"a woman is good deal like cat, 4" said
the philosopher in the neglige shirt. you
can never tell which way they're going to
jump"
"Wherefore?" asked the man in the al
paca coat.
~ was thinking of an incident that hap
pened over on the west side awhile ago
There is Il row of houses on IA street up there
that are rather close together. One day "A
man who lives along in the middle of the
row thought that he would have his house
painted, and he straightway went down
town and hired the painters to do the job.
His roof was one of the fancy single af-
fairs, and he wanted it painted red When
the time came TO paint the roof, the three
men who were working on the job fixed a
ladder upon it and took places on the lad
der-one at the peak, one in the middle and
one at the caves. They were painting along,
when suddenly the ladder gave way, and
they were thrown into the air The man at
the middle had gone down to the caves, and
the combined weight of the two tipped the
ladder up and threw the man at the peak
into the air rs if he had been sitting on the
business end Of catapult.
When the man at the peak went up. he
had a bucket of paint in his hand, and he
took it with him. The other two men
dropped to the ground, but he went away
over and fell against the wall of the next
house. When he was going down, the paint
flew out of the bucket, and some of it went
on the side of the house near which he
struck The painters fell about 30 feet and
were pretty badly hurt. The man who had
the fall from the peak of the roof lay on
the ground terribly injured. His back was
broken and so were his legs. The men were
all groaning, and quite crowd gathered
around. Somebody sent a call for an am
bulance. just then the woman who owned
the house on which the paint was splashed
came out She ran over to the man who
had his back broken and said, Are you
much hurt, my poor mann"
Hes pretty severely injured, num-"
said a bystander.
"Oh, Pm SO sorryI' she went on. rs
there anything L can do for the poor mans'
just then she turned and saw the splotcbes
of red paint on the side of the house.
Why" she screamed 'look at what the
loafer has donel He's splashed paint all
over my housed don't see how men can
be SO careless. He might have taken lit
tie pains to keep that paint off. Anyway,
I'll make his boss pay for it," And she
fiounced into the house and left the unfor-
tunate painters groaning on the ground

Composition of the Sun and Earth.

In the case of the sun we can see, with
the aid of the spectroscope, in about what
order some Of the constituents of its shell
are placed, but we can only scratch the sur
face of the earth and we know by direct
observation far less of the order in which
the deeper parts of its crust are laid down.
Here, however, the study of the sun comes
in to help us in the study of the earth.
On the sun metallic elements abound I'M
derneath the lighter substances forming
the upper OF outer portions of it's incaudes-
cent shell. There is reason to think that "A
similar order prevails in the crust of the
earth, and that deep down beneath the sur
face, if we could penetrate there, we should
find much larger proportion of the heav.
Ter metals than we find near the surface. -

The Kinau Sails-A Lost Boat-An-
other Phantom Ship-A China
mans Mistake.

This morning at the boat landing an
almond-eyed son Of Confucius, the
possessor Of particularly dainty tastes,
got a little mud on his shoes and was
looking around for something to wipe
it Of with, when piece of paper, just
what he desired, caught his eye and ne
stopped to pick it up. Without any
apparent cause the paper moved off few
inches just as Johns fingers touched
it, and John forgot all about his muddy
boots in his wild haste to get away from
the sorcery. A derisive shout went up
from the boat boys sitting on the bench.
Like a few other and more imortant
things in the vicinity, the paper had a
string on ii, and some one had pulled
the string
Events last evening proved Captain
Smiths fears, that the scow carry
ing anchor chains to the Miowera
would capsize, to have been well
grounded. After the anchors had been
raised from the Miowera's starboard
quarter, and the scow towed under her
bows and the end of line made fast
to the chain passed aboard, the craft
was found to be nearly full Of water and
the 5000 pound anchor had to be
dropped where it was to avoid sinking.
The tug went out with the scow again
to-day to take up the anchor and
move it to proper distance.
Captain Stott of the Miowera is
mourning the loss of the ships dingy,
the boat having disappeared while the
ships boats were moored together at
the buoy near the wreck. 1t is said
that the boat went adrift and was picked
up by native who brought it ashore,
and after day or two, no one coming
to claim the boat and pay him for pick
ing it up, he reprinted it, and it is now
doing duty under different name.
The Miowera's life boats are moored
to dredger back of the Pacific Mail
dock.
After the hard usage received by
Commodore Simonson's flagship and
her convoy last week, it will be neces.
sary for the latter to go on the dry
dock as soon as she can be spared
Mr.. Si.nonson thinks the damages will
amount to fully $500.
That there is dingy race on be-
tween the crews of the Adams and
Philadelphia is said to be a sure thing,
but what the stake is to be or when the
event is to come off, no one seems to
know.
The bark Paul Isenburg will sail for
San Francisco Friday, October 10th,

been decided to discharge one hundred

At an early hour this morning a -four
masted schooner was telephoned as
being in sight from Koko Head, but
vanished soon after, as vessels do some
times after being seen from that place
