To Our English-Speaking Friends:
The Chinese merchants and residents
Of the Hawaiian Islands, represented by
the undersigned, being ueslrous Of pro-
viding for their sons a thorough and
comprehensive education In English,
raised in pledges, from August to De-
cember, sufficient funds to Justify them
In undertaking to erect commodious
buildings for this purpose in Kamakela.
The contract was let and the main
building partially completed, when the
plague broke out and interrupted the
work. AS you we'll know. our country
men have been the greatest sufferers
from this epidemic and the fires con-
rected with 1t. Consequently, those
who generously subscribed toward the
school enterprise, being called upon to
donate large sums for the relief of their
fellow-countrymen who have suffered
severely from the fire, find themselves
unable to fulfill their pledges at pres
ent. The main building Is now On the
point of completion, and the contractor,
himself homeless, is in great need Of his
money.
In this emergency, and because we
believe you recognize that our motives
In undertaking. this enterprise were
philanthropic, our object commend

Nerves of Animals Used to Restore Mans
In a certain proportion of injuries 10
nerves the ends cannot be brought TO-
gether. and this fact in the older days
of surgery considerably perplexed sur
eeons even those who had earned ce-
lebrity. Nowadays this complexlty Is
removed. In modern surgical opera
tions. when nerve ends cannot De
brought together, it is the custom TO
obtain portion of a nerve from one
of the lower animals, or from an am
putated human limb, and transplant
it in the human body. I'm one case,
said surgeon, "a man was severely
injured in the wrist by a circular saw
and lost sensibility in the hand. A
portion of the sciatic nerve Of young
bloodhound was sewn between the ENDS
of local nerve with kangaroo tendon.
A similar operation was performed on
the ulnar nerve-that is, the nerve
which works in conjunction with the
ulna, the largest of the two bones OF
the forearm running from the wrlst TO
the elbow On the following day
distinct return of sensbility in the
thumb was found, and three months
after the operation sensibility was al
most complete l personally know OF
twenty similar cases. The time from
the injury to the operation varied from
forty-eight hours to fifteen months.
Twelve out Of the twenty were fairly
successful cases, but it is our wish to
have all thorough successes. No length
of nerve transplanted, let it be long or
short, seems to affect the continuous
sensibility which is set up after the
completion of the conjunctured nerves
What sort of animals nerves are usu-
ally required in these operations:
Well, in nine cases out Of the twenty
have told you of parts were from the
sciatic nerves of dogs, three from rab-
bits, one from kitten, and one from
the spinal cord of a rabbit, and in five
from recently amputated limbs. In one
case the whole of the sciatic nerve
which had been excised was trans
planted. In the suturing silk was useC
to unite the implanted segments OF dl
vided ends, and also kangaroo tendon
No case recovered entirely, but gener
ally the cases were very much i'm
proved, and will be found lasting. -

JupIter,a swift Moon.

A new computation Of the period OF
the fifth satellite of Jupiter, discov-
cred by Mr.. Barnard in 1892, shows the
extreme accuracy Of astronomical cal
culations when they are based upon a
long series of continuous observations
This computation deals very confident
ly with thousandths of a second, the
period of the little moon being set
down at II hours, 81 minutes, 22 Sec
ond and 6471.00 Of a second The
satellite whose time of revolution is
thus accurately determined moves
with great speed. It's distance from
Jupiter's center is about 1850 miles,
and its path is practically a circle, so
that the distance which it travels dur
ing revolution is, in round numbers,
359,250 miles. AS it accomplishes this
distance in less than twelve hours, its
velocity is almost 500 miles in a min
ute, and this, singularly enough, is
about the same as the average velocity
Of Jupiter in his revolution around the
sun.

A MEXICAN Bean cLocr..



by an Ingenious Jeweler.
few wears ago public curiosity
was excited by the curious beans
called the devil beans of Mexico,
which shopkeepers placed in their
windows. They somewhat resemDlea
roasted coffee beans in shape ana
color. They were also known as the
Jumping beans" owing to the TACT
that from time to time they maze
spasmodic movements which propelled
them quite little distance. the
beans grew on small bush in the
Mexican mountains, and 1t Is con-
iectured that they belonged to the Or
der euphorbiaceae. The bean really
consisted of three similar pods when
formed single bean. 1t Is usually
third of the bean which was exhibited
as a curiosity. On opening the pod II
was found that it contained small
larva, something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. 1t is this little
occupant which gives motion to the
bean by its jerks and thumps against
the side of its home. If the bean is
slightly warmed it begins to turn
from side to side, and perhaps with a
sudden thump turns completely over
and stands on one end, and then by
successive jumps moves quite a DIS
lance. Those who are not in the Sc
cret are often greatly puzzled by this
strange beam An enterprising jew
eler devised scheme of utilizing
them to make a magic clock. He ac-
complished this by initiating the shape
of two of the beans, making the
dummy beans out of soft iron. One
he gilded and the other he silyered.
The prepared iron beans were placed
with the ordinary jumping beans on
thin white piece of pasteboard, out
lined and numbered like the dial of a
clock, but devoid of hands The
dial was located over the works OF
large clock which was placed face
upward on the floor of the store win
dow. He fastened small magnets to
| the ends of the hands The works
were of course carefully hidden from
view All that was in evidence was
the cardboard clock dial and the
jumping beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the cardboard
over the concealed hands with the
magnets attached The magnets were
moved by the hands of the clock SC
that they were almost in contact with
the cardboard. AS they moved around
they carried the iron beans with them
thus telling the time Of day, and the
public was greatly interested by the
intelligence shown by the two beans
which distinguished them from Their
lively associates.-Scientific Ameri-

A Surprised Bisbop.

From the Washington Post: That
makes me think of a story Bishop
Huntington told on himself during one
of his last visits to Washington. The
good bishop, it seems, once went down
to town in Connecticut to perform
a marriage ceremony. He arrived the
day before the wedding, and he left at
the same time the bridal pair did, al
though he was driven to a different
railway station. AS he passed through
the station, carrying his travelling bag,
he was aware that he was creating a
sensation, but was totally at loss to
account for 1t. In the car he found
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat, and finally
as the train drew out he came up and
assisted the churchman to remove his
overcoat. What is the matter with
you, my MANI" asked the bishop. The
porter's smoker broadened into a
laugh. "Ain't you done left the lady,
sah2" he chuckled. "Eh?" exclaimed
the bishop in surprise Then his eye
fell on the side of his travelling bag,
which the porter had just turned
round. There glued to it was wide
strip of white satin ribbon, on which
was painted in large letters Married
this morning" The facetiously mind
ed best man had mistaken the blsh-
ops travelling bag for that of the
bridegroom, and a chuckling black por-
ter worked late into the night remov-
ing that ribbon.
