T 11.- Foot- 1 prints, ISO year» old, of a Hnwaliun unity that lied from the wrath of Pele. goddess of the active volcano of Kilauea, near here, are believed io have b«s*n discovered In the Knu desert, south *if the great crater, by Prof. T. A. Jagger, Jr,, In charge *»t the volcano observatory. Dr. Jagger amt hta party were ex ploring a region far removed ’front any of the known, modern trails when ihey came u|»ai the area thickly cov ■ red with the Imprint of naked feet, all pointing In the one direction, all deep at the toes ami light at the heel*. Indicating that the makers of the tracks had been running at top speed. The trucks originally had been made In volcanic a*ii. which is »trvugly iui- pregualed with sulphurous add and gyiwutn, and which when, wet by rain, settles Into a hard concrete, thus ex plaining the preservation of the Im prints for a period believed to have stretched over more than a century and a quarter.

Keoua lev! in army of three divis ions against King Kamehameha, who later united all the Hawaiian Islands under his sway, tn the year 1T90. Thia year also recorded the last explosive eruption of Kilauea volcano. Hawal tan legend records the fact that »’me of Keoua‘a warriors rolled stones In to Kilauea crater to mark their dis respect for the goddess of the molten lake. Whatever the reason for the outburst, Pele rose tn her wrath, and. with a terrible explosive eruption, to tally wipe«! out the second division of Keoua'« army. The footprints found In the Kau de» ert are believed to tie those of men of the flrat division, who seeing the destruction of their comrades In the The rear, fled from the locality, third division coming up. saw the bodies of the annihilated second and halted. the area where the footprints were discovered Is part of the new Kilauea nations! park, which will be vtedtrated this year, and stops already have been taken to Indooe the tracks and pre serve them.
