One OF the rarities of the earth is
the fine-grained limestones used for
making photographic plates. The quar-.
ries at Solenhofen. Germany, are Gel
ebrated not only for the excellence OF
their photographic stone, but also be-
cause remarkable specimens of the ex-
tinct flying reptile called the archae-
opterix have been found embedded in
the stone. News now comes from
Athens that large deposits of this
stone have been discovered in Thes-
sally, not far from Pharsalia, where
Pompey the Great was defeated by
Julius Caesar. Some experts say this
Greek stone Is superior to the best
heretofore known In Europe.

Physicians hre calling attention TO
the alarming increase of pneumonia.
Figures compiled by the health COM
missioner of Chicago show that in 1900
the disease stood side by side with
consumption, as regards the number
of deaths throughout the whole coun-
try. and that since then the mortality
rate In the one has increased and in
the other has fallen Pneumonia, there
fore, may now be said to have dis
placed the great white plague" as the
most terrible human scourge. Good
evidence of the highly communicab BILE
character of pneumonia comes from
Chicago. where thirty-eigbt cases oc-

ployes of the county treasurer's Office,

of the Newfoundland coast folk to ap-

It Is a fact that no witch was ever
burned or put to death by fire In Sa-
lem or any other part OF Massachu-
sets. How the impression that Cot
ton Mather and his associates had
perpetrated that horror gained cur
rency is inexplicable, but it has been
floating around for generations, and
In all probability will 'go on forever"
Salem was the scene Of the trial, con-
viction and execution by hanging Of
persons accused of witchcraft, says
the Washington Star. Gallows hill,
the eminence on which the hangings
occurred, Is perhaps the most inter
esting show place In New England.
1t may be doubted If more sincere or
conscientious men ever lived than Cot
ton Mather and his brethren. They
went to the Bible for their authority,
to the Mosaic law, emitting the Chris
tian dispensation. That law told them,
"Thou shalt not suffer witch to
live" Firmly believing in witchcraft
and having no doubt that they had
witches to deal with, what were they
to do but to kill them? From their
point of view they exercised great hui
mainly in employing the gallows rath-
err than the fagot.

|S|SAL IS A TRIUMPH OF
SMALL FARMING IN HAWAII
Probability That There Will Be One Hundred
Thousand Acres Devoted to 1t
Within Six Years.

| AN the sisal fibre that Hawaii car
iproduce can find a ready market at Sar
4 Francisco. There is no certainty, how
ever, that the Islands will be able to
fulfill the requirements OF at least one
of the largest cordage companies IN the
United States for at least three or four
years. The Tubbs Cordage Company
of San Francisco, which is handling the
output of the Hawaiian Fibre Company
of Sisal, Oahu, pronounces the Hawai-
ian sisal OF No. quality, equal to the
finest fibre handled by them from other
sources Of supply. and the corporation
would like to receive 1900 tons per year
from here. The present output Of the
Hawaiian Fibre Company is between
100 and 14O tons per year. although in
February, 1904. the company expects to
double this amount.
| The Tubbs Cordage Company has re-
ceived two monthly shipments OF fifty
bales of 500 pounds to the bale and after
passing the product through their mills,
have sent the following report to Man
ager A. H. Turner, which was received
in the China's mail:
1.-THE sisal is No. fibre fully up to
the standard of good current sisal, full
ly equal to the r. NJ. mark of Molina's
sisal. 1t is we'll cleaned and packed
in the bales in fine shape, all straight
with no kinks in it, which is very rare
with other marks. There is no need of
putting on burlap covers on the bales
at all. We do not like the wire ties
very well. ALI sisa1 is bound with fibre
bands and can be used, whereas the
wire has to be thrown away. The
weight of bale does not matter; 500
pound bale is all right, although the
usual size is from s75 to 400 pounds.
1.-THE fibre for good current sisal
should not be less than thirty-six inches
long; If put up any shorter it will bring
a lower price; we can use fibre TWEEN
ty-fours inches long but not as a No 1
fibre as by working it alone it makes
an uneven yarn and of course does not
make a nice looking rope.
IF there is any other information
that 1 can give you 1 shall be pleased
to do so. 1 should like very much to
get all the sisal we use from your place
that would be about 1900 tons a year"
The Hawaiian Fibre Company has
made two shipments to San Francisco,
or about twelve tons each time. The
Tubbs people waited until the second
shipment had arrived so as to compare
the two and found both of excellent
quality.

pounds a day." said Manager Turner !

A COMMENTED WOMAN.

Aside from form or features,
she has an attractiveness all her
own. The bloom on her cheek,
the elasticity in her step, the ring
of her voice, her enjoyment OF
life-all these are magnets which
draw others to her side. Wonder
full and valuable as it is, health is
not so difficult a thing to obtain
as some discouraged ones think.
Most of the troubles of women a.
rise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality and gene
raj debility. Modern science fur
nishes the most successful of REM
edies for these conditions, namely
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
1t is palatable as honey and con-
tains the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver OH,
extracted by us from fresh cod
liyers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts Of Malt and
Wild Cherry. Taken before meals
it improves the appetite, makes
fat, restores vitality, enriches the
blood and cures those weaknesses
peculiar to the sex, which are
the seat of their troubles. It is q
blessing to Tired Wives, Nursing
Mothers and Girls growing into
womanhood. It colours the pale
faces and rounds out the hollow
chests. In a word, it nourishes
and develops the entire body, and
brings happy surprises to feeble,
hopeless and discouraged suffer-
ers. DR.. f. J. Boyes says: 81
have found it a preparation OF
great merit. In a recent case
a patient gained nearly twenty
pounds IN two months treat
ment, in which it was the princf-
pal remedial agent" 1t is the
typical medicinal success of our
age, for time has proved our
claims are supported by results,
and remedy which acts in har-
mony with natures own efforts
and processes. No demand has
been made upon it for relief and
cure, that has not met with in
slant response. Effective from
the first dose. "You cannot be
disappointed in it." at chemists.

MONEY FOR
AGRICULTURE

Editor Advertiser: I notice in the
Governors message a request has beer
made for $4,000 to be appropriated by
the Territory, to supplement the Fed
eral appropriations for carrying on GER
J tain work for the special benefit of the
| stockmen and small farmers, and while
the Governor favors the general prop
osition he can not I'm view of the linn
tied income of the Territory see his
way to recommend all the items asked
for by DR.. Smith. aggregating the $12,-
900.
| AS a taxpayer and having a general
interest in seeing the agricultural de-
velopment of the Islands advanced
along the lines of a greater diversity
of production, it does not seem to me
the Governor has taken the proper view
of this matter, but should have cast
about to see where a little pruning
might be done, and secure not only
this sum in full, but an additional
amount for doing the Territory's part
towards establishing an agricultural
college, and thus secure the additional
appropriations endowed by Congress on
such institutions; and by one strong
effort thus put our Territory in advance
twenty years of what we will be if we
continue to fritter away our energies
as in the past. The establishment of
a dairy herd and cattle feeding station
and the other departments for which
DR.. Smith asks assistance would be of
incalculable value to the Islands
1t has been demonstrated by Prof.
Krauss of Kamehameha boys school
that the yield of the ordinary dairy
COW of the Islands can be doubled; this
by feeding tests and accurate records
covering the past years work at the
school. What does this mean to the
dairymen of Honolulu alone? Not only
would they more than double their in
milk, would get a better quality: in
stead of milk of 213 per cent to per
cent butter fat as at present, they
would get for the same price milk from
81 per cent to per cent butter fat
The work proposed by DR.. Smith is
along the same lines of scientific work
as have been done at the school in a |
small way; but which would be greatly
extended and elaborated, and made of !
practical use to every dairy man and |
stock raiser of the Islands. resulting |
in general Improvement in quantity and !
quality Of all animal products.

critic, but believe it is the duty of |

ton he feels may be of benefit to the

to be cut again. but will be given three
months longer growth before this IS
| done, so that each plant will be fully
| matured. We have had a favorable sea-
son and the rains have brought the
plants along nicely. We are using the
Todd fibre cleaning machine. One such
machine used at Cargill Creek, Andros'
Bahamas, gives 700 pounds a day with
eleven Iaborers in the mill and forty
laborers employed in the field. Another
mill there putting out 1000 pounds a
day employs eleven men in the mill and
fifty in the field We are putting out
the same number of pounds, or half
ton, with only twenty-five men. jap
anese are employed at our plantation
and they are painstaking laborers and
give the best results.
I'm this connection it might be of
interest to those interested in this new
industry that the receipts from the first
crop will pay for all the expenditures be-
ginning with the breaking of the ground
for the plants, putting up houses on
the land, putting in the water system,
mill machinery, wages and salaries, or
the total expenses up to the market
ing of this crop. In our case it was a
period of between three and four years
before the first crop was taken of.
Sometime ago 1 said we would have
in this country 100000 acres inside of
six years devoted to the cultivation of
sisal. What 1 mean by this is that the
sisal business will be so popular that
there will be enough plants raised here
in that time to cover 100000 acres of
land. The main question is the getting
of the plants for covering this area.
Our own plantation will give about
], 900, 900 plants a year. Financial opera
tors can readily see that sisal is a pay
ing business.
Last year thousands of plants were
taken to Mr.. Knudsen's place on Kauai
and are now being propagated and in a
short time they will be ready for plant
ing on the sandy area which / went
over and pronounced suitable for sisal.
1.-THE success which our company has
in this new industry demon
strates that it is a paying one ana that
there is a demand for every pc md of
sisal that can be produced. We are go
ing ahead with the increase of our area
of cultivation and will extend it stead
