The Darkened Stable.

Where animals are kept in the stable
auring the summer months, as, for ex-
annie work horses, or, in some in
stances the breeding stock, nothing
contributes so much to their comfort
as that Of protecting them from flies.
Animals that are kept busy fighting
aies require more food to keep them
in condition, and, indeed, 1t is impossi-
bile with an unlimited supply of food
TO keep them in proper condition.
Advantage should be taken of the
fact that flies constantly tend to seek
the light places. A stable need not
he absolutely dark in order to prevent
annoyance from flies, and, in fact, we
do not believe in keeping stables too
dark. on account of the fact that ami
mails are liable, If kept in such quar-
ters for any considerable length of
time, to go wrong in their eyes. Gun
nv sack nailed over the windows of
the stable will greatly reduce the num-
Der of flies that will poster the ami
mails. These should not be nailed
down absolutely tight at the bottom,
or air will be excluded and the stable
will become warm and unhealthful. If
the sacks are partly loose at the bottom
they will still shade the stable salts
factorily and at the same time admit
air. Horses placed in the stable for
an hour at noon will eat better, rest
better, and we cannot help but think
they will work better afterward, If
they are afforded some protection dur
ing the time they are in the stall. In
some of our better class of stables reg
ular window blinds are used, these be-
ing pulled down during the day and
run up at night, thus freely admit
ting the air when no protection from
flies is necessary. 1t is claimed by
those who use such blinds that their
cost is more than offset many times
during q single season in the saving of
feed that is effected by the protection
which they afford.

Farmers Dress.

Since rural people are isolated the
tendency is for them to become care
less in dress. l am sure that l be-
came careless and that l was a fright
full object to look upon when l was
striving for foothold upon the farm
under adverse circumstances. 1t Is
well for the farmer, his wife. daugh.
tiers and sons to slick up in the matter
Of dress after the days work Is DONE
so they may appear at the supper table
and during the evening in clothes
suitable for receiving any one who
may happen to call. Very likely no
one may call, but for the sake of the
family it will pay to give this atten-
ton to dress.

COST OF NAVAL BATTLE.
Five Minutes Fighting Requires an Ex-
penditure of $4,000 on One Ship.

Five Minutes Fighting Requires an lex
penditure of $4,000 on One Ship.
From Tuesday to Sunday" Victor
Hugo wrote in his diary on Jan. 3,
1871, "the Prussians hurled 25,OOO pro-
jectiles at us. 1t required 22O railway
trucks to transport them. Each shot
cost 90 francs; total, 100000 francs
The damage to the forts is estimated
at 400 francs. About ten men have
been killed. Each of our dead cost the
Prussians 10000 francs"
This extract, says London Tit-Bits
gives one an excellent idea Of the cost
and ineffectiveness of big-gun work on
land a generation ago, when it took an
average of $500 prOjectlles, costing
10000 francs, to kill a single man
and to infict less than &c worth Of
damage on the enemy's Notifications.
But time has changed since then,
and munitions with them, and the
great guns Of to-day, on the sea at any
rate, give a vastly different account Of
themselves. During the recent war
between America and Spain 1t will be
recalled that the Brooklyn poured such
deadly deluge of projectiles into the
Spanish warship Viscaya that within
five minutes the latter lay at the bot
tom of the sea a rent and battered
tumble Of scrap iron.
In all the Brooklyn fired G1S shells
at the Vascaya and the bill of destruc-
ton read thus:
To al S-inch shells, at $50 each,
1850; to 50 6-lnch shells, at f21 each,
E1,3G5; to u 6-pounder shells, at II
each, Ell; to 400 1-pOund shells, at II
shillings g pence each, $3.50.
Thus the five minutes firing cost the
United States f8G77, and during each
minute of the duel the Brooklyn hurled
1913 pro 'ectiles at her enemy at a cost
Of f1,735. If we add to this the cost
OF the Viscaya's answering fire we see
that the fight between the two ships
could scarcely have cost less than
$1,000 minute, or at the rate Of $780,
600 an hour. We must remember, too.
that on neither ship would 1t be posi-
bic TO use all the available guns at
once; so that there is still a large mar
gin for increased expenditure when
man-of-war Is in position to use her
fighting powers to the utmost.
But let us take one of our own first
class battleships, the London, and esi-
mate the cost of five minutes fighting,
assuming that she could use all Of her

The Londons four Pinch guns,
which. by the way, cost no less than
100000, fire armor-piercing shells

costing $50. Thus in five minutes

wheels made of inch hardwood board
about eight inches in diameter. These
wheels run on the axle SO the other
end of the frame can be picked up
and the grindstone rolled around easily
wherever 1t is needed. The legs
should be braced as required. The

monsters would hurl at the enemy
forty projectiles weighing more than
eighteen tons and costing f3 30.
Each siX-inch gun, of which she has
twelve, costing f3,750 each, throws
shells Of 100 pounds weight costing
ia apiece, and in five minutes of rapid
and continuous firing these guns would
pour into the enemy's ships n hurri-
cane of projectiles weighing twenty
two tons, at a cost Of E6,6SS SO far we
have only accounted for sixteen out of
the forty-siX guns
The London tWelve-pounders number
sixteen and cost 5000 EACH from the
mouths Of these guns no fewer than
9G0 shells could be poured in five min
utes, representing nine tons of metal
and a cost of f2,SSO.
Each of the half-dozen three-pound-
ers has a firing capacity Of thirty
shells a minute, so that in a five min
utes' fight they alone would send 1000
worth Of metal into the enemy's side;
while the eight maXims would send out
a storm of death-dealing bullets weigh
ing more than six hundredweight and
costing f140
Thus, in five minutes fighting, using
all her fOrty-six guns, the London
would vomit forth over fifty tons of
projectiles and the cost of this barking
would work out to more than $4,000.

Surprising results have been pro-

Japanese growers. 1t is said there are
pine trees that started to grow in the
seventeenth century which are still not

UNDER THE SUN.

The men who have gone before Ms
Have sung the songs we sing;
The words OF our clamorous chorus.
They were heard of the ancient King.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill us.
They were struck in the years gone by,
And the arrows of death that kill us
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day;
The moan Of the stricken creature
Has rung in the woods Away.
But the songs are worth resinging
With the change of no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
AS they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow, Lowell
Nor need there ever be,
For the old. with its hill and hollow,
Love!
Is enough for you and me.

Stock Raising by Electricity.


According to recent issue of the
Chicago Tribune, an electrical system
Of stock-raising has been developed on
a moderate scale at the University of
Michigan. Small animals, such as
rabbits, have already been forced into
matured size and plumpness in two
thirds of the period required by nature.
showing the possibility of reducing the
tedious development of larger stock,
especially sheep or COWS, by many
months. In several rooms of the cleo
tro- therapeutic laboratory, cheap wood
en- pens, circular In form, have been
wound to the height Of two feet with
electric wires. A moderate current of
one-half horse power circles these
electric pens. From Its influence the
air inside the pens Is made electro
magnetic, becoming a strong magnetic
field, with sixty-two lines of force to
the square inch. In these pens rabbits
have grown to maturity in twothirds
Of the time that rabbits near them
have developed in non-electrical pens.
These electrically nurtured animals
did not become larger than normal
rabbits; they merely arrived at normal
size quicker. Furthermore, as is the
case with dollhouse flowers, they were
found less hardy than their slower
brothers. But, for the livestock mar
ket, the forced animals had an unex-
celled tenderness and plumpness.

SPEEDY TRIAL TRIP
OF CONRADT's LAUNCH

The trial trip of Christian Conradt's
new thirty-foot launch Kamana, built
for his Kahoolawe trade, was taken
Saturday afternoon with Mr.. Conradt
aboard, who came from Maui for the
trial. r. w. Hebron, designer of the
craft. was with him and the regular
crew employed on Kahoolawe in the
launch to be replaced by the Kamana.
The trip was more than successful,
the Kamana proving a splendid sea
boat, perfectly dry in head seas and
hitting up a trifie better than eight
miles an hour for a three hours con-
tinuous trip. The Healani boat house
was left at two o'clock and the railroad
wharf at the Peninsula in Pearl Har-
Dor passed a little before three-thirty.
After Cruising little way down the
middle loch the launch returned to Ho-
nolulu, this end of the trial being con-
sidered the most important as head
seas and wind were to be encountered
without the aid of the sails. Home at
the Healani boat house was reached
without accident shortly after five,
some twenty-seven miles having been
completed in a little less than three
hours and a half.
Mr.. Conradt expressed himself as de-
lighted with the sea-going qualities of
this new acquisition and the perfor-
nance of the double cycle Lozier en-
CINE of ten horse power, the first to be
used in these waters. The Hawaiian
crew who have been running an old
style launch, wet boat, are enthusiasts
tic over their new craft.
The Kamana is of modern type with
a modification of the new torpedo stern
She carries foresaiI and mainsail with
gaffs and is capable of holding her own
under sail alone. She was built by the
same firm in San Francisco which
turned out the speedy and sturdy
Gladys.

ABDUCTION
A Negro Lures a Young
Native Girl to San
Francisco.

A credulous, ignorant mother, a
bright kanaka girl of fourteen years
and a burly designing Jamaica negro
are the characters in strange story
which began in Honolulu eight months
ago and terminated yesterday in Judge
Murasky's courtroom.
Illinois Wise, the negro, adopted
Othello-like tactics in his endeavor to
win the pretty Rosie. He modernized
the general plan a bit, and instead of
picturing himself the hero of wars
he claimed to be a master of finance.
Lands and gold in plenty were at his
not appeal to the island beauty
The negro was not discouraged.
Finding the girl Indifferent to his wooing
he hit on the scheme of Offering TO
adopt, educate and make her his heir
ess. The mother was captivated with
the idea. She signed a paper which she
thought was a binding and legal docu
ment and on the promise of Wise to
place the girl in a convent on her ar
rival in San Francisco gave Rosie in
to the keeping of her supposed guard
ian.
Rosie's first discovery was that the
negro was a cook. He took her aboard
a schooner bound for this port. Find
ing that Wise had deceived her mother
and that he was taking her to San
Francisco under false pretenses Rosie
appealed to the captain and his wife
for protection. They took charge of
her, but when the ship locked Wise
hurried her away and placed her with
Mrs. Haynes at 915 Powell street.
He said that Rosie was his wife, but
this the girl denied. Mrs. Haynes took
the girls part and Wise in digust
went off to sea. He came back sew
eral days ago and endeavored to in
timidate the girl with threats. She
appealed to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children and
when Judge Murasky heard her story
he placed her in charge of the society
on the assurance of Secretary White
that he knew Of a good family that was
willing to take her.-San Francisco Ex-
