The Hawaiian islands, as the result of recent explorations, have been found to be richer in animal life than was formerly supposed. As the result of years investigation by the British Association, through it's committee, 1t has been found that of birds there are seventy-eight species, of which fifty
 seven are peculiar to this group. All the land and fresh water shells are peculiar, and of a thousand species of insects, seven hundred are not found elsewhere. It thus seems that these islands have by no means been populated from the continent, but have been centers of independent creation.

mis- reoently announced


Edward Vroom's recently announced
purpose of producing Francois Coppe's
For the Crown in o New York theater,
containing an audience which has sub
scrl ped to and guaranteed the perform
Gnces, recalls thu Theater of Arts and
Letters which existed for season four
years ago. The failure of that institu.
ton was due to four causes: The exclu-
sion of newspaper men. the staging of
pieces written by novelists insteads of
pieces written by dramatists, the pro-
duction of plays after a few rehearsals,
whereas many rehearsals were proposed,
and the EN- ployment of moro actors than
were needed at salaties in excess of what
they had been paid before. Mr.. Vroom,
however, says that his scheme resen. bles
in no respect the Theater of Arts and
Letters. and that he proposes in the first
place sc steer cleo. of the tour reef men
toned. He says it is his intention to
produce For the Crown just as other
managers prod uce their plays, nut that
as 1t does not contain fire engines, pile
drivers. cable cars, live stock or tread
mills, persons have been found in New
York willing to invest money in its pre-
sentation in q frst-class theater with a
irst-class company, so that tho manage
ment may be insured against possible
loss. Francois Cope Is. of course, one
of the most exquisite and imaginative
writer's in the French language. His
play did not fail at the Cemedis Fran
calse in Paris. Providing it is produced
by Mr.. Vroom under tn Q conditions he
has imposed upon himself, there 10 no
reason why his project should not be

RAT PORTAGE, Man, March IL
The Sultana gold mine shaft house
took fire in the drying room this
afternoon. 1t is supposed to have
been started by pipe in the pocket
of coat left hanging on the wall.
Foreman Johnson, noticing the fire,
called to the men to assist in put
ting it out, but all ran away, being
afraid of explosives in the drying
room. Johnson rushed into the fiery
room, removed two boxes of powder
and then directed his attention TO
an attempt to save the building.
There was no fire protection. A
bucket brigade was organized, but
it was of no avail, as the shaft house
was completely consumed.
The fire started at l o'clock, and
until 1:30 no effort could possibly be
made to assist the men in the shaft.
As soon as the ruins were sufficiently
cooled it was found that the tim
bers lining the shaft were blazing
and water was then directed to these
timbers, but in the great excite
ment the greater portion was falling
uselessly down the shaft.
Shortly after o'clock the fire was
eXtinguished in the shaft, and the
men descended and found six men
on the first level, apparently all
suffocated. They descended to the
lower level, and there found three
more, but the men were in better
condition than the others, and efforts
were begun to raise all of them
The first three raised were suffering
severely, but were resuscitated after
a short time. The fourth man, John
LAGER, was very low when he ar
rived at the surface, and died shortly
afterwards. The others were in a
critical condition when brought up,
but all recovered except Randolph
Erickson.
The eight rescued are: Alexander
Nelson, Randolph Erickson, J. Erick-
son, r. Strand, w. Prynn, Charles
Engstrom, c. c. Peterson and c.
Don. Prynn was found badly
burned on the back. 1t seems the
air shaft ignited and caused a sue
ton of air from the bottom of the
shaft, depriving the men of fresh
air and also causing the smoke ta
descend the shaft, and when found
all were unconscious. Z

BADGER STATE NORMAL,
Superior Making Another Fight
for the New School

MADISON, Wis, March 11.-There is
a possibility of a lively contest over the
passage of the normal school appro-
priation bill. 1t was reported favorably
by the joint committee on claims, but
its passage is not assured as yet, as the
Eau Claire people openly threatened
at the hearing of the committee to de-
feat the measure if possible on the floor
of the house if the bill was reported
favorably, unless they should be as
sured that the new normal school which
is provided for by the bill should be To-
Gated in their city.
Superior also has put in another bid
for the new normal school, and is act
lively in the contest for the prize. Those
who champion the cause of Superior
insist that the action of the board of
regents in removing the school from
superior last year was wholly unwar-
ranted, and that the wrong can only
be rtghted by locating the new seventh
normal school in that city.
Some compromise will be attempted.
but, If 1t is not effected, a lively con-
test in the two houses over the bill is
almost cehtain to occur.

summer Residents Kick.

WAUKESHA, Wis, March 11.-Some
of the residents who have summer
homes on the shore of the chain OF
lakes including upper and lower Ma
shotah and upper and lower Nemah-
bin are opposed to having a canal put
in by the Oconomowoc Improvement
company. They are making strenu-
Gus efforts against 1t. They claim that
by obtaining sufficient water in the
canal to carry steamboats, the lakes
will be lowered and lower Nemahbin
being the most shallow of the four,
is likely to be transformed into little
more than a mud-hoIe.
