AmphibiOus Hawaiians,

In the Hawaiian islands the natives
may almost be said to be an amphibi-
Gus race of people, spending more
time on or in the water than on the
land, and where they become adopts
at swimming and playing on the water
from babyhood. The mothers take
their babies from the breast and lay
them on the surface of the water. en-
couraging them to kick about as il
lying on their mats OH shore. The
children take to the water like duck
lings, and can swim long before they
can walk; indeed, they are much fond
err of swimming than of walking, at
all ages. The tiniest mites--mere ba-
bies-carry on their games in the wa
ter, and the only assistance they make
to be initiated into the use Of tie ca
noes is an unhusked cocoanut, holding
on to which they often venture far out
into the surf.

Will Have Great Eject.
The effect of it upon the strike stu
alton will be far-reaching, and, accord
| ing to operators who were seen last
| night, it will tend to undermine the
| strength of the whole strike movement.
Since 1896 the output of these mines
has been restricted because of an
agreement entered into by the opera
tors whereby the output of anthracite
was divided after the manner of a rail-
road passenger pool traffic. according
to the following percentages: Philadel-
phia and Reading, 20.50; Lehigh VAL
ley, 1866; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 1895; Central Railroad of
New Jersey, ITO; Pennsylvania, 14O;
Delaware and Hudson, $50; and 1850
divided among other smaller produc-
erS.
Can Supply so Per Cent.
1t will be seen by these figures that
The Philadelphia and Reading obtained
by far the greatest proportion of the
output and, with the removal Of the
restriction which was imposed by the
agreement in question, it was admitted
by dealers in this city the Reading
company could easily supply at least
the requirements of this and other
eastern cities. 1t is said by those con-
versant with the existing situation that
the Reading company will not hesitate
to break the agreement. In point Of
fact, the opinion is expressed that op-
orators whose mines are closed down
are willing that the arrangement for
the time being should be set aside and
are even parties to the policy of wage
increase which has been decided
rpon.
Fuel Famine AverteS.
The motive which induces this atti-
.ude, according to report, is that the
operators who are mostly involved in
the strike are imbued with the idea
that the Readings output, supplement-
coal from other mines not yet shut
down, will serve to avert any really
marked coal famine, and that thereby
the knowledge will be impressed upon
the strikers that the anticipated scarce
tty of fuel and consequent public suf.
Fering will fail of realization.
