The Brown-Sequard Elixir.
The Riforma Medica, an Italian
journal, gives results of long series
of experiments with the Brown-Se-
Guard elixir and concludes that the
liquid, injected hypodermically, has
not the slightest lasting effect upon
the human organism; that the tri-
ding and transitory notifications Of
circulation, respiration, temperature
and muscular power are explicable
by the excitement and tension of the
subjects mind; that any rare and
transient improvement observed in
the treatment of various organic dis
eases by this method was due to sug-
gestion and the influence of magma
ton, to which causes alone is to be
attributed the cure Of some cases Of
hysteria and neurasthenia.

National Airs.

It is strange thing that the ma
tional airs of great countries are
short, while those of little countries
are very long. For instance, God

sian hymn is bars, and Hail, Colum-
bia," the foremost among the Ameri-
can airs, has % bars. On the other
hand, Slams national hymn has 70
bars, that OF Uruguay 70, Chili's As,
and so on. San Marine, the smallest
republic in the world, has the long

had taken dinner and started to.
ward Fort street. When neal
Hustace's grocery store, Mrs. Gauld
rode up on her wheel and dis
mounted. She carried in her hand
an ordinary riding whip with a
heavy handle.
Springing upon the sidewalk she
laid the lash vigorously across
Aliens shoulders several times,
accusing him the while of SANDER
ing her. Allen did not seem to
relish this and seized the whip.
Then Mrs. Gauld struck him in

COMPANY OF NATIVES.
HAWAIIAN oFFIcERs ARE ELECTED
TO THE LINE.


Company G, N. G. H., perfected
its organization Monday night anc
is now an active part of the mill
tary forces. A party of perhap:
one hundred native men assembled
at the Drill shed. The Sharpshoot
ers' room was at their disposal. A,
8 o'clock the application blank:
were placed upon the table and one
by one the new soldiers were sworn
in. Sixty well built men, all
natives, their ages ranging from 2r
to so, joined. Major Potter of the
general staff presided.
Immediately after the company
had been formed the election of
officers began. Captain Paul
Smith, Company A, had been asked
to stand for the captaincy, but had
declined owing to his late re-elec-
ton in his own company. Lieu
tenant q. w. r. King, Company
E, had also been asked to serve.
At first he thought favorably of the
matter, but declined at the last mo-
ment. Before the meeting Colonel
Mclean sent word from headquar-
tiers to the effect that an election of
native officers straight through
would be satisfactory. 1t was de-
cided that this should be done.
For captain, Henry kaia, priv
ate i'll Company A, L. J. Nahora
Hipa and Charles Wilcox were
nominated. Kaia was declared
elected. For first lieutenant, John
Kea, J. Morse, Nahora Hipa,
Charles Wilcox and A. s Ma
haulu were nominated. Mahaulu
declined. Wilcox withdrew in
favor Of Kea. Kea was elected.
Charles Wilcox. X. Kekaulike and
J. Morse were nominated for the
second lieutenanry. Wilcox was
elected.
A number Of men went to the
meeting with the intention of join
ing but could not get into the room
until too late. James H. Boyd, a
prime mover in the new Company,
was o,.e'of them and will now have
to come in as an elected member.
Company G will select Monday as
their drill night.

Popular opinion concerning the great
value of platinum is largely at fault.
according to The Industrial World. One
frequently hears the statement that
platinum is more valuable than gold.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Pure platinum is worth about %
an ounce. In recent years 1t has been n
low as 80 an ounce. Once. owing to
speculative corner, it reached the top
figure, $l7. but it soon fell to normal
Pure gold the world over has never
varying value of SEQ. ca an ounce. About
three tons Of platinum are annually con-
sumed in this country in the nsanufac-
ture of inoandescent electric lamps and
for similar purposes. At least another
ton is used in the manufacture Of arti.
fetal teeth.

RAIN INDICATIONS.

Why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Alb
soiute Certainty of Coming Storms.
In order to better understand the role
placed by cirrus clouds as rain iDdica.
tors, we must first discuss the causes OF
these occurrences. A study Of the wealth
er indications and barometrical read
ings, as they appear in our daily papers
from the report Of our Weather Bu-
reau." shows that areas Of high or low
air pressure are constantly passing over
the earth's surface in irregular succes.
sion. The areas Of high atmospheric
pressure-or barometric maxima, me.
teorologically xpressed-stay longer in
one locality than the areas Of low pres
sure - the depression or barometrioal
minima. These last are more or less de.
fined currents Of air, which circle in
the form Of wind around the region Of
the lowest atmospheric pressure, NOV
ing always from north to west or from
south to east--the reverse Of the hands
OF clock. IL must not be imagined,
however, that the air simply moves
around this area of deprQuion, but rather
that it is constantly being drawn into
its center and is carried upward in great
whirls or spirals. As the air rises, it OK.
pands and becomes colder. The vapors il
contains oondense into clouds and final
ly are transformed into rain. The CEN
ter of the barometrical depression is
therefore marked by cloudy, rainy
weather The wind which encircles the
depression becomes more active as the
difference OF the atmospheric pressure
becomes moro marked, OF, in other
words, as the barometer falls.
In brief, therefore, barometrical de.
pressions are caused by huge ascending
spirals, or whirls of air, which are car
ried upward to extreme heights, and
from there are waited in any direction
In these heights the humidity of the at.
mosphere is frozen and Is waited away
in closed forms which are composed Of
ice crystals. These are none other than
cirrus clouds, and they may float sew
eral hundred miles from tho seat of the
depression. IL will now be seen why
cirrus clouds may be justly regarded as
forerunners Of rain, even when they
make their appearance in clear weather.
They tell with absolute certainty of IN
approaching atmospheric depression,
and this is substantiated by gradual
falling Of the barometer soon after they
make their appearance. Home and

THE Widest LAND.


Oregon Has tho Honor Of Having the
Toughest Tract Known to Man.
Assistant Chief Goode Of the United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the wild
est region Of the entire United States is
an area of 1000 square miles lying in
the mountains between Roseburg and
Coquille in Douglas and Coos counties.
He describes it as q mysterious undis.
covered country, in which roams undis.
turbed wild game. and whose brooks
and rivers are filed with wild fowl. It
is nearly all covered with dense
growth Of pine. fir. hemlock and other
trees. Many Of the trees are Of enor-
nous size and stand 20 closely that 1t Ia
difficult for men to make their way be-
tween them. Where the trees are not &c
thick the heavy growth of bushes Of va.
rious kinds takes their place.
1t is country that is filed with all
kinds Of wild game. including. as re-
ported to him, elk. different kinds OF
bear, mountain lions, deer and other
animals. including lynx and others.
There are also the varied kinds of fowl.
The streams all have an abundance of
trout and other kinds Of fish. He pene-
trated into the wilds q dozen miles and
saw things that filled him with wonder
at the vastness Of the forest, and that
any one should attempt to live In it.
