apt to be felt on a hot day after q
rainy night. There is so very little
natural incline, the most frequented
streets and roads of the city are so
little above sea level, that it ought
to be Acknowledged that to aid and
supplement wherever possible the
natural facilities for running off the
surface drainage, should be amongst
the first duties to be undertaken,
and yet there has been but little
done in this direction since Homo
lulu began to assume the character
of q city. The lower part of most
of the great thoroughfares running
northwards and southwards, and
both sides of those crossing them,
become great mud ponds on wet
weather and dust reservoirs in
dry, and in this climate a very few
hours are needed to convert mud
into dust, and only 4 few minutes
to provide fresh sea of mud at
each main corner.
This brings under consideration
the whole question of drainage that
is the removal of sewerage as we'll
SIS of storm water.
Early this year a scheme was
drawn up by Mr.. G. F. Allardt by
direction of the Hon. L. A. Thurs
ton, at once the most comprehen-
sive and practical that has yet
been proposed. but his estimate for
effeetually draining only that
area which demands the most i'm
mediate attention enclosing an area
of about 2S3 acres of the most
densely inhabited portions of the
city will cost near upon $4,000,
and some months of work, there
fore it is that every effort should
be made TO facilitate the discharge
of the rain water now left to atmos-
pherie influences for removal.
Careful grading from the line of
School street or even Beretania
street TO the harbor front with pro-
vision for carrying of the contri-
buttons of Hotel, King, Merchant,
and Queen streets would free the
business part of the town from a
not infrequent plague of waters,
and give the Government a chance
to show what some of its new
brooms are made of.
We recommend this with some
confidence to the attention of the
Minister of Interior who is not
Lacking in energy and means to do
his best.

The NICARAGUA CANAL.

The authentic reports from Mica
ragua show that the great canal
project is moving right along IN
affected by the political turmoil of
Central America.
The company has bought the
dredgers which have been in use
upon the Panama canal, and have
ordered others of larger size and
great exeayating power During
the past summer 3 railway has
been in course of construction from
Greytown into the interior, and
large amount Of dredging has been
done upon the Greytown bar.
Warner Miller of New York, the
president of the canal company,
speaks very highly of the quantity
Of work that has been done and of
the outlook for the success of the
enterprise. He states that the sale
to his company of the dredging
plant Of the Panama Canal means
the final collapse of that project
and the concentration Of the worlds
hope and encouragement upon the
Nicaragua scheme.-Exehange.

Almost Routed BY Two Indians.

From Miles City (Mont) Special
Jules SemiOle, an interpreter, brings
from the Cheyenne Agency the details
of the killing of Head Chief and Young
Mule, the murderers of Hugh Boyle,
as told in the Herald of to-day. On
Sunday, the father of Head Chief came
to Agent Cooper and endeavored to
negotiate for the surrender of the fugi-
tives and to secure their immunity from
punishment by giving up number of
ponies. He said the boys were in the
hills, where they could not be taken.
The agent refused to negotiate, saving
the government did not treat murderers
that way. Finding his efforts fruitless
the father said the boys would come into
the agency and make fight and that he
would go out and help them put on war
bonnets and tie up ponies tails-the
procedure incident to going into battle
and that the soldiers had better look
out, as the boys would fightto the death.
The place from where they would come
was indicated, and troops and Indian
police drawn up to meet them. In
about have an hour the two renegade
were seen coming at full speed inwar
paint and feathers. They charged along
the full length of line occupied. by the
troops and police, shooting and yelling

or two in return, but failed to do any
damage. AS soon as the Indians were
out Of range they turned and rode back
again like a whirlwind, repeating the
attack as before, escaping without dam
age. They then started to climb hill
in front of the troops. When half way
up chance shot from the military hit
Young Mules pony and brought him to
ground, leaving Young Mule dismount-
ed.
Head Chief then turned and rode
down the hill at terrific pace, making
directly for the line oftroops and police,
meanwhile firing his rifle as rapidly as
possible. It is reported that the line of
battle wavered and broke, utjust before
Head Chief penetrated it he fell, shot
twice through the forehead and once in
the mouth, and was killed instantly.
Young Mule, noting the fate of his COM
panion, prepared to follow, chanting
the death song. He started down the
hill afoot and was charging directly into
the line Of troops when he was hit in the
side. He jumped into hole in the
ground and fred one shot after getting
under cover. This was about one
O'Clock in tLe afternoon and hostilities
ceased until evening, when Young Mule
was found in his rifle pit.

"A Fire incident.
From the Seattle Press.


There is a story told on Hon. III. 6.
Strive which has not as yet been made
public property. 1t is said that during
the raging of the great fire in which Mr..
Strive, with all the rest of Seattle, was
q heavy loser, he rushed up into his of
ice to save some of his most valuable
books. 1t is we'll known that he had
accumulated a vast amount of material
which he purposed working up into
history of Washington. This material
and some of his books we're
very precious to him. So as
the fire came sweeping down
toward his Office he rushed upstairs and
began to select the books most valuable
"Ah, this ere / will save No, guess
this one s more valuable" Thus he
hesitated, and among his many books,
all of which were dear to him, he was
unable to decide which ones to save
Just then the cries of fremen were
raised, and the Judge was urged to come
down and save his life. Being thorough
ly alarmed and still undecided, he
turned and grabbed the first book in
reach and rushed out of the building.
Reaching the pavement he found he had
sayed-the city directory.

The Andes Sinking.

The startling announcement is made
that the Andes are slowly sinking into
the earth's crust. AS proof of this La
Gazette Geographique says that Quito
was 9 500 feet above the level of the sea
in l745; in 1900 it was only $50; in 1881.
1857, having sunk twenty-five feet dur
ing the fifty-fve years following 1745,
and but three feet during the thirty-one
years which interviewed between 1900
and 1881. In 1868 the city's level had
been reduced to $500 feet above the
level of the Pacific. To sum up the
total, we find that Ecuador's capital has
sunk seventy-six feet in l22 years. An
tisanas farm, the highest inhabitated
spot on the Andes $4,000 feet higher
than Quito, the highest city on the
globe), is said by the same authority to
be 218 feet lower than it was in 1745,

A Billiard Balls Fall.

There are few men or things that are
called upon to roll into more close cor
nersor queer stations than is the bill
lard ball. An elephant, either in Afri-
ca or Asia, carries it with him in his
Wanderings very near to his trunk, says
writer Of the New York Mail and Ex-
press. The transition from being an
elephants tusk to being a billiard ball
in good standing is not sudden. There
are several factories in New York City
and they say it takes a good while to
turn out perfect ball. One-half of it
is first turned, an instrument of the fin
est steel being used for the work.
Then the half-turned ball is hung up in
net and is allowed to hang there a
year to dry. Then the second half is
turned and then comes the polishing.
Whitening and water and a good deal
of rubbing are necessary for this. 1t is
necessary in the end that the ball shall,
to the veriest fraction of a grain, be of a
certain weight.
1t is after being placed on the billiard
table that the real life of the billiard
ball commences. There are pores in
ivory Just as there are in epidermis.
These may close, and then, if in hot
room, the ball is likely to crack, or it
may crack by reason of conclusion with
other balls.
When it cracks it drops step lower.
It is sent to factory and a small frac-
ton of nick is shaved off from it. You
next see it in some second-rate billiard
room. Finally it rolls even lower and
into some secondhand shop, and
thence into a bowery saloon, where
"crooks" manipulate it to the dismay
and discontinue of visitors from the ru-
raj districts. The rest is soon told.
The balls become cracked, decrepit and
practically useless for the purpose for
which they were made. Then they are
bought up by dealers, are cut up and
made into smaller articles. If the worst
used in the making of ivory slack.
A checkered life enough is that of a
billiard ball.

Beginning Young.
From the New York Times.

from the new 1OTA ImCs.
At a recent Gilmore concert at Man
haitian Beach was baby who, on ac-
count of her beauty, was taking the at
tention of the audience in her immedi-
ate vicinity from Patrick Sarsfeld and
his musicians. The child-so several
women said, and the men evidently
thought-was ''too lovely for ANYTHING"
Her chief beauty was the golden ring
lets that peeped from under her hat
and made a regular halo around the
chubby face. Baby had climbed, by the
aid of the seat back, to standing posi-
ton, and was cooling lovingly at an old
gentleman behind her. The old gentle
man pulled one of the golden ringlets.
With quick movement the little one
drew her hat off and held it out to him.
All the beautiful ringlets went with the
hat. They were sewed around the edge
on the inside. The lovely child stood
there an ordinary looking baby, with
thin and straggly locks of different
hue from the golden curls.
