Lmnnr Rainbow.

A BULLETIN man was fortunate
enough to be an eyewitness of a
rare and transcendently beautiful
picture the other evening. With a
friend he was standing upon the
King street bridge, looking up
Nuuanu Valley. There was quite
a heavy storm brewing up in the
mountains and over the pail, the
dark and heavy rain clouds piling
up in inky masses which shadow
ed in gloom the upper portion of
the valley. Lower down the plain
and lesser slopes were bathed in
moonlight. All at once rainbow
shot across the foreground, one
end resting just over Punchbowl
and the other tipping the treetops
toward Kalihi. 1t was perfectly
formed and resembled a silvery
strand of midst, casting splendid
radiance over the whole scene
and against the dark, rolling mass
on the mountain tops. 1t lasted
for fully half an hour and at
tracted the attention Of all pass
ers-by.

FRENCH MOTHERHOOD.
n. BSrtillon Advocates a Race of French
men for Madagascar.

N. B0rtillon Advocates q Race of French
men for Madagascar.
One of the things which is most close
ly studied in France by the savants and
statisticians in the government employ
and out is the steadily diminishing
birth rate. A recent writer OH the sub
jcct,M jacques Bertillon, who has been
making some exhaustive researches,
says that the reason why there are so
many foreigners in Paris holding lucra-
tive positions and doing all sorts of
skilled manual labor is that the demand
is greater than the nation of itself can
supply.
In pamphlet which NJ. Bertillon has
written on the subject he dwells on the
necessity of colonizing and developing
the rich natural resources of Madagas-
car. He closes his monograph with
these words:
1T is the French woman who holds
in her hands the developments of that
beautiful and immeasurably rich
island. The women of France have few
children. and they cannot endure the
thought of having them depart for a
Tar distant land, though they viii! serve
their mother country we'll by doing so
In the interest of France and of NADIA
gascar the mothers of France should
bear six children instead of two, and
SO fulfill the purpose for which they
were created"

TOO FAT TO SINK.
A woman Who Found One Method Of
Suicide ImprHcticablo.


AT AIMS Mills, little hamlet near
MELVILLE, Pa, lives Alexander Geese, q
well-known farmer and respected citi-
zen. His wife, Sarah Jane Geese, has
u reputation as being one of the
heaviest women, if not the heaviest, in
the county. Of recent years, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, her
weight has been steadily. increasing,
until now she weighs over 300 pounds.
She and her husband have IL children
and their domestic life has been happy,
but her see has evidently preyed upon
her mind, making her Respondent. One
morning recently she left her home and
proceeded to the banks of the Como
doguinet creek, a stream about 100 feet
in width, which runs near her home.
She took her position on Gallows bridge
and jumped into the deep stream,
swollen and muddy from the recent
rains, proposing to end her troubles.
She had neglected to consider q sub
ject which has an important bearing on
Il project such as hers-that of specific
gravity. She was too fat, and despite
her most desperate efforts her BODY
would not sink, and although she tried
to hold her head under long enough to
drown herself, she did not succeed. Her
heavy body turned over and over, and
finally righting itself, floated peaceful
ly down the stream, with the head on
top. BY this time the woman was near
~ frozen and made no further efforts
to end her life. For three hours her
body ftonted calmly on the stream, un.
observed, gradually floating downward
with the current. She was finally dis
covered and rescued.

Words in Books.

The total number of distinct words in
the New Testament, excluding proper
names and their derivatives, is 1920.
The vocabulary of the Old Testament is
much larger. According to Gesmin's

$50 distinct words, not counting
proper names and obsolete roots. A
1cw comparisons with the above may
not prove uninterestipg: The "Iliad''
and the"Odyssey"tog contain o,o11
distinct words; Milton used 1923 differ

SILVER THE ISSUE.

Day by day it becomes clearer that
the great issue of 1896 will be whether
the American people shall return to
the honest money Of the constitution,
by the complete restoration, OF silver
or permit themselves to he dragged
to their death and destruction at the
wheels of England's golden chariot.
That is the issue and there Ii no
blinking ut it. The senseless drivel
about $50 cent dollars" and @honest
money" presents an issue that is alb.
solutely false, and if the people will
study the question little they will
sec it.
There is no question of "fifty
cent dollar" involved. 1t is .one
hundred cent dollar or atwo humid
red cent dollar" which the gold dol.
lar actually is.
In Tie Republican convention at
st. Louis there will be a tremendous
struggle over the money plank. The
extreme silver men will have nothing
less than free coinage ut 16 to l flat
Unless they get it, there will doubt
less be several spokes knocked out
of the Republican wheel then and
there.
Two thirds OF the Democratic party
are for free coinage. If the admins
tration and the money power together
do not capture the convention it will
certainly be grand triumph for the
people.
If the sentiments Of the rank and
file of the party do not find expires
sion both in the platform and the
candidates., there will not only be
some spokes knocked out of the Dem
ocratic wheel, but the hub will go
too. That is, these things will take
place if silver Democrats are true
to their principles, as we believe they
are.
Then the Populist party is looming
up as an mquestioned power in
american politics. In the creed of
Tins organization there is much that
is good, and it has in it's ranks some
very able and admirable men.
The more conservative of it's ole.
ments understand that they cannot
expect to win in the near future on
all of their issues. In order to win
at all, they must plant themselves On
middle ground, where the dissatisfied
elements of other parties can meet
them Should they conclude to make
bimetallism their paramount issue,
it may lead to combinations that will
revolutionize the country.
The campaign of 1896 bids fair to
be the most momentous and excit
ing of any since the clost of the war,
md the "ghost" of free silver, of which
we have heard so much, will be the
grand central figure of the play.-Na-
tional Bimetallism.
