Heat and Cold


We learned from our teachers tina,
heat is life and cold is death We have
grown up in that belief and are inclin-
ed to cling to ii, just as we are in
ciined to believe THAT the earth is round
Heat destroys all forms of germ life
at temperature of 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, therefore heat is death. Recent
experiments with liquid air have dem
onstrated beyond doubt that germs
can resist a temperature of 312 degrees
below zero. therefore cold is life. 1 be-
lieve that liquid air will enable us to
suspend indefinitely the vital functions.
DIR. A. Campbell Whites experiments
at the Vanderbilt clinic have shown
that change of 400 degrees in a local
lied part of the human body can be
made by means of liquid air without
causing localized destruction Of tissues.
1t takes only a second or two to pro-
duce the most extreme cold and a lit
tie more than that time for the part
to regain its temperature. Let us freeze
dog and see If il can be kept a week
and restored to life.
DIR. White has applied liquid air to
the tissues of the human body in the
form of spray. The skin becomes amaze
mic and perfectly white or colorless.
Within much less than a minute the
part is frozen as hard as ice, and the
circulation returns in a few minutes
without any injury to the tissues.
There is no pain in the application ex-
cept at the very beginning, when there
is slight burning or tingling LIQUID

an antiseptic. Men have been burning

Japs Becoming Beer Drinkers.

Ihe japanese are closely welded ia
their native sake, a light wine, made of
rice principally, but in which there is
~ per cent of alcohol, enough to make
the drinkers drunk, and they drink
great quantities of it. "As the con-
sumption of beer increases in Japan.
the consumption of sake decreases. but
our people are a very temperate race.
ana are not much given to intoxicants
or any kind" said a prominent manu-
iacturer from Japan the other day.
Inc drinkers of beer are largely in
creasing every year, and it would not
surprise me to see the consumption
much larger in the next few wears fo,.
where the japanese once become beer
drinkers they remain beer drinkers. All
OF our beer, as is the case with all beer
Drewed in Japan, is bottled, and good
pronts are made from it. We have

LET WILCOX ALONE.

IL is not very likely that Congress.
/ when 1t comes to dealing with Dele
gate Wilcox, will pay much attention
. to the rawlings of Celso Caesar Moreno
or TO the desire of woman who was
once the Hawaiian Delegates wife. to
even up old scores. The electoral will
of the people is not to be abridged by
caprice, by personal dislikes or by pri-
vate. enmities. Roberts case is the ex-
ception which proves the rule. He was
living in, disregard of certain laws of
his, country but even that might not
have counted at Washington, in view
or what many Congressman called ex-
tenuating circumstances, had il not
been for the monster petitions which
were rolled up against him and for the
attitude of the national press. In the
case of Wilcox there is nothing to prove
that he is living or acting in defiance
OF any Federal law and there is no pub
lie sentiment, reaching out to members
of Congress, to demand him as a vic
tim. 1t is said at Washington that Mr..
Wilcox was seditious towards the Unit
ed States in his campaign attitude here.
Certainly intimate political friends.
kaulia for example. were disloyal but
the Advertiser recalls no speech made
by Wilcox which convicts him of a
hostile attitude towards the country of
his enforced adoption. of course he is
a humbug and in some respects a
knave; but a Congress that accents a
Pettigrew in one branch and a Tam
many heller In the other cannot be fini-
cal about insincerity and want of moral
purpose.
In full understanding of the fact that
the Advertiser is accepted at Washing
ton as the chief exponent of American
sentiment here, we say that there Is no
public opinion In Hawaii favorable 70
the denial Of Mr.. Wilcox's rights as a
Delegate In Congress. We hope the
Rouse Committee on Credentials will SO
understand the fact. Though the Re-
publican and Democratic candidates
Tor Congress together polled more votes
tnan wilcox got and could have beaten
MIN under n plan of fusion. neither tbav
nor their supporters want the results
OF the ran election to be overthrovn
<Judging by mere expediency no good
fould come OF 1t; for If Wilcox shou,d
return here a martyr he would proba-
Oily be sent back to Washington with
n larger majority than was given him
before
On broad principles of policy IL is
better to let so typical a representative
OF the radical section of Hawaiian vot
ers show his hand and the hand of his
party. The official people at Washing
ton, who are trifie fanciful about Ha-
wahans. will know them better after
they have wintered with Wilcox: and If
they are to deal wisely with Hawaii in
ruture the more they learn about men
and things Hawaiian the better. VIII
cox can teach them a great deal: we
are willing that he should have a fun
term and wide latitude; he will pre-
sent contrasts which II Is well for
American statesmen to observe and his
ideas viii illuminate some fields of in
curry which men like Pettigrew have
enveloped In fog. so give him rope.
