EAwAIr'S AMERICAN FROGS.
Have Been Introduced In the Islands
and Are Considered
Blessing.

American sovereignty is not the
only good that has come to Hawaii
from the United States" said DIR.
Hugh M. Smith, deputy commissioner
of fish and fisheries, in a Washington
report. American frogs are proving
to be great blessing to those islands.
Four years ago 72 were shipped from
California and set down in various
places around Hilo. They thrived and
multiplied, and have now been intro
duced into most of the Hawaiian is
lands.
"These batrachia, by cleaning stag
nant pools, have diminished sickness
among the herds of cattle, particular
ly on Kauai. They have also averted
the death of cattle and sheep by de-
vouring the fuke, little animal that
makes its habitat in Hawaiian grasses.
Though small this creature has the
power when swallowed to gnaw it's
way to vital organs of cattle and sheep
and cause death. For frogs, however.
the fiuke has been fattening diet. and
now cattle grazing in Hawaii is largely
rid of its former dangers and losses.
uotnST service rendered DIV frogs
is their warfare on noxious insects.
These batrachia are an edible variety.
but the way they set to work at once
to purify stagnant waters and purge
the islands of animal and insect pests
assured them immunity from capture.
Now, as frogs are plentiful, frog
hunting is beginning to be profitable
industry. They are purchased eagerly
in the markets of Honolulu. The sue
cess attending this recent introduc-
ton of frogs into the islands is in
marked contrast to an attempt made
number of years ago by an agricul-
tural society in Hawaii. Frogs were
imported and placed in taro patches,
but no trace Of them was ever found
afterward.n

in the chain of railways to these Dor
der posts. Every day sees Central
Asia turned more and more into vast
granary from which to draw commits
sary supplies for an army invading
India through the back door entrance
which Russia has obtained and could
hold despite any force which England
could send against her at such a point.
Every day aids in the perfection of her
governmental control, and the more
complete subsection of the nomad
tribes of Central Asia which she is
turning from enemies into patriotic
soldiers of the empire by her system
OF expenditures for improvements.
There is yet but one thing for Rus
sian diplomacy to accomplish if it has
not already done so. That is the ap-
peasing of Austria, and the purchase
of at least her neutrality. With that
accomplished the car should be ready
for the settlement of the eastern ques-
ton, from which it seems impossible
that he can secure anything but adj
vantage.
England will strongly oppose the
opening of the Dardanelles; she is
strongly opposed to the partition Of
Turkey, but would force governmental
reforms upon the sultan from humani-
tartan motives. But it is Russia, not
England, that seems best in position
to dictate the terms of settlement, and
if England likes them not she can meet
the forces of the czar on ground chosen
and fortified by him in anticipation
of such an occasion.
With thorough understanding Of
the situation and the conditions of to-
day it is not hard to imagine a war re-
sulting when the car is thoroughly
ready, but not until then. The day has
passed when England dares attempt
to force settlement, she realizes her
present weakness. And should such
war come it takes not a military
scholar to prophecy the probable re-
suit. 1t would change the map of Asia
more than it would the map of Europe.
Russian warships would pass in and
out of the Black sea unmolested:
northern China, Afghanistan and
Persia would in all probability be in
cluded within the Russian boundaries.
and the Russian standard would more
than likely float over at least the
northern portion of India. The united

and practically prevented opposition
from other powers, has made of France
a strong ally of Russia who will not
only countenance but assist in Russia's
Asiatic expansion whenever Russia
says the word. Russian diplomacy and
Russian loans have at least placed the
czar on an equal footing with the Eng
lish king in Afghanistan, and another
one, two or at the most three years
will see him paramount there and give
to his troops another entrance to the
back door of British India. Russian
rubles that are flowing into this coun-
try in payment for railway supplies,
agricultural implements and other
forms of manufactured goods, have at
least bought American Indifference, if
not American approval, to Russian ex-
pans1on In Central Asia, while the
russian diplomacy that has kept the
doors of North China open to Amer
lean trade, and by the reforms insti-
tuted made trading easier and safer,
has secured American sentiment in
ern continent.
Let US see what the internal energy
of Russia is doing toward advancing
the day of Russian domination in Asia,
Every day she is adding fresh levies
OF troops to the permanent garrisons
of Caucasia which touch the back door
of India. Every day is adding fresh
levies of troops to the Russian gar
risons in Manchuria and eastern Sic

careful study. A glance at history and
surprising state of affairs than is gen
orally understood to exist
Russia's fight for Siberia may be
said to have begun with the expedi-
tons of Yermak in the middle of the
fifteenth century, but her actual gov
ernmental control and garrison of the
country west of the Caspian did not oc-
cur until the beginning of the last
century, and the conquest of her vast
provinces in Central Asia did not be-
gin until after the first quarter of the
last century had passed.
Gradually she has pushed her influ-
ence and her troops southwark and
westward. In her westward march
she was not opposed excepting by the
wild tribes which could offer nothing
effective until met by japan in Corea.
England has watched with more alarm
her progress southwark toward the
borders of her Asiatic territory. Since
the middle of the last century she has
brought to life the prehistoric cities
which served as the cradle of the Asian
race, until to-day her southern Dor
dets touch the back door of India, her
influence is dominant in Persia, and is
growing stronger week by week in
Afghanistan.
Russian Cossacks have exchanged
shots with the British forces over the
borders of India, and brought about
strained relations which seemed to
foretell certain war. But the car was
not ready. Diplomacy could yet gain
more territory, and internal energy
could provide more of the sinews of
war when the time for war came.
Let us see what Russian diplomacy
and Russian money has accomplished.
The latter has bought predominanee
in Persia and railway route from the
borders of Russia to the Red sea
The line which is being constructed
over this route will be of inestimable
value in time of war with England-if
that comes. The diplomacy that per-
mitted Germany to obtain valuable
railway concessions in Asiatic Turkey
purchased the neutrality of that coun-
try if war ever comes between Russia
and England, and prevents the German
kaiser from meddling in the delicate
eastern question at inopportune times.

French expansion in southern China,

Russia Is Pushing Her
Invasion Of Asia ~ ~
She May An Time Control Practically Oft
Vast Continent.

HERE are possibilities, even
,EEA, probabilities, back of the
NdhN present agitation of the
NyNE Turkish and Macedonian
49, question which are scarcely
spoken of by the diplomats
of Europe, that are practically I'M
known by the common people, and yet
which are of such grave Importance
as to threaten the very life of Europe's
greatest nation-England
Russia and Austria are commonly
supposed to be the two nations with
the greatest interest in the settling
of the Macedonian question. England
is generally supposed to be interested
only from the humanitarian stand
point. But England has far deeper
interest than that. Out of this ques-
ton English statesmen see the pos
slble loss of England's great Asiatic
possessions.
England's alliance, defensive and Of
tenslve, with Japan has greater sig
nlhcance than the mere keeping open
the doors of China, and the preventing
of the partition of that country. The
interest of English statesmen in the
rapid strengthening of Japan's naval
fleet is based on more than the main
tanning of the open door in China. Eng
land sees in Russia's advance eastward
and southwark a menace not only to
1er interests in China, but to her in
:erests in all Asia.
Is Russia to eventually control all of
Asia? 1t is a question that will bear

CHANGES IN PORTO RICO.
The New Colony Rapidly Becoming

There can be no doubt in the mind

Porto Ricans are enthusiastic over the

essarily heavy on both lines, since the
San Juan line provides the quickest
transit to the suburbs of Santurce and
Rio Piedras and the Ponce road con-
meets the city with the Playa, or sea-
port, two miles distant. Crowds of
Porto Ricans take the round trip by
day and night for the mere pleasure
OF the journey.
In the heart of the island along the
famous military road one meets Amer
lean automobiles, some of them with
native chauffuers, and the barefooted
wayfarers betray hardly as much con-
Germ over their passage and no more
curiosity than the average pedestrian
