The visit of e. b. McClanahan to the
States for the purpose of interesting
capital in the new Wahiawa Sugar
Company at Waialua, was a success,
and according to his statements a large
amount of money will soon be invested
in the property.

return on the Australia, Il have prac-
tieally succeeded in floating the stock
ofsthe concern. 1 was able a few days
after my arrival in San Francisco to
interest capitalists and their friends
in the proposition and they agreed to
take 81, 900 worth of stock. The
property will of course have to be eX-
alnined by a special engineer and in
case his report is favorable this amount
of money will be forthcoming. Mr..

now here. | cannot say exactly when
Mr. Schussler will arrive but it will be

The success of Mr.. McClanahans trip
viii be a satisfaction to everybody.
Wahiawa was organized at the tail end
of fhe boom, when the resources of the
conntry had been expended in develop
ing other new estates, and it's success
depended upon the support of outside
capital. j. Emmeluth. DR.. Nichols and
other Honolulu men were the organiz-
ers. They put their cash into the pro-
ject but could not get enough money
in the Islands to carry it forward.
Wahiawa lands are near Waialua
plantation, and are as fine as any in the
country. The water supply is abun-
dant. Mr.. McClanahan's success means
that there is also a chance for a large
sale of Island bonds on the Coast

Was there ever a more winsome, wit

The way in which she presided at the

as her way of presenting the speakers,
"And when the pie was opened the birds be-
gan to sing"
Col. T. W. Higginson was introduced
as the great American eagle" Robert
Grant as "the mocking Bird" Mrs.

Death Of Prof. Henry A. Hazen.

The CALIFORNIAN announced last week
the serious accident to Prof. Hazen in
Washington, Jan. %, and as result of
the bicycle collision he died the following
day. AS he is quite we'll known in st.
Johnsbury our readers will be interested
in the sketch of his life.
Henry Allen Hazen was born in Serur,
India, Jan. IL, 1S49, and was the son of
Rev. Allen Hazen, the veteran mission
airy of the Vermont family of Hazens.
He was educated at St. Johnsbury Acad
envy, attending school here just after the
civil war. During vacations he spent
the time at his uncle's home in Barnet,
the father of L. D. Hazen, of St. Johns
bury. He was graduated from Dart
mouth in 1871. For the next eight
years he was instructor of drawing in
the Sheffield Scientific school, and assis
tant in meteorology to Professor Elias
LOOMS. He went to Washington on
May-1, 1881, to become computer in the
United States signal service. In October,
1887, he became one of the regular Off.
GERS of the United States weather service
and made forecasts for the whole
country. On July 1, 1891, he became
professor of meteorology of the weather
bureau.
He devised system for reducing baro-
metric observations to sea level by max
ing use of the actual readings at the base
and summit of a mountain, which was
aiterward adopted by the government
weather service. He devised form of
sling psychrometer in which two Their
mometers were joined together. With
this he showed that there was no differ
ence in evaporation from an ice and
water covered thermometer. In 1885
the Hazen thermometer shelter was
adopted by the signal service. While
with Professor LOOMS he opposed the
convection theory of storms. His studies
Of this subject were published under
title THE Tornado" He opposed the
the theories of meteorologists who held
that the air temperature at some height
above the ground in storms is relatively
lower, while in areas of high atmospheric
pressure it is relatively higher than at the
earth. This controversy was waged for
many years. In 1888 he published a
handbook meteorological tables, which
is in daily use by practical meteoroogists.
He was also a prolific writer in all de-
partments of neteorology.
For the purpose of obtaining data he
made five balloon ascensions. the first on
June "a, 1886. In the one made June z,
1887, he reached a height of 16, 900 feet
this was the highest ascent but one ever
made in this country. He always carried
on his scientific work with unusual activ-
ity, and his reputation as an investigator
was worldwide among students of the
weather.
Professor Hazen was single and lived
in Washington with a sister and two
nephews. Another sister is missionary.
