BUSINESS In CHINATOMN.

There has been jam at the Board
of Health office today for passes into
the quarantined district. All sorts OF
reasons for wanting the passes were
given. Electric light, telephone, and
market men, one representative of each
paper and quite a few others on i'm
portant personal business were admit
ted. Up to noon 300 passes had been Is
sued. Chinese, Japanese and natives
We're refused absolutely. Jack Nc
Weigh and Sam Decker are assisting In
writing out passes.
At II O'clock this morning the Board
decided that employers might get their
servants out of quarantine by applying
for passes and reaching the servants
through the military authorities. 1t is
required, however, that servants so re-
leased shall not visit the Chinese quar-
ter until after the quarantine is raised.
The Hawaiian hotel and Arlington
kept all of their servants indoors last
night and have their services today.
This was a thoughtful precauton.

The existence of the plague in Homo

among the Japanese, according to their
statements. 1t is certain that they
have talked of it, as many claim to
have known since last Saturday that
the great Oriental scourge had found
its way mere. AS long as two weeks
ago, it is stated, complaints were
made that there were many dead rats
on Nuuanu street, which is regarded
as q sure sign of the plague. -

The Council of State met in extraor-

appropriate money for immediate use

should be made available at once and
the amount was raised to $4,000.
Additional pay will almost certainly
be made the National Guard for ex-

that the figures will be about the same
as during the rebellion of 1895.

Keep Servants Indoors.

The Board of Health urges upon
housekeepers to keep servants indoors.
Under no circumstances should they be
allowed to visit other Chinese or Jap
anese or to eat any Oriental food. Ser
wants should be kept cleanly and speci-
al attention should be given to sanitary
condition of kitchens Any infraction
of this instruction will multiply the
duties of the inspectors and make a
spread of the dread disease more easy
and likely.

O, YE OF LITTLE FAITH.

But when an honest man 65 years

al health was seriously impaired.

Der of kidney pills and kidney RENE
dies without any particular benefit,

wonderful relief within two days after
commencing the use of kid-ne-oids,
and that / am now entirely cured.

A MILLION MILLION.
Huvv Long. Think You, Would 1t Take
You to Count 1t.


Professor Wagstaff, whose very name
suggests pleasing first cousinship to
Shakespeare, has lately been amusing
himself and his audience at Gresham
college by speculations as to what might
have happened if the father of our hu-
man race had given up delving and
! taken to figures. Let US suppose that
Adam had set himself to count mil
lion million, or, in figures, LOCO, 900, :
900, 600. We will imagine that he could
count three in a second, which, though
not exactly rapid ciphering, will be
found ample, if taken continuously.
Now, if 5000 years have elapsed since
the gracious amenities of Eden formed
| the cradle of humanity, Adam would
have been working for 1S9, ZIG, 600, 900
seconds and have reached a total of
567, GAS, 900, 600 figures. In other words,
his task of counting million million
would still have been unaccomplished
by over four hundred thousand millions
digits.
All of which goes TO prove what?
There are many possible conclusions.
The first is, of course, that Professor
Wagstaff is q very ingenious and by no
means melancholy mathematician, but
that hardly needed proof. A second de-
duction, which we advance with all
humility, is that if Adam had only had
habitual recourse to harmless dissipa-
ton of this arithmetical kind, instead
of betraying marital weakness and
fondness for fruit, his descendants
would have been very much better off
morally and spiritually, though not
perhaps in material comforts. And
third conclusion, eminently gratifying
TO those who refuse to believe that there
rs any serious discord between religion
and science, is that Professor Wagstaff,
no doubt man of distinction in scien-
tific attainments, accepts without any
demur Bishop Ussher's chronology.
According to the divine, the world
was created in 1904 B. c., and that
added to the 1898 years which have
elapsed since the Christian era makes
in round numbers the 5000 years on
which the whole calculation depends.
Some wayward scientists" have dog
affirmed that the world has
been wagging along good many moro
centuries than USHER supposed, al
though there is a serious difference, it
is true, in this matter between the as
trOnOmerS anu the SeOiOSlstS. 90, aIter
all, perhaps if Adam had been reason
ably industrious, no would have bad
time TO accomplish his task, unless his
brain had given way under the strain.
Most of us have such vague ideas as to
the meaning of large figures that it is
as well to be reminded by so happy an
illustration how many units go to the
of million. The only other
fashion in which such in
struction could be acquired is to become
n South African "boss" of mines and
and that process, much as
we may desire il, is. fortunately or I'M
not open to the majority Of

How insects Hide From Enemie..

How Insects Hide From Enemies.
How many have ever noticed the
skillful way i'll which many insects dis
guise themselves when in danger from
some larger animal or bird? Probably
you have all observed that the caterpil-
lar "plays dead when he is disturbed,
and that many insects choose for their
homes some tree or shrub whose bark or
foliage matches themselves in color.
There is certain variety of moth,
quite common around elms, which fixes
its wings so that they closely resemble
spots or lichens on the bark of the tree
and can only be detected by a trained
eye. Another moth, whose principal
colors are pink and yellow, arranges
itself on the blossom of a primrose so
as to wholly escape notice. In the East
Indian islands there is spider which
reposes on the upper side of large leaf
in such shape that it perfectly resem-
bles decayed matter.
a hunter in tropical regions tells of
seeing a cricket pursued around the
trunk Of tree by lizard. Suddenly
the insect settled itself in a small de-
preston in the bark, spread out its
wings slightly and flattened itself so
that the lizard actually crawled over it
and went away without ever knowing
what had become of it.-Lewiston Jour
