1 TilorSANDS OF ACRES ARE
LAID WASTE BY VOLCANO
HILO, Island ol’ Hawaii, T. D.
j^liy Associated Press Mail) Millions
( of tons of lava, which have been, pour
| mg lrorn tin- great volcano of Kilauea
i during the past three months, have
I juried approximately twenty five
[ square miles of country under a coat
I ng averaging one hundred feet in
.hickness. The great flows, streaming
n every direction, from their source
•i tile oil rift of ISOS, still are moving
slowly forward, and at one point are
within two miles of the sea, and
twelve miles from the fountain head.
The glittering floods of crimson
.ava are coining from the southern
flank of Kilauea. What was formerly
a quiet expanse of sandy waste, dot
.ed with green oases, now is a
smoking tract of ruin and do solu
tion. A few charred fragments mark
the sites of former forests buried
leop beneath the torrents of molten
;tune ejected by the volcano.
Trained observers have been watch
ng Kilauea for many years and say
vhat it is extremely difficult to find
.hoi.- way about or pick out the old
andmarks. Where, in former days
stretched the level sandy, plain, plen
..fully sprinkled with olivens and
.'ohanic rock, now there rises a
ava dome upwards of three miles in
engtli and two hundred feet in
neight.
Swelling from an earthquake rift
flows have piled on top of flow*
.he crest creased by hot, cherry-red
tracks some of which emit ga*
flames. At the summit of the dome
s a large lake of lava, nearly half
i mile in length having an average
breath of three hundred yards
From the surface of the lake, lava
fountains are continually playing.
Evidences of tremendous destruc
tion are to he found in the sections
where the lower forests used to
>taml. Tall ohia trees, now charred
wrecks, hut in some cases still bulli
ng. rise forlornly amid the general
Isolation.
In one place there is to be seen the
remnant of a stone wall, which, be
foro the last flow started, marked the
boundary of the Kapapala Ranch,
The moving lava surged against the
wall, pushed it over and buried the
greater length of it under the molten
flood.
The stretch of country across which
the present streams of lava are mov
ing is a mass of under-the-surfacc
lubes and tunnels, formed by old
flows, mostly in the great eruption of
J.868. The present molten rivers, lim
ning through these and entering seal
ed caverns, are continually blowing
up the cavern roofs with great explo
sions and showers of red-hot rock,
which make detailed examination haz
ardous.
With intense activity, within the
inner crater of Kilauea, volcano ob
servers say that it appears unlikely
that the present eruption will come
to an end until late in the summer.
