A VERY "NOVEL"
OCCUPATION
IT IS THAT OF CONDENSING THE
LATEST NOVELS TO BE READ
IN AN HOUR.

There goes one of those condensers"
said the publisher pointing to a tall,
slender young fellow wearing glasses
and with a number of books under his
arm. His business is condesing novels,
and when man becomes an expert at
it he doesn't have to look for work.
This has been a very busy world for
some time. There are thousands Of
people who want to keep up with the
novels of the day but haven't the time
to read them as they are originally
written So there are hundreds of
readers and elocutionists who go about
reading condensed novels to literary
circles, clubs, church societies and pri-
vate families. The demand for read
ers for private families is growing as
tonishingly. The readers go to this
house or that one night a week, or
possibly twice a week. The head of
the house invites in a few friends or
maybe he and his family have the read
ing all to themselves. They don't
want a continuous performance;
they must have at least one story an
evening. If the stories they want are
too long for one evening they must be
cut down to fit the time. That fellow
who just walked past tackled The
Crisis little while ago. The order was
to cut the book down to two hours. He
found 1t took eight hours to read it as it
was written. 1t took him over a month
working regularly a part of every day
OF evening to cut it down. Then the
people who hired him made up their
minds that 1t must be shorter, so he
had to go to work to hack it down to
one hour and a quarter. What do you
think of that? He did 1t, although it
was a fearful job. 1t took him longer
to cut off that last 40 minutes than 1t
did to get rid of the first six hours.
1t requires more brains sometimes
to cut a book down than it does to
write it in the first place. Nothing
of importance must be left out. All
the strong features the pretty scenes,
the amusing dialog and so on, must be
left in. 1t is really surprising, how
ever, how little that Is important is
cut out. If you had read the original
Crisis and then heard the condensed
story you would have to cudgel your
brain a little to make out exactly what
Is missing. There's a knack about II,
as there is to anything else The con-
denser must first read the story care
fully 10 get it's general effect. Then
he very often reads 1t to study the
mechanism At first reading he has
seen passages that may be dropped and
no one be much the wiser. On sec
ond reading he takes out even more,
and pretty soon he has the thing cut
down perhaps half Very likely he
will now take a copy OF the book and

Bile was laid from the Silvertown an
rhored $50 fathoms from shore to the
cable station at Sans Souci on Sunday.
December 2S. The next day the cable
was carried out to a point about 8
miles southeast of Diamond Head and
there buoyed, leaving a section of about
30 miles uncompleted between the shore
section and the deep sea section. Rough
seas prevented the laying of this 30
miles until January 1, 1903.

TARO DISEASES.
Remedies Suggested in Experimental
Stations Pamphlet.

The second bulletin of the Hawaii
Agricultural Experiment Station has
just been issued bearing on the taro
disease with suggested remedies. A
history of the plant is included with
statistics of it's culture, the investment
in taro lands being now valued at half
a million dollars. 1t is said to be very
profitable.
Following the method of culture
comes an explanation of the rot which
principally affects wet land taro. The
disease is said to be due to soil condi-
tions lack of drainage and planting of
diseased bulbs. Rotation of crops from
taro to rice or bananas, two years out
of every five, is recommended. The
pamphlet is issued by T. f. Sedgwick
under the supervision of Jared G.
Smith.
