THE ATLANTIC PASSAGEBYA AIR

provement upon George Kulbeeh's.
And what glorious voyage that
would be! How puny and flat Jules
Verne's dash around the earth in 80
days by steamship and railroad train
and other mediums of travel! From
Para up the Amazon and over the
Andes Cooking down at Quito;
thence across the spacious Pacific,
past Christmas and the Gilbert
Islands, sighting New Guinea, over
the spice waited Celebes and the
jungle of Borneo to the Straits Set
Elements: through the Indian ocean
to British East Africa. and right
across the Dark Continent to the Gulf
of Guinea, and back to Para! What
aviator with an imagination would
desire another route by sea and
land? z .
OF course the time is coming when
the stabilized aeroplane will be as
safe and familiar as the automobile
that creeps (by comparison) on the
face of the earth. There viii be
round the world trips and excursions
in 10 to 20 days with stops to see the
historic places and rude half nude
people of the otherwise inaccessible
wilderness. Everywhere will be aero
dromes marked by flags and lights to
welcome the air voyager. Friday to
Monday trips to England and the Eu.
ropean continent will be common
places. Vacations will be spent in
the air, with landings when desired
or Necessary. Doctors will prescribe
the aeroplane for insomnia and other
ailments. 1t will be great world,
and everybody securing the upper
currents will say: This is the life. -

THE MOVIE FAN.

His life, by day, is dull and gray,
A task-bound round OF duties mean,
Adventures and romances gay
Have passed him by; no stirring
scene
Or magic moment comes to sway
This Philistine.
But when night cancels days demands,
No more clod Of sodden mien,
A tireless yenturer he stands
In Fancy's sumptuous demesne:
Midst gacial foes and coral strands
Or isles of green,
He trysts with lovers. then, and shares
The fools mad mirth, the villains
spleen;
A part in intrigues dark he bears
With cringing serf and pompous
queen;
In.chariot his spirit fares,
Z And submarine.
And ali! the duilness of his lot
Those sordid days, so romancelean,
Are naught to him, for does hesnot
Collect his heritage of keen
Adventure, love and stirring plot
Upon the screen?

packets Of grass clipped from the
hillsides Of Oahu.
A. 8. Hitchcock Is at work on the
specimens he has gathered in the few
weeks he has been here, separating,
classifying and labelling them. He has
gathered some three score varieties
OF grass, OF which more than dozen
are native to Oahu or the islands.
Many of the imported grasses which
he has secured are extremely rare
and he has taken as many as fifty
specimens, each of which will be
carefully wrapped and labeled and
either sent off Immediately or pre-
served for future exchange with other
scientific institutions.
DIR. Hitchcock, as has been told in
the Star-Bulletin, is the leading active
grass expert of the world and has
been sent here by the federal govern
ment to study and classify the grasses
OF Hawaii and to endeavor, incident
ally, to find a forage grass which
can be successfully cultivated for
army use.
He returned late last week from a
ten days journey into the Kaala
mountains, near Schofield, in company
with his son, who is assisting him in
his work here, and a party of soldiers.
Next week he leaves for Hawaii, to
spend month on the Big Island.
