great interest and most entertaining. Embarking perhaps at Apia. the prin- cipal town of Samoa you travel toward the south. The boats are not the float ing palaces of large: travel. but are. on ne whole. fairly comfortable able lit tie crafts, and ploN sturdly through the waters in a mos. satisfactory way.
 As the various islands of neighbor- Ing groups are reached the little vessel makes port and lies al the wharf or at anchor in the harbor. while countless small craft swarm about. filled with traders CT natives anxious to earn shilling.
 After passing one of the large islands in the Tonsan group you will see small dense,y wooded isle a lit tie to the eastward. immediately upon sighting this, those of the passengers who have made the trip before will be- gin bcsieging the captain to slow down. If he is in all amiable frame of mind, if the weather be propitious; in fact if he is approached in just the right manner. probably the boat will come to stop and either the small boats lowered or Iative canoes will come hurrying out from shore.
 Here, in the far away Pacific. is enacted scene almost identical to that on the popular italian eoast- there hundreds of tourists visit the blue erotto,' cave set in the rocks iu almost the same surroundings as this fairy cave of the tropics.
 As the boat loads of sightseers ap- proach the cave it b seen to be small opening almost completely shadowed by oFe.hanging greenery. Only at low tide can the entrance be made, then the boatman, standing on the rrow of his boat, approache; 10 within about ten feet of the entrance. Producing a large revolver, he aims for the center of the opening and fires
 Instantly there Is an almost deafen- blowing. and out of the cave swarm clouds of swallows. the air is full of them the very heavens grow dark As the cloud of birds lifts the boats are propelled w'stly forward and waving torches over their heads, the boatmen conduct ;heir charges into this odd resting place. The walls lighted by the flick; ing flame present a most delightful spectacle. Covered with the deposits or countless years. 1t looks almost like crystal palace. The echo is tremendous and the lap of the water makes a continuous dHll roar
 As you emerge into the open day you hear the screams and cries of the birds. frightened al the thoughts of possible marauder', and as the torches are lowered and tn. boats withdraw. the very sea seems to give up these futtering. anxious things. and they swarm into their own again.
 It is a strange sight and one we'll worth going many mile to see.

Ladies and Gentlemen. 81 have
the honor to inform you that the
PEinters' Mutual Fire Insurance
Association OF Texas is now ready
for work. You very likely will
recollect that the association was
organized on the 18th day Of Aug
ust, 1904, at Cuero, Texas. When
we applied for the charter, we were
informed by the secretary of state
that our application did not con-
form with the present laws of the
state, passed by the legislature in
1908, The same actually prohibit
ed the organization of the P. M. r.
I. A. OF Texas.
We therefore had TO wait until
the legislature met this year. Luck
lily our President, Hon. A. S, Crisp,
was elected as a member Of the
house, and our association is under
many obligations to him, that he
drafted the bill to suit our associa-
ton and attended to it, SO it passed
the house and senate and was final
/ " signed BY the governor, but i
unIuckily did not come under the
to wait another three months.
Al last the charter IS issued BY
the secretary Of state, the franchise
tax is paid and we are now ready
for work.
| The constitution, application fol
membership, forms of inventory
and all other necessary stationery
is printed.
We hope that every owner OF {
newspaper plant or job Office il
Texas will apply at once for the
necessary papers and send in tn,
application for mem ership, to en-
Joy the great benefit Of this lonl
needed association.
