The consciousness that they are doomed,
that the cliffs and the sea are for them a

lease. does not seem to weigh on their
spirits. The leper settlement is terrible

Heroic Tragedies.
In this colony of living death there are
heroic tragedies dragging out day by day.
Among the lepers we talked with was the
son of former cabinet minister. He has a
trace of white blood in his veins. He HIS

executive abilities are conspicuous. He has
been intrusted with much responsibility by
the government, and has shown himself
worthy Of 1t. His services have been 81
most priceless in the administration of the
affairs Of the settlement He is still fertile
in suggestion and active in practical i'm
provement. But his faculties are not quite
as strong and clear as they were a while
ago. He knows what this means, but he
goes bravely on with his work. Another, a
young man, was few days ago the pride
and the hope Of his teachers in the Kame-
hameha schools, which are exclusively for
the education of Hawaiians. He gave great
promise of successful career as an archi-
tect. A visit to the worlds fair in Chicago
was part of his training. Before ne re-
turned to Hawaii certain symptoms de-
veloped which must have meant poignant
agony for this young man. with his talent
and his ambition. On his return he suh

enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln,
Neb.; 80 miles of brass rod was required
for spoke nipples. If the spokcs, spoke nip
pies and tubing were placed in a straight
line they would reach from Chicago to the
Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks,
II placed end to end, would cover a distance
of % miles. They used 35 miles of steel for
crank aXles, wheel aXles and pedal axles,
and E miles of steel for seat posts. If the
rims that were used in the manufacture of
Crescents in '96 were placed one upon the
other they would make a pile 49,, 500 feet
high, 5000 feet higher than Pixies Peak
and about the height of Mount Elias in
Alaska, whose summit has never yet been
reached by man, 1t required 32,0S4 square
feet of sheet steel to make the Crescent
hollow tooth sprockets, and 2ls76 square
feet for the steel stampiugs of the head and
seat post clamps, or in all enough fiat steel
to cover an area OF II acres There were
used 10 miles Of cork grips, lO3 miles of
finished hubs, and % miles of steel wire to
pin frames together before brazing. The
finished chains end to end, would reach
40 miles, and the different pieces of which
they are composed would reach 2374 miles,
or in all 307t miles, the distance from Chi.
cago to Cincinnati. The bearings of 1896
Crescents required 1897 800 steel balls,
which, if placed in 4 straight line, side by

when she suddenly set all predictions at
naught by marrying a wealthy man who dis

work She was very quiet under this re-

ly. Therefore when, at dinner party one
evening, she asked her old friend, Gen.
Bashar, to come and see her on the follow
ing evening and inspect her last piece of
work, which she thought the best and most
lifelike she had ever executed, he sup
posed he was to use his influence to prevail
upon the husband to permit her to resume
her place among the working fraternity of
artists.

said, with winning smile. at fairly lives

On the appointed evening the general,
with some misgivings over the delicacy Of

his hostess, to his surprise, offered to bring
her last bit to him.
