LITERARY NOTES.

TThe Making of Hawaii" Is the title Of
book by William Fremont Blackman, pro-
fessor of Christian ethics in Yale university,
which will be published Immediately by the
Macmillan company. 1t has been Prof.
Blackman's aim to give sober and COM
prehensive discussion of the forces which
have been at work in the social evolution
of the island. AS a field for the study of
some important social problems Hawaii Of
fers unusual scope.
Dodd, Mead & Company have now ready,
in the Poychrome Bible, the books of Q)
Ezekiel translated by e. H. Toy, professor
Of Hebrew and Oriental languages and lit
erature, and Biblical literature in Harvard
NJ. H. Bennett, professor of Old Testament
languages and history at Hackney and New
colleges, London. Six parts of the Old
Testament are therefore ready, the two parts
quoted above and those previously published
viz: (3) Judges, (4) Psalms, (5) Isaiah and
(6) Leviticus. 1t is comforting to see the
Polychrome Bible make such progress to-
ward its completion.
1t is strange that so few writer's of fiction
have utilized the wealth OF material which
exists in the life of John Paul Jones. Per-
haps the only two men of note who have
availed themselves of his adventures are
Cooper and Dumas, and they have used the
more well known episodes in his career. In

NEW TWIST IN hartley CASE
Bondsmen Claim that the Omaha National
Bank is Responsible.
NOTICE OF RESTRAINING ORDER SERVED
object of Injunction Proceedings is TO
Relieve Bondsmcn from Paying
S2O1 ,sSi of state Money Alleged
to Have Been Placed in Bank.

Notice has been served on Judge Powell
and the clerk OF the district court of this
county OF a restraining order which makes
it possible that the BARLEY bond case will
not be tried during the current term. The
order is issued by Judge Frost of the dis
trict court of Lancaster county on the ap-
plication of Mary Fitzgerald, c. G.. McNish,
w. A. Paxton, Thomas Swobe, E. E. Brown,
Cadet Taylor n. S. Harwood and John II.
Ames, all of whom were on the official bond
given by BARLEY when he began his second
term as state treasurer. Briefly stated. the
object OF the injunction proceedings is to
relieve the bondsmen Of responsibility for
1901 ,SS4.0i of state money, which is alleged
to have been deposited in the Omaha Ma
tional bank, and for which the plaintiffs
assert the bank is RESPONSIBLE on its boD
Governor Poynter, Attorney General Smyth
and the bank and its officials are made de-
PENDANTS.
In the petition filed in the Lancaster
county court in the injunction proceedings
the applicants assert that they signed the
bond given by BARLEY when he began his
second term, but that the instrument was
filed with the secretary OF state without
their knowledge or consent. They also de-
clare that the bond was never approved by
the governor and that Bartley never ac-
counted to the state auditor for the busi-
ness of his first term.
Referring to the deposits in the Omaha
National bank, they cite copy of the de-
pository bond which approved by Gov
ernor Crounse April 81, 1894. They alege
that in this bond the bank agreed to hold
the people of the state of Nebraska harm
less for all state funds that might be de-
posted in the bank, and also that BARLEY
should not be held liable on his official bond
for any funds so deposited. The petition
then recites the history of the S201 900 de-
post as it appears in the papers filed by the
state, and declares that IL this money was
wrongfully withdrawn from the bank, as Is
asserted 1t was done with the consent and
participation of the officers of the bank
They knew that there had been no legis-
lative appropriation that authorized them to
pay the warrant for $1S0,000 in Bartley's
favor and If they paid the money they did
so with full knowledge of the facts and
should be held accountable on their bond.
1t is therefore asked that the state off,
cials be enjoined from proceeding with the
suit against the BARLEY bondsmen in the
Douglas county courts, that the bank be de-
cared responsible and that the plaintiffs
be exonerated from all obligation so far as
the amount deposited in the Omaha National
bank is concerned. The hearing on the
application for a temporary injunction Is set
at Lincoln April 13.

An interesting fish that inhabits the waters
of the Nile is the malapterurus electricus,
which is considered about the best species
OF electrical fish, for, unlike the gymnotus
and torpedo, its electric organs do not affect
it's motion. In a paper recently presented to
the Royal Institution at London the theory
is advanced by Prof. Gotch that the seat OF
the electro motive force is the nerve center
itself and not the collection of plates which
organ of the fish. These plates number about
1000, 900 and consist of a modified muscular
substance separated by an albuminous COM
position, while each is connected by a single
nerve fibre to the nerve center. measure
ment of the electro motive force of the cells
by a capillary electrometer revealed the fact
that the electro motive force was OF the
tion of a muscle and amounted to about
.04 or .05 volt. Between the eXcitation OF the
nerve and the maximum electro motive force
there Is time lag Of about 1000 OF
second, and an oscillatory electro motive
force is generated by single momentary
eXctation of the nerve. At the lecture be-
fore the Royal institution already referred
to the electric current from two of these
live electric fishes was shown by tele-
phone, and also shocks given to many Of
the audience. Some OF these fishes were pro-
cured by the Senff expedition Of Columbia
university while at the Nile last summer,
and are exhibited in the museum OF the de-
partment OF zoology OF that institution.

A growing appetite was not sufficient
to make George Dewey a chunky boy,
however, by any means. He was small
for his years and his activity kept him
thin. The figure that this little Yer
monter presented in those days is a
winsome one, as it is painted by those
who knew him. Dark eyes flashed
from a brown, intelligent countenauce
that was always beaming with good
nature and youthful FEASIBILITY. An
erect bearing and an air of command
well became him. 1t would seem that
he was always meditating a mischief
or an exploit of which he was himself
the centre figure and his chums his
faithful satellites. "He was a pomp-
GUS little fellow" one of his old COM
panions asserts. "His head was up
and he patronized us a bit, and how
we liked i'll L can see him now with
that bright eye, a smile on his lips
and his hands in his pockets, coming
whistling along the street, His nature
was %fun-loYing, yet loyable. The boy
did some reckless things, but never n
mean one."-New York Mail and Ex-

A well known Albany angler had a
unique experience last summer trout
fishing up in Canada. He was sent
cut from camp to catch q mess for sup
per. He was fishing with three flies
on a single leader. At the first cast
his fly was taken by agood-sized trout
that leaped from the water to grab it.
He evidently got the leader on a
''slack" before the line was frightened
from the rod, as he snapped it off and
went swimming away with the two
flies and broken leader trailing be-
hind. Next day the angler revisited
the lake, and as he was looking over
the side of the boat he espied in ten
or fifteen feet of water the big trout
that had taken his leader the night
before. Acloser examination revealed
that his troutship was safely hitched
to the dead branch of a tree which
had fallen into the water. In swim
ming about one of the two free hooks
on the leader had caught the branch
and that ended the migrations of the
trout still firmly hooked by the fly he
had grabbed.
Rowing ashore the angler stripped
and dove for his prize. He secured it
and a piece of the branch, and to-day
has the stuffed trout with hook still in
his jaw and the other hook imbedded
in the broken branch mounted as a
piscatorial study and souvenir of the
incident.-Albany IN. " Argus.

One scarcely thinks that the Fill
pinos are capable of dainty work, but
Miss Augusta Akmeyer, of st. Louis,
has received from Manila a fan fol-
which for beauty rivals anything of the
kind ever devised by the artistic
japanese.
The fan is made to fold. The handle
and separating parts are made of frail
ivory, daintily carved. Inserted into
the end of each is the feather of o
swan, at the end of which is the
gorgeous tip of a peacock feather,
altogether forming an attractively
beautiful blending of natural colors.
Perhaps the most beautiful piece Of
work in the construction of the fan
lies in the swan feathers. Woven into
these slender feathers are variegated
threads, forming fantastic figuring of
flowers, personages and leaves. In
the centre of the right side of the fan
is woven among the feathers a picture
representing q man and a woman
picking fruit. Into this n picture
alone is introduced IN amazing wool
of %colors, varied as those of the rain
bow, causing one to marvel how such
a variety of threads could be woven
so intricately aud with such perfect
precision upon the slender swan
feathers. About these figures are
clustered v~ari-colored flowers and
leaves, the latter being of a pure
white silk, while the former are made
of silks of many hues. Upon the re!
verse side of the feathers are also in
Vulnerable woven flowers and leaves.
The work is evidently that of some
past master in the art.
