A very romantic yarn was spun in
the Advertiser this morning in re-
gard to the Roman mansion at Ma
noa of ex-Minister Cooper. We
have no doubt, that the prosperous
owner of the mansion finds skeletons
around his premises, but the con-
juring of sugar planter of the
name of Wilkinson in the "twenties"
sounds rather like ghost story.
That cane was grown in Manoa
many years ago is we'll known fact
A Chinese mill, composed of a stone
cylinder pulled by jackasses was do
ing the crushing. The jackasses did
their work better than their COM
patriot writing history for the Ad-
vertiser. Mr.. Cooper had cheap
bargain of his Manoa possessions.
He has used his official position to
good advantage. Water has been
laid and roads have been built into
district not necessarily entitled to
these benfits. Other places densely
populated have suffered in the line
OF roads and water simply because
Mr.. Cooper, the Prince of Manoa,
read the proclamation of the over
turn of the monarchy under the
protecting guns OF Uncle Sans
navy, and then had matters fixed"
with some of the men who in the
name of honor should have locked
the Cooper combination up, but
who betrayed their ruler and their
people. We don't blame Cooper for
having made sack, and he is right
in retaining the ancient name OF
Puupueo for his Manoa property.
The owl is the emblem of wisdom,
and Cooper has been wise if not
honorable according to the old
fashioned principals of men. The
people who allowed him to get at
Puupueo in the manner he did
should drop the owl and select the
Mocking Bird as main figure on
their political escultcheon.
Two white sailors who shipped on
the Hawaiian vessel Fort George
at Newcastle, N. S. w., were ar

local defects in the mode of pro

erect monument in the cemetery at
Front Royal this summer to the men,

during the war. Now considerable op-
position has arisen to the erection of

given more conspicuous position, and
an effort will be made to have it placed
in the town Of Front Royal.

Locust Toxin.

An English scientist who has been
delegated by the English government to
experiment with locust toxin reports
as follows: AS the inoculated locusts
died they were kept and dried and aft
erward having been given time to
mature they were ground into powder.
A swarm of locusts, which were two
hours in passing, went into five-acre
mealie patch, and some of these To-
Gusts were saturated with solution
of the ground-up powder and set loose
again in the swarm, which couple of
days afterward was visibly affected. a
little later they were all dead. If this
story be true, it would be difficult to
exaggerate Its Importance to farmers
In countries affected by the locust pest.

CoaI-Dust Firing.

Fine dust of coal or of -four mixed
with dir forms an explosive agentwhich
has been the cause OF many mine and

Of this property of combustible dust
in a new process of boiler-firing. The
fuel reduced to dust is fed by ma
chinery into the furnace in which fire
must constantly be maintained. The
instant the dust falls into the furnace
chamber it burns with flash, almost
explosively, and the production OF
smoke is absolutely prevented and the
firing becomes economical as regards
