some OF real value. others nongeasical.
but probably one Of the latest IS the
testing Of vino by means Of The tc!e-
phone. According to tho Paris cOrrc-
spoudent OF Q London daily paper. O
III. Mnneuvrier, director CT the ldb0ra-
tory of researches Of The Paris Faculty
Of scieaces, has discovered an infalli-
bic method of ascertaining by means of
tho telephone how much 4 given GUAM
tity OF wine he's been waterel. The
principle on which tho invention rests
is the variable ~conductiyity of different
liquids. notably vino and water. The
originality of N. Maneuvrier's inGcni-
Gus application is his use OF the tele-
phone to determine to wh2t degree the
liquid under observation is q conduc-
tor.
He has constructed an apparatus,
the details of which are not given,
which is said to achieve this object
satisfactorily and accurately. "
The apparatus works az follows:
Two vessels, I containing wine
known to be pure. ard the other the
same quantity of the wine to be tested,
are placed on an instrument outwsrGly
resembling a pair CT scales. The tele-
phone Ia IN contact with both liquids,
If the sample Of wine under observa-
ton Is as pure IS the standard used
for comparison TO sound is heard; If,
on the contrary, it contains water, the

entered the harbor today, for the first

Eleele laden with 1880 bags of sugar
after the voyage of twenty-five days.
The Hawaii is a new vessel, having
been built in Dumbarton in 1900. Since
being launched, the barkentine has
been twice around the world but has
never called at her home port. She
is a fine type of a modern sailing YES

The disease from which Miss Good

cause of the wonderful cures effected by

dies and other varieties.
Some of the other firms also take
orders for fireworks, but this year it
is reported there were none, not even
from the other islands where celebra-
tions are to be held today. One man
had a hard time getting firecrackers
yesterday because he didn't want to
buy the goods for an American cele-
bration from a Chinese firm.
The sale of flags and bunting this
year was only an added proof of the
lack of interest, due to hard times, in
Americas great anniversary day.
B. F. Ehlers & Co. reported that
most of the stock of flags purchased
this year was still on hand. A year
ago the entire stock of decorations had
been sold out several days before the
Fourth.
Pearson & Potter reported a very
small sale of flags as compared to 9TH
err years. There were few sales of
large flags, though one forty foot flag
had been sold Many small flags were
purchased however.
At the Golden Rule Bazaar it was
said that the sale of flags and bunt-
ing this year did not exceed ten per
cent of former years. One instance
was related where a Japanese bought
five dozen flag badges.
Everywhere the reason given for the
lack of interest in the Fourth was the
failure to provide for a public cele-

Patriotism won't even be at par this
Fourth of July if the sale of fire works
and flags is to be taken as a criterion.
Merchants handling these necessary
adiuncts of a modern Independence
Day celebration were almost unani-
nous in the conclusion that this
Fourth of July is to be far below the
usual standard. The sales of both fire
works and flags have been very small
indeed as compared with former years.
OF course the stores will be closed
and there will be a general cessation
of business, but there is no regular

BILE for the lack of enthusiasm mani
