Australian Sign Language.

Mr.. w. e. Roth has recently pub
lished the results of his studies among
the native inhabitants of the north
western part of central Queensland, IN
Australia. His most interesting dis
covery is that of the existence OF q
sign language, expressed by means OF
the hands, and capable Of conveying
complex as well as simple ideas Mr.
Roth gives illustrations of 213 Of the
manual signs employed in this Ian
guage, which is used throughout tne
region studied by him. Cannibalism,
he says, still prevails among some OF
the Australian tribes.

A Dry Niagara.

A few miles southeast of Syracuse,
N. Y, in cavity whose bottom is 22O
feet below the surface of the adjacent
upland, lies GAINESVILLE Lake, a body
of water 500 feet in diameter and sixty
feet in depth. Eastward from the lake
extends gorge through which flows
Butternut creek. Prof. Quereau OF
Syracuse says that in former times
river flowed here and that GAINESVILLE
Lac is the pool that was formed un-
der a great waterfall. Steep cliffs rise
around it on three sides, and call fea-
lures of dry Niagara are here dis
closed in great detail"

General Ray Stone, national road
commissioner, figures that there are
100000 miles of public roads in the
United States, over which 100000, 900
tons of freight is hauled every year.
Putting the average haul at eight miles
he figures the cost of carting at So the
ton, or oOOOOO,OOO the year. With
uniformly good roads the cost of NOV
ing this freight would be only $500 ,OGO,-
0O0 saving S6OO,0OO,OOO to the public
annually. This is equivalent to the
yearly interest on 10000, 900, 900 of 8
per cent government bonds. one-haIf
of this vast sum, he claims, would re-
build every mile of road in the United
States at an average cost of. say, 50, 1855
per mile, and the other half would fur
nish a yearly income of 5000 per mile
for their repair and maintenance. At
present the people spend the sum of
$4,000 900 each year in the repairing
OF worthless roads. This sum would
build 1900 miles of thoroughly good
macadam road, sufficiently wide for
rural purposes.

1t is not exactly true, as Havana
paper says. that Gen. Lee left Havana
because he was too cowardly to remain
longer, but ne might have been appre-
hensive, The Spanish character turns
to assassination as baby to the moth
or milk. and the more helpless a man
Is the more vindictive the Spaniards
are. Cen, Lee was doubtless prudent.
He wanted, quite naturally, to come
home alive. We don't blame him a
bit. Why should he have remained in
Havana to be killed?

The outlook for the summer girl Of
1898 is gloomy. An exodus OF men has
begun. The gold fields Of the Klondike
are attracting the adventurous and the
hardy. They go for the sake of gold.
The southeastern coast of the United
States is swarming with soldiers who
are eager TO get into Cuba. The sum
mer girl is left alone. It seems likely
that she will enjoy her ribbons and
laces and pretty draperies in solitude
this year.

If Cuba is released from Spanish
rule, her future will depend upon the
capacity of the people for self-govern-
ment. After the withdrawal of the
Spanish garrison there will be a scram-
BILE for the Offices and a struggle for
the control of the administration of the
island. The rebels in arms who have
been fighting for three years for the
independence of the island will consid-
err themselves the rightful governing
class. The autonomists, who have been
agitating for many years the question
of home rule, will demand a share in
the responsibilities of power, The
Spanish element, from which the vol
unteer force is recruited, will insist
upon being represented in the new gov
eminent. The jeaiousies and strife OF
these factions will make the establish
ment Of a stable, trustworthy govern.
ment in Cuba a most difficult under.
taking. This is characteristic OF most
Of the governments in Spanish Ameri-
ca. In one country after another therS
have been revolutions, political feudA,
military conspiracies and constant tUs-
moil 1t is not likely that Cuba, il Int
to herself, Will be an exception to the
rule. Yet meddling with politics In
that country, after the war is over,
would mean certain death to any 30
iitical party in the United States. gnSe

A Suggestion for Electric snDw,,.

Ice is an almost perfect non-oon6ac.
TOR OF electricity. Elthu Thomson sug.
gests the use of a pipe Of metal ~
an electric conductor. It is to be i'm.
mersed in a subway kept filled with
water and through it cold brine from
freezing machine is to circulate. This
would freeze the water in contact with
the pipe, thereby insulating it. The
brine could be used in supplying artl.
fetal cold to refrigerators in stores
markets, or even in private houses
The simplicity of the project and the
complete dispensing with ordinary in
sulation are very striking.

Flour and the Y Rays.

The x rays are showing us many In
teresting things, among them the. dit
ference in the qualities of pure and
adulterated foods, and how to detect
fraud in food products. The latest ex-
periments are in the examination OF
flour. The ingredients ordinarily en-
ployed for this purpose are very fine
sand, which is put in to make the
weight, and chalk for the same purpose
and to add to the bulk. The method
of detecting the adulteratioh is inter
esting and ingenious. Tiny boxes
with small compartments without bot
tom or top are placed On photograph
plate, then these compartments are
filed with various grades Of flour, one
or more of which are absolutely pure.
Then the box is lifted with the x rays
turned on the plate. The mineral
matter is more or less opaque, while
the purely vegetable matter allows the
light to filter through in a soft, al
most even, cloud. By noting the vari-
GUS gradations of color produced by
these rays, it is possible to detect with
the utmost nicely the amount Of for
eign matter which each sample con-
tains,

which consist of useless noxious gases
and carbonize the mass. Heretofore
this has been accomplished by fur
naces especially constructed for the
purpose, but now M. P. Jebsea has
devised a method Of accomplishing this
result by means of electricity.
Upon wooden frame mounted upon
rollers are arranged three swinging
retorts, supported on centers as indi-
Gated in the cut. The left retort shows
the internal arrangement; the middle
one shows an end view with the cover
removed; the third shows the retOrt
being discharged. The retorts ars
lined with asbestos or other con-
ductor of electricity and heat, which
is wound spirally with an iron wire.
Another winding is imbedded in as
bestos surrounding the core. These
wires form suitable resistances for de-
veloping heat from the electricity
traVersing the conductors, through the
terminals, which are connected at the
aXles. Vents are established by
means of stopcocks, through which
moisture and gas are permitted to es-
cape. The turf or peat is thus heated
uniformly and thoroughly as well as
more exactly than by the method for
merly employed, thus saving destruc-
tive burning and insuring a saving OF
ten to twenty minutes besides.

the room there were baskets of magnff-

covered with a bed of night blooming
cereus in full bloom, With MALE and

In each of the rooms there was the
same prOfusiOn of cOlOrs. In the hall,
through which the assemblage was
constantly passing TO the dining room
and the lanai, there were palms and
lilies and asters. The reception room.
the library, the fernery, each were
beautiful in appearance.
Supper was served in the dining
room and a large tent on the lawn, the
entrance TO which was from the YER
anda leading TO the dining room. The
tent was brilliantly lighted with chan
deliers of electric lamps. About the
sides were National flags. gracefully
hung The supporting posts were en-
twined with artificial flowers, palms
were at the entrance and in the cor

last Tuesday and reached Makena,
Maui, at II a. m. Wednesday. Repairs
had been made to the Labrador by
Alex Lyle. The schooner was hauled

became mixed in his dates somehow
about 11:15 last night. A loaded car
from Kalihi and two empty cars from
Waikiki met right in front of the Ga
zette office. The drivers exchanged
courtesies in mild, lady-like terms.
There was a wait of ten minutes with
a few thousand suggestions from the
pa rsengers. Then the men on the
empty cars, swearing to themselves,
if at all, headed their teams for the
switch in front of the Executive
