ing with the cores from Kilauea will
be the application of the knowledge of
mining. Ores of copper and the pre-
cious metals occur near volcanic
rocks. Sulphur is closely associated
with them. Copper sulphide has been
found repeatedly in the glowing
cracks of Hawaiian lava. Sulphides
may exist underground in the hot re-
gion, and such discovery would be in

at Kilauea has already reached the
point where IL is known that violent
eruptions may be foretold almost to

When making plans for the home

should not be placed upon vegetables,
but provision should be made for plant

be arranged around the foundation of
the house, or in a bed separating the

KiIauea in Hawaii Is Perpetual
Show Place, Performing
Day and Night.
LAVA IS CONSTANTLY BOILING
Crater Covers an Area Of 2,7oo Acres
and Is Eight Miles in Circumfer-
ence-Paved Highway Leads to
IL From Hilo, 80 Miles Away.

Hilo, T. Hon the Island of Ha-
waii-the big island, as it is called, of
the Hawaiian groups located the
only tame volcano in the world. 1t is
perpetual show place, performing
day and night and at times putting on
demonstration that is awe-inspiring
liz its grandeur and manifested power.
On such occasions boat excursions are
run here from Honolulu and other
island towns. 1t was only last March
that Kilauea belched forth flood of
molten lava that flowed In giant
streams over the vast floor of the cir
cular crater that surrounds the active
pit of Halemaumau. The big crater
covers an area of 200 acres and is
eight miles around. The pit of con-
stantly boiling, steaming and screech-
ing lava and gas is situated almost
In the center of the original crater.
The active volcanic pit is more than
three miles in circumference.
Has No Counterpart.
From q Typographical standpoint
the volcano of Kilauea has no cOun-
terpart. There leads to the very rim
of the crater a paved highway, all the
way from Hilo, 81 miles. The only
visible hint that is given one that a
volcano is anywhere around is the
white sulphur fumes that may be seen
during the day and the glowing red
of reflected fire from the live pit at
night.
So easy is the grade of the highway
that the rise from sea level to an alti-
tude of 1000 feet in less than thirty
miles ise scarcely noticed, except by
the increased chilliness of the air.
Then suddenly at turn In the fern
lined road there bursts into. view the
black, undulating crater of Kilauea.
and there comes to ones ears the hiss
ing of the giant cauldron of gas and
molten lava in the pit of Halemaumau.

in the outer rim and out upon the
hardened lava. The remaining short
distance to the performing center is
