STAR MAIL ROUTES.
Similar to Rural Delivery-Many Bid
ders Expected.

ueTS Expected.
Considerable inquiry has already been
made concerning the star mail routes
which the postoffice department intends
to install in the Islands. Inspector
Flint is very hopeful over the outlook
and thinks that little difficulty will be
experienced in securing reputable and
competent bidders. The people do not
fully appreciate the value of these star
routes and rural delivery of mail. In
Colorado the routes have been found
to be of such advantage that the sys-
tenn in that state has been extended
in all directions. 1t was further found
that route of this character had an
influence upon the price of land for
property along these routes increased
in some instances IS an acre, a raise in
value which was due solely to the in
stallation of the mail service.
While a star route partakes some
what of the character OF the rural de-
livery there is considerable difference
between them. The carrier of a star
route is not permitted to leave the di-
rect roads, while in the delivery of a
rural route the carrier visits every
house within a radius of several miles
along his course. People residing ad-
Jacent to a star route can have their
mail delivered by the carrier, if they
will place a mail box along the side of
the road; otherwise they viii have to
depend upon regular rural service or
the slow distribution in the nearest

Studies of the zodiacal light made at

British navy, to remark that the air
over the Pacific Ocean appears clearer
and better adapted for celestial obser-
walton than that lying over the Allan
tic Ocean. Honolulu is admirably situ-

Chinese Inquests.

Coroners inquests are well known
among the Chinese. One of the cher
differences between their system and
ours is that the Chinese doctors never
dlssect. In fact, Cinnamon have per-
feet horror of dissection.
There are few things more absurd
than the code of rules laid down FOL
the Chinese coroner. In the first place.
he is hidden TO make sure that he mas
a dead body before he begins his in
quest. That. however, is less ridlcu'
lous than 1t sounds, for the heather
Chinee Is tricky and may demand an
inquest on a sham deceased with a
view of extorting money from some
person who may be denounced as nav
ing caused the death.
The preposterOus part or the cooe
comes in with regard TO the alleged
signs which show the cause OF death
If the deceased is supposed 10 nave
been poisoned, rice is put into his mouth
and then taken out and given TO a
chicken. Its effect on the fowl decides
the question. Most of the other meth
ODDS adopted are even more absurd and
fanciful. and, as a result, inquests in
China do very little TO prevent crime
