Holy Scriptures in Hawaiian show this
Despite the fact that the history and the
doctrine therein contained were absolute
ly beyond the line of island experience, it
has been found possible 10 express them
perfectly in the native tongue with only
a few more words adapted from foreign
sources; in fact, there are fewer than
per cent of naturalized words in the
Hawaiian.

ties. The Poynesian tongue OF which it

tent of the Pacific as far south as New

the Easter Island of the colossal cary

STEAM ON THE FARM.
A Digging Machine That VIII Work
Great Changes.
(From the London Telegraph

(From the London Telegraph
After twenty years experimenting, Mr.
T. c. Darby has invented digger which
is likely to prove very useful, judging
from the comments of large number of
farmers who saw it at work the other day
on Mr.. Moss's farm, Kelvedon, Essex
The Darby revolving digger. as the new
machine is called, can go into any kind
of ground, and not long ago dug up some
derelict land through which six horses
could not draw an ordinary single-shear
plow. While a man with three-horse
plow can only turn over an acre of land
day, the digger will do from four to
six acres. The best time to turn over the
soil is Immediately after the harvest, but
then every farmer has all his horses en-
ployed. If this appliance were available
by hire in the neighborhood, the land
could be dug up and lert for aeration.
Not infrequently the three operations of
The evening times., 1898-09-08

removing the sheavss of corn, cleaning,
and digging are carried on at the same
time In the same field in Essex, thanks to
this ingenious contripance 1t is in shape
fiat triangle, of about two tons weight,
and is attached by means of side coup
lings to the axle of traction engine of
six or eight horsepower, There are on
each of two under sides of the triangle
hVe double diggers or tines, which are
MADE 70 reVolve by series of cog-wheeis
The tines cut into the ground down to
any depth, from two or three inches to
eighteen inches. But the earth is broken
up, not thrown over as in the case of
the ordinary plow. The weeds are left ly-
ing on the top of the soil, and in the
course of fortnight or so are completely
decomposed.
The cost OF turning over an acre of land
by digger is estimated at IOs., If the
farmer owns the machine, OF lSs If he
has to hire 1t. About three hundred
weight Of good steam COAL averaging 1Ss
ton are consumed in digging up an acre
of ground. The machine is made in two
sizes, one to dig width of eight feet six
inches at once. and the larger size for
eleven feet. The smaller machine costs
about ESQ., and the traction engine about
i3OO. This outlay, 1t is estimated, is re-
paid In two years on a farm of 1000
acres, for the engine can be used in a
variety of other ways-for driving a
thrashing machine, chaff cutter, mangel
cutter, etc.
Mr.. w. ]. Moss, who has been using
one Of the diggers during last year, yes
terday showed several crops raised at
| Kelvedon on ground dug by the new ma
chine and not manured. and several sown
| in ground ploughed in the ordinary way
| and heavily manured The difference in
| the crops was most marked, even to the
| unnitiated. In the first case the straw
| was tall, some six inches above the ordi-
nary height, strong, and the yield OF
! corn was estimated at seven quarters to
| the acre. Despite the rough weather ex'
perienced during the past few days, the
| corn was erect and not beaten down. as
might have been expected. In the second
| case the straw was. comparatively speak

HAWAIIAN Sc EECH.
VoweIs Run Riot. But Consonents

From the New York SUM-

{From the New York SUM-
Along with territory and a few other
things at what has been called the cross
roads of the Pacific, the United States
have annexed new language and a
somewhat considerable literature owned
their race. The Hawaiian is not diff
cult or Grabbed speech. 1t is soft and
musical, most of the white people now
In Hawaii speak 1t more or less fully,
and it offers no great difficulty to the
others who may be expected to I'LL up
the new domain. ri
Its most prominent characteristic is the
great use of vowels. Besides the five
vowels 1t needs only seven consonants to
make up the alphabet, and the one hard
and fast rule of the grammar is that two
consonants shall never come together and
that no word or syllable shall end with
other than a vowel. On the other hand,
vowels may string along in indefinite sue
cession. The speech abounds with whole
words which have not a single conson-
ant to hold them together. Two vowels
stand side by side in majority of words.
The opportunity to triplicate the vowel
has not been neglected.; word has been
formed of every such combination. Thus
"aaa'' means friendly, "eee" is the verb
to rise up. ''iii'' is little, 900" means to
shrink and "uuu" means to stammer.
Four vowels together form many words
as "aaua," a crone or hag with wrinkles
under the eyes Some few words consist
of as many as five vowels one after the
other. such as 'iiaao," which is the name
for poi when it is hard and musty, or
"oiaio," the word meaning true.
The language is highly developed In
grammar and rhetoric, developed by the
savage Hawaiians up to the limits OF
their needs and containing the elements
of still further development. The proof
| of that NAV be found in the books which

General Corbin refused to discuss the
matter at all this morning. He said he
was perfectly willing 10 give out news
but nothing about sensational charges

As a matter of fact the officials are
stirred up over the reports from Camp
Nikoff and many of them are on the anx-
ious bench this morning. The cause OF

his way when aroused.

New York, Sept S-The First Illinois
Regiment arrived in Long Island City at
BIS this morning. on their way TO Wee
hawken to take passage west. The men
were in a very bad shape owing to the
DELAYS attending their departure from
Montauk Point and a series of blunders
which caused much suffering.
The regiment marched out Of camp at
6:30 O'Clock yesterday morning, the sick
being carried in ambulances and the con-
valescents struggling along In the rear.
Forty other sick men were waiting Tor

Finally il was arranged TO send the sick

The men were duly embarked, but the
storm compelled the steamer to put back
and late last night the soldiers were dis
patched TO Long Island City on trains
During the entire day these sick and
weary men were exposed TO the broiling
heat without food or water. There were
sick men everywhere, suffering from heat
and exhaustion
These sick men and convalescents were
on the road all night, and they suffered
intensely because of tne inadequate ac-
commodations and lack Of proper supplies
and attendance.
Col Turner is indignant al the treat
ment received by his regiment. IL was,
on the whole, n repetition of the bunglng
displayed when the Eighth Ohio was NOV

port the Illinois regiment to Long Island
City, a distance Of l6 miles. The regiment
might have been at the camp yet but for
a threat by Col Turner to seize train.

ence, Col. Turner said this morning:
"At the station ] was informed that we
could not get trains until morning ] said

tendent shrugged his shoulders and re-
piled that it was impossible.
Il then teIegraphed TO the main office
OF the railroad al Long Island City that
wanted those cars got ready for my
regiment; that if they were not in an
hour ] would send two companies TO take
them. And / meant IL
That brought them to their senses"
In Long Island City this morning, many
of the sick men had TO be carried to the
emergency hospital on litters. Six of the
men were in a state of collapse and will
