MEMORANDA.

Three mail steamers, the Australia
Hongkong Maru and Warimoo arriv
ing during the night made lively times
along the water front today.
The steamer Bloemfontein has locked
at Irmgard wharf to discharge.
The passengers arriving and leaving
by the steamer America Maru had some
weary waits yesterday, as well as some
lively experiences getting to and from
the steamer. The Honolulu passengers
began to appear on Liliilike wharf at
eight o'clock in the morning, while
those who were waiting to greet friends
or relatives coming from the steamer
were on hand as early as seven. The
old scow was brought into requisition
and steamed it's weary way to the stea-
mer outside of the harbor, to get news
papers and passengers, while other
would-be passengers waited on the
wharf. 1t was over two hours before
she got back and then there were no
passengers on board. There was a howl
from the waiting friends and relatives,
but it was no use and they went away
to come back after the scow had made
another trip. The passengers from Ho-
nolulu were put aboard by half past
eleven and the scow started back to the
Pacific mail wharf with the new ar
rivals, getting to the wharf at half past
twelve. The scow was subjected to a
good deal of joshing from those on
board the big steamer who didn't seem
to be much impressed with Honolulu S
preparedness to cope with the quaran-
tine difficulties One passenger came
back in a small boat towed by the scoW
and was taken to the steamer Claudine

on all sailing charts since the year 1925.
For more than seventy years there has

HAWAIIAN REGISTRY.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-Senator
Nelson's attempt to include in the gen.
eral Hawaiian bill, which passed the
Senate today, a provision extending the
navigation laws of the United States to
the Islands, failed when Senator Gull
lOm withdrew the proposed amendment
at the instigation of Senator Petit
grew. Under the amendment, seven
vessels that were granted Hawaiian
registry after annexation and sup
posedly for the purpose of coming I'M
der the American flag with the rest of
the Hawaiian merchant marine, We're
not disseminated against, although the
Committee on Commerce had reported
adversely on such action as contem
plated in a separate bill.
The vessels are owned by j. j. Moore
IL Co., John Rosenfeld's Sons and Cap
tain William Matson, all of San Fran
cisco. They are the Star of Italy Star
Of Russia Star of Bengal, Star OF
France, Euterpe, Falls of Clyde and
Willscott. 1t is said that the owners
complied with the Hawaiian laws prior
| to January, 1899. The difficulty arises
from the fact that the Islands were
| annexed in July, 1898, and were not
eligible to American registry. When
the matter was called to the attention
of Attorney-General .Griggs he decided
1t was against the policy of the United
States, and further granting of Ameri-
can registry to vessels of Hawaiian
registry was prohibited. It is now said,
however, that the Hawaiian bill will be
so amended in the House as to permit
all vessels now flying the Hawaiian
flag, including the seven named above
! to secure American registry and that
the amendment will be agreed to when
the bill goes eventually to the confer
ence committee of the two houses

Lord Whitney wrote to disclaim that he

ant visit to the Great
Desert.

traveller from the Sahara desert
has just returned to Washington with
500 young date palms which will be
planted in Arizona, many parts of
which have climate similar to North
Africa and Arabia. He found the
nights pleasant on the sandy desert,
there being often a difference of 60
degrees between noon and midnight.
The sirocco, or hot wind and sand
storm, made the days unbearable,
but the nights were wonderful-cool,
clear and MINDLESS and filled with far
stars. He travelled at night, and the
long caravan of which he and his
baggage was a part swung silently
along in the shadow of. the sand
dunes. The Arab guides steered their
way by the stars.
This traveller witnessed the mag
nificent rising of the sun over the
limitless waste of glittering sand,
rocky heaps and promontories and
clustered plumes of date palms that
rose from green oases. where gay
tents sheltered bands of Bedcuins
and their focks and herds of sheep
and camels. In such places as these
he visited during the day and was
served with goats milk and bread and
dates and good mutton and Arabian
coffee. 1t was all so like story book
that he was afraid he would wake up
sometimes and find it was all dream.

Coal In the Rockies.

Hy far the most important mining
work in progress in British Columbia
is the opening up of the vast areas
of the Crows Nest-undoubtedly one
of ;he largest coal properties known.
The measures occur in the heart of
the Rockies and extend north and
south distance of 40 miles, stretch
ing east and west ten miles from the
banks of the Elk river toward the
boundary line between Alberta and
British Columbia. The area is, of
course, reduced by the creeks which
abound on the mountain slopes and
from which the coal measures have
been eroded. but sufficient remains to
constitute the coal fields, unique in
extent as they are in richness.

WHAT THE TOURISTS SPEND.
Many Millions of Dollars Are Left
Annually in Switzerland and
the Riviera.

An astonishing contrast is apparent
in the sums of money spent by the
average visitor to these two world
famous pleasure resorts, says the
New York World. In the season of
1898 about 100000 tourists visited
Switzerland. They paid to the land
lords of 1,S00 hotels and inns lit
tie less than $25,OOO,OO0 The aver
age hotel bill was, therefore, only
about 81. In addition to this, about
$6,000,OOO was expended for trinkets
and mementoes.
These two items, in addition to
comparatively small outlay for horses
and carriages, form the principal
means of subsistence of the vast num-
ber of people whose livelihood is de-
pendent on the natural features of
the playground of Europe"
The figures for the Riviera are very
different. In the first place, sea-
sons visitors are not to be reckoned
by millions. A recent estimate puts
the annual number at 27O,0O0, of
whom $4,000 were English and 10000
Americans, and the money expended
at about $6o,0OO,OOO, or 1925 for the
average visitor.

TESLA ON w1LLoT's THEORY.
Says That the Idea of the French
man Is Not New-Earth Acts
Like Wire.

Nikola Tesla was seen the other
morning in reference to the statements
of the French electrician, NJ Willot
who said that electrical messages are
transmitted through the earth. not
through the air. NJ. Wiilot holds that
the ether wave theory has been dis
proved. and that conduction through
the earth is the real means of trans
mission. In his practice NJ. Willot
means apparently to use deep shafts
as starting stations. transmitting his
currents through different geological
strata, suited by their density to cur
rents of different intensity.
The idea of the French engineer is
not novel" said Mr.. Tesla. "lle pro-
poses to transmit through the ground.
connecting the transmittcr at two
points at different depths. The amount
of energy so transmitted TO a distance
is limited. and much more can be con
veyed by simply connecting the trans.
mitter to two distant points of the
earth's surface. The latter scheme is
much nearer perfect than that FRO
posed by the French engineer. But
far more energy can he transmitted
to distance by merely connecting one
pole of the transmitter to he ground
and the other TO a metallic plate or
wire elevated above ground. That the
earth acts entirely like an ordinary

producing stationary electrical waves.
