Pulu, Uses of, 222, 228 



Pumice (limu) is usually a form of obsidian 

 (which see) and contains a large per cent 

 of silica. It is usually the froth-like lava 

 ejected from volcanoes and has a loose spongy 

 or cellular structure which is produced by 

 the escape of gas or steam while the lava, 

 of which it is formed, was becoming consoli- 

 dated. Light specimens will float and are 

 carried far and wide by the sea : small pieces 

 are occasionally picked up by sea birds, 

 especially the alljatross. It was much used 

 by Hawaiians for polishing, and was also 

 used in the last stages of preparing a pig 

 for baking. Pumice is in reality porous vol- 

 canic glass, the pores being small.
