closed with December last, refers
to the proposed extension Of the
railroad to Waialua and Kahuku
Mill. This work has already been
commenced, and is being pushed
with energy, to be completed dur
ing 1898.
The company has now five loco
motives, fourteen passenger cars,
1872 freight cars, and fourteen
hand and push cars. In the
freight department., the statistics
show that nearly sixteen thou
sand tons of sugar were carried
over the road, and about the
same amount of fertilizers mate

tons of lumber, nearly 5000 tons
of building stone, $500 tons of
rice, etc, the whole amounting for
1896 to 66,430 tons. The present
year will show very large in
crease, owing to the work con
nected with the new Oahu plan
tation. Taken altogether, the
prospects of the Oahu Railway
Company never looked brighter
than now, with fair prospect of
the road being completed to Ka

The recently organized Hawai-
ian Geographical Society has q
rich field for observation and re
search. Old ideas and theories OF
the formation of the earth's sur
face are constantly being explod-
ed or revised, chiefly from the dis
cOvery of additional data. Much
of this discovery has been acci-
dental. 1t is hoped that the mem
bers will continue their investiga-
tions beyond the mere collecting
of peculiar or interesting speci-
mems. 1t is certainly not the in
tentiOn of the promoters of the
Society to allow the study to be-
come only superficial.
An organized and persistent
search for new material cannot
fail to produce results which will
have a destinct bearing on the
local conditions already known.
Such a search will not only aid
Science, but will arouse an inter
est in the physical features of the
Islands. The Society will not
confine it's word to the study of
these features alone. MeteOrOlO-
gical observations will also be
taken by each member, and elm
attic changes noted.
The conditions of membership
are such that almost any one may
join. The collecting of speci-
mems is eXacted of each member.
and this will serve to keep out the
dilettanti. Such societies else
where have rendered valuable
assistance to Government bu-
reaus, and have enabled indiyidu-
ais to acquire great deal of use

The sixth annual report of this
our principal railway company,
which commenced operations
about 1890, has been issued in q
pamphlet of 43 pp., exhibiting the
cOmpany's operations during the
year 1896, showing what the re

that the most inquisitiye share
holder or bondhoIder could ask

Showing a net surplus for the
year 1896 of $S9, 9,16274. The sur
plus for the year 1895 was $50,
724, very handsome gain for the
past year. The prospect for the
present year promises to be quite
as favorable, as the traffic is con
stantly increasing, both from old
and new sources of income, as
settlers and new branches of in
dustry locate on the route. Re
garding this the report says:
Among the new industries started
along the line of your road are the
Hawaiian Fruit and Packing Co., and
Sandwich Island Honey Company.
The Canning Co.. as our freight
statistics will show, shipped fifty-fve
tons of canned fruit in 1896. The
Honey Co.," who control miles of
algeroba forest, from which we are
told bees gather a superior quality of
honey, are placing bee hives by the
thousand, and may be expected to re-
port with return freight later. Two
thousand tons of pineapples. and other
green fruits were carried to market
by rail last year. The growing demand
= for firewood, sand and lime rock has
added considerable to the total freight
tonnage. The successful inauguration
of the Oahu Sugar Company brings
the assurance of a large and perma-
nent business, with gratifying in
crease to the earnings of the Railway
and Land Departments.

1t is always extremely difficult to
judge from the rehearsals what the
fate of the play will be. The effect of

that then remains for him in life is

As to the probable age of the manu-
script, it cannot be less than 400 years.
At the time of the Spanish conquest, in
1900, the Aztec civilization in Mexico
was stamped out their records were de-
stroyed by the fanatical priests and no
vestige of their nationality allowed TO
remain. All the literature, as far as
known. except the few fragments of
which mention has been made. were
sacrificed. No writing was done by the
Aztees after they were crushed by the
Spanish conquerors. How much the
manuscript in question may have ante
dated this event is a matter of con-
lecture.
Another question that may be asked
is as to how the manuscript came to be
found as far north as iowa, when the
scene of the old Aztec civilization was
no nearer to the spot than the present
boundary line of Mexico This might be
accounted for in two ways. 1t was
either carried by an expedition of Aztecs
into the present territory of Southern
Iowa, or was captured and borne away
by Indian tribes during their wars with
this semi civilized nation. In whatever
manner it came TO the location in which
it lay buried for centuries, il must have
been carried a distance of not less than
1000 miles. The Indians employed pic
ture writing in recording their deeds.
using for the purpose buffalo skins,
bark and other substances. The Aztec
manuscript is not to be confused, how
ever. with this class of relics. as it be-
longs TO a higher civilization, and in the
discerning eye of the archaeological
scholar has nothing in common with In
dian records.
The find is in every way a unique one,
adding, as has already been stated. a
fifth Aztec manuscript to the possess
sions of the world. The others are all
larger than this one, although Professor
Moorehead regards il as q very fine
specimen The characters are the same
as the manuscripts in possession Of the
famous Trocadero Museum at Paris the
Vatican Museum AT Rome and the Ber-
lin Museum. This new piece of Aztec
writing is placed under an air-tight
glass and inclosed in a frame In this
manner it will be sent TO the Smithson-
ian institution and after it's return viii

scum of the State University at Orton

pretty fair article which will appeal TO
them, and even then their attitude
toward it will be critical to the point
of hostility.
The next stage, to follow out the
usual proceedings of the most success
full authors, is the reading of the play
to the company. This is, beyond
question, a trying piece of work for
the playwright. Every member of the
company, from the star down to the
actor whose part consists of two or
three lines, is present on the appointed
morning. The meeting place is the
stage of the theater in which the play
is to be produced At that hour of the
day it is usually dark and cold, and one
cannot help thinking that the general
cheerlessness might suit a tragedy, but
is likely to be hard on the modern COM
edy Of society.
In the center of the stage is a table,
beside which stands the directors
chair The sacred attributes of this
piece of furniture have been thor
oughly demonstrated in a recent suit
in court. The author is permitted to
seat himself therein, and the entire
company ranges itself around him in a
circle Actors do not regard morning
work with favor, and an observer
