KAISER AND AUSTRIAN
EMPEROR At OUTS

BERLIN, Sept. 2o.-The Kaiser is a
very mad man. He regards the dis
continuance of the Austrian maneuv-
! ers, to which he had invited himself, as
a direct affront, refusing to believe
that Francis Joseph was aetuated by
desire to save money on account of
the prevailing drought
Though it hurts his love of self. he
reluctantly concludes that he is not
wanted in Vienna. and half suspects
King Edward of influencing Francis
Joseph against him.
However, well-informed circles insist
that Edward had nothing to do with
Francis Joseph's refusal to meet Will
liam. The King is not an intriguer,
and besides. there was no need set
ting Francis Joseph against the Kaiser
for the Austrian monarch detests Will
liam most cordially.
After William returned from Vienna
two years ago he talked necessarily of
Francis Josephs GOODNESS toward him.
He blamed all sorts of people and cir
cumstances, but of course never
dreamt that his own aggressive, spec
tacular and insincere self was at the
bottom of Francis. Josephs aversion.
A Vienna courtier very near to Francis
Joseph said:
Emperor Francis Joseph has been
chatting under the thought of another
meeting with William for some time,
and much as he regrets the drought,
almost glories in it, now that it has af-
forded him good excuse for telling
his brother of Berlin to keep at a safe
distance.
"a month or so ago the unwelcome
visit was discussed at our court, and
somebody suggested that his Majesty
appoint Archduke Francis Ferdinand
his representative at the maneuvers
and stay away.
For the Lords sake cried the
Emperor. when two princes meet at
least one of them ought to have lit
tie tact But as to that commodity,
there is no choice between William and
Franz T.

showed the car too close was laid off for
a month.
1t was soon noticed that the Elf
wasn't holding its own on the East Mis-
souri, end. The conductor said that ON
shorts spurts of straight track Iverson
would let the engine out like he was
running race with a cyclone, then sud-
denly the brakes would be applied with
a fierce energy that would dump the
passengers from their seats. This would
occur, the conductor said, as the train
was passing sidings on which cars were
located, and sometimes at places where
there was no apparent reason for it.
sIverson was brought I'D and ques-
toned. He broke down like man be-
reft, and told what the matter was. He
said that every time he ran by a siding
that had cars on it his hand invoiuntar-
ily went to the air valve. and applied
the emergency stop. He had hoped he
could break himself of the habit, bur
had about come to the conclusion that
his fast-runninp days were over.
The officials hated to give him up,
but he rather urged II himself, and they
put him on a short daylight run, where
he did very well. He remained with the
road for several years later, running a
little bob-taii accommodation train, but
he never got back with the giants who
ran night races with the hour glass -

Aeolian eros on. 1t must have been the
effect OF the same rending CONFUSION
which broke of the shore line. and re-
mains as visible proof OF that peculiar
violent action It should be noted tina.
this inland cfasn does not communicate
with the great Nainanu valley. but lies
right across the head OF it, separated by
a narrow ridge. | give some OF these
facts and figures from the recent careful
map OF the island.
Mr.. Gulick. especially adduced the ire
quent existence on these islands of ex-
terlsive littoral precipices, evidently frac-
tured off by local commissions which
have dropped large masses of mountain
into the ocean depths was able 10
confirm this from my own observation.
Very conspicuous on the island OF Ha-
waIl IS such 4 fracture IN Puma, directly
south OF and seven miles from the vol
cano of Kilauea. 1t is evidently quite
recent. he precipice IS over 1900 feet
high and many miles in length Above
the brow OF the precipice lie a succession
OF assures parallel Herewith. as if feady
at any moment to break off On the
map this precipice is some fifteen miles
IN length At its base IS a broad shelf
OF fresh-lool1ing lava, some three miles
wide, evidently poured into the sea at
the time of the convuision. The uplands
between this and Kilauea are studded
with recent cinder cones, evidences of
explosive eruptions apparently Of the
same date
Again on the Kona coast is a clear
trace OF similar precipice extending
from north OF Kealakekua bay for some
six miles to beyond Honaunau at the
south. The greater part of this preeipice
IS, however, covered by subsequent
streams of lava from Mauna Eoa, which
partially obliterate it. The one excep-
ton is the precipice at the head OF Ke-
alakekua bay There the lava streams
have Stunned the precipice, but have
flowed down to the sea on either side,
thus enclosing the bay and harbor. Else
where along the Kona coast. where the
calm sea is devoid of tendency TO marine
erosion, are no precipices, but the long
slopes descend regularly to the
ocean.
The north shore of the main mass of
he island of Molokai seems to have
been formed in the same manner The
whole northern part of the mountain has |
broken off and disappeared, leaving an
enormous precipice along the whole |
,oast. Indeed, this great fracture seems |
o include the western half of the island. |
A great fracture and subsistence of the |
'ame kind of very recent occurrence
seems. to be that which produced the |
ong precipice facing west, which ex-
ends from the south point of Hawaii |
lue north far inland into Kahuku.
This conference between Brother Gu |
lex and myself was memorable one as
o my own knowledge gained. This dear
riend subsequently made many remark |
bile journeys in lands remote, and now
n the ripeness of years, has closed his |
right and active life of service in the |
Interior of Africa, antipodal TO his ma
i've land of Hawaii-The Friend.

PRECIPICES
Of HAWAII
A Theory of Origin
By the Late Rev.
T. [. Quick.

| It must have been in the summer OF
1892 that the writer remembers to have
been voyaging in the pleasant company
| of the late Rev Thomas l. Quick, who
was at that time nearing the close of his
pastorate of the Makawao Foreign
church We were on the steamer Kinau
bound for Hilo 1t was pleasant after
noon. We had left Kohala point behind
us. We had skirted the beautiful ko-
hala plantations, had speculated upon the
apparently recent age of the volcanic
cones on the crest of the northern ridge
OF the Ko1lala mountains, and were
opening the great PoIolu ravine, out of
the upper end of which my father had
laboriously climbed in 1925. Before US
lay what was like a great recess on the
northeast flank of the Kohala mountain
1t was about eight miles in breadth along
the coast. and one and half miles in
depth. II included the two vast valleys
of Waipio and Waimanu. as well as
those of Honokane and Pololu at the
northwest
The nature of this wonderful piece of
scenery became at once the subject of
earnest discussion. 1t was my first near
front view of If from the ocean Ex-
pressing a desire to mass nearer the
shore, Mr.. Gulick spoke to the captain, |
who at once kindly headed the ship close |
in, where we had wonderful view of
4I,a ,,1orI,4x, 1,ard,,-a ~1od ,>-ac:r;1ae %c,,-
ering from 1900 to 1000 feet above us. |
began by propounding the opinion that |
this vast wall of precipice was simply |
the effect of marine erosion; of the |
wearing away of the coast by the ocean |
waves, such being apparently the cause |
OF the low precipices along the part of /
the Kohala coast which we had just
passed To this Gulick at once demurred, |
and strongly contended that it was caus-
ed by an immense fracture of the noun
tain side which had broken off and fallen
into the ocean depths. | did not readily
accept this opinion, but became gradually
convinced by the cogency of his reason
ing, and have ever since been thoroughly
OF It's correctness. 1t was good
geological lesson taught.
Without undertaking to repeat his
whole line of reasoning, the chief argu-
ments were perhaps as follows: Such
an enormous precipice could not posi-
bly, have been cut away by the ocean
waves, 1t was several times the height
of the sea precipices both northwest and
southeast. Moreover, this huge wall was
recessed back of the other coaR lines,
from one and half to two miles into
the mountain, indicating that massive
section had been taken out by a sudden
local CONFUSION.
An especially strong piece of evidence
was the existence of a vast chasm paral-
lei to the coast, lying from four or FIVE
miles inland. This cflasrn was about a
mile wide, mainly opening into the great
Waipio valley. but also showing at the
head of Honokane Such chasm lying
directly athwart the natural course of
streams. could not have been caused by

 By and by we came to large stone watering trough, into which clear water bubbles from spring. Of course the little bear had to examine that, so up the side he went, and. after taking lap pr two of the water, he deliberately slid right into 1t, and swan from end to end of the trough and back again. Then he descended to the road and galloped along as before. Presently countryman driv- ing to work, turned his horse toward the trough that it might drink. But the horse, although very thirsty, would not come near. So the trough had to be emptied and cleaned and filled again, after which the horse came up and drank as usual. Several horses have, at diff erent times evinced marked dislike to either the sight or odor of the little bear, though other horses will let him play around their feet without so much as raising their heads.
