What is the use of buying an express wagon at the store when you can make one, and just as good, out of wrapping paper?
 True, you cannot place any great amount of weight in this wagon, but you can have as much fun with it. and 1t runs fully as well as any store wagon ever sold. Then too, you can have the pleasure of making it, which Is In itself treat for any boy. Now, if you want an opportunity to show your playmates what you can do, construct one of these wagons which may be built very easily.
 Don't be under the impression this Is little bit of a child's wagon, for the one here pictured measured seven feet in length.
 Here Is how to set to work about 1t. First procure some unused sheets of stout wrap ping paper. Cut out one of these, which should measure about three feet and half in length to n width of two feet Cut out two other pieces, which should be of the same length to width of seven inches. Turn over one of the long sides of each of these to the depth of one inch Now you have the bottom and long sides of your wagon made. The dimensions of the short sides should be two feet by seven inches; crease over the long ends of each of these as in the two long sides of your wagon. Fasten all four sides together with sealing wax. You can use little strips of paper for bands if you prefer to make it more secure. The seat should be eight inches wide and in

other way, for we are going to tell you how you may prove that proposition with q croauet ball and piece of cord.
 The croquet ball is sphere, and the sec ton made in it by passing plane through its center is a great circle. The radius ot the great circle, therefore, is exactly equal to the radius of the sphere.
 Now, saw the ball through the center, thus dividing 1t into two hemispheres, and, lay ing one of them on the table, with the hat part down, drive a small nail in the center of the round, or upper, part. To the nall tie the end of cord, and then wind the cord around the nail and the rounded surface of the half ball until this surface is entirely covered by the cord. Cut the cord where you stop winding.
 Then take the other half of the ball and drive a small nail in the center of It's flat part, tying to the nail piece of cord ex- actly like the piece first used, and wind it around the nail, spirally, pressing it down so that 1t will lie fiat on the surface of the circle. Cut the cord when the surface of the circle is entirely covered and when you compare the two cords you will find that the piece first used Is exactly twice as long as the second.
 This proves that the surface of the hemis- phere is equal to twice the surface of . great circle, and that, therefore, the surface of whole sphere is equal to four times the surface of a great circle.
 So that we demonstrate an important the- prem of geometry simply by using ball and q cord.

 Reub was steady as clockwork, and dur ing the next four innings only 12 men faced him. three of whom he struck out The boys had never seen him pitch so well. He seemed to realize the necessity of keeping perfectly cool and self-possesed for the Invincible contingent tried in vain to rattle" him.
 Dick Ives was in his best form, and all lowed but one hit till the seventh inning
 At the beginning of the seventh inning, with the score still 0-0 the InvincibleS came to bat amid cries of Lucky seyenthr' Dick Ives sent a screaming liner to left field, which looked for home run. As he crossed third base and started for home Wilbur Wheatley sent the ball in from deep left. There were shouts of "Go backr' Hold your basel" but Dick thought he could make the extra base and kept on. Captain Jack caught the ball squarely in his mitt, and tagged Dick with 1t as he was sliding to the plate. The next two men struck out, for Reub was thoroughly reused and put on extra steam.
 Dick Ives got out of tight place in the latter half, for with two on base and only one out he struck out the two batsmen fol- lowing.
 Neither side could do anything in the eighth, and the ninth opened with the score still co. A perfect storm of cheers greeted the first Invincible batsman as he stepped to the plate. He responded by sending a safe hit to center. His successor was hit by

fore doing this, thoroughly cover each side of these strips with paste. After rolling let these dry until quite hard and then cut into suitable lengths. For the larger wheels the spokes will measure about 1 foot inches m length and for the small wheels about foot in length. As these spokes must ft perfectly, measure the distance across your cardboard rim and cut your spokes accord ingly. There are only four spokes to each wheel, which cross each other as shown in picture. Fasten spokes to rim first and then where they lntersect with sealing WAX.
 The axles are tubular spirals Of paper an Inch wide, 2 feet inches in length and made in the same manner as the spokes.
 Cut out four square pieces of cardboard, make a hole in lower end of each about an inch and a half in diameter and attach upper ends with sealing wax to sides of wagon where the wheels are to go.
 When the axle is thoroughly hardened pass it under the wagon through the holes in the cardboard. and fasten 1t to the exact center of the wheels with liberal supply of sealing wax. The diagram illustrates how the axle is made and arranged perfectly.
 The shafts are two long spiral tubes of paper, made just as is the axle, and fastened to the wagon just under the front side with sealing wax.
 Carefully follow the illustrations here given and you cannot go wrong.

SEEMS TO BE
PLENTY OF MONEY

From the small demand upon the
audit Office for the 10 per cent due on
fire claims, it would seem as if money
is not as tight in the Islands as the
hard times cries would indicate. Hard
ly one-thir1 Of the claimants have call
ed for warrants of the second batch
issued the first of the week, and they
are seemingly content to leave their
money on deposit with the Territorial
Treasury
There seems 20 be no way to account
for the failure of the claimants to
come for their money, though a few
months ago they were clamoring daily
for its payment. OF course, many of
the amounts are small, but there seems
to be no demand for even the large
warrants. The largest that has been
paid was that of Kaumakapili Church,
the warrant for over $4,000 having
been presented some time ago. The
total award to the church was $4,000.
The second batch of japanese war
rants has not been taken out. They
were all assigned to S. Ozaki, and he
is now on one of the other islands.

WELDON INTERESTS
YOUNG CHRISTIANS
He Addresses the Riverside Y. N
c. A. or the Attractions
of Hawaii.

In spite of other attractions last
evening the lecture on Hawaii by Wal
ter C. Weldon of Honolulu at the Y
M. c. A. hall was attended by fair
sized audience, though not as large as
the character of the entertainment
merited. Mr. Weldon has been a res
ident of the Islands since the sixties,
and is very familiar with the history of
the country and its people. The views
showing the principal places of inter-
est and important industries of the
country were excellent, ably ilIustrat-
ing his description of the island pos
sessions.
The speaker was introduced by
William Collier, who said that one of
the interesting topics of the day is
that of our island possessions.
Mr.. Weldon said that though COW
ering an area less than that of our
own county, Hawaii is the center of all
the commerce of the Pacific. The man
ufacture of sugar is the chief industry
of the islands and is unexcelled by that
of any other equal area in the world
lChinese are. most proftably employed
in its production, and he urged that
the exclusion of the race from the is
lands would prove a great hindrance
to that important business. The Chi
nese can be safely entrusted with the
business, while the Japanese cannot
be relied upon.
The Hawaiian is of kindly dispo-
sition, always courteous. They never
beg. If one is without food he needs
only report to his neighbors and they
promptly supply all his needs. They
are not akin to the negro, as is sup
posed, but may be related to the Sa-
moan. Though their lips are thick,
their hair is long and straight and
their complexion is of a copper color
The Hawaiian alphabet consists OF
but twelve letters; five vowels and
seven consonants. The speaker favor
ed the audience with the song, 81 Love
to Tell the Story" translated into the
native tongue.
He showed a picture taken at the in
auguration of Governor Dole, also OF
Mr.. Dole's residence, and his kindly
} words for Mr.. Dole were greeted with
! applause.
