Bottle trees cast seeds once q year

mated at from ten to fifteen millions
of dollars. Serious as the destruc-
ton is, it is fortunate that the ealam-
ity did not take place in winter; and
that the people rendered homeless
by the FIRE, have not had TO encounter
the rigors of climate common to
winters on Puget Sound.
The losses recorded in another
column Will affect the whole coast
more or less; but there is some relief
in the thought that the citizens of
the burned city are showing great
activity in taking measures for re-
building their once prosperous and
progressive queen city of the
Sound" There is also much salts
faction in the fact that the citizens
of the surrounding cities and towns
rushed so nobly to the rescue; and,
although they could not arrest the
flames, they gave such help as the
necessities of the occasion required.

HE AUSTRALIAN BOTTLE TREE.

Among the singular and rare
+ plants Of the world IS the Australian
bottle tree, an indigenous tree Of a
limited portion Of tropical Queens
land and found nowhere else in Aus
tralia or on the globe. The native
habitat Of this peculiar specimen Of
vegetation Is on the eastern coast
range Of mountains within the par
sLleIs Of Is and q degrees of south
latitude The soil on which it grows
IS dry, the areas are level to lin
tied extent, and elevated above sea
level over 1000 feet.
This tree takes It's name from the
shape Of its trunk, which is wonder
fully ike the outlines of q giant
bottle Of the common order. The
thick part Of the trunk from the
ground upward Is from 50 10 so feet
high, from 30 to 40 feet in circum-
ference and quite straight I'D to
where the neck tapers to the spread
ing foliage above all. The bark Of
the trunk IS about 3 feet thick. Of
brown color and OF a cork-like con
sistsncy. The foliage. which Is verv
graceful, spreads from the top Of the
tree, and the branches have their
base IN the top Of the meek" The
leaves are similar IN size and shane !
to those Of q cherry tree. but their |
color and consistency are much /
lighter The spread Of the branches (
and foliage form q regularly shaped /
dome OF about 20 feet in diameter
and Of moderate density, giving
ample shade from the rays Of the I
sun. Those bottle trees grow in
groves from 10 to 30 in each, and are
not less than 100 feet apart from
each ether, although other trees in
.ervene in places There Is gen
sraly good pasturage, and very lit
le underground OF bushes where
'Otue trees grow. Their appearance
n the landscape is very striking

This shows most eonclusiveIy that
when these schools were carried on
n the Hawaiian language there
were very nearly one hundred per
cent. less children attending them
than there are now that they are
converted into English schools. And
this in the face Of increased facilities
Of travel 10 reach any kind Of school

ample viii serve to illustrate for the
whole Islands. The Board Of Edu-
cation have been doing their duty,

what they are doing; while just as
fOrcibly are facts demonstrating that
the reacdonists are very much be-

THIRD-PARTY POLITICS.

The third-pary movement in Canada seems
destined to end in speedy collapse. 1t orig
mated when Protestant feeling against legiS-
ation in favor of the Jesuits was at its height.
1t was proclaimed to be a bipartisan agita-
ton against French domination in the affairs
of the Dominion. Members Of both political
parties were welcomed to it's ranks. and in the
organization of branches of the Equal Rights
Association, which was the name given to the
movement, care was taken b enlist the SER
vices of Conservatives and Liberals alike as
chief officers. Great progress was made at
first in widening the circle OF membership,
and owing to the intensity of Protestant feel
ing and to the growing jealousy of French
supremacy in matters of Government policy
the movement threatened to become fOrmid
abte one. Sir John Macdonald discerned the
necessity for impeaching the on-partisanship
of the third party and Of converting it into
subdivision Of the Liberal Opposition. In
order to accomplish this purpose he brought
pressure to bear upon prominent Conservatives
identified with the movement. An Ottawa
letter, published in another column, reveals
the results of his success in forcing Mr.. Brad
bury, strong Conservative, to abandon the
Liberals had obtained control over it, and were
striving to make use of it as political agency
for harassing the Government of the day and
comprising its downfall. The acrimOny with
which he araigns the Executive Committee Of
the Equal Rights Association for diScnminat-
ing between the Conservative Premier Of the
Dominion and the Liberal Premier of Ontario
betokens a deliberate intention on the part of
his Ministerial advisers to break up the Or
ganization by discrediting its non-political
character. II is probable that this attempt will
be successful, since it is easy to demonstrate
that the majority Of the members are Liberals
whose hostility to Sir John Mace onald's policy
of governing Canada with the active support
Of the French elements Of population is more
conspicuous than their non partisanshp.
Ii is one of the singular results of the de-
velOpment of Canadian institutions under the
Act OF Confederation that the French Catholic
province Of Quebec should have become the
Crown in America Sir John Macdonald has
remained in power year after year and been
enabled to impart stability and permanence
TO the confederation system, because he has
had ecclesiastical influence and French pro-
vincial pride behind him. An intense loyalist
himself, he has averted the collapse of an
artificial arrangement for binding the colonies
pcaling to the selfish interests and lust Of
power of the vsIy section of Canadian popula-
ton which, apparently, had the least reason to

TIE COMING DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
VENTION.

The Democrats of Newly ork decline to take
the initiative in the canvass for the control Oh
the State Notwithstanding the fact thai the
| Executive Offices which are to he hlled IN
November are now in their possession, the
"ins' have decided to wait to see what the
| " outs will do at their State Convention be-
fore holding their own. This will commonly
he regarded as a confession Of weakness. Ger
tainly. if Governor Hill and his followers telt
that their cause was strong one they would
not have been apt to do what they have done
fall in at the tail after their opponents Tor
the avowed purpose of gaining whatever ad-
vantage comes from occupying such position.
They are anxious TO study the Republican hand
in advance of playing the Democratic CARDS
Such tactics are more suggestive of fear than
Of courage.
At the meeting of the Democratic Committee
Yesterday at Saratoga, at which the Tune ana
place for the convention were named, Governor
Hills influence was all-potent. 1t was clear
that his will was the committees law. The
members seemed to be anxious to have 1t
understood that they could be trusted to SneeZe
concurently with his snuff taking Even the
members who were looked upon as Cleve-
landites, Mr.. Herrick and the rest, without
murmur helped to put through the programme
which the Governor had cut and dried for the
use of the committee in the Executive Cham
her. The date selected for the Convention
was a date of Hills choosing, and HIPS hand
appears in the wording of the call for the
convention 1t was natural that whiskeys Gov-
ernor should so word the call as to make 1t
palpable bid for the support of the saloons
When he summons those who are opposed to
"inequitable and oppressive sumptuary legIs-
lation - to come up to the help of the Democ-
raov at Syracuse, he simply eXhorts the rum
power to stand by him. For Hill has proved
conclusively since he took the Executive chair
that he regards all sumptuary legislation as
"inequitable and oppressive" The call IS
worthy of the INSCRIPTIONS politician with
whom it originated, and the fact that the COM
mittee adopted it without dissent is another
proof that current Democracy in this State IS
controlled by its worst elements and so has no
claim whatever upon the support of reputable
citizens.
IL remains to be seen whether David b.
Hill will be as strong in the convention as
he was in the committee. He probably will be.
For although there are a good many Democrats
in all parts of the State who execrate the policy
which he has pursued, it is hardly likely that
they will have the pluck 10 organize and make
a fight against him at Syracuse. Unless all
signs fail, the Democratic State Convention
will be under the thumb Of whiskey'S Gov
erner.
