an absence of nearly eight months. He
left here last November with survey
ing party under orders to proceed to

Says the Buffalo Express: "A unique
feature OF Honolulu dwellings is the
provision made for lighting the exte-
rior as well as the interior. Electric
lamps are set in the masonry of the
walls. thereby throwing reflection
both inside and on the lawns, where
the residents spend most of their
nights"
The lighting method described is not
known to us but as it is quite prac-
ticable there may be IA few of Honolu-
LUIS splendid homes that use it. But
as to the pleasant fiction that our peo-
pie spend most of their nights on their

Cuba has always been under the in

she is so by right Today she is. in re-

protectorate; tomorrow she may be
part of the Union. The American peo-
pie. by helping the Cuban revOluti IN.
have bound themselves to keep order
in the island. The welfare of ,he
country must be fostered. IT will be
better policy and a cheapet one, to
give cuba the means of setting its SUI
gar than to send there men of war
and soldiers to put down anarchy.
Here the people continue to treat
cuba as though she were not a couu-

LOSING AND GAINING.

How many tons OF oahu real estate
are lost at sea on every windy day?
Yesterday clouds of dust blew OFF the
land to mingle with the ocean; in rainy
weather the streams carry great
burden of mud to the same depository.
For centuries this sort OF thing has
been going on with results which must
have made Oahu a very different place
from what 1t was when, about the
year 500, the Polynesians came here.
Mountains and lowlands alike must
have been vastly higher then than they
are now; and they are higher now than
they probably will be eleven hundred
years hence.
Niihau is an Island which shows to
the casual eye how this group Is being
affected by the trade winds. A gentle
breeze sends clouds of dust to sea and
centuries of buffeting have rounded the
surface and trimmed OFF the edges. and
in time Niihau may get down to tidal
level. Between erosion and storms II
takes a pretty stout island To hold its
own against the elements. Few of them
succeed
1t Is not all loss with the Hawaiian
group however. over on Hawaii the
volcano once in a while sees that few
thousand tons of lava are put where
they Will stay. And off the shores OF
each Island the coral insect keeps as
busy as bee, building on additions to
the coast which, in time, will rise above
the water. catch some of the flying dust
and acquire soil and trees Neverthe-
less the soil We lose is bound to be
badly needed some day. and what will
replace 1t? There is no occasion to wor-
~ now. but posterity may want to I'm
port dirt.

assailant having induced her to admit

stole revolver when he departed.
