we visited two days later. The journey
was one continuous picnic 1t was made
by the same party in carriage and on
horseback The crossing of the ferry at
Houalei was made all the more roman
tic by the tradition that our ferryman
had been a Chinese pirate; he certainly
looked enough like one.
One of the wonders of Kauai is the
mirage This wonderful optical de-
lusion will occasionally greet the trav-
eler three miles beyond Waiwea. The
sandy tract that stretches along the
road seems transposed into a lake of
water, where the images of cattle are
reflected as they appear to feed upon
submerged vegetation, while the trunks
of trees seem to rise out of the water.
The natives have a tradition that at
certain seasons, just before dawn, the
old giant, Kanalimaloa, once a power
full chief of Maua, is seen rising from
the ground, armed with his spear, and
with his helmet on his head.
Another natural curiosity is the Bark
ing Sands of Maua. A long line of low
sand hills is thrown up along the beach,
and as the traveller walks over these
mounds, or strikes the sand, a growing,
barking sound is produced. This sound
seems to be a property peculiar to these
sands. They only bark when dry, and
if a large quantity is removed and put
in bag, the same barking will be pro-
duced by letting the sand suddenly
fall from one end of the bag to the
other. I witnessed an exhibition of
this at the home of Mr.. Turner, the
mana 0AT nf tha 0cf1-ioh farm
The ostrich farm is situated on a
sandy beach about three miles from
Koloa, shut in on all sides, save one, by
mountain ranges. On that side is the
ocean. Accompanied by DIR. Crane.
mounted on spirited horses and attend
ed by a Portuguese guide, L set out,
January 17th, for the farm. We reached
it in. time for lunch. Mr.. Turner, the
manager, showed US about the place
and told us of the habits of the os-
trich. According to Mr.. Turner, this
giant bird has very little sense He
never looks to step over or crawl under
fence, but will fall over it. "He is
such fool" said the manager, that
if the fence around his paddock was
removed, he would be three days in
making the discovery, and then he
would fall over the path,
Mr.. Turner says the old theory that
the sun matches the eggs of an ostrich
is absurd The ostrich is faithful
setter. The females sit by day and the
males by night. They lay three times
during the year. fifteen or sixteen eggs
at time. A bird has been known to
yield 5000 worth of feathers at. single
plucking, and they are plucked every
seven months.
Ostriches may not be one of the Won
