An 4 Astonishing Discovery.

An astonishing discovery in re-
gard to the production of electricity
is announced, which, if genuine,
will do away with the necessity of
burning coal. DR.. Borchers, of
Driesburg, Germany, says that he
has found that electricity is gen.
Grated by the conversion of
hydro carbon and carbonic oxide
into carbonic acid, and as this is
the same thing that takes place in
burning coal, he accomplishes the
same end by chemical means by
what he calls the wet process.
While a steam engine utilities about
twelve per cent of the theoretical
energy and a gas engine twenty per
cent, DR.. Borchers claims that his
new process gives no less than
per cent.

ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly q fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least it's coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things

Enelaud,s New Chief.

The coming commander-in-chief
of the British army, Lord Garnet
Joseph Wolseley, who on November
l will succeed the Duke OF Cam
bridge, has seen many years of
active military service and has with
considerable justice been called
"England's Only General" Since
1852, when he entered the army as
an ensign, he has been in the most
notable battles in which the British
army has been engaged. He was
an ensign during the second Bur
mese war. At the siege of Sebas-
topol he was a lieutenant, and rose
on that field to the rank of captain
in the first month of 1855.

BRIGHT YEAR FOR KAN, SCHOOL,
More Applicants for Admission Than
Can be Accommodated
Graduate Of Harvard FOR Normal Work
This YeAr-Farm and Dairy De-
pArtments

Notification was sent boys ex-
pecting 10 attend Kamehameha
school this year that opening day
would be today. They were re-
quested to return to Honolulu be-
fore that date or as near after as
possible. Owing, however, to the
recent outbreak Of cholera, the
school will not open until further
notice. More applicants for admis-
sion to Kamehameha have been re-
ceived than there is room to accom-
nodate.
twenty-five boys have been en-
ployed at the school throughout
the summer vacation.
Ralph Woodward, a graduate of
Harvard, and a former student at
normal school in Minnesota, will
assume charge of the normal work
this year. He is expected to arrive
by the next Australia.
The prospects are that there will
be seven or eight students In the
normal class this year, made up of
graduates of Kamehameha.
A pattern-making course will be
Instituted this year Benches for
the work have been constructed.
Two new machines have been
received at Kamehameha-one a
band and the other a patent circu-
lar saw.
a farm department similar 10
those of agricultural colleges in
the States, will be started this
year. Mr.. Rugg, who has worked
IN the University of California ex-
perimental gardens, will have
charge. Under this will come the
dairy department. A barn for the
accommodation of twelve COWS has
just been constructed. The object
is to teach the boys experimental
farming. The dairy will furnish
butter for the three schools of Ka-
besides milk enough for
the girls to learn butter-making.
Experiments will be undertaken in
the raising of pigs, chickens and
garden truck of all kinds.
Kamehameha will have a graded
course of labor, by means of which
students will be able to avail them
selves of the elements necessary to
their respective lines of work in
the future. ----
Last years graduates of Kane
have been very successful
IN the matter of obtaining posi-
ions. O. Crowell is principal of l
he Hilea school In Kau, Hawaii.
During the summer he built an
addition to the schoolhouss in
which he is to teach. d. Kanewa-
hui is principal of a school near G
4ahaina. He also did some car J
work on his school /
louse. w. Makakoa will assist G.

You hold the matter in suspense;
You hesitate -ahl all is lost;
The key is turned, the threshold

Seven dead loves you bring to view!
No wonder that you stand aghast.
You should not dive into the past,

Seven dead loves A heavy load
You see the first, little girl,
With violet eyes and teeth Of
pearl;
That was schoolboy episode.
When college days gave life glow,
And tender hearts wrought rapid
laughter,
I courted the professors daughter;
That's she, the second in the row.
/ scarcely know how it occurred;
l passed vacation with friend,
And, ere the weeks were at an end,
| loved his sister; she's the third.
A grim old lawyer taught me Kent,
l made his mansion my abode
And spoke some words not in the
Code;
His youngest girl knew what they
meant.
When fashions flame was all alive,
Where pleasure cast her golden
haze
Athwart the pathway of the days,
l met and worshipped number FIVE.
But yonder, where the maple tree
Casts shadows on the old stone
wall,
And slumbrous peace broods over
all,
A country maid enraptured me.
You see one other figure stand,
Whose memory shall forever last;
l hold it sacred since she passed
The portals of the Silent Land.
So Bluebeard lives, and l am he,
But, Fatima, come close the door;
You cannot love me any more,
