In my last report l stated that ginger
ale manufactured by the Hawaiian Soda
capsicum instead of ginger This COM
pany thought they were unjustly dis
eliminated against in this statement, and
l have in consequence examined the
ginger ale of the other manufacturers
here, viz: The Arctic Soda Works, the
Enterprise Soda Works, the Star Soda
Works and the Consolidated Soda Works,
and find. as stated in my last report,
that the use of capscum instead of GIN
ger is practiced by all of them. Strictly.
this is violation of the letter of the law,
being the sale of an article under other
than its true name, well as the sub
stitution of a cheaper article, but the
matter is scarcely worth further atten-
ton in the face OF other much more
fraudulent and injurious practices.
Eleven samples of cocoa and chocolate
have been examined with results as
stated below. In addition to the mix
ture of cocoa hulls and other foreign
substances to cocoa, the addition of
starch or sugar must be regarded as an
ladulteration unless such addition is stat
| ed on the label. The name chocolate is
generally understood to mean cocoa with
| the addition of sugar, and the presence
/ of sugar In such case should not be re-
garded an adulteration
! Two samples of chocolate examined

contain sugar, but no other foreign sub
/ stances. The following brands of cocoa
were found to be adulterated as stated ::

Suddenly the Snake men break
ranks Two priests place their
arms about each other and dance
in circle in front of the kisi,
third priest following. The entire
Snake line of twenty-eight men
thus breaks up in groups. The
carrier" suddenly drops on his
knees in front of the kisi, and
fumbling about draws one or more
snakes from the bag. At former
dances, a priest in the kisi handed
out the snakes. This year the car
rier" brings out the snake and
places it crosswise in his mouth.
The priest, whose arm is about the
carriers" shoulder, engrosses the
attention of the snake, by means of
his snake whip, and the trio, fol-
lowed by other trios, dance about
the plaza, to the accompaniment of
the rattle and chant of the Antelope
men, who do not break line during
this part of the dance. Four
times around the plaza, then the
carrier" leans over and drops
the snake To- the ground. The third
man. the "a gatherer," now picks up
the snake. Sometimes. in the case |
of the venomous reptile, consider

the snake to uncoil. The .gatherer."
with an agility which Is marvellous,
picks up the snake and adds it to
the others which he has in his /
hand. When the gatherers'"
hands are full, they pass n few of
the snakes to the Antelope men,
who are lined up. The little Ante
lope priest at the head of the line,
held "A snake larger than he was
himself. After the bag is emptied,
and all the snakes have participated
in the ceremony, an old priest adj
vances to the west of the plaza and
makes "A large circle with corn
meal, outlining the points of the
compass by cross lines. At given
signal, the snakes are thrown into
the circle and corn meal is thrown
on them by the Snake priestesses,
maidens with hair in whorls on the
sides of their heads, and gaily at
tired for the occasion. A sudden
scramble, and the snakes are gather
ed in handfuls by the priests, who
run down the mesa and carry them
far out in the trails below, where
they are left to carry the prayers of
the people to the gods. The Ante
loPe priests march around the
plaza, stamping the plank as be-
fore, and pass out to their kiva, and
the ceremony is over.

Value In Hawaii

Editor Advertiser: 1 notice in your
issue of the 18th inst, that Dr. Jared
Smith thinks cassava will thrive, etc.,
ETC., on these islands.
For general information I would say
that cassava (maninot api and utilis-
sima) has been thriving on the islands
for many years, and doing remarkably
well.
Starch prepared from this plant is near
ly as good as the Bermuda arrowroot
(maranta arundinacea) and of course
would fetch a superior price to either
potato or corn starch.
The manufacture is simplicity itself
and as far as these Islands are concern
ed needs no experimenting at all, except
perhaps. to find out a good, cheap method
of drying the starch quickly.
understand there are two factories on
Kauai, that produce a very good article.
In DR.. H. "a. Alfred Nicnolls' Tropical
Agriculture there is a very good article
on the growth and manufacture of this
starch. ought to be one of our large

GOOD PROGRESS
Is BEING MADE
Condemned Aala Premises Are
Being Filled in Very
Rapidly.

Excellent progress is reported by Cap
tain J. r. Parker, who has charge of
the filling-in of the insanitary premises
in the Aala district condemned some
months ago by the Board of Health and
now being reclaimed under its super
vision by the management of the Dow
sett estate.
The condemned land comprised ten
or twelve acres, and for long time
has been a menace to the health Of
the community, being lowlands par
TALLY covered with stagnant water and
practically the cesspool for the sur
rounding districts. Three or four acres
have now been filled in to depth of
from two to five feet, and Captain Par
ker thinks that a weeks time will suf-
flee, with the splendid work of the rail-
road dredger, to fill and complete the
rest.
Thorough satisfaction is expressed by
the owners of the lands already filed
in, in the result of the work done. The
salt water which is used for forcing the
sand through the pipes, acts as a disin-
fectant in the process of drainage, car
rying away with it much of the filth
and refuse besides.
| The earth for filling in is carried by
the pipes from the mauka railway
wharf slip, being forced through near
ly mile of piping, being the longest ex-
tension of force pipe ever used in the
Islands. A part of the pipe extends out
over the water on pontoons, the sec
| tons being connected by ball jointine
| so that the pipe can be swung about
in any direction without disconnectine
them. A revolving cutter is used fol
cutting the earth and sand used, and
| the dredger which was built by Cap
tain Parker some two years ago, is
equipped with a powerful pump and
| the most modern machinery.
| Yesterday the drainage of the salt
water over the premises forced out ar
army of worms and centipedes, an6
the Chinatown chickens had feast
Onlookers say that all the fowls in the
district gathered about the borders OF
the drain and enjoyed an abundant re-
past, the centipedes appearing by tbs
thousands and being of a size calculat-
ed to astound the feathered feasters
One centipede measured nearly eigh
Inches in length.

INSPECTS SEWERS
They Find Everything in Supt.
Boyd's Department
Satisfactory.

The members of the Executive Coun-
Gil made tour of inspection yesterday

perintendent Boyd of the Department
of Public Works. A visit was first
made to the pumping station, then to

yards manhole. the flush gates at Ka-
waiahao and to the outfall sewer. Ev-
erything was found in first-class con-

gret that the lack of money would pre-
vent the completion of the outfall sew
er very soon.
