How IL Looked to Mark Twain.
Seen for the first time from the deck
Of a steamship Honolulu looks like
long stretch of beach and waterfront,
with harbor containing more or less
shipping, as the case may be-America's
sixteen battleship fleet called hero and
coaled on its cruise around the world !;
next one sees a section OF businesslike
buildings ana on either sloe tnereot
niles OF trees. backed by range Of hills
broken into by seven valleys or gulches
Above is what Mark Twain described
as remote SUBMITS floating like islands
above the cloud rack"
After landing, the newcomer is usually
surprised at the modern buildings and
q bit disappointed at the narrowness Of
the streets in the business section so
long ago laid out, and then he is de-
lighted beyond expression at the miles
OF smooth roadways lined with splendid
homes. II there is an architectural fea-
ture that predominates the larger resi-
dences II is the lanai. or veranda. Every
house has tie veranda, evidence of the
open air life of the occupants. The
most conspicuous and numerous tree Is
the palm, of many varieties. The most
brilliantly colored blossoms. all the year
round, are the bougainvillea purple.

The very rapid growth OF transpacific
trade has resulted in constantly increas-
ing efficiency of the steamship service on

OF the modern vessels plying the Pacific
fail 10 call at Honolulu, which has been
most aptly called 1.-The Cross Roads Of

Other scenes and places OF interest IN

Harbor naval station; the Bishop Mu-

est Polynesian chronological collection IN
the world; the Pail, bit of scenery OF
unsurpassed grandeur, and many drive
ways, the longest of which Is the trip

Besides being notably residence city,
Honolulu is a city Of churches and
schools The whole island Territory, IN
fact, is supplied with religious and ed
vocational institutions far beyond the
average in other places of similar popu-
Iation. This Is because OF the distinctly
missionary character of the early civil
ization, and because the descendants OF
the Identical families who frst landed
hundred years ago, coming around the
Horn from Boston to bring Christianity
to the Hawaiian, still hold Leadership In
island affairs, and continue the same pol
icies of benevolence. The leading fra
