ISLAND WEATHER
REPORT CABLED

Prof. Lyons/sent his firtt weather re-
port to San Francisco yesterday noon,
announcing the cold wave. The Cali
fornia people can get warning from here
of a coming frost, perhaps sooner than
from any other source. When a cold
wave is on here, as at present, it is
probable that blighting frost will
reach the coast within four or five days
The value, therefore, of a regular
weather report from here, will be ap-
preciated by California fruit-growers
Prof. Lyons says that the present
weather report is experimental, but he
anticipates that, when it's value is seen,
it will become a regular feature of the
U. S. Meteorological service. That is
the hope of the weather people at
Washington and particularly of Prof.
McAdie at San Francisco, whose desire
to have Honolulu service is of long
standing. After the Manila service is
opened the bureau will want a 2:3O a. m.
report for the Washington weather map
dated at a. m. Prof. Lyons says he
will see them further before he will get
up at that hour.
The following cable correspondence
has passed between Prof. Lyons and the
Weather Bureau:

BURTON STANDS
UP FOR HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-SeRator
Burton of Kansas says that he will
zgain offer his amendment to admit
Chinese into Hawaii as agricultural

Mitchell in the debate on my amend
hent admitted that great industrial and
financial depression exists in the islands
which can be cured only by the admis
kion of agricultural laborers who will
work in that tropical sun. White men
zsEiH not, nor will the Hawaiian natives.
It is significant that while the amend

How We Locate q Sound.

The detection Of the direction Of a

Jects at different distances, one or
those instructive operations which are
continually done without any con-
scious method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
pies stir the water, and the ear, by
experience, acquires some slight pow
er in detecting the direction in one
case. as the eye does with far greater
accuracy in the other. Usually we
unconsciously receive assistance from
other senses as we'll. Often we fail
to locate at once some hidden source
of sound, such as singing bird, and
then our instructive ingenuity displays
itself.
The intensity of sound is, of course
by no means so great behind a screen
as in front of it, and every one carries
with him the screen Of his own head.

Loaded Sponges.

The great evil in the sponge business
at the present time. is the, loading, OF
sponges. Sheepswool sponges are
nearly all loaded, while occasionally
lots Of yellow and grass sponges are
also adulterated in this way. The
loading is done for the purpose of in
creasing the weight of the sponge.
Rock salt, glucose, molasses, lead.
gravel, sand and stones are the SUBJ
stances generally used. Most OF the
warehouses have watertigN bins In
which glucose or molasses, sand and
rock salt are mixed together in water.
According as more or less weight is
desired, the quantity of certain OF the
ingredients is increased or decreased.
The sponges are thoroughly soaked in
this preparation. and are then run
through an ordinary clothes wringer,
or laid on an inclined rack and allowed
to drain into the bin. Some years ago
the loading of sponges was quite COM
mon, and became such an evil in the
trade that an agreement was made by
the dealers that loading would be
abandoned. This agreement was lived
up to until within the last two or three
years, when certain dealers resumed
the practice. AS the loading enabled
the buyers to pay more for their
sponges and still not increase the price
to their customers, the buyers who
had not taken it up were compelled
to do so in self-defense. Most buyers
would gladly abandon the leading II
the agreement was made unanimous.

MAKING BOWLING BALLS.
Skill and Careful Workmanship Required
to Produce Spheres.

Skill and Careful Workmanship Required
to Produce Spheres.
The popularity of bowling has grown
to such an extent in all parts of the
United States that the manufacture of
bowling balls, pins and alleys has be-
come an industry which gives employ
ment to thousands of men. While the
work of constructing the alleys does
not require any great amount of in
genuity, it is in the shaping and mod
cling of bowling balls that great skill
and careful workmanship are re-
quired.
Bowling balls are made almost ex-
clusively out Of wood from the West
Indies and Central American countries,
known as lignumvitae, one of the
hardest woods known. There are sew
eral agents in those countries buying
up this wood all the year round. 1t
is shipped in the rough for the factory
in chunks about four to six feet IN
length and varying in diameter from
six to twenty inches.
The logs are put into a specially
constructed cylinder and cut into
blocks, after which the edges are
rounded with band saw. The rough
balls are then turned over to expert
mechanics, who, with the aid Of turn-
ing lathes, gradually plane them down
to the required size.
The balls are then slnoothed with
sandpaper turner, receive a coat OF
shellac and oil, and are complete, with
the exception of the finger holes, which
are frequently bored to measure while
you wait" A similar process is used
in the manufacture of pins, which are
turned out of Georgia pine and maple
blocks, for the most part, these pins
being considered the best by reason
of their durability and fineness.
Old balls can be turned down once,
but after that they are useless. The
pins do not last as long as the balls,
and an average of five sets year are
used to an alley. The regulation
bowling ball weighs about sixteen
pounds and is twenty-seven inches IN
circumference. In a set Of fourteen
balls four Of them are Of regulation
size and range from that size down to
the smallest size, used in the cooked
hat game. A ball Of the regulation
size costs from s. to $3.50, but many
extra fine ones are made to order.

On Charge Of Gambling.


I.R Ramsey, manager at Columbia
of the brokerage firm OF A. B. Bax'
ter & Co., of Spartanburg, was tried in
MAGISTRATE Kirby's court a few days
ago on the charge Of operating gam
bling business and was bound over to
the next term Of the sessions court IN
the sum Of $500.
. The case grew out Of a, complaint
on the part of one R. C. Gordon, who
recently lost some $500 or $1,000 in
cotton speculations through Ramsey's
exchange.
The prosecutor alleges that he was
unfairly dealt with in being closed
out, when, according to his statement
he could have protected the margins.
Mr.. Ramsey, on the other hand,
claims that the contracts were closed
out when they were because he did not
care to carry them on his own respon-
sibility, as this is not custom in
exchanges.
The case will be watched with inter-
est because of the bearing it may
have on cotton and stock exchanges In
this state and throughout the south.
II necessary, it will be carried to
the highest courts for final hearing.
