hour The fall of two inches in half
an hour, which is reported to have
occurred when the pumping was
suspended, is also equal to four
inches an hour. In other words, the
pumping supplied water equal to
rise in the reservoir Of eight inches
an hour: four inches to replace what
was running out, and the other four
representing the net gain.
The fact is therefore satisfactorily
demonstrated, that one Of our steam
fire engines, working day and night
is capable Of making a large and
material addition to our daily water
supply. Concerning the cost we
have, from a reliable source, the fol
lowing estimates: Two tons Of coal,
$50; wages Of two engineers-one
each for night and day-$1O; wages
OF two stokers, oil and various incl
dental expenses, so more, or $50 a
day in all.
This looks like quite an expense
to be incurred regularly for any
length Of time, but water is one OF
the things we must have. Should we
at any time reach a point Of scarcity,
where our necessary wants could be
supplied in no other way, the
people would unquestionably hold,
with practical unanimity, that no ex-
pense which it was within the power
Of the Government to meet, should
be allowed to interfere with the sup
ply Of an article of such prime
necessity.

THE PUMPING OPERATIONS.

There appears to have been no
especial lesson taught by last Satur-
day nights experiment in pumping
water from the artesian wells up to
the Makiki reservoir, beyond con
frming the entire practicability of
the scheme.
The result of six hours actual
pumping is reported to have been
an addition of two feet to the depth
of the water in the reservoir. Had
the people residing in the district
supplied from Makiki paid respect
to the request of the Water Works
Bureau, to keep their taps closed
during Saturday night, which was.
under the circumstances, a very
reasonable thing to do, the net gain
to the contents of the reservoir
would have been considerably
greater.
The figures given in our news de
partment Monday morning, afford
some grounds for estimating approx
mately what the shrinkage from this
source was. A rise of two feet in
six hours is equal TO four inches an

Chinese Iznownothingism.

A marked increase in hostility to
foreigners is noticeable throughout
China. The native soldiery at Che
foo are suspected of plotting to at
tack the foreign settlement.
The anti-foreign riots at Chinkiang
were started by alleged charges of
cruelty Oh the part of Sikh police
men. The English Consulate was
burned, while the American Consul
late and all the private houses in the
foreign concession were looted. The
foreigners found safety in a vessel
on the river and were afterward
taken to Shanghai. Viscount Mori,
one Of the ablest Of japanese states
men, was assassinated by fanatic
on February 18th. A fight has taken
place between French troops and
Chinese near Thai nguyen, in Ton
quin.

Rice is the richest IN carbon of all
the grains, and it is well-knOwn
fact that races of men depend al
most entirely for their subsistence
on rice, like the Japanese; and while
they may not be large physically
they are strong and compact, agile
and enduring. Potatoes, parsn1ps,
and turnips are mostly water. All
the grains contain practically the
same elements, and except in indi-
vidual cases, one is as good as the
other. Certainly no one who is de-
prived of flesh food need fear star
Walton if he can have plentiful sup
ply of the grains. All the elements
of nutrition are contained in the
grains, fruits, and vegetables.

AUTHORS AND CRITICISMS.

MARGARET DELAND read every notice Of
"John Ward, Preacher" which her publish
ers could find
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX not only reads
her critics, but frequently answers them
when she thinks they are in the wrong.
MISS ALoorr believed that an author
should not read what was said Of his works,
but Mrs. Moulton, Mrs. Spofford and Miss
Jewett think otherwise
AMELrE RIvEs reads all the criticisms
which her publishers send her, and fire.
quently breaks out in rage at some particu-
larly caustic notice Of ''The Quick or the
Dead!"
Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE is not be-
yond appreciation of kindly notice, and
the premature obituary articles which
were printed during her recent illness af-
forded her much amusement.
ALMOST all our famous women writers
are eagerIto see the press criticisms on their
works. Mrs. Burnett, accustomed though
she is to the notices of newspapers, always
reads them carefully, and very favorable
criticism of her works is sure to get her at
tentior.
