THE LEPER ISLAND OF MoLoKAI.

Few travellers are familiar with the island of Molokai, the fifth in size of the Hawaiian Islands, and to them probably the name signifies little ex- eept as that of a United States leper settlement. In the more inaccessible parts of the island, however, the seen. cry is wonderful. and there are many interesting facts to be learned about this small island which was formed in the Pacific Ocean by two volca- noes.
 Practically the whole southern coast of NoIokai is fr1nged by a coral reef from half a, mile to a mile wide. The parts Nof this reef that, lie near the main gulcIaes are gradually being fll- ed with mud. and thus the. island is slowly growing out southward. The soil is nearly eyerywhere fertile. but
