wearing, fell into the hands of the con-
! querors and thus passed into the pos
ession of King Kamehameha III. CThe
Solitary or Lonely, by whom it was
presented to Captain j. H. Aulick, of
the United States Navy.
Some idea Of the amount of work ex.
pended in making this war cloak may
| be gathered from the fact that the
| time required for its manufacture eI-
tended through the eight reigns pre-
ceding that of King Kamehameha. 1t
Is four feet long, and has spread Of
eleven and half feet. The ground
| work is coarse netting, made Of olona,
| 4 native hemp from the fibre Of the
hau tree, and to this the feathers,
.'hich are exceedingly delicate and
very small are skillfully attached,
overlapping each other and forming
perfectly smooth surface. The feath-
ers around the border are reverted,
Ind the whole presents a bright and
beautiful appearance as of mantle OF
gold. The upper and lateral borders
Of the cloak, which are corded with a
string of the olona. are decorated with
alternate tufts Of red, black and yel-
low feathers. The body is decorated
with alternate figures, generally cres-
cent shaped composed of either red
Or yellow feathers. The inner surface
Is without lining and shows the olona
| network and the quill ends Of the feath-
ers. The cord Of the upper margin is
prolonged to form a fastening at the
throat.
The yellow feathers are, those Of the
rare bird 90, or Uho, Mohoa nobilis
while the red feathers are taken from
the body and neck Of the Drepanis coc-
cinea, one Of the most abundant birds
lnhabiting these islands. 1t is the yel-
! low feathers. however. that are Of
| such great value. They were at one
time used by the natives in payment
of poll tax to the King. Only two Of
these yellow feathers are obtained
from under the wings Of each bird. so
that the number Of birds captured
from which sufficient feathers could
b. obtained to make this cloak must
have been very great.
The capture of these birds is effected
with great care and toll. Long poles.
smeared with some adhesive substance
and we'll baited. are placed in the vi
:inity of their haunts. The bird alights
on the pole. and. being unable to dis
engage itself, is caught. The two so
much desired feathers are plucked,
and the bird is then set at liberty. At
one time three of these feathers were
worth seven and half francs, and it
Is upon this basis that the value Of this
particular cloak has been estimated.
Until recent years cloaks Of this kind

Ireland's Lost Population.

Ireland is a country which still! loses
thousands Of its natural increase Of
population by emigration; in which
more boys are born than girls, and the
most fatal epidemic Is influenza.
The population of Ireland in 1902, ac-
cording to the Registrar Generals re-
turn, was 4,432,274. The marriages.
numbering 22,949. and the births 101..

erage of ten years; the deaths. 1876.
were trihe below the average. The
excess Of births over deaths being b.

ing to &C. 100, there was decrease in
the population during the year of 10

was, OF which no record is kept

Tho Great Thing.

The great thing in journalism, as in
anything else. is for the individual
man to maintain his self-respect, his
high personal standards and his de-
termination to do the best work he
can, even at small salary, rather than
do work Of kind that he secretly
loathes for the sake of larger salary.
I have known a good many men in
metropolitan journalism whose posi-
tions were not congenial to them and
who longed to be doing journalistic
work of a kind better suited to their
tastes and ideals. But they consider
the present rather than the future and
are allured by large salary. l do
not think that this is more necessary
in journalism than for q lawyer to
take an Objectionable line Of practice,
as some lawyers do, merely because
it pays well-Dr. Albert Shaw. in The

many. From every point Of view the
bluebird Is most desirable. He has no
faults; he does not even take toll Of
our fruit. But he needs protection.
Nearly every nest is robbed. Not one
egg in four matches and produces a
mature bluebird.
The way to protect bluebirds is to
provide a nesting place that is safe
from cats, mice and squirrels. The
red squirrel is the worst offender. In
May and June he scours every tree in
the woods and even comes around the
houses. The bluebirds are hard pressed
to find any kind Of nesting place at
all, and when they do the chances are
against them. The bird-house shown
here is perfectly safe, and within two
hours after 1 made it the bluebirds
were making their nest in it. =
1t is very simple matter. Get a
hollow limb or make. box Of weather
beaten boards. close both ends, rain
tight, and make a two-inch opening
near the top. The cavity inside should
be about three inches across and four
or five inches deep. Nail or wire the
box to a post set securely in the open
where no squirrel or cat can jump
down on it from above. Then stop
everything from coming up the post
by a sheet of tin or an old pan that
encircles the post. This result is best
accomplished by cutting an "X" in the
tin and showing the post through; then
nail down the flaps Of the "X" to the

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
Collision on the Pere Marquette
Near Grand Rapids, Mich.
HOLIDAY VISITORS THE VICTIMS

Crowded Cars Crashed Together at High
Speed - Misunderstanding Of Orders
the Cause Of a Disastrous Wreck in
Michigan - Tracks Heaped With a
Mass Of Tangled Steel.
Grand Rapids, Mich.-An east-bo1nd
ar q west-bound passenger train on
t. 'ere Marquette Railroad met i'll a
heau collision six miles east Of this
city, just west Of East Paris. Twenty.
two persons lost their lives and thirty
were injured.
It was the most disastrous wreck III
the history Of the Pere Marquette sys-
tenn, and is charged to the high wind
which extinguished the red signal light
in the order board at McCord's. Station.
where the west-bound. train was ex-
pected to stop and receive new orders.
The trains, which were two Of the
finest on the system, were reduced to a
pile of broken and twisted timber and
metal, with dead and injured pin !
down and crushed by the fragmLnts
Of the heavy cars. Five cars aud two
locomotives were jammed into space
ordinarily occupied by three coaches,
and the wreckage was strewn across
the railroads right of way from fence
to fence.
The two trains were running at full
speed and the engines were smashed
to tangled bits of wreckage. The first
cars were also demolished, and both
trains left the track except the last
coach on each, so great was the force
Of the collision.
The east-bound train for Detroit was
a little late. The west-bound train
from Detroit is. supposed to be in
Grand Rapids before the other leaves
this city, but as the west-bound was
late the east-bound was sent out before
1t arrived. The wreck is said to be due
to misunderstanding Of orders.
The east-bound train was crowded
with passengers when it left Grand
Rapids. 1t carried scores Of Christmas
visitors, returning to their homes along
the Pere Marquette Line. after spend
Ing the holiday here. The train was
much heavier than usual on account of
this extra rush. 1t is reported that the
incoming train was also heavily loaded.
It, too, bore holiday crowd, as, well
as the regular Saturday rush of passen:
gers.
As usual the smokers were damaged
more than any Of the other coaches,
and in these cars every seat was occu-
pied. Where the wreck took place
there is a curve and a. long grade ex-
tends from half mile east of East
Paris nearly to the scene Of the wreck.
The west-bound train had just descend
ed this grade when the collision oc-
Cured. The speed of the train must
have been very high because Of the
grade, and the fact that the train was
trying to make up time.
The distance Of the scene of the dis
aster from East Paris delayed the
sending in Of the first report to this
city. The first news was meagre, but
a rush call was sent out for doctors
and a relief train was dispatched at
once, a second train being made up to
60 out as soon as the relief train re-
turned
