~ Y1NG two thousand miles south
west Of California are the Ha-
waiian Islands, which for the
- past seventeen years have
formed part OF the United States and
are the gateway through which passes
most of the traffic of the Orient and
to Australia. Their situation makes
them of great strategic and CONNER
cial value to our country
They are Interesting from a geolog-
zeal standpoint from the fact that they
arose out OF midocean by the deposit
Of lava which flowed from the assures
IN the earth's crust in the bottom of
the sea. Kauai, the most northerly Of
the islands is the Oldest, while Hawaii,
on the southeast. is still in the process
of building by the frequent eruptions
of the Kilauea volcano. Biologists
declare that ages ago tho islands were
all lofty. with sloping mountains but
these slopes have been worn by
streams on the leeward side into deep
valleys and ravines. and on the wind
ward side have been literally cut away
by rains and winds so that the noun
tains now rise in sheer cliffs of hun
ldreds Of feet from the sea.
/. The early history of the country is
purely a legend although human be-
ling inhabited them as far back as 500
"a. D.-a fact proved by the discovery
of human bones under ancient coral
beds and lava. Evidence which goes

There was no written language and
the history up to the time Of the dis
lcovery Of the islands by Captain Cook
in 1878, has been traced by picture
writing and characters apparently de-
kpicting historical events. King Kane

One of the Interesting circumstances
in connection with that wave Of in

who have been swept into prominence
on Its crest are trained scientists.
Perhaps the very best ILLUSTRATION
OF this has occurred only recently at
the United States Pension once. In
minor position in the Disbursing
Office of the Pension Office was en-
lployed F. w. Darlington, a young man
who had done nothing to enlist the
attention OF his superiors and seemed
chained to a very small salary. Car
