Hnllt territory of tho United States and most important strate gically of the lands of the Pacific, is not alone interesting because of its military and naval value to Uncle Sam. emphasised some months ago by the deliberations nt Washington In regard to the world's greatest ocean. It 1b in many ways literally nn isiana paradise. Scarcely anywhere else in the woria may one roam through tropical Jungles with never a thought of poisonous in sects or Rnakcs. Such crenturcs do not exist la these fair islands. Even poison Ivy and similar noxious plants are unknown. And though in the edge of the tropics, Hawaii has n cooler temperature by ten degrees than nny other land In the same lati tudes. Moreover, one may chnngo his cllmnte nt will by a Journey of n few miles'; for tho northern half of each Island, swept by the trade winds, Is rainy nnd heavily wooded, whllo just over tho mountnln ridge Is n oner, wnrmcr region. In a wny. the United States may well thank Boston nnd Its daring traders and missionaries of tho early duys for the. fact that Hawaii now flies the Stars nnd Stripes rather thun the tri-color or tho British union Jack. A Spanish navigator first discovered the Islands in 1555, but his country laid no clnlm to them, and they were nrnctlcally forgotten. Tho British r'nntnln Cook vis ted the liawnunn Ish naval commander In the Pacific, realising tho strategic importance of the Hnwnilnn group, seised tho Is lands, but his country promptly dis avowed his net.

It was tho nrst of muny from the same port, carrying traders, whalers and adventurers; nna soon tho natives had learned of tho republic on tho continent to the cast, nnd enmc to consider tne -unitcu States" and "Boston" synonymous. Tho Boston traders found each of the islands under n separate king, with two rival rulers on nawnll, the largest of the islunds.

With this Ameri can help he became the "Napoleon ot tho Puclfic." conquering the otner is lands, nnd, ns Kamchnmclm I, ruled over tho consolidated kingdom. Hawaiian Trade Was Valuable. The Americans found the Hnwnilnn trade n good thing. They sold, the king and his nobles everything from clothes nnd jewelry to bllllnrd tnblcs and stenm ynchts, and In return cart ed away shiploads of vnluahle sundnl wood. Strong liquor was not forgot ten nmong the Imports, nnd In Hono lulu among the naturally light-hearted natives the Amcrlcnn sailors contrlb utcd to the creation of a gay Pacific resort, a sort of forerunnen of San Francisco's Bnrbnry Coast of Inter dec ades. Deserters from American ships, In the delightful haven of n bnrbnrous paradise, helped to heighten the fumo or tho Infamy of tho Honolulu of those dnys.

A shlnlond of missionaries, also from Boston, nrrlvcd In the Islnnds In 1820, much to tho disgust of tho traders as well as those who hnd deserted tho sen to tread Hawaii's prlmroso path. The complnlnt of tho traders was thnt the mlsslonnrlcs tnught the natives "the value of things," nnd so mnde trading unprofitable.

Gcnnnny was? seizing islands right and left In the Pnclfic, nnd the Hnwnllans wished to get tinder a sheltering wing.- Politics In the United States delayed action, nnd In tho meantime the Hepribllc of Hnwall was organized. Then In 1893, during the Spnnlsh-Amerlcan war, congress suddenly voted to make Ha waii American territory. Though tho Hnwnilnn Islands are known ns "the half-way hotifo of the Pacific," In reality tho distance from San Francisco to Honolulu Is only nbout half that from Honolulu to Aus tralia, tho Philippines- or Japan.

From n huge vent In the mountain's side, a flood of molt en lnva wns belched forth. Spread ing out Into n great shallow stream. It camo roaring down the mountain slope, burning forests, carrying huge trees and Immenso boulders on Its sur face sweeping everything before It. With a speed vnrjtaK from 1 to 20 miles nn hour, according to tho coun try it was passing over. It broadened out until It Was nearly a mile In width. After wiping out the government bolt road, razing telephone poles and de stroying a vast amount of property, tho red-hot lava tumbled over n high precipice nnd plunged hissing Into the sen nenrly 20 miles from Its source. In npproachlng the flow from the sen In tho enrly everting, the glow from the lavn wns visible for many miles. As ono drifted within 200 ynrds of tho point where the liquid rork was rushing Into the sen, the scene was nwo-lnsplrlng. Slowly tho smoky hnze from tho burning forests, which hung over the source 20 Wiles nwny, lifted nnd tho river of firo stood out In Its full glory. Leaping from pnll to val ley, rushing uphill nnd roaring down, tho fiery flood thundered down the mountnln slope, cnrrylng on Its bosom rocks ns big ns houses. As tho stream of blazing lavn nenred tho constllno, It appeared to gather moro speed, taking the final plunge over n 100-foot cliff nt a terrific rate, nnd looking for nil the world like n fiery Niagara.
