to halg a point or more.
 Although early advices respecting the decision were somewhat mislead- ing they were of q tenor to indicate that many of the more important de- mands of the railroads had been granted. Tins was sufficient to pre- cipftate a nasty covering movement Dy LH6 DedTS ana 1IlQuc6Q some long buying, which not only obliterated all early losses, but restored the average of prices well above the previous day Realizing in the final hour caused an- other shading of values, with few net changes at the end.
 By students of the railway situation, the decision of the Interstate Com merce commission was regarded as victory for the roads, although its inn portance nu1hfied in large part, it was said, by the failure to include coal, coke and iron ore in the list of com modities entitled to higher rates. Most of the eastern railroads derive a large part of their tonnage from these pro- ducts, in some cases the percentage running up almost to 70 percent.
 This money was easier, the rate for all dates being reduced to percent. some large amount of call money were placed at 3 percent. The local federal reserve bank followed the lead of sim liar institutions elsewhere by lower- ing its discount rates.

voLcANoEs oE HAWAI-.
Some Reach to the Height of 30,ooo
 Feet-Quietness of Eruptions.


 The Ioyfty volcanoes of the Ha- waiian Island, rising above the ocean from 5000 to nearly 14,O00 feet, are only the summits of gigantic noun tain masses that rise abruptly from the bottom of the Pacific. Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii, stands 13,675 feet above sea level, according to the United States Geological Sur vey, but it's slopes descend beneath the sea. as shown by deep-sea sound ings, with a grade fully equal to if not greater than that of the visible slopes. The same is generally true of the submarine slopes of the other islands, and the depths attained by these continuous slopes, within 30 to 50 miles of the shores, vary from 14.oOO to 19,0OO feet. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, if their true bases are considered to be at the bottom of the Pacific. are therefore mountains of as great an altitude as Mount Everest, or approximately 30,000 feet In gen. eraI Hawaiian Island group consists of summits of gigantic submarine mountain chain which projects only it's loftier peaks and domes above the water. On the island of Hawaii the volcanic forces are still in operation
 The one continuously active vol canic vent of the island is Kilauea, far down on the eastern flank of Maunas Loa-"the great mountain" No other volcano in the world ap-
 
 of its mass or in the magnitude of its eruptive peaks higher in the air, but most of them are planted upon ele- vated platforms, where they appear as mere cones of greater or less size. It is not yet known at what level the base of AIauna Loa is situated but 1t lis below the sea-probably far be- low.
 A Volcano 70 Miles in DfaHeter
 Mauna Kea@'the white mountain -is also a colossus among volcanoes, Its summit-13, ,S25 feet-is a trihe higher than that of Afauna Loa, but its slopes are sleeper and its base is therefore much smaller. The magni- tude of Mauna Loa is due chiefly to the great area of its base, which is nearly eiliptical in shape, with a major diameter of "A miles and a minor di- ameter of B miles, measured at sea level.
 In the aggregate Of its eruptions 8fauna Loa is also tlnrivaIed. Some of the volcanoes of Iceland have been known to disgorge at single out break masses of lava fully equal to those of Mauna Loa. But such out bursts arc infrequent in Iceland, and a century has elapsed since any of such magnitude have occurred. though there have been several minor erup- tions. The eruptions of Mauna Loa Tre sal1:ot gEsSt sgDlgus -gn6 oecuz ir-,

regularly, at an average interval of about eight years. In view of the to- tai quantity of material it has dis gorged during the last century, no other volcano is at all comparable to it.
 Violent Eruptions Viewed with Safety.
 Mauna Loa and Kilauea are in many respects abnormal volcanoes. The most notable feature is the singu- lar quietness of their eruption. Rare ly are these events attended by any of that extremely explosive action which is characteristic of nearly all other volcanoes. Only once or twice within the historic period have they been accompanied by earthquakes or subterranean rumblings. The vast jets of steam blown miles high. hurl- ing stones. cinders, and Iapilli far and wide, filling the heavens with Vapor and smoke, and hailing down ashes and fragments over the surrounding regions. have never been observed here. Some action of this sort is in deed represented but only in a feeble way. The lava weels forth like water from hot, bubbling spring, but so mild are the explosive forces that the observer may stand to the windwarG of the grandest eruption, so near the source that the heat will make his face jingle. yet without danger Or dinarily the outbreak takes place without warning and without the knowledge of the inhabitants, who first become aware of it rat nightfalI, when the sky is agIow and the fiery fountains are seen playing. As the news spreads. hundreds of people flock to witness the sublime spectacle, displaying almost as mucheagerness to approach the scene of an eruption as the people of other countries show to get away from one
