German Annexation In the Pacific

The NeaV Zealand Herald has the
following on the reported annexation
of Samoa by Germany:
"When our last monthly summary
was issued the public mind was con-
siderably occupied with the question
of the ultimate disposal of the Sa-
moan and Tongan Islands. AS coll
sequence of the annexation fever
which has seized the Continental
nations of Europe. and of the sus-
picious looking movements of Ger
man war ships in the Pacific, the
King and chiefs of Samoa bad be-
come apprehensive of their fate, and
thereupon took measures to signify
their wish to be either taken under
the protectOrate of Britain or united
with New Zealand. On ascertaining
this the German residents and naval
officials drew up an agreement, which
virtually placed the government and
control of the islands in their hands,
and the King was induced to sign
this, lest his refusal might lead to
the sudden and forcible annexation
of his Kingdom. This circumstance
he afte rwards officially communi-
Gated to the New Zealand Govern
ment, and at the same time urged
them to use their influence with the
British Government to give effect to
his wish for protection. This led to
an official Geographic correspondence
between the Imperial and Colonial
authorities, and for some time the
Government steamer HinemOa was
held in readiness to proceed to Samoa
with view to ascertain the feelings
of the natives, and to take what other
steps might be deemed advisable. AS
these communications resulted in the
Colonial Office considering it ineXpe-
| dent that any overt action should be
taken, and intimating tina t an under
standing had been come to between
Germany and England mutually to
abstain from interfering with Samoa
and Tonga, the question has now
| ceased to excite public feeling. 1t is,
however, taken for granted that the
agreement which the King signed
under fear will be imperative, and
that the Colonial Office has not in
this matter, as in that of annexing
the northern portion of New Guinea,
allowed itself to be Overreached."

THE CENSUS.

The consolidated report of the cen
sus of the Hawaiian Islands, taken
December 9th, 1884, has been pub
lished, and a study of it elueidates
some interesting facts.
In the first place, the native popu-
lation of the islands is set down at
1,5O4 males and Is, $40 females, MAX
ing a total of 4O,O14. OF half-castes
there are 2119 males and 1909 females,
in all APIS This number added to
the ''native" population gives total
of 1922 Hawaiians by birth and
blood on these islands.
According to the census of 1875
6 years ago-the same population
footed up 47,5O8, the decrease in six
years having, therefore, been 1926.
This represents a percentage of de-
crease of 6.s per cent, or 1.13 per cent
per annum. This percentage of de-

REDEMPTION OF CERTIFICATES.

The Guide challenges the Govern
ment to give the names of those for
whom certificates have been redeemed
since December 1st, and Mr.. J. o.
Carter says such list will be a
" startling revelation" This was the
first information we sought to obtain
when we learnt that the Bank had
decided to refuse to accept certificates
as equivalent to gold. It is much to
be regretted that, there being no APP
parent reason for it, no distinct record
was kept of the presentation of
certificates for redemption. This
much, however, is known, viz,
that those who most largely withdrew
gold from the Treasury in this way
were some of those who had ex-
pressed, on 29th November last, their
intention to keep the certificates in
circulation instead of having them
redeemed. Amongst the largest, if
not (next to Bishop & Co.. actually
the largest, operators in this way, was
the mercantile company of which Mr..
J. O. Carter is an official. Messrs.
Bishop & Co. began the racket with
their $1,000 and it has been steadily
going on since; by far the largest por-
ton of the gold withdrawn being
demanded by members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who, like Messrs.
Bishop & Co., were parties to the
resolution of the 29th November, by
which the general public were so
adroitly hoodwinked.

Excessive Fatigue in tho Horse.

A fresh horse, fed up and well
rested is like a steel spring
with it's temper at its best; while an
over.exerted horse, with muscles
tlacid, and nervous system over
done, may be compared to II spring
that has been held in in strong
heat until its elasticity and power
of resistance are gone. In the con-
dition first referred TO, the horse
can undergo severe exertion with
out danger of the giving way of
parts that are subjected to strain,
while severe strain put upon tired
muscles and ligaments may be IL
kened to II severe strain put upon a
steel spring that has been deprived
of its temper The latter will "let
down." aud losing its power to re-
bound, in this particular may be IL
kened to the horse over strained in
his tendOns, muscles and ligaments,
from which arises that condition
known as dieting down" or a
"break down" of the tendOnS, mus
cles and ligaments, to such a degree
as to permit the fetlock to rest up
on the ground. This giving way in
race is not expected to occur ear
ly in the contest; as then all the
flexible parts are strong and supple
and up to a point when cOnSidera
bic fatigue is experienced the parts
have u liberal store of vital vigor

from harm. Late in IL race, hOwev

of formation, previous weakening
or through making misstep, may
yield up its integrity and give way
in the parts where either or all O
these influences have been opera
tive. The horse, when fatigued and
still kept at his work whether this
be hauling a load, road or track
work-shOuld be carefully watched
as to its footing; for if under {
state of tire and relaxation, sud
den slip be made then; under these
circumstances, strain is liable tt
occur. Slipping, when relaxation
has followed fatigue is liable tC
produce a strain in the hip joint
through the foot or feet slipping
backwards, or the legs spreading
apart. In fact, tired condition
opens the way for a strain in almost
any location; and care should be
taken to give the horse his hard
work only when full of vigor and
rebounding force. and not at the

The Wool Trade Of Australia.

An interesting fact in connection
with the history of the Austrtla-
sian colonies is that every one OF
them is especially adapted to the
production of wool. Indeed, the
wool industry has reached such
vast proportions that we may well
stand amazed at the promise Of its
future. The total population of all
the colonies is IL little over $1,000
600 and yet they possess over 49,
000, 900 of sheep, and dispose of an
annual product of about S75,000,-
600.
The mining interest of the colo
MES for a time ovcrshadowed all
other pursuits, but the people have
found out that there is more gold
in wool than in all their varied min
eral products. And the most as
tOnishing thing connected with the
subject is that the industry has been
OF such short duration. 1t is true
enough that sheep were introduced
into the colonies soon after their
discovery and settlement, but it
does not appear that they existed
in any great numbers until the year
1860. AT the beginning of the
present century there were only
6090 sheep in all the vast territory;
now the number, as l have previ-
ously stated, is 76,O0O,O0O. In 1916
there were only 7,402; in 1891 the
number was 1872, 468; in 1871 the
number had increased G,721,7SG; in
1860 it was 81, 1913, G26; in 1870 it
was Al ,593,612; and in 1881, G5, Ill
4O1. In 1860 the quantity of wool
exported from AustI ALA was only
16O,097 bales, valued at $14,489.
$50; now the annual exports amount
to $50, 900 bales, valued at 81, $780,
600.
Among the many reasons assign
ed for the vast increase in the
wool product is the suitability of
the soil and climate for rearing
sheep, Indeed, it is said that the
climatical condition of the colonies
of Australasia is precisely the same
as that of the most celebrated wool
producing countries of the old
world.-Consul Griffin of Sidney.

Who Should not Keep Bees.

Among beekeepers who are up
with the times as relates to books
and theories, are many who should
not keep bees. AS with all other
industries, nature seems to qualify
only few for Bookkeeping. 1t Is
only now and then that We find an
apiarian with sufficient snap and
energy to always be ready for the
right thing at the right time. If we
are too indolent to provide new
hives ready for colonies each spring
to replace those we have murdered
We would better not try to keep
bees. 1t is strange to see SO many
bee keepers who should not have
embarked in the business, notwith
standing they are intelligent and
well-read The trouble is they know
better than they do.-Cor, Indiana
