MID-OCEAN LETTERBOX.
How the Australian Sailors Send
and Receive Their Letters.

A peculiar custom prevails
among the shippers and fishermen
in Australian waters. These hardy
mariners are often for months at a
time away from their homes, cruis-
ing to and fro in search Of fish,
shells, coral or sponges. Away
from all communication with the
civilized world they have erected
on points of vantage situated near
much frequented ocean highways
high stones, to which they attached
an empty barrel at a convenient
height. Here they deposit all let
tiers they wish to mail, with money
for the postage, and pearl or a
bit of coral as a reward for the one
collecting this mail. In fact it is
nothing less than a letterbox on
the corner of the street. Regular
steamers passing weekly call at
those of the silent stations that are
most patronized, and system has
been found to leave some mail
there. All that is required is the
previous announcement at what
maiIpost letters are to be left, and
the heart of the lonesome mariner
may be gladdened with news from
home every week. A special tax
is now collected for calling at such
points.

OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
SmaH engines.
WHY not generate your power from one
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power TO your Pumps, Centri-
fugais, Elevators. PlowS. Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power foF
a radius of from Is TO 70 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
is now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at short
notice, and also has on hand a large
stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all Elec-
trical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Lighting
and Power Plants; also attention is given
to House and Marine Wiring.

Bad Luck of a Shark.

The shark, the maneater of the
deep" comes in for his share of
bad omen, as almost every sailor
who has been on salt water
knows" that when a shark persists
in following a ship for some time
one is doomed to die on board !;
and although you may point out
dozens of examples to the contrary
to the old tar he will persist in his
first belief.
But let the sharks bad omen
prove true, and some Of the crew
die, and then another superstition
as firmly believed as the first
springs up, and it is bad luck to
carry the dead body on board.
SO firmly IS this believed by
many sailors that men-o'-war' 5
men of good character and estab-
lished bravery in battle and storm
have deserted rather than go to
sea In a ship that carried a dead
body, even though it might be the

Just why "whistling" at sea
should be considered an i'll omen

many an old captain of the sailing

put an immediate stop to whistling
and often severely punish the man
who persists in offending in this
