It has the greatest cra'ter known one nine miles across, and from 300 zo 800 feet deep. And such a crater! In it is a literal lake of molten lava all the time 4ft times 'the lava is ever 100 feet deep, and at other rimes it is 200 feet deep, according to.

Nearly all the tourists in Xonolulu go to see the marvelous eruptions on Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Hotels have been bui.t on the mountain sides for the accommodation of sightseers, and there are scores of guides about the craters. One of the many places of interest in Oahu outside of Honolulu is the Punchbowl It is an extinct volcano rising a few hundred feet above the town.

Another resort is Pall the highest point in the pass through the range of mountains that divides Oahu. It is the fashion, and a very good fashion it is, to see the Pali and praise its charms. It is 'the Yosemite of Hawaii. The view from this height sweeps the whole island from north to south. In the direction of the capital the land slopes to a level two miles from the sea and then spreads flatly to tho shore.

The hillsides are not. as a rule, in a state of cultivation, although the soil is fertile. The land is now cumbered with the wild' guava, which bears fruit as big as the lemon; and with the lantana, the seeds of which. are scattered broadcast by an imported bird called the minah. On the lower ground small farmers, mostly Orientals, mako their homes, and there are several cane plantations.

Turing tho other way tho sightseer gets one of the famous views of the world. Prom the apex of the pass to its northward drop is a sheer toboggan like descent of nearly 1,000 feet. Far below the country spreads to the eye like a relief map. It undulates with here and there a feathery farm, then a rice field, great sugar ranches beyond, and In the distance the ocean, its blue waters thrust back by lava capes or sharp volcanic cones and cliffs. Closer by the mountain crags pierce the clouds.

He who has not been to the Pali on a clear day has missed half the' charm of Oahu. Majestic scenery, zestful sport, glimpses of the savage state and delightful homes, surroundings which many races have brought with them from strange and diistamt lands or ages; an easy life in which even revolutions are good humored; a climate of Bdenic charm these are some of the things one sees and hears or passes through in Honolulu and its verdant island. Philadelphia Timea. CATLED IT IIETAIW3 ON. New elements in the atmosphere, discovered by 'the use of liquefied air, are reported to the Royal Society by Professor Ramsay and Mr.

Travers. A large quantity of argots was separated from atmospheTic and the latter gas was separated by magnesium. Tho residue was then liquefied by the coolmg, effect of liquid air. They found a product' with a density of 13 instead of 20 as for argon, with a spectrum differing from that of known gase3. This they calle neon.

By continued distillation they obtained from the Hquid argon a solid which only slowly evaiporized. The gas into which this solid was converted had practically the same density as argon, but its spectrum was altogether different and peculiar, consisting for tho most part of bands, not lines.

The retirement ot the firm of W. H. Mum ford of 320 Fulton street, which has taken irtace wiShln the past week, will be re gretted by a bost at Brooklynltes and re Jl moves from the business section of tbe borough a familiar landmark. For nearly half a century this firm has successfully conducted ts business along lines that have won for it the highest reputation among the representative residents and placed it in the first ranks in the business world. W.

H. Mum ford confined taeir attention strictly to up bolstery and wall paper and this combination is unique, only one other firm, now retired, having carrted the same lines, either in Brooklyn or New York. The unfailing courtesy shown by the members the firm to all wtth whom they came in contect in the course of their long business career was Imitated by those in their employ and undoubtedly proved a valuable factor in the firm's success. The history of the house is familiar to all the old Brooklyn families. The firm was among the pioneers on upper Fulton street and when they purchased the ground on which their present establishment was subsequently erected there was not a building on the block.

This was in 1872 and the ground formed part of the estate of Judge Smith's family. W. H. Mumford made their start in the spring of 1S53 at 201 Atlantic avenue, at that time a flourishing business thoroughfare. In 1858 a removal was mado to 21S and 220 Fulton street, where they remained until the early seventies, when, as already noted, they were among the leaders in the exodus to Fulton street above the City Hall, and have occupied the premises at 320 Fulton street ever since.

It is interesting to state in connection with this mention of the Messrs. Mumford's retirement that of the nouses in tneir line of business which were in existence when they began forty five years ago not one remains to day either in Brooklyn or on the other side of the East River. The building that has been the scene of their long continued activity has been secured for another line of business, but of the future movements of the Messrs. Mumford nothing can be stated at present, as they prefer to give no indication of their plans now that the firm as such has retired. The entire Mumford stock has been purchased by Abraham Straus and the latter will place the results of their purchase upon sale in a few days.

THE VCkLCSANOES OE HAWAII Are the Biggest and Strangest in the Whole World. In acquiring Hawaii the United States has gained beside one of the most fertile and rich islands in the world some of the finest mountain scenery presented anywhere In the universe a district which could it be transplanted with all its grandeur of scenery and climate would make the fortune of an American hotel keeper in a year. The mountains are all volcanoes. They are a class by themselves. They are not only the tallest, but the biggest and strangest in the whole world.

Considering that they reach from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (18,000 feet deep there) to over 15,000 feet above sea level, they really stand 33,000 feet from their sub oceanic base to their peaks. The active craters on the islands number 300, but the dead craters, the ancient chimneys of subterranean lava beds, are numbered by the thousands. The islands are of lavic formation. Evidences of extinct volcanoes are so common that one seldom notices them after a few weeks' residence on the Islands. Ancient lava is present everywhere.

The natives know all its virtues and while some ancient deposits are used as a fertilizer for soils, other lava beds are blasted for building material and for macadamizing roads. Titanic volcanic action is apparent on every side. Every headland is an extinct volcano. Every island has its special center eruption, which, beginning at the unfathomable bottom of the sea, has slowly built up a foundation and then a superstructure of lava. On the island of Hawaii and on Molokal are huge cracks several thousand of feet deep and many yards in width, which were formed by the bursting upward of lava beds ages and ages ago.

The marks of the Titanic force are plainly visible. Mark Twain is authority for saying that the two grea't active volcanoes, Maun a Lroa and Kilauea, are the most interesting in the world. Certainly they are the most unique. Mauna Loa is 14,000 fee't above sea level. Every six or seven years there is an eruption trom ite sides, and several dmes the flow of lava threatened 'the ruin of the town of Hllo, thirty miles away.

The crater on Mauna Lca Is three miles in diameter and 600 feet deep. Over 'the crater hangs an illuminated vapor which may be seen at night over 200 miles distant. When Mauna Loa is THE G'BEAT GBAB GASIE. A wan may slave And a man may save. His fortunes to advance, But he never can get Very rich, you bet, ie never takes a chance.

The Soil of the Island Well Adapted for the Cultivation of the Nutritious North WTet, L. I. July 29 It being continually discovered that certain products of the soil, the values of which have been overlooked or neglected, possess characteristics which if turned to account would render their cultivation profitable, it is also found upon investigation that the naturally underdrained lands and friable soils of Long Island are those best suited to the growth of such prod nets as well as to the many others which have already been fully developed there. It has been shown that the lands of the north side of the island, are almost identica4 in character with those In Connecticut, upon which is grown the famous tobacco from the fine leaves of which the best wrappers in the manufacture of cigars are selected and that some Long Islamders who are familiar with the culture of tobacco actually grow in their gardens sufficient for their individual use.

Those same rolling lands produce the best qualities of peaches and other fruits which are brought to market. Then, in all the experience in testing soils for the growth of of tbe loams of LonS rsland more nearly fulfill requirements than the lands of any otner territory in the United States. aISt free trom the diseases which affept their species in districts less thoroughly drained and there are numerous other in nroduc adaPtkbmty of Long Island to '8 not, now grown, thereon through the superior endowments which nature has bestowed upon lands.
