SCIENCE.

A compact and economical primary
battery would overcome many of the OBJ
jections to automobiles. A new automo-
bile tricycle. exhibited at Berlin is claim
e d to have a practical battery of this
kind, consisting of "a cedds, with cleo
trodes of zinc and peroxide of lead. the
positive plates containing in themselves
the electrolyte in concentrated form.
With the plates charged, it is only nee
essary to fill the battery with water. The
battery weighs 176 pounds, the total
weight of the vehicle being 4A pounds,
and with two passengers a III of 81 miles
can be made. To continue, it is simply
necessary to empty the battery. exchange
the positive plates, and refill with water.
In trials made, the total running expense
on bad roads Is stated to have been about
two cents per mile, and ii is claimed that
theoretically the cost should not exceed
Is cents.
The Importance of small things is ex-

only specimen yet known is believed to
have lived on a rat. The species is as
sign by N. c. Rothschild to the genus
~stephanocircus, which has been hitherto
represented by a single species of Aus
tralia, and the two forms are evidently
very closely allied, although now separ-
ated by the ocean.

THE VALUE OF HUMUS.

I'S Va
soil are stated to be clay, sand
and humus. Clay is valuable in
soils because of its moisture re-
tanning properties and because of
its nbsorbative power. which
enable il to retain the elements

plants. But soil of clay entire

nature for successful cultivation

Sand then. when mixed with the
! clay serves TO mellow it. and the
amount Of sand in wha; is com
monty clay soil would be Il sur
prise 10 many who have not
investigated the matter. lIumus
in the soil is derived from the
decay of animal or vegetable mat

deficient in humus will dry out
so that the fertilizers applied fail
to dissolve and are of no use tC

from the soil except in pcrfec,

a soil in which there is a plenty
of humus will possess enough
moisture TO dissolve and give tC
plants the fertiliZing matters ap

proposes to give humus \ REST
Will soon find that he is giving
his crops rest. But humus has
a further use. BY means of its
humic acid it aids in the solution
and decomposition of mineral
matters in the soil, thus changing
unavailable matters into an avail
able shape. 1t has Il still further
use in that it absorbs and retains
for the use of plants the ammonia
that would in its absence escape
into the atmosphere or be carried
off in the rains.
Every one knows of the lasting
nature OF stable manure when
applied to the soil. This comes
from the slow decay of the organic
matter associated with it, making

NINETY NINE DEATHS IN THE
DISTRICT.
An Unprecedented Death List-Nearly
Half of Them were Babies-That
Unknown List Again.

In the month of March there were SO
deaths in the district of Honolulu. OF
this large number three were non-res-
idents. Fifty-one were Hawaiians, 10
Japanese, Ii Chinese, Americans, 2
British and of other nationalties.
Forty-five We're children under five
years of age, which is an extraordinary
mortality of juveniles. Six were over
90 years.
The principal causes of death were
Unknown II, consumption 10, bronchi-
tbs T. diarrhoea 6, pneumonia Z, chole-
ra infantum 8, malarial fever 8, hom-
orrhage 8, old age 8, Bright's disease 2,
catarrh 2, convulsions 2, dysentery 2,
enteritis g fever q Inflammation 2,
inanitiOn 2, meningitis 2, ulcer 2.
The mortality proved to be greater
than in any previous year since 1893,
at least, if not i'm the history of the
city. The increase of population and
advent of afflicted persons had some
thing to do with it. But the large pro-
portion of deaths were among bona fide
resident natives and Asiatics. The Ha-
waiian death rate per annum for the
month was 1922; Asiatics, $500, and
all others. 1440.
The death rate of 90 for the month
compares with the same month of pre-
vious years as follows: 81 for 1893, As
for 1894, 63 for 1885, so for 1897, and 73
for 1898 The annual death rate for
the whole population for the month was
1894.
The item of unknown, to which is
charged IL deaths, means persons not
attention by physicians. In no case
was there a coroner's inquiry. In at
least one instance, where the cause of
death was given by the mother of the
girl, a child of 13, as "cold," a coron-
er's inquiry was recommended by the
agent of the board of health, but for
some reason unknown the coroner did
not investigate the matter. The death
goes in the unknown column,
whether 1t was pneumonia, strangula-
tiOn or murder
