hotel advertisement, it is also some
thing more, as the authors have rec
ognized that in order to attract people
to a particular hotel they must first
be interested in the Islands. The IN
formation given for this purpose is j
very judicious selection-eloquent, brief
and 10 the point. The front page is
entirely free from hotel advertise
ments, the words Honolulu and 'Ha-
and followed by a surf-riding scene
under Diamond Head. 1.-The Tourist"
"The Investor and 1.-The Home seek
err are each addressed as class, and
the charms of Honolulu, it's perpetual
summer, its exemption from oppressive
heat, sunstroke, hurricanes, floods,
frosts and venomous reptiles are duly
iempha sized.
The leading line Of the Hawaiian
Hotel advertisement,
I'm THE SHADE OF THE PALMS"
is particularly appropriate to that
beautiful hostelry, which is truthfully
described as having "a wealth of trop-
ical foliage overhanging its broad, cool
verandas" and famed by the gentle
trade winds" These features arc i'll

wrote of them
No other land in all the world has
any deep, strong charm for me bui
THAT one; no other land could so long
ingly and beseechingly haunt me
sleeping and waking, through more
than half a lifetime, as that one has
done. Other things leave mes but il
abides; other things change, but it re-
mains the same. For me it's balmy
airs are always blowing, it's summer
seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing OF
it's surf beat is in my ear; l can sec
its garlanded craigs, its leaping cas-
|cades, it's plumy palms blowing by the
shore; its remote SUBMITS floating like
Iislands above the cloud rack; l car
hear the plash of its brooks; in my
nostrils still lives the breath Of flowers
that perished long ago."
'Kilauea, the largest active volcano
in the world, is on the neighboring
EIsland of Hawaii-a days journey from
Honolulu. Its crater, nine miles il
circumference, is practically
A LAKE OF FIRE.
This broad outlet for the subter.
ranean forces is stated by scientists
to be the great safety valve of the vol.
canic area of these Islands. The vol
cano is easily reached by the Hilo Rail
way and a short stage ride through
a tropical forest of magnificent proper
tions and unique interest There is
good hotel near the crater at 1000 fee
elevation, where the air is cool ant
invigorating.'
