coinage, and have conducted their
government in an infinitely better way
than any part of Russia is managed
Now at the within of the peace low
ing" Car this is all to be swept away
and the free Firms are to be brought
to the level of the bureau-enslaved
Russians. Their language is to be
done away with, the Greek church
must be their religion, their constitu-
ton and laws are to be abolished and
their good coinage is to be replaced by
the debased Russian. There are ele-
ments of a political conflagration in
Finland.
In the south there Is once more
trouble in the Balkans. In Macedonia
the whole province is armed and mat
tiers are rapidly drifting towards open
revolution. The Turks have been
pouring in men, and have now 100000
troops ready. Bulgaria naturally SYM
pathizes with her fellow countrymen
in Macedonia, who are under Moslem
yoke, and it is thought that Russia is
ready to back Bulgaria. Elements
again of political confiagration in Ma
cedona.
If we look to the Afghan frontiers we
will see further elements of cOnfagra-
ton. They are visible among the jar
ring interests along the coasts of Chi
ma, with the grand scramble there is
for the eastern trade. And here it be-
gins to interest us, for American in
terests rank high in the eastern seas
now. 1t is hardly necessary to con-
slider the Samoan difficulties unless
Germany decides to support Consul
Rose, when the fat would be in the
fire" there.
And in the face of all these things
we have the Emperor of Russia
preaching peace, and upon his invita-
ton asking the nations to agree to
general disarmament If the Car
wants peace why is he overriding the
inherent rights of the freedom loving
Finns?l Why is he intriguing in the
Balkans and on the frontiers of At
ghanistan? And further why is every
means being used to increase the war
power of empire? The peace project
is very likely indeed to end in a grand
crash which will clear the air and let
the next century have breathing
spell without war and rumors of war.
The last years of century have ever
been stained with blood.

Welcome the coming, speed the part
ing guest. 1t is Aloha to the Engin-
GERS and Aloha to the Artillerymen.
Strange winning word, Aloha, that
can be used for greeting and farewell,
and is equally touching, equally win
ming and equally truthful for each.
We have learned to like and respect
the Engineers, who have proved them
selves whole souled, worthy men, and
in many cases excellent and fast
friends. Wherever they go the good
wishes of the community will go with
them in their various paths of life. To
the Artillerymen we extend the same
good feeling, and are ready to render
the same respect and the same liking.
All unite in wishing that Post Honolu-
lu may come to be regarded in the ar
my as one of the peasantest spots for
the soldier to spend his time in. If the
soldiers do their part the citizens Will
do theirs. The greatest good will goes
towards our present guests.

MORE OF THEM Used

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make, This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

Aaventure win a Tiger.

Colonel R., an English officer station

ture while tiger hunting in which he
lost an arm The colonel had wounded
a tiger from an elephants 5 back The
tiger charged, and the elephant, taking
fright, bolted through the jungle To
save himself from being Drained and
swept off by overhanging branches,
Colonel r. seized q stout limb and, rails
ing himself, left the elephant to go on
alone through the forest To his dismay
he found he had not strength and agil-
ity sufficient to swing himself up to sit
on the branch In vain he strove TO
throw a leg over and 50 raise himself
Looking down the sportsman discov-
cred that the tiger had spotted him and
was waiting below The horror of the
situation can be imagined the enraged
tiger and the helpless, dangling man
knowing he must fail into those cruel
jaws.
How long he hung there he never
knew He shouted and shrieked in an
agony of fear. He eased one arm lit
tie and then the other. then hung de-
spairingly by both till at last tired ma
ture gave way and he dropped
He remembered thrusting one arm
into the tiger s jaws, and then conscious
ness left him His life was saved BY the
arrival of a friendly rife barrel held
close to the tiger head and through the
subsequent amputation of the mangled
arm by skillful surgeon. Youth s

One serious aud at the same time un-
suspected source of fog in photography
is often due to the fact that the black.
ing has slightly worn off the lens
mount and there is reflection which
results in a loss Of brilliancy in the
negative. Constant use and endless
cleaning of the lens in time wear the
blacking off, and this should be attend
ed to and all metal parts kept we'll
blacked. Where lenses are mounted in
aluminium still more care is necessary
in this respect, as, wherever iu such
cases the blacking wears off, white light
instead of yellow light is reflected into
the lens.
Sometimes diaphragms of the iris
pattern are greatly at fault in this re-
spect. By reason Of its construction the
leaves or vanes in this diaphragm are in
constant friction while being set, and
thus become polished and reflective, for
which reason some photographers avoid
having iris diaphragms in their lenses,
notwithstanding their convenience. A
careful examination of the apparatus
will insure safety in this matter. Stops
of the ordinary pattern become in time
little better than bare metal, especially
at the edges of the aperture.

satin. The others wore peau de sole,
brocade, and very few had velvet
gowns with lace and embroidered trim

There were but few thin and gauzy
gowns, for there were few Young girls

beauty about satin that makes it more
appropriate for evening than any other

Nearly all these gowns were wrought
