NEW YORK, July S.-A Sun special
from Rome says: 1t is understood that
the Italian Government has recently
addressed strong representations to the
State Department at Washington re-
specting alleged i'll treatment of Italian
immigrants in Hawaii. Blood-curdling
stories from there are current in Italy,
and the impression gained from them
is that these immigrants are kept in a
kind of slavery, chained, half-starved
and tortured. Italians intending to mi
CRATE to Hawaii are informed of what
is in store for them, and, as far as the
Government can manage, direct emf
grafton to the islands will be prevent

TWO WORLD-FAMOUS BOOKS
Official History of the Late Rebel
 lion The Largest Volume.

The most expensive book ever put lished is the official history of the war of the rebellion, which is now being issued by the United States govern ment, at cost up to date of s21, s00, ,000, says the Globe.DemOcrat. Of this amount nearly one-half has been paid for printing and binding, the remain der to be accounted for in salaries, rent, stationery. ana miscellaneous ex- penses, including the purchase of rec ords of private individuals. It has taken ten years to complete this work, which consists of 1l2 volumes.
 The largest. book in the world is in the Chinese department of the British Museum, and consists of5u20 volumes. This wonderful production of the Chinse presses was purchased few years ago for sli000, and is one of only three copies in existence. II is an en- cyclopaedia of the literature of China. covering a period of twenty-eight cen- turies from HOO B. (. to l700 A. D.
 It owes its origin to tho literary pro- clvities of the Emperor kang-he. who reigned from 1862 to l122. In the course of his studies ofthe ancient lit erature of his country, kang-he dis covered that extensive corruption had been allowed to creep into modern cdi- tions. and he conceived the idea of having the text and the originals re- produced and preserved in an author itative form.
 This was mighty conception. and in it's execution 1t remains unique down to the present day. For the purpose of carrying out the work kang-he appointed q commission uf learned men to select the writings to be reproduced, and employed the Jes uif missionaries to cast copper types with which to execute the printing.
 The commission was occupied for forty years in its great task Before the work was completed kang-he died but he had provided that his successor should see the book completed. The book is arranged in six divisions. each dealing with a particular branch of knowledge. The divisions are thus designated: First. writings relating 10 the heavens; second, writings relat- ing to the earth; third writings relating to mankind; fourth. writings relating to inanimate nature; fifth writings relating to philosophy; sixth. writings relating to political economy

4 GOOD ARBITRATION.
4 Double Life Shows One u2 in
 Vulnerable Light.

The value of good reputation is never 50 strikingly shown as when ac- cusations of crime are made against d man of good repute, says the Baltimore Sun. His reputation is a shield that can be broken down only by the most positive testimony. On the other hand everybody is ready to believe charge of evil brought against a man of bad repute. We read of instances almost every day. \ crime is committed and the police arrest a suspect. At first there is little evidence against him. He was observed near the scene of the crime about the time of its commis- sion, and this fact alone, being coupled with his bad reputation. is held to just ify his detention until investigation can be made. uder similar circum- stances T man of good reputation is in no danger of arrest. He can defend Himself against much stronger circum- stantial evidence. \ criminal career must have beginning, and it some times happens that a man of previous good reputation commits a crime; but in such case it is most difficult to convict him except on positive testi mony. Sometimes, indeed. it is shown that his good reputation was undeserv- ed; that he had been leading double life; and then, of course. his reputa- tiOn being gone, he becomes more vul- nerable. It is q general truth. how ever. that good reputation protects man from suspicion of wrong doing and that bad reputation directs sus- picion against him.

"DIAMOND DOLLARS of 1904
There are Only Four and They Re pose tn the United States Mint.

tucrc iTe Ouiy TOUT tuu lucy NS'
 pose in the United States Mint.
 '' Every now and then one reads about the discovery of another of the famous Diamond Dollars of lS0i," said gentleman ofthis city who owns one of the finest private collections of coins and medals in the south, says the New Orleans Time-Democrat. ''The dollars of that date are popularly sup posed Co be worth from Sl 800 5000 apiece, and if few originals could be produced they would bring that figure easily enough. But it happens, un- luckily, that there are only four on earth. and they are locked up in the vaults of the treasury building at Washington and couldn't be bought at any price. They are what are known as test pieces, which are always laid aside when new coin is struck, and the rest of the issue is at this moment quietly reposing under several miles of deep blue sea. The true story is rather interesting. In 1894 the mint at Philadelphia is known to have turn cd out i9,57o silver dollars. That was the entire issue, barring the test pieces | have just spoken oi, and it was never put into circulation. The whole lot. just as it came from the presses, was dumped into an iron chest and put on board merchantman bound for China. It was directed to the captain of a United States frigate then in oriental waters, and was intended to be used in paying certain expenses connected with the service The merchantmen ran into a Chinese typhoon and went t0 the bottom. where, to the best of my information, she still remains, iron chest and all, and that is why your Uncle sam is the only collector in the world who has a complete collection of American dollars. Every other col lection, including my own. is short one issue, and the gap will never be filled until the sea gives up its own.n
 Do you mean to tell us, then, said listener to the foregoing, that all the Diamond Dollars now in private cabinets are c0unterfeits?'' ''l own an 1894 dollar myself, and there are three others to my knowledge, in. the south. They were issued by the government, and are perfectly good and legal coins, but they are not originals. They are what are known technically as re strikes. In the early days, when the hints had few coins left over from une year to another they would change the date by striking them with Il spe- cial die, an operation that can always be detected by an expert. For some reason or other nobody knows just why, few dollars of the 1sOO issue were restruck in 1894 and put in circu- lation. | is probable that the total number was not over forty or fifty, and a good many have been lost. The ones in existence are worth sl50 apiece"

THE COMPASS PLANTS.
Amoug Them Are CIassed the Wild
Lettuce and Rosin Weed of the
the Temperate Zone.

Among the plants of the temperate
zone the so-called compass plants are
examples Of similar adaptations. The
compass plants include among others,
the wild lettuce (Lactuca scarilla) and
rosin weed (Silphium laciniatum).
These plants place the leaves in YER
tical position with the tips pointing
north and south in such manner that
the direct rays Of the morning and even
ing sun only may strike the surfaces at
right angles, while the edges are pre-
sented TO the fierce rays at MONDAY.
That this arrangement is an adaptation
against the iniense light is evident
when il is seen that specimens growing
in shaded loca atoms or in diffuse light
place the leaves n the typical horizontal
position. To meet the functional con-
ditions, both sides of the compass leaves
are almost equally provided with
palisade cells for food formation and
stomata for Transportation. The es-
limation of the light striking compass
leaf shows that ii receives approximate
ly the same amount of light as hori-
zontal leaf during the course Of a day
but the two maxima of intensity, morn
ing and evening. are much below that
OF the noon of horizontal leaves. s.-Prof
