An application for a patent on the structure, which is painted to give detailed resemblance to the fruit, has been forwarded to Wash ington by the pineapple company.
Pineapples have become a sym- hol of these islands and also of Hawaiian hospitalily, as they are the principal gift of the "hooku- pu," native ceremony at welcome. For these reasons, the world's largest pineapple will stand as a welcoming tower for incoming
steamers. .
The pineapple crest has been re- constructed on the tower in the form of a 6-lon steel topping
The huge pineapple is used solely as the principal source of supply for the plant's automatic sprinkler system. The bottom of the frult is 135 feet above ground. Its weight, full of water, is 470 tona.'
