succes.fal War ON Ants.


Large numbers of ants can be de-
stroyed by liberal use of boiling water,
kerosene emulsion or strong soap suds
poured over the nests at night when the
insects are all at home, but the more
effective is a substance known as carbon
bisulphide, which may be used in the
following manner: Make some holes
some inches apart and several
inches deep with broomstick
or bar in the nests, and pour
in each about teaspoonful of carbon
.bisulphide. and cover the nests with a
wet blanket, and after q few minutes ex-
plode the fumes collected underneath
with match or other light on the end
of a short stick. This treatment. If re-
peated one or two times, should de-
stroy all the occupants Of nest Coun-

PLANT LIFE ELEMENTS.
Nitroxe. Is the Most Important and
shows Its Eject In variety
Of Ways.

Each element used by plant life helps
In the, building of certain parts Of the
plant, and likewise, doubtless, each has
some one or more special functions.
What some Of these are, says a late
Vermont station bulletin, is not we'll un-
derstood, but some are known. Nitro
gen ts known to show It's effects on plant
life ii three ways. Itpromotes stem and
leaf growth, and, IL in excess, delays
seed and fruit formation. It deepens
the green celebration Of the leaves. It's
abundance may increase and its def
cheney may lessen the relative amount
of nitrogen In the plant. This means q
variation in food value. If nitrogen is
freely applied in fertilizers, or is pres
ent IN plentiful quantities in, the soil, its
effect Is generally shown-unless its
effect be negatived by phosphoric acid
~ vigorous, dark-green leaf growth,
and by somewhat retarded flower and
seed formation If available nitrogen is
relatively lacking, either in the soil or in
the added fertilizer, somewhat more
scanty foliage than occurs under bet
ter conditions of rather lighter
green's grown. The seed, moreover, is
apt to mature rather earlier than usual.
The farmer may, by careful observation,
Judge somewhat as to the crop needs in
this manner. It should be remembered
in this connection that nitrogen is essen
tial to plant growth, that available nito-
gen is. in small quantity and easily ex-
hausted from soils, and that consequent
ly It is and always has been the most
costly form Of plant food.

The SYMPTOMS EVIL CHARMS.
strange De,aefs Of swiss Peasa.ts re-
gardIng the Great Tanael Well
Founded.

Three strange and mighty natural phe-
nomena of uncommon kinds have acted
almost like three evil charms to hinder
the completion Of the great Simplon
tunnel in Europe. The peasants there
have declared that the mountain gnomes
and manikins are trying to fight the men
who are boring great hole through
their sacred mountain.
The first strange occurrence was IL
years ago, when the blow Of pick
broke into q tremendous subterranean
sea that began Immediately to pour
out of the solid rock with roar like
that Of Niagara.
It swept away everything before Il
and hundreds of workmen we're saved
only By swimming with the rushing
flood. At first the engineers expect
ed that the water would run OF within
q few days, but days. weeks and months
passed and the water was still rushing
in undiminished volume, so that all the
work was stopped.
At last a bed was blown into solid
rock and the waters were turned into
it. They are rushing through 1t, maxi
ing it respectable river.
Scarcely had this danger been avoid
ed before the tunnel began to slide and
bend strangely. This was found to be
due to rock that was so soft that It could
not bear the pressure Of the mighty
mountain on top Of it. Immense sums
of money had to be spent to counteract
this, and every new cutting has had to
be surrounded with cement and con-
crete.
Before the engineers had more than
finished their work over this phenome-
non the Swiss end Of the tunnel began
to grow hot. Day by day the heat in
creased, until it was so great that It
blistered the skin of the workmen. driv-
ing them out of the cuttings. The costly
ventilating appliance proved useless
against this growing heat, that finally
became too deadly to permit human be-
ing to enter
Investigations proved that the heat
was due to big accumulations of hot
water that seeped through the rock
there in thousand veins.
Again the engineers had to call for
immense sums of money to install new
devices to fight the new enemy. They
have succeeded. Although 1t is still so
hot in the tunnel that the visitor per-
spires as soon as he enters. the work
is proceeding rapidly. And the hot wa
ter has been chained. It has been set
to drive drills and other machinery.

Members of the House and Senate
are figuring on going home next week
and many people think that this will
be the best thing some of them have
done since they came. The Senate is
through and might quit at any time,
but the House will require another
week Yesterday two new bills APP
peared, one to appropriate $1,000 for
the services of E. p. Dole in the Osaki
Mankichi case and the other to set
aside $1,000 for band expenses. AT
the quickest possible speed they can
not go to the Governor before next
Tuesday.
The Legislature will probably beat the
last one by a few days. Two years
ago the siXtieth day of the extra ses-
sion. the 120th day in ALL found the
appropriations still in the air and H..
f. Cooper acting governor, extended
the session for fourteen days. On the
69th day the Banderlogs adjourned
sine die.
The length of the session this time
has made it a very heavy expense to
some of the members A hundred and
twenty days is a third of a year. which
is more time, say some members than
they will ever give again to such af-
fairs.

ROASTED THE
CAPTAIN
LARS DAMAGES TO A SAILOR OF THE JAMES TUFT.
BECAUSE THE VESSEL DIDN'T TAKE HIM TO THE
NEAREST PORT WHEN HE WAS INJURED

Judge Estee this morning rendered
a decision awarding $500 damages to
Singfred Langaas, seaman of the
barkentine James Tuft, because the
captain did not put into the nearest
port at once when Langaas met with
an accident which broke his leg. The
accident was caused by the loosenng
of a spar, but the court holds that there
was no negligence shown except after
the injuries.
When the accident took place, the
court says, the vessel was 100 miles
from Newcastle, 1900 miles from Ia
hiti and 40 from Auckland, while II
days later she was only 60 miles from
Tahiti. Captain Freidburg made the
- days trip to Honolulu, with the dis
abled sailor in the second mates cabin.
Langaas is still barely able to walk
and his right leg is three inches shorter
than the other. The court says:
But whatever | may hold as to the
failure of libellant to sustain his claim
for damages against the ship by rea-
son of the negligence of the ships Of
ficers in causing the injury, which was
not made clear, there is no doubt what
ever but what he is entitled to dam
ages for the gross negligence of the
Captain in failing to put into the near
est port at the time of the injury or as
soon thereafter as it was possible to
do so, to get proper surgical aid for this
man.
THE maritime law is sensitive as to
the rights of seamen and rigorous in
providing for their protection. When
injured in the service of the ship or
disabled by illness, they are entitled to
be cared for and cured if possible at
the expense of the vessel; and where
that duty is not performed and the sea-
man suffers from the neglect, theaship
is liable in damages for the suffering
and pain caused by such failure.

SO LONG

The approaching end of the session
Tevives the question, what will the
House do with it's vouchers? Efforts to
make them public so far have caused
threats of designations and it has been
stated by more than one member that
their publication would have broken
up the session. 1t has also been
stated by members that they show
crookedness and corruption and will
never see the light of day, unless in
doctored form.
The lawmakers from the windward
island are figuring that they will be
able to take the steamer Mauna Loa
a week from tomorrow, returning home
to tell their thrilled constituents what
they said and did. especially what they
said. The Capitol building will be
quiet again, as soon as the throne-room
echoes die out and the heads of exc
cutive departments will tackle their
work free from the bothers of investi-
cations by political grafters, clothed
for a brief period with authority and
dignity as clerks of special commit
tees, set to work to find out something
to knock" somebody. The Territory
including the grafters, will settle down
to another period of building hopes on
the next legislature"

the office Of George A. Davis?' appear
ed to be the main question when the
Sumner disbarment proceedings were

morning with r. w. Cathcart on the

by Attorney General Andrews as to the
gathering of clans in the Boston build
ing, when it was proposed to make a
trust deed to Cathcart, for the Ellses.
Cathcart got 81 900 in the settlement
and he was very anxious to tell the
court how and why, but the court said
he wasn't on trial and wouldn't listen.
Cathcart insisted that HightOn had
refused to go to Davis office and said
someone else had gone, after a docu-
ment. Cathcart said that he had never

rum for the products of the South Sea
Islands. (See Annuaire de Tahiti OF

in defiance of the established rules OF
the maritime law and the commonest
dictates of humanity, the Captain of
this vessel instead chooses to carry
this MANNED seaman on through these
tropic seas for nearly three weeks
longer, deprived of the medical atten-
tion which he was entitled to have un-
der the law, and which was practically
within his reach. The fact that libel
