Senate Reyels in Hawaii Again.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Hawaiian

cable in particular were the main themes
before the senate, but nothing except talk
resulted on the item in the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill of 1000 for
Immediately beginning cable construction
between the United States and Hawaii.
1t will probably be ruled out on point of
order. The bill for a new postoffice build

CLEVELAND THE ARBITER.
He Settles . boundary Dispute Between
Brazil and Argentina.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE president
yesterday announced through the secre-
tary of state his decision as arbitrator be-
tween Brazil and Argentina in the bound
ary dispute between the two countries
over the Missiones territory. At O'Clock
in the afternoon Baron Rio Branca, the
special Brazilian envoy, with the members
Of the commission and Senor Zeballos,
the Argentine minister, who was clothed
with special functions as the representa-
tive of his governments claims, appeared
at the state department and received from
the hands Of Secretary Gresham a copy of
the presidents decision, which was favor
able to Brazil.
The document was quite long and much
Of it was given up to a recital Of the pro-
visions Of the treaty of Sept. T. 1ss9, by
which the two countries agreed to submit
the questions at issue to the arbitration
of the president of the United States and
Stated at length the exac. measures to be
terminated by the arbitrator. The sub
stance of the presidents decision is con-
tanned in the following paragraph:
THAT the boundary line between the
Argentine Republic and the United States
Of Brazil, i'll that part submitted to me
Tor arbitration and decision, is constituted
and shall be established by and upon
the rivers Pepiri (also called Pepiri-
Guazu) and San Antonio, towit: the
rivers which Brazil has designated in the
arguments and documents submitted to
me as constituting the boundary, and
hereinbefore denominatcd the westerly
system"
The territory involved covers an area Of
81 ,0oO square miles and has a population
Of 1900 inhabitants. In early colonial
times it was the subject of frequent con-
troversy between the crowns Of Portugal
and Spain, and many efforts have been
made in more recent times to arrange the
dispute between Brazil and Argentine by
treaty, but all without success up to this
time

WANTS MODERNIZING.
The Naxos Emery Industry - Must
Have More Scientific Methods.

The Naxos Emery Industry - Must
Have More Scientific Methods.
Naxos, one of the largest and most
famous of the Cyclades islands OF
Greece, has from time immemorial
produced emery on a large scale, but
times are changing, and unless re-
sort is had to scientific engineering,
the glory of the place will have fed.
Two villages have had the monopoly
of emery mining, and have sent out
daily about six hundred workmen,
who, in the most archaic fashion,
have set to work. The rock has
been exclusively broken up by fire,
the method being to clear a space,
pile brushwood on it, light a fire,
and, when the fire is dying out,
throw water on the glowing rock to
split it. Under such conditions only
the surface strata could be utilized.
but these are played out, and the
supply of brushwood is played out
also. Experts who have been con-
suited by the Grecian government
have recommended the resort to sys-
tematic quarry borings, the use Of
powerful explosives, wire ropeways
and other familiar appliances. In
the meantime the Naxos industry is
practically at a standstill, aud other
deposits elsewhere have things all
their own way, because they are
properly handled. 1t is said that in
the United States the development
Of large corundum beds in North
Carolina is doing much to modify
the state of the industry.

WONDERS IN EGGS.


A chicken raiser near Rolfe, To-,
is the owner of Plymouth Rock hen
that is genuine freak in her way.
For weeks at a time she will regular
ly lay eggs without the least sem.
blance of covering in the shape of
a shell, but with white and yolk of
such firm and unyiclding texture as
to stand without nattening, as in the
ordinary skinny" egg. These eggs
are as hard as the average "hard
boiled" and may be cut in two with
out danger Of spilling the contents
of the leathery membrane which
forms the covering. That the above
is "out of the ordinary" all will ad-
nit, but it is only half of the queer
story that is told concerning the
feathered monstrosity.
After laying q number Of these
curious shelless eggs, a period from
q week to ten days will elapse in
which there is q total cesSatlOn oI
the egg business as far as this one
hen is concerned, and then the real
"wonder egg" is deposited. This
egg is just the opposite to those men
toned above, being entirely COM
posed of shell material, and OF about
the same specific gravity as an equal
bulk of common chalk. Six of these
wonderful eggs have been secured
up to October !, and three of the
number have been sawn asunder so
rs to show their composition. The
Rolfe man has been offered one hun
dred dollars apiece for each OF these
solid eggs, and has so far refused to
part with q single specimen. Pitts

A Novel Rat Poison.

Enormous business has been done
lately at French fairs by man who
professed to sell a rat powder that was
perfectly harmless, and that struck
rats dead on the spot. In order to
convince the skeptical, the man first
of all powdered slice of bread with
the stuff and ate q piece of it himself.
Then he put the remainder under a
glass case, in which rat was kept in
captivity. The rat went to eat the
bread and instantly fell dead. At
FIVE pence a box the powder went of
like hot rolls, and the lucky proprie-
tor of the specific was in fair way to
make fortune. But the police, who
in France are very active in protect
ing the people from fraud, looked into
the matter and found that the powder
was nothing but ordinary sugar. They
also discovered that the case WAS con-
nected with a powerful electric bat
terry, and that the moment the rat
touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus his death
was brought about. The man was
arrested at the fair of Abb.

A Word for Spanish Pindars.

To the Editor of the Ncws and Courier:
For the information Of your Bonneau
correspondent and others I will say some-
thing moro about Spanish pindars.
l. They are certainly rs good for people
to eat as the old, common sort. Some
people think they are better. think
that most OF the parched pindars sold in
the towns in Barnwell County by the
pindar venders are the Spanish, as be-
iieve that moro of them are planted in
this county than the old sort. planted
in my garden last year an ordinary size
garden square in the Spanish variety,
lust to boil, and that square furnished us
all and more than we could eat. and better
boiled pindars l never did eat, and have
been eating them all. my life. l have
never met the man yet who could eat
more boiled pindars, well salted, than
can, and may say parched pindars too,
as my friend Mr.. J. D. Grimes, of colston,
Barnwell County, can testify. The Ohio
man is right. Spanish pindars are good
to eat.
2. They do not impoverish tho ground,
but improve it, even when pulled UP,
pindars, vine and all, to be fed to stock.
This is the experience OF Capt. Leroy f.
Wilson, of Allenda!e, who has been
planting them steadily for good many
years, and plants them in preference to
the old sort. He thinks that tho reason,
or one reason, that they do not hurt the
land, being such tremendous bearers, is
that they shade The land so completely,
which Is always a great benefit to land.
When, however, tho pindars are not
pulled up, but left in tho field for the
hogs to root and fatten. the land must be
and is greatly improved by tho quantity
of vegetable matter that is left in the soil.
have never herd any one say that
Spanish pindars arc Injurious to the
ground, but always tho other way.
There mead bo no fear Of them on this
ground.
3. The quantity Of them That can be
raised on an acre will depend, like other
crops, on The strength, adaptability of the
soil, tho seasons and the thorcughness OF
the cultivation. I believe that $50 bush
els to the acre on ordinary land is not an
overestimate. Say seventy rows to the
acre and fifteen inches apart on the rows
would give 1GS bunches, every two OF
which, it may be safely said, will turn
out a quart of pindars, which will give
2s bushels to the row. Seventy, the
number of rows in an acre. multiplied by
"a bushels, the yield OF one row, would
