Lily Hall Caine.

The success of Miss Lily Hall Game,
a sister of the famous novelist, as an
actress, considering her very brief ca
reer on the boards, is almost phenome-
nal. ''It is worthy of remark, says a
chronicler, THAT very early in her
young girlhood she came under the roof
of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and perhaps
it is not too much to say that her great
proficiency in reciting blank verse was
acquired while the guest of the distin-
guished poet painter.

Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

following letter from Dir.
JOHN A. SooTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regard lg
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
Just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:

Hon. VIM. @. IRWIN, HONOLULU, ii. l.
DEAR SIR:-ln reply to yours OF Il 8
18th inst regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg to say, that it has now been
" peration day and pight during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased L am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
liz is shredding from 35e to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform iced
10 the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill OF
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc..
There is a saving of four az men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
TO regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from 4 to
per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally serious consideration In adding
new machinery, as in most mills the"
boiler power is tax d to it's highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand pecesstated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the fireA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
/ will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 10
see the machine at work to fully app G.
ciate its capabilities.
/ remain, very truly yours,

Curios About Respiration.

In each respiration an adult of the
human species inhales one pint Of air.
A healthy man will respire Is to 90
times per minute, or, say, 10000 times
a day; child, 25 to 80 times per min
ute. While standing, the adult average
respiration is % times per minute; ly-
ing down, 10 times. The superficial
area of the lungs-that is, of their
alveolar pace-averages 900 square
yards. The amount of air respired each
day is about 10, 900 quarts.
The amount of oxygen absorbed in
the san ne length of time is 500 liters, or
about 744 grams. The amount of car
bonic acid expired in "a hours is esti-
mated at 511.5 grams. Two-thirds Of

vines on . Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, o commercial
traveller In the south once propounded q
question to couple Of clergymen,
whom he encountered on q railroad
train, which illustrates how easily
man may be tripped on q simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into conversation with the minis
tiers and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
of DR.. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking OF the Holy Land, - said
the graceless commercial man, 81 was
quite interested TO read in q New York
paper recently that q party Of explorers
In Palestine had discovered hugo heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be Of the chill

were found in cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation.

men, much interested. II had not

to the other. What Is your opinion?

MINOR LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE.

The Historic Storm Which Wiped the Orig
inal Structure Out of Existence.
The Lighthouse on Minot's ledge
stands within the shadow of tragedy.
It is the second structure erected upon
the ledge. The first lighthouse and the
lives it held were claimed by the sea.
Begun in 1S4z and completed in No
vember, 184S, it was overwhelmed in
April, 1851. Its, destruction was the
most tragic event In the history of our
lighthouse establishment. The struc-
ture was an ocfagonal tower supported
upon wrought iron piles strengthened
by braces, The. piles penetrated five
feet into the rock. On the braces, 841a
feet above the mock, the keeper had con-
structed platform for the storage of
bulky articles and had fastened to the
lantern deck, SO feet above the rock, a
az inch hawser, which he had an
chored to a seven ton granite block.
Along this hawser articles were hoisted
up to the platform and there landed.
These Improvements were convenient
and fatal, not, however, to the keeper
who made them, for he was on shore
when the storm WHICH has become his
toric for its kpry burst over the coast.
