\ NEW ISLAND.

Mr.. Hewitt of Labuan, gives in the
British North Borneo Herald the fol-
lowing particulars of the new island
which was recently thrown up by vol
canic action near the coast of Borneo,
between NIeanpakoi and Lumbidan. 1t
made its appearance ON the oath of
December. The island, which is about
As feet high, $50 yards long and $50
yards broad, is of very peculiar APP
pearance. 1t is chiefly an upheaval
of the sea bottom but at the highest
point it presents entirely different fea-
lures. Here the surface of the sea
bottom has been broken through from
below and a mud crater formed
which has evidently been forcibly
squeezed up through a circular hole
in the bedrock further down. The
mud crater presents the form of q
cone with the top and side in places
fallen in; the portions remaining In
tact show plainly, by the smooth stri-
ated sides. the effects of squeezing
through the rock. The cone at its Wis
ible base is perhaps twenty yards in
diameter and is surrounded at about
thirty yards distance by a circular
terrace a few feet high, which sug-
gests that a little more pressure from
below would have resulted in a Far
larger cone being thrown up. There
is a lot of bubbling going on in va
rious cracks and holes emitting a gas
which flares up when match is APP
piled and continues to burn.

new DOWN TOWN HOTEL.
THOMAS X. JAMES WILL STAY IN
HONOLULU.
Has Plans Already Mapped Out for a
New First Class Hotel-Shake Up in
Hotel Circles.

A first class hotel will be built N
Honolulu during the first half of the
coming year. The manager of the new
hostelry will be Thomas X. James,
who has just retired from the mana
cement of the Hawaiian hotel
Mr.. James already has a fund of
$4,000 to carry out his scheme. He
has interested with him some influ-
entail and public spirited citizens,
who have the greatest faith in his
ability as a hotel man.
The proposed new hotel will be cen
trally located and will be modern in
every particular. 1t is the purpose OF
the promoters to establish what Hon
olulu has long been in need of--u
first class hotel.
Some have deemed it advisable to
erect the new hotel at Waikiki, but
Mr.. James is decidedly opposed to this
He says that the time has not yet ar
rived for a big hotel at Waikiki
beach. 1t would not be self support
ing. Some day. after annexation has
been accomplished, and rapid transit
lines have put put in, will be when a
hotel there will be needed.
In all probability, however, the new
hotel company will conduct an annex
at the beach.
The retirement of Mr.. James from
the management of the Hawaiian ho.
tel was a great surprise to everybody
1t resulted from disagreement over
detail in the management of the no
tel between Manager James and e. G.
Macfarlane, the proprietor. Mr.. James
submitted his resignation. 1t was ac.
cepted and Peter NJ. Lucas was install.
ed as his successor. Mr.. Lucas was
manager of the hotel previous to Mr.
James arrival. He has many friends
who will wish him success in his di.
rection of the hotel affairs -.

LUCKILY SAVED.

Two tiny Chinese children clinging
desperately to the seat of an express
wagon drawn rapidly by a runaway
horse down King street this mornin,,
set Chinatown agog. Scores of people
rushed screaming into the street and
waved their arms franticially at the
frightened animal, but he eluded
them all. and turning into the rail
road yard made across country for
the bay and sure destruction. The
rescuer turned up not a moment too
soon, He was a tall native, and the
agility with which he overlook the
hwagon and clambred in over the tail
board told that he had great nerve
and strength. Fortunately the lines
were still hanging on the dashboard,
and it took but few seconds to-
seize them and bring the horse to a
standstill. The Chinese expressman,
who had followed the runaway in a
hack, soon came. up and gave the ma
tivNe half dollar for his bravery.
The children were uninjured.

another BANK COMING
TO BE A BRANCH HOUSE OF A BIG
CHINA CONCERN.
Goo Kim, the Chinese Diplomatic Ag-
ent, May Directs Its Affairs-Some,
Shareholders in Honolulu.

That Honolulu is forging ahead was
brought to mind this morning when
the announcement was made that an
other bank will be established in the
city shortly after the first of the year.
The new concern is to be a branch
of the big Pelting Banking Company.
This company started in lien Tsin
and has branch banks established IN
Hongkong, Annoy and other cities in
China.
There are a number of shareholders
of the company among the Chinese
merchants of Honolulu. Principal
among these are Goo Kim, Chinese
commercial agent: Kwong Kwai ~
Co., and others. The largest stock
holder is All Lee, who owns a large
rice plantation at Koolau and a cat
tie ranch at Paia, Maui.
1t is not known yet who will man.
age the Honolulu branch, though it is
believed that the place will be offered
to Commercial Agent Goo Kim. There
is considerable correspondence to en-
sue yet before the bank is opened.
The location has not yet been de-
termined upon, but it is understood
that the Honolulu shareholders will
endeavor to have il located between
Nuuanu and Fort streets. All trade
will be catered to. but the Chinese in
particular.
One of the officials of the Chinese
Banking company will probably ar
rive in Honolulu soon after the hoti-
days to complete all arrangements for
the opening of the bank.

TRAPPING GROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net ths wi
 Birds.

It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net thN wffy
 Birds.
 Grows are trapped and sold to sports men for shooting matches, usually bring. ing $I0 per 100, but, like other things. when scarce they bring more.
 It is no simple matter to trap crows, for rae crow is 3 willy bird, and to catch him in net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience as well, but the hunger of the crow is always the trapper's greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait wide berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing the carcass of some anil nal on field the net is set close to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hung fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs. and q line run 50 yards or more to 3 house built of boughs, where the trap per is seereted.
 Another carcass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no nek set The trappers, usually two in mum. ber, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- gin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows. seeing him leave, grow little bolder and approach the bait ill ones and twos, but stop only long enough to get beak- ful of the ftSh and fly off again. The carcass where there Is no net ses iR oS course the best patroniZed, but the trap per on the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in mum bers and thus satisfying their hunger with nut going to the one where the net is After awhile their hunger gets the bet. ter of fheir judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where ths net is. This is the opportunity Of the man in tho bough house, who, with vigorous pull on the line, springs the net over them. Quick work must be done then ty the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crowr from crawling cut at the ends and the front, where it is net staked fast to the ground. Wifh their hands covered with stout buckskip gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, tho captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried of the field. From 10 to G0 are frequently caught at one pull, but is IS rare thing to get more than two springs of the net in ore day. --Phila- delphia Record,
