lish and Americans, but before reaching
our hotel we saw that those were only
the advance guard Of porters, small
trad rs, agents for this and that, idle
sailors and the general tiotsam and Jet
sam Of port in the tropics which is the
common resting place OF rovers Of all
nat ms.
II IN the center of the town on, how
ever we struck it rich in the Kanaka
line We saw them Of every age and
mar shades Of color and in every stage
Of Gress and civilization, from the new
arrival from the mountain highlands,
clad only so far as absolute decency re-
quirsd to the cultured gentleman IN
blue coat, white vest and truly immacu-
late linen. At every convenient recess
in the side Of the street was group Of
native women, but there was not the
same variety in their dress. With scarce
ly an exception each wore sort OF
Mother Hubbard" Of blue cloth, and
whether walking, sitting or riding-and
many OF them were riding and always
astride-they managed this single gar
ment with the same modest grace had
noted among those in the boats.
The streets are Of fair width, and in
places seemed 10 me whittier than was
agreeable and rather dusty. As there is
nearly always breeze enough at sea to
refresh one felt oppressed at first by
the dead calm in the air, and retiring to
the courtyard Of the hotel was just say
ing 1t was hotter than had been led 10
expect when felt strong cool breeze.
In three minutes at the furthest the sky
was overcast and almost black; in 10
minutes more the rain was pouring in
volumes, which, as it seemed TO me,
threatened TO wash the town away. ]
naturally supposed that open air sight
seeing was done with for that day, but
my local mentor, to whom had brought
letters from Salt Lake City, laughingly
replied: wait wee. You are not in old
England now, nor yet in Utah"
In an hour the sky was bright and
clear as ever. In another the streets
were in splendid condition, and next
morning they were dusty again. then
learned three things which surprised me
very much: That at least one-fourth Of
the entire population of the little king
dom live in Honolulu; that the city rests
not on the true rock Of the islands or
volcanic deposits, but on sort Of fiat
built up by the coral insect, and that
three-fourths Of the Hawaiians of all
races live in very narrow belts around
the islands The interior Of Hawaii es-
pecially is an almost untrodden waste.
The coralline basis Of Honolulu is SC
olen that water runs through it az
through fine sieve, and SO, though il
may rain six days in succession, the
streets will be dry on the seventh.

When you come la out Of the rain, don't
plump your nice silk umbrella, ferrule
down, into the umbrella stand unless YOU
want 10 ruin IT, That lets the water and
tiny specks OF grit run down into the
lining under the iron ring that secures the
ribs, and II stays there, making the silk

the umbrella open 10 dry, as that stretches
the silk and makes IL stiff, and IL will soon
split. Shake it well, then close It and stand

i have no spite against the reader of
this article. shall therefore not add
one TO the 200 and odd descriptions of
Kilauea now eXtant, As the raw attor-
ney who began his maiden speech by tell

it doesn't. AT any rate it never does un-
less when the quantity is enormous and
while it is still 30 hot as TO maintain
great huidity. Almost always-always
in small streams-it maintains sluggish
flow, like warm tar or thin mush, and
as II flows the surface is rapidly cooling

interior bursts up through this, and the
outflow cools again, and this is repeated

fertile little tracts. and the Kanakas have
here and there cultivated patches near
the mountains, where the lava seems TO
have cooled but yesterday.
We took what is called the new route
70 visit Kealakeallua bay, where Captain
Cook was killed, and Of that tragedy !
received a very curious account from
Mr.. Broughton, an aged BritOn, who
reached the islands as sailor in 1910.
He had il direct from two aged Kanakas
who witnessed the killing. 1t seems that
after Captain Cook had carried matters
with a high hand for awhile two par
ties formed. One said he was LOnO, the
god: the other that he was Kanaka, or
imam" such Icing the meaning Of that
word. The argument as reported bore
a suspicious resemblance 10 that in the
correspondence between President Ed
wards and DR.. Samuel Hopkins. One
said, He cannot bea god, for els cruel
yindictive and greedy" The other said,
you cannot tell how a god will act,
and perhaps"
It was the familiar issue, Are right
and wrong absolute, and is the moral
law obligatory on Deity as on mortals!
Well, the Edwards party, 80 to speak,
carried the day, and it was decided that
the supposed Lono should be put TO
the test. A blow-not mortal-was
struck; the captain groaned and blood
| flowed. "Kanaka, nor "a man, indeedD
cried the skeptics. "Oai Oar CTrue,
TrueD screamed the others. "Kanaka,
| nor and he was at once dispatched.
And" added Mr.. Broughton, when
the old men told us this the tears stood
in their eyes, for they were among the
! few who continued 10 believe that Cook
was god, or at least superior being"
With the horseback ride thence TO
Kilauea and the descent into the crater
all general readers are familiar. Every
body knows how Pele, the devil goddess Of
the Kanakas, used to hold her fiery court
in the flaming lake; how the flaments
Of lava, like glassblowers' thread, q"
thrown off by the fiery waves, were be-
lieved TO be her hair; how the natives,
when warned by well known signs that
an eruption was near, threw many fat
hogs and other articles Of value into the
lake, and finally how the brave Princess
Kauikulani, TO convince her people that
idolatry was foolish, descended into the
crater without the usual ceremonies and
returned uuhurt 10 her amazed people.
