THE COUNTRY BECOMING KNOWN.
Knowledge of countries other than
their own has in a measure to be
forced upon a majority of the people
of the world. There is no necessity,
however much excuse there may be,
for reading publics abroad being in
ignorance of this country. When
we remember, however, that even
among reading people a certain pro
portion do not run to works of
travel, and that, of those who do,
many do not come across books
descriptive of this country, the
Hawaiian Islands are probably as
well-known iu other countries as we
..have a right to expect. At all
events, it is safe to say that this
Kingdom does not stand alone in
the erroneous impressions of it ex
isting abroad. People are so ready
to jump at conclusions from scanty
evidence, and fo liable to retain
views once correct but now obsolete,
that it is not to be wondered at that
the most prevalent ideas of the Ha
waiian Islands and their inhabitants
have been formed from the mission
ary and maritime annals of twenty
years ago. Books that .entertain the
masses arc more widely circulated
and live longer off the shelves of stand
ard libraries than.works of bald infor
mation or dry science. Thus it comes
that even very recently, and to some
extent at this very day, notions of
life in the United States and Canada
held in the Old World, were those
gained from the thrilling talcs of
border-life in the period of civiliza
tion's early struggles in the "Western
Hemisphere. Nova Scotians at the
London Universal Exposition of
18G2 were disgusted to hear their
English fellow-subjects ask, respect
ing certain creditable articles of their
manufacture, if they were made by
"the natives," the Indians being
meant.
Evidences arc increasing that this
country is becoming better known
throughout the world that all the
agencies extant for making it so are
beginuing to have their due effect.
Among those agencies tho chief ones
are the widespread business and
trade communications, tho elaborate
consular representation, the news
papers and letters sent hence
throughout the earth, the books anil
pictures upon Hawaiian subjects
going forth in au increasing stream,
the testimony concerning us dissemi
nated by the ninny ni lists and people
of leisure and of letters whom the
unique attractions of this group draw
for a longer or shorter sojourn. It
is truo that our newspapers may
exaggerate the evil conditions of
business or residence here; letter-
T
writers, with the human love of
creating surprise, may dwell too
much upon lite lollcs of ilcpatting
barbarism and reserve the evidences
of rapidly maslcning civilization ;
the most competent nnd impaitinl
observers may fall to nppichcnd Ihu
genius of much that they sec and
hear : but from so many sources of
information people abroad, who take
sttftlcicnt interest iu other countries
to look into their lives aud progress,
may strike a very fair average of the
conditions of life and civilization,
the resources and the prospects,
which obtain in this Kingdom.
Every well-wisher of the country
should do his and her part in pro
pagating accurate ideas concerning
it. It is to the intcicst of all who
have made these Islands Uicir home
to make their felicitous climate,
their kindly soil, their opportunities
of sustenance nnd wealth, their
beautiful physical features, known
to the utmost extent. There arc
broad streaks of promise for a very
important and prosperous future
gleaming in the Hawaiian horizon.
Soon Victoria, on the Canadian
Coast, will be striving for admittance
to competition for our commerce
with San Francisco. A line of
steamers is proWiscd to include
Honolulu in the route from Victoria
to Australasia, and another to em
brace us in the trafllc that is going
to spring up between the Orient and
Europe across the Dominion. Sub
marine telegraphic communication
with the rest of the world will likely
soon revolutionize our commerce and
bring us into much closer sympathy
with the outside world. Our people
arc every day becoming more con
vinced that not a tithe of our agri
cultural and manufacturing resources-have
been developed. Treaty or
no treaty, the country is bound to go
ahead, if only its people evince
pluck, and courage, and enterprise,
aud fidelity to themselves. Never
before was it more necessary to
have the councils of the nation in
spired by patriotism, guided by
wisdom, and guarded from the depre
dations of sordid self-seekers.
MODERN THEORY OF CORAL REEFS.
A splendid audience, including
His Majesty the King and most of
the distinguished visitors to the city,
had assembled in Association Hall
last evening at the hour announced
for Professor Agassiz' lecture on
"The Modern Theory of Coral
Reefs." The Hon. S. B. Dole,
President of the Library Associa
tion, introduced, the lecturer .in a
few happy words. .
Prof. Agassiz went straight at his
subject, using simple language with
out the slightest affectation. There
was more of a charm than anything
else in his foreign pronunciation.
He said it was not often he had the
opportunity of peaking to an
audience that knew anything about
coral reefs. The coral was not an
insect, as popularly supposed, but a
small marine animal allied to the
star lish, shell-fish, etc. He showed,
by diagrams on the blackboard, the
mode of growth of different kinds
of coral, further illustrating his ex
planations with specimens of the
pelrilied article. In the branch
coral each hole represented one of
the constituent animals, aud in the
brain coral each of the sinuosities
there displayed. Seen under the
magnifying glass the animal was el
liptical in form, having a digestive
cavity in the centre, held up by
walls radiating to the outside. On
these walls eggs grow, which soon
became perfect animals. Thus
colonies were formed, and taking on
deposits of lime became the clusters
of coral. The brain coral grew by
the long tentacles that distinguished
its species adhering in clusters aud
becoming also petrified by deposits
of limestone. Tho coral animals do
not form colonics in deeper water
than fifty fathoms, below that being
found only as individuals. To ac
count for the large number of coral
islands in the Pacific, under those
conditions, a German naturalist,
with the Russian navigator Kotzc
buc, propounded the idea that a
scries of eruptions had taken place
in the ocean bed, throwing up peaks
and craters to a height where the
coral could begin building. The
difficulty with this theory was that
the amount of limestone deposited
by tho coral was iu no case much
more than 90 feet, and it was strange
that there should hnve been so many
peaks thrown up to so ncccssnilly a
uniform height throughout the
Pacific. Darwin had an entirely
different theory, which was that the
bases for coral operations were the
higher elevations of n subsided con
tinent. By an elaborate and very
clear explanation of thu different
kinds of coral reefs, including a
description of those on these Islands,
he showed that Darwin's theory was
not necessary, to say thu least, in
solving the question. Professor
Agassiz then gave the audience an
account of his deep sea investiga
tions in the Gulfs of Mexico nnd of
Florida, and of his examinations of
coral formations in the Antilles and
the Florida Keys. He showed thai
the map did not give the real con
tour of the continent at the penin
sula of Florida, as coral reefs ex
tended far out to sea and were
covered with very little water.
Coral reefs were invariably found
in strong ocean currents, and the
lecturer showed how atols, or ringed
islands, were formed by the inlltt
ence of wind and sea upon coral
formation. They arc therefore not
dependent upon the craters of vol
canoes for their bases. Professor
Agassiz' deep sea dredgings showed
him that vast deposits of lime were
continually being made upon the
bottom of the ocean by marine ani
mals. In places the limestone beds
so formed came up to the requisite
height for the beginning of coral
building. Once the coral reached
low water mail; it died, and could
go no higher, for a few minutes ex
posure out of water was fatal to it.
But the waves washed up additions
of coral broken off from the lower
parts, and piled up all sorts of ocean
debris, and so islands rose above
the waters. There were instances
on these Islands where sand dunes
were piled up from 100 to 150 feet by
the winds and waves. In conclud
ing he eloquently argued that it was
better to accept causes for the origin
of new land formations in the agen
cies we saw operating around us
every day, than to seek them in the
extraordinary convulsions of nature
or abnormal conditions, except
where those clearly displayed them
selves. Dr. Hyde moved a vote of
thanks to the lecturer, which was
heartily passed by a rising vote.
The receipts at the door were $104,
which will leave a handsome bene
fit to the Library and Reading Room
Association.
