A RECENT DISCOVERY.

Among the most magnificent and ex-
tensive architectural ornaments of the
Romans were the baths erected by the
different emperors for the use of the
populace, and the vast ruins still exist
ing testify to their great size and the
unparalleled luxury of their arrange
ments. The public baths of Pompeii
were uncovered in 1924 and the COM
plete internal arrangement disclosed,
which is probably similar to, though on
smaller scale than those of Rome.
The public bath was common in Greece
during the historic period, and they
were in use at Rome from early times.
each bath was built entirely of stone
and polished marble, and all Of the
apartments were beautifully ornament
ed with mosaic, and profusedly adorned
with paintings. One of Caracalla' S
baths was capable of allowing $4,000
people to battle at one time. In Ho-
nolulu the only bath is Bath the
Plumber and his Douglass Closet.

Kahaliwai, native, testified that he
was on the car. The old man came out
of the hotel premises and went toward
the car. He looked up but did not
stop. The motorman was ringing the
bell, but the native kept on and then
came the collision The motorman
was putting on his brakes then. The
old man was twelve feet away from
the track when he looked up.
Manager Ballentyne was called. He
said if the car was running five miles
an hour it was running about five feet

be stopped in a car length and half.

started to cross the track and almost
instantly he was on the fender. The

forenoon at the time of the accident.
He was in his hack; he heard a car

He was asked whether, while reading

The Jury Says That Rapid Transit
Employees Should Exercise
More Care.

The jury impanelled to investigate
the death of Pelapela, the native who
died Monday night at the Queens
hospital from injuries received in col
lision with car No. 25 on Monday near
Hhards and Hotel streets, brought in
the following verdict:
'Aphat the said Pelapela came to his
death at Honolulu on September 2S,
1903, from hemorrhage of the brain,
caused by colliding with a certain
electric car of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Company, to wit, car

1--WE further find that while no blame
attaches in this instance, to the motor
man and conductor of said car No. 20,

acted from the employees of the Homo

present is exacted."

borrow cents for car fare, and it is
no uncommon thing for Uncle Russell
Sage to be broke" The other evening
man of no small prominence in the
community found himself at Thirty
fourth street and Sixth avenue with 4
cents in his clothes, and he was in a
hurry to go home, on the upper west
side. Not caring to have check
cashed at a bar or hotel, and feeling a
delicacy in approa ching a stranger on
so trivial subject, he appealed to the
crippled newsboy who plies his trade
at the foot Of the elevated stairs for
the loan Of a cent "Surt! exclaimed
the capitalist, hauling out fistful Of
coins; won't you help yourself? Whut
good will penny do gintleman the

cent and rode home. On the following
afternoon he stepped off the train at
Thirtyfourth street and slipped 81
cents into the boys hand. "But what

piled the borrower "The cent you

An American woman who was lately
in London for the first time is con-
WINGED that whatever the language
may be which the cockneys speak it is
not English. One Of her experiences is
related by the Washington Post.
The woman wished to see the city all
by herself. Somebody told her that if
she went to the terminus of some bus
lines, it did not matter which, and
ductor call out the places on the route
and then could choose that which she
wished to visit.
She found a place where buses were
arriving and departing and waited.
She heard many curious names, but
failed to understand much that the bus
men said. Every now and then The
man on the step of a bus would call
out, "Moblotch, MobIotch" and she
wondered what part of London "Mob-
lotch" might be. She had never heard
of it before, and she had been studying
London for six months. At last she
ventured to address conductor who
looked approachable.
"Will you kindly tell me-" she said
''where one takes the bus for the Mar
BILE arch?"
The man looked at her pityingly
Her American accent was thick upon
her, and he perceived also that she
must be deaf. He leaned toward her
and drew long breath. Then he bel
lowed:

Automobile Dust Trial.

One of the features Of the reliability
trials by the London Automobile club
at the Crystal Palace was a dust
trial" At three points in the banked
up cycle track half the roadway was
covered with an inch layer of flour
mill sweepings. One automobile acted
as pilot to the competing car, in order
that the speed, which was approx
mately thirty miles an hour, might be
gagged, and as the competing car few
through the -four two cameras record
ed the cloud of dust" The lesson
taught by the dust trials was that the
lower and more cumbersome the gear
and boxes under the body of the car
the greater is the dust raised.-Chi-
