E. Dutton of the army, lately on duty with the geological survey. Maj. Dutton spoke ine graceful, off-hand way for an hour, with- out any notes or manuscript, just taking, as he expressed it, a ramble through that “little Paradise of the Pacific,” as he called the group of volcanic islands that mark the map of the teat ocean like » small speck in the map. His visit to the islands was made about nine months ago, and he has always felt that if he never did an, else he had-done one thing on toxpeak of the ‘and location of the islands and pede gone real in Gesorib- ing the volcanoes, which f a text for most interesting chat. ‘THE VOLCANOES. There are im the islands, he said, many ex- tinct volcanoes and two thet are still alive, which are the main attraction to travelers in the islands. They are of t_ volume and tam the extraordinary, being somewhat different as to the nerally ‘accept mate- | not take kindly to the streperous sort that have given a bad name to Folcances, but are very Ss in their action, i juently 0 Wil al signs explosive- nese cud Of that terrible fores that. izes such mountains as Vesuvit East Indian volcanoes.

MOUNTAIN BUILDING. ‘This mountain is now in the process of build- ing, being constructed by the successive pour- ing out of lava upon ite sides by the accumula- tion of sheet after sheet of matter that cools and hardens and forms rock. sae slopes sae very gentle, the stee} ing only about seven ‘nd. the gentlest only. four. Here and there are to be scen idom stirred by ebullition as the gases from the center of the earth come welling and | hurrying fey ir prisons and throw | masses of the matter up into the air. The as- | cent of the mountain is not difficult if one only knows the way, but otherwise it is next to im- ble. The of the traveler is impeded ¥ great streams of ecoriated lava, which are ab- solutely impassable for animals and next to so for men. ‘The way up to the summit is through lanes that have been formed between these streams. Thero are no spurs, ravines or gorges to be found on the mountain, because the mass is now forming and the water cannot conse- quently lay upon it so as to make rivers or streams that will in time wear down the surface of the lava. When the innumerable fissures through which the rain sinks down at once into the sea have become cemented up, as in the case of extinct volcanoes, the waters will — rivers ot ee and a] . ere is but one Stream on the mass, tnd this is between the two mountains. The neighbor Maunaloa is Maunakaa, which is a little higher, but steeper and with less mass. It is covered with vents, or cinder cones, which give it a very rough ap- pearance, and has more 8co1 matter on its surface. This is an extinct volcano, and it has some ravines on its windward side, on which the mains fall, these being the result of the trade winds, which always blow from the east. A VARIETY OF CLIMATE. For the same reason there is quite a variety of climate to be found on the island, On the south and southwestern sides the land is very arid, with little or no rain, an& On the east and northeast it is very moist and rains almost con- tinually. ‘There is sometimes an annual rain- fall in this region of 250 inches in a year. It rains easily. and when it does come down it rains for business. But it is not an uncomfort- able raix. No one seems to mind it. The clothing dries soon after the shower, and there are no bad effects. The vegetation is rank, but beeutiful. There are many trees of @ Secular species, and 80 many fronds that the Is may be called the home of the torn. Some of these grow to be so large that they are practically trees six, seven and eight feet in height. There is the bai da peculiar tree with lime-colored of, the leap into the gorges of the extinct volcanoes and there is a soft wildness throughout the scene that renders it very attractive to the eye. The natives in these regions live in picturesque houses and are about midway between e absolutely savage state and the moré civil- ized condition of those around the cities of the islands. A forest belt in one section is almost impassable; the lecturer needed twelve hours to make four miles through this mass of vegeta- tion. ‘THE ISLAND CRACKED. An eruption of Maunaloa is of interest on account of the vast masses of Java thrown out from the vente. In 1868, during season of ea juakes, the earth opened in a large crack about three-quarters of a mile in length and an enormous sheet of hot lava was thrown up to- ward she sky with tremendous force, then ficwing down to the sea, which was about nine ‘or ten miles distant. It took the lava only forty minutes to reach the water, it sowed wit such rapidity. Inan <a in 1881 the lava almost reached the sea and came very near en- fing the town of Helo. The stream ran ates mont and a story is told of how after wal and fearful expectation ye weary ing ie ipect the American ry ry to- au Rie and tho ave: hopt on flowing. merican sty] va, on flowing.
