Untimely Discovery.

-== Untimely Discovery.
"Have they killed the snake yet?'
feebly asked the sufferer lying on the
rude couch.
Eyes, sir!.' joyfully exclaimed the
man who had just returned from the
thicket at the edge of the clearing. I'VE
have. And it wasn't a rattlesnake at
all. 1t was only a big hlacksnale. You
needn't he scared a bit. You're all
right"
You needn't have been in such a
blamed hurry about it." muttered the
sufferer.

The value of the endowments of in
situations of higher education in the
single state of New York exceeds the
total amount of ~benefactions for SINH
lar purposes raised during thirty years
in the whole of the United Kingdom.
The same is nearly true in the states of
Massachusetts and of California.
Extensive experiments with subma-
rine boats will be made by the navy de-
partment this fall. The government
now has five submarine boats, and it
wishes to have a sufficient number of
officers and men thoroughly familiar
with their management to make prac-
teal use of them in case of necessity.
Besides the rel increasing revenue
from thousands of travellers Italy is
earning increased sums by her rapidly
reviving manufactures. The waters Of
the Alps and Apennines are giving her
as cheap power by of electrical
plants as coal is furnishing to Bel
giumyGermany, England and the Unit
ed States.
When a nickel with a big V gets into
the United States treasury it goes to
the melting pot because of the danger
Of its being gilded and passed for a five
dollar gold piece. Twenty cent pieces
have the same fate because they are no
longer used. Old copper cents are
melted with tin and zinc added to
make new cents.
The value of the manufactures con-
sumed in the United States amounts to
about $S,000,00O 900 year, and of this
American manufacturers furnish 50
and foreign manufacturers about 5 per
cent, while the amount which Ameri-
can manufacturers export just about
equals that which foreign manufacture
ers send into this country.
A Bavarian chemist is making an il
Eliminating fluid by a process of recti-
flying the methane and hydrogen from
the other constituents of oil gas, col
lecting them in steel receivers subject
to a pressure of forty atmospheres,
whereby he converts them into liquid
form. The cost is Is cents per 100
heat units against 6.45 for electricity.
The bringing of wild beasts from the
jungle is an immense business, and the
demand greatly exceeds the supply.
City geological gardens, eccentric per-
ons wanting cubs and m~illionaires
with private parks are important mar

however, would gladly take all the
jungle beasts which reach New York
alive.
A municipal committee Of Glasgow
appointed to determine the effect of al

The Washington state fish commits
sion reports that fish can be frozen
solid and thawed back to life if not
exposed to the SUI or allowed to get
more than L to IA degrees below the
freezing point. Salmon from the Pa
cific coast could be frozen and trans
ported to the Atlantic coast and resus-
citated to full life under proper condi-
tons. The result of this test will be
that live salmon frozen in blocks of ice
may be shipped to the Atlantic coast
market before long.

Mr.. Gilman stated quite forcibly that
the installation of reservoirs in Nuuanu
Valley Ito hold twenty-five to thirty
| million~gallons of water would do away
with the present expensive system of
pumping, and eventually make large
saving to the city. There was need for
| shaving down expenses, even though
the department collected revenue to the
amount of $4,000 per year over and
, above all expenses.

We're appointed to select furniture for
the county offices.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon the Supervisors took
up the Circuit Court items and decid-
ed to cut down the recommendation of
$4,000 for jury and witness fees, to
$4,000. The pay of each of the three
stenographers for the court, recon-
mended at 5000 per month, was cut
down to $3.50. The salaries of the SUI
preme Court clerks, at present $3.50 and
$133 per month, will remain the same,
and the clerks to each of the judges will
also receive but 500 each per month";
instead of being advanced to $3.50. It
was taken into consideration that the
clerks receive fees for certain work per-
formed by them. The pay of the baiiiffs
will remain at $S5 each per month.
The interpreters will be paid s125 each
per month with the exception of the
Portuguese interpreter who will receive
s100 per month. The sum of $500 will be
allowed for extra Interpreting.
There was considerable discussion
again over the District Magistrates for
Honolulu. 1t was suggested that the
salary of Judge Dickey be reduced and
that of Judge Lindsay increased. This
was almost decided on when it was
recommended that the salary of the
First District Magistrate (Dickey) be
cut out altogether and the salary of the
Second District Magistrate 0indsay)
be increased to $3.50 per month. 1t was
satisfactorily explained that Judge
Lindsay could do the work of both
courts by keeping his court open from
8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Judge Lindsay
wanted another clerk in addition to the
one he now has, and suggested a clerk
speaking Chinese He personally could
interpret Hawaiian, Portuguese and
Spanish, and make saving in the de-
partment of about $3.50 a month. The
matter was taken under consideration.
1t was decided to leave the salaries
of the outside district magistrates as
they are.
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1903-12-31

Second District Magistrate, and sew
eral deep cuts were made in the Cir
cult Court items.
The supervisors present were J. A.
Gilman, John Lucas, A. Hooking, S. K.
Mahoe and ]. M. Kealoha, Harry Muir
ray, County Clerk, and Chris. Willis,
County Surveyor.
Surveyor Willis recommended the al
lptment of two assistants in his de-
partment, as maps of Oahu, including
roads, etc, had to be duplicated for
use in his office. In answer to state
ment that all present public records
relating to his office would be turned
over to him, Mr.. Willis replied that he
did not believe the Public Works De-
partment had all the maps that would
be required by him. The supervisors
suggested that only one man be en-
ployed at first at a salary of $3.50 per
month. The Supervisors agreed to the
employment of one man at the salary
stated.
Clerk Murray stated that the super
intendent of the sewer pumping sta
received sl25 per month, the surveyor
surveyor and engineer, $75.
The supervisors agreed that the tug
Eleu be dispensed with by the county.
1t was suggested by Mr. Gilman that
if the work now being done by the ex-
cayator department be taken up by
some one on a contract basis, a reve-
nue. might accrue to the government,
and the present expense could then be
cut down. 1t was also suggested that
the surveyors department could take
charge of the sewer pumping station
and the surveyor do the engineering
work, thus saving monthly salary of
s100.
The statement was made that Dis
trict Attorney Rawlins was endeavor-
ing to secure Judge Lindsay, at pres
ent the magistrate of the police court
to be his deputy. The supervisors
were practically unanimous in having
Judge Lindsay remain at his present
post. 1t was further suggested that
Judge Lindsay could perhaps do the
work of Judge Dickey's court as well.
AS outlined in the Advertiser yester-
day, it was brought to the attention of
the supervisors that the road depart
ment force is too large and expensive.
Upon the advice of Mr.. Hooking, how
ever, the matter will De given full in
vestigation before any decision is
reached as to what economy shall be
practiced in this department.
At this juncture Supervisor Robinson
came in, accompanied by Mr.. Sproull,
'bookkeeper of the Road Supervisor s
office. Mr. Sproull stated that in his
opinion the Office force could not be
reduced. He was personally engaged
in new work and it was necessary to
work overtime.
Chairman Gilman presented the fol-
lowing estimates for the Road Depart
ment office force: Road Supervisor,
5000; assistant supervisor for Fourth
District, s125; same. Fifth District, s125;
bookkeeper. $3.50; clerk, SIPS: office boy,
$50, total of s775 as against the 1920
being paid each month at the present
time.
The Water Works Department was
next discussed. A list of employees
presented to the Board showed that the
total expenses incurred through their
employment amounted to $2,7T.
