The reason that commercial educa-
ton has received but little attention in
England till now, says Consul Harris,
is because the people have a highly
developed instinct for trade. Then,
again, the geographical position of the
country, together with a combination
of circumstances, has greatly assisted
England to become the first commercial
nation in the world. In Germany
France, Austria and oher nations of
Europe the unfavorable geographical
position and adverse circumstances
have awakened the people of those
countries to a realization of the fact
that it is only a superior educational
training that will put the merchants
and manufacturers in positil n 10 COM

DR.. Bishops theory of a seismic dis

turbance at Honokahau, Maui, which
was reported in Saturdays Star was
only another instance of what DR..
Bishop pointed out. The disturbance,
whatever it was, was outside the sphere
of telegraphic influence, since other
wise we should have heard of it at least
on November 80, if not on November 20,
for the telegraph can outstrip an earth
quake, fast as the latter travels. No
doubt scientists will be agog all over

they have the information laid before
them. ..
