STRUGGLE WITH A $ WORDFISH.
The fishing steamer Petrol. Captain
Arthur G. Manter, returned last even
ing from days swordfishing trip in
the waters south Of the island, bring
Ing in four Of the handsomest speci-
mems landed this season.
The first fish sighted was '.irened"
without any difficulty, and Edward
Burchell, one OF the crew, started out
in doiy to capture him. almost be-
fore the huge fish realized what had
happened. Instantly the barrel which
was attached to the end Of the harpoou
line went whizzing through the water
"a at rapid rate. indicating that the fish
had commenced to run .BurcheH
kept up the chase. and after more than
a mile had been covered the speed Of
the fish perceptibly decreased. AS the
dory drew near, the fish discovered it,
and turning suddenly drove his sword
through the bottom until about three
feet OF it protruded directly in front OF
the thwart upon which Burchell was
sitting.
The steamer at this time was about
two miles from the scene, and going in
the opposite direction for another
school. The struggle was witnessed
from the pilot house, and all speed
was put upon the steamer as her
course was changed in the direction of
the battle
Burchell hastily dropped his oars
and seized the sword with both hands,
realizing that if tie fish should with
draw it and continue the attack the
chances were all against him. For
fully minute the man and fish strug-
gled, when the sword snapped Off short
and once more the fish started Off on
the run. The sword was bedded SO
tight in the bottom of the dory that ne
water could get through, and, picking
up his oars, Burchell again gave chase,
capturing the monster about mile
further on. 1t weighed 415 pounds

lazy oH0 Late Opbio1
The experiment station Of the Ohio
State University has recently issued
a bulletin giving large amount Of
data concerning the relative merits
of early and late s9ring blowing in the
production of corn. While we here
In the sugar country generally hate
other interests besides corn to consfd-
er, the effect of early blowing fer any
crop as compared with late blowing is
matter of considerable interest and
the data given in the bulletin, Of which
we give summary below, would inIi-
cate that nitrifcation begins in tie
land as soon as plowed and that hence
early blowing is desirable from that
point of view. AS with Us cur lands
become grassy, unless at onCe put info
cultivated crops, early blowing fire.
Quently means double blowing, but
even such blowing as that, although
quite expensive, has it's compensation
in the improved conditions of the land.
Our readers will be interested in tile
summary given as follows:

SUMMARY.


was to determine the influence Of early
and late spring blowing upon crop pro-
duction. The study was carried along
the lines of soil moisture, available
pitrogen and sell temperature. Tie
results found show:
First-That the crop yield from the
early plowed land is more than that
from the late, at the rate of 6.6 per
acre.
Second-That there is.a very strong
concordance between the yield per
acre and by plots, and the amount OF
moisture percent and available nitro
gen found in the soil during the sea-
son.
Third-That the moisture holding
power OF soils is greater with the
early-plowed land at one, two and
three feet in depth than that of the
late, the greatest difference in it's ia
vCr being found In the surface foot.
Fourth-That when the moisture OF
this particular soil falls below IL per-
cent, the leaves of many plants curl
early in the day, and the plant turns
a yellowish color and Ia more or less
checked in its growth.
Fifth-That nitrification takes place,
with a gradually increasing intensity,
at one, two and three feet in depth.
Sixth-That the seasonal average
amount of available nitrogen found for
the early-plowed land in the surface
foot is twice that found for the late at
the same depth.
Seventh-That the available nitro
gen in the surface-foot OF the early
plowed field is four times that found
in either the second or third foot,
early or late land.
Eghth-That the mean soil temper
ature for the early-plowed land is In
all eases during the entire season,
lower than that found for the late
plowed.
Ninth-That the low mean soil tenn
perature found for the early-plowed
land is accompanied throughout the
season by a greater amount of mois-
ture and available nitrogen than is the
case with the late plowed which has
the hieher temperature
Tenth-That in many eases high
temperature is followed by high
rate Of nitrification, while in others
it is not. thus suggesting that the pro-
cess of nitrification is more Or less de-
pendent uron what may be called the
rate relation between the water ccn-
tent and the temperature of the soil,
provided other factors are favorable

was a model peace officer. He rarely
made. an arrest, but when necessity
compelled him to show his authority he
was fearless man 1t was his rule to
always use persuasion instead of force,
and the police records of Henderson fail
to show a record OF his ever clubbing
prisoner. Young gave up his office and
got ,ont of politics in Henderson along
about 1878, when he secured an interest
in the old hurdle horse Glasgow. From
his winnings on that horse he purchased
the then noted Beatitude and soon had
money enough together to control in

1t is very noticeable that in COMPETE
ton you will see as many forms as you
see competitors. The single turn used
by so many men is fast growing into
disuse 1t seems that the one and one
half turn, regardless of position in de-
livery, is just as far from the correct
position. Every athlete in the west who
has gained distinction thinks more Of
his delivery than he does of his turn.
He seeks to acquire proper position,
the proper angle. and. most Of all, to
start his discus so that it will meet with
the least resistance. The expert discus
thrower causes his discus to revolve so
swiftly in the air that any slight de-
feet in delivery will be largely over
come. consider that the discus event
is one OF the prettlest of all the field
events. 1t does not take strength to
throw the discus. 1t is a trick. To see
it sail the whole long distance is the
delight of every discus-thrower's life.
My form is different from that of any
other man whom have ever met at any
track meet. have shown it to all those

them all save the one little thing which
cannot be shown-that is. how to make
the discus sail. If strength was all that
was required to throw the discus, |
would never hold the records that l do

sports it is not all strength, ii is skill.

SEIZURES ON THE
TRANSPORT SOLACE

The san Francisco papers of August
"a contain details of the seizures made
there on board the naval transport So
lace. From these accounts it appears
that the Honolulu customs officials
were responsible for the seizures. The
Chronicle says:
..Forty-one seizures of dutiable mer-
chandise We're made by the customs
officials on the United States Navy
transport Solace, which arrived in this
port from Manila last Friday These
seizures represent almost every class of
goods of value, and We're made in every
part of the ship, from the captains
storeroom to the quarters of the mess
stewards. Among the articles seized
and held are some goods claimed by
Mrs Bull a case of Japanese curios
consigned to .Rear-Admiral Yeats Stir
ling, e. S. N, Baltimore, Nd and
over a hundred other cases of goods.
the property of various officers. seamen
and civilians.
''All the seizures We're made under
article XII, 1924 Revised Statutes,
which forbid the Importation of mer-
chandise on United States vessels.
THE Solace arrived here August 18th
from Manila, by way of Nagasaki and
Honolulu. On her arrival she was i'm
nediately given pratique and proceeded
10 Mare Island. There a force of Gus
toms inspectors, under Inspector Catlin,
took charge and the baggage of the
passengers, mostly officers and their
families, was inspected. Then a thor
ough search of the ship was made, with
the result that in almost every quar-
ter was brought to light articles by the
package and the case forbidden trans
portation on any Government vessel.
The appraisers took charge of this
stuff as soon as it was landed in this
city, on Monday night, on the steamer
H. j. Cochran, and yesterday the APP
praisal was not finished. The 123 seiz-
ure papers, however, contain a list of
goods estimated roughly at a value
reaching into the thousands.
by statute all articles of a value
over S25 will be held until the decision
of the Secretary of the Treasury as to
what relief shall be afforded. Owners
of articles of a value less than $25 may
appeal to the Collector here. who is
Empowered to deliver the seized goods
upon payment of fine equal to the
regular duty
1T is understood that the customs
officers had warning beforehand that
the Solace was laden with unlawful
goods. In Honolulu the officials are
reported to have nipped in the bud an
attempt to smuggle stuff ashore.
THE principal seizures consisted of
decorated china and fine silks and en-
broideries. Other articles We're 5000
cigars, shawls, pillowcases, worries, silk
bedspreads, cotton crepes, shirt waists
