Mauna Loa Threatens Hilo

Mauna Loa, the noted Hawaiian volcano, has been especially active of late, and its flow of lava threatens the extinction of the town of Hilo, the second city in size in the Hawaiian Islands. The flow began July 4, and has increased, traversing a distance of thirty-two miles, to within five miles of Hilo, with no barriers between. The heavens are lighted at night for many miles, and the spectacle is often grand beyond description.
