For many years a sandy mound on the

-. "A. Aaalze farm, Just south OF TINS
city, has been known as the hiding place
Of the fox. This winter the animals have
been unusually numerous and created
havoc in the henneries. The losses be-
came 50 great that tho farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves Of the pests.
A large quantity Of dynamite was pur-
chased, and four large charges were put
into the ground. For some reason the
fuses failed to discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried in the mound.
The mound is one Of the most productive
spots on the farm, and as the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he is in a pickle to know what to do,
as he is afraid to dig into the mound for
fear he may strike the stuff and send
himself to kingdom come. The owner
OF the farm insists that the dynamite
must be found, as he realizes that the
fact Of it being buried on tho farm is GO
ing to hurt the sale Of the farm or for
ever render several acres of his best land
valueless. -Wooster (O.) Dispatch.

IN the museums Of nearly all the large
colleges you will see what appear to be
sandy petrifactions much resembling
branches Of trees. You mey conclude
that these are the remains Of forest
monsters that grew In a PARKWAY geolog-
ical age, but if you will take the tIo1-
BILE to ask your guide, or, better still,
n OF che professors, who are always
handy, be will toll you d queer story
one, In fact, that "smacks of the mar
velous. These tame looking, supposed
to be sandy Petrifaotions are, in fact,
real "thunderbolts." Scientifically
speaking, they are "fulgurites. They
are composed OF a poor quality Of glass
and are made by the lightning striking
sandy deserts and plunging downward
and lstterly vitrifying all the sand with
which it comes in direct contact. On
the Sahara fulgurites are found in every
conceivable shape and size, some 80 or
more feet in length and 4 inches in di-
ametor, others not larger than a lead
pencil and still others not larger than a
knitting needle. Scientists usually con-
slider fulgurites as being a good index to
the size and force of discharge of the
lightning stroke which formed them.

A distinguished English scientist, Mr..
William Kinnear, in a magazine article
insists that the secret Of perennial youth
is to be found in the use Of distilled
water and phosphoric acid. He says
that death, or disease that produces
death, Is caused by the deposit in the
human system Of ~calcaIOous or earthly
matter, and that the drinking OF dis
titled water, which is itself a great dis
solvent, and the use also OF from 10 to
10 drops Of diluted phc1phoIic acid in
each tumblerful of water will remove
such deposits and prolong human life
to the very latest limit. In several Of
the great hotels In New York distilled
water is provided at the table and for
the use Of the guests in their rooms, aud
tho advertisement OF this fact attracts
many patrons. Detroit Free Press.

WE desire to call the attention
of the Marshal to the fact that
the pistol practice which goes on
in the Station House yard ecery-
day from early morn till dark,
is, and has been, an intolerable
nuisance to many people occupy
ing offices in the buildings in the
vicinity. Why is the peoples
money thus uselessly squandered
in this annoying and wasteful
expenditure of war material? Is
it to keep up the spirits of the
P. G.? or is it to train the special
spies how to shoot the very PEG
pie who pay, not for the bread
and butter, and the training alone
but, for the ammunition expended
Or perhaps, they are learning
how to shoot at American blue
jackets and marinesl At all
events Mr.. Marshal is, is right
and proper that you call a halt
on the destructive and expensive

army.

imagine any other cause for the
change which has come over
the dreams of the "virtuous

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-01-22


Among some of the "restric-
tons proposed by a local paper
against Chinese if more of them
should be imported here is the
registration of them. That is
another bluff. A most excellent
act relating to registration of all
persons residing in the country
was introduced last Session, and
was apparently endorsed by the
paper and the planters.
We say apparently because we
are very much inclined to believe
that there was no sincerity in
the stand taken by the reform
party. While the leaders of the
planters party pretended to favor
the Act. in some mysterious man
ner the Hawaiian members were
influenced against the measure
and the reform party took
certainly no pains to explain the
value of the proposed bill or to
disabuse the prejudices of their
Hawaiian colleagues. The Act.

should have gone into force. but
through the agency of some
miracle doctor it was transformed
into thin air, OF course such
transformations especially when.
the reform party is in power are
as frequent, as We all know, as
were the miracles Of old. But
what seems to substantiate
our assertion that the reform
party really Is opposed to the
registration measure is that not a
word has been said about that
act during the year that the p.
u. have managed affairs. If ii

Chinese immigration.

The Advertiser, as the organ
Of the planters is trying to throw
dust in the eyes of the commu-
nifty in its advocacy of a further
importation of Chinese coolie
labor Itspeaks in very hazy way
about the restriction provided Tor
in the laws of 1892, and holds out
promises that these restrictions
will be carried out to the letter,
and that the number of laborers
desired will not reach the limit
by a long sight. All this may be
swallowed by some of the Provi-
slonal Governments supporters
who are unfamiliar with the true
state of affairs relating to Chinese
immigration, and who have
had no opportunity to fathom the
trickery of the A dvertis r
and its faithful hackers the
planters. The fact is that in
spite of the newspapers pleasant
words and solemn, promises there
is no intention to bring Chinese
here, except on the same manner
as formerly has been the case.
And the reason is simply that the
Chinese viii not come under
any other conditions. If the plan
ters are allowed to import 5000
Chinese laborers, under contract
for three years. it simply means
that the country will, after the
three years have expired, number
5000 Chinese citizens more less
than those who will be killed bv
plantation lunas), and who will
enter into the usual competition
with our storekeepers, mechanics,
and working men. Because if once
here they will never be forced
to leave the country. and they
will never be made to observe
any of the restrictions which the
planters organ mention, and
no one knows it better than the
Adcertiser. We have seen this
to be the case every year. A
lawyer Ga fee) a writ of habeas
corpus a decision by our Supreme
Court and Mr.. Chinaman will be
as free as any other man in the
country and can do what he
pleases (and he won't please to
stay on the plantationl. We
do hope thata question OF such
Importance is not to be rushed
through by the government with
very exhaustive debate.
The attempt of some mem
bers of the Councils
to railroad a matter of this ma
tare should be promptly checked.
Ii the planters must have labor
why, may we ask, don't they go to
the United States for theml We
have been told that if we had
been annexed we could get all
the free labor desired from Amer
lea. Ii such labor for our plan
tatlons can be obtained in case of
annexation why can it not be OBJ
tanned nows We guess that the
free American laborers are ready
to go where there are dollars to
make-hut then the truth is that
the planters in Hawaii are very
willing 20 have free laborand very
unwilling to pay for it. In the
planters dreams the most
pleasant vision IS the Paradise of
the Pacific populated by nothing
except coolie laborers. planters
and their slave drivers. Then
indeed il would be Paradise,
