The Tug Boat EIeu.

How long, Mr.. EDITOR, how long is
our tug Eleu going to be in the carpen-
ter's hands YET, before she can be earning
instead OF spending?
About five weeks have now elapsed
since it was reported her little stern
frame was discovered unsound land s.. 80
per day carpenters have been employed
on it ever since that time, and yet not
finished.
1t certainly could not have been ten
dered for, as is understood all govern
ment work over $500 was to be by law.
Was there anything to hinder the super
intendent and some of his men who
were idle to cut and see how far the I'M
sound timbers extended? Then call for
tenders OF cost and time accordingly, as
has been done in similar cases of a like
nature in this harbor; far more ex-
tensive and done to time limit
l am far from thinking that either the
superintendent or any boss is encourag-
ing any delay in the repairs of the tug
('longshore men and would-be critics to
the contrary Notwithstanding. But /
do say that had that stern job been ten
dered for, it would have been done ere
this, and cheaper, with good workman

Hi1o Wants to Know.

Nh EDITOR: The people who live in
Hilo do not amount to much. We re-
cognize that fact. We have not got any
electric lights; We have no appropriation
OF a hundred or two thousand dollars
for fixing up our harbor; we have no
steam lines 10 California; We do not
have brass band at the expense OF the
whole country; We have no California
baseball clubs; no railroad excursions
nor boom towns. We are simply no.

Now, If this is so, we just want TO

COMPULSORY PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT"
As / looked upon these strong, fine
specimens of mankind, could not help
wishing for a compulsory law in Ameri-
can cities, as well as this, enforcing the
practice OF baseball upon our young men
of fashion, some of whom possess lar
more money than brains, and also upon
the puny clerks, who dwindles and dries
his life-blood up in the poisonous cigar
cite. during his leisure hours. Were this
the law and enforced, our daughters

BASE BALL
Is purely mans game 1t not only re-
presents strength OF the body, but activ-
ity OF the mind. Because OF its mathe-
NAUTICAL and scientific qualities, we pro-
nounce it purely masculine, although
Il does not require brute force, like the
prize fight. The men who are chosen
for its leaders are not essentially "savage
pugilists," like John L. s., but they
must combine a certain intellectual
acumen with physical strength and agil-
ity. They cannot be pallid professionals
from office, store, shop or college, but
must have the well-trained wits of one
and the herculean muscles OF the other.

The very nature of this game demands
a carefully-ordered life from those who
would win and retain success in it. Ex-
cesses of any kind must rob the player
of his strength and activeness. There
fore l opine that the tendency OF this
game must be toward morality and
sobriety. The game and its devoters
deserve earnest approval, because it
goes to the very limit OF abandon, with
out growing or becoming vulgar. "Aloha

Honolulu oratorio Society.

Mr.. EDITOR: DEAR SIR 1t is proposed
to establish societyin Honolulu for the
purpose OF studying and publicly per-
forming oratorio music. There is surely
abundant musical talent in the city and
suburbs. and it seems pity that no OPP
portunity should be afforded for enjoying
the highest class of choral music Such
works as the Messiah, the Elijah, Judas
Maccabeus, st. Paul are practically I'M
known in Honolulu to our own great
loss. 1t is obvious that the only way to
succeed in work OF this kind is to secure
the services of all capable OF rendering
assistance. l have spoken to. many
ladies and gentlemen, including some OF
the leading musicians, and all seem
greatly disposed to enter upon the work.

SIX Culture.


NR EDITOR: Permit me to direct
the attention Of your readers to an
item in the Scientific American of
khe 18th Of October last respecting
six culture which all may not have
seen.
a lady in South Carolina raised
q few silk worms every year TO
assist the development of silk rails

woman had taken in hand, found

Al hand, she thought perhaps she
could save the life of her worms
The ramie leaves until the mulberry
leaves appeared. The worms fed
ravenously upon the ramie leaves
and thrived so well that when the
mulberry leaves appeared she di-
videi the worms into two lots, feed
ing one lot on the mulberry and the
other with the ramie.
Nose worms fed with the ramie
ads the larger eocoons. The lady
sent the two lots separately to the
society. from whom she shortly
after received letter of inquiry as
10 how she had produced the
large coeoOns, as they were not
only larger, but the silk was OF a
superior quality" In commenting
uDon this. ] must say that it is
aEte reasonable that pure silk
sgJuld be Of better quality if
made from the silk plant than if
made from some inferior material.
We know better paper is produced
from pulp made of a better mate
rial than if poor, coarse material
Is used in its manufacture. We
also know that the flesh of animals
fed on better food is superior in
quality and favor to flesh made
from Inferior food. l have never
seen any plant fiber that compared
30 fayorably with pure silk as the
ramie plant produces. In the leaf
also the silky fiber is TO be seen as
well as on the stalk. II it should
prove true that superior silk can
be made by feeding worms with
ramte leaves a bright prospect
opens for these islands in the silk
line. as there is no month IN the
wear that the ramie would not pro-
duce young leaves abundantly, and
40 month Of the year that it would
not be warm enough to hatch the
silk moth eggs. So a feeding of
worms and gathering of cocoons
could be going on constantly, and
via proper care every month OF
II Seaar ramie could be harvested
fer its fiber. So the natural silk
and the artificial silk could be pro-
duced from the same plant at the
same time, and an income derived
from each. J. NJ. HoRNER.
