Odd Names Of Hawaiian Chiefs.

The Hawaiian chiefs used many names
which answered for titles. They were
frequently changed or assumed for tri-
fling circumstances. The English appel
lations were bestowed visitors. The
Hawaiian names are highly tigurative,
and generally derive from some particu-
lar event which they were desirous of
concentrating. Kamehameha signified
'the lonely one;" Keopuolani, "the
gathering of the clouds of the heavens" !"
Kaulkeauoi, changing in the blue sky"
Kamamalu, "the shade of the lonely
one, "a name assumed after the death
of her father; Hoapill, "close adhering
companion" from the friendship which
existed between the old king and him.
self; Kaahumanu, "the feather mantle"
Liliha, "the fat of hogs" Auhea, liter
ally "where," from her mournful repeti-
ton of this word, after the decesse Of
Kamehameha; Kapiolani, "the captive
of heaven;" Kalakua, ''the way of the
gods;" Kahellili, "thunder;" Paalua, q
name of Kalaimoku, ''twice blind" ex-
pressing his grief by saying he had lost
his eyes for the deaths of Kamehameha
and favorite wife. Many of these no.
bles were remarkable for their corpulency.
Some weighed from three hundred to
four hundred pounds. Others were OF

Deep-Sea Sounding.

Rear Admiral Belknap's survey of
parts of the Pacific. preparatory to the
laying of the proposed trans-Pacific tele-
graph cable, indicates that extraordinary
difficulties will be encountered. His
soundings show the existence of trough
or basin of extraordinary depth and ex-
tent along the east coast of Japan and
the Kurile Islands, and under the Kuro
Slwo, or Japan or Black Stream. The basin
exceeds any similar depression yet found
in any other regions of the great oceans.
In run of thirty miles after leaving the
coast of Japan the waters deepened more
than 1900 fathoms, and upon the next
cast of the lead the wire broke after
4643 fathoms had been run out without
bottom having been reached. Their
mometers specially constructed for deep
sea soundings were wrecked by the un-
precedented pressures. The depth OF
the deepest cast-fye miles and quar-
ter, the deepest yet found--is sufficient
to hold two mountains as high as Japan's
great Fusiyama, one on top of the other,
and then the summit Of the highes,
would be nearly two-thirds Of a mile
under water.-Boston 1yanscript.

New Element in African Exploration.

An entirely new element has been in
troduced into the exploration of tracts
of country inhabited By savage tribes.
After the British South Africa Company
had obtained permission from the Gov
ernment to occupy Mashonaland it raised
body of men to cut road from the
Macloutsie River, in Bechuanaland, to
Mount Hampden, in Matabeleland. The
line of the proposed road was infested
with savages and the exploring party
was in danger of being beset all along it.
During the day they were fairly safe, for
sharp lookout could be kept and scouts
could be sent in front of the column.
Night, however, is the favorite time for
the attack of the savage, and to put the
camp in a position to guard against the
constant menace of its sleeping inmates
novel method was adopted. Before ths
column started from Kimberley port
able six-horse power engine was taken
off its carriage and built upon Cape
wagon. This engine was used to drive
a dynamo for an electric search light OF
10, 900 candle power. In passing through
doubtful country this light was placed
upon stand high enough to throw its
rays all over the country and it not only
prevented the massing of bodies of saw
ages in the neighborhood of the camp
but also deferred them from hostillties by
the ave which the great, far reaching
beam of light inspired. After about two
months march it was found necessary to
rest the column and strong position
was taken up on the banks of the Tuli
River. Tine marching guns and the seven
Founders and the search light were taken
to the top of commanding hill and the
camp was formed Immediately beneath.
After remaining here without molestation
for few days the party went on to its
final destination. The friendly search
light was of more value to the expedition
than a regiment of soldiers. Chicago

A Fatal Accident.

'In the midst of life we are in death. y
| Nothing more clearly portrays the apt
| ness of this quotation than the peculiarly
sad and fatal accident that occurred at
| the tannery on Tuesday morning.
Two young fellows, James OMalley
and Chas. Brown, were up near the top
Of the. chimney cleaning away the debris
that has accumulated The former
young man descended to the staging
which is about a hundred and fifty feet
from the ground. The boards tipped and

afterward Chas. l.. Woodruff, a work
man, was found weltering III pool of
blood. He was tenderly carried to his
room at NJ J. Korcilius' boarding house
and medical assistance hastily called. An
examination disclosed that his skull was
crushed in most horrible manner and
that he could only live short time. At
| three minutes of ten the poor fellow
breathed his last, comparatively alone
and among strangers, no one being at the
| bedsid except the Catholic priest,
fellow workman, a clerk from the tan
merry office and TELEGRAPH-COURI
reporter. Extreme JUNCTION was admins
tered by the reverend gentleman before

| Outside the boarding house were con-
gregated little knots of sympathizing fell
| low wOrkmen who had known this unfor-
tunate victim since the beginning of the
erection of the tannery chimney. sa-
cred hush had fallen over all the sur
roundings and that peculiar feeling of
reverence that one feels in the presence of
death had stolen over them all. Perhaps
more than one of those workmen made a
secret resolution to take advantage of the
present and to become prepared for such
an untimely end as this one. Perhaps an
eloquent sermon was conveyed to the
hearts and minds of those assembled fell
| lows of the dead man by that sad, terri

wife is visiting in British Columbia. The

up to Wednesday evening. If friends do
not claim the body to-day the remains
will be inferred here.
