Honolulu Is again face TO face with
the possibility Of another break in

city was without light for nearly an

The trouble seems to have been
caused by few drops OF rain on the
electric light wires. II appears that
the wires had not been drawn as
tight as they should, and that when
weighted by the showers OF yesterday,
settled into the branches Of the trees
along the streets. The result may
readily be imagined.

~ * South

Twenty years ago, by the census if
1880, there were 1870 small cotton mills
south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers.
The 1900 census shows 800 mills with
more than 100000 spindles and at
least 5000 spindles more to be added
within the next few months in mills
now under construction. The most
rapid increase in the history of cotton
manufacture in the south is now 60
ing on. In Georgia alone 48 new mills
with 263,676 new spindles and 5000
looms, representing an investment of
S3,860,O00, were put in operation last
year. They are all of the latest type,
both in construction and equipment
and many of them are run by cleo
tricity. During the previous year
Georgia built 3S new mills with 27s, 900
spindles and 4,710 looms, which repre-
sented an equal amount of capital.
More than Is per cent of the stock of
the Georgia mills is owned by local
capitalists
North Carolina stands next to
Georgia in progress, and On the line
of the Southern railway alone today
no less than 123 cotton mills, repre-
senting a capital of $14,227, $50, and
consuming 34o,1s2 bales of cotton ev-

ployment to the people, but in the saw

dispensable on account OF the great
pressure to which it will be subject
from water. Its form will be that of
an ellipsoid of rotation, with major
axis of 70 feet and a breadth of 26
feet, giving displacement of 800 tons.
To obviate rolling the center Of gray
ity will be placed as low as possible.
The capacity Of the interior will be 81
500 cubic feet, which allows sufficient
air for five men for fifteen hours, the:
carbonic acid evolved being removed
by combination with caustic soda.
Propulsion will be effected by hori-
zontal and vertical screws, the former
of 40, the latter of horse power, this
last being sufficient to counteract the
tendency to rise; while the motive
power is to be supplied by petroleum
motor through the medium of a 220
volt accumulation. One hundred and
fifty tons of petroleum will be taken,
or more than ten times the quantity
needed for the 900 miles voyage to
the pole from Spitzbergen, to which,
or rather to the edge of the ice, the
submarine boat will be towed. On ar
rival at the pack the direction of the
first open water will be taken by COM
pass; and, the boat being submerged,
a course will be steered for it.. If,
after an hour or so the light shows
that an opening has been reached the
vertical screw will be stopped and the
boat will rise by it's own buoyancy and
in case of a wide opening or channel
leading northWards the voyage will be
continued on the surface, giving an op-
portunity for scientific work. Suppos-
ing no gleam of light appears when
six hours have elapsed an ascent to
the lower surface of the ice will be
made with caution and the voyage
continued slowly until by the reading
of the manometer it is found that a
thin place has been reached. Here at
tempts will be made by blasting to eff
feet an opening, which, however small :.
will be sufficient to supply air for an
other fifteen hours; while in the case
of failure there will be still time to
return to the last opening that has
been left, whence the voyage will be
prosecuted in a slightly different direc-
.tion. But both assumptions made
that of an uninterrupted ice field more
than Is miles in diameter, and of one
SO continuously thick as to defy all ef-.
forts at disruption entirely con-
tradicted by all previous experiences.

Electric lights are coming into more

British Farmers Want Protection.

Many farmers in England are giving

that if any enterprising firm secure

effect upon consumers prices will be

government to give bounty for wheat
production in order to encourage home

he Engineer S
Prophecy ~

Engine No. 1s on the Ohio River
railroad killed her eighteenth victim
one evening recently. There is a
strange story connected with "Old
Eighteen" as the engine is called. Just
dozen years ago she was purchased
by the Ohio River Railroad company
and put into service. The day she ar
rived at the shops she presented a
graceful, appearance, for she was then
one of the newest engines out, and
seemed well prepared for the duties
she was destined to perform. Her
graceful outlines did not, however,
speak the CHASTITY crimes that were to
be laid at her door, nor the horrible
deaths Of which she was destined to be
the cause. Proud and happy with a
new-found pleasure was Engineer
Henry Miller, one Of the best and old
est engineers on the road at that time,
when he swung aboard No. 13 one
bright morning twelve years ago to
take her over the road on her first
: trip, How eagerly did she respond to
the pressure of his hand upon the
throttle, and how her whistle aWoke
the echoes among the grand old hills
that border the stream along the
graceful banks of which the Ohio road
pursues its way.
Henry Miller and his engine became
more and more firmly attached to
each other as the days rolled by. Mil
ler often said that until he was done
with his work of this life he never
wanted to see any hand but his own
at the guiding lever of his beloved en-
gine. She was whimsical, and an at
tempt to place new master in the es-
ltablished seat Of the old one might
cause disaster. In fact, to prevent
anything of the kind he had been
known to leave his bed when i'll and
go out on his regular run. At last the
inevitable happened. Miller was tight
in the grasp Of fever. From that mo-
ment the nature of old Eighteen"
changed, and she was no more the
tractable, loving mistress that she
had been while serving Henry Miller.
Her first master recovered after a
time, and once again stood at the
throttle of his favorite, but there was
a difference, and he felt it in every vi
bration Of her mighty frame. She
worked steadily, but not with ready
willingness as in the past. Shortly af-
ter Miller's return to work the first
accident happened and started old
Eighteen in career of b1oodshed. She
was bowling along merrily one bright
day near a crossing several miles
down the Ohio, when. just as she shot

persons in it drove upon the track

was a sufficient distance in which TO

try and carried many of the natives
into captivity. The situation has been
i fully explained to the powerful chiefs
among them and they say that they
gladly welcome the government OF
France which they have been told Wilt
protect them against the enemies who
have SO long made them suffer: The
French are thoroughly convinced that
this part Of the country need not bel

ernments as nearly self-suporting as
possible 1t has already arranged to
impose hut tax in the civil district.
The tax viii be paid in rubber, each
hut holder being required to deliver
about six pounds year. He will take
it to his local chief, who will keep a
small proportion Of the commodity and
forward the rest to one or another OF
the French stations. The rubber and
ivory resources of the country are said
to be very large. In the regions of the
lower Shari all the laws and regula-
tions imposed upon the people will be
dictated by the military regime The
government proposes to collect tax
from all the people, but it will not be
onerous. Rabah enriched himself by
taxes. He acquired enormous means
with which to extend his power by in
f1icting most grievous burden of tax
alton upon the inhabitants of the Sui
tanates he conquered. 1t is not ex-
peeted that the French taxes will
amount to more than one-fourth those
which the despot Rabah collected. A
large part of the people already un-
derstand that the evils inflicted upon
them by their conquerors viii be re-.
moved and that their burden of taxa
ton will be comparatively light.
They are therefore submitting most
cheerfully to the rule of the French
It is not expected that France will

to prove one of the most valuable
