Judge wiIcoN Commits the Defendant
for Trial In the Circuit Court.
Judge Wilcox presided at the
examination Of VIM. j. Coelho
this morning on q charge of en-
bezzlement. Chas. Creighton APP
peared for the defendant, who did
not plead.
Judge de la Vergne testified
that the defendant was clerk and
interpreter of the District Court
of which he was the Judge, and
that as such clerk he had charge
of the money paid into court for
fines up to February 8 or 8, when
in consequence of information re.
ceived from the deputy marshal
he found q shortage of $40 in the
amount turned over by Coelho to
him compared with that turned
over to Coelho by the deputy
marshal's clerk. He called the
defendant into his office either on
the Sth or 9th and informed him
OF the discrepancy and asked him
if he had been borrowing any
money from the government. He
said nothing. 1 then told him L
had heard he had borrowed money
from. the government while he
was Marshal's clerk. He then
said he had done wrong and
would make a full confession of
the matter. He said he had
taken over $40 of government
money in January. In reply to
further questions he acknowledge
ed taking money every month
since 1 had been judge but could
not say how much it was in all. l
told him his services as clerk were
no longer needed. Later in the
day he repeated the statements to
me i'll the presence of the Marshal.
Marshal Brown testified to the
admissions made by the defendant
to Judge de la Vergne In his pre-
sence.
For the defense attorney C-eigh-
ton moved that the defendant be
discharged because there is no
such Office as clerk and inter
prefer of the District Court, there
being no law creating such Office
or defining its duties. And there
is no law by which the defeno ant
could have become entrusted with
the control and custody of the
money of the Hawaiian govern
ment as such clerk. Further there
was no evidence that the money
was embezzled or that it belonged
to the government.
Judge Wilcox overruled the
motion and ordered the defendant
committed for trial at the next
term of the Circuit Court.

Make Your Own Cook Book.

A most valuable cook book, which no
printed volume can ever supersede, is
the individual work of it's owner. 1t is
composed Of recipes, tested and true,
collected from various places, and con-
tanning directions which the owner un-
derstands and rules that suit her indi-
vidual taste. This cook book may be
written on tinted and glazed writing
paper, leaving wide margins at the
sides. 1t Is good plan to arrange it
III sections, allowing one section for
soups, one for fish and crustacea, one
for meats and fowls, one for game and
one for salads and desserts. A section
might also be added for preserves,
candies and valuable miscellaneous re-
cipes, and the whole should be indeXed
in another final section. 1t will be
found most convenient 10 have each of
these sections in individual covers, as
one can then be used without wear Gp-
on the others. These covers may be
made of white oilcloth, celluloid or
some glazed material, and may be dec.

High-Priced BumbIebee..

Many years ago the farmers Of Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia, but
sfter their coming the farmers had no
more difficulty on that score. Mr. OAR
win had shown that bumblebees were
the only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed a proboscis sufficient
liz long to reach the bottom of the long.
tube-like flowers, and, at the same
time, body heavy enough to bend
down the clover-head so that the pollen
would fall on the insects back, and
thus be carried off to fertilize other
flowers of tho same species. According
10 4 writer in Popular Science News,
the bumblebes sent to Australia cost
tie farmers there about half a dollar
:piece, but they proved to be worth the
Irice.

A Baseball Duel

The story is told by students in the
German university city of Leipsic of
strange duel which once occurred there
between an American and young
German student. The American was
graduate Of Yale. He had sQuabble
with law student and a challenge re-
suited. The Yale man knew nothing
about weapons of the ordinary kind.
but he had pitched in the Yale base
ball nine. So, to get his fun out of the
affair, he named base-balls as the weap-
base-balls at ten PAGES. The Ger
man had never heard of a baseball
and none could be got in Leipsic to IL
ustrate to him their deadly qualities.
Eventually the Yale man said ordinary
hard wood base-balls, three inches in
diameter, would do him. Both princi-
pals accordingly were supplied with
hard wood balls, and at in the morn
ing the procession moved out to the
RoSenthal with surgeons, seconds and
friendly advisers. The rest Of the story
is brief and painful. At the first ex-
change the Yale man sent an incurye
into the natives jaw, just to the left
of the mouth, and broke it. The ma
tive's second declared that honor had
been satisfied and the procession
moved back to the town for breakfast
all except the victim of the incurve,
who was taken to a private clinic to
be repaired.

A SDarrOw Prima Donna.

Monsieur Mingaud, a naturalist of
Mines, France, gives, in La Revue Sci
lrtifique, an interesting account of the
musical accomplishments of sparrow
in his collection of living birds. He
captured the sparrow soon after It had
been hatched, and fed it by hand until
it could care for itself. Then he placed
1t in a cage containing a chaffinch,
geld finch and two canaries. After a
time the sparrow learned to warble
like the finches and to trill like the
canaries, the limitations being so per-
feet as to deceive the ear. In spring
Monsieur Mingaud is accustomed to
keep a box of crickets near his bird
cages. Two days after the crickets
had been placed near the cage contain
ing the sparrow the latter began to imi-
tate their cry, intermingling it with its
songs. Even after the crickets had
long been dead the sparrow remember
cd its lesson, and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the crickets. Singu-
larly enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry of its own
species having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned it.

A Short-Lived Island,

In 1867 a new shoal was discovered
ia the group of the Tonga, or Friendly
Islands. In 1877 smoke was seen over
the shoal In 1885 the shoal had be-
come a volcanic island, more than two
miles long and 240 feet high, and a
fierce eruption was taking place within
it. In 1886 the island had begun to
shrink in dimensions, although the
next year its highest point was 325 feet
ebove sea level. In 1889 it's height had
diminished One-half, and the ocean
close around it was more than a mile
deep. In 1892 the island rose only
about twenty six feet above sea level.
According to the latest information, its
complete disappearance, under the ac-
ton of the waves, will not be long de-
layed.

PHOTOGRAPHlNG A SHOT.
Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time of Flash of Electricity.

Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time of Flash of Electricity.
Recent achievements in the moving
photography that has produced the anl-
matograph, biograph, cinematograph
and other representations of motion are
not more wonderful than the lately per-
fected photography of the flying bullet.
Professor G. Vernon Boys, F. r. S.. has
worked on this seemingly unsolyable
problem with great success, as have also
two Italian artillery officers.
In the course of lecture On the SUBJ
ject, Mr.. Boys demonstrated that the
ordinary notion that all electric spark is
instantaneous was quite erroneous and
stated that the light of the two ends of
the ordinary electric spark lasted lit
tie less than the one hundred thousandth
part Of a second. 1t was, Of course, in
Simultaneous to our senses, but to tests
which could measure accurately to the
one-hundred millionth part of a second
the electric spark was anything but in
Simultaneous. This spark was no good
for taking the photograph Of flying
bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib-
iting one Of his attempts. which made
quite blurred picture.
Mr.. Boys then proceeded to explain
the steps which he took in order to re-
duce the length of time Of the electric
spark. To this end it was essential that
the terminals should be made CT copper,
platinum or some metal which did not
produce readily an ignitible vapor, and
the electric current must not be driven
through wires at all. He used q very
thick, broad band Of copper, not more
than two inches long, which reached
around the edge of the plate, so that the
electric current had not more than
three or four inches to SO altogether.
He explained by diagrams how he had
effected his object and shortened the
time of the spark to about one-thirteen
millionth of a second, CT about 1CO
times quicker than the ordinary flash.
To give the audience some idea of the
inifinitesimal fraction of time, he said
the time occupied by the spark as re-
duced by his apparatus was proportions
ately as much less than second as a
second was less than five months, and
during that time bullet fired from a
magazine rife could not travel more
than one five hunGredth part CT an inch.
By this simple ccntrivance be was able
to get brighter and shelter spark and
all that was necessary to make a gocd
and sharp picture. New York World.

The Flight of the SUN,

Astronomers know that the sun, ac-
oompanied by the earth and the other
PLANETS, is moving toward a point in
the northern heavens with great speed.
Just what the velocity is, however, can
snot yet be told with certainty. Prof.
Simon Newcomb. in a recent lecture,
said that it was probably between five
miles and nine miles per second. The
bright star Alpha Lyrae lies not far
from the point toward which the sun
is moving. Every moment we are get
ting nearer to the place where that star
now is. "When shall we get there ?
Probably in less than a million years;
perhaps in half a million"

His Choice.

1t is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes es silly annoyed, and on one
occasion. at conference, he became
so irritated at the proliX remarks of a
speaker that he said to his brother:
stop that mans speaking. Let US
attend to business"
But the offender was relating his
religious experience, and though it was
at so great a length, John Wesley
evidently thought that no one had a
right to interfere with it. He was
therefore allowed to continue, but the
moment came when Charles could con-
tain himself no longer.
"Unless he stops" he whispered to
John. "I'll leave the conference"
By this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story, and he only turned
and whispered to some one sitting
near:
"Reach Charles his hat!'

the Imperial Geographical Society at
st. Petersburg, he expressed his belief
that with two such ships, each of ten
thousand horsepower, acting together,

could be kept open in winter to the port
Of st. Petersburg, and he added that
they could even force their way
through the glacial ocean if the thick
