PUNAHOU WOUND
UP SEASON WELL
Defeated the Stars by One Run
H. A. e. Took Males
Into Camp

Contrary to general expectation, Ca
hu College vanquished the Stars on
Saturday. The game was keenly con-
tested until the very end, and a world
of errors cost the constellation a VIC
tory.
Rabbit for the losers, and Castle for
Punahou, twirled well. The score was
Punahou 9, Stars s.
AT Makiki, the record game of the
league was played, between the Homo
lulu Athletic Club and the Male lii
mas.
Richardson was like breaking coal
in mammals front room" to the Homo
lulus, no less than nine runs issuing
from his contortions
Lemon supplanted Richardson in the
NTH, and the. reign of joy terminated
abruptly, the Honolulus only scoring
twice after his accession.
kaai pitched invincible ball for the
Honolulus, and struck out dozen men,
He was also well supported
In the seventh innings the Males OBJ
1ected to a decision, and continued the
game under protest. The final score
was Honolulu Athletic Club II, Male
lima Z.

DEPTH OF A RAINFALL.
The Method by Which 1t IL Accurate
" Measured.

Probably one question that has puz-
rainfall may be accurately determined.
The way it Is done is this:
A funnel whose larger aperture rep
resents n surface of 100 square inches
Is placed in position where 1t may
catch the direct fall of the rain, with
the rim of the funnel extending per-
haps an inch or more beyond the plat
form to which 1t may be fixed. This
is for the purpose Of preventing any
rain from being washed into the funnel
and increasing the true fall. From this
funnel the water runs to tube which
bears an exact and carefully dctcrmin-
ed ratio to the area of the tunnels
mouth, say One-tenth.
If, therefore the tube shows water to
the depth Of an inch 1t Is clear that one
tenth of an inch of rain has fallen. The
tube Is provided with carefully grad
uated scale so that the fall may be
readily seen. Three inches OF rain
would show depth of 30 inches In
tube one tenth the size Of the receiving
aperture, and the decmals Of an inch
could be quickly noted by observing the
scale.
If placed on the roof Of q building,
the apparatus should be kept away
from the edges to prevent any peculiar
slant Of the wind carrying into the fun
mel larger proportion Of rain than
would fall into 1t under normal condi-
tions. The larger the aperture OF the
receiving funnel Is made the more ac-
curate will be the results obtained.
A curious fact that has been noted In
connection with rainfalls Is that gauges
placed on roofs usually gather less wa
ter than those placed on the ground
This Is accounted for on the theory that
the rain in falling absorbs some of the
moisture of the air. and the greater dis
tancc 1t falls the larger Will be the
bulk Of the individual drops. - New
York Herald.

THE OEER'S HORNS.
They Present all the Phenomena of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.

Why and how Is the deer SO peculiar
ly unlike any other Of the bovine race,
the horn differing SO materially from
all the horned cattle in Its composition,
growth, maturity and dcclnef 1t pre-
sents all the phenomena OF animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the sIncws and takes root on
the bone. growing the same as vcEe-
table. 1t is nourishcd by and sccr"tcs
nlhumcn upon the surface and d!SposcS
Of the ihrinc the same AS an animal.
1t IS clothed with n skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest of the body. This covering and
hair possess n property unknown In
other animal hodics-that Of being n
styptc to stanch its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks of the age
on the buck 10y putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditlonnl power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
IN the female. So this difference Is
other class of animals. Again. the horn
possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter. 1t is entirely In
odorous, capable OF resisting putr"fac-
tion and almost impcrvious to the cf-
fects Of the atmosphere.
And still water at 800 degrees +. will
dissolve these horns readily, even
though they are not soluble In nlcohol
and resist the action of acids and aka
lies. 1t Is the only vcgcto animal sub
stance that we know OF that does not
pcrpctuatc itself by prOcrcation.
The male and the female are sustain
ed by the same nutrition and clements.
and the male only produces horns. This
phenomenon Is quite as much of curl
osity as the absence of the horn In the
buck after shedding.

The undying interest which is taken
in the thcater Is explained by the very
profound line with which Shakespeare
began very silly speech. "All the
worlds II stage" People ns rule
take no interest In anything that Is not
dramatically (or, ns In the case of poll
ties, melodramatically) formulated.
Any creed to be popular must be drA-
matically stated. Therefore the Eos-
pcls are preferred to the cpistles.

they are the truth about things stated

TRICKS IN THE SILK TRADE.
How Shoppers Arc FOOlcd-Teats
Which Show the Pure Material.

Pure silk, when 1t has been through
all the processes necessary to bring out
nll Its good qualities, Is worth Its
weight In silver, said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at little more
than the price of cotton must expect to
be fooled, and there are lots Of ways by
which the manufacturer gets even with
them.
They make stuff that Is called silk
and passes for 1t with credulous per
sons who don't know any better out Of
nearly any old thing now. Ono favor
tie imitation silk Is made Of cellulose
treated with chemicals. 1t isn't good
material to get on fire In. Then there
are south sea island cottons and some
merccrized cotton which after trent
ment look something like silk, though
Of course they wear very differently,
and their silken appearance soon van
ishes.
But 1t is In adultcratng goods which
really have some silk in them TINT the
greatest skill Is exercised to deceive
the buyer. To obtain the required rus
tic and body rough floss Is often used
for the woof Of the material. This soon
causes 1t to wear shiny.
Another trick Is to increase the
weight and apparent soliity Of film
sy silk material by using metallic salts
tn the dye watts. Pressing with some
kinds Of silk increases the weight also,
but Mt the sacrifice Of strength. Cheap
crackly, stiff silk which has heavy
cords Is good silk to avoid. 1t won't
wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity of piece of silk.
The microscope Of course will show 1t
at once, oven to an unpracticed cyc.
Pure silk has the appearance Of fine,
smooth tubes. Another good test Is by
burning. Pure silk burns slowly, with
O slight udor. Cotton flares up quickly
and would throw Off n decidedly dlsa-
Erceahlc s:!cll.
Then the tongue will readily reveal
the presence of metallic salts. Thcr" is
no mistaklng their taste. But nll these
may be diSrcgartlcd, said the expert,
when silk IL offered for the price of cot
ton. You need not bother to test that
