TIE INDEPENDENT has boen inform
ed that . certain agent OF the Board
Of Health entered the residence Of a
well-known and prominent Hawaii
an the- other day, whose wife had
just died and was buried under an
official permit, and commenced
searching for bacilli during bis ab-
sencs. He also wanted the house
fumigated. Knowing the parties
we'll, we feel safe in saying. that the
dead woman had been sufferer for
many years. But what The INDE
PENDENT would like to know, what
right had the Board OF Health to do
what it's agent attempted to do after
granting the burial certi fcate7 II
the authorities thought the case
suspicious, the matter should have
been attended to while the body
was in the house, or, in other words,
refuse to grant the burial certificate,
We deem this high handed
method akin to the consequences
brought about lby the FIRE bugs of
1S99-1900, and which this Territory
will have to pay.

Hawaiian Silver.

WAsHlNaToN, January 16,-The
bill for the recoinage Of the silver
currency OF Hawaii introduced by
Representative Hill of Connecticut,
was today favorably acted upon by
the House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures. Some op.
position was developed, the Demo-
cratic members utging that the sill
YER dollars should not lose their
identity as such by being recoined
into subsidiary coinage, The vote
on the bill'was 8to 3, the Demo-
cratic members voting in the mega
tive.
The bill, as reported, provides
that all of the silver coins of Ha-
waii shall be received at par in pay
ment OF Government dues to Ha-
waii or to the United States. After
being received Nthe coins shall L. not
again be put into circulation, but
shall be sent to San Francisco to be
recoined into subsidiary silver. The
expense of shipment from Hawaii is
borne by the United States, and this
is the only expense invo.ved. There
is about $975,000 OF silver oirculat-
ing in Hawaii, most Of it in silver
dollars.

of Air Currents.

In a recent paper published by the
United States geological survey on
wells and windmills in Nebraska, men
tion il made of the Interesting phe-
nomena of the breathing or blowing
wells which are found distributed
throughout large portion of the
state of Nebraska. These wells are
uf the driven type, mostly in use upon
the plains. but are distinguished from
those of ordinary character by re-
markable and unexplained egress and
ingress of currents of air which pro-
duce distinctly audible sounds and
give the names variously applied to
them of breathing. signing, blowing
ar roaring wells, according to their
characters, in different places.
The air currents are readily tested
with the flames of candles or by drop
ping chatT or feathers into the well
tubes. There are periods when these
wells blow out for several days, and
equal periods when their air currents
are reversed. 1t has been observed
that the blowing occurs with changes
of the barometer. Some wells are
found to he most audible when the
wind is from the northwest with u
rise in water level; but with change
of wind air is drawn in and the water
is observed to sink.
During the progress of a low baron
eter area over one of these regions
wind is violently expelled from the
wells with noise distinctly audible
for several rods. Prof. Loyeland and
Swelcy, of the University of Nehras-
Ia, have made observations on well
of this nature in Perkins county, and
found its breathing periods were ex-
actly coincident with the barometric
changes, No satisfactory explanation
OF this strange phenomenon is adj
Narcrd.

Resemblances,

the object of scientific interest at the
Medical Association of the Greater
City of New York the other afternoon.
Over 20 medical men took part in a
clinical exhibition to determine the
anatomical characteristics of the
anthropoid ape.
The doctors noted that the confor-
nation of the skull showed a cranial
capacity far above that of the ordin-
airy monkey in size. which explains
the intelligence of the subject. The
knee cap disclosed the fact that Mr..
Esau was intended to stand and walk
erect. With comparative anatomy
and physiology in mind, Mr.. Esau was
regarded by many Of those present as
more closely approaching human
characteristics than any monkey ever
physiulogically eNtuined in America.

CORFU TO BE A MONTE CARLO.
Syndicate of Foreign Capitalists
Secures Concession to
the Island.

The scheme to convert the beauti-
full island of Corfu into another
Monte Carlo is taking definite shape.
The municipal authorities have let
to syndicate of foreign capitalists
the old British cemetery at Corfu, on
which to erect casino. This is a
of the treuty under
which Great Britain ceded the Ionian
isles to Greece, and it is expected that
a British protest will be lodged. The
lease is for 30 years.
The syndicate bats its hook with
promises of handsome concessions to
Corfu, including reversion of the
whole establishment to the municipal
ity at the end of the term. The casino
will have situation and surroundings
of exquisite beauty, and visitors will
enjoy the best winter climate in Eu-
rope. 1t is expected that the casino
will draw most of its customers from
Russia and Central Europe.
