the school at Lahainaluna. A negro
boy went to Hampton, worked his way
through, and when he graduated it was
with the purpose of doing something
for his people. What Booker T. Wash
ington has accomplished has placed his
name on the lips of almost every one
in the civilized world. Personal char
acter was Booker Washington's watch
word.
Then again this same influence from
Lahainaluna was exercised when
Charles R. Bishop and his beloved wife,
the Princess Pauahi, began to plan for
some philanthropic use of their wealth.
What influence was exerted in the es-
tablishing of Hampton worked in the
establishment of the Kamehameha
Schools. Thus the influence of that
school worked in circle and eventually
came back to the islands whence it
had started.
Rev. Henry Parker spoke in Hawai-

The two sketches, I'm Honor
Bound, and MY Turn Next" to be
presented by the Dramatic Circle of
the Kilohana Art League on Tuesday
evening, December 80, will offer
pleasing contrasts. "In Honor Bound
is a skillfully wrought out fancy, bas-
ed on the story of the ENHANCEMENT of
a young man with the wife of 4
shrewd lawyer, the woman being the
moving spirit in the affair, having
drifted apart from her husband in the
fOrmafities of marriage de conven-
ance. Later, the young man falls in
love with the ward of the lawyer, and
the latter, whose shrewdness is clev-
erly shown as the play progresses,
exacts a pledge of confidence hard to
fulfill.
my Turn Next" is a rollicking COM
edy with simple plot that naturally
ties the unhappy center of it into
complications that convulse the audi
ence. A eonfiding druggist marries a
widow and is mortified to hear that
bis spouse has had, apparently, four
former husbands. all Of whom mys-

The lightest wood known is that of
the so-called corkwood tree 0eitneria
fioridana), which in the swamps of
southeastern Missouri reaches a height
of fifteen to twenty feet and a diameter
of two to five inches, and is found in
occasional small specimens in Florida
and Arkansas. Prof. Nipher has shown
its specific gravity to be .207, while that
of it's roots is only ISL. The wood,
though spongy, is far tougher than
cork. The specific gravity of cork
which is the outer bark of a kind of
oak-is .240, while that of most woods is
between 400 and 800, and that of the
heaviest wood known, the black IRON
wood of Florida, is 1902.

To avoid the Greet influence of the sun
sent up at night. On one occasion, in
March, the exceptionally low tempera-
tl,re of minus rs degrees c. (minus 1OS
degrees F) was recorded; and the OBJ
servations brought out the remarkable
fact that decrease in temperature
ceases at about II 900 meters, while be-
yond there may be a slight warming
in zone of nearly constant temporal
ture. This layer of uniform tempera-
ture falls somewhat lower during low
barometer, while it rises 1000 meters
higher during high pressure, and in
summer 1t is reached only at $4,000 or
$4,000 meters. Other observers confirm
the existence of an atmospheric stratum
where decrease of temperature with
height is interrupted. In this layer, it
is conjectured, the air currents flow on
without interruption, and the cyclOnic
whirls of the lower atmosphere cause
little disturbance.
A curious biological investigation,
begun by Prof G. H. Nuttall, opens UP
a wide field of astonishing possibili-
ties. He has discovered that when
human blood is injected into the rabbit
or other animal, the serum of the latter
becomes an antl-Serum f0r human
blood, this anti-serum giving a pre-
cipitate when added to the serum of
human blood, but not with any other
serum except certain apes. In the
same way anti-serums have been made
for the blood of horses, pigs, dogs,
etc. The value of these substances as
tests is lessened by the fact that vigor-
GUS anti-serums-es especially that of the
pig-react after sufficient time with the
blood of apes, bears, men, dogs, rats,
bats ETC., but instead of proving Atm
tiles of the pig with all mammalia,
this is held to show that besides the
specific anti-serum there is a general
lied anti-serum, the anti-mammalian.
No anti-serum of a mammal gives a
reaction with non-mammalian blood.
Anti-chicken and anti-ostrich serum
act more or less on the blood of all
fowls. Anti-egg gives results suggest
ing kinship between birds and reptiles;
anti-alligator serum affects only alli-
gator and turtle blood; anti-lobster
serum reacts only with the blood OF
Holsters and crabs, and anti-frog serum
reacts only on the blood OF frogs.

than either solid rubber or pneumatic.
An electric automobile running at 5

in stopping, the solid tires required an
increase of IA per cent in braking
power.

Suppuration at the roots of teeth is
treated by electric rays by Dr. Strebel
of Munich. A powerful electric light
is focused upon the bony cavities of
the jaw, setting up irritation, increas-
ing to violent Inflammation, and a layer
of tissue comes away. The suppura-
ton ceases, the looseness of the tooth
disappearing. The operation is diff
cult, but is reported to have been sue
cessfully tested in fourteen cases.
In the singular failure of the old
windows of York Cathedral, the glass
has lost most Of it's transparency, and
in places has become so perforated
that it crumbles at the slightest touch.
To stop the disease" some glass of the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries has
been removed. 1t is known that the
hardest cement is sometimes disinte-
grated by chemical action set up by
minute organism, and it is supposed
that the destruction of the glass has
been due to some fungus.
The scarcity of meteorological sta
lions near the equator gives interest to
recent report of the observations for
five years of Dr. E. Goldi at Para. The
mean temperature for the year is IS
degrees F., and the annual variation is
extremely small-only 2.5 degrees
while the mean daily variation Is IS
degrees. The mean annual rainfall is
about 102 inches. A wet season occurs
from January to April, with relative
ly dry season-in which rain is some
what frequent-from May to December.
The rains are almost exclusively con-.
fined to thunderstorms Of the after
noon and evening.
An improved egg-testing process
which has been awarded a medal by
poultry breeders in Saxony-is claimed
to determine the age almost to day.
1t depends upon the fact that the air

dency to float point downward in a salt
solution. A scale at the back of the
vessel gives the inclinations correspond

The filaments of the Crawford
Voelker lamp-in which true car
bide of several rare metals or earths is
formed-are claimed to have higher
specific resistance than carbon fila
ments, to disintegrate more slowly, and
to be practically uniform in resistance.
The lamps, which have been made up
to 500 volts, are less liable to injury
than the ordinary 200-volt lamp. In
comparisons by Sir William H. Preece,
this form of lamp has shown an econ
omy ranging from 1913 per cent at the
start to 50.4 per cent after 500 hours,
and still reaching 41.6 per cent at the
end of 1000 hours.

The universe is narrowed to the linn
its of our perceptions. 1t is not the
same to all persons. 1t may be very
different to the even more imperfect
faculties Of other animals. Able
MoreauX suggests that if man could
perceive the ultraviolet rays, as Lub-
book has found the ants do, he might
see a whole landscape shining in [
light unknown to US now, while the
normal man would be in darkness. To
the color-blind, usually unable to dis
tinguish red from green and black,
while some perceive no yellow or blue,
the world is not the same as to the
average individual. If our eyes were
attuned to the thermo-chemical vibra-
lions revealed by the bolometer, the
visual scale would be transposed, and
instead Of stars now seen we should
perceive those whose light has been
long extinguished, the sun would ap
pear surrounded by its eYer-changing
corona, currents of hot air would be-
come visible like snow squalls, and the
science Of heat would give up its Sc
crets There are other vibrations

The sky within the orbit of Mercury
was carefully photographed at the
Lick Observatory during the 1901
eclipse, in the hope that the hypotheti-
cal planet of Leverrier and others
might be discovered. Later examination
of the negatives has practically proven
that no such body exists. An object of
sufficient size to produce the observed
disturbance of Mercury's orbit would
be too conspicuous to escape detection,
and the possibility is small that it may
have been hidden by the sun or the
bright corona, as the area thus covered
was only 1000 of that in which the
search was made. Prof. Perrine has
suggested that the finely divided matter
causing the zodiacal light may be suf-
ficient in the aggregate to produce the
perturbations noted
