guage is an 8-inch placed on the

cording cloudiness and wind. For
ascertaining the force of the wind,
the Beaufort scale is used, capable
of measuring the wind from a light

meter records kept on Kauai, and
Hawaii show close correspond
ence with the local record in this
city.
data of much value in regard
to the direction and force of the
wind, details of storms, and of
other natural phenomena such as
earthquakes, have been included in
the reports of many of the observ-
ers, which, if not Immediately
published, are carefully filed and
remain as data for future generah-
zations.
"From the rainfall records of
the years 1894 and 1895, table
has been compiled showing the
dates in the different districts of
the principal rain storms. The OBJ
served direction of the wind at Ho-
nolulu, Oahu, and at Waimea, Ha-
waii, for each date is given also,
and the dates of high and low baro-
meter are indicated. From a study
of this table one may ascertain how
far the recurrence OF rain storms
is at regular intervals, and whether
or not these bear any relation to
the phases of the moon, or to other
astronomical confgurations."
The average mean temperature
for Honolulu for the years 1894
and 5, the observations being taken
at a. m. and 8 p. m., was 73.47,
while the normal temperature was
1898. The average daily range
of the thermometer for the two
years was 11.2. The rainfall for
1894 was 1924 inch, and for
1895, 1914 inch. Temperature
for the year, lowest So deg, high
est sc deg.-average 68.7 deg. The
rainfall for each station in the
group is given for each month in
the year, as we'll as the annual total.
To those who are curious in regard
to meteorological observations in
this group, the records given in the
report of the weather bureau will
furnish abundant material for
study. The pamphlet can be had
by application at the survey office
in the Kapuaiwa Building.
Besides the tables furnishing
meteorological data, there are foot
notes to each page, relative to un-
usual tides. heavy rainfalls, strong
winds, ETC., but no record is publish
ed of earthquakes which occasion
ally occur ON Hawaii, though the
report makes reference to some. If |
a complete list of the different
and heavy earthquakes
which have occurred since 1920 |
could be made up, it would be
valuable record to preserve for re-
ference. 1t is possible some per-
sons living on Hawaii have records
kept in private journals; if not, the
only source of information would
be the Volcano House books. And
even these are not complete, as
several of the earlier volumes were
taken to America, one of which is

The public of the Hawai-

the best thing in the way OF
oil stoves is universally ad-
mitted by them to be the
justly celebrated Blue Flame

So much are they appre-
ciated that we would not
mention them were it not
for the fact that a fresh sup
ply has reached us. In ad-
dition to these sizes in use
here, we have a third or
smaller size, especially re-
commended and constructed
for small families, and en-
bracing all the qualities
found in the larger sizes.

OlL.BEARING STRATAS.
Cochise Otitrs a GoOd Field
 For Investigation.

When the oil bearing stra.as cf Cochise county, which give every in- dication o. carrying oil, are developed . valuable industry will be ca l y established and it would not be bcss:- ing to expect to see region here develop as extensive in field as that oi Los Angeles. All that IS necessary to demonstrate the theory Is the sinking of c well to greater depth than where the frst oil in iicAt!ons were struck. This has net been done thus far owing to inefficient appliances to prosecute lurthur explorations. That oil exists here is undisputed, and will only be & matter of time when it will be tapped and brought to the surface.
 Thero is always a healthy demand for crude oil and situated as it is near the railroad is the more valuable. A big consumer would be the Southern Pacific Railroad which has formally entered the field as a purchaser of petroleum. It is reported that the management of that company has had seven locomotives changed to crude oil burners within the week just closed, and ths. two purchases oi oil in bulk have been made by the corpsratiop, one Of 10000 barrels and the other of 20,0OO barrels.

CONVICT LABOR.
The Famous Prison Lab r
 Contract Med fled.

The noted Yuma prison convict labor contract, made by ex-Governor Hughes and fought in the courts ty his successor, Governor Franklin, is now in q fair way for fulfllmsnt. The original contract, which was sustained in 8 test before Judge Baker, turned over the iomstes Of the penit itentisry, about lJ0 in number, to the State Of Arizona Improvement Company, for use in the construction Of & great canal which, tas ing its water from tho Colorado above Yuma, would irri gate several hun iicI thousand acres ef rich table land, extending dJwn even into Sonors. In return the Ter ritory was 10 reooIve wage Of seventy cent, day for each convirt's daily labor, the Territory feeding ard guarding. The wage, however, was no. to be h cash, but in water rights of the State o: Arizona canal, at Sl5 an acre, the watrr to be uted only on lands belonging or to be acquired by the Territory.
 Despite protests from Manager Ives of the company. Governor McCord has insisted upon material alterations to the contract. These qualifications, which have been accept q, embrace the fliag of heavy bond to insure the completion of the canal, the pur- chase Of llrge amount of excsyating machinery, and an obligation that the canal company shall continually per- form at least as much work on the canal by other means as shall be per- formed by the convicts. s.-S.ockmsr.

AN UNFORTUNATE FIRE.
Destroys the Elaborate Decorations of the
Americus Club's Banquet Hall

PITTSBURG, PA, April 29.-The
eleventh annual banquet of the Americus
Club. in honor of General Grant, was held
tonight. in spite of the fire in the banquet
hall, which destroyed the decorations and
threatened for a time to put stop to
the ceremonies.
The club had made great preparations
for the event and the decorations were
out of tho ordinary in extent and design.
The decorators had been al work for sew
eral days and had adorned the ceiling
with four rows of inverted pyramids, con-
structed of red, white and blue bunting.
The pyramids. several hundred in number
entirely covered the ceiling and points Of
them extended TO within about eight feet
of the floor An electric light was sus-
pended from the tip of each, with smilaX
festooned from point to point The general
effect was very beautiful. The windows
were also artlstically draped. and in the
centre of the ncrth wall was life-size
portrait of the hero of AppomattoX.
The club management wished to secure
a photograph of the decorated hall, and
in the attempt to secure a flash-light pic
ture an explosion occurred, which was
quickly followed by flomes that practice
ally destroyed the entire decoration of the
hall.
Men were at once put to work to re-
move the debris and the banquet was de-
layed only about an hour. The dismantled
condition of the room proving but slight
detraction from the evenings enjoyment.
There were 324 diners seated at the table
with u. s. Trent as toastmaster. The
toasts and speakers were as follows:
Senator William f. Mason. Grant and
His Party" Representative William Al
den Smith. Grants Foreign Policy
Senator G. /. wellington. "Republican
Party in the South" Major B. F. Warner
"Partisanship."
Senator Mark A. Hanna. of Ohio. and
Commissioner Of Patents Benjamin But

to toasts. could not be present.
Among the guests was Col. Robert G'

Letters Of regret were read from many
prominent people, among them being Pres
ident Mckinley. Mrs. L. S. Grant. Col.
