ONE OF THE WONDERS OF NEW
ZEALAND.

The most curious of all objects in
New Zealand is that which the Maoris
call 'aweto" One is uncertain whether
to call it an animal or a plant. Ia the
first stages of its existence it is simply
a caterpillar about three or four inches
in length, and always found in connect
ion with the rata tree, kind of flower
ing myrtle. 1t appears that when it
reaches full is blr!3S isssif two or three
inches under the ground, win re, instead
OF undergoing the ordinary chrysalis
process, it becomes gradually transformed
into plant, which ex 4cSlI fills the body
and shoots up at the rack to a height of
eight or ten inches This plant resembles
in appearance diminutive bulrush; and
tho two, animal and plant, are always
found inseparable. Oae is apt to relegate
it to the domain of inn gination, among
dragons and merm aids; bat then its
existence and nature have been accepted
by the late Frank Buckllnd. How it
propagates its species is mystery. One
traveller, after describing its dual nature
calmly states that it is the grub of the
night butterfly. If SO, then the grub
must also become a butterfly, o. what
becomes of the species? One would be
ready to suppose that the grub really
does so, and that some fungus finds the
cast. off slough congenial quarters for its
growth. But as far as present observ-
alton goes the grub never becomes a
butterfly, but is changed in every case
into plant.

The New Insane Law .

According to the law passed by the
last legislature, which went into
force on July l, insane persons in
this state are given jury trials or not
just as the county Judge may elect.
Ii he thinks jury trial unnecessary
he can select two reputable ply
sicians to conduct the inquest.
The law provides further that
the court of inquiry may sit at any
place, even in the home of the de-
PENDANT, but it shall be necessary for
the latter to be present. The law
gives the judge the power to keep all
diSinterested persons from witness
ing the trial, and the effect of the
new measure in this respect will be
salutary because it will remove an
obstacle to those who postpone hav-
ing an inquiry in the earlier stages
OF the malady of their friends owing
to a dread of publicity, and thus per-
haps forever lose the opportunity to
cure the patient.

According to the calculations OF
the signal service. yesterday, today
and tomorrow were to be the average
warmest days of the year and indeed
it seems that they came pretty close
to hitting it, at least it has been
plenty hot enough for all purposes.
The mercury registered 80 above to-
day. While not as hot as it has been
before 1t seems more oppressive.
The soothing intelligence is fur
nished by the signal service that to-
morrow will be generally fair with
possible local showers and cooler.

The committee of the Hawaiian
Patriotic League met at the resi-
dence of J. A. Cummins at PM.
Sunday, to consider in what form
they would present the several lists
of signers and supporters of their
cause to Commissioner Blount.
Knowing, as they do, that the sign
ers of the royalist rolls include
men, women and minors, after dis
cussion it was decided to present
totals to the commissioner and
leave details to his Imagination.

Waikiki, and the night before a
similar gathering was reported at

LEFT the one-mile bridge at 5 80
A. NJ. on Saturday, reaching the
Pail at 6 As; from thence the trip
to Kaneohe was made in about Is
minutes, being all down grade.
After breakfast at Heeia pianta-
ton made fresh start. The trip
from thence on was a tedious one,
the roads not being in good condi-
ton for bicycle riding. The best
time was made between Kahuku
plantation and Waialua, the run
being made in about two hours
and quarter. After a good nights
rest started for town at 9 AS A. NJ,
the trip being uueventful, with the
exception of a luau at Leilehua,
arriving at Honolulu atfour o'clock
Sunday afternoon"

their pluck and endurance. They
all rode Columbia pneumatic
wheels, the tires of which are now
in as good condition as when they
started.
The actual running time from
Honolulu to Waialua, so miles,
was hours and II minutes, and
from Waialua to Honolulu, %
miles, 3 hours and 30 minutes.
The total distance of so miles was
accomplished in s minutes under
