airs are always blowing, it's summer
seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of
it's surf beat is in my ear; I can see
it's garlanded craigs, its leaping cas-
cades, it's plumy palms blowing by the
shore; its remote submits floating like
islands above the cloud rack; 1 can
hear the plash of it's brooks; in my
nostrils still lives the breath of flowers
that persisted long ago."
"Kilauea. the largest active volcano
in the world, is on the neighboring
Island of Hawaii-a days journey from
Honolulu. Its crater, nine miles in
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 Hlo Rail-
way and a short stage ride through
a tropical forest of magnificent proper
lions and unique interest. There is a
good hotel near the crater at 1000 feet
elevation, where the air is cool and
invigorating."
