The Earth Reprodu need.

Elisee Reclus, the French geo.
grapher, is out with a plan to
construct globe, a facsimile OF
the earth, on scale that shall be
exactly one-hundred thousandth
part of the actual size.
The magnitude of the work will
be appreciated when it is stated
that the structure will be 418 feet
In diameter, so that the Bartholdi
statue, if erected inside of it,
would not reach to its center.
This enormous size is considered
to be necessary in order to allow
of the surface being modelled with
minute accuracy and in true pro-
portions, so as to show mountains
and valleys, plateaus and low
lands, in their actual relation to
the earth's magnitude.
Even on this large scale the
Himalayas would be only about
three and a half inches high, Mont
Blanc about two inches, the
Grampians half an inch, while
the Palisades of the Hudson, at
their highest points, would be
about one. sixteenth of an inch
above the level of the river.

TIE Annual session Came TO an End
Yesterday.

The deliberations of the Con
gregationsl clergy composing
the Hawaiian Evangelical AS
sociation for the session of 1896
came to an end yesterday and
most of the members are already
on their way home. Among the
proceedings of the latter part OF
the session was the suspension of
Rev. M. Luteon, who is evidently
a prophet without honor in his
own country; the passage of a
resolution asking the Attorney
General to devise ways and means
for the legal divorce Of those af-
aicted with leprosy; the passage
OF similar request to President
Dole asking him to put an end to
Sunday target shooting, and reso-
lutions of regret that Minister
Cooper should have allowed Sun
day band concerts.
A number of important matters
such as the titles to church lands,
support of impoverished churches,
kahunaism, etc, we're referred to
the Hawaiian Board, with power
TO act.

gave his name as George Clark pre-
sented a letter to President Wyckoff,
written on letter head of the Hotel
Marlborough. 1t contained demand
with death unless he furnished the
money. The letter also stated that the
bearer had partner outside the bank
who had Mr.. Wyckoff covered" and
that If he made any alarm and refused
to give the money stick of dynamite

would blow up the building.
President Wyckoff. after reading the
letter refused Clark the money and the

lieve that Clark is insane.
The following is copy Of the letter
which Clark handed President Wyckoff
when he entered the bank:

bills and ten thousand dollar bills. I
will shoot you IL you make a false move, so
be careful My partner outside also has
you covered. and II you alarm within
