Perhaps the Oldest relic in London
of a medieval kitchen is at West.

to indicate it save the rubble floor
ing, the buttery hatch and an adjoin-
ing cellar, now the handsome dining
hall Of Canon Wilberforce. The monk
who acted as kitchener of refectorian
had a responsibility as great as any
hotel manager or chef in these days,
for among his fellow monks, to say
nothing of the pensioners, were crit

famed diners of today. Yet the abbey
kitchen was scarcely more elaborate
than any one of those which linger on
In the remote cottages of the rough
moors, where the entire cooking of the
family is done on a fiat hearth, with
no other fuel than turf Or peat or
twigs. The broth pot hangs from
a crane or stands on a tripod and is
most accommodating in its uses.

A nYfng Race.

It IS predicted that within a few gen"
erations the race of native Hawaiians
win become extinct.
The main causes, as set forth by
Lucien G.. Warner, in the Outlook, are
intermarriage and the poor state OF
health of the pure bloods. Their to-
tai number has been reduced from TO-.
600 in 1853 to less than 10000 in 1909.
Marriages between the Hawaiians and
other races are quite frequent, and the
number of part Hawaiians Is steadily
increasing. In 1872 the census gave
but 1887 part Hawaiians. In 1884
they had increased to 4218, and in 1900
to TS48. The larger proportion Of chill.
dren among the part Hawaiians is In
dicated by the statistics Of school at
tendance, which in 1902 showed 490S
full blooded Hawaiian children to a
total population of 29,767, and 1850
part Hawaiian children to q popula-
ton Of 7S48. In other words, the pro-
portion Of children 10 twice as great
among the part Hawaiians as among

Persons who live in New York or
Chicago or Boston are amused to learn
that Mrs. Jim Belcher, Of Bings Cor"

Twombly has lost thirty chickens from

absurdly trivial. and trivial 1T is. of
course. But ''life Is made up Of triv-

they trivialities in which we are inter-

CONCEPTION OF ETHER.
New Theory Advanced by a ce'eoFae
ed Russian Chemist.

ed Russian Chemist
The luminiferous ether. the all-per'
vading substance, whatever 1t may De-
which transmits waves OF light over
the otherwise void space between the
sun and the earth has generally Deeh
regarded as a highly elastic meoluh
capable of transmitting vibrations at
a high speed. A different theory mas
lust been advanced by Prof. Mende-
leeff. the celebrated Russian chemist
who in a recent essay suggests that
the ether is a gas which, like helion
or argon, is incapable OF chemical
combination. Seys a writer IN tne
Lancet, reviewing Mendeleetfs essay;
"He recognizes, in spite OF h en-
ormous penetrative power OF ether
which enables it TO pass through eV-
cry envelope, that 1t would be I'M
possible to determine experimentaliy
its mass in a given amount OF otnef
substances; therefore he speaks not
of the imponderability of ether, but
Of the impossibility Of weighing 1t.
In short, his propositions are: ~
That the ether is the lightest ultimate
gas and is endowed with a high pen
etrating power, which signifies tnat
it's particles have relatively to otner
gases, small weight, and extremely
high vel9eity; and GU that ether Is a
simple body or element incapable OF
entering into combination or reaction
~ zAI-ar oJo-oarfc Or rom n0IInHE AL
though capable of pentrating their
substance lust as helion, argon, and
their analogues are soluble in water
and other liquids. He even proposes
to place ether as an element in the
periodic system at the top OF the
series of elements known as zero
group Fighter than hydrogen) when
comprises helion, neon, krypton n
zenon. He thus regards ether
as the highest of all the elements,
both in density and atomic weight, as
the most mobile gas. as the element
least prone to enter into combination
with other atoms, n as an all-per-
meating and penetrating substance.
This new theory appears to have
been suggested by the recent dis
| coveries in radioactivity and by the
authors unwillingness to accept the
new ideas regarding the compound
nature of atoms. The emanation
from radium he looks upon as an
actual stream of his gaseous ether
which had accumulated in the sub
stance, being attracted thither by ita
heavier atoms. In like manner the
luminosity of the sun may be due
to it's great mass being able to &C
cumulate ether in far larger guam
titles than the planets" These views
are revolutionary, yet not more sc
than the generally accepted explana.
tons of ra%dioactivity, and the emin'
ence of their p%rcpounder as a chemist
will gain him an audience. That the
division of atoms into e%lectrons is
an u~nscientifc conception the writer
firmly maintains, and he will continue
to do so, he says, until some one
demonstrates either the actual trans
formation of ordinary matter into eth
er, or the reverse, or else the transfer
nation of one element into another

elaborated, and for n or two Of their
most important instruments they have
compositions specially set. These are
said to be not altogether wanting in
a certain wierd, quaint, barbaric'
charm, and are very highly esteemed
by the Japanese themselves. But the
fact is they have no instruments capa-
BILE of producing anything beyond the
most trivial and unimposing music
Such instruments Is they possess, both
string and percussion, appear to have
been introduced from China. In the
course of centuries the fanciful inge-
nuity of the people has to some extent,
improved and developed many Of them,
but they are all essentially Chinese in
their twang and tinkle and are quite
untitled for anything like orchestra
performances, as we understand the
words, though they have ~orchestras In
their theatres and temples, and since
the Japanese have become a naval
power, they have Sprmed bands on
board their men-o-w7r. Their .nstru-
ments may be said ttoconsist of i'd
dies, guitars, citherns, flutes, bamboo
pipes, drums and cymbals. One of
the most important Of their stringed
instruments, the koto, has 10 silken
strings, and a movable bridge for
every string. It is said to be one of
the most difficult instruments In the
world to play.
AS to japanese vocal music, the uni
| versal testimony is that it is even more
mental. It is curious, but even birds
do not sing much in Japan. There are
