TEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 19 % " KILANEA THREATEN 10 GUT UP AGAIN Hawaiian Volcano Shows Signs of Resuming Activity Honolulu, Feb. 16.—Intense ac- tivity, greater than known heretoforo to any Hawaiians now living is man- ifest in Kilauea volcano, according to Yeports received here. Kilauea s lile largest active crater in the world, <izht miles in circumference, and is tituated in the southeasterly part of the island of Hawaii, the largest icland of the group. The volcano, enclosed by a circular vall from 200 to 700 feet in height, ' i< & black plain of some four square miles in area, within which is the yit of Halemaumau, about 2,000 fect in diameter, recently empty to depth of a thousand feet, but now level to its mouth with hoiling lava. -1 few months ago the life of the v c¢no could hardly be discerned, today the pit is a roaring, boiling, swirling lake of fire of muany acres in extent and at night the glow frowm i the red hot lava can be seen all over ' 1l4e island and far out at The fiory lake is filled with spouting foun- 1ains that shoot the liguid rock hun- <reds of feet into the air. The rim of the pit is constantly crumbling, eat away at its base by the surging tide of fire, and tumbling with deafening crashes into the molter: mass. Reports from Hilo record the per- ilous feat of Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr., director of the Volcano observa- tory, in venturing out on the hot, « Dbarely solidified edge of the lava for ' Iore than 100 yards tc plunge his in- struments into the lake of fire for the purpose of ascertaining its tem- perature. He was successful and he and his assistants escaped in safety c<nly a short time before the spot on which they had stood was engulfed | and became itself a part of the boil- ing floed. The temperature of the lake is more 1han 2,000 degrees fahrenheit, ‘accord- j ing to the results obtained by Profes- sor Jaggar. The temperature was* jound by thrusting into the molten lava length of pipe screwed together | into the end of which had been fitted | #ix Seegar cones. conical plugs of # fusible clay designed to melt at vary- | ing temperatures. | To reach the living lava, Pt‘ofeFSorE Jaggar and his assistants had to} scramble down sixty feet over the rim | of the pit, holding on to the knife- | _cdged crags that had been thrown | up by the volcano's activity. One of | 1he party fell when near the bottom, but fortunately regained his feet in | s time to prevent rolling into a fissure | where he would have been consumed in an instant. Professor Jaggar, who is connected | with the Massachusetfs Institute of Technology, has spent five years at Kilauea, observing the phenomena of the volcano for scientific purposes. He Iakes almost hoursly observa- tions, makes chemical anaiyses of the lava, the gases arising from the it and is endeavoring to deduce from | his studies general rules from which 1o predict voleanic activity and its influences. 2 The city of Honolulu, the capital of the group, on the island of Oahu is about 180 miles distant from Kilauea ! volcano, but there is a population of Jearly 50 000 persons on the island of Hawaii. where the volcano is sit- i vated.

Paris thus has been enjoying seventeen hours of continuous con- templation of city refuse that is stirred shaken and overturned.in the mean- time for rags, paper and bones. The Kabyles have done so well toward remedying this situation that 300 more of them will be utilized in the work. “There are now 20,000 of our peo- ple in France for the national de- fence,” savs Si Salah Si Ahmed, Caid or governor of the Douar Maatkas of Tizi-Ouzou in Labylie. ‘Neither tne climate nor the conflict daunts them”, he added. S8i Salah was sent by the 9,000 inhabitants of his Douar to tell the French government it may count upon them for anything it wants: The experiment of Algerian help in the fleld and factory in France has been a great success. These men, par- ticularly those from the mountain re- glons, have wonderful endurance, are very Industrious and easily contented. They are working alongside other Mussulmen from Morocco and Tunis, while a great many others are in the ranks of the Algerian riflemen at the {front.. They have proven a great deal no apprehension need be entertained this climate; they have shown quite a taste for farming, have learned quick, ly the use of machine tools in factories and their apprenticeship in municipal work has perhaps heen the greatest success of all. The Annamites from the French colony of Indo-China, also unskilled, have been quick to learn and are prob- ably more fastidious in their work than the Kabyles; as gleaners in the harvest field last summer, they were said to have never overlnoked a spear. The Moors are better fighters than they are farmers, yvet they are taking to agriculture and French observers who are watching the experiment look to the result of a most beneficial influ- ence upon the future agricultural de- velopment of Morocco. The question was chamber of deputies recently as to what complications might develnp from the presence of so many colonial laborers in France at the end of ths war. The general sentiment wns that more effective.than the Sengalese In on this score, and that it was even less menacing than the formidable exten- sion of the use of women in mechani- cal labor. The Kabyles, Indo-Chinese and Moors, it is held, will, after they nave laid up a little money, he glad enough to go back home where their savings wil enabe them to play the “nabob.” Nearly every ship arriving from Al- geria now brings more of the Kabyles, who are more and more counted upon to solve the question of labor. They are taller than the average Algerlan, with features resembling somewhat those of the peasants of Central France. They are not uniform in com- ralsed in the New Britain the Antomobiie Show, State Armory, February 10th to 17th inclusive, plexion, some being dark and some light, with fair hair. Their language is the Berber, although they use the Ara- bian letters. The possibilities of the experiment may be judged from the fact that Kabylie is the most populous part of North Africa, having 158 in- habitants per square mile.
