A PRORARLE REASON.

Physicians in South Africa, says a
press report, now have another theory
for explaining away the charges made
by both Briton and Boer that the other
is using explosive bullets. The extern
sive laceration often found in bullet
wounds is now said to be due to the air
which the bullet drives before it as 1t
enters the wound. THE existence of
this phenomenon can be easily proven.
If a round bullet be dropped into glass
of water from the height of few feet
il will be seen that when the bullet
touches the bottom a large bubble will
become detached and rise to the sur
face. In this case the bubble Will usu-
ally be from ten to twenty times the
size of the bullet. Now, a Maussr
bullet travelling at high speed is said
to carry before II a bubble of compress
ed air of large dimensions. Experiments
made by a surgeon who fired pistol
ball into glass of water showed the
bubble to be one hundred times the size
of the ball. From the appearance Of the
wounds and from these experiments 1t
Is concluded that the mass of air driven
by a Mauser bullet eXplodes in the
body of the wounded man with suffic-
lent force to cause extensive laceration.
This destructive bubble is well known
to surgeons under the name of proJec-
tile air"

THE DEADLY PINE.

ut is a notorious fact" says the Ma

considered the least healthy of all the

who know anything about the matter.
The Juice of the green and growing

generally with being a blood poison of
most deadly nature. 1t is said to be
the substance with which the Malays

EXECUTIVE CONSIDERS SUNDAY
REGULATIONS.
Action of Police Yesterday in stopping
Business Brings Up the Matter
Rules TO be Modified.

The heads of the departments this
morning discussed with Governor Dole
the old blue laws of hawaii, which
were put into force yesterday, to the
Inconvenience and evaporation of
many people. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the body that the sale of
soda water and other necessities on
Sunday should not be restricted. At
tention was called TO a clause of the
blue laws" which provides that in
their enforcement the public comfort
should be considered. OFF hand this
was considered authority for meeting
the requirements of the moment, but
the Government was not sufficiently
clear on the matter to reach a positive
expression. The Attorney General was
requested to file an opinion in regard
thereto.
The blue laws" were enforced yes
terday because there has for some time
been an agitation for the strict en-
forcement of all laws; and, second, be-
cause the legislature will soon meet and
| it was desired to show the law makers
| just how these particular regulations
work under the changed conditions.
During yesterday there was an i'm
mense amount of kicking. This came
largely from people wanting soda
water fruits, cigars and the like.
None were to be had anywhere.
All of the day the city was dead
1t worse was the presense of 100 SOL
diers in town with no where to go, no
thing to do and hardly even drink
| of cold water in sight. During the one
hour in the morning that the drug
| stores kept open their fountains were
surrounded by dozens and hundreds of
soldiers clamoring for sode water Com
plants filled the town, but nothing
could be done. At evening the drug
stores reopcned. They were ordered
by the police to close but refused. say
ing that they would test the matter in
the courts. Hebron set this ball in
motion" by telephoning the other drug
gists. I'VE have our Sunday hours and
plenty of bail money" was the effect of
the answer from Benson, Smith & Com
pany.
Manager Ludwigsen, of Hart & Com
pany's, refused to close. Lycurgus, pro-
pritor of the Grill also told the police
that he would fight the law. The Chi
nese restaurants did not have so much
grit and closed
In the face of this state of things,
and in view of the city being full of
soldiers, High Sheriff Brown, late in the
| evening, gave orders that the restaur-
ants should be allowed to keep open
this Sunday but that next Sunday they
should close
The subject reached the Executive
during the day 1t was the one topic
engaging attention this morning. No
| thing else was considered. Though no
action was taken it is safe to say that
before next Sunday comes around there
will be as much modification of yester-
days rule as is possible under the law.

POISONOUS GAS.
Danger From the Illuminant in Ameri-
can Cities.

Danger From the Iluminant in Ameri-
can Cities.
The change in the composition of il
Eliminating gas during recent years, it
is believed by the Hospital, should Gre
ate anxiety in regard to it's influence
on public health because of the con-
siderable amount Of carbonic oxide
which is now SO often mixed with it.
Gas, as it Is called" says this paper,
has always been more or less poison
Gus, but only by virtue of one constit-
uent, namely, carboniC oxide, which in
old days, wnen gas was the unadulter-
ated product of the distillation of coal,
was present only in small proportions,
say about Z per cent. Nowadays, how
ever gas companies do not hesitate in
an emergency, to mix very large guam
titles of this poisonous compound with
their coal gas, and to send it out to
their customers without a word of
arning, while some companies habitu-
ally send out a compound containing
over so per cent of carbonic oxide. So
far we have not much proof of many
deaths having been caused by this COM
pound in England but in America,
where they have a longer experience in
its use, the danger has been shown to
he very considerable. In a paper on
the subject, read by DR.. Haldane before
lHe oOclely OF Meulcal CtucCfS oil
Health, he puts the matter in a some
what striking form when he says that
the total death rate from poisoning Of
every kind in this country, whether by
gases, liquids, or solids, and whether
accidental or suicidal, is only about half
the average death rate from water-gas
poisoning alone in Boston, New York
San Francisco and Washington We do
not think, however, that the evil conse-
quences arising from the inhalation Of
water-gas ought to be measured eXclu-
sively by deaths: even in non-fatal
doses carbonic oxide is definitely dele
ferrous to health, and not improbably,
considering the leaky condition of many
gas pipes, is an active cause of many
mysterious maladies which are only re-
lieved by change of air"

Commandant Tilley Proclaims Laws for
American Tutuila.

In accordance with the powers con-
ferred on him, COmmandant Tilley has
issued proclamations concerning the
new laws to be enforced at Tutuila The
commandant is the maker of the laws.
Native customs, as far as not conflict
ing with United States laws, are TO be
preserved. The islands are divided into
three districts-two in Tutuila and one
in Manua, with a native governor IN
each district Governors are to hold Of
flee alta the pleasure of the COmman-
dant. Under the governors are district
judges and village magistrates, who are
to hold office for a year. The comman-
dant controls all appointments and to
his high court there is an appeal from
the district and village judges. Duties
remain the same as under the Berlin
treaty as far as specific duties go, with
the exception that the export tax on
copra is abolished AID valorem duties
are raised to ten per cent. Importation
of arms and ammunition is prohibited.
Page Page is made the port of entry;
alterations of land by natives is for
hidden, but lands can be leased for
forty years with the consent of the
commandant. Mr.. Il. w. Gurr, solicit
tor, formerly of Apia, who appeared for
Malietoa at the late kingship trial, has
been appointed secretary of native af-
fairs and will reside at Page Page. This
appointment is exceedingly popular
with Tutuilans, who, to a man, were on
Malietoa's side.

The Rigors of Bisotry Soften Unde,
General Enlightenment.
Within hundred years the meth
DDS of church administration and work
have changed materially. 1t has not
been a change involving catastrophe,
but one OF growth. Consider the single
item of church music. Wellnigh the
distance of a diameter lies between
the church music of the beginning and
the end Of the century. Recall the dis
NAL hymns, lined out to more dismal
tunes. and the dreary fugues, as dull
and involved as an Indian dance. Our
fathers did not rise up on a certain
day and say, "Henceforth we are done
with them!" But as the musical Gull
tivation of the people advanced.
church music perforce shared in the
general movement 1t Is sadly true
that bigotry has succeeded in holding
the church pretty steadily to the rear
Of the advancing column, but no in
stitution can live wholly outside its
own generation. The bigotry which
has piously shut the best music out o,
the cnurch Is survival or that
asceticism which nipped. like killing
frost, everything vernal in the religi-
Gus life, But as the rigors of bigotry
have softened in the growing warmth
of general enlightenment, and the love
and culture of music nave steadily ad-
vanced, the church has quietly drop
ped its old methods. and has uncon-
sciously taken on the new. until to-
day 1t may be truthfully said that the
best music OF the world is laid under
tribute for church services. Even the
wicked music of the heels is sometimes
so judiciously Slowed up" and sub
dued in color. and punctured with
solemn pauses. that staid deacons de-
corously. innocently pace to their
pews to strains from an opera.-Har
