SPANISH HONOR.
War, While Costly, Might Prove q Con
VenIent SAVIOR

War, While Costly, Might Prove q Con-
VenIent Savior
HAVANA, Oct. 22.-"La Lucha," in an
energetic editorial entitled War Is
Convenient for SPAIN" says
THE sensational American press is
renewing the campaign in favor of
American Intervention, which, it says.
will meet the approval of congress.
Rather than that we should continue
enduring this sort of thing, it is pre-
ferable that our American friends
should decide to interfere. Spain has
nothing to lose. Her case is the same
as that of poor man suing a rich one.
The rich man is always the loser.
Moreover, if Spain were to go to war
with the American Union it would be
proof positive that in our national
character there still exists the tradi-
tional Spanish honor, which we would
defend even more carefully than our
lives"

Tests Reveal Its Presence in the Kansas
Agricultural College Herd.
MANHATTAN, Kas., Oct. 22.-Tuber-
culosis in an advanced stage has been
found to exist in a herd of cattle
owned by the Kansas state agricul-
tural college. Official tests were made
at the college grounds here under the
supervision of DIR. Law, of Cornell
university; DIR. F. A. Geddis, from
the bureau of animal industry
at Washington, and Professors Fisher
and Cottrell, of the Agricultural col
lege. Eight animals were killed for
the purpose, and in each the disease
was found to exist. The disease, it is
said, is known to have been in the herd
for years, and the old management OF
the college has been condemned for
not taking action.

SATURDAYS FUN

ranged by Committee.
Program of lS Contests Notes on
the Days DOings and Other
Interesting Items.

On Saturday next will occur the sec
ond annual Regatta Day. AT that
time all business throughout the city
will be suspended and the day given
over to recreation. The principal thing
on the program will be the regatta
events, gotten up for the express pur-
pose of entertaining the public, and it
is to be hoped that every one will be
present somewhere along the water
front to lend encouragement.
For the purpose of arranging the
days program and deciding on points
in connection with the regatta events,
the committee held a meeting last
night. The program, as agreed upon,
with the prizes and rules governing
the events, will be found in an adver-
tisement published in this mornings
paper.
There are to be IS events in all, or
an increase of three over last years
regatta. Something never attempted
here before will be the Chinese and
Japanese fishing boat races.
The first race will occur at $50 a.
M, and it is expected that everything

sion of about an hour will be taken for
luncheon. Each event will have set
time, these to be published in the Off
cial program, now in the hands of
William Smithies.
Entries will close at the Pacific
Hardware Company at 1 p. m. on
Thursday, September 10th. No en-
trance fees will be charged, as the
public is paying for the days sports.
The committee in charge of sub
scriptions is composed of Captain
Campbell and Tom King. These men
will soon be around to see what peo-
pie can give toward the events of the
day, and it is hoped that they will be
met with hearty support.
The committee in charge of all the
arrangements is composed of Charles
B. Gray, Cupid Kalanianaole and c. S.
Crane.
The same officers who served in the
cham pionship races at Pearl Harbor
last year will be asked to serve. Ex-
cellent satisfaction has been given by
them
The wharves will be arranged for
the public as they were last year, and
the boat clubs will keep open house to
their friends.
AS yet the band has not been asked
for, but it is certain that the day, being
a public holiday, will be sufficient to
cause the powers that be to grant its

Narrow escapes seem to be quite the
thing just now. John Andrade of the
113 stand was the latest victim, but
he has bobbed up serenely again in
good form. Early Sunday evening John
drove to the stand as usual, turned his
hack around in line and jumped out.
Then he started back again to get his
pipe out of the front seat. The horse
evidently thought he was off for load
and made a sharp turn, throwing the
vehicle over and pinioning John I'M
derneath. officer Espinda was on
hand and helped to get the driver out.
The horse was thrown down while
this was going on and the hack was
smashed in several places. The extent
of the damage to John was a pair of
badly-tOrn trousers.

History on a Watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer, Houzeau, recently deceased
was an article in which, while arguing
in favor Of decimal division of time.
he pointed out the origin of the double
set of twelve hours represented on our
watch and clock faces. The ancient
inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the
number twelve as an arithmetical base
because it has four divisors, viz, two
three, four and six, while ten has only
two divisors, viz, two and five. They
counted twelve hours in the day and
twelve in the night, measuring the day
by the progress of the sun, and the
night by the progress of: the stars
across the sky. This system, prevail.
ing over all others, has come down to
u.s.. and SO our watches bear on their
;,facessa souvenir of those ancient days
when the sun served for clock hand

Ideas. Is
Living or Dead?

A young man went to see Madame
Tussaud's famous exhibition of wax.
work figures in London. AS soon as
he got in he saw a poor, pinched, hun
CRY looking man in corner, and,
thinking it was beggar he went near
and put penny in it's outstretched
hand. From the laughter Of the other
visitors he soon found out his mistake.
The poor beggar was a wax figure. He
made up his mind not to be taken in
again. He went into the large hall,
and right at the end was the figure OF
man by itself. When he got close ur
to it he stood still to have a good look.
Then he walked round it, touched it
and marvelled how wax could be made
SO lifelike. Presently there was a
broad grin on the face of this figure,
and the terrified country man hurried
out of the room, saying it was impos-
sible to tell dead people from the liv.
ing, or the living from the dead.

Loss Of sleep.

B..
In a paper by Professor H. G. Warren
of Princeton University there are ac-
curately described some experiments
on the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Professor Patrick and DR..
Gilbert of the University of Iowa.
These gentlemen tested three normal
subjects, composed of instructors, men
not easily susceptible to influences.
They were kept awake ninety hours
without stimulants. During this time
they were engaged, as far as possible,
in their usual occupations. After the
second night, the first subject COM
planned that the floor was covered with
a greasy-looking molecular layer of
rapidly moving particles. They rem
dered him nearly desperate. Some
times the layer seemed foot above
the floor, and parallel with it. AS he
tried to step upon it he staggered and
tumbled, could not obtain sure foot
ing. Later the air became full of
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. He
frequently climbed into a chair to brush
them away from the gas jet. The ap-
pearancc Of all these men was the
same as if an overdose of liquor had
been administered. Those who have
lost their normal rest for several nights
feel a lassitude and depressing interest
in life. They seem to lose an equita-
Bile Judgment Of things. Events seem
out Of proportion. y

any one had come to it was to take the

and piece the prints together into a

raphy the Crookes tube is about a foot
from the film or plate, with the object
between. But in making photograph

further of. The law in skiagraphy IS
that "the intensity Of the x ray dimin-

film stretched upon board lying upon
the floor, covered with three layers Of
black paper to exclude daylight. Upon
this the subject, completely clothed,
was laid. -Four and half feet above
the floor an especially constructed
Crookes tube was suspended midway
between the head and feet. After halt

outline of the spine, the heart, stom-
ach cavity, and collar bone may be
distinguished. The bones OF. the four
limbs and of the feet and hands stand

are dark. The nails of the shoes are
easily recognized. The figure stands
