The Popular Science News calls atten-
tion to most remarkable account of the
position of certain planets az located in
"Gulliver's Travels. " This book, writ
ten somewhere about 1926, contains the
following words: "Thcy spend the
greater part of their lives in observing
the celestial bodies, which they do by
the assistance of glasses far excelling
ours in goodness. They have likewise
discovered two lesser stars, or satellites,
which revolve about Mars, whereof the
innerInost is distant from the center of
the primary planet exactly three Of his
diameters and the outermost five. The
former revolves in the space Of 10 hours,
and the latter in 21l6, so that the
squares of their periodical times are very
near in the same proportion with the
cubes of their distance from the center
Of Mars. "
One hundred and fifty years before it
was known that Mars had u satellite,
when the theory that it had one would
have been met with ridicule, or at least
disbelief, the author of this remarkable
book described the exact number of satel-
lites that Mars possessed, told their loca-
tion and unusual speed; also peculiar
ity in the relation of the speed to the
central orb, popularity based upon no
principles with which astronomers are
familiar. A careful study Ct the state
ments made by many writer's of marked
ability will almost inevitably leafus to
the conclusion that certain imaginative
minds have the gift of prophecy, or, at
all events, there may be flashes of divi-
nation possibly unsuspected by the writ
ers themselves.

MUTlLATlON OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known as ssWorminv1

Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known "worming."
The fashionable mutilations to which
the dog has been subjected are three in
number-ear and tail cropping, and tho
strange operation known as worm
ing. Though the law prohibits tho
performance of the. operations which
lead to these mutilations, yet at least
two of them arc still carried out surrep-
titiously, and the third, "worming, !"
may also be practioed. At any rate
have seen it done in my young days. 1t
and the tail cropping can boast of a
venerable antiquity, and they also had
their raison d'etre in a superstitious be-
lief in their efficacy in preventing mad
ness or rabies. So long as the time of
Columella, the Roman writer on agri-
culture, the mutilation Of the dogs tail
was a popular and favorite procedure.
As he tells us in his "De Re Rusiioa''
that the shepherds believe that II, on
the fortieth day after the birth of pup
the last bone of its tail were bitten off,
the sinew (believed to be worm) would
follow the piece, after this the tail
would not grow and the dog could not
become rabid.
This superstitious notion has prevailed
for ages. and may still be entertained
in certain quarters. However this may
be, the fashion of removing a portion of
the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite
common. and if it is done with view
to the prevention of madness, it is at
any rate considered most desirable for
these animals to have a short, blunt tail,
because it improves their appearance
Some dogs have scarcely any tail left
/ have seen grooms and dog fanciers bite
off puppies tails as n matter of bust
ness, and some of these people have
shown me a fragment of sinew attached
to the amputated portion as the worn
in the tail. "
1t should be noted, in speaking of this
fashion, that a mongrel dog has been
termed "our" Latin curtus, or crop
tailed, because it usually had the tai
shortened, and according to ancient for.
est laws, man who had no right to the
privilege of the chase was Obliged to
cut off the tail of his dog, ON the plea
that, II dog has no tail to act as q
rudder, he cannot hunt game. Nine.

Sir James Outram, known as the Bay
ard of India, was mighty hunter"
and an accomplished swordsman. He
once performed the hazardous feat of
killing a tiger with his sword and from
the back of his horse General Niohol-
son performed similar feat
He rode round and round the tiger at
a gallop, gradually narrowing the circle,
until at last he was near enough to de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow. and if he had failed to kill the
tiger he himself would have been slain
The explanation of the feat is that
the tiger does not spring upon the horse
man during the circling process, because
he is watching his opportunity. As the
circle draw closer and closer upon him,
he becomes bewildered by the strange
maneuver. SO unlike that of any hunter
he has ever encountered. - Youth &
Companion.

DON'T TUB TOO MUCH.
Professor Cheeky Advances the idea That
II Is Injurious.

Bathing and the use Of soap, " says
Professor Cheeky, 'is 40 per cent more
injurious TO the human race than any
other form of stimulation to which peo-
pie arc addicted. If l should bathe a
man in proportion as much as he drank,
I'd kill him in one-h half the time. This
is called the age Of hurry and feverish
excitement; critics complain that people
are unwilling TO take time for any
thing. As "a matter Of fact, hours Of
precious time are worse than wasted
daily in the bathroom. If men would
preserve their health, there arc three
things they must do-first, leave soap
alone; second, got the skin loose from
the tissues Of the body; third, get rid Of
the idea that regularity in tho matter Of
sleep and meals is necessary to physical
well being"
"What are the objections to the use
of soap?" asked reporter to whom the
professor original views were a reve-
lation
There arc vital objections, ," was the
reply. "The kin, it is acknowledged,
bears most important relation to the
body, First 1t acts as protective
agent, covering the sensitive tissues Of

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
Just think itover and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line ard have just received lot OF the

long and extract about so per cent. of
the juice andldeliver the crushed cane in
a uniform layer to the roller mill,
thereby causing a perfect feed and in

THE CRUSHER will leave the "skin''

better chance to be expelled than if the
cane was ripped open subjecting the
pulp to the hard packing on the retnrner
bar of the roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will save labor in
handling of the cane, as an irregular
distribution of cane on the carrier will
not materially effect the regular and
even feed to the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will not require ad-
ditional steam or boiler power, as it has

The Crusher Is extracting 40 per cent. to 30
per cent. OF the juice beside cutting the cane
In pieces five TO six inches long and giving a
perfect, even and steady feed to the three

more work per day and could do much more II
are saving the labor of six men on the cane
carrier every day.
Everything about the Crusher works
smooth and easy, and the amount of steam
consumed is trfing, aa You may Judge, for We
are running two engines for the three mills
and have steam To spare for the Boiling House
from one 6x2O foot boiler. OF course with this

We are enabled to close down our mill much
more than ever before, and from experiments

KEKAHA PLANTATION, March %, 1896.
Messrs. Honolulu Iron Works Co., DEAR
SIRs: We have been working the Krajewski
Crusher since the beginning OF October 1894,
without delay and with the most satisfactory
results from the start. our daily work has
increased from 10 CHARTERS to 80 clarifiers 900
gallonsl with the same number of laborers as
we used before. Since We are using the Crusher
the extraction has increased considerably and
the trash leaves the Ioller mill drier than
formerly and make exc Blent fuel. By adding
the Crusher we apprehended that our steam.
ing capacity might be insufficient, but we find
that the Crusher and the three roller mill to-
gether consume less power than did the roll
er mill before alone. The extraction of the
Crusher amounts to 10 per cent. of the Juice
and the roller mill receives steady and
regular feed thereby decreasing the risk OF
breaking the roller shafts.
We can recommend the krejewski Cane
Crusher as a valuable addition to a mill which
will pay for itself In short time.-We remain
yours truly,
