The Ground Breathes.

French cXpcrimcnters have lately
brought out interesting facts about the
circulation of air in the soil. 1t appears
that considerable oxygen is absorbed by
the roots of plants, and the supply of
this oxygen is maintained by air pene~
trating through the minute interstices of
the SOIL When the ground is covered
with water, or when the molecules or
grains. of soil are dissolved in water and
packed into an impermeable mass, then
air cannot circulate below the surface
and vegetation suffers. The experiments
referred TO show that lime or salt in
prevent their being dissolved and packed
by the action of water. hence the i'm
portance of lime in keeping the ground
open and permea BILE for the circula tion
of both air and rain water.

Protecting Trees.

With the approach of winter there is
always a great deal of anxiety displayed
by young orchardists in regard to pro
tccting their trees from the ravages of
rabbits and mice. The older fruit grower
does not worry so much as his younger
colleagues do, for he has found out what
a great many others do not know-that
anything of greasy nature will keep
away rabbits, and to great extent mice
as we'll The rabbit is very particular
about it's food. and anything greasy is
generally offensive to il. Probably more
orchardists use axle grease than anything
else. Occasionally complaint is heard
that this material hurts the trees Oh

used it successfully that it may be taken
for granted that where the injury oc-

record is that which was tried in the
Newcastle EnglanD courts about forty
years ago, and by which a shepherd re-
covered the value of flock of TOO sheep.
1t seems that after being clipped the
animals were rubbed with a chemical So
luton bought at Berwick. Shortly after
they had been turned out to grass the
neighborhood was visited by very
heavy rain, which washed the solution
from the f1eeces of the sheep. The poison
was washed into the grass, which the
sheep ate of and then died. \ consider

The Death OF KRIana from Aiexand-

er's Conquest of oahu.
Those who have hocked to the
Pacific Hardware Company's arr
gallery within the past few days
could not fail to have their atten-
ton attracted to a large painting
crowded with Hawaiian figures in
ancient apparel and engaged in
fierce battle. 1t is canvas of say
seven by five feet, and its subject,
taken from the conquest of
Oahu" in Alexander's History of
Hawaii, is "The Death of Kaiana,
the High Chief, at Nuuanu, 1895. Z"
The artist is Mr.. LIE Breten, who
has come to the island in the in
terest of an illustrated weekly.
Below is a synopsis of the paint
ing:
In the middle foreground stands
Kamehameha, in yellow feather
helmet and cloak, and the four
Kona chiefs, in similar articles of
scarlet. Kaiana, lying on the
grass in the last throes of death,
is supported by his wife, who has
followed him in battle, while Ka.
ahumanu defends Kaiana against
Kamehameha's charges of deser-
ton and treachery. Several dead
warriors lying about belong to
Kalanikapule's forces. The
wounded white man is one of the
sixteen foreigners in Kameha.
meha's service. John Young,
red-shirted, with cutlass in hand,
stands in the middle of an attack
ing band, urging his comrades to
renewed action and victory, while
a cannon in front is belching
forth death and destruction to the
defenders of Oahu's independence.
Kamehameha's troops are cross
ing mountain stream to capture
the Oahu king and chiefs, as they
stand trying to rally their fleeing
forces.
The drawing of the figures and
mountain scenery is excellent, but
the execution of the finer details
is a trifie coarse, being rather
oriental in impression. 1t is
picture, however, that tells its
famous story we'll.

CHANGING CONDITIONS.

There is a possibility, even a
probability, that before a great
many years restrictive laws will
not be so much needed in other
countries to stem the tide Of emf
grafton from China and Japan.
The Chinese and japanese will be
offered in an increasing degree
employment at home which will
make their labor less and less
cheap abroad than is now the case.
Already with the renewed eXpan-
sion, since the war, of Japan S
manufacturing industries a rise in
wages is chronicled, and the ten
dency of the prodigious develop
ment in that line, which is excit-
ing the attention of the whole COM
mercial world, will be more and
more to draw the surplus of popu-
lation from the agricultural dis
tricts to the manufacturing towns.
1t should not be surprising, in the
near future, to see japan putting
a stop entirely to labor emigra-
ton. China bids fair soon to
present similar changing con-
ditions to those of japan.
Awakened from the lethargy
of ages by the war,
her rulers find that the country is
really out of the modern world.
They are wise enough to see that
to bring the empires position into
a parity with that of other nations,
for either peace or war, its diff
ferent parts must be united by
railways. Therefore they are
vigorously casting about in
western lands for the requisite
capital and skill to provide this
essential desideratum. 1t is not
likely when once begun that the
building of railways in China will
be upon a small scale either.
Great distances have to be trav-
ersed even to join the principal
cities in bonds of steel. Accord
ingly, railway construction in
China will make an immense
draft on the surplus labor of the
country. AT the same time there
is at present reported a rapid
expansion of manufacturing in
dustry in China. Foreign capital
lists including japanese are start
ing cotton factories at different
places. Labor is bound to be-
come higher priced in China, and
with its advance in value will
come improvement in the condi-
tons of living. There might be
stranger things happen within
few years than hegira of Chin
ese from the Pacific Coast and the
Hawaiian Islands for their native
"Aowery kingdom" At all events,
it will not be long before both
Chinese and japanese labor will

come much higher to Hawaiian
planters than it does today. And
the time is speeding on, doubtless,
when western marts will be flush
ed more with the products of
cheap Oriental labor than with
the raw personal article.

A black lamp that will give

they furnish with any decora-
