PROF. B|CKMORE DEPARTS
MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH
RESULTS ATTAINED.
Wonderful Way in Which the Natural
Results of the Islands are Utilized.
The Intellectual Side.

Prof. Albert S. Bickmore of the
American Museum of Natural History.
New York, in charge of the department
of public instruction for the State of
New York, with Mrs. Bickmore and Mr..
Langill left last evening for the States
by the WarrimoO.
I'VE have had a thoroughly satisfac-
tory visit here" he said. I'VE have
accomplished more than we expected
to. our purpose in coming here was to
see the islands, to secure photographs
of things as they are so that we can re-
produce to the eye actual conditions.
The work we have done is a part of
the work of visual instruction. The
results of our observations are worked
up into. lectures illustrated by stereop-
tican views. We came here hoping to
secure about 800 photographs. Mr..
Langill actually made about 500 and
from local photographs here and IN Hilo
we have secured about 100 more.
These photographs present graph
Cally, the natural scenery of the islands
and their geological formation; the in
duStrial development of their natural
resources; social conditions; the edu-
cational status as shown in school
buildings and educational institutions
in fact the whole plane of life, civiliza-
ton and progress so far as these can
be shown by pictures of people and OBJ

In the industrial development of the

degree of scientific skill with which
| the natural resources have been utiliz-
ed In the irrigating systems, pumping
| plants and sugar mills the highest re-
sources of mechanical, engineering and
applied science have been called into
requisition. The result is shown in the
wonderful production.

people cannot be shown so fully or ac-
curately by pictures as the Industrial
and commercial side, what can be

BOERS AIMING.
The Cape Ministry Favors the Dutch
Farmers.

LONDON, August 25. - The Cape
Town correspondent of the Daily Mail
says; Despite the virtual blockade Of
war material in Delagoa bay, the Cape
Government is sending enormous con-
signment of munitions of war to
Bloemfontein. During the present
month over 100000 cartridges have
been sent and 500 rifles were dispatched
last night from Port Elizabeth to
Bloemfontein.
In addition to this. the Cape Minis
try, while absolutely declining to arm
the volunteers of the colony, continue
to afford other facilities to the Orange
Free State to arm its burghers, just
across the border, freely granting the
use of the colonial railways for the dis
tribution of cartridges from the Bloem-
fontein arsenal to the border towns
The patience of the people is becoming
exhausted, and unless the Imperial
Government acts quickly and decsively
the gravest damage may ensue to Brit
ish prestige.
CAPE TOWN, August 24.-The Del
agoa bay incident, coupled with the re-
cent transit of a large amount of am
munition, had directed the attention of
the British officials to the immense ac-
cumulations of war munitions in the
South African Republic and the Trans
vaal.
The Uitlanders being debarred from
carrying arms, the supply of weapons,
as shown in Lorenzo Marques (Delagoa
bay) returns for three years. is greatly
in excess of the burghers' requirements,
and consequently there is a growing
feeling among the British community in
South Africa that no settlement of the
existing crisis will insure lasting peace,
unless 1t includes a provision for the
reduction of ornaments.

ALL RUN DOWN.

Without vital power the heart, stom-
ach, lungs, bowels and all organs of
the body would be unable to perform
their functions and life would cease.
The nerves furnish this vital power;
and when the nerves are all run down,
the appetite disappears, rest is bro
ken by sleepless nights and a tired
feeling reigns supreme. DR.. Miles Ner-
vine will put things to rights. -Four
years ago my nervous system was bro
ken down from overwork and / was
Frustrated for many weeks. I could
not sleep at night, had no appetite and
could gain no strength until DR.. Miles
Nervine gave it to me. 1t is a grand
medicine"

A phenomenon, the cause OF which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned, was described at the last
meeting of the British association.
Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on
lathe and rapidly rotated while 3
hammer played lightly against them.
An almost continuous radiation OF
light was thus produced from the su-
gar. 1t was shown that the light did
not arise from heating OF the sugar.
and it is believed to be caused by
some change taking place in the SUI
gar crystals. The act of disqualification
is known TO be sometimes accompanied
by flashes of light. The practical bear
ing of these experiments is on the
question of the possibility of obtaining
artificial light by methods as yet un-
tried.

have miraculous healing powers and is
visited annually by thousands of pill
