THE CHINESE IN HAWAII.
Congress May BE Asked to Extend
the Time for Their Registration.

the Time for Their Registration.
Under an organic act providing a Gov
eminent for the Territory OF Hawaii pro-
vision was made that it should go into eff
feet forty-fiye days after its approval by
the President, which date was June IS,
1900. 1t also provided that Chinese labor
ers residents of the Hawaiian Islands,
must take out resident certificates. to be
used by the collector of internal revenue
of the Hawaiian Territory.
For obvious reasons it was Impossible
to start the governmental machine until
late last fall. AS a consequence there
was registration in the islands until
the first day Of this month, and Chinese
laborerS who were compelled TO leave the
Territory for business or other reasons
before the registration began. entitled to
resident certificates. cannot be permitted
TO re-enter the Territory under existing
circumstances.
Commissioner General Powderly. OF the
immigration Bureau, therefore. will. in
all probability, recommend to the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury that Congress. be
asked TO extend the time for registration
until one calendar year shall have elapsed
from the date of its beginning. Failure
to secure such legislation would. 1t is
said, have a tendency to work an I'M
necessary hardship on certain Chinese
laborers who lived in the Hawaiian ISL
ands at the time the organic act became
operative, and who left the islands, I'M
able to get a certificate of residence
through no fault of their own.

FOOD TABLETS INSUFFICIENT.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1O.-The new

dition. who did net vary his regular rou-
tine Of exercise and study, and took diet
under the supervision OF Prof NJ. E. Jaffa,
OF the university
Roadhouse is country bred freshman
who is working his way through college
by running a dairy. His routine is to get
up at O'Clock, milk and look after six
COWS, walk five miles. eat three meals. do
his university work. and go to bed at 10
ocioek at night. He weighed I66 pounds
when he began and he lost four pounds in
five days
The gist of his experience was that he
grew noticeably weaker, was hungry too
long before his meals, felt chilly. had his
digestion disturbed and grew very tired
OF the monotony of his food. While his
physical energy was lessened. he found he
could study ever better on this ration than
on ordinary food.
Prof Jaffa in summing up his observa-
tions of the experiment, which was care
fully conducted. said:
While the bulk OF the ration is suffi-
cient for each meal. there does not seem
sufficient nutriment to the bulk. All the
symptoms of Roadhouse showed a lowered
vitality under the diet. From an analy-
sis of the ration. It is shown to be def
Gent in heat or energy producing value.
The deficiency in carbon hydrate and fat
cannot be supplied by Increasing the size
of the ration.
THE only remedy would be to increase
the proportion OF fat aid carbon hydrate.
Unless this is done. the present ration will
not support soldiers under active duty in
the field in any climate"

1t was shown that the liquefed air de-
stroys the elasticity of india rubber,
which becomes hard and as brittle as
glass. 1t can then be pulverized. When
the air has evaporated the india rubber
again becomes elastic. Meat can be treat

Prof D'Arsonval showed a beefsteak

1t fall, and when it struck the platform
1t sounded like a stone. 1t broke into

important for use in hospitals.

has squared himself with the Adnlinistra-
tion. He has explained that. in saying
that General Otis was whatever he called
him, he did not mean TO insinuate that
President Mckinley was another, or that
the War Department was still conducted
on Algerian principles. What he actually
intended to say was that Otis excluded
the Chinese from the Philippines on the
i'll advice OF certain persons who were
near him, and whose counsel was per-
nicious. But these were not the Presi-
dent nor anyone else who is in a position
to take offence. So, Mr.. WI has been for
given and will go on upsetting the con-
ventions until the Empress Dowager shall
get tired of him, or we do. which is less
probable.
Even upon celestial word of advice
may not be wasted. If the Chinese Minis
ter will consult some of his Western col
leagues as to the propriety of certain
lines of conduct. he will save himself

fication is ever experienced by Cinnamon.
