New York Sun reporter When they

ored for the table, but when the young
winter wheat appears they work on
the green sprouts. This has the effect
OF making their flesh rank. and no
one in any OF the wild goose-ridden
districts will eat OF these fowls then.
They are shipped by the thousand, all
the same, TO San Francisco and other
markets all winter long. where the
people seem TO think the green wheat
fed birds are a great delicacy. But IL
the markets could take ten times as

dorsement OF the practical engineers o.
that body. Since that time Mr.. 10
Van has given much further thought
70 the matter. and developed tho
system into much more perfect shape
The principle OF pneumatic propul-.
sion has long been In active operation
in the transmission OF packages and
other materials. There Is "A pneumatic

Mr.. lie Van said there should be two
perfectly round tunnels between tho
cities. one for up trains and the other
for down trains They should be OF

could be used, as there would be no
need for couplings on the train. In
gong down AN incline the first ear
could not leave the train without ere
ating partial vacuum between IL and
the next car for the reason that each
car has its packing between II ard the
tube. The plan for operating the road
Is TO have stations located every live
miles, at which would be placed large
exhaust fans OF precisely the same
pattern as is used IN drawing foul air
from mines. These would withdraw
the air in front OF "a trains and de-
liver IL behind them, thus providing IA
double propelling power, both pulling
and pushing.
''lt would only take pressure OF
one pound to the square inch, said
Mr.. lie Van. Ito propel the cars at II
rate OF $50 miles an hour. and this
could be easily attained The dist nee
from the public buildings In Philndel-
phia to tho city hall Ia New York is
eigbty-one miles in an air line. aud
this could be covered in twenty min
utes. There would be- no necessity for
trains TO stop at any station unless IL
was so desired. for balance gates
would be provided which would open
automatically for through trains.

MAUI R0IES.

The Rev. L. L. Gulick returned
TO his home by the steamer Likelike
on Wednesday last, much improved
in health from his sojourn on the
Coast. A surprise party towelcome
him home was contemplated for
Wednesday evening, but the incle-
ment weather kept nearly everybody
at home. The few that we're there,
however, spent pleasant evening
in social converse.
The deal in sugar plantation
stocks that was vaguely limited at in
a recent issue of the BULLETIN, has
been consummated, and in short
time you will probably hear of the
consolidation of some Of our
plantations into one gigantic cor
poration, with one Of Maui's most
successful plantation owners and
managers at the head.
The weather still continues rainy,
but as it is planting season nobody
growls.
A most enjoyable farewell party
was given at the residence of Mr.. G..
H. Dickey at Haiku, on Monday
night last, for Masters Harry Bald
win and Willie Dickey, and Miss
Maud Baldwin, all of whom leave
on the next steamer for the United
States to attend school. They will
be missed very much, as they have
large circle of friends who wish
them "bon voyage" and happy
school life.
The Rev. w. d. Westervelt has
returned to his missionary work
among the natives and Asiatics
of Maui. His labor among the
haoles while temporarily filling the
pulpit of Makawao foreign church
during the absence of its pastor, the
Rev. I. l.. Gulick, will be long fell
and deeply appreciated by all the
residents of the district. His genia
and kindly nature and earnest Chris
tan work has made him many-life
long friends, all of whom wish hin
the success he so richly deserves il
his labor among the heather.
