CORAL LANDS. The author spent some time in the Polynesian islands, and much of the information about the natives and lands which he offers was obtained first hand. He begins with an interesting description of Hawaii, particularly illustrating the situation of Chinese immigrants on the islands and how their treatment differs from in California. He closes with "Hints for Capitalists," suggesting the best ways to make money from the Pacific islands. An unusual mélange of travelogue, ethnography, and commercial analysis.
