HAWAIIANS ON
FLIGHT TO SEA
Great Mountain of Mauna
LOa Pours Out Stream of
Lava Mile Wide.
MANY HOMES ENGULFED
Rich Forests of Hardwood Are
Destroyed by Swiftly Nov
ing Flood.
By ne Associated Pr.,,.

HONOLULU, T. IT., Sept. 30.-Mount
Mauna Loa, on Hilo Island, burst into
new eruption last night and a wide
stream of lava began pouring down the
Kona side, destroying many homes and
koa wood forests The residents of
the Kona side are reported fleeing to
the sea, which is thirty miles distant
The flow apparently is q mile wide
and is moving rapidly. 1t probably will
reach the ocean, thirty miles from the
volcano, to-day.
The scientific party headed by Prof.
Thomas A. Jaggar. Jr., director Of the
Kilauea Observatory and former head
of the department of geology of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
with five days supplies, has gone on a
tour OF investigation of the eruption.
The koa wood is a valuable hardwood
similar to mahogany and is used in fin
ishing.
The mountain. which is $4,000 feet
high, first became active three days ago,
when smoke and gases came from the
crater. During the last two days the
eruption had been subsiding until late
last night, when the lava began pouring
down the side. During an eruption in
May, 1916, cloud of steam and smoke
was sent 10000 feet into the air when
the peak burst into eruption. MRuna
Loa's crater is 10000 feet across.

CHINESE IN NEED
OF SPINNING MILLS
Present Rate of Supply To-
tally Inadequate.

At the present rate OF supply It will
take ten years for the manufacturers OF
England and America to supply China
with the necessary number of new spin
dlessto turn out a sufficient quantity OF
fine cotton threads (yarn) to meet the
present demand If the Japanese goods is
not to be used in any form.
This is the opinion of Chang CHEN, one
Of China's foremost cotton mill owners,
formerly Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce. This reveals what an enter
prising foreign firm may do at this time
of industrial boom in China by supply
ing the necessary machinery.
Mr.. Changes estimate, however, does
not include the machines required to pro-
duce fine threads for the manufacture OF
socks and underwear. A perusal of the
report of the investigation committee OF
the Cloth Merchants Guild of Wusih will
reveal the serious nature of the shortage
The report says that there are two Chi
nese mills in Shanghai. Hung Yu and
Ia Sheng, which manufacture the threads
suited for the purpose of weaving i'm
proved cloth. The total output of these
two mills is exactly nine bales.
The actual quantity required to meet
the needs of the factories in the sur
rounding regions is about 100 bales. The
deficiency Is therefore 81 bales-roughly
80 per cent. of the demand. Now this
is only the outlook OF a limited area

BIG WATERWAY PLANNED.
Australian River to he Made Nav
igabIe 1000 Miles.

About twenty-four miles from Echuca,
Australia, by road there is U-shaped
bend in the Murray River that Is a mile
around but only one-eighth mile in
width. Across hits narrow neck new
channel Is to be excavated so that the
river can be diverted and the bend
cut out, the Melbourne Argus announces.
Within the new channel lock and a
weir are to be constructed which will
be the most easterly OF the chain OF
river works that will make the Murray
navigable for 1000 miles of its course.
There are to be twenty-six locks and
weirs on the Murray and nine on the
Murrumbidgee. Those on the Murray
will be, roughly, forty miles apart. Pri-
marily the locks and weirs are to secure
navigable river but they are also an
important step in the conservation OF
water. The Torruntbarry works will
bank up sufficient water to give a depth
of six feet at Eohuca. They will also
make II possible to fill the Gunbower irri-
cation channel by gravitation and so
keep the Kow Swamp reservoir supplied.
and In addition will save the pumping
into that channel for Cohuna. A great
advantage will be conferred by the reser-
voir at the junction OF the Militia Militia
to irrigationists in Victoria and New
South Wales.

sites Selected Mt Two Great Health
Resorts.

Plans have been completed and ar
rangements are being made TO COM
mence In the near future the construc-
ton of two large and modern hotels, one
at Medan and the other at Brastagi
health resort, about forty-hve miles from
Medan, in the mountains on the western
limits OF Sumatra East Coast Brastagi,
which is famous for its cool hreezes and
health restoring conditions, is about $500
feet above sea level and is situated COM
paratively near Toba Lake.
This place has already many private
residences and houses for the use OF the
employees OF the several rubber and
tobacco companies and the new hotel
will provide for the increasing demand
for a convenient place near Medan (three
and one-half hours by motor cars) to
get away from the heat OF the lowlands.
Rapid sea communication with Singapore
and Penang will permit travellers to
reach this hotel In thirty-slx hours.
The new hotel in Medap designed to
take the place OF the old Hotel Medan,
will be built in accordance with the gen.
eral custom obtaining throughout Meth
erlands India. that is to say the rooms
viii be IN the nature Of pavillons. each
one practically separate from the other;
Il win be more In the nature of a resi-
denttal hotel than otherwise.
