l.. \. Thurston made himself al

eighteen months of the hardest kind

situation. Well, there will be no
change whatever until Congress meets
and probably very little then. You
see, Congress does not meet till De-
cember, then there is the Christmas
vacation of two or three weeks. and
after that the main appropriation
bills will have precedence. The main
question of annexation having been
settled, | am inclined to believe that
subsequent legislation on Hawaii will
be slow. If the present Congress ex-
tends its customs, postal and shipping

pires by limitation on the 4th of next

PREFERRED IN SAN FRANCICO
FOR STREET SPRINKLING.
Exhaustive Report on the Virtues of
Salt Water by Professor Price to
Merchants Association.

The Merchants Association of San
Francisco, which by special arrange
ment with the Board of Supervisors.
has had for some years past entire
charge of the sprinkling and sweep
ing of the street in the business por-
ton of the city, has recently had pre-
sented to it by Professor Price, the
eminent chemist, a report upon the
effects of water from the ocean upon
pavements and upon the general
health of the community, which may
be of value to those having authority
over the same work in Honolulu.
The following conclusions may be
summarized from Professor Prices
report
First-Water has no harmful effect
upon bituminous rock pavement that
is properly prepared and well laid.
Second-There is no substantial diff
ference in the effect of fresh or salt
water upon any bituminous pave
ment.
Third-Water has an injurious eff
feet upon bituminous pavements
where the bituminous rock is not well
mixed or the pavement is not sub
jected to sufficient pressure.
Fourth-In sanitary point of view
fresh water is inferior to salt water
for street sprinkling.
Fifth-Salt water is more economi-
cal than fresh water, as less sprink-
ling will be required.
SiXth-The use of salt water for
street sprinkling will not result In
injury to clothing or merchandise in
stores.

AFRICA'S ANCIENT SEA.

Recent studies of the animal life of
Lake Tanganyika have shown that
that lake differs from all other Afric-
an lakes in possessing inhabitants
that belong to the oceanic species.
Still, these singular denizens of Lake
Ianganyika are not exactly like the
marine organisms of the present day.
and the conclusion is drawn that n

where Tanganyika now lies and that
the lake is the last remnant of the
