Toughening Timber.

BY the new process of toughenng
timber it is claimed that the effect pro-
duced upon wildwood is such that a
cold chisel is required in order to split
it, This result is accomplished by a
special method of steaming the timber
and submitting it to end pressure,
technically "upsetting it," BY this
means the cells and fbres are com
pressed into one compact mass. And
il is the opinion of those who have
experimental with the process that
wood can be compressed to the extent
of seventy-6ve per cent, and that some
of the timber now considered unfit for
use in such work as carriage building,
for instance, can be made valuable by
1his means as a Substitute for asia, etc,

Sleeping Cars.

A physician, referring to the custom
of travelling on sleeping cars with the
berths made up with their heads to-
wards the engine, said: ut is certain
ly bad for the brain of the sleeper as it
is not natural, and it is no wonder that
so many travellers, especially those
who have been on the road exclusively,
experience bad effects from it. Take
infants in baby carriages and no sane
woman viii think of trundling the We
hicle along so the child goes head first.
They always except the young and in
experienced mother push them along
feet first. Physicians invariably advise
such locomotion. 1t is the same thing
on the cars, and no one should hesitate
about having his berth made up so as
to move along feet first. 1t is much
better for the brain. "--S st. Louis Globe.

"My case exactly" said young lady

There was general shout of derision.

The Wood Rat.

The wood rat lays up enormous
stores of acorns during or prior 70 the
wet season. But it is useless proYi-
sion, as the nuts can be found at any
time. A nest recently opened wasar.
ranged seemingly in a regular manner
as regards apartments; the general
shape was domelike, being formed Of
sticks and other refuse piled upon each
other, so that it was torn apart with
great difficulty. Three openings were
apparent, leading in from below, and
entering the nest proper, which constF
tuted the first story. This was proyid-
ed with soft moss material Of various
kinds, showing that the wood rat had
an eve for comfort Immediately above
this was an apartment, if it can be 70
called, filled with acorns, eyeralqnarts

utility, remained unsold but the Sisters

Observations on Hawaii.

Mr.. Harry Armitage, agent of the
lnter-1sland volcano route, returned to
town by the w. g. Hall yesterday after
a fortnights visit to Hawaii. He was
at all the principal places in Kau, as
well as the volcano. On the ranches
he saw cattle lying dead from the
drouth by the hundred. A few cattle
died at Kapapala, MIR. Julian Monsarats
ranch, but the mortality there was less
than at other places, on account Of the
Ainapo lake in the upper section, to
which the cattle from the dry region
below could be driven The cattle on
Hon. c. r. Bishops ranch, South
Point, have been dying in numbers
since the recent rains, the sudden
transition from dry to wet grazing, and
from deprivation to abundance of water
having produced sickness in the
droves. Most Of the planters have los
more or less in working cattle, Chung
Peu, Chinese planter, suffering to the
extent of hundred head. The cane
was badly dried up, some Of it almos
beyond hope of recovery. Hilea cant
looks well Honuapo felt the droutl
very badly Pahala was seriousl,
wilted, but is showing the benelicen
effects Of the rain.
The volcano was pretty active
There was fire all round Halemaumau
and good distance out on the floor q
the caldera it showed in the cracks
Not bit of fire was in the New LAX,
on the Little Beggar, the ruins o
which are still well defined Mr.
Armtage believes there is a great bod
OF molten matter and fire just beneatl
the surface, and that activity will be
come more and more pronounced unit
the former grandeur of the volcano i
restored. The agents face presents
good advertisement of the hale effect
of an excursion among the mountain
of Hawaii and over the inter-san,
seas.

Inviting Fire.

Mr.. John l., Reese, one of the watch
at the Central Fire Station, on Sunday
last took a stroll through Chinatown,
keeping a 6reman's eye open to what
ever was in view He saw in numbers
of places kerosene tins used for stoves
set on the bare wooden floors, as if the
Celestials had wholly forgot the fearful
lesson Of April 18th. Mr.. Reese re-
ported the fact to the Fire Marshal,
Mr., Mcclure. No doubt that official
will take steps to prevent SUCH reckless
inviting of another conhagration. 1t is
also important that the tenants Of both
new and old Chinatown are not allowed
to exceed the legal limit in oil and
other explosives stored in their places
John needs close watching.
