I tons and note the men who are
doing the scientific work. With
out exception they are men from
l Germany or the United States
/ educated in the scientific institu-
. tions. Yet the boys whose educa-
ton Is furnished them by sugar
dividends. are devOting their at
| tentiOn 10 the classics. This is a
strange state of affairs. indeed.
when we take into consideration
of what inestimable value applied
science has been and will be in
the production Of our industrial
mainStay. The natural suppose
ton would be that young men
who have been brought up on
sugar and Intimately acquainted
with the requirements Of its pro
duction, would turn their atten-
tiOn to The practical courses of
study. II is also worthy of note
that our Government engineers
and teachers of science in our ed
ucatiOnal institutions are largely
men from the United States.
Just what is the reason for this
state of affairs we cannot say.
Possibly, it is due to the old
fashioned idea that exists III some
parts of the United States-claSS
zeal college men look down upon
the scientific institutions. Pos
sibly. it is because the young sons
of Hawaii dislike the idea of dis
coloring their fingers with the
acids of the laboratory, getting
black and dirty in the smoke and
grease of the machine shop, or
object to the outdoor hardships
of the civil engineering.
Whatever the cause may be, ii
certainly is Il misfortune that so
few OF the young men of the
country are turning their atten-
ton to what is known as prac-
teal education. If Hawaii is TO
keep pace with other countries
i'm science and the mechanic arts,
it will be forced in the future. as
it has benin the past, to draw its
leaders from other countries.
Suppose. for instance, the Gov
eminent should establish an eX-
pertinent station, what young
men are there among our college
bows whose education has fitted
them to take charge of any de-
partment and conduct 1T upon
modern scientific principles?
Mighty few, IL any. When the
planters established an expert
ment station. where did they 90
for the men to conduct it? To the
United States.
The fact of the matter is, the
young men of the country are be-
hind the times. They are not al
together TO be blamed, however,
since their attention has not been
directed TO the practical necessl-
ties of the country. The classical
education is accepted because
their fathers were educated i'll
classical" institutions. To them
there is a halo about the head OF
the classical student that chem
lists. engineers. architects do not
possess. The same idea existed
i'm the United States fifty years
ago. but it has long since been
exploded by the work of gradu-
ates from scientific colleges.

tWho died on the stage Of the Metropolitan
Opera House.)
Customary was born in France and
was well educated. 1t was reported
that he came of noble family, and
had the right to the title of Count,
which he declined to use. In early
years he took the operate stage, and
became passionately attached to his
profession. He first became known
in America In 1879 when he appeared
in French opera In New Orleans. His
next engagement was In Booths Thea

Santiago, Chile, where he lost 100,000f.

success was In the character of Meph-
istopheles, in Faust" He sang and
acted the part with great success all
over the country. He made 1t a rollick-
Ing, humorous part, and to such a per
Torrance, 1t may be remarked, he was
especially adapted.
Speaking of grand opera abroad and
in the United States, In a recent in
terview, Nine Nordica said: The as
sertIen that salaries are the same on
the Continent as In the United States
is not correct.
II is a fact that in London an artist
may be paid the same per night as he
is in New York. but nothing additional
goes with 1t. He gets no percentage
on the gross receipts or anything of
that kind.

Tour TO California via Pennsylvania Rail
road.

In Southern California is found the re-
alizalion Of dream OF the ancienis. Here
are the Golden Apples Of the Hesper-
ides, ripening beneath a sky more beau
more perfect than that of Athens. Never
in the widest flights Of his imagination
did either Homer or Ilcsod ever conceive
OF a garden richer in verdant beauty,
more productive OF luscious fruit, or set
amid more picturesque and lovely sur.
roundngs, Here the rose entwines the
orange, and the snow-mantled peaks OF
the Sierras reflect the golden glow of the
evening twilight.

In Paris he may receive as many
francs per night as he gets dollars in
New York, but the difference is readily
perceivable.
At the same time the demands upon
the artist are greater in New York and
all over the United States than on the
Continent. In Europe three or four
operas will be selected for the season
and these only will be given. In New
York a nightly change of bill is de
manded, with n matinee.
1t is true that the season is longer on
this side of the water than on the 9th
er, and herein lies the value to the ar
fist who comes here from Europe. He
has the opportunity Of making more
money than on the Continent, although
AT the same time 1t is true that his ex-
penses are much greater here. In this
way 1t may be said the great salaries
paid here are in measure eQualized

You cannot wonder, then, why opera

other occurs one month earlier than in
Scotland The explanation will without
doubt be found in the Scotch practice Of
making payments ON mortgages, inter
est annuiticS, etc, at those dates-a
practice not followed 50 extensively in
Canada.
I'm general single annual move
ment may be said to characterize agri-
cultural communities. This occurs i'll
the fall, and is due to what we have
come to call moving the crops. Its
explanation may be found i'll the fact
that farmers, as il ella, =, are not accus-
toned to make use of bank deposits, and
consequently when payments are made
to them for their crops largely at a sin
gle season Of the year, the surplus over
immediate payments is required by them
In the form Of notes-it being unques
tionably true that in any of our agrieul
tural communities i'll this country the
average farmer has III his possession
/ during the six weeks following the sale
of his crop much larger amount of
currency than during the rest Of the
year The result in the aggregate is an
extraordinary demand, such as that
which leads i'll Canada to an annual ex-
pansion Of 90 per cent in the bank cir
culation
Undoubtedly the needs for currency
in the United States change about as
much as in Canada, but the cost of buy
ing bonds at n high premium on which
notes can be issued only to 80 per cent
of their par value, the red tape neces-
sary to obtain these notes from the gov
eminent and the tax ON circulation
make delay and cost in increasing the
circulation which practically prohibit
an increase until the need for such in
crease is past Therefore interest rates
In this country run up rapidly in Au-
gust and September without appreciably
affecting the supply of currency.
In Scotland and Canada the machinery
necessary TO increase the supply of cur
reney is simple and is entirely i'll the
hands Of tho banks; hence the cost and
delay necessary are much less than with
us. Thus in Canada few big banks
with numerous branch banks" supply
all parts of the country with currency.
When more money is needed i'll any
province - as in Manitoba when the
wheat crop is being haryested-rates of
interest begin to rise, The profits of sup
plying currency i'll this province are in
creased, and Immediately additional sup
plies of currency are sent from the big
banks i'll Montreal, Quebec or Toronto
to their branch banks in Manitoba. Thus
the cost Of moving the crops is much
lower i'll Canada than in the United
States, where rates of interest go up and
down without materially changing the
supply Of currency OF course the farm
ers, through increased competition of
bidders, who obtain plenty of money at
low rates of interest and can afford to
pay high prices, reap most of the benefit
There are other advantages connected
with branch banks" which it is I'M
necessary TO explain here It's sufficient
to say that in Canada there is no silver
question to disturb business and occupy
the time of politicians and legislators
1t is not likely that we will have finan-
cial peace until we greatly improve our
banking and currency systems

These diagrams show that III Scotland
there is about 20 per cent more of cur

cent more currency in circulation in Oo-
tober than in May In the United States
there was only 6 per cent change in cir
culation during the two years 1894 and
1895, and the most of this change is ac-
counted for not by the changing needs
for currency Mt different periods of the

bonds, which made it convenient for
banks to increase their circulation. Mr..
Root thus explains the changes in Can

Secretary of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
In my judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack of elasticity. 80 The demand for
money, in this country, is 80 irregular
that an amount of circulation which
will be ample during ten months Of the
year will frequently prove so deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster.
The crops Of tho country have reached
proportions SO immense that their move
ment to market, in August and Septem
Der, annually causes dangerous alb
sorption of money. The lack of n suffi-
cient supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interest. p"
How hard and inelastic is our present
unscientific currency system, or lack of
system, is apparent when "A comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In a pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currency committee
of the Reform club Mr. l.. Carroll Root
illustrates the relative elasticity of 20
different banking systems in l6 different
countries. He says:
The data secured includes weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank currency
systems of the world. The period COW
cred in each case is the two years 1894
and 1898. The method Of preparation
of diagrams has been to take the mini
mum circulation of the period as base
line and to reduce the amounts on other
dates to percentages of this In this way
common measure has been secured,
