sacred" Water Analysed.

A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England Of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred we'll at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs, Is the we'll that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life Of Ishmael. After
reading the results Of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water arc frequently attacked by
cholera.
The specimen examined, which was
Theoretically sealed in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise Of q
dervish, contained 60 grains Of chlorine
to the gallon. Water which contains sc
little as 0 grains Of chlorine to the gal
Ion is ordinarily regarded "a scarcely fl
for human consumption.
Moreover, in the case Of the Zem-Zem
we'll, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom Of pouring
the water over tho pilgrims and allow
ing it to run back into the we'll. The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree Of hardness, /"
three times rs great as that Of average
water. 1t also held 30 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
Is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long q time
sealed up in entire darkness. Forty
years Of such confinement had complete
ly sterilized it, but the chemical i'm

DRILLED IN MOONLIGHT.
MASSING OF UNIFORMED FORCES
OF THE REPUBLIC.
Fine Turn Out and Neat Maneuvering-
Had a Big Gossip of
the Battalion.

A large number of people assembled
at Union square last night to witness
the regimental drill and parade by
moonlight. Six companies turned out,
and were commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Fisher
After a pretty and very thorough
drill the march was to Ala
pal street to Beretania, down
Beretania to Fort, down Fort to King
and back to the square.
BATTALION NOTES.
When Company A, NIGH. fell in"
at the armory last night, forty three
men and the complement of lieuten-
ants mon CONS" came to attention"
at Captain Paul Smiths command. For
warming up the company was put
through the manual of arms. The
execution of movement was good
enough to elicit applause from the as
sembled brigade. OF course the Com
pany A officers and men were i'm
mensely pleased and the exhibition of
good feeling put all in good humor.
Having beaten all Corners at the butts,
the Sharpshooters now threaten to take
to drilling and enter the tests for that
500 cash prize to be competed for in
December. President Dole hangs up
the purse. The Sharpshooters are COM
fortably settled in their new room at the
Drill Shed.
Captain Joe Cammara is making an
exceptionally fine showing with what is

Captain "Chan" Wilder resumed
command of Company d last evening
and found that the boys had not been
allowed to become rusty while in charge

Improvement is noted in Company B.

Herr Berger and the band were never
better than last night. The new march
was voted nui loa maikai.
Lieut.. Col. Fisher seems to be right in
touch with the battalion and there was
never more successful drill than the
one he directed last night. The com.
mandant is interchangeable in his efforts
to build up and improve the brigade.
The medals for the June shoot will be
made in Honolulu.
Adiutant Pratt discharges his duties
to the letter of the regulation and assists
materially in steadying the battalion.
1t is generally conceded that Co.
