when he drags in the name of

we fear he has himself reached
the climax of obscenity. But
this slight break cannot destroy
the merits of the essay, which goes
on to deal with the hate and
rancor of Mr.. Hayne in a spirit
perfectly godlike and muddy with

Mr.. Hayne is to be congratu-

bringing of the highest class of

THE LATEST FAKE.
Another Volcano Not In It.

There was a tremendous ex-
element around town Thursday
morning. The word was given
out that a "volcano had
started outside the fishmarket,
and that the sea was boilding
hot within a radius of sixty
miles-more or less. Thurston
left his work as a combined
lawyer and diplomat and started
negotiations for q new cyclora-
ma. Old lady Nevin Arm

his latest almanac stories from
the time of resident Monroe.
Bush looked pale and prepared
to arrange for the millennium
and for a future edition of
9Ka Leo and natives and
foreigners dropped work and
with the GOODNESS of superb
bravery picked their way
through the muddy roads and
lanes to the fishmarket and
adjoining wharves.
And there they witnessed
the grand spectacle of the sea
afame. Fire and somke
bobbed up and it was moment
arily expected that Honolulu
would become a second Pompeii
or Herculaneum. 1t didn't all
the same. The reasons given
for the phenomenal display
were numerous and many of
them were quite plausible.
Somebody believe that it was a
volcanic eruption. Others
sr,elled sulphur Tor fish, and
claimed that 'one of Haynes
missionaries had dropped over
board. Again it was claimed
that the Spray had dropped"
something which was smoking
and a number of our wisest
citizens advanced theories about
escaped gases and other par
ticular points Of the Friend.
The truth was learned at
last, and peace reigned supreme
again.
S. j. Salter, for three years
in the employ of the Marine
and Life p rotective Association
of London and now residing in
Honolulu, gave the secret away.
It was simply a can attached
to life buoys and filed with
phosphate Of calcium, which
had been dropped. into the sea.
