WATER NOT THE P(JREST
SURPLUS OF VEGETABLE MATTER
NOTED IN ANALYSIS.
Also Too Much Ammonia-Opinions of
an EXpert-What Filtration Would
Do-lContagion in an Epidemic.

The expert opinion on the condition
of Nuuanu Valley water which will go
to the firm of filter contractors in the
east by the Mariposa tomorrow was
prepared by Professor j. T. Crawley of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Associa-
ton. A part of the opinion is as fol-
lows:
"No. 1. from Luakaha) is of a
bright, sparkling appearance, but
slightly opalescent due to very fine,
light, flocculent particles of organic
matter in suspensions; also to fine
fibrous bodies of an organic origin.
No. 2 (from reservoir No. % is of a
muddy, quite opalescent appearance,
due to suspended organic and mineral
matters. 1t settles clear within six
hours. The dark brown sediment re-
sultng is a compound of iron, hydroX-
ide and carbonate, fine sand, amor
phous organic matter, pieces of decay
ing bark, twigs, etc. The latter saIn-
isms, which under low power micro
scope showed three or more distinct
species which are often found in
fresh or stagnant water containing
decaying organic matter and mud.
"As regards the mineral analysis,
including chlorine, the water could
scarcely be purer. AS to organic mat
ter the content, especially from reser-
voir No. 2, is high. This organic mat
ter come from decaying vegetation
and high content is to be expected in
tropical waters owing to the rapid de
composition of all forms of vegetab' e
life. l do not consider the character
and amount of organic matter to be
necessarily injurious of itself, but it
would be ready means of breeding
contagion during an epidemic. The
content of ammonia in these samples
| is approximately the same as in those
from the Nuuanu stream, tested dur
ing the cholera epidemic, at which
time the chemical report advised an
absolute taboo on that water for any
domestic purposes. At present this
water, cleared of mud. suspended or
ganic and mineral matter, and animal
life, would probably have its content
of ammonia so reduced as to be COM
paratively pure and safe water"

BALLOONS TO SAVE LIFE.

Air Ships Harnesscd to Lifeboats the
Latest Invention from Connecticut.
The balloon has become a marine
life-saving appliance. The big ocean
greyhoUnds will soon, it is thought, be
equipped with ife-saving boats har-
messed to balloons SO as to be practical
ly unsuitable. This novel device has
been patented by shrewd Connecticut
Yankee.
While the combination boat will
doubtless prove OF the greatest service
in saving people far out at sea, it will
not be available at life-saving stations.
The wind is usually blowing shore
ward when vessels are in danger, and
for this reason it would be almost i'm
possible to force the boat, hampered by
the balloon, to the assistance of craft.
In a recent test made in the ConEec
ticut river, near Midldetown, it was
shown that, even with the boat filed
with water to the gunwales, the lifting
power of the balloon prevented the
craft from sinking or upsetting.
The boat was constructed under Mr..
Riley's direction, and is 16 feet in
length. Cylinders filled with COM
pressed gas were placed in compart-
ments, and from these the balloon,
which was harnessed with cords 10
hollow mast connected with the cyiin-
ders, was inflated. The mast, which is
of gaspipe, is adjustable and, when
turned forward, the big balloon acted
as a sail, oars proving quite unneces
sary.
The most interesting and convincing
portion of the exhibition was when the
passengers and crew were landed and
the boat filed with water. Even with
the extra submersion the boat fioated
along with scarcely a perceptible de-
crease in speed.
BY the simple process of reversing
the pumps, the inventor showed how he
could pump gas from the balloon back
into the cylinders. Some of the gas
was then burned as a beacon light,
which could be seen for many miles
around. With this and a reflector sig
nal flashes can be made, which would be
certain to attract the attention of pass
ing vessels.
Another claim of the inventor is that
it can, by being launched from a sink
ing vessel, secure aid from shore be-
fore a Gfe-saving crew, even though
ready, could shoot n line aboard. Of
ten owing to strong wind directly off
shore. the life-sayers are unable TO place
a life line so that it can be of assistance.
This difficulty is met by Mr.. Riley,
who has supplied his boat with line
The boat, he claims, when supported by
the balloon, could. even without a crew,
be headed for the shore. and, owing &c
its remarkable buoyancy. would have
little difficulty in riding breakers and
getting within reach of the ife-savers

after Maceo had broken camp
Gen. Munez, of the Spanish army,

Munez attacked the hill where he
thought Maceo was, and only found a

DEADLY OCCUPATION.
firing Out Borax from the Riffs In death.
Valley.


Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men OF
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death valley of the Great American
desert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often registers
40 degrees of heat, unreieved by even
a breath of air; where men sleep at
night il hollow bitches filled with
water in order to avoid dying from col
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses ever har-
messed to draw the great borax-laden
wagons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
of domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to 60 horses are often
hitched TO one of the numbering We
hicles in which the borax is slowly
dragged across the sun-baked alkali
plains The average life of even the
sturdiest horses used in this work is
six months, for in this length of time
they either become broken-winded,
consumptive from inhaling the deadly
dust of the desert or are driven crazy
by the frightful heat.
a man there, though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays. cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes depleted, the men ride on at top
speed for the nearest source of supply,
ard often when they return they lind
that the remaining horses, made mad
BIZ thirst, have broken from the harness
and dashed off only to find death in the
iesert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000 pounds
and carry 10000 pounds at load. Be
hind each wagon is a tank containing
hundreds of gallons of water. The
horses are harnessed in pairs, the
trained ones in the lead, and the next

while the unruIy and the youngsters
are hitched between. The nigh leader
has bride with the strap from the left
law shorter than the other. and from
the bride runs braided rope which
the driver, perched on the wagon seat,
holds in his right hand.
The rope is called the ''jerk-hne, and
is a little longer than the team, which
stretches out several hundred feet III
front of the wagon. During the busy
season the borax wagons make an al
most continuous train. and the horses
alone, if placed in single file, would
make team more than 100 miles long
Besides little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling III the burning

THE WOOL MARKET
According to the American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter.

According to the American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter.
BosToS, Oct. 30. = The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool trade:
While the movement of wool in Bos-
ton the past week has been smaller
than in the previous one, sales in both
New York and Philadelphia have shown
q substantial gain, bringing the aggre.
gate sales for the three markets over
100000 pounds in excess of the
previous week, the principal increase
being foreign wool. The story of Dos
ton is one of frmness on the part o
holders and uneasiness on the part of
buyers, who find the outlook for or
ders is not as clear as could be wished,
and they naturally hesitate to
buy heavily of the raw ma
terial. Manufacturers, while de-
ferring their purchases until
after the election, are watching
the market very closely. In New York
and Philadelphia an active market is
reported. Territory woods continue to
sell well. The scarcity of certain lines
of stock continues. Sales in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia for the
week aggregate 7.554,7O0 pounds, s.
O6s, 200 being domestic and 2,49i, 500
foreign. Sales in the different mar.
kets the past week were as follows:
Boston. 3,162, 900 pounds domestic
and $780, 900 foreign, making a total of
4, 452. 900 pounds; New York, 554, SOC

be correspondingly less. If. therefore
a mar weighed 40 pounds on this earth
he syoUId weigh but fraction over 2C
pounds according to the scales used or
