More Bushes and Less Abstract Truth

EDITORS HERALD The point we made
against President Jordan's lecture upon
Heredity was that, under the plea OF
presenting scientific truths or conclu-
sions, he held up in very thin disguise
pictures which brought blush to the
cheek OF many pure maidens. This dis
guise OF language no more concealed the
indicate thought behind it than does a
mosquito bar conceal the black color OF
the Ethiopean's skin. Because fact ia
true in science is no reason why it should
be paraded before q promiscuous audi
ence.
Man is living. scientific fact, and it
may be that at some time in the future
some one OF the young women OF that
audience may be called on to treat
man for spinal disease; yet this is no
good reason for man walking the
street without clothing. The knowledge
necessary to master such matters should
be taught in schools Of physiology or
medicine, and not in promiscuous audi
ences.
1t ia safe to say no subject should be
discussed in a public assembly which
could not be discussed before the same

Some Instances of His Remarkable Feats
of Diving and Swimming.

Some Instances of His Remarkable Feats
of Diving and Swimming.
Among the natives who will go to the
Midwinter fair at San Francisco is James
Apu, now in Honolulu from Kauai, who
is the champion diver and surf rider of
that island. Many stories of the re-
markable feats performed by this man
in the water are related.
1t is said that he is so expert at diving
that he can stay under water for four
minutes at time and meanwhile catch
fish with spear and net which he uses
while on his submarine visit. He has
no fear of sharks and will take to the
water at any time and under any cir
cumstances. While on board one of the
island steamers a little while ago off
Diamond head Apu got fish hungry and
jumped overheard, caught some and re-
turned to the steamer in few minutes.
In 1884, while at Mololai in a small
schooner with three or four other ma
tives, after discussing several bottles of
gin the others left Apu on shore for
joke and sailed for Maui. Apu threw off
his clothes, tied them in a bundle on his
head and swan after the schooner, which
he soon caught up with. The others
would not let him in, SO he struck out
for himself and swan the entire distance,
reaching the Maui shore some time be-
fore the others. The distance is over
eight miles and the current swift and
dangerous.
Apu will give surf riding exhibitions
on his arrival at San Francisco, and the
board which he will use has been made
to order of redwood, which Apu says is
preferable to koa, being so much lighter.
1t will be painted black, that color be-
ing most obnoxious to sharks. This surf
board is - feet long, and when perform
ing Apu stands erect on it and goes
through variety of wonderful feats in
balancing, ete.--Hawaiian Star.

The Final Splurge,

Arthur Quiller-C ouch's story called

of a poor old couple who give the last
little entertainment to their friends be-

to be the usual thing for Cornish folks,
whose hospitality even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances is pro-
verbal. They like to make splash be-

at is surprising how many people are suffer-

The remark WAS made by a very prominent
professor, connected with one of the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said
'It is not these things that are troubling
people, but 1t is an advanced form of our old
enemy, the grip. People feel out of Sorts

National Handwriting.

If individual character influences in
dividual handwriting national charac-
ter should influence national handwrit-
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art of the Italian, the
pride of the Spaniard, the vivacity of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their penmanshlp.
1t may be so, but as rule it would
take an expert or an enthusiast to tell
the difference between the writing of
the shrewd ScotchnSan, the staid Eng
lishman and the lively Irishman. Ger
man handwriting. however, is truly in
dicative of the national character; it
requires nearly as much patience to
read it as to write it,
On the other hand, one seeks in vain
to discover the temper of jew from

Recently Mohave squaw in California
gave birth to twins. For woman to
bear twins is, in the eyes of the Mohaves,
a sure indication that the mother is the
consort of evil spirits and is a witch.
There is but one penalty-death for
mother and children. The portion of
the tribe of which the mother was a
member was summoned, and it was de-
cided to enforce the custom. The pa
pooses were Drained, but the mother was
doomed to more horrible fate.
Everything belonging to her was col
lected and placed in the "shack" with
her, the door closed up and fire applied
to the structure. With true Indian stole
ism she would not cry out and died with
out a murmur, and her soul passed to
the happy hunting grounds, where her
newborn babes had preceded her. In
two hours naught was left of the struc-
ture but smoldering embers. All this
occurred in less than half mile of The
Needles.-Needles Eye.

USE OF A FLYING MACHINE.
What May Be Gained by the Perfection G
the Invention.


What important purpose can fight in
air server Maxim, Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed of aeriation will
greatly exceed that of any terrestrial
locomotion.
From this follows an entire economic
change in the direction of rendering i'm
mense tracts of comparatively worthless
territory at distances of 20 to 40 miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to large extent accom-
plish what Henry George signs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable of carry
ing unseen at night large quantities of
explosives to the center of a city war

would be soon supplanted by arbitra-
tion as a matter of common sense and

The Earth's Journey.


The earth does not travel at the same
rate all through its journey. Its orbit
being elliptical, it must at some time
approach nearer to the sun than at
others and will take less time in NOV
ing through one part of its path than
through another. In winter the earth
is nearer the sun than in summer and
moves through space more rapidly. On
Jan. l the earth is about 5000, 900
miles nearer the sun than it is on July
1, and as the velocity of a planet in
creases with it nearness to the sun the
earth passes over one-half of its orbit
in less time than over the other half.
Between the vernal equinox, which
happens on March 21 and the autumnal
equinox, which falls on Sept. 23, the
earth is 1856 days in accomplishing that
half of her journey round the sun,
while the other half occupies only 179
days. 1t has been said that, owing to
the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons, the earth is moving more
slowly than it used to do, and that the
days are consequently lengthening, but
as this is only to the extent of half
second in a century it will be long
time before there will be any apparent
difference. Brooklyn Eagle.

A Queer Phenomenon of Nature Which Is
to Be Seen on a Farm Out In Oregon.
On the farm of S. R. T. Jones, about
three-fourths of o mile south of Hub
bard and only few rods from the stage
road, IS a curiosity which at present is
attracting considerable attention. 1t has
been noticed for the past 10 years, but
never has aroused such interest as in the
past few months. On a space of, say,
20 feet square, appears this what is it.
1t can be seen just after rain or while
the ground is filed or covered with wa
ter. There are numerous holes about as
large as common lead or slate pencils,
from which gas or air is constantly es-
Gaping with sound as of meat frying
or the Kissing of water on hot stove or
iron. Sometimes the pressure may be
stronger than at others, but it is there
just the same.
The pressure is so great that Il these
vents are closed they will in few min
utes send the mud flying as though a
miniature blast had exploded. A large,
heavy iron pan was inverted over some
of the strongest vents, the rim being
buried in mud, preventing any escape of
gas. A man then sat down on the pan
and awaited results, which were not
long in coming, as the pan and man wers
lifted bodily. The gas or air was forced
through hmewater, but no change was
noticed. 1t was tested by fire, but we
cannot sayi burned. One popularity of
the soil is that no matter how wet the
surrounding ground may be this spot

ter reveals nothing out of common
