What Your Voice Looks Like,

To take a picture OF your voice It
is only necessary to tie sheet OF thin.
strong paper over the wide end OF tin
trumpet. Hold It with the sheet of
paper upward. take thin pinch of
fine sand and place it in the center
of the paper, hold the trumpet vertl6-
ally above your face and sing q note
into the lower end. Do not blow. bwt
sing the note. Lower the trumpet
carefully and look at the sand. You
will find that the vibrations of your
voice have scattered the pinch OF sard
into a beautiful sound picture Every
note in the musical scale will p.odure
a different picture, SO you may produr,
a great variety of them. Some OF these
pictures look like pansies, roses ard
other flowers; some look like snal,es
and others like flying birds-in fact,
there is no limit to the variation. II
you wish to see the pictures while
they are being made you may employ
tn old bell-shaped ear trumpet, or you
may use your trumpet with a short
piece of rubber tubing on the mouth

roaXed from the caneiields of Hawaii
by modern methods OF irrigation and
fertilization. His money chests are
countless acres of sugar cane, bounded
by miles of irrigating bitches and rail
way tracks. Three voyages around the
world before the mast had sharpened
his wits, taught him the value of dis
cipline and self-control and convinced
him that the sea was no place for
youth with ambition. He determined
to settle down upon the first friendly
shore which offered him shelter and
Honolulu proved to be the lucky spot.
After being shipwreckcd he was
washed up on the beach there and
there he remained and labored.
Without dollar to his name or
prospect in sight he trudged up the
beach into the town in search of work.
His frank face, earnest manner and
sturdy appearance won him n position
before the salt spray had dried upon
his scanty clothing. 1t was not much
of position, only dollar day, but
it proved an ample start for boy of
Dillingham's caliber. He went Dhout
his humble task with the same earnest
ness he afterwards displayed in hand

sluggish capital balkei at the idea as
fooihardy and impEaeticable. The Me-
Kirley bill had dealt heavy blow To
the sugar industry In Hawaii and with
thei. principal market virtually closed
to them the planters saw nothing
ahead but blue ruin.
Diilinsham's unbounjcd optimism
and pluck oyercame one obstacle after
another. and finally landed himself and
his followers Just whrr. he predicted
they should md themselves when the
task h. had outlined was accomplished.
Art-sian wells were sunk upon the
prcsen, site OF the famous Eva sugar
plantation. and water In sufficicns
abundane. for irrigation purposes was
struck. Tn. Eva company was or
saniIed and the stock noated. In
ycstors were slow In comm. to the
front. bvt Dillingham; pcfScx.scd. and
the plantation was soon frmly cstab-
lishcd. Il yielded remarkably from Its
inception. ana every on. connected
with the corporation thrived. Stock
went up and np. until II reached the
head of the list. and the name OF Dill
lin.ham was blessed. Throughout the
trials OF organization and promotion
he had carried burdens under which
less piucky and optimistic man would
have fallen. but he pioddcd on In his
own confident way. and proved the
truthfulncss of his reasoning.
With Eva prosperous Dillingham; set
about to extend his railway and de-
vclop new plantations. Oahu was
formed and launched. and became n
second Ewa. inferior only in size ana
productive capacity.
But Dillingham; was not content to
rest at Oahu. The wild and fertile
fields OF waialua were still In his path.
and to these his railway must be cS-
tended. Little time was lost In SO do
Ing. and waiaiua soon followed Eva
and Oahu Us profitable feeder for his
road.
The picturesque scenery on the sea-
shore OF Waialua tempted him to build
a hotel there. and he did so. giving
Hawaii its most attractive structure.
Just now Mr.. Dillingham; is forming
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1900-01-25

new plans for the Improvement of is
land industries. What they are he
alone knows. but 1t is safe to assert
that capital will follow his undertake
ings, so confident are those who know
him in his honesty and ability to carry
out whatever project he may contrive.
Personally Mr.. Dillingham; is the
most modest, unassuming and ap-
proachable of men. He cannot be in
duced to speak of himself or his ac-
complishments. A bit of interesting
reminiscence escapes him now and
then, but usually he talks of nothing
personal
1t required an enormous amount of
pluck to finance Hawaiian enterprises
during the interregnum succeeding the
death Of King Kalakaua, but Dilling-
hams optimism and faith in the good
intent of the United States government
never wavered and he safely piloted
his followers into safe harbors of finan-
cial ease

IRENE southern portions of the cotton belt
Is the shortness of tie cold season. IL
cannot be sown very early, else il will
joint or even head out (if not severely
graZed), before mid-winter, and when
sown late, the early heat of spring forces
the crop to quick maturity before il has
time to perfect its root growth and gather
and lay up a sufficiency of material to
perfect its seed. This is, however. not
the only reason why wheat does not thrive
in the localities manned; the characteristic
of these regions is not suited to wheat-a
plant which thrives best on a rather stiff
loan. The comparative dampnessa of these
regions is favorable to the dev elopment
OF rust, and constitutes another drawback
TO wheat growing in the coast regions.
Still, for reasons which have previously
been discussed, it is desirable to push the
growing of wheat as far South as posi-
BILE, to the extent of supplying home
needs. By selecting the stiffest clay sol Is
which are well drained manuring then
heavily, sowing early maturing varieties
least liable to attacks of rust and sowing
seed about the first of December, may
give a moderate degree of SUCCESSFUL.

Growing Potatoes.

Potatoes will grow on a great variety of
soils and produce excellent crops. but The
soil has much to do with the quality. A
soil that is full of humus will produce
large tubers in abundance, but they will
lack the quality of those that are grown
in soil that has less humus but is rich in
potash and other minerals. The volcanic
ash soils of the Pacific Slope grow some
of the finest potatoes in the world. both
in size and quality. The mineral elements
produce the splendid result The apolica-
ton of stable manure to this crop is in
advisable, for if the crop escape scab. as
the result, the quality of the tuber viii
pretty surely be injured. The following
mixture is an excellent potato fertilizer:
Muriate of potash, 400 pounds; nitrate Of
soda, $50 pounds; dried blood, 800 pounds:
line bone flour, 800 pounds; plaster. 400
pounds; salt, $50 pounds. This will con-
tain about per cent. of nitrogen, ~ per
cent. of phosphoric acid and 10 per cent
of potash. Soaking the seed in a solution
OF corrosive Misunderstanding two
ounces of the sublimate in two gallons of
water,and then adding thirteen gallons of
water-will destroy scab germs, but it will
not protest the crop from scab if ii is
grown in infected ground. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture, first when the VINES
are foot high and then three or four
times afterwards at intervals of ten days
Will practically prevent blight.
