NO MORE UNKNOWN. "

President Cooper of the Board OF
Health has made most important
move, for which he deserves great
credit. He has given instructions that
any person applying for a burial per-
init without producing a certificate Of
death from a properly licensed physi-
clan, shall at once be sent to the mar
shall. And further. in his capacity of
Attorney he has given in
structiOns to the Marshal, that in such
cases immediate investigation should
be made, which of course, will result in
either an autopsy or in a corOner's jury.
This should wipe off from the NOR
tuary statistics of the Board of Health
the expression, cause of death "un-
known" which to the number of forty
one, figured in the tables for the first
four months of 1899. If we find death
now placed as unknown" we will be
satisfied that there is something eyre
giously wrong about it. For it Will
have bafied the vigilance of the police
will have been unable to discover cause
from an autopsy, which is just prob
able, but is hardly possible.
This move will be a death blow 10
much kahunaism, for the cases where
the ignorant and superstitious have
trusted to these illegal practices will he
brought to light, and it will become
dangerous to practice as a kahuna
Cases of neglect will also become much
more rare, because people who wilfully
or carelessly neglect their children will
be publicly exposed, and public expos
ure for wrong doing is a very Statutory
thing 1t will also have its effect upon
secret crime. Who can say how many
crimes We're covered under the state
ment of the first four months of this
year causes of deaths, unknown, for
ty-one."
The remedy seems so simple that it is
almost absurd Yet it has taken near
on to twenty years for the remedy to
be applied. The old files of the Gazette
will show how strenuously the present
writer urged the matter, many years
ago. 1t is a satisfaction to see that
presistently exposing the blot upon the
Board of Health records, has brought
about the desired contamination. The
duties of the Agent of the Board OF
Health are now made clear, the respo1.
sibility for holding the inquest is clear
If all officials do their duty, victory
has been won, which will have a dis
tinct influence upon the death stats
tics and will probably assist in saving
the lives of children which are now lost
through carelessness.

FOR CAREFUL THOUGHT.

couple of days ago The Star was
reviewing the fact that the Islands
owned themselves; that the prosperity
of the Islands was peculiar in that they
had been developed not from without,
but from within; that our new enter
prises had been started from the earn
ings of the earlier enterprises, and that
the results have been peculiar i'm COM
mercial history and have excited the
establishment of visitors, who have
made themselves familiar with our
commercial system.

The scientific journals are attacking
Tripler upon his claims for liquid air
The line of argument used is identical
with that put forward in these columns
by Rev. S. E. Bishop, which appeared
some time before the scientific journals
on the mainland commenced their cam
paign. The strongest attack comes
from President Henry Morton of the
Stevens Institute of Technology. He
subjects Mr.. Tripler's claim to mathe-
NAUTICAL analysis and knocks it to
pieces. Yet everyone gives credit to
Mr.. Tripler credit for his work in pro-
ducing liquid air in large quantities by
simple apparatus, but his claims to pro-
ducing power indefinitely are regarded
as impossible statements to be placed
alongside the dreams of perpetual mo-
ton.

New plantations still continue to be
located and old ones enlarged. The
proposal to start plantation in South
Kona is not a new scheme entirely. It
was considered nearly ten years ago
hut the land Of Honaunau was then I'M
der lease. This land is probably the
finest in all Kona, and would give ar
immense yield if properly cultivated.
The Wahiawa scheme with the addi-
tion of Eleele will give a large planJa-
ton which has an almost unlimited
supply of water. Evidently the awaK-
ening of Kauai is coming on. Up to the
present it has been very conservative.

WILL THE EARTH COME
TO AN END MONDAY?
Professor Rudolph Fab the Great Scientist Vienna the Man Who Predicted
the Big Earthquakes and Storms, Says the Comet of
1866 Will Strike Us Tomorrow

of Professor Falb's predictions will be
carried cut in the same manner, for one
does not like to think of the end of the
Old earth going 10 smash and in the man.
ner that the Austrian astronomer mas
predicted. He is of the opinion that the
meteoric display that IS 10 occur on NO
vember 10 and H. Is nothing more than
the appearance of the army OF meteors
that accompany the Biela's comet. In
stead of passing by US in grand array the
comet itself will collide with the earth
and on this occasion. by a mixture OF the
gases OF the comet and the earth. a IL
quid vii result that will be similar 10
benzine or petroleum and IL Will be the
province Of this liquid TO first soak and
then burn the earth and everything upon
it.
Unpleasant as such a prophecy may
seem there is some comfort in the
thought that this is not the first time
that this comet has been expected 70
bring the earth to an untimely end. Years
ago il was predicted that IT was to come
into collision with the earth and there
were those who were so foolish as to pre-
pare for the general destruction.
HISTORY OF THE COMET.
So far as we are concerned the history
OF this comet dates back 10 February q,
1896. when NJ Biea, an astronomer work
ing in Bohemia, discovered faint comet
whose orbit or path around the sun was
calculated TO take about six and three
quarters years. Early in 1873 attention

into contact with the comet that Is known
TO astronomers as the comet Of 1896 with
he result that our planet will be partially
IL not entirely destroyed"
Such was the prediction that has maze
MANY timid persons shudder with uiead
for they have remembered that Professor
Fab had made predictions that had oeeh
fulfilled. For instance several days pc
fore the great earthquake al Zante IN
March. 1893. he sent warnings 10 the press
in all parts of Europe and even went so
far as to postpone an engagement 20 lec-
ture in that vicinity, saying that he pre-
ferred 10 speak Of the results OF the
earthauake after It had occurred ratncr
than be subjected to its unpleasant lea
lures.
ON SCHEDULE TINE.
The earthquake came as Professor FAD
predicted and when January ana feo-
ruarv were conspicuous for their cold ana
the papers of March contained details OF
earthquakes more than one person began
to believe that the end Of this globe as an
inhabitable planet was actually III proS-
meet. Up 10 the present time, however
this has been the limit Of the professor
prediction. There were no tidal waves III
July and August, the coast OF America Is
still intact, and neither Florida nor Ca'-
fornia has yet become an Island
AS the result one has some reason 10
hope that the most uncomfortable part

was called to the fact that this comet
was soon 10 pass within 10000 miles Of the
earth's orbit, but that as the earth did
not meet that particular spot until one
month after the comet had passed the in
habitants of this globe need feel no APP
prehension.
At this time there were no prophets Of
evil among the learned men. Astrono-
mers and scientists generally were per-
fectly satisfied that there was no cause
for alarm, but, in spite Of all this, gem
eral panic ensued.
OF course IL was shown that the as
tronomers were correct and nothing more
was heard of the comet until July, 1899.
when it was billed TO return again. This
time, however, ii passed so near 20 tho
sun that it was not observed. It's next
passage was fixed for February II, 1916,
and by this time IL was seen to have split
I'D into two separate and distinct parts
which were constantly going further
from each other. In March. 1916. the dis
lance between these two parts had be-
come 1572i0 miles. and when the comet
returned in 1852 this distance had been
increased to 10000 miles.
In 1859 the return of the comet was

Professor Rudolph Fab. one Of the
staff of instructors at the Vienna Uni
versity and an astronomer whose name
is known from one end of the scientific
world 10 the other has settled upon NO
vembor Is as the day that the world
shall end. II his prediction Is true TINS
is not only the last year IN the existence
of our globe but the last day OF the wor'd
has actually arrived.
Early I'm 1898 Professor Fab commenced
10 predict all manner Of unpleasant
things for the world and when IL was
found that he had accurately predicted
the weather conditions Of January ana
February attention was drawn to ms

"In January and February he said'
eve shall have unprecedented cold waves
cyclones and hurricanes at sea, with
great loss OF shipping. especially on the
American coast and continent.
Towards the end Of March we shall
have earthquakes and destroying hail
storms.
In July and August the earth will be
subjected TO a tidal wave that will de-
stroy the eastern coast Of America. The
effect Of a submarine earthquake VIII so
change the form of Florida and Califor-
MIA that they viii become Islands.
