MR.. EDITOR:-In your issue of Feb
ruary 18th, there appears an article on
Gold in Hawaii in which you scout
the idea of there being any gold here.
1 can assure you that you are wrong.
I know for a positive fact that on the
Island of Kauai, a specimen of quartz
was dug out by a Chinaman working
under my immediate supervision. This
Chinaman was an old California min
er, and he insisted that the rock con-
tanned gold. 1 forwarded piece of it
to Honolulu, to the owner of the land,
who had it assayed, and it went $1.75
to the ton. To be sure, this is not a
paying yield, but it shows that gold
does exist here. For reasons unneces-
sary to mention the matter was kept
secret.
On the Island of Maui 1 know of an
old stone wall from which have pick
ed many specimens of crystalized
quartz, which are very beautiful, in
deed. Crystalized quartz and gold are
never separated very widely.

SHORT DISCUSSION.
Pertaining to Wholesale Death OF
Hogs in the CITY.

Hogs in the City.
At the Board of Health meeting yes
terday afternoon matter of interest
outside of the regular proceedings
came up for discussion. The meat re-
port of DR.. Monsarrat had just come
up for discussion, and upon coming to
the part bearing upon hogs, Mr.. C. A.
Brown asked if it was not a fact that
a large number of hogs had died IL the
city quite recently. DR.. Mousarrat an
swered that such was a fact.
Messrs. Brown and Lansing eX-
pressed the opinion that Dr.. Monsarrat
should include in, or rather, append to
his weekly reports facts for the infor-
nation OF the board.
DIR. Monsarrat replied that such mat
tiers were not within his province. His
work was the examination OF meat
and did not pertain to the livestock IN
the city. This came directly under the
jurisdiction of the Interior Depart
ment. He had notified the veterinary
surgeon, whose business it was to look
after such matters.
When the matter was put in this
fight and Messrs. Brown and Lansing
saw how things stood they expressed
the opinion that all matters of the
kind should come under the jurisdic-
ton of the Board of Health.
DR.. Monsarrat offered, however, to
furnish the board with any information
of the kind that may crop up in the
future.

A REGULATING Goose.

1t is doubtful if another dumb ANNA
ever caused greater mischief than a
goose did recently in Lanesboro, N Y
That goose stole a dozen valuable ar
ticles and brought about the discharge
of servant. For a long time the
family of Mr.. Albert jerks has been
missing valuables, and charged then
disappearance to Miss Annie Coogan,
a domestic. The girl was threatened
with arrest to make her confess and
when she protested her innocence she
was discharged. AS articles continued
to disappear the family was in a
quandary A pet goose had trick of
knocking at the door in quest Of dain-
ties, and on being admitted would go
all about the house. One afternoon re-

the goose take gold watch and chain

followed and saw it hide the timepiece

A Volcanic Island Group.

The Hawaiian Islands possess prob
ably a greater variety of climate and
diversity of natural features than any
other group of islands of like extent in
the world. But one dominant feature
for which they are best known and
most famed is to be found in their
mountain peaks and volcanoes. While
many other Pacific islands are of coral
formation. these are distinctly volcanic.
Each member of the group has one or
more commanding peaks. On the
largest, Hawaii itself, are the stipend
GUS cones Of Mauna Loa and Mauna
kea, which rival the loftiest Alps, and
far outrank any other island noun
tains in the world save the lately dis
covered peak in Papua. Here, also, is
Kilauea, on the side of Mauna Loa :
making with the summit crater of the
latter the largest two active volcanoes
in the world; while just across the
channel. in Maui, towers the gigantic
Haleakala, an extinct volcano, surpass-
ing Mount Etna in size and grandeur

A Lions Affection.

Old time chronicles tell a remark
able story of gratitude and affection
shown for man by lion. During the
First Crusade, a knight of the crusad-
ing army, Sir Godfrey de la Tour,
while riding out from the camp in the
early evening came to thick jungle.
1t was difficult to penetrate, being both
painless and without a road but the
young knight persevered, and present.
~ came to an open spot where he was
startled by strange noise made by
something or some one in great pain
or distress. 1t came from a dark thick
ct in which he could see strange forms
in action belonging to some living
or things, he knew not what. Dis
mounting, with a bound, he cautious
ly advanced with his sword unsheathed
What was his establishment to discover
that these heartrending cries came
from no human being, but from lion,
about which the folds of an enormous
serpent were coiled Obeying the first
impulse of a generous heart he killed
the serpent with a single stroke of
his sword and then leaped aside TO
avoid the expected attack Of the tor
ture maddened beast he had rescued
from death. For a few seconds the
almost breathless beast glared at him
with gradually opened eyes. and then
slowly turned towards him, advanced,
in a half-crouching attitude, to lie
down before him, licking his feet.
When he rode away the huge beast fol-
lowed him like dog, and, to the great
terror of the sentinels and guards went
with him to his tent, took shelter with
In 1t, submitted to be chained. and was
seen by crowds of laughing visitors.
During the whole of the time he was
with the Crusaders the noble beast was
never absent from his self-chosen lord
and master, and the utmost cofidence
was soon reposed in its perfect tame
ness. At length the young knight was
ready to depart, and had determined
that his lion should return with him
TO PranCc. But the captain of the yes
sci would not consent to the beast
being taken on board. nor could plead
Ing CO bribery induce him to risk the
lives of any one Of his crew or the pas
sengers ne had with him. The result
was taat when Godfrey de la Tour was
rowed out to his ship the beast en-
deavored to go with him, and, being
prevented, began to roar hideously. At
last he plunged into the water and en-
deavored to overtake first the boat, and
then the ship but his strength being
soon exhausted, Godfrey, with tears
in his eyes, saw the faithful and CRATE
fully affectionate beast sink, never TO
rise again.

old time New Workers.. a composer,
snatches from whose operas could be
heard in every drawing room twenty
five years ago, and whose pleasing met
odies filled Castle Garden and the old
Academy of Music, when "The Daugh-

Pasquale, Lucia di ChamouniX, Lll-

bearing the imprint of Donizetti's ge-

The sports of Young Animals.

What may be called the athletic
sports OF young animals are a direct
training for the future life. Flying.
for instance, is as unnatural to a young
bird as walking is to child, and chick
and baby alike attain their adult mode
of locomotion only after they have
trismphed over the crawling stage BY
continuous experimental practice. The
South American stink-pheasant when
it is a chick has claws upon its
wings, and uses its wings and legs
alike, in the fashion of a tree-lizard.
In mammals. the exercises of the
young bear a definite relation to adult
habit Mountaineering creatures, like
kids and chamois, continuously prac-
tice standing jumps, springing verti-
cally in the air in fashion that seems
irresistibly comical in the geological
gardens Gazelles, on the other hand
which in adult life have to jump water
courses and gullies on the veldt, con-
fine their youthful enthusiasm to prac-
tice Of the running Jump. Similarly
the play of tiger-cubs with balls or
with the tail of their mother, and
the wrestling and mimic combats OF
other carnivorous young, all exhibit an
instructive bias by which the restless
zeal of youth is disciplined for the real

merit OF an easy and abundant insplr-
ation-and those who have organized
these fetes to be held in honor Of their
composer are justified in their endeav-
ors. They owe to Donizetti all the
pleasures Of their youth, and that is
something which we never forget.
"It Is. therefore, with reason that his
co-citizens are anxious TO render him
those posthumous honors and have or
sanized to his memory a, so to speak,
retrospective exposition, at which Will
he gathered together all that relates
IN the composer Of The Martyrs.

committee has sent requests to all for

Time Piece Wound Once In Forty Years

limo Fleece Wound Once In Forty Years.
Two years ago a South Chicago jew
eler did some figuring He calculated
he would in all probability live forty
years. He knew it takes at least two
minutes to wind the ordinary house
clock. At that rate he figured he would
during the rest of his life, spend about
sixty days of his valuable time wind
ing the clock, to say nothing of time
and temper lost through forgetting 1t.
Then he decided to make a clock that
would have to be wound but once in
forty years. He spent his odd minutes
at the task, and has succeeded in pro-
ducing wonderful piece of mechanism
the only one of its kind, he claims,
in the world. This forty-year time
piece is fifteen inches in diameter, and
weighs seventy-ive pounds. 1 he move
ment is geared so that the barrel
wheel containing the handspring re-
wolves once in two and a half years.
When this wheel has made fifty-six
revolutions somebody will have to give
the key seventeen turns. The clock
Will then be wound up for another
forty years. The first wheel from the
barrel-wheel crowds around at the
rate of one turn year The dial-plate
is six inches in diameter. The making
OF the work took most of the jewelers.

movement is full-jewelled The clock
Will be put in Theoretically sealed
