HILO, T. H., Sept. 9 (by Associated
Press).—Lava flowing from the Kil
auea volcano on to the Kau desert
near here, in eight months of activity
has built up a minature mountain,
several hundred feet in height, and
two miles long and has covered sev
enty miles of country with a thick
coating of volcanic deposit.
The Kau flow burst from the south
ern flank of the volcano, about six ,
miles from the main crater, Decem
ber 21st last. It is still in action and
shows few signs of dimishing in vol
ume. In point of duration of time
the flow, or .'combination of flows
now running, have been exceeded
only once in the known history of
Kilauea, by the flows of 1880-81, ■
which were active ten months, trav
eled more than forty miles and
reached to within one mile of this
city. Volcano observers expect the
present flow to establish a new dur
ation record.
Sources of the present flow in De
cember last were merely a series of
cracks in the Kau desert’s surface.
Today, as a result of the piling up of
continually spouting lava, they have
built a mountain several hundred feet
high. So permanently has this mass
altered the contour of the country
that it has been officially named
“Mauna Iki,” or “Little Mountain,” to
distinguish it from its 14,000-foot high
volcanic neighbor, Mauna Loa or
“Big Mountain.”
At irregular intervals on the sum
mit of Mauna Iki are lages of molten
lava, fed by active fountains, which
fling their fiery streams over the
banks to cascade down the hillside
in angry, red cataracts.
The lava flows have reached a
series of deep pit craters ten miles in
one direction from their source. For
generations these craters have been
the home of the large white “bosun”
or “frigate” birds, who now are driv
en to seek other nesting places. As
the advancing flows dispossess suc
cessive colonies of thee birds, they
fly over the hot stream with piteous
cries.
Constant observations are made by
the staff of the volcanic observatory
but, as yet, it is said to be impossible
to form any conclusion as to when
this process of earth building and
earth destroying will end. Volcano
observers say that there is every in
dication that as the year progresses
towards fall and winter, activity is
likely to increase rather than dimish.
For weeks the lava column in the
crater of Kiluea, the supply base of
the Kau desert flows, has been sink
ing until it is more than 300 feet be
low the rim of the pit. This sinking,
say observers, is coming to the end
of its season and will be followed by
a xise of the lava column, which, it is
stated, will increase the Kau flows
reaching the aor on the crest of
Mauna Iki.
Scientists express the opinion that
the present Kau flows will reach the
sea within the next few months.
“MADAM SPHINX” WITH
ALMA REUBENS PLEASES
PATRONS OF EMPRESS
_ i
Alma Reubens does some clever
work in “Madam Sphinx,” shown at
the Empress last night, and repeated
for the last time tonight. Many will
recall having seen her in “Firefly of
Tough Luck” some little time ago. She <
has an unusually attractive personal
ity, and while not so well known as
many screen favorites, her charm and
versatility will win her recognition and
friends. And the story of the play?
If “Madam Sphinx” told all her secrets,
how wise wre would be. You will sim
ply have to go and learn for yourself—
tonight, at the Empress.
A current news reel and an unusual- <
ly funny twro-reel farce comedy com
plete an all round excellent program.
Tomorrow night Bryant Washburn
is coming in a charming romantic com
edy, “The Gypsy Trail.” Playing op
posite him is Wanda Hawley. Special <
mention should be made of Casson 1
Ferguson and his clever work, wdiich
adds greatly to the fascination and ap- .
peal of this pleasing production.
