fishing an industry in our owr
country. Before this guano, oil
fertilizer, company was established
much of our fertilizers came from
abroad. Now that we manufacture
fertilizers ourselves we are enabled
to save large sum of money, which
is spent in the country instead Of
spending the cash abroad. The
company has an output now Of
1000 tons, and it is in contempla-
ton to extend this by 5000 tons
during the coming year. This will
make an output of $4,000 tons.
Even this supply does not equal the
demand, and large orders are still
being sent abroad. The fertilizer
is worth $50 to $40 a ton we are
informed that the larger portion is
sold at $40 per ton, so, striking an
average price of $95 per ton, we can
see how much money was retained
here by the institution of the Pacific
Guano Works.
Seven thousand tons yielded
$245,OOO; fifteen thousand tons will
yield over half a million of dollars.
This money goes to our various
trades and industries. Again, by
having the fertilizer works we use
up our own raw material. The sui
phuric acid used is made here, the
phosphates come from Laysan isl
and, member of our own group.
The Hawaiian Fertilizer Com
pany is also doing good work in
the same line and producing a most
valuable output.
If this industry succeeds why
should not others? Why should
we keep on importing our hay, for
instance? Why should such guam
titles of vegetables come from
abroad? Having too many eggs in
one basket is what we are suffering
from. With varied industries those
now devoted to sugar would cease
to be SO great power in the State
Varied industry will mean greater
individual independence.

half millions of pounds sterling
have been paid in as premiums
and over one million and half
have been returned to policy holders
or their representatives. A special
feature of this insurance is the
system of non-forfeiture. When a
policy holder becomes unable to
pay his premiums, an account is
opened in connection with his
overdue policy, which is kept
alive" as long as the surrender
value is enough to pay a quarters
premium. Q The holder is debited
with interest on premiums over
due, but he is kept insured as long
as his credit lasts. From the New
Zealand Year book we gather that
during last year twenty-nine over
due policies fell in by the death OF
the holders. Not cent ofpremium
had been paid on several since 1886,
and others within more recent
years, vet the department paid on
these overdue policies about
$4,000.

1t is worthy OF attention to note
how our Portuguese fellow citizens
are beginning to understand the
advantages of education. A few
years ago it was the hardest thing
in the world to get them to attend
school, now the difficulty has been
almost overcome. As the young
people passed out of school and be-
gan to obtain better positions than
their parents, it dawned upon them
that education had some tangible
advantages. Besides sending their
children to school, their young men,
who failed to avail themselves OF
their opportunities in the past, are
now crowding into the Night
School. This is decidedly encourag-
ing. The Portuguese are very
important and are bound to be a
very influential body in the state.

OUTBREAK OF VOLCANO.

The volcano has again broken
out. After quiescence of a little
over a year the worlds great woh-
der has started once more. On
Friday, January Sd, the lake began
to rise, and before the kinau left
the island was said to have risen
500 feet. The volcano fell in De-
cember 10, 1894, in the morning.
Since then the sides have been
constantly falling in. There has
been smoke and, on December 9th,
a little fire appeared deep down in
the pit. This soon died out. There
can be little doubt that the shocks
of earthquake felt here were pre-
monitory symptoms of the coming
lava. 1t now appears as if the fire
had come to stay. Such wonder
full increase will not be evanesant.
Tourists will once more be able to
enjoy the most wonderful sight in
the world.

Miss KATE FIELDS letter to tn,
Times Herald, which we publish
today, shows the kind of work thar
journalist intends to do here. She
is getting her facts together ano
gets them first hand in the shape
of interviews. In choosing Mr..
Morrison of Makaweli plantation,
Kauai, as the subject for an inter
view. she obtained information
from a man who thoroughly under
stands the sugar industry of this
country, not only on Kauai, but
on the islands of Hawaii and Maui
as well. In no better way can a
fair statement of the condition of
the islands be obtained than this.
To obtain the views of the most
prominent men and women of the
islands and put them as their views,
and not as her own, before the
American public appears as fair
way of publishing the truth, and of
giving her readers an accurate idea
of the condition of affairs here, as
Miss Field could have hit upon.
Later she can generalize, and un-
doubtedly will generalize, from the
facts collected. but her readers will
have in mind the facts upon which
her cancellations have been based
and will be able to Judge of the
accuracy of her deductions. Miss
Fields letters viii be widely read
and copied and will have a very
excellent effect upon the future OF
the islands.

THE cost of war nowadays is
tremendous. Should Germany mo-
Billie her 2,365,0O0 men, the cost
of them would be about 81 100000
per day. The French army OF
100000 would cost nearly 81, 900,
600 per day. The average cost per
soldier during war time being IS
cents in the German army and 80
cents in the French army. Even
the shortest of wars must last 100
days, so upon that basis it is easy
to calculate the cost of even short
struggle Few nations could endure
a long struggle. Indeed it is this
enormous expense which keeps the
peace of the world. Nations may
be jealous, and snarl and snap and
threaten, but the actual breaking
out of war is too costly an expert
ment to be rashly tried.

FINS, HENRIETTA.

The Henrietta case, as far as the
vessel is concerned has come to an
end. The case has been carefully
tried and Judge Whiting in his
decision, which is worth any read
ers' while to read, gives the
evidence a most thorough sitting.
A strong point is that the vessel
cleared for La Paz, in Mexico, and
that in different handwriting on
the shipping articles were the words
cor such port as the master may
see fit" The official log book had
no entries, except the name of the
master, another log book has no
entries. The manifest showed the
drugs" and these "drugs" had
been repacked on the voyage. A
translation of Chinese letter found
on board gave the parties away
very badly.
The people on the vessel could
not show anything that could
prove them honest traders. 1t was
as clear a case of smuggling as ever
came before our or any other courts.
The vessel is condemned and the
opium, vessel, and all belongings
are now the property of the Hawai-
ian Government. After this very
smart payment there will not like
ly be so much energy in smuggling
efforts for some time to come.

THE art of illustrating periodical:
and books has advanced to well
nigh perfection in the United States
Germany, in some of its cheap pub
locations for the family, comes
nearest the United States, but We
do not think equals it. Harper's,
the Century, and Scribner's stand
ahead OF all magazine literature,
but some OF the cheap magazines,
such as McClure's. run them close.
In all these the delicacy of illustra-
tons is very marked. In the mat
ter of illustration, to compare the
New York Life with the London
Punch seems almost too bad. Yet
the artists OF Punch are as able and
well trained as their American
brothers in art. 1t is in reproduc-
ton that the failure. comes. The

The question now is: Will the

STEADY GRIND--"I have
learned from observation"
says Chauncey Depew, "that
three things surely happen
to a man who works with
out relaxation. In the first
place he becomes nervous,
irritable and hard to get
along with. In the second
place the grade of his work
falls off, and he is liable to
err in his judgment. In the
third place he dies sud-
denly" These remarks of
the famous after dinner
speaker we consider not
only decided applicable in
the sense in which they are
intended, but in the way of
a great many of the manu-
facturerS that are constantly
placing inferior goods on the
market and claiming them as
superior to the product of
older and better known
houses. This is especially
true of cutlery. There are
houses who place this class
of goods on the market that
are made up for show and
sale only, but whose wear
is warranted only until they
have been once secured.
This is not the case with the
goods of well known and
established houses whose
reputation depends upon the
wear of goods.
They pride themselves on
what they make being made
of the best material that
and experience can
turn out. The John Russell

SWEPT BY THE SEA.
A TERRIFIC WIND STORM AGl-
TATEs THE ATLANTIC.
PLEASURE PLACES RUINED
Hotels and Payilions or Coney Island
Beach Are Destroyed by the High
est Tide Ever Known-Boston
Loses Many Yachts Atlantic City's
Brigatine Wharf Washed Away.

New York, Oct. ia terrible storm
has ragged for the past twenty-four
hours along the Atlantic coast from
New Jersey north.
Coney island suffered the highest
tide in the history of the famous re-
sort yesterday. A large number OF
temporary structures along the front
were destroyed. The boulevard was
flooded as far as Neptune avenue. The
shelter houses at the intersection OF
the concourse and boulevard We're
washed away. Waves running noun
tain high battered the plaza in front
Of the Brighton Beach hotel and tore
away part of the concert pavilion in
which Anton Seidl's orchestra gives rs
performances. The Ocean hotel, west
of the Brigton Beach hotel was sur
rounded by water and its foundations
were racked. Numerous bathing paw
lions and amusement houses were
either wrecked or damaged, among the
latter being the club house Of the Sea-
side Athletic club. The old iron pier
that was believed to be inyincible and
tu~ had been buffeted by the storms
of over twenty winters was cut in two.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
storm was working havoc, wrecking
everything it could reach on the beach.
Manhattan beach shared the disaster
with other sections OF the island, Much
OF the beach was swept by the waves
and many of the ornaments on the
grounds of the Manhattan Beach hotel
were swept away and the magnificent
lawn In front OF the swell Oriental ho-
tel was made dismal waste.
At 2:30 p. m. a monster wave struck
the concert pavilion at Brighton Beach
and tore away two-thirds Of the stree
ture. The Brighton Beach race track
stables were flooded and the
horses were moved. A rough
estimate of the financial loss
along the Coney beach places 1t at
100000.
Boston, Oct. 10. Fifteen yachts
broke from their moorings off South
Boston and are high and dry on the

NAPoLEoN's WILL.

His will displays his qualities In
their entirety. The language sounds
simple and sincere; there is hidden
meaning in almost every line. His
religion had been, at best, chat of a
deist; at the last he professed a piety
which he never felt or practiced. Dur
ing his life France had been loved and
used as skilful artifcer uses his tool;
the last words of his testament suggest
a passionate devotion. To his son he
recommended the "love OF right, which
alone can incite to the performance OF
great deeds" for his faithless wife he
expressed the tenderest sentiments,
and probably felt them. 1t was his
hope that the English people would
avenge itself on the English oligarchy,
and that France would forgive the
traitors who betrayed Marmont,
Augereau, Talleyrand, and Lafayette
as he forgave them. Louis he pardon
ed in the same spirit for the libel
published In 1920; 1t is full OF false
hoods and faIsified documents" The
blame for Enghien's murder he took
to himself. The second portion Of the
document is a series OF munificent
sounding requests, disposing 81 his
suppositious private fortune, esti-
mated by him at 25O,OOO,00o francs, to
a list of legatees, which includes every
one who had done the legator any I'M
portant service since his earliest child
hood. In codicil he remembers one
Cautillon. who had undergone trial
for an alleged attempt to assassinate
Wellington. "CautilIon had as much
right to assassinate that oligarch as
he wellington to send me to the
rock of st. Helena TO perish there"
