Honolulu is sittlatod on the island
Oallu—not on Hawaii, as most people
imagine. I has a population of about
05,000. There is a good telephone ser-
vice in the city; the streets are lighted
by electricity, and tramcars run on the
principal streets. A short lino of railway
runs out to Pearl Harbor—eeveu miles
away. No one wbo has seen the beauti-
ful streets of Honolulu can ever forget
them—the magnificent rows of cocoa,
sago and royal palms ; the overhanging
tamarinds and "Prides of India" with
their scarlet tweets ; the stately bread•
trait trees and "lanhalas." The Iolani
Palace, which cost over $000,000, the
Parliament Buildings, Kemehameban
Schools and Queen Emma's Hospital are
all worthy of inspection and would be
creditable to any city in the world.
The Museum contains 0, fine collection
of Polynesian curiosities. Here we find
specimens of the great "memos" or
royal ;leaks, "kahilis" and "calabashes."

the natives ; while through the "hail -

about and sang her evening song. The
band often plays in front of the hotel ;
there is a large square in front with
many plum trues, algarobas and tamar•
inds, on the trunks of which are placed
twenty or thirty electric lights ; so on
oomceet nights the place is very brilliant,

Still, few visitors lose the opportunity
to engage one of these haoks to take them
out to seethe "Pali," an immense cliff,
six miles from Honolulu, and one of the
grandest sights in the way of scenery on
the island. The road gradually rises to
the height of 1,200 feet ; after passing
through "the fair Natma0 valley" it
stripes into a narrower gorge—where the
mountains rise on either side in steep
precipices, green with Perna and clinging
vines, and where little white mountain
owls soar among the jagged peaks, then
it takes a turn round a greab, red rook

Situated 2,100 miles from California,
4,000 from New Zealand and about the
same distance from Japan, the Hawaii-
an Islands are therefore nearly in the
centra of the Paoiflo Ocean and just
within the tropics. It totes six flays
and ahalf to reach the group from San
Francisco, and about thirteen days from
Auckland, New Zealand. There are
eight principal islands—all of voloanic
origin. The climate is delightful ; so
even that there is only about the differ-
ence of twelve degrees between midday
and midnight, and between Summer and
Winter ; the thermometer has not, within
the last ten years, registered higher than
900 in the shade, nor lower than 540
(on the sea -level.; The native race evi-
dently sprung from those wandering
tribes which left the shores of Asia fu
the second or in the third century ; cer-
tain it is that their traditions point to
the fact of their occupation of the islands
as early as the sixth century. From the
length
year 1095 (giving an approximate len g
of time to each ruler) the Hawaiians
have had an unbroken line of sovereigns
—down to the present year. In 1542 the
group was discovered by Gteta110, a
Spanish navigator, and there is a legend
that two ships ware wrecked on the larg-
est island, Ow•hy-bee, about 1027, end
the sailors were compelled to remain and
to intermarry with the natives, Captain
Cook landed at Kea1a1akua Bay, on the
West coast of Hawaii, in 1770, and there
he was killed. Kamehameha I. conquer-
ed the entire archipelago in 1795, and a
kingdom it has been ever since. In 1819
the people renounced the ancient well•
Bion ; the first missionaries arrived in
the same year and christianized the in-
habitants of nearly all the islands—nl-
thougb there are still many natives who
worship, in secret, the idols of their fore.
fathers. The independence of the conn•
try was acknowledged in 1813. Although
the Islands were twice captured—onto by
the French and once by the English—the
aots were done in error and an apology
was tendered the Hawaiian government
by England and Franca Certain Ameri-
cans attempted to do the same thing in
1855 but the English and French consuls
protested that it would be in contraven-
tion of treaties.
The alleged "revolution" of the present
year was projected and carried out by a
ring of sugar -planters and adventurers,
under the protection of the then United
States Minister, Stevens, assisted by
American marines and bluejackets from
the man-of•war "Boston." Queen Lill,
onkeloni wished to form a better kind of
government than that which had been in
power during the past few years , and
one which would give the natives the,
preference ; bet when her Hawaiian
Majesty promulgated the new constitu-
tion the revolutionists deposed the queen
and established a "provisional' govern•
ment. (Which meant that they would
still provide themselves with big salar-
ies 1) The cost of administrating the
affairs of tide little kingdom had been
something enormons—ubont a million
dollars a year. The heads of depart-

lute were $05,000 ; Department of for-
eign affairs, $217,000 ; Department of
Finance, $851,000 ; and the Department
of the Interior no less than $2,646,170 ;
while there was an "appropriation" for
"Miscellaneous Matters" to the extent of
$183,000 ; and still another "contingent"
amounting to 556,000. It would be in-
teresting to know how much of this went
into the pockets of the natives I Presi-
dent Cleveland has shown wisdom in
ordering the Hawaiian flag to replace the
stare and stripes.

the opposite side of the island, is a town
of about 8,000 inhabitants. There is a
saying among sailors on the Pacific .—
"follow a rainstorm and it will take you

are on this island.
Manna Sieg (the white mountain)3s
extinct ; but Mauna Loa (the long
mountain) has been very motive within
the last few yours. One of .the most
destructive eruptions was the famous
"mlcl.flow" of 1858. A large fissure,
half a mile wide, opened in the side of
this mountain at an elevation of about
5,000 feet, and a stream of hot mild and
lava poured out and flowed down to the
sea shore, carrying all before it. It is
said to have travelled at the rate of
twenty-four miles an hour. Besides
cattle, horses, sheep and goats, eighty-
one
ightyone human lives were lost. In 1881
another eruption oocurred ; but this was
vertical—coming from the summit.
The people of Hilo saw the molten lava
slowly descending the side of the moun-
tain, dividing itself into two atreems—
one part burning down towards Waimea,
the other coming on in the direction of
Hilo. It travelled at the rate of 75 feet
an hour --slowly but surely ; nine
months after the outbreak it reached
witbiu three-gnarters of a mils of Hilo ;
there, fortunately, it stopped.
On a shoulder of Manna Loa—twenty
miles to the east—is the active volcano
of Kilauea. In ancient days this woe
supposed to be the home of the greatest
and most terrible, as well es the most
beautiful of the Hawaiian deities—Pelt,
the goddess of volcanoes. Kitimat is
over 4,000 feet above the sea -level, and
about 26 miles from the coast, by road.
The great crater is two and a half miles
in width and nearly four miles in length.
It is a huge, sunken pit, five hundred feet
deep. Nothing can be more desolate

cracks appearing here and there, flashing
now crimson, now gold, as the great
cakes floatof, to be swallowed up in the

lava at the edge will open and curl bank

masses will heave up and furl over, as
