under such circumstances the Commission

that the operation of such a car would be

rANrHELLs sTATEMENT



yy A. Campbell the contractor for
tb. improvements on the naval reserV7-
zion. against whom charges have been
brourht for violation of the eight hour
law. believes that the charge has been
made from conspiracy and makes the
following statement in his own behalf
Mr. campbell is well known In Homo
lulu as am pnterprsing builder having
contributed seventy-hve of the new
residences iu town since his ARRIVAL
here Mr. campbell says:
"The proceedings are simply persecu-
ti0u .nstigated as they are by contrac-
tors who have been uuderbid 10y me,
and who oppose me owing 10 the tact
that / employ Oriental labor. When ]
came To- Honolulu / found much work
going on and most of the best available
white men employed. ] had 10 take men
who perhaps could not get anything TO
do where they came from, and on Mon
DAYS they would not be present on the
job as they were perhaps drunk from
the money they had received Saturday.
( began 10 employ japanese and found
them reliable labOrers. The cost was
not less than the same work should
come 10 done by others, but the men
never were absent from their posts or
duty and always could be relied upon
for service. The work upon which they
were employed went on because Of their
steadiness and sobriety.
THE navy people came to me to
build a watchman's cottage on the gov
eminent reservation, and my figures,
plans and specifications We're approved
at Washington. The contractors, whose
bids In some case were more than dou-
bic my bids, sent walking delegates TO
investigate the conditions Of the bids
through an attorney. but were ordered
off the naval premises
"Thc contractors found that the men
were working nine hours. They at once
put on several so-Called carpenters 20
act as spies on the Workmen, peepng
around the corners Of buildings and
lumber piles. This was the ground up
on which they secured the indictment Of
myself with the APPROXIMATION ! Was
entirely ignorant that the men were
breaking any law. ] had no personal
knowledge Of the time they worked at
all. and / was only anxious TO carry out
the work in accordance with the con-
tract. I believe that the action against
me is only instigated by labor unions,
as IL is "A well known fact that ] am
opposed TO such organizations as ] be-
lieve they help TO develop anarchistic
ideas. and where / employ man TO

STEAMBOAT LINE FOR SLAUuHTER'S.
Agitating the Building of a Pier at SIaugh-
ter's Beech, Delaware.

BY the building of steamboat pier
at Slaughters Beach, the people would
be benefited in several ways. The ad-
vantage of quick, cheap and convenient
shipping facilities would pat increased
profits directly into pockets of farmers;
also enable a dozen money crops to be
grown proftably, where the long haul
and high freight rates now make it i'm
possible; but these are only a small
factor to be gained from a steamboat
pier, and steamboat line twice or
thrice a week, between Slaughter's
Beach and Philadelphia. The advan-
tage of opening up a wider acquain-
tance with the world is another benefit;
but the opening of large pleasure re-
sort, that will draw on the country sur
rounding for poultry, eggs, truck of all
kinds and labor, is one of the greatest
factors.
1t has been stated that 70, 900 excur-
sionists were brought to Woodland
Beach by the steamboats, during the
summer just passed, from Philadel-
phia and other points; and, notwith-
standing that the place was cut off
from the mainland of Kent county by
destruction of the county road, yet
this has been a successful season at
that resort. A pier at Slaughter Beach
capable of accommodating a steamboat
line, would be the means of bringing
thousands of dollars annually to the
folks of Slaughter and Cedar Necks.

QUEER OPTICAL ILLUSION.
An Interesting Experiment With
A'1neiI and "a Wire Screen.

Professor r. W. Wood recently de-
scribed a rather startling optical illu-
sion which any one may see with lit
tie practice. \ lead pencil is held point
up an inch or two in front of a wire
screen with a sky background. If the
eyes are converged upon the pencil
noint. the wire gaUZe becomes some
what blurred and, of course, doubled.
AS the gaaZe has a regularly recur-
ring pattern. however, the two images
can be united and, with a little effort,
can be accommodated for distinct vi
sion of the combined images of the
mesh. AS soon as accommodation is
secured the mesh becomes perfectly
sharp and appears to be nearly in the
plane of the pencil point.
If now the pencil is moved away
from the eyes, which are to be kept
fixed on the screen. it apparently pass
es through the mesh and becomes dOu-
bled. If now the pencil is removed en-
tirely, it viii be found that the sharp
images of the combined images of the
gauze persist. although the eyes be
! inONCu nearer 10 u ldIlHel away IAOhi
| the screen.
Now bring the eyes up to within six
or eight inches of the plane in Which
the mesh appears to be and attempt
to touch it with the finger. 1t is not
there The finger falls upon empty
space. the screen being in reality a
couple of inches farther off.
"Ths," says Professor Wood, sis by
all means the most startling illusion
[ have ever seen, for we apparently see
something occupying a perfectly def
mite position i'm space before our eyes
and yet if we attempt to put our finger
on it we find that there is nothing
there. ."-EXchanGc.

ENGLAND'S SEA GYPsIES.
A Strange Little Tribe That Lives
Always on Boats.

A Strange Little Tribe Phat Lives
Always on Boats.
A strange and almost unknown part
that of the British isles is the queer
seniwild folk known as sea gypsies.
Real gypsies they are, differing from
their fellow gypsies in the fact that
they always live on the sea and that,
never having mingled with landsmen.
their type is much purer and more
nearly resembles the original.
There are about 500 sea gypsies in
Britain. They cruise along the coast,
seldom touching the land. but always
close to it, in old and weatherbeaten
craft that may have carried their
grandfathers.
When the tide is out, the old craft
will often drop anchor by a sand bank
island far out at sea. and her crew will
grub for cookies with their hands, fill
ing score of baskets, but saying moth
ing to each other, for they are almost
out of the habit of speech. They find
| fifty shellfish where the ordinary fisher
man finds one. but they rarely do the
same thing two days running, and in
the next hour they may be snaring rab-
bits on headland miles away.
The sea gypsies are wild eyed and
thickset. Their hair Is always either
! jet black or golden. They are still of
almost pure Morse or Danish descent
never having used the land and mixed
with the shore folk to any extent
Their hands seem to be all thumbs in
stead of fingers so powerful and stubby
are the dig.ts. because they have done
nothing but haul ropes and dig in the
wet sand.-New York Press.

BEE BUZZES.

One-fourth of an acre may contain
$50 colonies of bees.
An apiary should not be placed on
ground thickly set with trees.
Bees secrete wax only when necessa-
ry to furnish storage room for honey
or brood
The secretion of one pound of wax
necessitates the consumption of twenty
pounds of honey.
When a queen is gone, it will be only
a few DAYS until the colony will cease
to store much surplus honey.
Sometimes, toward the close of the
honey season, the bees will destroy
the queen cells or kill all of the queens
but one thus destroying the incentive
to swarm.
Care must be taken to see that there
is queen in every colony. If she gets
lost or is killed, another must be put in
her place. as the colony will run down
very fast if left Queenless.
Never feed bees during the day, il
matters not whether there be one col
ony or many. 1t causes confusion, and
the bees frequently get cross and go tC
stinging anything they come near.
In getting bees that have swarmeC
back into n hive much loss may be pre-
vented by stretching a piece of strong
canvas on the ground and setting the
hive upon it and then shaking the bees
on it,

THE PEACH MARKET ABOUT OVER.
Delaware Fruit is About Gone But the Mary.
land MOuntain Variety is Here.

The Delaware peach is again one of
the things of the past, excepting where
sCme are in cold storage. Many of the
local growth of peaches will be kept
until the cold frosts of winter mark the
Christmas tide. Then they will COM
mand prices that are at least five times
their value of to-day.
A few Maryland peaches, known
under the cognomen of mountain
peaches are finding their way into the
market. While this grade of peach is
fine in appearance there is difference
in the taste from the we'll known Della
ware varieties. OF this fruit but few
are of the freestone variety.
The Maryland mountain peach is fine
when spiced, and people who know the
value of fruit of this kind secure it for
the purpose of putting it up with the
kernel, and stone, which results in a
flavor similar to that of the Delaware
fruit.

QUEER CLO FLASKS.
New York Wine Merchant Has an In
teresting Collection.

There is an old wine merchant in
New York who has curious collection
of old bottles.
One, which he believes to be the old
est bottle used for holding liquor in
this country, came from Nassau, in the
Bahamas, originally filled with snuff.
1t is made of Il coarse, seaweed colored
glass and is shaped somewhat like
fhestnut standing upright upon its
broad end There is a broad bOttOmed
bottle which held madeira in Charles
ton in 1910 and a Viennese bottle 125
years old. whose slender, graceful
curves have been supplanted today by
more commercial shape. The first
American gin bottle, from the Schuch-
adt estate, has a pOuter pigeon shape.
which is delightful to the eye.
Among the later bottles are some
which constitute the product of the
bottle makers art when impressed
glass came into use. On each side fig
ures are nodded into the glass. There
are number of railroad bottles" On
one a wagon running on rails and
sides. with the motto, Success to the
| Railroad" On another the same primi-
tive arrangements are shown, cOmmem-
Grating the railroad at Lowell, and on
the reverse of the bottle a spread eagle
imbedded in thirteen stars.
George Washington figures on one
bottle, upon the reverse of which was
Zachary Taylor, who, so says the glass
never surrenders." A spread eagle
