The lofty volcanoes of the Hawaiian
Islands, rising above the ocean from
5000 to nearly 1900 feet. are only the
SUBMITS Of gigantic mountain misses
that rise abruptly from the bottom OF
the Pacific. Mauna Loa, on the island
of Hawaii, stands 1868 feet above
sea level, but its slopes descend be
meath the srl. as shown by deep sea
soundlngs, 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 other Islands.
and the depths attained by these con
tinuous slopes, within thirty TO fifty
miles Of the shores, vary from l4,OO0
to 10000 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 att
tude as Mount Everest. or approx
mately 10000 feet In general the
Hawaiian Island group consists of
SUBMITS of a gigantic submarine
mountain chain which projects only
it's loftier peaks and domes above the
water. On the island OF Hawaii the
volcanic forces arestill in operation.
The one continuously active volcanic
vent Of the island is Kilauea. far down
on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa-
1.-THE great mountain" No other vol
cano in the world approaches Mauna
Loa in the vastness of It's mass or In
the magnitude of It's eruptive activity.
There are many volcanic peaks higher
In the air, but most of them are plant
ed upon elevated platforms, where they
appear as mere cones of greater or less
size 1t Is not yet known at what level
the base Of Mauna Loa is situated, but
1t Is below the sea, probably far below.
Mauna Kea-"the white mountain"
is also a colossus among volcanoes.
Its summit. 1925 feet, is tritie high
er than that Of Mauna Loa, but its
slopes are sleeper. and its base Is there
fore much smaller The magnitude Of
Mauna Loa is due chiefly to the great
area Of its base, which Is nearly clip
teal in shape, with a major diameter
OF seventy-four miles and minor di-
ameter of fifty-three miles. measured
at sea level
In the aggregate of its eruptions
Mauna Loa Is also unrivaled. Some of
the volcanoes Of Iceland have been
known to disgWge at a single outbreak
masses of lava fully equal to those OF
Mauna Loa But such outbursts are
infrequent in Iceland, and century
has elapsed since any of such magni-
tude have occurred. though there have
been several minor eruptions. The
eruptlons Of Mauna Loa are all OF
great volume and occur irregulnrly, Mt
an average interval of about eight
years. In view of the total quantity
of material 1t has disgorged during the
last century no other volcano is at all
comparable to it.-From a Bulletin of
the United States Geological Survey.

is the roar OF the heavy wheels going

These are the stories that we hear
in childhood about the rainbow. Chill

stories
In Greece nurses tell the children
that II any one by chance stumbles
over the end Of the rainbow his or her
sex is changed. A fine story that to
tell a child The little Greeks must
run away from the ends of the rain
bow instead OF seeking them to find
our pot Of gold.

that II he can but touch the band of

While the most casual survey of the
heavens is-enough to show that the
stars are not evenly sprinkled upon it,
yet the arrangement of the stars is not
altogether lawless and chaotic. There
are traces of order and system, and
among these the milky way is the
dominant feature.
Telescope and Photographic plates
alike show that it is made up of stars
which, although quite irregularly scat
tered along it's course, are on the
average some 20 times as numerous in
the galaxy as at its poles, and which
thin out as we recede from it on either
side-at first rapidly and then more
slowly. This tendency to cluster along
the milky way is much more pro-
nounced among the very faint tel
escopic stars than among the brighter
ones. 1t is also remarkable, as show
ing the condensation of the brightest
stars, that one half of all the stars in
the sky which are brighter than the
second magnitude are included
within belt extending u degrees on
either side of the center line of the
galaxy.
In addition to this general conden-
sattiOn of stars toward the milky way
there are peculiarities in the distri-
button of certain classes OF stars which
are worth attention. Planetary
nebulae and new stars are seldom, if
ever, found from the milky way. And

Casting Metals.

AS Is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others.
like iron. can readily he cast In any
desired shape. The property of cast.
ing well Is said to depend upon wheth-
er the metal contracts or expands on
solidifying from the liquid form. Iron.
like water. expands in solidifylng. and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating In the liquid iron about 1t.
The expansion causes IL to fill the die
into which 1t is poured. and so 1t can
be cast easily. Gold and silver con
tract in cooling and therefore are not
suitable for casting. Exchange.

YES, SHE DID KNOW.
And Proved II TO Her Critical Old
Sinaina Master.


Many years ago. In an old French
church In Berne, a great choir under
the famous old leader, Father Reichel.
was having its final rehearsal for the
production OF the Messiah" The
chorus had triumphantly sung through
to the place where the soprano solo
takes up the refrain, II Know That
My Redeemer Llveth." The singer was
a beautiful woman, whose voice had
been faultlessly trained. AS the tones
came out high and clear the listeners
were filled with wonder at her per
feet technique Her breathing was
faultless, her note placing perfect, her
enunciation beyond criticism.
After the final note there was a
pause, and all eyes were turned toward
the old conductor to catch his look of
approval. Great was the surprise.
however, when a sharp rap OF the
baton was heard, as IA command for
the orchestra to pause, and with a look
OF sorrow Father Relchel said to the
singer, my daughter. you do not real
ly know that your Redeemer liveth,

from your heart. Tell it to me so l
and all who hear you will know and
know that you know the joy and pow
er Of It." Then with an imperiOus
gesture he motioned for the orchestra
to go over it again.
This time the young woman sang
with no thought Of herself or Of tech
nique and applause from her hearers.
She sang the truth that she knew In
her heart and experienced In her
life and that she wished to send
home to the hearts of the listeners. AS
the last notes died away there was no
wonder at the craftsman's work. but
there were quickened hearts that had
been moved by the glorious message
they had received. AS the singer stood
forgetful OF applause, the old master
stepped up and with tears in his eyes
kissed her on the forehead and said
''You do know, for you have told me-"

their grouping upon a map showing
nothing but clusters of this kind. On
the other hand, nebulae as class
show a distinct aversion for the ga
lazy and are found most abundantly
in those parts of the sky farthest from
it.
The dimensions of the stellar sys-
tenn are wholly unknown, but there
can DE no doubt that it has limit
and that it extends farther in the
plane of the milky way than at right
angles to that plane, for stars of the
fifteenth and sixteenth magnitudes
are common in the galaxy, and testify
by their feeble light to their great dis
lance from the earth, while near the
poles of the milky way there seem to
be few stars fainter than the twelfth
magnitude.
Each additional step into the depths
Of space brings us into a region OF
which less is known, and what lies be-
yond the milky way is largely mat
ter OF conjecture. We shrink from
thinking it an infinite void, endless
emptiness, and, though there is little
direct evidence that other stellar sys
TENS exist, our intellectual sympathies
go out to Lambert's speculation of q
universe filled with such systems, Of
which ours, bounded by the galaxy, il
