shoes, mumble- the.p etc. made
the time fly only too quick. The
dinner was the finest we ever saw
at pic-nic and it was there in

was served about 4 O'Clock and
again at sundown. About 6

Manufacturers of articles made OF
cellulOid should be compelled to stamp
plainly upon them the words highly
inhammable." The danger is no imag-
mary one. A gentleman with II lighted
cigar in his mouth was playing upon an
american organ" furnished with eel,
luloid keys. When some red hot ash
dropped upon the keys they instantly
burst into fumes and flame, which
could only be eXtinguiShed with the
greatest difficulty. A heated curling
iron will readily start the evolution of
dense and highly lntiammable fumes if
brought in contact with cellulOid
comb or hairpin. The proximity Of a
naked light adds to the danger enOr,
mously, for the fumes Of celluloid will
ignite tiercely at some considerable dis
lance from the flame.

sPoNGEs IN HAWAIIAN WATERS
Fish Comm ission Relieves They Can
BE Found.

Believing that there are sponges OF
understandable quality In the waters
about the Hawaiian Islands, the last
week of the stay of the party repre-.
senting the United States Fish Com.
mission will be devoted In part to All
investigation Of reports concerning
their presence. Should there be found
these will add materially to the wealth
of the islands, more, in fact, than any
other product of the fisheries.
There Is one State Of the Union which
now produces all the sponges which are
brought to the market locally. Along
the coast of Florida the industry has
been pushed to It's limit until the an
nual sales of sponges amount to 5000.
600. The product sells for as high as
$3.50 n pound. which makes the busl-
ness most profitable. There are sixty
schooners In the trade, and the business
Is the staple of many of the towns
along the coast of the State. The fish
ermen have brought the business to II
high state of perfection, and they are
able to make large catches in season.
The sponge fishing is done in deep
water the best specimens of the large
bath sponges being obtained from fifty
feet below the surface. They are locat.
ed with Il long pole carrying on its end
! blade like letter $, which cuts the
sponge loose with twist, and 1t Is then
brought to the surface, If there is luck;
and if not aud II gets away, 1t IL lost
forever The men become very expert
in the business, and they will carry IT
on during high winds, losing very few
of the SpOngcs.
There are many varieties of the
sponge, those which are generally found
about the enclosed waters being Of n
sort which are not of value. 1t Is the
opinion Of Mr.. Cobb, who is one of thu
experts of the fish commission on this
matter that good sponges will be found
on the reefs outside, and that In time
and a short time, for the organization
| OF this industry will not be an elabor.

most profitable of sea-product indus

Reports have come to the members OF
the party says the Hawaiian Gazette
that hiGh-grade sponges have beeI
found at Punaluu and other points oil

been seen which are of the finest grade
of the satin sponge, and the belief Il
expressed that there will be found ;

The Sultan of Turkey insists that
Turkish papers should never speak Of
violent deaths when they affect the
rulers or leaders OF nations. When
President Carnot was assassnated the
Turkish papers reported as follows:
1--WE regret to announce dear readers,
that Garnet, the worthy President OF
the French Republic. who has been i'll
for the last few days, died yesterday at
midnight"
The assassination of Nasir-ed-Din,
Shah of Persia, by Moulla Ria was
transformed by the Turkish press into
natural peaceful death. Full OF
years and glory, the king of kings has
Joined his august ancestors beyond the
tomb" terminated the paragraph in
question.
The fearful death of the Empress of
Austria came as a dread shock to the
already high-strung nerves of the YildiZ
deSpot. IZZet Bey. the Sultan's favOrite
chamberlain, was at once instructed to
send an announcement to the Turkish
papers that the empress, while staying
at Geneva, had died from cardiac af.
lection declared by her medical advis.
ers to be incurable.
