and everything in the city, coming fresh
from the farm as he does, is new and
terrifying. Every alarm from the Bat
terry to Harlem is sounded on the big
gong attached to the walls, and many OF
the horses never get accustomed TO the
sound of it. These, of course, are in
stantly rejected. Others kick, rear and
prance. bat by and by settle down
enough for their first lesson.
A part of the floor Is partitioned of
for hose carriage, with the harness
ready for buckling on, suspended as it
is in every engine house. As soon as
the horses show no fear of the gong, they
are led out, two at a time under the
hsrness. Others, after being allowed to
smell of the leather, and seeing that
there is nothing to harm them, stand
very calmly. 1t does not take long for
the horse to learn that the sound Of the
gong means his moving, and some of
quick intelligence in few days learn to
Jump from their stalls without telling.
For the 6rst few days leading the
two green horses to the tender is all
that is attempted. There is no shouting
or hauling the horses about. They have
time to find out things are not going to
hurt them and then they are encouraged

About the middle of each stick curl
Gus piece of skin is fastened to the

state it is favorite resort for tourists,
Everybody who visits Hilo takes the reg
ular tourist stage line or mule or
private conveyance for the top of Mauna
Loa. 1t is lovely journey. The richness
of vegetation is seen along the route, and
as the road winds to the upper slopes of
the mountains a grand view is presented
of the country and the sea beyond. A
comfortable house on the road up the
mount ain, known as the Volcano House,
has long been maintained for the accom-
mediation of travellers. The slope of the
mountain is so gradual that it takes,
along the usual route up the mountain,
twenty miles of travel to gain an altitude
of $500 feet. The sight the tourist wit
nesses when he reaches the top and looks
down into the enormous abyss OF Mauna
Loa with its bubbling lava, its rising
smoke and fumes, and the kissing of
steam as it escapes from hundred

to put their heads under the collars OF
their own accord.
This is practiced over an over again
until the start at the sound of the gong
becomes second nature. Then comes
the most difficult work. The harness is
buckled on and the horses are started
out of the stable on q walk. They
must, of course, get accustomed to the
rattle of the engine behind them, but It
is quite slow work until they grow to
know the tender; then they are trotted
out, and. finally let out at full speed.
When horse has reached this point
in his education he is ready to 90
out to one of the fire stations. There
the firemen take the greatest pride in
helping new horse to learn his duties.
Here the horses are taught the value OF
time, or one would think SO, the way
| they get around in their stalls. Electric
buttons release their halters, and by the
time the fremen unbuckle the harness
from the overhead checks the horses are
there to receive it. Not second is lost
and the horses show as great an eager
ness as human beings in getting to the
fire.

It is to international yachting that
yachting in its higher form must look
for the perpetuation Of . healthy and
vigorous life always. There are several
trophies now offered for competition BY
yachting lovers of different Nations
First and foremost of these is always and
ever the Americas Cup, the sblue rib
bon Of the seas. This is an ugly piece
of silyerware offered by the Royal Yacht
Squadron il August, 1851, in order to
make q race for the American Schooner
yacht America, which was debarred from
sailing for the Queens Cup By the rules
OF the club. It was won By the Ameri-
ca and offered as perpetual challenge
cup for friendly competition by the
yachts Of the world No Nations cx-
sept England and Canada have chal-
lenged for it. England challenged in
1870, 1871, 1885, 1856 and 1857.
Canada challenged in 1876 and 1881.
The foreign yachts which hare striven
for the cup are Cambria, Livonia, Coun-
tess Of Dufferin, Atlanta. Genesta, Ga
latea and Thistle. The American yachts
which have successfully defended the
cup are the Magic, Columbia, Sappho,
Madeline, Mischief, Puritan. MaJdow wer
and Volunteer. The Columbia and
Eappho both sailed against the Livonia.

Vegetable Malformations.

Passing below ground, there are more
to be found than most per-
sons are aware OF. The peculiar con-
ditions that attend the subterranean
habit favor monstrous growths. Not
long ago cluster of sweet potatoes was
brought to me. Some were all red upon
the surface, others were all yellow, and
some were one half red and the other
side yellow. The Irish potato is fertile
in its freaks. Seemingly not content
with the underground situation, pota-
toes sometimes appear upon the branches
among the leaves. Occasionally potato
when planted whole will develop other
new and small potatoes beneath the skin
and out Of sight, which only calls to
mind how q hollow turnip may have its
cavity filed with an after growth of
foliage, only to be discovered when the
root is cut in two.
Sometimes the abnormal growths bear
a strong resemblance to some other OBJ
ject very far from the one really shown.

posing of the wires has not yet been in
troduced. The news from Hawaii is
that Hilo is again threatened by the
outpourings from Mauna Loa. When
the great eruption of 1880 threatened
Hilo the inhabitants concluded that
there was no hope of saving their
little village. The stream was making
straight for Hilo.
In the last days of its dow, however,
its progress was much less rapid. Still
il kept pushing on at the ratio OF 800
yards day. All the portable property
in the town was packed up, and the
people prepared to move at moments
notice. The lava stream split into two
large branches and seemed to be about
to encircle the town. The two arms
had reached the outskirts Of the village
when suddenly, without any pre-
monition, the flow stopped and the
movement was not renewed.

The largest iron lathe In the world Is
now finishing one of the two immense
barbettes for two recently constructed
Government ironclad cruisers. That
lathe is part Of the equipment Of
Buffalo IN. Y. factory, the Lake Erie
Engineering Works. Not even the
great works of Krupp, the gunmaker OF
Essen; the Woolwich arsenal, or the
United States Government establish
ments could turn these barbettes.
A barbette, it may be explained, IS
the tubular basis of the turret Of the
ironclad. It rises in the middle of the
ironclad, and through it the guns are
raised from the gunroom below, where
the loading is done to the turret, from
which they are fred. These barbettes,
when finished, viii be twenty feet In
diameter. They are rolled in quarter
sections, each weighing twenty tons,
and four cars are required for the ship
ment of the entire barbette.
The sections have to be worked down
to q specified weight, polished and
nodded for putting together, and rhe
greatness of the task may be imagined
from the fact that it viii require ux
weeks yet to finish the first bArbette.
Yet these busy works run day and night,
with only half an hours stoppage for
the machinery at noon and m hour in
the morning. New Orleans Picayune.

The Proper Cure Of the Throat.

DIR. William Hill points out that
throat diseases are often caused by
germs, by inhalation of sewer gas, etc.
It is singular and bene6cent provision
of nature that other organisms are
guarding the throat, and are always
ready to attack the invading germs. The
throat is provided with tonsils, both
faucial and lingual. These produce
phagocytes, or leucocytes, amoeboid
corpuscles, which actually swallow the
germs. DR.. Hill protests against the
practice, which is unfortunately becom-
ing too common, of cutting out the
tonsils. Even should they become en-
larged and horny, the toughened surface
can be removed, and the newly exposed
portion can go on producing the
corpuscles. Another thing which is IN
great degree dependent on the main
tenance of the tonslls In their normal
condition is the preservation of the teeth,
as the decay of teeth is largely due to
the inroads of germs. In regard to the
throat, DIR. Hill shows that obstruction
in the nose is the cause of many throat

The Academy OF Science, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, has added to the
treasures of the museum complete suit
of ancient armor from the Gilbert ISL
ands Also, some odd pieces OF warlike
paraphernalia used or worn by the dusky
warriors. All of these articles are be-
lieved tn be at least hundred years
old.
The coat of mail and helmet, all in
one piece, looks, when off the wearer,
like big wicker chair. When on, the
back of the chair apparently rises above
the wearer's head, which passes up
through the seat of the chair. The low
arms, which are really straps, pass over
his shoulders. The solid portion of the
lower part is the corselet, fastening
around the body
This curious garment is made of CO.
coanut fbre, twisted around and around
over thick cords, making dense fabric
stiff and stout as board. In color it re-
sembles unbleached linen. The material
is woven by hand, after which it is en-
broidered in regular pattern suggesting
| grotesque human figures. This curious
needlework is executed with cords made
| of twisted human hair.
With the singular costume just de-
scribed are worn yoke and pair Of
sleeves, also in one piece. Also, pair
Of leggings with short skirt at the top.
The skirt, leggings, sleeves and yoke
are made of brown cocoanut fibre, braid
| ed and knotted, until it looks very much
| like the common cocoa mating. The
thickness of these garments is something
surprising. It would seem that arrows
or spears could not penetrete this fabric.
The coat of mail keeps all the portions
Of the costume in place. The chair-Iike
| projection above the head is intended to
ward off arrows.
The work of making this costume
must have been incredibly tedious, judg-
| ing, by the fineness and regularity Of twist,
| stitch, strand and mesh. No doubt this
outfit of heathen warrior represents the
labor of years and the slavery Of women.
Possibly, carnage in addition, as the
hair used may have been taken from

can be conceived, as the great mountain
belches forth columns of fame and
smoke, while streams of redhot lava flow
down the sides. The lava streams some-
times pour down one side of the noun
tain and sometimes another. In 1S45
great lava river flowed far to the north
east and divided into two streams at the
base of Mauna Kea, which they partly
surrounded.
In 1880 another stream, escaping
from the same part of the big crater,
spread its burning food for ak days IN
the same direction, until it had deposited
on the surface Of the island 70O, 900, :
600 cubic metres of material. In
1852 stream flowed down the eastern
flank Of the mountain to the cultivated
coast regions and destroyed number Of
villages.
The great craters of the summit, how
ever, are not the sources of the largest
volumes of lava that are carried seaward.
Most OF the lava comes from orifces that
are far below the great dome of the vol
cano. It was thus that in 1855 food
of lava, pouring out Of an orlfice that
opened on the northeast side Of the
mountain. swept toward the sea until it
reachsd the outskirts Of Hilo, stopping
at time when all the people in that lit
tie town believed that theil homes were
doomed. This lava stream covered 200
square miles Of territory. It had an
average depth Of 100 feet, and its vol
ume would nearly have built Vesuvius.
Three years later great oriice opened
six miles to the north Of the big craters
OF the summit, and the stream that
poured out Of il flowed to the sea, and
half filed the Bay Of Kiholo.

It is almost in the centre of Hawaii, the
largest island in tie Hawaiian archipela-
20. The greatest elevations of the big
island are all active volcanoes, and their
enormous craters are now and then full
of boiling lava.
The other islands are also pltted with
craters, but plutonic phenomena are very
feebly displayed in them, and are chiefly
revealed only by the appearance at the
surface Of hot springs. The volcanoes
Of these lesser islands have lost their prim-
tive force, and most Of their cratcrs
and lava streams have become indistinct
and are covered with dense vegetation.
It is evident that volcanic fires in the
western part of the archipelago became
extinct many centuries ago.
Mauna Loa means ssthc great noun
tain" It rises by long and very gentle
slopes to height Of about 1000 feet.
The fact that its slopes are SO long and
gentle shows that its lava streams have
always been what they are to-day, so
completely 1ique6ed that they flow easily
for great distance and spread over the
country many miles away from their out
let. If they were Of more solid char
acter they would not travel SO far from
their vent, and the mountain would have
far sleeper slopes.
The mountain rises 5000 feet above
the zone of vegetation. Its summit is
crowned bya group of craters, specially
designated by the natives under the
name of Mokuavooveo. It is an immense
symmetrical abyss, with its longer axis
in north and south direction. At the
centre of this immense cavity is the
primitive crater. which has diameter
of about mile and half and depth
of over 1000 feet. It is still the most
active of Mauna Loa's craters, and lofty
buttes of scoria, some of them volcanic
vents and others extinct, are lifted high
above the bottom of this fearful abyss.
To the north and south of this greater
crater are terraces on which are many
volcanic vents, and others are scattered
along the sides of the great depression.
When Mauna Loa becomes fairly
active there is little rest for the people
of the island. The sight at night is one
of the most magnificent spectacles that
