WORK DOES NOT KILL.

"Not work, but worry, that kills."
some one has well said, and the NEGRO
logical list for the last year or two OF
men prominent in scientific medical
circles Is an interesting commentary,
When Huxley died, June 80 he was
past 70, and his had been a life typically
iull of patient, arduous investigation,
solid, rational, scientific teaching and
brilliant, If not always orthodox and
original writing

European meteorologists have

DIR. Goldschmidt makes the inter
eSting suggestion that this metal
would be much superior to nickel
for plating if it could be used for
that purpose. 1t is more stable
than nickel, being as little liable
to oxidation as gold. No
method of plating with chromium
is yet known, but, as it could he
used as a soluble anode. it is he
lieved that practical process
may he devised ere long. 1t ap.

can be reduced in considerable

a new industry for Australia
is promised by the valuable Eu-

kallenite, is made from the leaves,

manufacture. If further expert

the new material may be expected

A remarkable account of the
vitality of disease germs comes
from Switzerland. In the Haar-

pleague victims was buried in the
HARLEM church, and the vault

thirty or forty years ago by some
maSons repairing the building.
The wOrkmen were all attacked
with the infectious glandular
swelling, although not with the
severest form of the pleague.
The sensation of taste produced
by an electric current passing
through the tongue is found by
Ieynek, a German. electrician, to

electric taste is an electrolytic
one.

In view of the recent decision Of

American Labor in Hawaii.

Hawaifs prosperity depends largely upon
the ease with which satisfactory labor is
secured for the development of the planta-
lions. The industries are such as to re-
quire many human hands. Machinery can
not replace the laboUer in the cane and the
coffee fields. Accordingly when conditions
threatea 10 interrupt the flow of immigra-
ton the prospect of profitable cultivation
darkens. With the transfer of sovereignty
to the United States came vexing problems
concerning the labor supply. The act of
annexation forbade the extension of the
contract labor law In such manner as to
permit the entry of Chinese or other for
eign labor under contract into this country.
AT the same time it was recognized that
among the chief sources of supplying the
Hawaiian plantations with labor were
China and Japan. and, to a certain extent,
Portugal and that practically all laborers
hired for Hawaiian work were imported I'M
der contract. In no other manner under
the old regime could planters secure their
needed help. How can the Hawaiian plan
tations be now continued in full activity
and productiyeness if this source of labor
is TO be shut off? The japanese and Chi
nese iaborers are peculiarly fitted to the
climatic and agricultural conditions of the
Islands. But they are racially antagonistic
and are continually on the verge of riot.
The Porting Iese ale practically as efficient
hands and are more easily managed. but
can not be secured in the requisite num-
bers. BY special arrangement with the
government in this city the administration
In charge of Hawaiian territorial affairs
has temporarily extended the permit or
contract system whereby Chinese and Jap
anese laborers are brought into the islands
under requirement not to proceed TO the
mainland Meanwhile efforts are being
made to adjust the case upon more per-
manent and satisfactory basis. In their
dilemma the planters have turned to the
American labor market and hope to find in
the states sufficient willing and capable
hands 10 tide over the difficulties which will
