D)AVEMENTS AS RADIATORS.

An Item in the latest budget of tele-
grams about the frying of an egg on
the washington pavement during a hot
DAY OF mid-August, contains a state
ment that Is of value to this city now
that modern street paving is proposed.
IL appears that, when the culinary ex-
pertinent was made. the mercury out
side drug store, the proprietor of
which supplied the egg, stood at 100
degrees fahrenheit, but the asphalt
pavement. at the same time. registered
$50 degrees. Does 1t not follow, there
fore. that asphalt, heated to such
Intensity and acting as a radiator. must
greatly increase the summer tempera-
ture OF a city in which 1t is laid? Is It
not supposable that II Washington had
some other kind of pavement, incapable
OF retaining solar heat, a temperature
OF 20-degrees in the shadeless open air
would probably never be reached? II
we admit the reasonableness of this
view then we must regard with suspi-
cion any attempt to pave the streets of
tropical city like Honolulu with as
phalt or any kindred substance. 1t Is
hot enough here now; let us not try to
make 1t any hotter by artificial means.
The Advertiser admits that some
strong pavement for the business dis
trict will be called for when traffic in
lcreases. 1t ought to be durable, noise
ess and reasonably cool under the YER
-ical sun. Judging by the experience Of
sydney we believe that eucalyptus
blocks are nearer the right thing than
itnything so far proposed. Set in the
manner described in a recent issue of
his paper they wear long and well.
nd cannot radiate enough heat to
make any appreciable difference in the
temperature.
Before ever going into asphalt or
itumen contracts the Department OF
'ublic Works would do we'll to look at
he matter on the climatic side and see
Fhether 1t is not possible. by adopting
ne Sydney plan, to get the pavement
est suited to local conditions.

THE JAPANESE SOLDIER.

Such dispatches as these are becom-
ing common: Great confusion yester-
day attended the advance Of the allied
troops with the exception of the Japan
ese.'" The exception is getting COM
mon enough to become the rule, for
wherever the Japanese army is placed
it shows discipline, a readiness and a
dash which might well be the envy OF
the Germans themselves.
There are good reasons why the jap
anese should take foremost place
among the soldiers of the world. To
begin with they have fanatical pa
trfotism. No people reverence their
flag or sovereign more or will sacrifice
so much for the honor or glory of the
commonwealth. Their courage under
fire is of the kind that does not value
life if there is a chance to win some
thing for Japan by laying it down. In
the war of 1S94-5 there was not de-
serter or a straggler; not a soldier ran
though his comrades were falling all
about him; and there was one typical
/ case where forty men attacked the ad-
vance guard of the Chinese army, 5000
1 strong. and held their ground until help
arrived.
/ Discipline is an inherited trait. In
/ the old days there were lords and vas
\ sails in Japan and the vassals gave i'm
plicit obedience to the lords. Now the
! common people in the army serve their
4 officers in the same way. There Is no
| thought of INSTRUMENTATION; the letter
of the order is observed. Hence when a
Japanese army moves it goes as a ma
chine. AS such it is absolutely guided
bv one man and he a military expert
whose training has been had in the best
foreign schools.
The Japanese soldier can march
1 further and on smaller rations than
any other soldier and is not impeded
by long baggage trains. For centuries
the Japanese have zen pedestrians.
walking from place to place all over
the empire. You can hire a 'rickshaw
man who will draw you in his two
wheeled gig ten miles at trot; two oil
them together will make thirty miles
Meanwhile these coolies viii subsist on
a trihe of rice. 1t is no trouble at all
for a Japanese. soldier to pack three
weeks rations on his back, for they
consist of nothing but compressed rice
and tea; and then to march all day at
lope.
Given patriotism, courage, endurance
discipline and mobility. modern arms
and equipments, warlike lineage, an
eagerness to be classed with the white
races, educated officers and general
staff that works out problems as surely
and infinitely as did that of Germany
in the time of Won Moltke, and we have
the ideal army. Such is the military
(and navaD establishment of Japan dnC
the world is now learning, what every
observer of the war of 1S94-95 has al
ways insisted upon, that the Japanes'
are capable of matching themselve'
with the worlds most boosted soldiery
1t will be wise for the Russians to lie
them alone; and possible good result
of the present concert of action befor'
Picking is that the Russians may fine
IL out in time.

PART OF HIS EAR GONE
a Bandman Believes That it Was
Bitten Off.

Palikapu. a native who plays the cor
net in the Hawaiian band and Is one of
the members Of the original Qu!ntette
Club, lost piece of his ear in a fight
at his home in Honuakaha on Saturday
night and he believes that 1t was bitten
Off. Three men are under arrest at the
Police Station charged with completely
in the affair. Palikapu states that on
Saturday crowd of men came to his
house. 1t was late but as he knew one
of them he invited them in. They were
from the water front and were some
what under the influence of liquor.
After time they began to quarrel.
He stepped in between them and at
that moment the light was thrown over
and extinguished. Some one fell on him
and a few moments later he felt blood
trickling down his neck and he found
that part of his ear was gone. He was
not certain whether it was bitten off or
had been cut off by a broken bottle
which was on the floor of his room but
he reported the case to the police and
several of the party were arrested and
held on the charge of mayhem.

As to Good Water.

Editor Advertiser: Good water is a ne
cessity to every biped, quadruped, well
as to birds of the air. Many diseases are
communicated through drinking unclean
or stagnant water. This hardly needs
discussion to prove it, as all the civilized
nations of the earth use boiled water for
the use of marines as well as soldiers.
How shall we of Honolulu get it? First,
surface water examined skillfully by
Drs. Day and Howard during cholera
times, was declared unhealthy unless fill
tered. DR.. Wood, who accompanied Dr.
Day In examining into the water sys-
tenn of Hongkong, proposed a similar
gravity system for the water of Nuuanu.
j. S. Emerson, C.E., after carefully sur
veying and levelling to ascertain the facts,
In 1859, advised taking Manoa water as
well as Nuuanu, and have a common res
ervoir on Punchbowl hill crater Evident
Tly there would be a saving expense in
such a system, as far as il would go.
PCmping artesian well water has solved
the difficulty for the present But accord
Ing to the report of c. j. Lyons. the water
OF the artesian wells is gradually dimin-
ishing. Hence 1t would be wise to use
surface water as far as 1t will go.
Our worthy Superintendent of Water
works has drawn all that he could as far
as appropriations would permit to rene
dy the shortage. Yet economy in the use
of water should be practiced by US of Ho-
nolulu. We have often been too lavish
In its use, suffering it to run through tor
layer of the soil into the black sand. which
carries Ii to the ocean, II Is said.
Honolulu has another opportunity tc
have a park within the limits of the
burnt Chinatown. May we not improve
the chance which We may not have FOL
generation to come?
