Special to THE MoRNISa CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE docunfents
laid before the Senate on the Hawaiian
question contain the hitherto unpublished
protest Of Queen Liliuokalani, addressed to
President Harrison. In 1T she says that
some OF her subjects. aided by aliens, have
renOunced their loyalty and reyolted against
the constitutional Government Of the king
dom. Upon receiving proof that the United
States Minister had abetted their unlawful
movements and caused troops to be landed
for that purpose she submitted to force, be-
lieving that he would not have acted that
way unless by authority Of the United
States Government. This action on her
part, she says. was prompted by three con-
sideratons: First, the futility of conflict
with the United States; second, desire TO
avoid violence, bloodshed and the destruc-
lion OF property, and. third. the certainty
she felt that this Government would right
whatever wrongs may have been inflicted in
the premises.

The Sensation of Falling.

Lord Sherbrooke' s racy style of mar
rative entered even into the descrip-
ton of his misfortunes. In the auto
biographical chapter there is an
account of his fall over a precipice-
fortunately ending in water. The
fall, he tells us, was said to be 120
feet, but he adds: "On this can give
no opinion, for my experience has
proved to me that the worst possible
way of measuring a height is to fall
down it. People," he says, "are de-
scribed in such situations as having
their whole life pass before them, as
losing their breath, as dead before
they reach the ground. None of

Action of the Earth Upon Bodies.

Years ago, when the bodies were
removed from the Cimetiere des In

which great numbers of the bodies
had been inferred together were
found to contain masses of a grayish
white soapy substance The matter
was not very well understood at that
time, but it is now known that the
remains of the dead are under certain
conditions transformed into such a
material, either wholly or in part,

Helping a Composer of Music.

Satisfied. When ideas would not

very singular means to help his gen

ter acted as a wonderful stimulant on
his imagination. While composing,
his brother, Leon Halevy, was al
ways with him, doctoring the verses
of the text and adding and scratch
ing syllables wherever it was neces-
ssary. For this reason he was called
''text surgeon" among his friends.

are noms des affaires-business names
merely. Their owners have other

NIoneX In Strawberries.

A grower stated to us that last year
he picked and shipped from three
acres the enormous amount of IA
tons of strawberries. These berries
brought as high as Is cents and as
low as cents per pound, but netted
an average of about 8 cents per
pound, or $2y24O. That would make
an acre of berries produce cash re-
turn of $746.6 2-3, which, consider,
ing the shortness of the berry season,
from four to five months, is pretty
good income on the money invested.

THE FIRST PRINTED BOOK.
Eighteen Copies of the Bible That Are
Held at Enormous Prices.

Eighteen Copies of the Bible That Are
Held at Enormous Prices.
1t is remarkable as well as most
interesting fact that the very first
use to which the discovery of print
ing was applied was in the produc-
ton of the Bible. This work was ac-
complished at Mentz some time be-
tween the year 1440 and 1445 by Cru
tenberg, the inventor of the art, and
one Faust, a goldsmith, who fur
nished the funds necessary to carry
on the work. If this first attempt at
printing had been but single page,
there would be less occasion to mar
vel at it's production, but when it is
known that the work was sent out
in two folio volumes, on paper of great
strength, fneness of texture and real
beauty, in ink that still holds its lus-
ter, and a register that the best mod
ern job printer would find difficulties
in excelling, the true character and
marvellous nature of the undertaking
become apparent
The work contained 1880 pages,
and as it was the first effort at a
new art must have involved an i'm
mense amount of mental and me-
chanical labor.
OF these relics of Gutenberg and
Faust 1S copies are known to still be
in existence. Four of these are
printed on vellum. Of the vellum
copies two are in England, one be-
ing in the "Greenville Collection of
Biblical Curios," the other in the
British museum. The third is safe
lyhoused in gold, glass and mahog-
any case in the Royal library at Ber-
lin, the other in the rooms of the
Royal institute at Paris.
OF the Ia remaining copies 10 are
in England, there being copies in
each of the following libraries: Ok
ford, Edinburgh, London and Brigh-
ton. The six still remaining are in
the collections of different book fan
cying mobiles. One of the four vel
lum copies changed hands in 1877
the consideration being a sum equal
to So, 500 in United States currency.
The only copy of this famous book
on this side of the Atlantic, as far as
I have been able to learn, is that in
the library of the late John Lenox,
New York city, This copy was pur-
chased by Mr.. Davidson at Lon
don book auction in the year 1S4S. 1t
cost Mr.. Lenox about $4,000, indie
pendent of outside expenses, and on
account of it's antiq' ity and its con-
nection with the early history of the
printers art was admitted duty free.

A peaut,fu, s,amese Cu,tom.


A beautiful custom of the people of
I'm is one by which they do honor
4 their dead At full moon in Octo-
br and again in November, three
Evenings are devoted to setting
lighted candles afoat on the border
gsof the sea in the belief that they will
be borne away to those who have
passed out of this life.
The humblest style in which the
( Ceremony can be performed is yet
pretty enough. The broad, strong
4 leaf of a plantain is bent or folded
into the shape of a boat or raft. In
the middle of this simple structure a
tiny taper is fixed upright. The
''katong" or raft, of which this is the
sseimplest form, is then kept ready in
the house until the auspicious mo-
ment-predicted by the family priest
has arrived
Then at this moment, when the
water is silvered over by the beams
of the broad, rising moon, the taper
ishghted and the tiny raft is launched
upon the waves.
~5Very slowly at first it makes its
way along the edge of the ebbing

( of these little stars of light may be

way toward the boundless sea, all

Miss Kate Foote spoke at the
monthly meeting of the Hartford In
dian association in the parlors of the
Gspter church and mentioned num-
Der of interesting experiences she had
among the Riscon and Aqua Caliente
tribes of Indians.
She gave vivid description of the
''hArning Of the eagle" one of the
customs of the tribe. When the
Syoung eagles are nearly old enough
to fly, the tribe goes to the cliffs with
ropes and ladders, and one climbs a
tree where there is nest. After a
battle with the old birds they capture
a yaung one. Men are stationed in
a hne,t to the village, and when the
eagle is caught the announcement is
passed along the line, so those in the
village hear of it at once. In the
evening all the members of the tribe
gather around fire, and from Z
o'clock until the next morning they
sing and dance. The eagle is killed
BY having its neck squeezed. The
Songs sung reminded Miss Foote of
tNancy Lee" Later at night the
eagle is placed in large basket and
thrown ON the fire. The fire is made
to burn fiercer than ever, and the
eagle is burned so that it can carry
messages to the friends of the Indian
in the happy hunting grounds. At
this ceremony gifts are made to the
poor of the tribe Hartford Courant.
