A Bottcmless pit.

A bottomless pit has been found in
the mountains of Hualilai, back OF
Kailua, Honolulu. 1t is about four feet
in diameter. The pit is peculiar from
the fact that it sucks in the air with
remarkable force. Pieces of paper
placed over the mouth do not float
gently down, but are suddenly drawn
in and disappear with startling "a.
pidity. The air rushing into the pit
can be distinctly felt by people stand
ing on the edge. There has been no
attempt made thus far to reach the
bottom of the pit or to determine its
character Strange sounds are heard
in Honaunau. Every night the inhab-
itants of that section distinctly hear
note similar to the blowing of deep
steamship whistle. Nobody has been
able to discover any cause for it. and
considerable anxiety is felt by the SUI
perstitious. The noise is heard for
about five seconds, and then subsidies
for space of about ten minutes and
then resumes for another five seconds

How to Set the Color.

It is impossible to tell whether v.
colce is fast before washing, but by tar
the safest plan Is to "set" the color
before it goes to the tub for the first
time.
One of the best methods of setting
delicate colors consists In simply max
ing strong brine Of cold water and
salt, and soaking the garment from
twelve to twenty four hours.
OF course this should be done just
before going to the laundry, and The
salt should not be allowed to dry in il.
This is especially good for all shades
Of pink and green. and colors once set
this way will be bright as long as it
would be possible to expect 1t.
strong solution Of alum and water
is good. particularly with blues and
the more delicate shades Of brown;
but its effect Is not so lasting IA that
of salt. and it is sometimes necessary
to renew the bath after the first three
or four washings.

Isn't it fun to sail a boat. boys and
girls? Not real one, because. Of
course, very few of us can do that.
but those that we make ourselvee.
Some boys can build really fine lit
tie craft for themselves, but for those
who have not that knack we will tell
of way to make whole feet of sail
boats 1t is SO easy that even very
tiny tots can manage it.
Take the shells Of walnuts, the big
best you can find clean them out care
fully and cover the opening with card
board cut the exact size. Thrust a
match through the center of this card
board and fasten it to the bottom of
the shell with sealing wax or beeswaX.
Cut a sail out of white paper and
fasten it to the match with thread.
If you like, you can paint the hull
of your boats (the SHIELD in colors;
say. have one fleet all white. another
gray for fighting trim, and so on.
These boats can be sailed in fcun-
tainS, in bath tubs or even in real
ponds, because they are SO cheap to
make that no one would be bankrupt
If every vessel were swamped. Fine
races can also be arranged between
contrasting boats.

What IL tho origin of displaying

When this question is put the an.
swer always is unhesitatingly given:
1T Is borrowed from the navy. The
pennant at half mast is always a sign
Of mourning"
yes; but was it at first ships
signal of distress. as some say?"
In the seventeenth century it was SO
employed by the Spaniards. and in the
following century 1t was so recognized
by English and French sailors. We
also know that flags were commonly
used at funerals in England; hence the
common application OF the combina-
ton of the two usages on occasions OF
bereavement.

Among the people who went to set

man with very red hair, says Golden
Days. He and his party were thrown
among the Indians. who thought at
first his hair was painted, just az they
painted their own bodies and faces.
An old chief came up to him one day
and looked OF his hair very carefully.
Ugh" said the Indian.
And then. turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge, asked
where the man got the kind of paint
that would color, and yet not be greasy
or look dauby. He was told that the
mans hair was not painted, but he
would not believe it. He once more

the red locks, running his hand
through them and looking at his fin
