A Peep Into Kllauea'a Laka of Brinv ton and Fir. Kllauea. in nawall, is a round, ei- tlnct crater about three miles across and 700 or 800 feet deep. It una lwu the scene of terrific explosions in pnst nees. but It has now dwindled to the small active crater of' IJaluuniutiuiii. which is sunk near the middle of It like a huge pot, 200 or niore feet dwp aud 1.000 feet across. In the midaftemooii a party of right of ten of us on horseback set out to visit the volcano, The troll led dowu the broken and shelving side of the crnter. nmid trees and buahes. till it struck tbe floor of lava at the bottom. Our course took us out over the cracked aud contorted lava beds, where no green thing was growing. Ibe forma of the lava Bow suggested mailed and writhing dragons, with horrid, rrnnlnrr mouths and vicious claws. The lava crunched beneath the horses' feet like shelly and brittle Ice. At one nolnt we nassed over a wide. jagged crack on a bridge. As we neared the crater tbe rocks grew warm ana sulphur aud other fumes streaked me otr. ' When half a mile from the crater we dismounted and. leaving our borses In charge of the guide, proceeded on foot over tbe cracked aud bented luva rocits toward the brink of this veritable devil's cnldrom. The sulphur fumes are so suffocating that It van be ap proached only on the windward side. Tbe first gtance into that fearful pit is all that your Imagination can picture It. You look iinon the traditional lake of brimstone and Are, and if devils were to appear skipping about over tbe surface with filtcbforks. turning their victims as the cook turns ber' frying crullers in the sputtering fat. It would not much surprise you. This liquid is rather thick and viscid, but It Is boll Ing furiously. Ureal masses of it are thrown up forty or fifty feet and fall with a crash like tbat of tbe surf npoo tbe shore. Tbe mass of boiling lava Is said to be about one and one-ball acres In extent. Its surface Is covered with large masses of floating crust, black and smooth, like leather or rooting paper, and be tween these masses, or. Islands, tbe molten lava shows In broad. Vivid lines. It la never unlet. Looking udod this scene with tbe thought of tbe traditional lake of Are and brimstone of our forefathers in mind, you would say'that these black. ! filtby looking masses floating about on tbe surface were tbe accumulation of ' all tbe bad stuff tbat had been fried out of tbe poor sinners since bell was Invented, now much wickedness and ; uncharity and evil thought It would represent! If the poor victims were clarified and made purer by the proe- ; ess, then It would seem worth woiie. John Burroughs In Century.
