Our WATER supply.

The scarrity OF water IN the stream which sup
plies he reservoir on which the city depends. is
becoming each dry season more serious ques-
ton, and one which must soon be met and pro-
vi5ei for. That there is less water flowing from
Nua4Bp Valley daring the dry summer months
now ihas formerly, when the valley and the
mountains around it were more densely covered
with shrubbery, is apparent 10 all who can re-
member the condition Of the stream twenty-five
or ereH twenty years sgo. The destruction OF
the woods with which nature clothes our hill sides.
nav rot affect the annual amount OF rainfall to
The extent claimed, but il does cause decrease
Of water during the dry months, when no rain
Ials. But leaving this subject settled, the
qsessi01 comes Up, how shall We provide for the
future water supply Of the eiiyl The simplest
usy is TO ind new source and the best and
only available oEe is ManOs Valley. Il viii take
tine Had cost money to construct the necessary
works, bat when once done the investment will
prove Ike those already made here. the most pro-
Stsble that government possesses. Water works
are 10 every country considered the safest and
best investment 10 be found. The shares Of the
Oldest London water supply company. which cost
originally one hundred dollars, cannot be had for
as many thousands. Philadelphia has found the
demand Increase 60 rapidly that she has decided
to build new and larger reservoir to cover one
hundred and four acres of ground tbs largest ever
built
The cost Of procuring the water supply from
MaDoa should not exceed twenty thousand dol
lars, and 1t can probably be brought over the
ridge directly back Of Punahou College. which
will give it higher elevation than the old Nuu-
anu reservoir One effect Of this introduction of
water from Msnoa would be to cause groves to
sPn1g up OF the Kahua plains, and change the
face Of the coantry to the eastward Of the city.
Toe supply Of water to-day 10 the Manos stream
is about the same Is in wet seasons. simply be-
cause the bills surrounding the valley have not
been dsnuded by cattle and woodmen TO the
same extent as those OF Nuuanu have.

Our article 90 the great heat Of other coun-
tries. as compared with our own comparatively
mid climate. has led 10 some discussion as to
what country produces the greatest heat A
gentleman who spent several years in South Aus
tralia informs Us that while in Adelaide be has
known the thermometer to rise to l62 and
1888. This occurs during the midsummer month
OF February, when the wind sweeps down from
the Central Australian deserts ike hot blasts
from furnace. In February 1871. the thermo-
meter 10 Melbourne is said to have risen to 1902.
The heat of these interior sand plains Of the Aus
trslisn continent is most extraordinary. When
Capt Sturts expedition undertook to explore
them, the Thermometers burst from the intense
heat aud their pack animals died, compelling
them to return without accomplishing the OBJ
jeet Tor which the expedition was sent out. We
must coHcede to Australia the palm OF possess
ing the hottest climate known on this earth.
The Inhabitants Of London have been treated
to term Of very warm weather for that city
during which the thermometer rose TO $50. The
Daily Nstcs refers to this in the following:
i" Two or three weeks ago every one was wonder
ing at the chilly air and the gray skies Of our
July, aud for the past few days Of the same July
We have had nothing bat calculations Of surprise
and dismay at the insuferable heat. In other
climates the heat comes in its regular time, like
the bursting Of the bud or the falling Of the
leaves. Every one is prepared for it. Social
life and business habits gradually shape them
selves to meet its approach, aud people lapse al
most insensibly into the midst Of summer as into
the descent Of autumn. But there seems no par
ticular reason discoversble even Of weather pro-
phets Why there must be intense heat 10 one week
Of JAY. when perhaps there was all the rigor Of
q late szd ungeuial spring in the week which just
preceded it. London. therefore, under the iu-
f1enee Of such season ss that which has SO
lately visited Us. seems to undergo sort Of meta.
norphosis The transformation scene Of pam
tomine hardly shows more sudden and striking
change Mea who we're sober citizens Of sombre
the day before yesterday are now clothed
al 10 white like yestals, or the shseted dead that
on memorable occasion did squeak and gibber
in the Roman streets. People sEathe their hats
in bandages Of linen until they look like mourn
ere suddenly bleachsd. The white or yellow slip
pers. sacred TO the tropics and the seaside, be-
come familiar spparitiOns in Whitehall aud Re
gent street Huge umbrellas are hoisted over
The heads Of the painting wayfsrers to house or
,Iub. Everybody seems inclined to make 4 sort
Of parade Of his defeuces against The weather.
London. apparently, lie resolved to show that she
really can and does suffer from the sun. She is
proud Of playing at tropical life even for few

Coaee and EucaIxptur.

Persons who have lately visited Kona report
that the coffee trees look as healthy and vigorous
as they did twenty years ago. 1t is "a beautiful
sight to see them laden down with their rich red
berries, which produce the finest beverage known
ia the world The disappearance of the blight
will give impetus to coffee planting. bot coffee
growers should not forget to plant shade trees
with them, and there is none that promises so
coed results or is so easily cultivated as the eu-
ealypius. 10 KODa it grows With extraordinary
apidity. as can be seen in Mr.. Hughes place.
where there are several trees forty Eve high. and
not yet three years old. Why. grove of these
trees il ten years viii yield handsome return
as frsSood. The seeds can be obtained by ap-
pIication at the foreign once. and We cannot too
strongly urge our frieads in Kona and other eof-
fee sections to plant all they can among their
coffee trees.

We insert on our last page letter copied from
the New York Grgphic, giving az account Of
this disease in California. Although we do no;
credit al the statements made and doubt not that
it Is somewhat orerdrsHn. yet the writer is so
particular in his Details that the reader will OBJ
tain the impression that be is familiar with the
subject OF which he writes. a Dr. ODonnell" is
evidently an assumed name, a. no such person Is
known TO have Practiced here during the past
twenty years- That leprosy exists in California
is undsniable, and the sane is true Of the vsri-
o1s Central American states, Peru. and Chile.
The disease exists there without the public know
ing It's extent, the patients generally being kept
seeluded, as they should be, BY their friends Its
origin Is undoubtedly Asiatic, Is it prevails ex-
tsuzvely 10 India, China. and other countries Of
that continent To eonfne il there is impossibls,
90 long as commerce With those countries is
maintained. and their suthoriues take no special
measures to prevent the departure Of those who
may be tainted with it. Every government

A Remarkable Tree.

The interesting communication, in another
column, from the pen of gentleman who has
long been familiar with the slgaroba, to which We
have lately referred will be read with pleasure
by all. 1t has been known among Us chiefly
as shade tree of rapid growth, aud adapted to
the most arid soils, but otherwise supposed TO be
of little value. Our correspondent, however, tells
Us different story, aud proves beyond doubt
that il is one Of the most valuable trees grown.
Those who have watched its pecuarities here.

from their own observations. If this tree could
be propagated on the dry plains which connect
West and East Maui, or on the Waimea (HawaiD
plains, forest Of them nigh; 10 few years COW
err those now barren and worthless tracts. But
before this can be done, the cattle that now roam
over them destroying everything under their feet,

algarOba are now very abundant 10 Honolulu, aud
can be gathered by the bushel.
