(By Lorrin A. Thurston)

by Lorrin A. ThurStOn)
A hundred acre ampitheater of level,
luscious Kentucky blue grass, gently
sloping up to a park-like grove of
livid green trees varied in shade and
refreshing in tone-such as is found
only in the tropics.
On three sides of the scene, gray
messed precipices streaked with green
ferns, vines and shrubs, rising pinacle
above pinacle, 1900, 1900 and 1900 feet
Down the face of the precipices wa
ter courses etched deeply into the
rock; down every water course a
white ribbon of rushing water; IA of
the courses with sufficiently large
streams to form distinct waterfalls,
divided into from two 10 five sections,
topmost disappearing into the lace
like clouds swirling around the high
est peaks.
The sound of rushing, falling waters
filling the air; the many streams con
c%entrating into a central, green-bord-
cred pool.
The air of a crisp GOODNESS incident
to an elevation above the sea of $500
feet, tempered by the soft balminess
of a gentle trade wind!
No imaginary Scene
Where is this imaginary mixture
Of tropic verdure and Alpine grand.
eur?
Imaginary nothing! 1t lies within
90 hours easy travel from the corner
of Fort and King streets, Honolulu.
That is the time it took me to get
there q week ago today.
Another scene-the barrenness of
desolation! An endless, tangled
succession of giant volcanic cones
thirteen of them, varying from 400 to
$50 feet a height-one as high as
Diamond Head. scattered over a roll
ing plain of sand and scoria, with
jagged "a flows, twisting and winding
about and between them, interpreted
with perpendicular sided "bottomless'
pits, or wells and blow holes of fiery
red and velvety blackness.
Distorted fragments of banks of
ancient lava lakes, now drained, but
looking as fresh as the banks of the
living lakes now boiling and throbbing
in Kilauea.
Volcanic Bombs
Areas adjoinir The cones GOVERN
hundreds of az. es of "spatter lava
small as ones little 1ngernail, rangin,

in diameter, which not many years
ago were rained down from overhead
after having been explosiyely elected
from the poisonous looking craters
which form the core of every cone.
The cones formed of volcano sand
spatter lava, as steep as 1t will stand;
as smooth and regular, and not unlike
in shape, as a matched house of
ancient Hawaiian model.
Each con a color and shade itself
one gray, the next black, another
red with a neighbor of purple, and
again combinations in streaks and
patches of all colors and shades grad
ing softly or abruptly one into another
Last Stand Of Silver Sword
Dotting the steep slopes of the
cones, Silver sword" plants making
their last stand against determination
by beast and man, sparkling in the
sunshine like frosted silver.
In the background, on all sides ris-
ing from 1900 to 5000 feet, frowning
cliffs. ribbed by projecting ridges,

dom to efficiently and adequately
serve his generation.
Solomon asked for knowledge, the
speaker continued knowledge is
more than wisdom; knowledge is an
education. Education, from a tech
