Bird. Are Mathematician.

The English naturalist. Morris Gibbs,
devoted years Of study to birds nests,
their formation and their contents, and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in ac-
cordance with geometrical lines, SO
that every inch of space is used to the
greatest possible advantage. Birds
which lay many eggs arrange them in
circles, the pointed ends turned to the
inside. Others, whose eggs are elliptic
ally shaped, place them in longitude
nal rows. If an egg is moved out Of
its original position by an intruder, 1t
will be found on the following morn
ing that the bird has returned it to its
first position. Among the numerous
and often difficult cases which Gibbs
made a matter of study, not one was
found which would not do credit to a
mathematician.

The Only DANCER.

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trife made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called Immediately.
The doctor was a skillful man and con-
s~equently had a large practice. 1t was
very disagreeable to him to be so often
called away from his other cases for
nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see this.
One day the lady observed a red spot
on her hand and at once sent for the
doctor. He came, looked at her hand
and said:
You did well to send for me early"
The lady looked alarmed and asked:
rs 1t dangerous, them
Certainly not" replied the doctor.
Tomorrow the spot would have dis
appeared, and I should have lost my
fee for this visit"

Model Dairy Farm.
At Briarcliff, the model dairy farm of
W~estchester county, N. Y, cleanliness
is the keynote. Sterilized white duck
suits are worn by the mixers, who
wash their hands after each separate
milking and are not allowed to enter the
milk room. Milk is received and cared
for by dairy attendants, who In turn
are not allowed to go near the barns.
Every utensil that comes in contact
with milk is regularly sterilized by live
steam. The bacteria found daily by
analysis are below 1000 to the cubic
inch, while 1t Is known that much milk
sold generally in cities contains hun
dreds of thousands Of germs to the Gu

cross of the Mexican, a black corn, and
the Egyptian, a white or amber, which
results in a beautiful pink when the
ears are picked green for cooking and
red when mature. Mexican is a varie-
ty of superior quality, while Egyptian
has both great productiveness and
high quality and is a leading variety
for canning purposes.

Each packet contains twenty-five
grains and will be sent free to any ad-

1t is suggested that only those send In

MYRTLE
OFFICERS
Annual Election Held
With Harris at
Head.

The Myrtle Boat Club held it's adj
journed annual meeting last evening
in the office of the Hawaiian News Co.,
Young building, and elected the fol-
lowing officers:

Secretary-John F. Soper.
Treasurer-Chas. S. Crane.
Auditor-I4ouis King.
Captain-Tom King.
Trustees-A. A. Wilder, E. Koepke,
Fred Angus.
The question of the club joining the
National Oarsmen's Association was
referred to the board of directors.
A Social committee OF three was
proposed by w. Soper to arrange for
entertainments during the year. The
result of the balloting was as follows:
w. H. Soper, T. a. Hayes, j. A. NJ.
Johnson, Mr.. Ewart, E. A. r. Ross.
The question arose of whether the
club should row at Pearl Harbor or in
Honolulu harbor. Mr.. Wilder said
the directors had discussed the matter
The clubs were losing money going to
Pearl Harbor. There was a heavy
expense attached to having men train
at Pearl Harbor. The railroad COM
pany had not been willing to make up
deficit which accrued to the club.
1t was stated that the Healani club
did not favor going to Pearl Harbor.
The only thing lacking was that there
was no course in Honolulu harbor.
A committee was appointed to confer
with a committee to be appointed by
the Healanis to discuss this matter.
