BRITISH ADVERTISING.
Rates Used by Principal Papers in
London City.

As a rule, the London newspapers
pay bigger dividends on the capital in
vested than those of Chicago or New
York. The English are great adver-
tisers, but they do not understand the
are of display or show the originality
that makes the advertising pages of
American newspapers attractive. The
a. vertslng rates in the Times, Tele-
graph and other first-class newspapers
vary but little, and 1t is curious that
they charge more in proportion for
large advertisements than for little
ones. For example, the rate Is BIN
cents a line for the first 48 lines, and
after that SO cents a line, for legal
financial, educational, amusements and
similar notices. "Trade" advert sements
as they call those furnished by mer-
chants, auctloneers, ETC., are charged
for at the rate of shillngs for the
first FIVE lines and l shilling line
thereafter. "Situauons wanted" cost 3
shillngs for four lines and s'xpence a
line thereafter Domestic servants an
plying for situations are given reduced
rates-three lines for sh lling and Y
pence. Persons advertising for help
have to pay a shifting a line no matter
how lorg or how short their advertise
ment. Rents an7 other real estate ad-
. Vertisement pay a shilling a line for the
first six lines and I shifting and s'v
pence thereafter Marriage and death
notices are received at the same rate.

70 ABOLISH THOUGHT

A new telephone directory was issued
today and with it the new system of
calling up Waikiki subscribers goes in
70 effect.
ITO call Waikiki subscriber give the
operator the district color and number
IN the telephone directory as: Waikiki,
Black, TIL"
This Is the beginning of a system
that will be extended soon to all teIe-
phones. The object of it as explained
by Superintendent Cassidy is to faCili-
tate making connections and reducing
the time required. AS soon as the oper-
ator hears the word Waikiki. she knows
what trunk line to connect with and
does 1t instantly. BLACK" or IRE !"
tells the operator at the Waikiki office
what district the desired number is in.
So that by the time the subcriber has
given the direction waikiki, Black,
III" the operator in the central office
has made the connection with the Wal
kilfi office, the Waikiki operator has
been informed what strict the number
wanted is in and can make the connec-
ton the instant she gets the number
1t has this advantage, Mr.. Cassidy eX-
plains, over simply giving the number
wanted, that in the latter case the op-
era tor has to think what trunk line and
district that number belongs to, and in
| the rush hours there isn't time to think.
In other wOr the new system is a
| plan to abolish thought In the centrol
office and to substitute automatic ac-
| tipn

WALKING ON WATER.

There is a man in Berlin who sur
prises onlookers by exhibiting himself
walking on the River Spree. He uses
water shoes, not unlike snow Shoes
they being u feet long, AMI no broader
than his foot. The shoes are, however,
no broad pieces of wood, but hollow zinc
cylinders, tapering to a point at each
end, the feet being strapped to the CEN
ters Along the bottom Of each shoe five
square flaps are hinged at right angles
to the length of the shoe. The hinges of
the flaps allow them to bend backwards
but not forwards, so that when he NOV
es one foot forward through the water
the flaps beneath that shoe SWING back
and lie fiat, Offering no resistance to
the movement, while the flaps on the
other shoe remain vertical and resist,
to some extent, the tendency of that
foot to slide back. By this means,
though every forward step involves a
slight slide backward, he shufles along
with surprising speed and safety.

WHAT MRS. HOLMES AND THE W.
c. I. Z. ARE DOING.
Flowers and Good Cheer for the Sieh
in Hospitals and About the City
Splendid Private Work

An important charitable work haH
Oeen undertaken by the ladies of tho
". G. +. u. and is now being carried on
most successfully.
MIS-. holmes ana a few others are the
Iatd wOIk kers in the enterprise. They
IRE around every day, though the bulk
If their endeavor is put forward on Sat
Irday.
The work consists of visiting the SICK
1t the hospitals and other p aces IN the
aty and supplying flowers, fruits or
Jther delicacies required. Though SINH
ar, the work is different to that to he
undertaken by the Associated Chart
les, proverty usually suggesting the
business of the latter and the effort be-
ng to supply necessities.
Last Saturday Mrs. Holmes and a
friend reached the hospital in a carri-
lge. In one large basket were several
hundred beautiful bouquets of various
lowers. Each was neatly tied and
lbOut the stem was left a bit of paper
)earing a verse from the bible. Some

temperance and so on, Another bas-
tet was filled with fresh fruits, oranges.
lpples, peaches and the like. All the
wards were visited and each patient re-
eiVed bouquet a few kin words
md, as many as could take it, fruits.
Inquiry developed the fact that this
work is carried on almost exclusively
by private aid. Several business men
nave given cash from time to time to
help it along. One merchant has given
boxes of fruit on different occasions. An
immense amount of work is being found
by Mrs Holmes and her ass stants, and
he expense of keeping 1t up is quite
arge. At the same time the amount of
-ood being done can hardly be overesti-
| mated.
Mrs. Holmes has 'evoted a large pOr-

Nas systematized 1t into a business.

PRIVATE CAPITAL TO PUT IN A
SYSTEM.
Project is Viewed Favorably by the
the Purpose This Year,

Lahaina will most probably soon have
a water system. A move in that dlrec-
ton has been made and it promises
success.
There is not an appropriation for the
Lahaina water works The matter was
spoken of in the last legislature, but
nothing was done. 1he project now Is
to put in the works with private capi-
tai under certain conditions by which
the government may eventually come
into control of the property.
A proposal has been made to the gov
ernment by private parties to supply
water, charging the regular rates there
for. This has been cons ,dered by Pre-
sdent Dole and the ministers and Is
viewed with favor by them. Today
Minister King was instructed TO inves-
tigate the water supply and the whole
subject and to report as soon as possi-
BILE.
The parties who wish to supply water
purpose drawing it from the nelghbOr-
hood of the Lahaina school. This will
give it a considerable drop, saving the
expense of raising it. The water there
is said to be first class. There will b.:
a stipulation in the contract that the
government may purchase the works
from the owners at any time it so
chooses.
Maui towns are all rather behind In
the matter of water. No where on that
island is there a modern public water
system. A start has been made on
works at Wailuku and that town will
be all right inside of year. 1t IS now
expected that Lahaina will also have
it's system by that time.

sMOKELEss POWDER.

The use of smokeless powder has its
disadvantages, especially the increased
wear of the gun. 1t is rather a grave
Inconvenience, for in time of peace SOL
diers have to practice firing, and their
arms are the worse for it. Prof. w.
c. Roberts Austin, c. b., has recently
presented photographs to the Iron and
Steel Institute of Great Britain which
demonstrated the ruin of rified ordnance
by cordite. melinite, and other smoke
less powders. A quick-firing gun suf-
fered from cordite after five shots, al
though the steel was of the usual quail
ity and the tube had been tempered in
oil NJ. Meriel, a French writer, thinks
that II the sudden elevation of temper
ature followed by cooling on firing a
shot could be avoided it would help the
matter.

because we buy in large quantities. and
