THEY DRINK OLAA COFFEE.
AN HAWAIIAN LUXURY FOR RED
CROSS PATIENTS.
Contributions of Olaa Planters Duly
Appreciated in San Francisco-Phil-
ip Peck's Explanatory Letter

Mention was made in The Star some
time since of a donation of Hawaiian
coffee sent to the San Francisco Red
Cross Society. That the gift was duly
appreciated will be seen from the fol-
lowing, taken from The Call:
From distant Hawaii comes the
cheerful news that no pounds of cot.
fee has been shipped to the Red Cross
Society, which proves that the grand
work performed by that organization
is recognized by the people residing
in the lately acquired territory"
Mrs. w. b. Harrington, president
of the California State Society, receiv-
ed the following letter from Philip
Peck in connection with the gift.
Olaa, Hawaii, June 80. 1898.
Mrs: w. b. Harrington, President Red
Cross Society, San Francisco, Cali,
L. S. A.
Dear Madam: Herewith please find
bill of lading for seven bags. contain
ing no pounds of green coffee grown
in the District of Olaa. Island of Ha-
wall, and shipped per bark Annie
johnson, 10 sail on or about the 25th
inst. In order to save expense of con-
this has been shipped to Messrs. Mi
chalitschke Brothers & Co., 239 Kear-
ny street who will deliver it to YOU
free of all expense.
As I read of the noble work being
done by your society I conceived the
idea that our coffee planters would be
happy to give their mite for the cause
and I must confess that | was sur
prised at the readiness with which
nearly all responded, irrespective of
nationality, including native Hawa-
iians.
Permit me to explain that this was
virtually the first coffee picked in this
district, and from young trees. conse-
quently we have had but a small crop,
most of which has been sold or shipp-
ed; thus some gave from what they
had retained for their own use, while
others bought or borrowed from their
neighbors who had yet some coffee
on hand
Facilities for drying, etc, are yet
very primitive. and for purposes of
hulling and cleaning the coffee shipp-
ed to you, it had to be hauled to Hifo
which, as well as the cleaning, was
done gratuitously.
/ also send by Captain Matson Of
the Annie Johnson a little coffee in
the parchment, so the ladies of your
society may see how coffee looks be-
fore being cleaned.
God bless the Red Cross Society.
Respectfully,
p. PECK.

EDISON WON'T TALK

Mr.. Edison has peristently refus-
ed to register his voice upon pho
nograph cylinder for repetition," ac-
cording to an anecdotal biography of
Inventor Edison in the Ladies' Home
journal. ITO some friends who urg-
ed him to talk into one of these ma
chimes he gave his reason: 1t would
make me sick with disgust to see pla-
Gated on monographs everywhere L
turn: Drop nickle in the slot and
hear Edison talk" No, no; none of
that for me- The tone of voice in
which he stated his objection made it
clearly apparent that he could Meth
er be coaXed nor dragged into grant
ing the request, even though he has
had an offer of $4,000 for a five min
utes talk. In perfecting the phono-
graph, he has, of course, been oblig-
ed to talk into the machine frequent
ly, but the cylinder is always scraped
so that his voice cannot be reproduce
ed. To one close friend. however, he
reluctantly gave a cylinder record
ing few of his words, and to a
young man who particularly interest
ed him he gave another, on which is
recorded his favorite story. These
are the only two in existence"

THE SURPRISES OF SCIENCE,

Mr.. Szczepanik is a gentleman who
deserves attention and who presum-
ably will get it, says Edgar Saltus in
Golfers Weekly. He has invented an
instrument the principal of which is
similar to that of the telephone, with
but the difference, however, that it is
not for the ear, but for the eye. 1t
is called the fernscher, which, being
translated, means farlooker. 1t en-
ables one to see around the corner.
Editors of the local press won't need
it. They are sufficiently omniscient
as it is. But the chiefs in the war de-
partment may. 1t is a pleasure and
a duty to signal it to them. Charles
Windsor is another gentleman who
deserves attention. He is also an in
ventor. He has discovered and pat
ented device whereby bicycles tires
become self-infating. The rider has
but to turn screw, hop on, ride off:
the action of the wheel does the rest.
Mr.. Szczepanill is an Austrian sub
iect. Mr. Windsor is an Englishman.
The invention of the first may add
new terrors to private life, but the in
vention of the second will render es-
cape delightfully."- expeditions.
