lulu has been inflicted with &C.
casional visits from tramp
correspondents who fill that
portion of their anatomy usu-
ally allotted to brains with
ideas of the condition of affairs
here and then unburden them
selves in the columns of any
paper that will pay them at
so much per line. The visits
of these fellows are to be de-
plored, though, to the people
who live on peaceful Hawai-,
their writings SAVIOR of the re-
diculous.
A few weeks ago, according
to one of these tramps, we
were on the verge of a revo-
luton. We like to be in time
for everything-it don't make
any difference whether its soup,
dessert or a fracas. If there's
going to be revolution you'll
want fire arms. We've got
them now and particularly adj
apted to such a revolution as
we are going to have. They're
called Cadet Rifles and shoot
blank cartridges. They are
used in the States by young
men learning to drill and that's
what most of the boys will do
with them here. They are
built light and shoot a 81 cal.
blank cartridge-breech load
ing and everything about them
is of the most modern pattern.
They have bayonets on them
the proper size to jab one of
those correspondents with.
Your boy will want one the
minute he sets eyes on them.
He'll find them just the thing
for firing Christmas salutes.
We've also received a lot of
Sure-enough Fire Arms. New
style revolvers- hammerless
and all that sort of thing. Blue
and Nickel-plated barrels, as
you prefer. These are the
very best revolvers made.
So many of the followers of
Isaac Walton have recent
ly called on us for fishing
tackle that we decided some
time ago to get a supply of
the very things they need to
land the festive nina or the
luscious mullet.
Our hooks run from the No.
I2-about the size of a small
bent pin to one large enough
to hook a shark. The lines
run from a No. Isl to $50 in
linen-strong and long; and in
cotton from a No. 90 to a No.

We will sell you a single
line or enough to catch all the
fish in the sea.
The building boom that
Honolulu is now experiencing
has created an additional de-
mand for mason's stone ham,

short of them. The Martha
Davis " brought us a lot that
look to be the best ever used
by mason. These are made
with teeth and are finished in
in every way.

Hunting Bears.

General E. F. Burton describes a novel method of catching bears prac- ticed by the native hunters of India Four or five sturdy men are armed, two with long spears, cross barred on the handles close to the sharp, two edged blades, and two or three with ten foot banboos, of which the ends are smear cd with bird lime.
 Thus equipped, and leading several powerful dogs, the hunters sally out an hour or so before dawn, and pass alon. the base of the hills with the fresh morning wind blowing up from the plains below
 If the hunters have luck it is not long before the fierce dogs wind the bear and though dogs of this species hunt as silent as death, their straining on the leash informs their masters that the shaggy game is nigh.
 The dogs are slipped and disappear in the darkness, and soon the roaring and growing show that they have found the game. The hunters run up to the spot where the bear is fighting with the dogs
 The men with lined poles poke the bear in the ribs and adroitly twist the ends in its long hair, thus holding it fast on either flank, and the spearinen complete the tragedy by repeated spear thrusts. It is said that party of ex- perienced men with good dogs never fail to secure the bear in this way Youths Companion.

Fhe great storehousc of the worlds water is the ocean, which covers four ilfths of the globes surface. h some places the ocean has never been sound ed, even by line more than five miles in length !, is supposed these great depths aro without plants, because all plants require some light, and though light is said to penetrate sea water farther than fresh, yet we can scarcely imagine there is Q ray of light at the depth of five miles Some of the sea plants have stems ot least 300 feet ia length Ia some parts of the sen we are told that the eye can discern tue bottom at four or five hundred feet

The scientific fact on which the mak. ing of artificial ice depends is that when Q liquid evaporates it uses up great deal of heat, which it draws from any thing that happens to be around it, If can of water is at hand it's tempera ture is reduced, and if the action goes far enough the water will be frozen This cooling action can be felt by pour ing little ether or alcohol upon the hand, The liquid evapomtes rapidly, and the loss of the heat which it takes up cools the hand very perceptibly. If Q bottle containing water is kept wet on the outside with ether the eyapora. ton will chill the water and eventually freeze it.
 This is essentially the process by which the carafes frappees of French restaurants are produced The decan- ters filled with fresh water are set in shallow tanks containing brine. which remains liquid balow the temperature at which fresh water freezes. In con tact with these tanks are receivers, which can be kept charged with newly formed ether yapor. The chilling va DOT cools the brine, and this in turn takes heat from the water in the de canters, which soon freezes
 In making ice on the large scale either ammonia or sulphurous oxide is used instead of ether, because these substances are cheaper and are not in flammable. F A. Fernald in Popular Science Monthly.

win the Sun nnrn rng

Thousands of curious and ingenious theories have been brought forth to ac- count for the fact that the sun, al. though he has whirled his burning disk across the heavens for untold ages, con tinues to burn without being consumed or his bulk being lcssened in the least Some learned men affect to believe that the great orb is a monstrous ball of gus. but even a great ball of gas would be consumed to its utmost atom iu the course of q few thousand years. Others pretend to believe that its fires are kept up by the remains of wrecked worlds which are constantly falling into its depths, but even this seems far from probable, rot So say purely absurd conclusion
 In giving his opinion on the last opin ion, one of the most eminent astrono merS of the day has figured that a mountain range consisting of l76 cubic miles falling into the sun would only be sufficient to maintain the present heat for Q single secoud Q mass equal to that of our earth would engender only enough of heat to last ninety three yeas If these conclusions are correct, and we have no means of proving them false, we'll may we ask the question Of what wonderful, indestructible sub stance is the sun composed l-St. Louis Republic.

 Five Enormous Buildings Intended for
 Private Residences, but UnRt.
 A morning contemporary announces as a matter of news that Mrs Hopkins Searles offers her residence on Califor- mia street for sale It might have add ed as q companion item, that the Pil- grim Fathers had landed on Plymouth Rock There has been no time for many years that the Hopkins mansion on California street has not been for sale, though if public rumor be be. lieved the owner has not been distract ed by many offers to purchase, It is, in fact, difficult to conceive who could want to become it's possessor at any price
 The spectacle of Mob Hill, with pnla. tial piles browning it's ridge lllls Che stranger who visits California with mild amazement There are five big build ings there which were built as private residence, and are as unfit for that u7e as could be conceived They were ap, parcutly modelled on the plan of the palaces of the old World, which were erected to be the homes of feudal barons and all their retaners. In the middle ages every noblemau supported a swarm of dependents. He had to find quarters for them, and of course his lodgings had to be large, In our day rich men do not maintain much larger households than thcir neighbors
 Individually they cannot occupy more than dozen rooms. and as many will lodge all the servants they can cm. ploy. More rooms than this are of no possible use Conceived in ostentation, their destiny is to become lumber clos cts. In the old feudal castles of Europe the modern possessor is lost; it gives him nightmare to wander through a maze of rooms which are never occu- pied save by mice and spiders, and he fees to take refuge in bedroom and parIor at club or hotel It must be much the same in the mansions of Mob Hill.
 If they have any destiny it must be to become some day public buildings museums or hospitals. Even for that use they would have to be donated by their owners, for the city could build suitable editices for less money than they would cost if they were bought.
 It seems odd that men with the sa. gacity required to build transconti. mental railroad and to acquire vast fortunes should not have understood that house that is too big may be as ineonvenient as a house that is too small, A very small quantity of shel- ter is all that the richest and greatest of us can want A bedroom, dress, ing room, a reception room, parlor, dining room, library, and perhaps billiard room what more than this can Crusus occupy, though he counts his riches by the hundreds of millions,
 Yet rich men go on piling stone upon stone and bricks upon mortar until they have exchanged what might have been a snug home for barack, and in the doing of 1t they generate a mass of envy and ggudging which follows them to their grave San Francisco Call

A man owes four cents. He pays two cents one day, one cent the next, one half cent the next, and so on, one-half each day of the debt. Now, although on the fourth day he only owes one quarter of cent, if he should be en- dued with the gift of immortality, and he should continue to pay the debt at the same ratio, he could never pay all of it. There would always remain that half of the former days payment, pro viding he had counters small enough to make the payments. New York Trib. une.

A Man of Nerve.

A pretty exhibition was given by the
students of Springfield Medical college
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian association. 1t was the resus-
citation of a man who had been smoth-
ered by smoke. In large hall had been
erected wooden structure, which was
filed with Roman candles, firecrackers
and other ombustibles In the midst
of all these the unfortunate had been
placed for suffocation, and the building
fired.
Shortly afterward the victim of the
experiment was taken from the house of
smoke in a thoroughly unconscious con-
dition. He was put through process
of pumping and rubbing, and in the
course of thirty minutes was again walk
ing around the hall This Mr.. Taylor
thinks the quickest process he has ever
seen for bringing to life a person who
has been smothered or one who was suf-
focated from smoke.-Richmond Dis
