The Natural Gas Output.

The total mileage Of pipes in the United
States cannot be far from $500 miles, not
including small pipes for individual use.
One-ffth of this quantity OF pipe is laid in
the city of Pittsburg.. The gas wells of Penn
sylvania produce from 100000 to 100000
cubic feet day High and low pressure
wells are also found in Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan. Ohio and as far west as Kansas
The total consumption of gas for 1887. as est-
mated by coal displacement, was equivalent
to 10, 000, goo tons of coal.
The value Of this coal was calculated at
about SIS 10000 In 1856 the displacement
was placed at $500, 600 tons. nearly all Of
which occurred in Pennsylvania, about Pitts

placement could be given in lSss, as that OF

A STORY OF EDEN

D some forgotten chronicle Of old
THIS story have read
And have heard ii said
Rosetu wept when he had heard it told.
When Eve from Eden forced had turned her face
To pity the;p inclined,
God made @itilirfsler mind
Grow dim the memory OF that bissful place
Then during many after days OF toll
Children of earth were born
Who knew not OF that morn
Before IN sweat shey learned to till the soil
They were content-conteuted with their lot,
Born to return to dust,
They lived, as live they must,
Contented, for OF Eden they knew not.
Thus God with mercy tempered what seemed hate
So that men knowing not
Their former blissfJIl lot
They should not utterly be desolate.
But after many years child was born,
child unlike the rest;
And when unto her breast
Eve pressed it then she wept, e child forlorn.
Better" she said, this child were in its grave.
For in his longing eyes
GlinIpses of Paradise
And long forgotten trees of Eden wave"
And everlasting is our Mothers pain,
For oft at eve morn
Some poet child is born
Who hears those sounds of Eden once again

What a Jungle Is.

BY the way, we have now been the whole
length of India, from Calcutta to Peshawar.
and back to Bombay. on the other side of the
land, and, except at the foot of the Hima-
.ayas, have not seen a single forest, or indeed
what we would call q wood. Trees there
are everywhere along the roads-along the
hedge rows scattered about the fields and
plains and dotted over the hills and noun
tains. but nothing like what the most of us
at home have supposed to constitute an In
dian jungle. Al uncultivated or waste
lands are called Jungle" ''Out in the jun
gle" means about the same thing here as with
us to say "out on the prairie"-that is, on the
uninclosed lands, whether bare or in heavy
grass. The mountain jungles," where the
tiger has bis home and from which he comes
down to carry off people or domestic ami
mails. have no trees other than low scattered
bushes and rocks. On these no native thinks
of going alone at night or even by day in
some of them. -Carter Harrison in Chicago

week ago was before her.
She pulled hard to reach him She mada

and wept and shrieked. and all those others

| When Roxandra was once more back at
the village of Oloi, she sent others to help
those unfortunates at the prison, while she
half led, half dragged her father up the little
hill to the priests house.
He said little; he was terrified.
Prince Okanin, stunned and blighted, was
too dazed to understand how Roxandra was
his daughter. But she brought him dry gar
ments and hot milk-oh, heaven.
! Well, he had worn damp clothes and eaten
| cold food-often frozen-for dozen years,
although in his own palace, there IS again tho
irony OF destiny.
/ And presently he began to speak, and was
/ looking at his own picture when there arose
q clatter before the house. Roxandra started
! to look out. The good priest shrank with
terror as he saw himself already in the mines
Of Siberia for harboring an escaped Nihilist
and Prince Okanin, meantime dazed, picked
up the portrait of his wife. The ears rushed
/ to his eyes. He pressed j. to his bosom. Yes,
| yes; he remembered how grief had crazed her
when she learned OF his arrest that day; and
how they had told him she had thrown her
child into the lake Of Karka. Yes; alb, yes
/ Rozandra had flown to the door, trembling;
she saw there what, to her eyes, seemed a
magnificent travelling carriage-it was, in
deed, q very ordinary one-with three horses
with fine trappings, and bells all covered
with mud. as indeed were the positions and
the robes Of the lady who sat therein.
/ Yesl no Roxandra stood breathless-
panting-blinded-sh fell upon her knees
praying
! This lady was her mother.
/ She left the carriage, and waving aside the

| his visitor proved to be lady, and not the
officers of the police-she said very gently:

his wife-oh, yes, am quite sane these many
years although"-she faltered, ''once it,
was different. ! have toiled to obtain his
pardon for ten years. This" she held up a
little sealed paper-''is it." And very soon
in the little church of ST. Isaac, between the
two malachite columns, before the jeweled
Icon, there knelt very thankfully the Prince
Okanin and his wife the princess, and their
daughter Roxandra-
/ Surely, when they went away to Moscow,
they did not forget to leave purse of money

THE VETO.

The Judges of the Supreme Court,
four to one, have decided the much
discussed veto question, sustaining
the Kings right of veto. This de-
cision is in harmony with the BuLLE-
TINS reading of the Constitution,
for which we have been roundly
abused by some writer's on the other
side, who assumed to "know all
about it," Our reading Of the docu-
ment was modestly given as the
opinion of "an unillumined Law
mind," while the other side was pre-
sented with the offensive bombast OF
self-conceited shallowness. 1t will
appear from the Courts decision
that the BULLETIN writer's are better
Interpreters of the Constitution thar

have it, Old Lip Po Tai, my family
physician, has often told me if |
ever got the smallpox, that an in
fallible remedy for the disease is to
rub the pustules off my nose against
the city prison bars. I'll go right
now. All the police officers and
reporters like to see smallpox pa
uents. 1t gives them something TO
talk about and write an editorial on.
Away 60" So away he goes and
rubl against the central station port
cullS.
So many smallpox rubbcrs visit
the bars daily now that the situation
is becoming a little strained, and
even a slight touch of barber's rash
on the faces of reporters is mistaken
for the more serious affection. One
of the old standbys of the press,
who has written up more police items
than were ever printed, was refused
admittance to the prison yesterday
because of few dainty little erup-
tions on his nose. 1t was only by
referring the prison gatekeeper to u
ncighboring free-lunch stand, where
an alibi was clearly proven, that the
recorder of the news was allowed to
enter through the gates. Hardly
had he been disposed of when a
real, genuine smallpoXer rushed up
and began to rub his proboscis fur
iously against the bars. Between
the rubs he yelled out that he was
no fraud, not much, but the real,
Simon pure article, and that he must
see the doctor. He was given q
blanket and told to walk out to the
health office, and on no account to
ride on a streetcar. He snatched the
blanket, and draping it around him
self like Roman toga, followed the
instructions given him literally, by
at once bouncing into a crowded
streetcar bound direct to the new
city hall.-[Daily Alta California.

OPENING OF A SWIMMING TANK
AT pUNhHQU,

On Saturday last the Trustees and
friends of Oahu College were invit-
ed by the President, to witness the
opening of swimming tank.
The tank is built back of the Col
lege buildings, is 45 long by
80 feet wide and has an average
depth of 6 feet. At the inflow end
the water is 8 feet deep, and grad
ually deepens until it becomes 7
feet at the other end. The tank
holds when full, $4,000 gallons of
water, and can be filled in 16 hours.
In the vorner nearest the entrance
are concrete steps leading to the
bottom, and in the other corners
are heavy iron rods built into the
rock and cement, forming ladders
from the top to the bottom of the
tank. AT intervals of ten or twelve
feet around the tank, and firmly i'm
bedded in the masonry are rings,
in which to fasten ropes that can be
stretched across the tank in either
direction, and used as life lines.
The tank is provided with an over.
flow and underfow, the latter work
ed by large cock outside the en-
bankment. The water from the
overflow is conducted off in ditch,
and is used for irrigation.
Just inside the entrance gate is q
house extending the whole width OF
the enclosure, containing four rooms
for the convenience of the bathers.
Over the deepest part of the tank a
spring board has been put in place,
and in either corners of that end OF
the enclosure are seats for the bath
ers to rest on. The whole is en-
closed with q close board fence
about ten feet high, thus ensuring
perfect privacy.
The water is kept pure and fresh
by the constant in and outflow,
and will only require an occasional
emptying in order to clean the bot
tom of muddy deposits, and the
sides from sort of Limu, vegeta-
BILE that develops and grows! very ra-
pidly in nearly all spring water in

The bath was duly inaugurated
by Master A. +. Judd, son of Chief
Justice Judd, who took a header
into the tank, closely followed by
Mr.. G. M. Cooke.

sident of the institution, belongs the

A PROPOSED DEBATING CLUB.

Mr.. John F. Smith, in last Satur-
days BULLETIN, suggested the for
nation of a local debating society,
and invited all persons interested
to communicate with and join him
in bringing the proposition to a sue
cessful issue. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Smiths appeal will receive en-
couraging attention. Debating clubs
are generally considered to be bene-
fetal, having tendency to cultivate
and develop the speaking and
reasoning capacity of participants,
as we'll as affording them pleasant
and instructive entertainment. De-
batting clubs also have the effect of
inducing habits of study and re-
search. Persons intending to take
part in previously announced de-
bate will usually avail themselves of
all sources of information upon the
subject within their reach. Besides,
experience in debating club fami-
liarizes one with the recognized
methods of conducting public meet
ings, committee meeting, ETC., an
important thing for any man and
every man to know in free country
with free institutions. What way
ever Mr.. Smiths proposition il
looked at, we see strong reasons fo
expecting varied good to result from
its consummation and but slim
chance of any evil arising therefrom
By all means, let us have a debat
ing society organized with as littl
delay as possible, while there i

the plan, and under his personal SUI
pervision the structure reached COM
pletion 1t will no doubt prove q
valuable adjunct to the College,
both as regards health and plea
sure.
There will be certain hours for
the boys and other hours for the
girls of the institution, to avail
themselves of the bath, and learn TO
swim. Floats or life-preservers
will be provided for those who can
not swim, and every prccaution
taken to prevent accidents of any
kind.

A FEW SMALLPOX VAGARlES.
WHY DO PUsTULENT PATIENTS ALWAYS
HEAD FOR THE CITY PRISON?

The same affinity that draws the
white-haired girl to the red-headed
horse, or big diamond to bobtail
spade flush when high 'acker is on
the table, or tin kettle to a cur
dogs tail, seems to exist between
sufferers from smallpox and the iron
bars that close the way at the city
prison, "IIo no! Ha hal - says
the patient to himself; 'I'ye got the
smallpox. No doubt about it. L
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-02-06


see few men. That to-day means
great deal. Some are men as il
were in shape only. Look at what
are termed in common parlancc the
Dudes, the aristocrats that would
be, utterly devoid of principle or
common sense, a distinct species
that even Darwin could not class or
claim. You cannot class them with
your so-called hoodlums.
The tendency of the age is to
level the barrier between the sexes.
One would think the natural ten
dency of the intimate associations,
such as social receptions, evening
parties, etc, would be matrimony.
But the fact is that many men are
frightened off before liking begets
love, and they are the ones who
might have had serious intentions.
The mother watches, fuses, and
oftime catechises the girl, and there
by wounds her sense of delicacy,
doing more harm than good, often
leading the girl TO imagine herself
beloved when the mans feeling is
only that of pleasure in the society
of young woman who does her
best to make herself agreeable.
Men are usually ignorant of how
girls note and weigh the attentions
they receive, and how they analyse
and give body to vague nothings
and brood over trifles till they gather
shape. Many men after they have
said the pretty things their idea of
politeness has prompted, go away,
forget them, and ofttimes the fair
recipient, while she is expecting a
declaration as the result of q few
soft nothings or tender glances.
All men are not alike, bear in
mind. There are a few exceptions.
For instance, a gentleman who had
been in Austin, Texas, only three
days, but who had been paying at
tention to a prominent Austin belle,
wanted to propose, but was afraid
he might be thought too hasty. He
therefore spoke as follows: eff l
were to speak to you of marriage
after having made your acquaintance
three days ago, what would you say
to it?'' The lady's reply was,
"Well, l should say never put off
till tomorrow that which you should
have done the day before yesterday"
In conclusion, women are not
aware how some men sincerely adj
mire q girl without a thought be-
yond mere good will. The man who
believes on the simplicity and can
dour of women, desires their SYM
pathy and values their regard. A
man of the world has the instinct of
self preservation developed strongly
enough for his protection. The
lady receives the petits soins dear
to the female nature which the hus-
band of long standing neglects. The
man receives the sympathy grateful
to the masculine creature. IT'S the
cry among many to-day that it is
impossible to get well acquainted
with a girl without exciting the toe
lively anxiety of her friends. Time
and space will not permit one to say
further on this subject. Let mt
conclude by saying married people
would be happier if home trials
were not told to the neighbors; i
they kissed and made up after every
quarrel; if each would try to be ;
support and comfort to the other
if each remembered the other was
human being, not an angel; if mel
were as thoughtful for their wive
as for those who by their action
they often appear to love better
if neither had married.
