Labor of a Balance Wheel.

The little balance wheel of watch
vibrates five times per second. Imag-
inc that this wheel, instead of swing
ing back and forth like a pendulum,
should roll on continuously over a
given surface. It's circumference in a
gentleman's watch of ordinary size is
two and one-quarter inches, and it
makes sweep in each direction OF
about three-fourths of its circumfer-
ence. In other words, it would traverse
in one second distance measuring
ABOUT eight and half inches. Accord
ing to this computation the balance
wheel of watch would travel in year
over "a distance of 3,677 miles in round
numbers, and it would take the little
wheel just six years and eight months
to circumvolve the globe by way of the
equator. Detroit Free Press.

And now tapped in ease, cannot help confess

Such rest my soft pillow doth often refuse
Through long months twas blowing and plant

When l was lad growing up on the farm

While there fell on the ear the Scripture words,

''VTHE FALL OF a GIANT.
FEELING Ono of the Big Pines of the North
:

- west.
A writer describes the saving down
of big fir tree in Washington forest.
The two loggers were at work when
she arrived, each standing on a spring
board. the end Of which was slipped
into notch cut in the base of the tree
four or five feet from the ground, She
had seen'them spatter kerosene oil upon
the saw, which had begun to move
hard. Then after a while the sound OF
its motion changed ''from dry CRATE
to dull, soft mumble," and thick
stream of turpentine oozed out of the
cleft. "Pitchr' exclaimed both men in
tone of disgust
I "Theres barrels of it in this tree"
saidone, land it's as slow as molasses
in January"
They settled themselves to work
again, but the saw moved with heavy
resistance.
"You'd better get the can, jim, said
the older man, and the other dropped
from his perch.
"Jest as well try to saw through
stick of taffy candy as this kind of
tree" explained the waiting logger.
Hes gone for the water can"
Jim came back presently, carrying a
leaky oil can heavy with water. A
wedge was driven into the tree well
above the saw, and the can hung upon
the wedge. so the water leaked down
upon the saw as it worked in and out.
"What good does it do?" l asked, in
credulously.
"Don' KNOW" returned jim. laboring
at the saw, but it makes awful easy
saving"
"Sort o freezes the pitch" said the
other, philosophically
AS matter of fact, the saw did move
more freely, drawing in a little cold
water each time, and the frozen"
pitch, mixed with water frothed out in
white foam. After long time of
heavy saving the teeth began to catch
more firmly. and few more moments
work brought the saw very near to the
''under-cut."
The fir stands beautifully erect. The
loggers squint up its length and say
oracularly which way twill fall. They
move the axes and can out of harm S

the saw in and out, like stertorous
breathing. Erect and motionless the
tree waits.
The men nod to each other; the saw
ing ceases; one handle is slipped off,
and the saw drawn all the way through
and laid back of the tree. One man
springs down and lifts his perch out,
and hands great mallet to the other
who still stands upon his spring-board
The mallet is lifted and a loud sonorous
chant rings through the stiffness: "All
clear ahead Timber!'
Then the mallet falls, once, twice,
thrice, upon the heads of the wedges.
There is a slight creaking, the logger
filings the mallet aside and rushes back

head stirs. Then, with rushing, thun-
dering roar, mingled with the sound of
the rending fibres of the trunk, the
giant tears its mighty arc through the
nir. A cloud of blackness envelops the
| fall the air is dark with dust and moss
and flying fragments
The roar is superb as the tree crashes
its way through the underbrush, louder
than cannon, but with no harshness;
more like some mighty breaker that
has climbed ten thousand miles of sea

A Papier-Mache Hospital.

Papier-mache, which can be COM
pressed almost to the solidity of iron,
promises to come into vogue as build
ing material. A portable hospital large
enough to accommodate twenty beds
has been made of compressed paper.
Every part of the building is numbered,
and the whole can be packed up in
such way as to be carried by three
transference trucks. These trucks are
SO planned as to form the basis of the
hospital, T-shaped joists of iron keep
ing the foundation steadily in place.
Over this comes flooring OF com
pressed and vanished paper boards,
which adapt themselves admirably to
cleanliness. The walls and neiling are
of the same material, whilst the beams,
composed OF thin galvanized iron wire,
connect the parallel walls. Holes are
bored between the walls and the cell
ing for purposes of ventilation, and the
windows are made of wire gauze with
transparent coating. Such a building
would be of great service in tropical
countries, especially if in addition to
its lightness and strength it can be
made fireproof.-N. Y Sun.

THE HYPHENATED NAME.


What the Mysterious Little Mark Signifies
Does any one know the exact value
Of hyphen in obtaining or retaining
standing in aristocratic society abroad?
We ask the question because we note
that certain persons who are supposed
to be in hot pursuit of such standing
have adopted the fashion of connecting
by hyphen names that used to be
written with entire independence of
each other.
Is there any occult charm for the CEN
sors of transatlantic society in will
liam-Smith." or in the ''William-
Smiths that does not lie in the ar
rangement usual in designating the
Individual Smith whose name is Will
liam, or in designating his family? We
do not now speak of French society. The
French are notoriously given to excess
in the matter of hyphens, but they con,
fine it, ordinarily, to the first two or
three names, and even then to initials,
as Monsieur J.-Henry Snoolss. They
would never write Henry-Snooks, OF
lies HenrySnool1s."
/ In England, on the other hand, where
two family names are used they are
united by hyphen sometimes But
that has nothing to do with this mys
| terious sign between the given and the
| Christian name. Can it be that there
| are Americans who do not know that
this little topographic character has &
normal and proper use, and that the
real difference between plain Johr
Smith and Mr.. John-Smith is that tht
! former is not snobbish or contemplate
and the latter is both?-N. Y. Times.

CROWN LANDS BILL.

The crown lands bill introduced
in the councils yesterday to vest
the title Of these properties In the
Provisional government, is a move
in the right direction. The bill,
upon reading, seemed to contain
many good and strong points, es-
pecialIy those providing for the
division and utilization of these
lands. 1t was referred to the judi
ciary committee where it will be
considered and reported back as
speedily as consistent. The bill
has been very carefully drawn and
revised in the executive council, as
stated by President Dole. 1t will
doubtless receive the endorsement
of the councils without material
change, and when it becomes a
law will be of the greatest benefit
to both the government and resi-
dents of Hawaii.

ANOTHER DEPOSIT.

During yesterday afternoon the
Postal Savings bank made another
deposit with the Hawaiian treasury
of $4,000 on the overdrawn draft of
several months ago. This, added
to the $4,000 deposit reported by
the minister of finance in councils
yesterday, brings the total deposit
up to $1,000, a good showing for
one week and the inevitable result
of a sound financial system.

AS this amount is distributed
eventually among all classes, 1T
means that the mechanic, the
tradesman and merchant will
share with the planter in the gen.
eral prosperity. The small indus
tries-bananas, pineapples, coffee,
ETC., are receiving an impetus
which must augment from year to
year, as the foreign demand for
them increases and new markets
are opened. Our coffee, in parti-
cular, as soon as it becomes more
widely known abroad, will be
sought for in quantities larger than
our growers are able to supply.
On the whole, the commercial re-
port for the current year is quite
fattering, and there is no reason
to doubt that it will continue to
brighten till it brings prosperity
and contentment to the household
of every industrious person in the
islands.

recently to arrange rowing
match. Both committees met yes
terday and decided to have the
contest take place on Saturday,

the time for the start.
Each club will put up $50 which
will go towards purchasing a cup

they will leave the islands if the viceroy
