Visitors to the park on Sunday and
since that day have been wondering what
those great iron pipes were which were
being laid in n deep trench leading from
the north end Of the Mechanical Arts
building through the Hawaiian concession
and then around to the left into the north
end OF the grand court. These are the
great 24-inch pipes which are to feed the
electric fountain. The water is to be
pumped through them by the six great
pumps furnished to the exposition by
Dow Bros, and which are TO be located in
the norih end of the annex to the Mechan-
ical Arts building.
These pumps and pipes have capacity
OF l2.OoO,0O0 gallons day, and IT will

significant word on it, "Nile." The datd
is 1885. Admiral Sir Charles Beresior
led the forces. the remainder of which
were awarded these medals. Not every
man who started out on that expedition
lived to be decorated.
Now there are two collections which
were not awarded for bravery on
the field of action. but for a greater,
nober bravery, because when done the
beat of drums and the roar of cannon did
not stir their souls t, deeds of valor. One
of these is given by the British Govern
ment for "galantry and humanity" as the
coin itself says, IN saving the life of a
drowning person. This is the only medal
ever gwen by the British Governme nt in
COMMUNICATION of aught but naval or
military events. Such a medal is very
difficult to obtain and is very highly priced
BY the very few persons who possess
them.
The other civilian medal was given by
the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners
Royal Benevolent Society to Captain
Smiley in 1861. The medal itself bears
the legend, so there can be no doubt about
its correctness. In point of commercial
value, as judged by numismatics, this
medal is about as valuable as any one in
this collection, and there are medals in it
that no reasonable cash sum would buy.
The Waterloo medal is an interesting
one. Ii bears bust of George Regent and
Victory holding aloft wreath of laurels
mem Der Of the Tenth Hussars won this
coin. All OF those who lived to tell The
story of their fight under Wellington were
presented with one of these medals.
One of the French medals in this collec-
ton is hat given to the survivors of the
Tonquin war by the Republic of France
Six battles are named on it as follows:
Sontay, Bay Nivih, Fou Tcheou, Formosa,
Turyen Guam, Pescadores. Around these
six names IS laurel wreath. On the OBJ
verse side is the Goddess of Liberty
French medals are verv difficult 10 obtain,
for it is very seldom that Frenc ever
gets so poor that any amount of wealth
will induce him to part with the decoration
he has earned on the field of battle. He is
prouder of that than any other one thing,
and will usually lay down his life at a mo-
ment's notice to defend 1t.
One of the proudest medals of the col
ection is that If the Iron Cross of the

earned by a member of the Twentieth

There are two medals of the Northwest
ern rebellion In Canada in this collection.
One of them came from member of the
Ninth Battalion and the other from
colonel of the Marine Guards under Gen.
eral Middleton. Both bear the date 1885.
and are silent witnesses If many a dreary

must have seen many hours of hardship
and suffering from lack of food and forced
marches over the barren hills of the Pun

and his comrades this medal.
By far the most valuable medal in the
collection is that of the Pennsular war. II

NO MORE BIRDS.
An Assessment Laid on
Chinese Canaries.
Pay day on the Bear-A Fail From a
Ferry-Boat-The Steamer AL
vira Running.

Chinese employees of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company are having some diff
Guilty in dealing in canary birds now, as
orders have been issued by the company
that every bird taken eff one of their
STEAMERS will be taxed at the rate of 81
each.
For years the company's China steamers
have been bringing in large numbers of
birds. which are sold by the Chinese
sailors and deckhands for about one-fifth
the price ii costs to purchase songster in
an uptown birdstore.
Bird-dealrrs have IN ade complaint of this
competition In their business. and The
Mail Com pauy also objects to having the ir
<steamers turned into bird market.
1t Is a question whether the 81
charged by the company Is not an imposi-
ton, as the State wharfage tolls for la d.
ing anything from canary to an 500
pound weight of merchandise are only
cents. After the bird-purchaser has his
bargain landed safely on the dock cents
is all tie Mail Company has legal right
to charge him.
