AN ISLAND discovered
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HAIR
VEY SEES ONE.
Is Out at Mouth Of Niu River And Has
Trees Growing On It-Home Rulers
To Front

A curious formation has been noticed
recently out by the Niu stream near
Monsarratts residence on the beach
between Diamond Head and Koko
Head.
Frequent freshets Of the Niu stream,
have in various seasons past caused
that stream to deposit a quantity of
refuse and sediment to the side where
it enters the ocean. The result has
been that this accumulation has grad
ually increased and banked up until it
has formed a well defined island. The
tides have cut their way around the
shore side of the stun and completely
cut Ii off from the mainland The re-
suit is that a regular island Eas been
formed. Trees which have been up
rooted on Oahu have been swept onto
this deposit of sediment and have now
taken root and are growing in quite
a healthy manner. Residents in that
section of Waialae have watched the
development Of the island, with much
interest.
What may be the result Of the ap-
pearance of this island is uncertain. II
certainly is rich soil and may prove
the cause for numerous actions for RI
parian rights. Frank Harvey Of the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Company
discovered the island the other day,
and it has been called Harvey Island
out of compliment to him.
II IS lkely LndL IHe nome party Will
call mass meeting Immediately to
pass resolutions demanding the instant
removal of Governor Dole for attempt
ing to work a gerrymander of the
Fourth District to include Harvey ISL
and.
The political status Of the new island
will probably come up for debate in
the next session of the legislature,
While the Fourth District voters have
an excellent claim to it by reason OF
the geographical situation, still there
are other districts to be considered and
quite an interesting point might be
raised as to whether the dirt and trees
and hotsam which go to compose Har.
vey island came from the Fourth Dis
trict or not. If the latter, then morally
the island should not be included in the
Fourth District but be given separate
representation to enable the Home
Rulers to cOlonize it Immediately will

INDIANS SEE A REAL CIRCUS.

For the first time in their existence the res
ervation Indians of the Southwest have peeh
treated to a show-a real circus. ihere nave
been many Indians taken away from their res
ervations to anuse the public but until this
season no manager has been daring enough to
risk billing his show at any of the numerous
Indian towns that dot the plains of the South
west.
The circus has proved great fascination.
Indians are fond OF the acting as they are OF
frewater The two seem to so hand in hand on
show days. The performers on the saWdust
found thei- part of the engagement not quite so
pleasant Ey,.n the animals seemed glad TO get
away from the redskin audience. For the Ind
ian got his moneys worth He saw all the
sights there were going and hesitated not IN
asking about them, too.
Indians are noted for their curiosity, and
when big buck stalked into the saWdust arena
TO detect, if possible, any false motion IN the
sword throwers, there was little surprise But
when an athletic young Indian sought to run
foot races with the chariot riders the manage
ment thought he was carrying his part OF the
programme too far, and ordered an attendant to
remove the offender.
The menagerie of the great circus that visited
the Ponca Reservation was a wonder to the
Indians Many of the latter day Indians have
never seen any other than those animals found
in their own country, and the elephants ana
kangaroos being built upon strange lines
frightened many Of them.
The climax to the whole performance was
when the ventricquist started. Throwing the
voice is a power attributed only to the dead
by redskins, and as he began his work
the whole audience, except those who had been
educated away from home, left the tent in a
hurry. The lemonade seller did a rushing
business, but only the red colored fluid found
any sale.
The advent of the circus advertisements IS
always the cause Of great ado in the harnyard
Of the pale face yoUngster, and likewise does
il affect the Indian boy The bronco finds no
rest these days for brown skinned boys VIII
ride bareback and attempt daring feats. The
circus has found a admirer in the res
ervation buck and squaw, well as the pap
pooSe.

That they could not the beautiful things
The butterflies with their gorgeous wings,

And the nests that hld IN the apple ueeS-

This terrible Spell of nothing TO do.
They couldn't work. and they couldn't play,
And they tossed their dearest toys away

any you could find in the barnyard- You re-
member the Ostriches we saw at the Pan-Ameri

are so large that one would make a good meal
<or a hungry man. The shell of the average egg
Of that kind viii hold about and half

has recently been found, down the coast of
Madagascar. an egg of the sepyornis, which is
six times as large as the ostrich egg, or as
large as twelve dozen hen eggs
What is the bird like from which such an
egg comes2"
Now that is hard question to answer a
naturalist by the name of Strickland found the
bones Of one Of these birds and some eggs in
lS49 and a few years later Isidor Geofray st
Hilaire found some more fossil remains Of the
remarkable bird. but scientists agree that the
bird has been extinct about two hundred years.
By What they have found it is known that the
sspyornis was from ten to fifteen feet high, and
that i had three toes on its large feet. 1t
must have weighed about a ton"
Where did the big egg come from if there had
been no birds to lay them for SO many years?"
They may have been buried for centuries in
the sand and by some curious action of nature
they may have come 10 the surface, or they
may have been carried from the unexplored
part Of the country to the coast by the great
a0cGs which prevailed there some years ago"
why don't they go and see if there are any
birds left alve?' asked James Henry.
That is just what they are going TO do re
Piled his grandfather. The discovery of the
monster egg has aroused so much curiosity
among scientific men that an expedition has
been organized TO search for the 8pyornis, and

about the giant bird. In all there have been
found only thirty-four of the eggs. Our own

in the line Of these monster eggs except a plas-
ter cast Of one, which is about thirteen inches
long and nine inches in diameter"
