THE FISHERIES SOCIETY. gFFp

There is no reason for any one to be-
lieve. as a contemporary assumes to
do, that the new society for the pro-
lection of the fisheries has private
axes to grind. The man who circulat-
ed the paper organizing the society,
Mr. Allan Herbert, is noted for his pub
lie spirit and those who met with him
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms the
other day proposed nothing beyond
laws prohibiting the SEEMING of min
nows and creating a fish hatchery,
both measures being desirable from the
point of view of those who want to
make sea-food abundant and cheap.
1t is a gratuitous slur to say or to
hint that Mr.. Herbert and his associ-
ates want to induce Congress to pre-
serve the system of exclusive fishing
rights which has so long been an un-
jury to the many and a source of profit
to the few. Against such rights Mr..
Herbert has written and talked for
years; and when Congress interfered
with them he was among the first to
congratulate the Hawaiian people. And
it Is largely in their interest that he
and his friends are working now. He
and they want to stop the ruthless de-
more the sea banks and interior waters
may TEEN with big fish, thus reducing
the cost of living and adding to the
available food resources.
Such a motive deserves the support
and encouragement of the press; not
its cynical disparagement.

finally set at 100000, 900. Then followed
the winnowing of the chaff. Many har-
bors and rivers had to be ignored al
together. For others there was a lin
tied sum set apart, and in few instances
the amount recommended was placed
I in the draft of the bill. 1t took three
weeks to have the hearings which were
forced upon the committee. The chair
man and members of the subcommittee
on the bill worked every night till
midnight and often, especially toward
the completion of the measure, until 3
or o'clock.
Finally what was thought to be the
bill was drawn. But when 1t was to-
, tailed by the clerk it was found that
the amount appropriated was nearly
$50, 100000 This meant that there
should be scaling of some $20000,00
and that after the entire matter had
been gone over with fine toothed
comb. But it was imperative. That
time it was time for the cars to start
in the morning when the weary legis
lators got through. Worn nerves were
strained further for each member had
some pet project. The chairman had
one for his home city of Cleveland, but
when he got through-for he had to
cut it down with all the rest-he did
not have more than two-thirds of what
he wanted and what his city needed.
But the bill was pruned and brought
out in shape. So 1t will be offered but
it will not remain in that shape. There
is always small hope that there may be
any amendments offered on the floor
of the House. The majority has been
too well drilled to permit the pet
measure of one of it's hardest working
committees to be cut or added to on the
floor, without some great necessity.
But there is another body to be reck-
oned with-the Senate. There the
work of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee is done by the Commerce Com
mittee, of which Senator Frye of Maine
has been chairman of for so long. The
Senate is a more complacent body and
member who wants something very
badly can have good hopes of getting
it. But there Is a limit even there.
For instance the Conference Committee
which has the final whipping into shape
OF this bill must get together and its
work must be approved by both
Houses. So it is that the Senate may
not hope to get out of the conference
much more than an addition of 20 per
cent to the House figures. That Is the
usual limit, though there is never any
agreement on the matter. For instance
two years ago the Senate amendment
which provided for the appropriation
of certain sums, to aggregate millions
in the end, for the purpose of inaugu-
rating the work of irrigation of arid
lands in the west, nearly caused an ex-
ira session, for there was one of the
regular supply bills to be agreed to,
and two western Senators had made up
their minds to filibuster until they got
the irrigation appropriation. But the
House conferees stood firm and won
after hard fight. They allowed
twelve millions to stick but would not
have the larger sum. There is an ex-
cellent chance that there may be yet

SHIPPING AND CANAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--Without
the attendance upon daily sessions to
take up their time, there is, during this
recess, continued discussion among
members of both branches of Congi ess
as to the outcome in the senate of the
two leading measures of this session
the Nicaragua canal bill and the ship
subsidy bill. Both are to keep prom
inent place in the eyes of the people
during the two months of the session
which remain, and while they will be
literally discussed, there seems to be
prospect that this will be the extent OF
their advance. Round the resorts where
the men who try to influence legisla-
tion congregate the opinion prevails
that there will be much talk and no
vote upon either bill, and this impress
sion is growing In the minds of every
one.
There are no assignable reasons for
the shelving Of the shipping bill which

STREET EXTENSION.

A petition is being circulated to eX-
tend School street to Kalihi so as to
lessen the traffic on King street and
provide the people in the Eva end of
the city with an outlet which would
not be closed in case Chinatown should
have another epidemic. The way Chi
natown now stretches out makes it i'm
practicable for Kalihi people, in the
event of a quarantine, to reach the
business section by the route used in
plague times; nor by any route for
that matter unless the high-tide boat
ing one should be utilized or the rail-
road brought into requisition. The
main argument of present use, how
ever, is the one that King street is
thronged with traffic. The laying of
Rapid Transit tracks over part of
the route tends to make matters worse
and the prospect dubious. Finally, the
sights and smells in Chinatown are not
pleasing to white people who travel
through that quarter.
The Advertiser in debating the School
street proposals must remind it's read

old ones should be put in good repair.
The School street plan makes no ex-
ception. But the assurance of Supt.
McCandless and Road Commissioner
Campbell that when the new rock
crusher is ready, the repair of streets
will proceed with celebrity, prompts in
us the hope that the time is not far
distant when all needed extensions may
be carried out. Chief among these
should be the ones proposed for Kalihi
and for people living on the route of
the intended Fort street extension.

NOTHING FOR HAWAII.

| The failure of the House Committee
on Rivers and Harbors to place in the
bill which is to be submitted for con
sidera ton soon after the recess any
provision for the surveying of the
harbors of the Hawaiian Islands must
be put down to the credit of the hold
ing up of the Pearl Harbor approprla-
ton, as outlined in these dispatches.
There is, in the opinion of the commit
1eemen who have most to do with the
final framing of these bills, the sub
committee on the drawing of the meas
ure, nc reason why there should be
any further money paid out, or rather
provided for paying out until there has
been settled for the future the point as
to whether the appropriations of the
committee shall be expended in the
manner intended.
At the same time there is no enmity
toward the Islands, as is indicated oy
the statement of the chairman of the
committee, Mr.. Burton of Ohio who
said that to put the money wanted into
the bill in the House seemed impossl-
BILE, but that il could be done in the
Senate and would be accepted by the
House conferees. The framing of a
bin like this one, carrying over 100000
900, is matter of hard labor. and one
which does not show the work when
II is done, For instance during the
past few years there have been auth
orized by Congress many surveys of
streams and harbors, many of which
are not, in the opinion of the best men
OF the various communities, worthy of
any attention at the hands OF the ma
tlonal Government. When the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors met at
the beginning OF December to take up
the framing of their bill for this ses-
sion they found several volumes OF re-

Locating smokeless Guns.

The English war Offices new scheme
for the training Of Tommy Atkins in
maneuvers embraces many novelties,
which win in due course see the light
OF practical demonstration. Among
these none is more interesting or
fraught with greater possibilities than
the device 70 training soldiers to To-
cate guns firing smokeless powder.
Arrangements are being made to
carry out experiments in this direction
at Aldershot, and the sappers have al
ready constructed an ingenious battle
field upon Ash Ranges, which will
make field firing very realistic. In the
trial to come an infantry force will
approach the ranges, and will imme-
diately be fired upon by distant guns.
Endeavor win be made to locate the
field pieces and the infantry will move
forward in cover AS they advance
surprise targets representing cavalry
and mounted infantry will spring upon
flank and front, an armored train will
run out, and all the features of mod
ern battlefield viii be represented
against the advancing force. This
method will call for great initiative
from commanders, and the targets will
be so made that good shooting will be
recorded by the targets being knocked
over
As an inducement to make infantry
take cover a new device has been
adopted. Artillerymen are to accom-
pany the advancing columns, and
when a distant gun fires its dummy
shell they will produce correspond
ing explosion among the attackers by
means of a small mortar-thus teach
ing the lesson of cover and caution as
no other means short of live shell
could do-London Express.

hands over knife that he's carried
since he was a boy, and that he'd hate
to lose.
Many knives brought In for repairs
are priced because they are gifts; or
they were bought in some foreign coun.
try, or they just suit the hand Of the
man that uses them, There are various
more or less sentimental reasons why u
man may prefer to keep the old knife
rather than discard II for new one,
Then 1t may be that in some other
cases the knife Is too valuable to
be thrown away. So that first and last
and for one reason and another out OF
the vast number OF pocket knives car
ried good many come in to be mended.
The repairs made to pocket knives
are OF varied character. They may
consist, for example, In the putting ON
OF one new pearl side on a pearl-han,
died knife to replace side cracked or
fiawed. With long use the blade at the
hinged end or the spring in the handle
or the rivet by which the blade Is held
may get worn so that the knife blade
won't close properly, or may be the
spring is no longer as 1t should be,
flush with the back OF the knife. In fact
great many things can happen to a
pocket knife. and Of course the more
blades the more things can happen, but
the cutler repairs them all.
The phrase ''rebladed and rehandled"
suggested, of course, the idea of COM
plete renewal, and the inquirer Won
dered IL 1t might not be possible that
with the repair Of knife in one part
and another such n renewal might oc-

was it possible. but that sometimes 1t

tirely renewed, and there was left Of

A Sand Bow.

A curious phenomenon was recently
witnessed from the Antelope Island, in
the Great Salt Lake, U. S. One after
noon a gentleman saw what appeared
to be fine rainbow between the island
and the mainland, yet no rain was fall
ing anywhere in the locality. The bow
was double the breadth of an ordinary
rainbow, and there was a secondary
bow above it. On looking into the mat
ter he traced the bow to cloud of
sand from the shore of the lake. The
sand is "oolitic," to use a geological
word, and the pearly spherules reflect
ing the sunlight produced the bow.
