band Of dried deerskin, studded with
the claws of a grizzly bear. The good
Indians wife is seated by the side OF
the basket, and is busily engaged in
weaving another basket. The next OBJ

stares SO sternly at the camera from its
little wicker cradle. On the left of the
baby is a basket made by a squaw OF
the Maricopa tribe, and shows some
of the ornamental work that is clever

people. Farther to the left Is the
family pestle and mortar used for
pounding grain. The family is shell

DESIGNED TO KILL INSECTS.

cut has been designed especially to
combat this pest, as well as to destroy
other insects which move about at
night. 1t is we'll known that moths
and other insects are attracted by a
light shining out of the darkness, and
it is this fact hat William Hill Morgan
of Kentucky, makes use Of in his trap,
which consists of a light inclosed in
a metallic hood and provided with a
reflector and glass face, the latter be-
ing set in a slanting position. The
lamp is attached to one edge of the
tray containing a mixture Of kero-
sene oil and water, and the angle of
the glass in front of the light cause
the insects to fall into the liquid when
they strike against the smooth sur
face. With a number of these traps
set at the sides of a field a short dis
lance above the plants the inventor
claims that the injurious moths and
other insects will exterminate them
selves without the trouble of searching
for them.

When great scientists drop their
dignity and resume the sport of child
hood they are apt to introduce some
improvement. This has been done in
the boyish pastime of blowing soap
bubbles. Some English physicist took
up the matter, and found that the
youngsters were right in preferring
clear honey soap to other kinds for
making bubbles. The true reason lay in
the fact that the favorite soap con-
tanned a trifie more glycerine than 9TH
er popular brands. A number of ex-
periments disclosed the proportion of
glycerine in soap in order to obtain
the best results. With this combination
the gray-haired scientists blew bub-
bles two and three feet in diameter,
and one of them is said to have had
a wild enthusiastic audience OF little
children, who sat watching him for an
hour or more.
The Investigations have utilized by
several e~nterprising ~soap-boilers, who
now turn out soap-bubble soap. With
this a three-year-old can make bubbles
as large as himself. Not only are the
iridescent spheres large than usual,
but they last longer. When launched
carefully from the end of the pipe they
will float from two to three times as
long as do those made from ordinary
soaps. A very pretty experiment is to
blow a bubble with cigar or cigarette
smoke instead of the natural breath.
The glycerine gives a play of rainbow
color on the surface of the bubble, and
the space within being rendered
opaque by the cigar fumes, the entire
effect is that of a giant pearl floating
in the air.
If a few drops of any essential oil,
such as violet, Glove, or geranium, is
stirred into the lather the particles
will be separated, and, on account of
the soap and ~glycerine, will not segre-
gate upon the surface, as they do on
water. A bubble blown under these
circumstances communities the drops
of oil to almost inconceivable small
ness, and when the bubble finally
breaks the oil is sprayed in every di-
rection more finely than by the best
atomizer. A single large bubble launch
ed in this way will fill a parlor or
drawing room with an invisible film
of perfume, which will last for twenty
four hours.

A CODE -rYpEwRfrER.

"A OODG GA@
The New York Commercial gives
the following account of a wonderful
adaptation of the typewriter to the
purposes Of cipher code work which
has been made by George G. Dickens
derfer of Stamford, Conn: For hun
Greds of years the brightest minds OF
all civilized countries have been
working to perfect a cipher code that
could not be solved, and at the same
time might be readily translated. This
government has spent thousands OF
dollars to perfect each of the various
codes used by the different depart
ments, and yet what has been spent by
this country is very small compared
with the vast sums spent by European
governments to obtain cipher systems
which would defy the ingenuity of the
sharpest spies in the world. Probably
the most complicated code used by the
United States is the naval code, and
the secret of this code is guarded as
nothing else is guarded. All the code
books for the use of officers are bound
in lead so that in case of possible &C
cident or capture they can be thrown
OFO UOdlQs WAOA lAO Mo14O was jul
at Havana the whole naval department
was in a state of the widest alarm
until a diver found the code book in
the captains cabin. During all the Chi
nese troubles there was a constant fear
lest the Chinese government had OBJ
tanned a copy of Minister Conger's
code and was translating his messages.
The government codes are so compl1-
Gated that when a message is received
it takes hours of work to make a trans
lation of it, and yet with all the pre-
cautions that can be taken, there is
always the possibility that they may
be a slip some place and that the
code may fall into outside hands.
Very soon, however, the old clum-
sy codes used by the different govern
ments and the cipher codes Of COM
merce will be largely a thing of the
past. A simple little typewriter-the
most simple ever made, and at the
same time the most wonderful-will
cause all the lead-covered books to be
heaved into the sea and revolutionize
the method of transmission of all mes
sages which must be secret. The won
uSTIul new machine is the 1uN6AIlOH VI
George G. Blickensderfer, and it is the
result of nine years constant work and
study. In his office at Stamford, Conn,
the inventor showed the machine to be
a representative of the Commercial.

machine, according to the letters on
the outside dial:

STRICT BAN PUT
UPON RABBITS
Jared Smith Notified That Austral.
ian Animals Are Less Danger
Gus Than From States.

Prince Cupids pets sent to Honolulu
from Australia may remain in the ISL
ands and the bond upon which they
are now held in custody by him will be
exonerated. In letter received Satur-
day by Jared Smith from Washington,
the desired permission is given, though
the Department of Agriculture intends
to discourage the importation of all
animals or birds likely to be liberated
and refers particularly to the "Califor-
mia linnet or house finch, the English
sparrow. rabbits and other rodents"
The English sparrow is already in the
islands, as is also the rabbit, and con-
sequently they cannot be sent out again
but any further attempt to bring in
rabbits or animals of that nature will
be promptly stopped.
The opinion in reference to these ques-
tons was written by DIR. T. S. Palmer,
assistant chief of the Biological Survey
of the Department OF Agriculture at

that consignments of birds and animals
which are to be kept in captivity may
| be admitted and on this ruling. the
| later conSignments of Prince Cupid of
kangaroos will also be released from
bond, also the laughing jackasses sent
to Fred Wundenherg. In case of doubt
regarding the admission of birds and
animals, which may come within the
provisions of the act, DIR. Palmer adj
yises that Henry w. Henshaw be con-
suited, and that his advice be followed
! by Mr. Smith. Mr. Henshaw was for
merly chief of ethnology at the Smith
sonian Institute. Washington, D. c..
and DR.. Palmer highly compliments
him, stating that he has wide knowl-
edge of such matters, and that it will
be safe to follow his recommendations.
Mr.. Henshaw is now at Hilo.
The following extract taken from the
letter received Saturday refers to the
| importation of birds and animals:
1.-The fifteen weaver birds and the
two tree kangaroos to which you refer
can be admitted without much danger.
I'm general 1 would suggest that you
admit consignments of birds which are
to be kept in captivity, as we'll as ami
mails intended only for exhibition pur-
poses. SO far as possible importers
should be discouraged from bringing in
birds or animals which are likely to
be Iiberated-especially the California
Iinnet or house-finch, the English spar
row, rabbits and other rodents. It may
not be feasible under the present law
to re-export or destroy these species,
when imported from San Francisco or
other Pacific ports, SO they should be
kept out if possible, as there is more
danger in their introduction than in
that of many species from the Orient
and Australia"

next Wednesday, October 9Th, at p. m.
Miss Lewis is especially well fitted
for lecture work, from her specialization

her Alma Mater and in her graduate
study in American universities. Last
winter Miss Lewis Iectured before wo-

Miss Mary Elizabeth Lewis gave the
last of her course of four lectures Thurs
day afternoon. She was greeted each
afternoon by large audience, which
filled the spacious parlors in which the
lectures were held.
She delighted those who heard her by
her charming personality. and the beauty
of the language in which she clothed
her clear and well connected thoughts.
In her first lecture, on George Eliot
and Her Masterpiece" Miss Lewis prov
ed herself possessor of a rare faculty of
Interpretation.
In the second lecture, Wordsworth
