Birmingham Deutcher Turn Verin Will
 Give Pyrotechnic Display April 29.
 On Sunday night, at a meeting of the Birmingham Deutcher Turn Verein, it was decided to have a grand pyrotechnic display at Lakeview park on the night of April 29. It is intended to excel the grand display of last year, and to this end, on motion of President Emil Les ser, $500 was appropriated out of the general fund.
 AS at their first display, the admission to the fire works display will be gratis, but small price of admission to the athletic contests on the occasion will be charged. Of course, it.is not expected to derive sufficient revenue from this source to cover the expense, but the Turn Verein are always up to date and will leave nothing undone to make the occa- sion a great success

A FINE REHEARsAL

full rehearsal of "Mikado" was had at St. Pauls hall last night and every indication points to grand performance of that delightful opera by home talent in the near future. A noticeable feature of last nights rehearsal was the rapid strides made by MT. Hans Reig in the role of "Ko Ko." Of magnificent propor- tions, splendid ability and a powerful voice, there is no f1esitancy In saying he will prove an excellent selection for the character. The chorus is also strong and improving rapidly >e' @A---s -

The following extracts from a letter

situation in the United States:
I'VE will give the present situation
of the coffee market in San Francisco.
Business in general in our city is quiet
but the coffee market is especially dull

indicate materially lower prices in all

that il is to the interest of our friends,

While we have now a good stock of
Hawaiian coffee on hand, we have
thought OF buying a somewhat larger
supply direct. say 400 or 500 bags, OBJ
tanning perhaps better quality by hav-
ing a larger assortment from which
TO make selection. Price, of course, to
be cash, less 2 per cent, on receipt of
coffee; coffee reweighed by public
weighers.
We received yesterday letter from
Puma planter, asking us to name him
q price for some of his coffee. but with
out samples, il would be difficult for us
10 make him a firm offer. If there was
Il small lot here of this coffee, however,
at present. we would perhaps be war
Tanted in paying. say 10 or 20 cents for
the same. Thirty days hence. values,
as we have before intimated, We think
will be lower"

The decorations were noticeably diff

of the kind. The large flags along the
sides were absent and in their places
were small pennants and decorations
of green's. American and Hawaiian
flags at the entrance formed a very
acceptable curtain.
The stage where the Hawaiian Ma

furnish music for the occasion was an
attractive spot. In front of the foot
lights was the American cOat-of-arms

The evening was spent in the enjoy
ment of the dance and very few there
were of the people present who did not
indulge. The floor was in excellent
condition so that one dance was only
an incentive to another and still an
other. Among those present were
Colonel Fisher, officers of the n. G.. H

ALASKA FISH.
TdeJ- Are Used for Food, Light and
Heat by the Natives.

Heat by the Nativos.
species OF fish abounds In the
waters OF Alaska that are useful both
rs food and fuel. They are taken in
Immense quantities with nets and lines.
After being caught they are dried and
stored away until the long winter
months arrive. when It gets dark early
and the Alaskan Is showed up. Here
comes an opportunity for using them
Not bit at loss for light, the Alas
kan takes one OF these dried fish, in
serts its tail into crack in his rough
wooden table and lights its nose The
fish burns with a bright and steady
light OF about three candle power. CIV
ing clear, white light and very con-
siderable amount of heat. A fairly
large fish will burn for n period OF three
hours
The scientific explanation is extreme
ly simple. The vertebrate which form
the backbone of the fish are found TO
be largely formed of phosphorus. which
not only causes il to ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength OF the
Game and the heat developed. The sub
stance of the fish. which consists so
largely of fat, acts as retarder to ;he
rapid burning of the vcrtebrae in pre-
ctsely the same Way rs the tallow acts
in an ordinary candle. The fat of the
fish Is largely composed of stearine,
which is also the chief chemical consIit-
uent of the tallow used for making can
dies, and which gives them their firm
ness and consistency
Valuable as is the fish for its light
giving properties, it also has its value
as food. If necessary IT can be eaten
after having been used ms a candle. it

boiled or cooked In the ordinary man
nor. In whichever way II is treated. TO
n hungry man II serves as n very wei
come and appetizng dish. In flavor 1t
is much like the smeN, having the
same sweet taste, but Is much fatter.
Still another use to which 1t can be
put is as Il substitute for cod liver oil.
which, If taken in sufficient quantity,
by aiding the natural heat of the body,
proves an excellent protective against
the we're cold. The oil Is obtained
from the fish by immersing them In
cold water and squeezing, the product
obtained being almost equal in quality
TO the genuine cod liver oil.

A Unique Pipe.

a novel pipe for transmitting hydrau-
lie pressure is In use at the Victoria
bridge, near the mouth of the River
Dee, England. As described in the En-
cheering News, it consists OF solid
drawn lead pipe covered with close
coils Of copper wire, and is used for
conveying water at 100 pounds per
square inch pressure from one Side Of
the river TO the other to operate the
machinery OF span of the swing
bridge. At first copper pipe one and
half inches in diameter, jointcd with
screwed unions, was used, but the
securing action of the tide washed out
the bed of the river, left tn" pipe un-
supported in two places and caused it
To leak. The new pipe made of lead,
wrapped with copper wire, is more
flexible than the old one, and II Is cy-
pected 1t will work more satisfactorily.
