Something has gone wrong with the
attendance at the Al Club as .yester-
day and last week there were but q
corporal's guard present to hear seve,
raj Of the most Interesting talks tina:
have ever been made at the luncheons
of the organization. ~" us .
At the meeting yesterday two Of the
speakers failed to materialize. Henri
81. Goar sent his regrets as he was
III. and Arthur Dole Of Chicago. left
for the Volcano and sent his speech 10
be read for him. Professor Vaughan
MacCanghey was present however, and
for three quarters Of m hour had his
hearers very mneh Interested in his
IDEAS Of how the Islands could be given
a new kind Of publicity which so fai
had never been touched upon.
Wonders Ignored 49,. a
Prof Maccaughey told Of how the
beauty and wealth Of the islands has
been written about and how the cleai
skies and sunny shores have been de
Picted, but the real natural wonders
Of the Islands had not been gone into
at all, he said. What nature has done
for the place through long spaces Of
time has never been brought out, he
added. and almost everyone is interest
cd In the things of nature. The story
Of how Molokai IL but half Of what
was once q very much larger island
and of what became of the other part
which must have disappeared in the
sea would interest people continued the
professor, but they never hear of the
sland, save as a place where leper'
live. i ~ ~
The Islands sticking up out Of tho
ocean are mot generally known to have
been part Of southern continent anf
the record Of the deep sea sounding'
show that Hawaii might once have had
4 southern extension.
A Fruitful Field Also
I. The bird fish and insect life of Ha
wall is fruitful field for exploitation
said the speaker, and the fact that
many Of the strangers and some of thl
residents sometimes bemoan the lacl
Of native bird life in the islands II
remarkable because many species oi
birds native to Hawaii are still to. b'
found in the monptkins il one cares II
60 after them. r IS. So
st'Hawaii is remarkably rich in it,
natural history material" said thu
speaker. in summing up. "But thu
bulk of this has never been capitalized
at its legitimate publicity value. 9 III
dividend producing capacity in term
IF human enjoyment and interest il
capable Of great increase." ~"
