wailuku and Hilo-Remain for
About Two Weeks.

There has been more or less agi-
tation for several months in regard
to the Hawaiian Band visiting the
other islands on a concert tour.
While Minister King was on Maui
recently several influential citizens
spoke to him about such a visit.
The Minister was favorably in
clined toward the proposed trip,
and promised to have the attention
of the Government called to it.
During Minister Cooper's trip to
Hawaii he was approached on the
same subject, and, as a result, it is
reported the band will probably
leave by the next Kinau for Wal
luku, Maui, and Hilo, spending
two weeks on the tour.
Two or three years ago the band
made similar trip, and the people
on other islands were particularly
pleased.

The full intensity of living is reached
only by the perfectly healthy. Sick
hess discounts the capacity for enjoy
ment. If his body is all out of order
and rundown, he Will not be able to
enjoy anything, no matter how full of
enjoyment it may he for other people.
II he is just little bit out of order,
if he sis not sick, but doesn't feel just
right" he Will only be able TO enjoy
things in a half-hearted sort of way.
The nearer he is to being perfectly
well, the nearer will his capacity for
enjoyment be perfect. If this condi-
ton doesn't exist. something ought to
be done. That means nine cases in

and Prof. Ramsay's are respectively
10 $40 and 1894, and, as the argon
was prepared by two very different
methods, it is hardly possible that an
identical mixture of two or more gases
could have been produced in the two
cases. This also disposes OF the idea
that argOn is an allotropic form of nj
trogen, as in that case the weight
would be 81. While argon forms a
considerable part of the atmosphere,
and argon and helium have been found
together IN the gas from certain
springs, helium has not been found in
appreciable amount in the air, and
cannot exist, Lord Rayleigh Believes,
in proportion of even l part in TO-

A large electrical company of Berlin
has set an example in the use of waste
coal that England and the United
States may follow with profit. Near
Bitterfield, in the Elbe district, are
immense surface deposits of bitumi-
nous coal, which is too poor in quality
to pay for transportation, yet on the
spot is the cheapest fuel in Germany.
A year ago an electro-chemical factory
was established at this place. The
chief manufactures are chlorine and
caustic potash, attention being also
given TO calcium carbide, sodium and
other products of the electric furnace,
and the cheap fuel has proven SO ad-
vanta9eous that the plant is being
enlarged from a capacity of 1000 to
5000.
