The Mongoose in America.

Collector Of the Port Thomas has re-
ceived adyices from the Treasury De-
partment of washington granting per-
mission for the landing of two mon
gooses brought from Jamaica on the
Admiral Sehley for the use # DR.. Gay,
of the University of Pennsylvania, who
wishes to make a scientific study of
their habits. The university viii have
to furnish a bond Of 81 900 that the ami
mails win be killed within ten days after
being landed. Such permission has
never before been granted, on account
of the destructive habits of the animals.
When Jamaica was overrun by plague
of reptiles, not being fortunate enough
in having a St Patrick to drive them
out, they imported the mongoose. This
little animal did the work very effec-
lively, and, in turn, has proved itself
a misunderstanding.

KING
PAWNS Ills SCEPTER

LISBON, Oct. 1T is all true. Our
''most faithful King has pawned his
crown, and the Minister of Finance
hooked the rest of the regalia, but who
cares? When Dom Carlos and Donna
Amelia rode down the AVAnida this aft
ernoon, while hundreds OF ragged news
boys shouted the scandalous story to
the multitude, the King and Queen saw
only smiling faces. Hats and handker-
chiefs were in the air; carriages stop
ped that their occupants might bid
their Majesties a more fitting welcome,
and all around the cry of Long live
Dom Carlos and Donna Amelia was
heard.
That the King is hard up surprises no
one, and that the government cannot
pay its way is no secret. But while the
politicians are roundly abused for per-
petuating the annual deficit by hanging
on to useless and expensive colonies,
people praise Dom Carlos rather than
blame him. Did he not allow his sal
airy to be reduced by one-fifth to light
en- the public burden? And has ne not
gone without pay for two long years
that the arrears of salaries owing to
subaltern officers might at least be dis
charged?
Such and similar were the comments
on all sides. But the indignity of it,
cried a wealthy Duke as he sat reading
the papers in his club. Pshaw! there IS
not a crown jewel in the world that has
not been hooked over and over again.
In fine, Dom Carlos is the popular
idol, and a pawn ticket more or less
will not affect his standing one way or
the other, for even in rerrograde Portu-
gal the masses have lost their old-time
reverence for scepter and crown In
deed. they begin to regard them as ar
ticles of expensive junk that ought to
be put to better uses than to eat up
millions of interest lying in the treas
ury vaults.
But to return to the pawned regalia
Part Of it belongs to the estate. i. e.,

RESERVOIR
IN LAVA BED
The Plans Made for
Hi!o Water
Works.
SPRINGS WILL
SUPPLY THE CITY
The Basin viii be Blasted From
Lava Flow and Lined With
Concrete.

Hilo's new water works is TO be built
in lava bed. The plans for the water
system of the Rainy City have been
completed and bids will be asked for
Immediately from contractors both here
and in Hilo. The appropriation made
by the legislature for the purpose was
$4,000 and the plans prepared by the
Department of Public Works were made
out, with that estimate in view.
No pumping apparatus or machinery
of any kind is required in the system
planned for Eilo. A simple reservoir
at sufficient altitude to give the desired
pressure is all that is needed, but the
system is still somewhat elaborate,
though not complicated.
The reservoir is to be built upon the
Pahoehoe lava, field above Hilo. 1t will
be of sufficient size to hold 100000 gal
Ions of water which is ample for the
supply of the city. both for domestic
and fire uses. The reservoir IS to be
excavated from the lava at Pahoehoe.
The plans call for a basin fourteen feet
in depth and with the bottorn dimen-
sions sixty by eighty feet. The sides
will slope so that the upper surface
of the basin will be eighty by one hum
bred feet across
Concrete walls are to be built to en-
close the pit. The lava will probably
have to be blasted out, and there is
considerable speculation as to the for
nation of the flow at this point There
may be simply a thin surface covering,
which, when taken out, will leave an
excavation larger than that required
for the reservoir. In this event filling
will be required. On the other hand
no air bubble may have formed at the
time of the lava flow, and the contrac-
tor must then blast out the solid stone.
As will be seen the contract will be
one furnishing considerable latitude for
the bidders, as well as speculation as
to the amount of labor required.
The reservoir is to be entirely en-
closed by a wooden fence and over it
is to be constructed roof of corrugat-
ed iron which will keep the water free
from dirt and shut out the hot suns
rays. There is also to be frame work
substantially built.
The reservoir is to be fed from cold
mountain springs through an eight inch
pipe. The outflow pipe is ten inches in
diameter, which is ample for the sup
ply of the city. Bids are to be asked
Immediately and work will probably be
commenced within month.

the people of Portugal, while part is the
Kings property. The state jewels, in
Guiding the famous sceptre of Don Juan
l., were hooked with the Bank of Por-
tugal for 25,000,000 francs, the full ex-
tent of their intrinsic value, provided,
of course, that the value is what it is
represented to be. But now comes the
bank and cries "bunko." Several of the
alleged historic gems and pearls are
paste, say the officials, better adapted
for children to play marbles with than
for the vaults of a financial institution.
The imputation of fraud affected the
Minister of Finance no more than wa
ter does duck, but as to the bank S
demand that the pledge be redeemed at
once-that is out of the question, first
and foremost because the Government
has no 25,000,000 francs handy, and,
again, because the bank got 'the real
thing" and if it be no longer real" the
bank is liable to prosecution and heavy
damages.
The Minister, you will perceive, has
turned the accusation into a two-edged
sword, and for the present no one
knows who will get the worst Of the
bargain, while the public looks on COM
placently, not knowing whom to credit
with the alleged crime, seeing that both
parties are equally capable of high
handed proceedings.
AS to the crown of Portugal, it has
been in the keeping of the Rothschilds,
London branch, since 1894. when the
King borrowed 100000 francs on it,
about one-eighth of its real value. Here
follows a description of this priceless
bauble, furnished by an official of Dom
Carlos's court:
The jewels in the crown consist OF
diamonds, rubies. pearls, sapphires and
emeralds, set in solid gold. It's weight
is three pounds five ounces troy.
