Bureau)
penditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1908.
Considerable space in the report is de-
voted to a resume of the work of the
division of manufacturers, one of the
most important branches of the bureau.
This division has had charge of the work
of collecting statistics relating to electric
and street railways. mines and quarries,
electric light and power plants. employees
and wages, cotton production and all
things relating to manufactures.
With regard to the work done in the
collection of cotton statistics, Mr.. North
says:
Another branch Of work intrusted to
this division has been the collection of
statistics OF the quantity of cotton ginned
in the United States from the crop of
1902, in accordance with the provisions
of section 8 of the act establishing the
permanent census Office. Compliance
with this provision of law has required
the employment of GIG local special
agents. located in as many counties
throughout the cotton-growing states,
and also considerable office force.
Three bulletins were issued during the
cotton-ginning season. The first COW
cred the cotton ginned up to October 49,
and the second to December 13, and the
third the quantity ginned from the entire
growth of 1902. In addition to the coll
lection of the statistics the field and Of
rfa hn ofS foI 90 Of
! ginneries, which now contains the names
of 32,753 gins, of which 3o,94S were ac-
tive during the season of1902 The coll
lection of these statistics required that
three reports should be obtained from
each of these gins, making a total of
92,S44 reports, which were obtained by
a personal visit to each gin. The ra-
pidity with which this vast number of
reports was secured, transmitted to the
census Office, tabulated, added and the
results made public, is an indication of
the perfection of the machinery for the
collection of statistics of this character.
''The cost of the field service required
in this inquiry for the season of 1902
was $5S,0S0. For the crop season of
1903 five reports are contemplated, and
the cost of the service will this year
be increased accordingly, and will reach
approximately s97,500 In view of the
enormous Importance of the cotton crop,
and the advantage to planters and con-
sumers which comes from early and ac-
curate information as to the size of the
crop, 1t is believed that this annual ex-
penditure on the part of the government
is warranted. The census Office was en-
.abled. by its perfected machinery, to
give the public an accurate and final
statement of the size Of the crop Of 1902
rs early as April 1 Of the present year.

An amusing story is told OF how one

(Curious instrument Made by Man in
New Jersey)
At that time the lobster weighed liz
pounds. A single claw weighed 5A
pounds. The claw that Mr. Dadmun pre-
served. after the lobster had gone the
way of such things. was 1914 inches long,
z inches broad and 81 inches thick.
Preserved among other curiosities OF
the Dadmun household, the giant claw
remained claw for many years. One
day 1t occurred to its owner that 1t was
shaped something like violin, and he
tried the experiment of fashioning 1t TO
look more like that popular musical
instrument After much patient effort
Mr.. Dadmun managed to transform the
claw into violin that could be played.
The tone was sweet, but not loud enough
for an orchestra. Experiment proved
that by changing the fittings and settings
the tone could be made much louder.
AS it is now the violin when played prop
erly sounds exactly like any other vio-
lin. 1t Is doubtless the most curious
musical instrument ever made.

A CURIOUS VIOLIN.
Strange Musical Instrument Made
from Lobster's Claw by
Kew Jersey Genius.

The only violin II the world made
from the claw OF giant lobster has
just been completed by John II. Dadmun.
VI 429 Berkley street, Camden. N. j.
This unique instrument strange to say,
can be made to produce as sweet musical
tones as any high-class violin. Its own
er gives the following as the story OF
its life:
The lobster from which the claw was
taken was caught off Gloucester, Mass,
in March, 1862. In time it-cHme to Cons

MOLOKAI AND LANAI WILL
BE CUT OUT OF WIRELESS
Being Made Which Will Com
pIeteIy Change the Workings of the
Wireless Telegraph System.

The islands Of Lanai and Molokai are
to be cut out of the wireless telegraph
system upon it's reorganization to in
clude Kauai. The two stations on
these islands were never of any COM
merciaI value to the company, except
ing as an intermediate way-station in
communicating with Hawaii.
Manager Cross has already begun
on the rehabilitation of the system and
expectes to have everything in working
shape shortly after the first of July.
There will be no necessity for relay
messages under the reorganized sys-
tenn except in communication with Ha-
wall, the messages for which must pass
through the Lahaina station. The
greatest distance over which messages
are now sent is eighty-three miles, be-
tween I.ahaina and Mahukona, near
Hilo; but it is planned now to make
direct communication between Homo
lulu and Hno. or to be more correct
from BARRIERS Point to Kawaihae,
distance of 14O miles. This improve
ment will not be made for the present
however. and there will be only eighty
three miles stretches
The station at Kaena Point, on this
island has now been removed to Bar
ber's Point, and communication with
Kauai is now possible. There is al
ready a pole at Nawiliwili, but though |
messages could be received from that /
station. none could be sent from Ka- |
ena Point because the hill in back of |
the pole absorbed all Of the energy. (
n was for this reason the change was
made. and now there is no difficulty I
IN sending messages TO Nawiliwih' /
though the line is not open for regular
business. The distance between these
TWO stations is about eighty miles.
From the new BARRIERS Point pole
messages will be sent 10 Maui to the
new station at Olowalu, which is to
axe the place of the Lahaina station.
This is a distance Of eighty-three miles.
.foIokai and Lanai will both be cut out
md messages then sent from Maui
,irect TO the new station att Hawai-
,ae on Hawaii. The old Mahukona
station will also probably be abandon
d. though this has not been definitely
lecided upon. The earth in which the
Iahukona pole is placed is said 10
Interfere with the electric current.
rhe distance from Lahaina to Hawai-
,ae is about sixty-three miles, and
rom the latter point wireless mes
ages will be transmitted TO Hilo and
,ther places on Hawaii by telephone
4 is the intention Of the company to
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-06-17

erect a telephone line around the edge
of the big island. from Kawaihae to
Hilo.
The stations on both Molokai and
Lanai can be easily dispensed with I'M
der the new arrangement, and it will
obviate the necessity for relays, which
often seriously retarded wireless COM
munication.
The Legislature has made provision
for a telephone system out from the
Leper Settlement to connect with the
wireless telegraph, and If this goes
through, there will probably be made
some arrangement for continuing an
operator on Molokai.
Under the law passed by the Legis-
lature the Inter-Island Telegraph Com
pany is to receive a subsidy of $24 900
payable in twenty-four monthly in
stallments provided that communica-
ton is satisfactorily established with
Kauai, and certain other conditions are
complied with. The company has three
months from the passage of the bill to
make the improvements, and the time
limit will not be up until some time
in August, though the contract will
have been carried out prior to that
time
