communicate results to you if any. OF
course it is not secret treatment and
will be at any time exposed to you if
you desire it.
OF late | have correspOnded with
the best authorities on the subject,
have procured some valuable remedies
and have already began experiments
with such lepers, suspects, as are al
lowed at large.
Sufficient to say, that ] am a non
cOntagionist and therefore can see no
advantages in segregation. 1 admit
with the conclusions of the report,
that leprosy is communicable from
man to man, but no more than tuber-
culosis Consumption, or syphilis,
perhaps less than the last, as syphilis
is inoculable, and there are no anthem
tic data proving the inoculability of
leprosy.
But as say these opinions are mine,
backed by constant experiments and
arduOus study. l am backed also by
the report, but have no idea or inten-
ton to interfere with local legislation,
no more than | interfere with local
politics. But certainly have a right
to my own opinions with no desire to
make them public hence my resolution
to be no more party to a measure
that ! think useless and unscientific.
In a letter received from one of the
eminent dermatologists of the world
by the Australia, translate thus:
fRead the report carefully, compare
with your own observation all scien-
tific data at your disposal, and think
if you, the bearer of one of the cele-
brated medical names this applies to
my father, and not to myself; his
works and lectures are published in
English, German and Spanish besides
French) of the century, can continue
to support measure which is only
relic of the ignorance and barbarism
of the middle ages"
This to me has been the last blow
hence my resignation.
Yours respectfully,
q. TRoUSSEAU.

The board of education met at ,
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
There were present Vice-Presi-
dent w. D. Alexander, S. NJ. Da-
mon, w. w. Hall and Inspector
General A. T. Atkinson.
Secretary Smith read the min
utes of the previous meeting, which
were approved.
The special business upon which
the inspector general was sent to
Hawaii short time since, was
brought up.
Inspector Atkinson reported he
had made thorough examination
Of the case and charges, and was
able to report to the board that the
charges of ill-treatment of some of
the pupils of the government school
at Napoopoo, Hawaii, by the teach
ers, were not altogether well-found-
ed and, with one exception, he rec
commended that the teachers be
retained.
On motion the report of the in
spector general was accepted and
placed on file.
The board authorized that ar
rangements be made for supplying
the government English school at
Kilauea, Kauai, with pure water.
Applications for leave of absence
were read from Miss NJ. J. Coursen,
of the Fort street school, for health
considerations, from Mr. T. II. Glib
son, of Waimea, Kauai, and from
J. K. Burkett, of Koloa, Kauai.
After considerable discussion it
was decided to grant the applica-
tions with the understanding that
the two latter teachers were to sup
ply substitutes during their aD-
sence.
The resignation of Miss Hoppin,
teacher of the English school at
Makapala, North Kohala, Hawaii,
was read and accepted.
Miss May Logan was appointed
to fill the vacancy.
The board also decided that Mrs. |
E. E. Stevens take the position
previously occupied by Mrs. Forest
in the school at Pepeekeo, Hawaii.
a number of other matters went |
over until the next meeting.

HIS CREDITORS LEAD HIM
a MERRY DANCE.
Il Young Man Who Publishes
Directories and Collects
in Advance.


a young man named Dunbar
experienced some difficulty last
evening in getting away on the
Rio Janeiro. The first snag he
struck was when an affectionate
creditor stopped his passport. Dun
bar settled with this man, and,
after doing so, he boarded the
vessel. Several other creditors
then tried to Jump him for their
money, but he gave them the
laugh, and when the steamer de-
parted, he was walking the deck.
Dunbar arrived here some
months ago with a neat suit of
clothes and a plug hat. In addi-
ton to the wearing apparel, he had
his gall with him, and so he started
to work.
As he informed business men,
he came down as a representative
of a publishing house which makes
a speciality of printing directories.
The name of the firm was Dunbar
81 Co., and he was Mr.. Dunbar
himself.
He started in on his directory by
soliciting advertisements and col
Letting the cash in advance. In
the meantime he had scheme
which was destined to fill a long
felt want" He applied to the
government for franchise to
place tin sign on each corner
of the street with the name
of the thoroughfare painted
thereon. He also wanted the right
to put numbers over the doors of
residences so people would have no
in finding their abodes.
The matter came up in the coun-
ellis but his request was denied. |
The refusal did not phase the
young man bit and he started to
work anyhow. A few queer look
ing signs were tackled up around
town but it is not known whether |
be received any money or not for
his work.
He next commenced to go about
town collecting names for the d.
rectory. He was not very parti-
GUAR about getting a full list of
residents as it appeared that he
only had one reporters note book
and when that was filed the direc-
tory was complete. His careless
ness in this regard made people
talk and not a few of the persons
who had paid him cash in ad-
vance commenced to worry. To
cap the climax a gentleman arrived
IN town who knew the directory
man. He declared that he was
Sakir and that his name was not
Dunbar.
The alleged fakir then thought
.he place was getting too warm for
aim so he departed for a tour of
The other islands. He returned
he other day and departed last
light as previously mentioned.

The shah,s Highway.

The shah's highway, considered as an
agreeable promenade, or merely as a neces-
sary avenue of approach to great capital,
cannot be considered as q shining success.
Straight away in front of us as far as eye
can reach, it stretches over level plain
and up slight rise, bounded on one side
by the arrow straight line of iron telegraph
poles. The sky is slightly overcast fierce
wind blows in our faces, bringing dense
clouds of dust, which rise at times to a
great height in the distance, often taking
the form Of waterspouts or Of towering COL
umns of smoke. Once enveloped in one
of these travelling duststorms, there is
nothing to do but hold our heads down,
and with eyes tightly shut ride through it,
emerging on the other side white bearded
and powdered like millers.
Sometimes we try to avoid these encoun-
ters by riding over the rough anu broken
ground on one side. There are many wrecks

A Monstrous word.

A paper read before the chemical section
of the British association by Mr.. Bevan
Lean, B. &c., Berkeley fellow of Owens col
lege, is a striking illustration of the man.
ner in which the scientists are adding to il
not enriching our language. The subject
treated was Ethyl Bitanetetracarboxyli
Acid and It's Derivatives" and the follow
ing paragraph fairly represents the sesqui-
pedalian style Of the paper:
"When sodmalonic ether is treated with
ethylene bromide, the chief product is ethyl
ylenedicarboxylate. But at the
same time small quantity Of an oil of high
boiling point is formed. which Is ethyl but
anetetracarboxylate. The fact that this
interesting substance Is produced In such
small quantities made its further investi-
cation almost matter of impossibility.
More recently, however, Professor Perkins
has found that the substitution OF ethylene
chloride for the bromide is effectual in
greatly increasing the yield Of ethyl butan-
etetracarboxylate. When treated with sodi-
um ethyl butanetetracarboxylat forms q
bisodium compound, which reacts readily
with the iodides or chlorides of the alcohol
radicals. For example, when acted on by
methyliodide the reaction takes place,
ethyl anetetracarboxylate be-
ing formed"
And SO on. Mr. Lean rolling out his caco-
phonous compounds with evident xest till
In final effort he produces ''ethyl dibro-
mobutanetetracarbox How Aristo-
