Gov. Dick" Leary of Cham is civ ilizing the island on the lightning ex- press method. It will be completely Americanized in about year. In lete ter to his brother, an army officer, the governor announces that he has abol- ished slavery (which was exactly right, compelled some friars to leave the island, amended the marriage laws with regard to polygamy. prohibited the liquor traffic, and forbidden drunk enness. In his drink order the goy- ernor sternly said: Drunkenness is the chief source of all crime and trou- ble in this island, and must and shall cease" That he is benevolent des- bot" cannot be gainsaid.

It Was Found on the Plains and Bsed
 on Many Ceremonia Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fiftieth anniversary of the state of California has a history that is very interesting In 1849 9oung man in coming across the plains loant a pile of books by the side of h Toad with a stick stuck among them bearing note telling travellers to help themselves. The young man in searching through the old volumes found handsome Bible, which he con- sidered shame to be left upon the dreary desert. He placed it in his pack and carried it to Sacramento. He presented it to pr. R. F. Mcdonald who at that time conducted a drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento a meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge of Masons. That was on Jan. s, 1850, and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. 1t chancee that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon- aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Mason@ was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name ot Connecticut lodge was changed to Fe- hama lodge, No. 3, but ever since it's establishment on Jan. 8. 1850, the Bi= .ble has remained in the possession of the lodge. R. O. Craven. a prominent officer of the lodge, has been appointed 10 represent the lodge here during the jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS todian of the prized old book during it's visit to this city.-San Jose Cab Mercury.

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT.
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.


 It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted npon by electric heat and light rays, are completely banished from the sufferers body. says Pearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light is thrown onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks iii a bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensa- tions, and in most cases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after a course of electric-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The apparatus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple To an ad- unstable stand are fitted two large cop per or nickel-plated reffectors, which can be moved in any direction. If a patient is lying in bed reheetors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the refecting sur faces are the electric lamps which ra- dtate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the dis tanee of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means of a special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body such as the armpits or shoulders, which it would be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets, without affecting the power of the rays), the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In few moments the thermometer will register BOO degrees Fahrenheit have seen patients chatting cheerfu1ly and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such heat as this would roast ffmb Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which eyaporates precipitation as soon as It appears on the body.

The Silk Industry.

The silk industry has had remark able development in the United States in recent years. In the annual review of the business by the secretary of the Silk association it is known that there are silk factories now in 230 towns ir 19 different states. the number Of es- tablishments being 750. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut lead in the manufacture of silk fabrics. Peters burg, Va, has been running silk mills for some years. We have not aeeli- mated the silkworm. but import the reeled yarn from other countries. Tn 1899 we imported 73,667 bales, worth s41, ,195, ,2O9, the average price per pound being s4.15. We export none of our fabrics, it appears. hut sell all in the home market All Americans, espe- cially the ladies. try to support in their dress their title to 5e the earth's nobility.

Much of the Gum in the States Comes
 From the Everglades.
 Florida is in fair way to become tho rival in camphor production of China, Japan and Formosa. Hereto fore the world has derived it's supplies of that gum from the countries named. but of the vast camphor forests that once existed in these regions but 8 small portion remains. This is the direct result of the wanton waste in the process practiced for obtaining the gum from the tree Camphor is usual ly obtained by boiling the chips of the wood and roots and bark in great ket. ties with water and eondensing the yo- latilized gum on rushes suspended over the kettles In this process the entire tree is cut down and even the roots dug up, but in Florida it was found that the gum could be commercially pro- duced from the leaves and twigs, sey- enty-seven pounds of which yield one pound of gum Hence the bearing tree need not be disturbed or injured in any way, as the foliage it bears is very dense and may be thinned down one- half without scarcely being noticed. The tree, besides, bears very great amount of pruning without injury. It Is an evergreen, and makes three growths year-in April, June and Oc- tober. The tree removes nothing from the soil, the gum being formed entire ly from the gases of the atmosphere, and hence the leaves, when deprived of their camphor and returned to the soil, constantly enrich the soil, which in time requires no fertilizing what ever Aside from it's commercial uses the camphor tree is one of the most ornamental ever cultivated. its beauti- ful shape being equaled by the arbor- vitae only It's lower branches lie on the ground while the top forms per feet cone The flowers are small but exceedingly pretty, while the leaves are of beautiful pale, glossy green color.

One day at Versailles, during the Franco-G erman war, Lord Odo Russell went to call on Bismarck. but found him closeted with Count Henry Arnim, who was known as the Ape" from his fantastical ways. Before long Arnim came out, flaming himself with his handkerchief and looking as if about to choke. Well" he gasped, "I can not understand how Bismarck can bear that-smoking the strongest Ha- vana in a stuffy little room. I had to beg him to open the window" When Lord Russell entered the room he found the chacellor flaming himself beside an open easement. What strange tastes some people have," he exclaimed 4Arnim has just left me, and he was so overpoweringly per- fumed that I had to open the win-. dow w''-Tit-Bits.

funds been ample, as the build

the surplus money at the time

lieve the over burdened tax
payers to some extent. If S400
or $500 of this fund could be used
to redeem our outstanding bonds,
the bond tax levy could next
year be reduced nearly half,
for we are informed that there is
at this time in the neighborhood
of 81, 300 to redeem the bonds
when they become due. The
district is bonded in the sum of
S2, 500 and the bonds are held by
L. Greene, of Clayton. with an
interest thereupon of s per cent.
per annum. The bonds run for
a period of 10 years from 1896,
and the first one becomes due
May 1st, 1901. and the other four
on the 1st day of May each year
thereafter, until all are paid.
