PRODUCTS OF HAWAII.
All Sorts of Food at Hand for Luxuriou
Living.

hhN"E'
Besides sugar and rice. the staple
products: coffee, bananas. oranges and
other fruits are largely grown. Food
products are abundant, especially OF
the kind suitable to hot climate, says
Paradise of the Pacific.
The native food consists largely of
the taro plant of which the best varie-
ties are grown in the shallow ponds of
fresh water. From this plant is made
the poi. which Is the ordinary food OF
the Kanaka.
The sweet potato grows even among
the rocks and fiourlshes abundantly In
good soil, while the common potato
sometimes grows well, though 1t Is OF
ten injured by worms.
The quality of the coffee raised Is
equal to the choicest.
The climate is also very. favorable to
the growth of the long staple sea
island cotton; but as this variety must
be picked by hand the high price OF
labor in the islands renders Its culture
Improbable.
Tropical fruits of nearly all kinds
grow in the richest abundance-the or
angc. lemon, lime, mango. pineapple,
hrimoya, or custard apple. the ALI
gator pear. pomegranate and guava, all
OF which are exotic.
The banana Is Indigenous, and Is the
most abundant of all fruits: besides II
there are the CHA apple-a fruit pc
culiar to the Pacific islands, soft,
juicy and mildly acld-many variety or
palms, the choicest trees of India. the
caoutchouc. the papaya. the travellers
tree of Madagascar and other foreign
plants.

water Scoop. for Rn,lwny..

Railways have for long time made use
or water scoops. let down Into trouIhs set
without stopping trains. Such devices, 1t
u claimed, have never been entirely satis-
factory because water could not be taken
IN this wny without running slowly. If the
speed were. too great It became Impossible
to lift the scoop from the water. and In con
sequence IL was smashed against the end Of
the trough. The Pennsylvania railroad has
since the middle of 1891 adopted as standard
device, In which IL is claimed the power
required to lift the dlpper from the water
train.
This result. to speak generally. is arrived
at by balancing the lower curved portion Of
the dlppcr near Its center on trunnions
about which u turns within limits. .Thc

The force cr impact of water on the lower
hnlf OF dipper tends to hold II down, while
the siniilnr force acting on the upper half
tends to lift it. 1t Is stated that these
forces practically balance each other. and
that trains have. with this device. taken
water at n speed OF seventy miles per hour,
Milling 1000 gallon tender In nine seconds.
The advantages claimed easy manipu.
lation and no lost time. less water wasted
by being splashed out Of trough, and more

can therefore he shorter and cost less for

COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.

viii he Extinct.

The Day Not Far Distant When They
Will he Extinct.
From the Denver Republican,: Noun
tain sheep appepar to be increasing
In Colorado, and. stranger still, the
rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunts among the high
mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the habitations OF man than ever be-
fore. In the comparatively low lands,
near the town OF Jefferson, there Is now
flock OF fifty or more mountain sheep.
jefferson is on the South Park railroad,
about eighty-on miles southwest OF
Denver, iE Park county. 1t is an old
fashioned community. and has near 1t
the well-known summer resort. Jeffer-
son Lake. The vicinity, disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as the
sounds of human life and Industry, Is
not at all a quiet one. 1t has none OF
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home OF the almost extinct
mountain sheep. And yet for several
days past, a band OF at least hrty OF
the soft-eyed, large-horned native sheep
OF the Rocky Mountains has been caim-
ly grazing around the town OF Jener-
son and close to the railroads. II Is
said that the sheep do not display any
sign Of fear of the Jefferson people.
Many of them come in open daylight
within easy pistol shot OF the resi-
dences. They do not run away unless
somebody purposely tries to frighteh
them. For many years past the sight
of mountain sheep has been rarity
in Colorado, and usually but one at q
time has been seen. A hunter far OIL
from civilization might descry soil
tary sheep perched on crag overlook
| ing some wild and steep canyon, but
hardly ever within gunshot range. No
such thing as fifty sheep together has
been reported. even by the veriest
Munchausen OF hunters. When lone
sheep was seen it usually disappeared
from view at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the descent
OF fifty sheep upon the town OF Jef1er-
son. as though they had formed them
selves into an excursion party some
where among the mountains, does not
look reasonably explainable. The gen
eral theory is that bitter cold and deep
SHOWS in the higher attitudes drove
them downward. and that they Joined
together for mutual protection as they
travelled from peak to peak. Killing
mountain sheep is absolutely prohib-
tied by law in Colorado. 1t Is closed
season all the year round with the ami
mails. just as 1t is with buffalo.
