easy of access for the tourist. Good
hotels, good roads and guides make
easy the way for a peep into the ever
lasting fire of real volcano

Some of the older craters are much

the largest extinct as we'll as the largest
active crater in the world And here
also is the highest mountain in all the

Hawaii, this may be easily assembled on

Some people are attracted by the
semitropical vegetation of this fortunate

| ferns, and many palm trees.
For those who like sport there is
shooting and fishing, and the ordinary
games of the United States To these

the help of a native surf-boat and
strong-armed rowers.
After a visit to Hawaii, however
short, zone is apt to appreciate Mark
Twain's wel-chosen words:
mo Land N all the world has any
deep, strong charm for me but that one:
no other land could so longingly and
beseechingly haunt me sleeping and
waking, through more than half life
time, as that one has done. Other
things leave me, but it abides; other
things change, but it remains the same.
For me its balmy airs are always blow
ing, its summer seas flashing in the
sum- the pulsing of its surf beat is in
nv ear: can see its earlanded crags. its
1eaping cascades, its plurny palms bowling
by the shore: its remote SUBMITS float
ing like islands above the cloud rack
I can feel the spirit of its woodland
solitude: [ can hear the Mash of lis
brooks; in my nostrils still lives the
breath of flowers that persisted years
and years ago"
