started from the isolated group in 1871,
after Lieut. Wilkes had spent several years
at the Islands in the Peabody, but the col

Atlantic instead OF the high roof of the

However, the Hawaiians and their works
or art are closely akin to the other men,
bers OF the great Polynesian family, and
the products of their industry, and the eth
biological department possesses an abund-
ance OF material from these Pacific islands
farther to the south. All that has come
from the islands. which are now creating

Most gentle when not at war; the Poly
Desian was extremely cruel in battle and
a blood-thirsty ingenuity devised the most
horrible weapons. The great array of these
instruments of death, which are collected
in the cases of the department of ethnology
are terribly suggestive of the fortunes
which have been inflicted upon enemies
during centuries of habitual conflict The
highest skill of the savage was expended
in their construction, and the detail of
finish shown by them is truly marvellous
The native of the Pacific had no bow and
arrows, but his spears and clubs and tooth
edged blades are perfect of their kind. The
clubs were of every style; heavily
knobbed sticks-always handsomely fin
ished-to broad biade-like weapons, whose
fiat parts were decorated with minute
designs. The spears, some of them
are fifteen feet long, and armed with hor-
rible barbs, often consisting of several
rows of small sharks teeth, tightly sewed
to the shaft. These teeth gave the cutting
power to the natives swords and dagGers

Hope for the Future.
To the students of the past CT this re-
markable race it would seem that some
bright future is yet in store for a people
endowed with daring, and possessed of an
astronomical science and a skill in naviga-
ton which made them in remote centuries
the equals of the Norsemen or the fifteenth
century Spaniards in feats of marine ex-
pioration. The Sandwich Islands are the
most isolated bodies of land on the face of
the earth, and for long period its inhabi-
tahts enjoyed or suffered secluson from
contact with other men. But this isolation
OF lie did not always prevail, for during an
era OF great commotion among the people
OF all Polynesia some five or six centuries
past according to the oral records of the
natives, the islands in the north and the
more numerous groups to the south en-

The Need of Protection.

Neeu frOtecuOn.
The NEST serious obstacle to oyster Gull
ture in Maryland is the lack of protection
for planted oysters. No law gives any
rights to the owner in a bed which he has
created. In enc instance a farmer raised
100000 bushels of fine oysters on about
seventy acres of bottom. They were all
taken by tongTnen and dredgers. According
to the theory now held. the oyster beds are
the property Of the state. and no one person
has any more right to them than another
The oyster fisheries of Maryland now
afford precarious employment for a few
months in each year to about $1,000 oyster
men. They ought TO give profitable work
to 50J,0oo. They have paid to oystermen
about S2,m0,0C0 annually; they ought to paw
to cultiv2tors S6o,0J0U00 a year. Only a
very small part of the bottom which is
proper for oyster farming is now occupied
by natural beds, and it is safe to estimate
the total area of valuable oyster-producing
ground in the state at 1000 square miles, or
10000 acres. Much of this area could be
made to yield an annual profit of 1000 per
acre, and the profit on the whole, under a
thorough system of cultivation. would not
be less than 500 per acre. 1t is reckoned
that, when the whole of this area shall
have been developed. the future citizens of
Maryland will be able to draw an annual
ircome of over sG0,OOoOOO from the waters
of Chesapeake bay. The actual annual
value of the oyster beds, under a system
which is rapidly leading to their Complete
destruction. is less than per cent of their
possible value.
The oyster is as fixed and sedentary as
a potato. and its cultivation is as simple
as any other branch of agriculture One
great advantage of Chesapeake bay is that
It's waters are too fresh for star fishes In
Long Island sound these enemies often
come up in great armies to the beds. de-
stroyinS whole farms and leaving behind
them empty shells.
The fact is that the demand for Chesa-
peake oysters has outgrown the natural
supply. While legislation must interfere
for the protection of those which remain.
scientific methods must be adopted for in
creas;ng the yield. AS has been said. the
latter may be augmented almost indefi-
hiteiy. There are number of plans, tried
with success abroad, which might be pur-
sued to advantage here. Among these is
the collection of "spat' by means of such
cevices as tiles and bundles of twirs Az

A HYPNOTISED DOG.

All st. Petersburg recently went
wild over something new, and that is
nothing else than a dog which goes
off into hypnotic frances. This re-
markable animal belongs to NJ. Durov,
who was awarded a gold medal by the
Paris Academy Of Sciences for his or
iginal Investigations and discoveries
in the science of hypnotism as applied
to animals and its effects upon them.
Several tests have been made Of the
animal in the presence of no less a per
son than DR.. Afanasiev, Of the War
department One of the tests consisted
in placing several articles, as pencil,
ci gar case. handkerchief, cuff-buttOn,
etc. on the floor Then the dog, hay
ing been thrown into a hypnotic trance
by him, NJ Durov requested one of
the audience. which consisted Of sew
eral other physicians Of renown and
some newspaper men to think about
something and what the dog was TO
do with It, then TO write it on piece
Of paper and show it to the rest Of the
audience, excepting, Of course, himself
This was done, and the dog having
been brought in, what was the as
toni >hment Of the whole assemblage to
see the animal 20 up to the cigar
case, pick 1t mp and bring ii to the one
who had been indicated in the wish.
Another test consisted in laying sew
eral tubes with figures on them In a
certain order In a closed box At the
same time several pieces Of paper were
put upon the foOr bearing like num-
bers ca each. The dog was then called
in and required to place the pieces Of
paper in the same order as the cubes
were laid IN the closed and sealed box.
This he did, to the establishment ~ all
assembled The strangeness OF the
whole procedure is increased when II
IS remembered that NJ Durov knows
no more about what Is being done or
wished than the dog, and is,
therefore. entirely unable to prompt
him in any way.
