ENGINE RUN BY SUNSHINE.

Ingenious Yankee Has "a Solar Motor

Bottled sunshine is one of the dreams
of science. When it becomes possible
to run motors with the energy of the
suns rays without the intervention of
coal or steam. the world Will be revolu-
tionized. The discoverer of the process
will work greater changes than any
Alexander of Caesar who ever lived
and conquered. Science has long known
how to make steam with sunshine, but
the discovery has hitherto taken an ex-

form. California now claims the dis

kissing and Non-Kissing Families

Kissing and Non-Kissing Families.
The New York Sun says that kissing
among relatives goes by families, and
1t is quite true that certain households
are known to all their friends as great
kissers." The members, men, women
and children, kiss each other the first
thing In the morning and the last thing
at night, and on any other occasion
that they consider sufficiently emo
tional.
Still one may 90 too far the other
way. A woman who came of a kissing
family married a man who came of
non-kissing stock. At one time her hus-
band went to the railway station to
meet a son who had been absent from
home for two years, and on his return
the wife said
What did you do when you first saw
Jack? Did you kiss himi"
"N-no," faltered the husband and
father, "of course didn't kiss him."
"I'll tell you what he said to me-"
volunteered the son. HE said: Well,
Jack. was your train on timer"

HOW FLIES ARE MULTIPLIED.

Single Season Means Millions of De.
sceudants to One Family.
Flies multiply at prodigious rate.
Given a temperature sufficiently high
to hatch the eggs, their numbers are
only limited by the amount Of food
available for them.
Linnaeus Is credited with the saying
that three meat flies, by reason OF their
rapid multiplication, would consume a
dead horse quicker than would lion,
and the fact that certain diptera hav-
ing some outward resemblance to the
honey bee lay their eggs In the dead
carcasses of animals probably led SAM
son and Virgil to make erroneous state
ments with regard to the genesis OF
honey and the manufacture OF bees.
The breeding of ''gentles" for ground
bait is an industry the practicers Of
which could probably give much infor-
nation as to the nicely Of choice exer-
cised by flies in selecting material for
feeding and egg-laying.
According to Packard the house fly

seems probable that female fly might
have some 25,OOO,OO0 descendants In
the course of hot summer. Other Va,

more rapidly.
AS flies multiply upon and in organic

Judge Jerome b. Fisher, Exalted Grand

there is no place anywhere in the world
where the temperature is more equaole

fruits unknown in this section are found
there There is one fruit, known as the
papaia, which is a substitute for our
canteloupe. 1t grows on trees and is
very delicious. This fruit contains So per
cent of pepsin, and is looked upon as
very beneficial to people afflicted with
stomach troubles.
We visited the Honolulu sugar plan-
tation. Most OF the hands employed up
on these plantations Were Japanese. This
is not the largest, but is one of the new
est and best-equipped plantations and
sugar mills on the island. The sugar
cane is cut the year round. 1t is trans
ported to the mills in small cars on
tracks which are laid to different parts
of the plantation. We witnessed the
process of manufacture from the time
that the cane went into the crusher IN
til it came out brown sugar. 1t is no
uncommon thing for acre of land to
produce raw sugar to the value of $780,
This sugar is put into sacks of 125
pounds to the sack, and is shipped %

Spreckels of California who are the
owners of the steamship line on which
We crossed, are very largely interested
in the industry of sugar growing in these
Islands. This one mill is turning cur
100000 pounds of sugar per day. q
"A great deal of rice is grown there
and also coffee. The sugar industry
however, has been found to be so muci
more profitable than the coffee industry
that great deal of the coffee land has
been plowed under and planted to sugar
