NEW SCHEME OF
CHE IA MEN

Despite strenuous efforts on the part
teries in Honolulu hundreds of dollars
are changing hands every day in the
game and a few Chinese are waxing
wealthy. To defeat the police and
prevent convictions in the police court
the lottery managers have adopted a
UNIQUE means of conducting their BUSH
ness. BY their new system it is prac-
tically impossible for an informer to be
able to take one of their lottery tickets
into court and prove that the ticket is
a lottery ticket.
The system is as follows. A hui
establishes a lottery. The head man
of the company secures large number
of square sheets of paper. He rules
these off so that each contains thirty
six squares. Each square is blank
but really represents a horses mead,
a sausage, a match, or some other ar
ticle. Every player knows what each
square should contain were the PIC
lures of the article to be printed in the
souare. The player then buys the
tickets. If he puts UP a dollar ana
the square he chooses wins then ne
secures thirty dollars on his invest
ment. Thus in thirty-six chances the
banker only pays on a thirty-to-one
basis and in this he makes his Dig

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not q creature was stirring,
Not even mouse.
When mama awoke with a start and
q shake,
And wondered why papa
Was SO wide awake:
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And 1t caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
'Oh, why did we make such a fearful
n1istake;''
"Oh, John dear, I fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath. the plumber, and have him
Go over it all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that tits true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do"

Mr.. George H. Emerson, who took

Francisco after six weeks stay in
the Islands, is one of the leading citi-
zens of the State of Washington, where
he has done much to develop the Ium-
Der industry and various other enter

Mr.. Emerson shipped to Gray's Har-
Dor the lumber out of which was built
the first lumber mill established there.
From this beginning twenty-five years
ago, he became the leader in the devel-
opment of great industry in which
he now holds large interests

and Land Company and vice president
Of the Northwestern Lumber Com

manager, as President of the First

many other positions Of trust, he has
been largely instrumental in founding
a growing city with stable population

Mr.. Emerson. who was accompanied
by his wife and son, made the circuits
of Oahu and Hawaii and a flying visit
to Maui. In an interview he said that
he had been much impressed with the
extent and completeness of the sugar
industry. "Stocks are down and it is
a good time to buy, or will be soon.
There are more large corporations in
Hawaii than in the western part Of the
State of Washington. There We cap

New England Landscape.

From the Boston Transcript.
Along comes Prof Shaler to say to the
students of the Harvard Summer School
that after years of study of landscape IN
all parts of the earth he regards the land
scape of New England as the most perma-
nently satisfying and most beautiful he has
ever seen. Such a judgment certainly has
some value. 1t Is not true that the personal
equation is solely responsible for the die
tum. There is something essentially false
in the time honored adage. DE gustibus
non est disputandum." Taste, the con-
trary. Is a matter of physical and psychic
logical law, immutable the laws of
mathematics. Because New England land
scape has many, if not most of the :ecog
nized conditions of beauty this section as
summer resort region is putting rapidly
away from every other section of. the
United States The charm of variety ap-
pears in nearly all New England town.
ships. American landscape for the .aost
part Is monotonously beautiful-even in
Prof Shaler's native blue grass country;
along our shore and in our rural districts
the beauty is sufficiently varied to be in the
highest degree attractive, even without The
aid of beautiful architecture, of which there
Is far less than there might be.

Stability Of Mountain Ranges.

with the object. so far as geological ques-
items are concerned, of throwing light on
the internal distribution of masses In the
earth and on the rigidity or isostasy or the
terrestrial crust. These problems call for
minute and rigorous observation. In this
way it is believed to have been proved that
the land about the city Of New York has been
