But there is plenty
to fill one's
thoughts and occupy one's bodily and
mental vigor without attempting to
cross to that clouoland. We walked a
mile or so to the south, and every step
opened up new vistas, showed us new
and undreamed-of effects of color, vari
ety In lava formations and degrees in
the superlative of roughness, wildness,
desolation and awe. We ventured over
the same path and found the panorama

before, it was always fascinating, al-
ways varied, always telling of a fearful
rast. 1
And still in the middle distance nat

and beyond the craters raggeu euges
were endless folds of the great white
robes. Cloudland was Deiow us.
far as the eye could see, its rolling hills
and sleepy valleys, its peace and quiet,
filled all space. Not a movement, not
a change in perspective or color. And
yet turn from the south to the north
and turn back again, and lo! the weird
ghostland was made over anew. Far
to the southeast we looked for Hawaii
and Its great domes ror a iong wme
vain and then, of a sudden, under our
very eyes, the billowy mass of white
seemed to shadow forth the long, grace
ful sweep of Mauna Loa and Mauna
Kea, very dim t first until the rays of
the setting sun touched them with their
rich tints and discovered them as with
the alchemists magic wand to our ad
miring vision.
We circled the horizon wim our eag?r
es the mountain slope vanished into
the white citv: clouds that were mue
deep, clouds that filled the universe
with dream faces, specter ships, silver
ed cascades, palaces apd pearl clouds
that reflected clouds, duplicating and
manifolding each other until the eye
wearied of its attempt to find either
beginning or ending to any of the

from a distance that seemed almost be-

through that diaphanous mass. A sec

time that Is measured by fleetest
thought, our cloudland was glowing and
pulsing with the glory of the sun. Our,

death, perhaps, but nothing but the
mystery of our own imaginings could
break that peace. The clouds still
banked the horizon and hid the moun
tain slopes below us. Hawaii and
the otner isiandg the picturesque peaks
of western Maui, the cane fields and
otner evidences of the presence of man,
all land and gea were ost Then the
miracie happened of which we had read,
which we had come to see the sun
roge, Jugt a suapIcion of color at first,
like a kis3 upon. Urs eoJd in death. We
could not feel its warmth. We could
scarciy credit
its promises. But, as
the native legend has it, the sun was
already trapped, and through the
masses of billowy white that had con
cealed King Maui's workers and must
have fooled the lord of day as it did us,
appeared their many colored ribands
of beaten brass and gold, of lustrous
and pearl-broidered silk, fibrous ropes
and nets of sapphire, ruby, amethyst
and indestructible gems. With gentle.
persuasive, irresistible force they drew
the sun from out the hot South seas,
fresh and glowing from his morning
bath, and brought him captive to make
a golden crown for good King Maui
and warm and vivify this beautiful but
death-cold charnel house and make of
it a veritable Haleakala, the house of
the sun.
There is one phenomenon that usual-
,y occurs here at sunset which is as
unique as it is beautiful.
The change in the air currents causes
the cloud banks to unroll and unfold,
and following the rising strata of
warmer atmosphere, they come billow
ing, flowing and tumbling through the
east gap and spread out through the
width and length of tie great crater
. for all the world like a lot of fat, fleecy
' merinos piling through a narrow en
trance into an ocean wharf pen.
Authentic accounts have also been
Riven by the tourists of the "Spectre
Brocken," the phenomenon that is seen
at certain conjunctions of sun and cloud
and mist when the shadows of the ob
servers standing on the crater's edge
are projected in enlarged and even
gigantic form upon the white masses
on the other side of the crater.

It was the opinion of the members of
the committee that the necessary flume
and ditches would cost not more than
$30,000, and the recommendation was
that this company be formed at once.
It was upon this representation that
the stockholders decided to ask the
committee to work upon the plan for
two months, when another meeting will
be held for the purpose of hearing the
supplemental report.
Many stockholders of the company,
among them some of the largest and

the advancing of the necessary funds
for the purpose of arranging the water

SEWER PIPING
Discovery at Judiciary Building
Reveals Odd State of
Affairs.
Hundreds of feet of earthen sewer
piping is being removed from the Judi
ciary grounds and replaced with Iron
pipe, the Joints being closed with solder.
For sometime past waste water has not
flowed freely from the Judiciary Build
ing through the piping and an investi
gation showed it had become clogged,
E. R. Bath, the plumber, who has naa

1 tured the opinion that the roots of trees

caused tne trouDie.

bare, roots were seen to have penetrated
the cement joints, and when several
lengths were broken out they contained
root vegetation inside which almost
filled the pipe. In some cases the roots
inside had become matted and when
the pipe was broken away the growth
retained the circular form of the cov
ering. j The roots came from palm, monkey-
pod and banyan trees ana air. ram

feet to enter the pipe. He explains
thj3 pecuiiarity with the statement that
with earthen pipe and cement Joints a
moisture Is prevalent along the route of j
the pipe and toward this tne roois
travel to absorb it. Tiny shoots pene-
rifri tVio ri-TTitint ana w nen once in

taken by Williams of seera g
!of piping which had been broken open
!to show the interior growths, and
'photographs were also taken of the
manner In which the roots had made
j their way inside.
I A short time since Mr. Bath removed
'several hundred feet of the same kind
of piping from a residence and grounds
at Waikiki, the piping having become
clogged and matted with vegetation. A
resident who was about to put In earth
en sewer pipe on his premises was ask
ed by Mr. Bath if there were trees and
plants growing there. When answered
in the affirmative, Mr. Bath told him
it would be throwing money away to
use anything but iron pipes as tne roots
would surely make their way inside
cement jointeu pipes.
It is bc-lievea that much of the trou-
ble about town wim sewtr newe
