investigating on his own ac-
count on some of his land
near Kamoiliili found d sub
terranean lake of excellent
water. SO far as explored the
water bed is nearly one
hundred and fifty feet square
and has an average depth of
eight feet. Mr. Ena expects
to pursue his exploration still
further and anticipates rich
find. He is not free from
trouble in the matter for the
reason that should his hidden
lake cover an area of several
thousand feet he is not GER
tain as to the ownership. It
is generally understood that
when a man buys q piece of
land he owns everything
above and below him and if
Mr.. Ena's lake should encroach
under his neighbor's property
there will be some difficulty
in locating a fence line and
regulating the stock of water.
Should the Government use it
for supplying the city it will
be a hard matter even with a
meter system to say whether
the water used during the day
belonged to John Doe or John
Ena. Then again if it should
be found that the water con-
tanned Bacteria it would be a
question for the Government
to decide whether Doe or Ena
was responsible. There's no
use talking, nature does d
great deal toward providing
things for humanity to worry |
over, and an underground !
lake will take the bloom of |
youth even from the cheek of |
a councilman.
But jokes aside Mr.. Ena's
discovery is of untold value to
the people of Honolulu, mas
much as the water supply is
not sufficient to meet the every
day demand. The charms
which the Islands have held
for tourists for years are grad
ually dying through want of
nourishing water, and steps
must sooner or later be taken
to remedy the trouble. If the
water in this hole is of the
right quality arrangements
should be made whereby the
holders of water privileges
could be benefited.
The Clauss Bread knife con-
tinues steadily to win the
confidence of the people. 1t
is really the best knife, irres-
pective of price, that can be
obtained. Three for a dollar.
Enamel Bath Tubs are as
necessary to a mans comfort
as a good fitting garment,
once it has been tried. A few
months ago a gentleman
bought one of us and put it in
a new house he was building.
In showing it to a friend the
other day he remarked that he
would not part with it for
double what it cost him. You
see he had got accustomed to
something good and recogniz-
ed the difference between it
and an ordinary zinc one.
Because these enamel tubs are
largely advertised and are
known to occupy places in the
houses of welI-tO-do people
does not mean that they are
so high priced that they are
out of sight of everyone but
the rich. They are moderate
in cost and within reach of
every one who believes that
cleanliness is next to d person

How one thing brings up

Speaking of the Volcano trir:
