The February Arena, in addition to brilliant
array Of American authors, presents two papers
of great interest by foreign essayists. Camille
Elammarion writes at length on New Discover
les on Mars" His paper is ompanied with q
full-page geographical map Alfred Russell
Wallace contributes striking paper on "The
Nature and Cause of Apparitions" Professor
Joseph Rodes Buchanan writes on the nature of
consumption of the lungs and the alleged dis
covery of Professor Koch, showing the weakness
in the claims of the German professor Helen
London writes vigorously on the rise of prudery,
which shields immortality and creates an un-
healthy morbid mind, which sees impurity
where a healthy imagination beholds only
beauty. The editor of the Arena contributes
striking ethical criticism of Ward McAllster's
book, ''Society as ] have found it," and Gen.
Booths I'm Darkest England" under the title
1.-THE Froth and the Dregs."
The unknown Library is the title of a new
series just begun by the Cassell Publishing
Company, which promises to be one of the suc-
cesses of the year. The stories written by
well-known writer's who prefer for the once to
write over a pseudonym The books are long
and narrow, just the right shape to clip readily
into the pocket of man or womans coat, and
are bound in flexible cloth. The first volume in
the Unknown" Library is "Mademoselle IXe,'
by Lance Falconer. 1t is the story of a Russian
Nlhilist. 1.-THE story of Eleanor Lambert by
Magdalen Brooke, is the second in the series.
The leading article in Belford's for February
is entitled Lincoln at Richmond; Admiral
Porters Mistakes" by Gen. M. NJ. Trumbull.
This is sharp criticism in some recent articles
by Admiral Porter which appeared in Belford's

Gen. Adam Badeau writes about Housekeeping
in Havana;" Mr.. Fred Perry Powers has strong
and thoughtful article on industrial Dis
content;" Elizabeth w. Bellamy tells of "Our

ALLEGED LEPROSY CURE.

The daughter of Charles ID. Rich
ards, the tea broker of San Francisco,
was for some time sufferer from
that dread disease, the leprosy. She
was in the habit of eating the tea
without cooking, and it is thought
she may have taken the disease into
her system in that way. 1t is said
that she has lately recovered, through
immersion in oxygen gas diluted with
air. She was made TO breathe tie
gas through tube. The Examiner
says that she was kept in the oxygen
bath for about a month, and when
she was taken out, her skin was as
white as snow. This case goes on
the record as the first one of leprosy
that has been cured, aud Doctor De
bevoise has been asked to explain
his treatment to the County Medical
Society" The permanency of the
cure has yet to be established. 1t
is thought that the oxygen burned to
death the microbes of the leprOsy.
Doctor Debevoise had endeavored to
cure the leprosy by injecting the
baciIli of cancer, which is claimed to
be a deadly enemy to the baclli of
leprosy, but it did not prove success
full. 1t is thought that the oxygen
cure will revolutionize the treatment
of this terrible disease. - Pacific

SOCIAL AND DANCE.

An enjoyable social and dance was
given at Arion hall by members of
Mrs. +. Gray's dancing class Mon
day night. Many were present who
INDUCED in the terpsichorean de-
lights with unwonted gaiety and
Iiveliness. Music for dancing was
started at O'Clock, and the dancers
"kept it up" to the wee sma' hours.
Mr.. Gray was floor manager and re-
gulated the dancing throughout.
Several extras had to be danced.
An interesting feature of the evening
consisted of dances new to those who
were not class members. Refresh
ments were served for considera-
ton and it was yet early in the even
ing when fresh supply had to be
ordered. The dance was success
in every way. Piper Donald Me-
Donald dropped in during the even
ing and gave several selections on
the bagpipes, which were danced to
with the prevailing lightheartedness
and lightfootedness.

The KING STREET FIRE.

On account of the foreign malls
arrival and the close engagement of
the BULLETIN staff or interesting
local matters, the fire on King street
of Tuesday morning was not fully
reported.
The fire broke out on the north
side of King street between Mauna-
kea and kekaulihe streets. At one
time it threatened the block, but by
the timely arrival of the steam en-
gines, which did grand work, the
fire was confined to three establish
ments.
The store of Sing 10y was the
largest retail establishment in that
part of the city, carrying q stock of
something like $26, 900 value, with
the following insurance: $4,000,
Royal Insurance Co., and $1,000,
Union Co. of New Zealand, with
Hon. J. S. Walker, agent for both
$1,000, Transatlantic Fire Insurance
Co., with Messrs. ii. Hackfeld &
Co. !; $4,000, British & Mercantile,
with Messrs. Hoffschlaeger q Co.
On the building there was $500,
North German Fire Insurance Co.,
with Messrs. Ii. Hackfeld & Co.
Next to Sing Logs, some ten feet
away, was the dry goods store of l..
Ahana, with stock valued at $500
insured in the Royal for $1,000.
Then came Ching Sing Song, drugs,
insured in the Royal for $4,000.
Owing to fire and water the salvage
on the goods of any loser will not
amount to much.

PENINSULA
OF PEARL CITY

This truly enchanting location for
suburban homes must be seen to be
appreciated a lovely grove of alge-
roba trees covers the entire grounds,
streets so feet in width are laid out,
and 6-inch pipes are being laid to
conduct water from a l0-inch arte-
sian well which is pronounced by
McCandIess Bros. to flow the sweet
est water of all the wells they have
bored on this island. The Railway
Co. have constructed two reservoirs
with storage capacity of over two
million gallons, and built flume ex-
tending 81 miles into Waiawa Val
ley, which in years of ordinary rain
fall will supply an abundance of
pure water for a large population;
to guard against such droughts as
we have experienced during the pre-
sent year, the Company have ordered
Blake Pump with capacity of
$50, 900 gallons per day, which will
be replaced by one or more of larger
capacity when needed. This pump
now due from the manufacturers will
be placed at once at the arteslan well
from which water will be forced into
the reservoirs, when not supplied
from the mountains.
A block containing an area of five
acAes has been reserved for a Hotel,
and another beautiful lot of the same
area is also reserved for Public
Park, which the Company propose
to make one of the most delightful
and attractive resorts to be found
anywhere.
This place has all the charms of
Waikiki, with the addition of an in
land sea seven miles long and four
miles wide, affording boating and
yachting facilities second to none in
the world.
Pearl City is situated about half
way between the extreme eastern
and western points of Pearl Harbor.
The makai end of Pearl City PENN
sula points to the entrance of the
harbor, and is destined some day
(not so remote as some peO-
pie may think) to be the great
commercial emporium of the Pacific.
The Pearl City Branch of the Com
pany's line extends down the centre
of the Peninsula within say 1000
feet of the shore on either side.
Bsg" Intending purchasers are in
vited by the o. X. & l.. Co. to call
at my office for free tickets and
maps of Pearl City.
The Company will bind themselves
in the deed to carry purchasers,
their families and servants for a
term of nine years from date of pur-
chase at u cents per mile first class,
and | cent per mile second-class.
Those who build residences on their
lots within II months from date of
purchase, will thereby secure re-
duction from the above rate for the
whole time of say 20 percent, max
ing the fare each way Is cents first
class, and 10 cents second class.
This rare spot of earth is quite
limited in area, and those who would
secure a lot valuable now but DIES.
tined in the near future to be worth
many times its present value, will be
wise to improve their opportunity.
Beg~ The valuable water privileges
attaching to the land have been pur
chased at an extra cost of severa
thousand dollars. Purchasers of lots
will therefore have the free privilege
of the fisheries.
