HONOLULU BRANCH CABLE.
The British Government Not Likely
to Object.

In connection with the Canadian
Australian cable which is now under
construction, it is interesting to note
that at Honolulu there is some talk Of
the organization of a private company
to lay a cable to Tanning island. the
British island at which the transpacifc
cable will land. This point is seven
hundred miles from Honolulu, and a
cable for that distance would cost half
q million dollars. BY this means the
United States would be brought into
communication with the Territory of
Hawaii as soon as our cable is com
pleted Certainly there would be no OBJ
lection from a British source, for the
American messages would form a well
come source of revenue from a quarter
hitherto not counted upon.-Vancouver

NEW VIEWS!

Mr. Melvin Vaniman is now at the
Volcano, where he hopes to get a photo
which will do the subject justice. His
wonderful photo Of Honolulu, the larg-
est direct photo ever made in the Isl
ands, not to mention the smaller, but
not less perfect pictures of the Pail,
Waikiki Beach. etc, place him in the
front rank OF his profession. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect equally good
results from his present trip, which
will include all points Of interest be-
tween Honolulu and the Volcano.
When completed Messrs. King Bros,
who are associated with Mr.. Vaniman,
will have a series Of photos equal to
anything made anywhere, and which
will do more toward advertising the
Islands than any other medium.
Part of the series are now ready and

HATS ON OR oFFY
One Respect In which Northern and
Southern Men Differ.

According TO the etiquette of the day,
It is not requisite that man shall re-
move his hat in the presence of n wom-
an In public thoroughfare or convey
ance. Nobody thinks of a mans going
bareheaded in street car or railroad
car or cub because he Is in the COM
pany of women. The elevator Of
business building or of hotel is cer-
tainly n public conveyance, and the
corridor of business building or hotel
is certainly public thoroughfare. Err
80, in our opinion. courtesy toward the
fair sex does not require n man to re-
move his hat In either place because
there happens TO be woman present.
Having said. however, that courtesy
does not require the removal of mans
hat under the circumstances recounted,
we do not mean to disparage in the
slightest degree the chivalrous intent
of the man who does remove his head
covering. If you feel that you ought
to take off your hat in an elevator, do
so. If you are uncomfortable with 1t
on, get 1t off at once. These things are
largely matters of comfort. In New
York men keep their hats on with a
persistence that is somewhat shocking
to the southerner.
If the man in Gotham has any doubt
about whether he should have his hat
in his hand or on his head, you will not
find it in his hand. He takes as much
rope as the law will give him. On the
contrary. it has not been very long
since 1t was the proper thing in
Charleston for a gentleman to stand
with his head uncovered during all the
time he was converslng with a lady
even If he met her in the street, and
there may be. for all we know, hun

Went Around the spot.

Before Bismarck reconstructed the
map of Europe and made united
Germany a dozen little prlncipalities
used to annoy travellers by stopping
them at their frontiers until they had
satisfied the custom house demands.
A Yankee once had his carriage stop
ped ut the frontier of a petty princes
country. The Herr Ober (controleur at
the custom house) came forward and,
much to his Indignation, was received
in nonchalant way. The Yankee was
ungentlemanly enough not to get out
of his carriage or even to take off his
hat. The Herr Ober sharply demand
ed the key Of the tourists trunks,
which his subordinate began handling
roughly.
Here! Hands OFF, shouted the
Yankee. II didn't come from the
United States of America to be con-
trolled by you. Put those trunks back.
I'll not go through you at all. I'll turn
back. Pm in no hurry and don't care
for losing a day. You're no country.
You're only spot I'll go around
you" And he did.-London King.

Herorsm Better Than stoic,sm.

Discouragement is never permitted to
the child of God, nor stoical nonresist-
ance. There Is a fatallstic as well as
Christian way of facing the ills Of life.
Shall | allow my will to sleep in the
presence of any calamity on the
ground that calamity is resistless be-
fore man or God? So. we are told the
Hindoos often do before famine or pes
thence. They sullenly bow beneath the
storm. their efforts paralyzed by false
dogma. SO hundreds of more enlight-
ened race are victimiZed in the pres
ence of physical ills or business mis-
fortunes by idleness or weakness in
duced by unmanly fears The saying,
What can't be cured must be endur-
ed" is frequently on our tongues. More
profitable the saying, "While there's
life, there's hope" Destroy the ant hill
thousand times, and Its tiny inhab-
itants will yet promptly begin its re-
building. So while a grain OF strength
remains to us we should labor on to-
ward our betterment. trusting God to
cure when our own best remedies fail

FALCON ISLAND REAPPEARS.
Thc Little Pacific Island which Dis
appeared Comes Again Into view.


appeared Comes Again Into view.
Falcon island. which early In 1899
was reported to have completely disap-
peared beneath the waves of the Pa
citic, Is again showing It's Hat surface
above the water. The life history OF
this speck of land has been unusual
and interesting. a cable dispatch from
Europe printed In April last year said
that after n brief life Of II years Fn-
con island had ceased to exist. 1t was
thought that no trace Of It would ever
be seen again. But MIR. vossion. the
consul general of France in the Tonga
group, announces that Commandant
Ravenhill of the cruiser Porpoise has
returned to those islands from cruise
In the Pacific with the news of the re-
emergence of Falcon island He says
that the highest part of the island Is
now about 10 feet above sea level
The island was formed by a great
volcanic eruption at the bottom of the
sea in 1885. 1t took the waves and
storms of the ocean IA years entirely
to obliterate It. Mr.. j. j. Lister, who
disappeared. said that 1t was rapidly
being torn TO pieces by the action of
the waves. Unless n fresh volcanic
outburst occurred he thought II would
soon disappear. His prediction came
true. and a steamer that visited the
place about the beginning of last year
reported that not trace of 1t was to
hn n hn tn. lov
The island was built up in the neigh
borhood of the Tonga group, about 35
miles from the island of Tofooa. A
submarine volcano had reared from
the bottom of the ocean mighty mass
of eiecta. and on this foundation rested
the outpourIngs which rose above the
water. The island consisted of two
distinct parts. One of them was a hill
OF gentle slope and wide base. whose
height was l5315 feet. On one side the
hill ended abruptly in n cliff whose
base was washed by the sea at high
water. The other part of the island
was a fiat. extending away from the
base of the hill in a northerly direction
and only 10 to II feet above the high
tide level. The whole bit of land was
just bare. brown heap of ashes
around which the great rollers broke
and swept up the black shores in
sheets of foam. The island was entire
ly destitute of vegetation save for
half dozen Seeding plants that had
found lodgment there.
1t will not be strange If the island Is
torn to Diecps and nQnin disnDDparS
from view within very few years. Its
reappearance now is doubtless due to
another volcanic eruption. Volcanic
islands seldom endure many years un.
less they are so large or so well pro-
tected against the sea that there Is
time for them to become covered with
dense masses of vegetation before
ocean storms have an opportunity to
tear them to pieces. s.-New York sun.
