Southwest.
A century since the Hawaiians were
savages and cannibals. Now there are
over 800 telephone wires in use in the
city of Honolulu, and the application of
the telephone is made throughout the

night with the aid of electric light.
The practicability of photographing
landscapes from the windows Of train
running at the rate of forty miles an
hour has been recently proved by DR..
Candize, who uses what he calls gyro-
graph for the purpose. An exposure of
only one one-hundredth of second was
needed, and after little practice won
derfully distinct views were obtained.
With 10000 square miles of almost
unbroken forests, it is estimated that in
ten years the timber in North Carolina
will exceed in value the present total
valuation of all the property and land
in the state. This region will be rapid
ly opened to the Northern and Eastern
lumber markets when the new railroads
are constructed.
An extremely atfectionate husband
and wife at Larrabee, Ca, do not mean
to be separated in death. They have
had coffin made wide enough for two,
and grave dug to hold it. Their plan
is that when one dies the other shall i'm
mediately commit suicide, so that their
bodies may be buried at the same time,
while their souls simultaneously enter
eternity.
Missouri is about to spend $4,000 in
finding out about herself. She suspects
that she contains some of the richest
ores on earth, and a geologist is to make
a thorough investigation. Her soil is
peculiarly rich, and has commonly been
regarded as decomposition Of lime
stone and sandstone, but scientific an
alysiy will now for the first time deter
mine the question.
The Conciergerie, where Prince Ma

awaiting his trial before the Chamber

What is called zone of the most gi-
gantic swindles ever perpetrated in this
country is said to have been unearth-
ed recently in New York. The story
goes that a diamond broker has been in
the habit of selling, in lots to the value
of $25,0O0, diamonds which looked like
gems of the first water, but which, after
little wear, proved to be cheap yellow
stones that had been painted with So
luton that gave to them the appearance

Philadelphia & Reading Company's
mines but few see the light Of day once
a year, and some not oftener than once
in ten years. When brought to the light
they are stone blind for few days, and
some forever, the sunlight paralyzing
the optic nerves, but it has never been
known to affect their appetite or kick
ing qualities. They are estimated to be
50 per cent cheaper than horses for pit
work.
A point in etiquette recently decided
q lawsuit in queer way. A traveller
on a German railroad train attempted
to eat lunch while on the journey
While putting a piece of bologna sau-
sage in his mouth the train stopped sud-
denly, causing his cheek to be badly cut
on the edge Of his knife, which he was
using. The man sued the company for
damages, but his claim was not sustain
ed, on the ground that it is breach of
etiquette to eat with a knife.
Jay Gould began life as a book can
vasser. No wonder that he has always
considered the public as his prey. The
proper time to have killed him was
when he first started around with the
elite of Napoleon in monthly parts.
