GREECE ISN'T INIT
WITH kILiUEh PIT

George Lycurgus came down from
the Volcano House on the Mauna Kea
yesterday as enthusiastic over what he
had seen as boy with new pair of
boots. Everything looked new to him,
and he fairly effervesces in talking
about it.
"Greeee2 There is nothing in it
compared with the Volcano of Kilauea.
You will find plenty of ruins over there,
but at the volcano you find something
new all of the time he remarked over
his afterdinner coffee yesterday. 4
had my first ride on the Mauna kea
on my return to Honolulu following my
arrival from Greece. / did not appre-
ciate all of the comforts of the steamer
on that trip, but this last one brought
them particularly to my notice be-
cause [ allowed my thoughts to go
back to the old Kinau days and made
a mental note of the difference. No
one should object to that trip now; on
the contrary, they should be happy over
the prospects of taking journey on a
steamer where the cuisine is so good,
the service excellent, and the motion
as slight as one could wish on vessel
at sea. The experience was new to
me, though | have travelled many times
over the course I long to get back
where the air is as cool and bracing as
one generally finds it at the crater
Improvements and additions to the
Volcano House will be made at once,
and on Monday the workmen will be-
gin the construction Of new cottage
that will be~in readiness for the mem
bers of Congress when they arrive. The
new road is quite an addition to that
part of the country, and good progress
IS being made in its construction. The
fires seem to be growing mightier than
ever, for, when I was there. the lava
was not, apparently, more than two
hundred feet below the surface and
burning merrily. J number of Homo
lulu people were there spending a va
cation, and more were expected. II is
surprising to me that with all of the
difficulty persons have in getting trans
portation to the Coast. that more OF
them do not go to the Volcano House
for the change of climate. 1t can be
got there and for the cost of trip
one way to the Coast.
- Hilo is changing for the better, foI
the Hilo merchant has faith in the men
who are building the railroad and those
who opposed it few years ago ask
themselves why. The breakwater, too
is source of encouragement to the
people, for it win not be long before
big ships will be alongside the wharves
Improvements are plentiful, and you
| find new buildings going up or old one;
being improved all over town. The
| place is not on the boom; it is getting
| a growth that portends much for tn,

| place for vacation, whether it be 70
a week or season. It will give bael
strength to anyone who has lost it.''

Fiji Fiji ARE
FINE SOLDIERS
Officers OF st. Louis Praise
Skirted Warriors of
Samoa.

Orders to proceed to San Francisco
after finishing coaling at Honolulu and
making a special trip to Hilo, were re-
ceived aboard the e. S. cruiser St.
Louis yesterday morning shortly after
her arrival from Samoa. The cruiser
was originally intended to 60 back to
Bremerton. The rumor that the st.
Louis would be attached to the Pa
cifc fleet which is due here next month
has no foundation, as the st. Louis is
on a special cruise, practice cruise
the officers term it, and she has been
out long time already.
According to the executive officer,
the st. Louis had a smooth voyage
down and back, passing Suva, and
spending short time at Pago Page
in the American portion of the Sa-
moan archipelago. There were no
deaths or accidents to speak of during
the trip. Lieut.. Comdr. Guise, of the
station gunboat Annapolis at Page
Pago, died bfore the st. Louis arrived
there
The officers speak in the highest
terms of the company of Samoans or
ganized into what is known as the
Fiji Fiji, or local garrison. The men
are selected from among the Samoan
chiefs, who hold their positions dur
ing good behavior. Bad behavior for
feits their place in the ranks. They
are clothed in red turbans, blue loin
cloths and very short skirt. They
carry the regulations American rifle
and are expert in the manual of arms,
and in fact in any of the maneuvers
or drill required of all troops in the
service of Uncle Sam. They are paid
at the rate of about $18 per month
and are commanded by American naval
officers. They are picturesque body
OF men. and have been in the service
for several years.
The officers report that the volcano
on the island of Savaii is still in ac
tive eruption and belching forth lava
at terrific rate. The volcano has
steadily poured out lava for several
years and is forcing it far out into
the sea.
Officers also report that American
rule in Samoa is popular.
The St. Louis brought six iron bound
boxes containing $4,000 in. gold, cur
rency and silver, consigned to the
local postoffice, representing surplus
money orders issued from Page Page
and is the first remittance since May
/. The boxes were sent to the First
National Bank under guard and tbs
collections will be reported to Wash
ington by z. S. Inspector Hare.
There is talk of the cruiser, on leav
ing Honolulu, steaming to San Fran
cisco at full speed in order that the
engines may be given the hardest OF
tests.

A|RsH|P IS
SAID To BE 4 MARVEL

The airship invented by Mr.. hasaku
Uchida, the Japan Hochi says, seems
to have attracted the attention of the
world: The newly patented, airship has
three remarkable devices which the in
ferior contrivances of the effete West
are said to lack. One is an apparatus
for the utilization Of floating sur
face,n whatever that may be.
The second is an elastic spring, and
the third an apparatus for the steering
of the ship.
When the first apparatus is attached
to an airship, the speed and carrying
capacity can be increased by 90 per
cent. The second apparatus is used
for the increase of elasticity when the
airship reaches the ground. 1t Is SAID
that the shape of birds foot gave
Mr.. Uchida the point for this appara-
tus. BY the help of the third con-
trivance the ship can turn in any dlree-
ton it pleases and in the strongest
gale. In addition to this the newly
invented airship is to be equipped with
an apparatus which can freely destroy
the enemy's ships in warfare. THIS
apparatus consists of a number OF
blades by the use of which another air
ship can be rent to pieces. 1t IS now
Sup" to the japanese inventor to com
pete for the Daily Mail prize, when
ought to be his for the asking.
