Some Of the materials used for fuel
in various parts OF the world seem ex-
traordinary. In certain shoe making
towns IL Massachusetts,, such as Lynn,
there are some very poor people who
burn nothing else but leather chips
from one end of the winter 10 the
other. They get them from the fac
tories by the wheelbarrow load
Such chips, OF course, shoulder
with a great deal of smoke. They
form incandescent masses which have
to be broken up from time to time

In Small Compass

A ruby weighing a. much as five
carats is worth ten TO twelve times al
much as a diamond of the same weight
even though the latter might be of th'
first water" Tie ruby, therefore
instead Of the diamond, is the msteria
which embodies the highest none,

CHROMATIC COLORS.

Pat wanted to get from Washing ton to Norfolk and had no money. His story excited the sympathy of a shipmaster, who finally agreed to let him work his passage. Pat was willing, but densely ignorant of all things maritime, and no real sea duty fell to him until the vessel was sailing down Chesapeake bay with a fair breeze and plenty of sea room. The captain then told Pat to take turn at the lookout forward and in- structed him to promptly report anything he might see. It was g. clear night, and soon after the lock- out took his position he sang out:
 "Ah, captaint
 Well, Pat?"
 There's something out here fore- ninst the boat"
 What Is it?" said the captain, to test Pats seafaring knowledge, the lights of an approaching steamer being visible.

TROUBLE OVER THE LEASE
PROCEEDINGS MAY DELAY WORK
ON NEW PLANTATION.
S. NJ. Ballou, One of the Attorneys,
Files a Statement-He States that
Work May Be Delayed One Year.

A motion for rehearing in the mat
A. Brown has been filed in the SUI
preme Court. J.. A. Thurston with
drew from the case on account of his
intended departure and another Gus
tice has to be substituted. S. M. Bal
lou, one of the attorneys in the case,
makes affidavit that the decision of
this case involves the question of
whether the title to the large tract of
land required by the projected Oahu
Plantations is in Irene E. Brown, or
in trustees; that the said Irene Brown
and her husband, c. A. Brown, on be-
lief that the title of said land is in
them, have entered into an agreement
giving Lincoln McCandless a right to
pasturage on the lands in question
that said McCandless refuses to re-
lease said pasturage in order that a
lease may be made to the projected
Oahu Sugar Company unless he is paid
&c. 900 per year.
The promoter and agents of the
Oahu plantation have informed the
parties interested that a good title
must be given forthwith, or the pro
jected Oahu plantation will be aband
oned entirely. Besides the threatened
abandonment of the Oahu plantation
there is danger of it being postponed
for year on account of the pending
controversy. Certain pumps must b'
ordered at once if the plantation is t.
be started this year, and the promoter
and agents of the plantation refuse t.
take any steps whatever until they ar
assured of the lease in question.

.TAu|ARD UNDER ARREST
THE CAPTAIN CAUGHT WITH
OPIUM IN HIS VALISE.
The Police on the Track of Large
Amount of Opium But Their Plans
Were Foiled-Midnigh Search.

For two months, ever since their re-
turn to the islands, an eagle eye has
been kept on Opium" Brown and
Captain j. w. Blake, alias Talliard,
by the police and custom house
authorities. Their actions have been
very suspicious throughout this per-
iod, but they were allowed to go their
way until an early hour this morning.
Detective David Kappa arrested
Blake at 2 o'clock this morning. He
was taken to the police station, along
with his valise, which contained a
sample of opium. AT the same ime a
search was made on the premises of
Frank Lillis, the hackman, ut moth
ing was found. "Opium" Brown, the
alleged ring leader of the gang, was
not molested, nor will he unless fur
ther developments warrant his arrest.
That Blake and his partners have in
their possession an immense quantity
of opium, which ehey have just SNUG
gled into the country, the marshal
firmly believes. He has evidence and
information to substantiate this. The
plans of the police mad been carefully
laid and the big lot of opium was to
have been seized last night but Blake
and his associates, if he had any, were
too oily for the police. A hunt for the
opium is still in progress under the
direction of Detective KAPPA.
Blake, or Talliard, as he is known in
Victoria, was up in the Police Court
this morning. He has retained George
| A. Davis for his counsel. The case
was postponed for trial until next
| Tuesday.

are on moral wager with the "Petit
Jouranl" of Paris, 10 accomplish the
feat of touring the world without a

travelling expenses without injuring
our qualifications as journalists or our
dignity as Parisians. We are depending
entirely on our professional knowledge
and hope to have completed our jour-
ney by this time next year"

very entertaining gentlemen. They
are both friends of old standing and
are on the present voyage more for
the experience and knowledge 1T will
bring. They started on foot, have
taken to bicycles, ridden on horse
back, in carriages, in a jinricksha,
wheelbarrow, on the train and steam

the journalists of Paris. He is some
what of musician and possesses a
fine baritone voice. They have many
experiences and adventures to relate,
and are clever conversationalists.

next issue of their paper, which will
be published in San Francisco. The
paper is printed in French, English
and Japanese.
