NUMBERING.

AS soon as practicable, an examina-
ton should be made of the koa forest
on the east slopes of Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa, to determine whether or
not it is feasible to build a road to it
and locate sawmill in it for the pur-
pose of numbering the mature trees.
Some of the koa is without doubt very
fine, and would form a source of re-
venue to the Territory, to which it
belongs, if it could be got out without
great expense. The law provides that
any moneys which shall accrue from
such products shall be held available
a a special fund for the preservation,
extension, and utilization of forests and
forest reserves, in the same manner as
moneys appropriated by the legislature.
This makes it desira BILE as soon as pos
sible to make the forest revenue pro-
ducing, so far as this is compatible
with its preservation for other useful
purposes 1t is believed that the situa-
ton and composition of the koa forest
is such that the removal of the mature
trees could be accomplished without
damage either to reproduction or to
water supply

OPERATION WITH THE
REAU OF FORESTRY.

The close relation existing between
the forest service of the islands and
the Federal Bureau of Forestry can be
maintained with direct benefit to each.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-08-29
CLEARING.

The law makes it mandatory upon the
board of agriculture and forestry to
pass upon the disposition of any public
land, not including roads and city lots.
All leases and sales of forest land,
carrying the right to cut timber or clear
the land. must therefore be approved
by the board. Since the clearing of
land for the extension of canefields and
for homesteads is at the present time
making irreparable inroads upon the
virgin forest in important localities, it
is of special consequence Tor the board
to act with the greatest caution on all
permits to clear land. The only safe
, attitude for the board to take under
present conditions is to assume that
all the Governments forests should re-
main intact. and it should recede from
this position only in those individual
cases where the contrary is plainly
proved.
DETERMINATION OF INSECT
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-08-29
PESTS.


Throughout the islands there is great
interest on the part of both individual
and corporate landowners in the de-
velopment and preservation of forests.
And yet the individual is often at a
loss to know what trees to plant for
his situation-where to get them, how
to plant SUCCESSFULLY, and how to care
for the planted or native forest. This
is information which only the trained
forester can give. For lack of it some
landowners have made no effort in
forest work; others have worked WITH
meager results
1t should be a part of the forest
policy to give assistance to landowners
as the need requires. Studies should
be made on the ground TO determine
what trees to plant and what methods
to adopt. both in the establishment
and in the care of woodlands. In
many cases it viii be beneficial. if not
necessary. to assist in procuring seeds
and plants, especially those which have
to be procured outside of the islands.
In so far as the Government nursery
is made use of for the production of
trees for planting on private lands, the
trees should be of valuable economic
: kinds. and where distributions are
made from the nursery the planting
should be done under the supervision
of the superintendent of forestry.

In0uisitiye Birds,

Of the birds undoubtedly the blue
jays have the most inQuisitiveness.
And they are the most noisy in express
ing it, although crows will hold close
second place, if not fully the equal.
How the jays screeched and whistled
and called-a confusion of all the
sounds Of jaydom-near my home!
More than a dozen darted into a small
evergreen tree on the lawn. People
came from several houses in the vicin-
ity, all curious to know what was the
matter with the birds. It seemed to
be want to know on both sides
The jays had discovered a cat walking
meelly along by the fence in the low
shrubbery near and under the spruce
tree. There was no nest in the vicinity,
and, so far as could be ascertained, the
cat had not attacked the jays. But
what pandemonium of jay jargon
over one meek looking, quiet cat. The
jays outdid themselves and called out
nearly all the occupants of the many
houses on that street.-St Nicholas.

To Restore Leather Bindings.

To restore the leather bindings Of
books wash them first very lightly and
carefully with clean warm water in
which a tiny piece of soda has been
dissolved, in order to free the leather
from grease; then wash with clear wa
ter to remove the soda, and dry. Dis
solve bit of gum arabic the size of a
small bean in teaspoonful of water
and beat it up with a teaspoonful of
the white Of an egg. With a bit of
sponge go lightly over the leather with
this CLAIR and let it dry.
Should the CLAIR froth up on the
leather, as it is very likely to do if
there is much tool work on the book,
dab it until it subsidies with the palm
or the hand or with the sponge
squeezed as dry as possible.

The Peanut.

The home of the peanut, or: ground
pea (also often called pindar and goo
ber), is believed to be Brazil, although
it very soon spread to Africa, China
japan and India and was recognized
as a valuable agricultural product in
these countries long before it was Gull
tivated on a large scale in it's native
soil, which was not until the year 1870.
In the old world, however, it has al
ways been planted and harvested for
the sake of the oil that it yields. This
is said to rival olive oil in quality and
to be used for the same purposes. The
nuts raised in the east are far richer
in oil than the American varieties
The most popular Of the American
peanuts is the Virginia running vari-
ETY." The pod and nut of the Virginia
variety are twice as large as those Of
the North Carolina or African peanut
The Spanish nuts, usually sold only
after being shelled and sailed, are still
smaller, but of excellent flavor Ten
nessee has two varieties, called the
white and the red, the kernels of the
latter having a dark red skin.

NewtOn,s Blue.

It is we'll known that under the &C
ton of gravity the water composing
such a thin shell as soap bubble tends
to run down on all sides, so that the
walls of the bubble grow thin at the
top aud thicken toward the bottom.
After a time the bubble becomes so
thin at the top that further flow of wa
ter from this point can hardly take
place, and finally the bubble bursts.
But before this last stage is reached a
degree of thinness in the walls of the
bubble is attained which causes it to
glow with brilliant iridescent coiorS.
Newton noticed that on top Of the thin
bubble Illuminated by white sky light
black spot is formed. With increase
Of thickness downward from this point
on all sides, red band next appears;
then a blue one; then again red and
blue, red and blue, and so on the col
ors showing more extremes of red and
purple in the higher orders. This blue
band which first expands outward from
the black spot at the top and descends
slowly with the subsistence Of the wa
ter Newton called the "blue of the first
ORDER" and, although somewhat dingy,
he judged it to be Of the same tint as
the blue of the sky.-T. J. J. See in At

Dee's Magic Mirror.

There are several accounts of the
manner in which the famous gunpow-
der plot of 1905 was discovered, but
among the students of occult science
the belief is that it's timely discovery
was made by DR.. John Dee by means
Of magic mirror. Proof of how gen.
eral this belief was at one time is given
by the fact that in some editions Of
the Common Prayer Book, published in
the eighteenth century, is to be found
an engraving inserted before the serv-
ice for Nov. 5 depicting a circular mir
ror on a stand in which is the refec-
ton of the houses Of parliament by
night and a person carrying a dark
lantern. On the left side are two men
in the costume of the reign Of King
James looking into the mirror. On the
right side at the top the eye Of Provi-
dence throws a ray on to the mirror.
Beneath are legs and hoofs, as if evil
spirits were making their exit.

A man who has forgotten to get mar
ned and is consequently obliged to dine
about town in various restaurants says
that he can readily pick out persons
not accustomed to dining away from
home from their inexperience in using
their fingers. At table d'hote places
especially things are served as courses
which are expected to be eaten with
the fingers. No idea as to what is
right can be obtained from the walters,
for it is the custom to put cutlery
enough for the entire meal on the table
with the soup.
Olives should be eaten with the fin
gers. though many Of the uninitiated
try to split them with a fork. Aspara-
gus should be eaten with the fingers.
That is why the cook does not throw
sauce over the root ends. Green corn
should be eaten with the fingers and
not scraped from the cob with knife.
Spaghetti should be eaten with a fork
and crust Of bread. In Italian res
taurants a man who cuts his spaghetti
into small pieces with a knife, as he
would salad, is looked upon as a rank
outsider.-New York Press.
