Hartford Times: Congress will not be asked to restore the ex-queen of Hawaii. The sentiment in congress is that such thing would be utterly impracticable and absurd. Hawaii will be left to it's own devices, But there are possible contin- gencies in which the people of this country might become greatly interested in those islands. One might arise out of the plan, said to have been started in British Col umbia, by agents of MT. Davies, the Eng lishman who has been so long and sedu- lously grooming Kafuiani, the Hawaiian queens daughter, for the succession, to get force from Canada to go to Hono- lulu and put the old woman back on the throne. That would be too obviously in the line of England's schemes. If that thing is attempted, it might start up a hornets nest of volunteers from Califor- nia and other quarters to go out to the islands to see fair play.
 TALK AT THE MEETING OF THE FRUIT GRowERs--A. c. Sternherg, Jr., of West Hartford, gave an interesting talk on high fertilization. He said the difference be- tween the successful farmer and the un- successful one is that the successful grow CT uses a system of high fertilization. By high fertilization he means as n uch as the fruit and land will stand. Take a peach tree under good cultivation, but not fertilized with chemical fertilizer. It will produce, say a basket of peaches, worth 50 cents. Let it be generously fer tilzed and next year it will produce two baskets, worth $1 basket
 Mr. J. H. Hale confirmed this view Hesaid the apple and peach trees through out the country are starving. He gave some interesting experiences in his own orchard.
 MT. Hubbard of Middletown said that orchards do not need nitrogeneous fertil- izer; what they need is phosphoric acid. The merits of South Carolina rock, so- called, which is a sort of fossil rock rich in phosphoric acid, and other fertilizers were discussed. But lately the prices have been put up by the middle men un- til South Carolina rock is no longer avail able. Perhaps the best thing is finely ground raw bone treated with sulphuric acid.

 Hartford Post: If you want a gooC ending to little party take all the guests into the dining room and turn out the gas Make them all sit around the table in the middle of which place soup plate. IT the soup plate put some common salt anC little alcohol. Light the alcohol anC then look at each others faces. They will look natural at first but as the alec hol burns out and the salt becomes igni ted the flame changes from yellow to blue and the changes in the face are very start ling. They all take on ghastly look Eyes stick out and the skin looks as the faces become almost black and whe1 the flame dies out and you go out into lighted room you unconsciously try anC wipe the black off But it doesn't come It's all the light from the salt.

The ex citement caused throughout the world a the time of the affair was quickly dispell ed by the prompt action of the governor general in cabling the true facts of th case to London.
