VOLCANOES OF HAWAII.

The entire group of Hawaiian Is
lands, twenty in number, extending in
chain for hundreds of miles, is of
volcanic origin, tho some of the islets
and reefs are but the wave-battered
remnants of volcanoes whose fires died
out long ago. The island of Hawaii
has been formed by the coalescence
of many recently formed volcanoes.
The walls of the crater of the active
volcano of Kilauea, on this island, are
broken down on one side, giving ac-
cess to it's "lake of fire." This vol
cano has not always been gentle in
it's ways, but it is now so well be-
haved that the visitor can stand safely
on the edge of its fiery pit and, if the
volcano is active, watch the molten
feet below. Sometimes many foun-
tains throw up jets of glowing sui
phurous lava and light up with ghast-
ly glare the frowning crags that rim
the crater. Then, suddenly and with
deafening detonations, the jets rush
together and convert the lake into
burning, seething, roaring mass, max
ing scene to which few others in the
world are comparable.
Mauna Loa, on the island of Ha-
waii, and a neighboring volcanic cone,
Mauna Kea, both nearly $4,000 feet
above the sea, are among the highest
island mountains in the world. On
the other islands of the Hawaiian
group there are volcanic mountains
scarcely less interesting. The crater
of Haleakala, in the summit of East
Maui, 10000 feet above sea level, is
one of the largest extinct craters in
the world and is as well preserved
as if it's fires had been extinguished
but few years, instead of perhaps
several hundred years ago.
The active volcanoes of Hawaii give
a wonderful demonstration of the pro-
cesses by which all these island noun
tains have been built up from the
great depths of the ocean. Since the
days of Captain Cook, biologists and
others who are interested in the prob
lens of volcanoes have visited the
Hawaiian Islands and written about
them.
Near the base of these mountains
of igneous rock lie fields of sugar
cane, which are just now Of special
interest. They are supplied with
water from mountain streams and
from wells and drainage tunnels that
tap underground supplies. The geo.
logical survey, in cooperation with
the territory of Hawaii, has for sew
eral years been studying the water
resources of the islands with view
to increasing the amount of water
available for use in irrigation, and
therefore in the output Of sugar and
other crops.

GOING THE LIMIT!
By FRANK f. WOLFE,
OF the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy.

With the kingdom of Prussia spread
over Middle Europe, over Belgium,
France, England and the United
States-for the United States was
the next step in the ambitions plans
of the German lords-the world would
have come under the domination of
the most absolute monarchy ever
dreamed.
When a subject of the kaiser enters
a suit in the United States he does it
in the name of the kaiser and the legal
representative of the "most high" pc
titions that "the plaintiff states that
he is absolute monarch of the kingdom
of Prussia, and as king thereof is the
sole government of the country; that
he is unrestrained by any constitu-
tion or law, and that his will, ex-
pressed in due form, is the only law
of that country, and is the only legal
power there known to exist as law"
The Socialist who mutters that he
would as soon be under the domination
of German capitalism as under Amer
ican capitalists may well ponder this.
The doctrine that workers can have
no interest in any country or any flag
has been spread with great persist.
ence by the syndicalist-anarchis and
they have wrecked the Socialist party.
American workers have shown dur
ing the past year and half that they
have every interest in the liberty en-
joyed in their country and they have
pledged themselves to go the limit.

to win this war and free the people
of the world from the menace of dom

1t seems very strange to be ar

Nearly seventy years have passed

day, or something like that, in the
Welsh coal mines.
Women harnessed like cattle drag
ged from the mines great baskets
of coal. There was a board in the
center of the runway with cleats
nailed upon it. Bent far over, their
heads almost to the ground, the wom-
en- braced their feet against these
cleats and tugged at their loads.
Most of them were unsexed by their
toll. Nature mercifully made them
incapable of bearing children. The
rest, if they had offspring, brought
forth idiots.
Serve Like Cattle.
The little children that worked in
the mines were so injured or brutal
lied that they grew up either crimi-
mails or strange types of imbeciles.
Society had to pay for all this, and
pay appalling costs. 1t is paying for
them still.
Yet when it was proposed to do no
more than to mitigate some of its
worst features, mine owners violently
protested and said they would be
ruined.
In this case of the Welsh coal mines
the government determined to risk the

After a time observers were aston

that it took mankind so long to
recognize the fact.

In these days, to stand all day turn

YEAR FOR ARMY
SWEET STUFF HELPS TO
WHIP THE KAISER.
237 Pounds Per Day Consumed by
Each 1000 Soldiers at Their Meals;
Tomatoes Prime FavOrite With
the American Boys in France.

Since the government has been ham
ding the purchase of sugar, thru the
United States food administration
(September 1, 1917), approximately
200, 100000 pounds have been used by
the army. This amount is exclusive
of the depots and camps on the west
ern coast, which have been using raw
sugar from Manila, having it refined
in the West. A conservative statement
of the amount of sugar procured on
the Pacific coast is about 25,000,0
pounds, making the total purchase for
found that about 237 pounds of sugar
are consumed by 1000 men at their
meals in one day.
Statistics by an Officer.
These figures on sugar consumption
were so tempting to a statistical-lov-
ing officer in the subsistence division
of the quartermaster, corps that he
evolved from them the following facts !:
From September /, 1917, to June
30, 1918, period of eight months, the
amount of sugar furnished thru the
allotment branch was so great that
the sacks properly placed would make
a solid wall four feet wide and five
feet high from Baltimore, Md, to
Washington, D. C. 1t would require
3,345 sixty-foot box cars to carry this
amount of sugar, and would take six
men working eight hours each day in
the year for five years to unload it
from the cars. 1t required one square
mile of sacking to sack this amount of
sugar.
Some Figures About Tomatoes.
This statistician was also attracted
by the figures regarding the purchase
of canned tomatoes. From these fig
ures he elected the interesting infor-
nation that the purchase by the army
from the 1917 pack of tomatoes was
so large that if the cans were to be
placed end to end the line would ex-
tend from the army on the Marne to
Linda Vista, Cal. They would strecth
from Seattle to New York City and
back to San Francisco, thence to New
Orleans, extending across the conti-
nent two and one half times. If piled
up, they would make three monuments
the size of the Washington monument.
Approximately 75,000,000 cans of
tomatoes were purchased by the quar-
termaster corps from the 1917 pack.

By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL

l hear and read the outgivings of
many eminent minds about an eight
hour day, and they all seem to pro-
ceed upon the theory that eight hours
for days work is a recent inven-
ton, leap in the dark, daring ex-
pertinent, and nobody knows what may
come of it.
AS a matter of fact, it is so old it
makes Bunker Hill monument look
like thing of yesterday 1t existed
before the ten-hour day, the twelve
hour day or the fourteen-hour day.
-Four hundred years ago among our
forefathers an eight-hour working day
was the rule and standard.
If there had been no change in the
way we produced things, eight hours
would probably be the standard today,
and anybody that wanted to lengthen
it would be looked upon as a dema-
gogue and revolutionist.
Times Changes Seen.
1t was only because we had an enor-
nous increase in the pressure for
production, particularly since the in
PRODUCTION of factories and steam, that
the working day was heightened until
life came to mean for the workers
nothing but toll and sleep.
In modern times the increase of
labor-saving machinery should have
Offset all that. The average factory
hand or transportation worker now is
200 or 300 times as efficient as the
average worker of seventy-five years
ago, but he is no better off. The
huge increase in his output has not
shortened his hours.
This is plainly wrong. 1t is rotten
ly and intolerably wrong. 1t is dan
gerously wrong for the community
The eight-hour movement seeks to set
it right.
The eight-hour idea means some
thing to the worker, but lot more

A gas mask, which enables the Ger man soldiers to withstand the effects of their terrible gas attacks, should the wind suddenly change course, has been sent to Mrs. w. A. Reyburn of 633 Beech street by her son, Donald, who is a member of the United States engineers, and is now on exhibition in the Main street window of the Isaac Dreyfus company.
 The gas mask was taken from the body of dead German soldier of the Somme battlefield, and his belt, the buckle of which contains the words "Gott Nit Uns," was also removed from his body and sent back as a sou venir.
 A German hand grenade, which fail ed to explode, was also sent back by young Reyburn, and the collection is attracting much attention, as it shows the remarkable progress made in methods of warfare.
 Young Reyburn enlisted in the United States engineers some time ago. and has been in France for sev- eral months. He has written a num- Der of very interesting letters to his parents here, but the gas mask, belt and hand grenade are the first souve- nirs received by local people from the French battle front.
