mon-oxide; which Is present In the So

gerous stealthiness Of this gas seems to
be due to its gradual combination
with the haemoglobin of the blood
(which Is the agent carrying oxygen
to the tissues and removing the waste
carbon dioxide), into q very stable
compound, so stable,in fact,that 1t pre-
vents the usual absorption OF oxygen
In the lungs and thus really brings

CARNEoIE.s WEALTH.

Than Carnsxie.
Carnegie has not been SO generous
during 1900 AZ he was during 1899.
During 1899 MIR. Carnegie gave away
about IS, 100000. His gifts for the year
1900 will foot up only little over $3,-
600. 900. Carnegie said two years ago
that to die rich is to die disgraced."

mated at $500 600 .0OO BY the CONSOLE

said to have cleared upward OF $685.
DOC. 900. His income In 1900 has been
many millions more than In 1893, yet
his benefaetions show an increase of
$2.000.000. Carnegie's total benefac-
tons In the last thirty years are estf-
mated at $4,000. 900. In the year 1899,
Carnegie gave to libraries. educational
and charitable institutions about $5.-
COZ, 600. He also increased the wages
OF his men twice, but that Is a matter
of business which he keeps entirely
separate from his private accounts.
The increases in wages meant 81, 0O0,-
900 less income for himself. The chief
aim of Carnegie's philanthropical work
has been to educate the masses. His
money has gone TO found public IL
braries. public baths, colleges and In
the encouragement of music and fine
arts. Early this year Carnegie gave
out his own estimate of his wealth.
His own valuation of his interests in
the Carnegie Steel company was $146.-

conservatively estimated at 500. 900 900.
making total. according to his own
estimate Of 1856. 900. At the same
time that Carnegie gave out his own
estimate of his fortune, Frick declared
Carnegie's income to be $26, 367, 500
from the steel company alone This
was just before the great consoIida-
ton, when Frick and Carnegie were
bitter enemies. Prick then declared
that the total profits Of the company
for the fiscal year would amount to
$40, 900. 900. There was but one man in
America whose income Is estimated az
larger than Carnegie's. This man il
]. d. Rockefeller, whose income is es-
timated at $50, 900 900 for the year 1900.

II is singular, but true, that the in
dustrial school system Of the United
States owes It's origin, in large part,
to Hawaii. General Armstrong, the
founder of Hampton Institute, was
the son OF that Hawaiian educator
who organized the schools Of the Ha-
waiian Islands. Hampton this winter
contains eight grandchildren Of former
Indian students. Honolulu, in the
course of but q single generation,
shows still more notable instance OF
rapid aboriginal development. A former
queen OF Hawaii, awakened to sense
OF q finer civilization, came with

In view OF the growing Importance
OF both Honolulu and Guam II Is quite
probable that the navy department will
increase the number Of officers on duty

much OF the commerce of the Pacific.
