BAHAMA MEN woRsTED.

A majority of the homesteaders COM
posing the Kaihenui Settlement Asso-
citation at Thirteen miles, Olaa, are pre-
pairing to plant sugar cane and have
combined to plant a small acreage of
seed cane for next season s planting.
They have received such bad treatment
by commission men at San Francisco
that they see no profit in bananas for
the grower. The excessive charges
of the railroad, steamship lines and
commission men combine to discourage
the further growing of bananas in this
region, it is alleged.
AprOpos of this, the Herald SAYS:
Bananas. now in demand in San Fran
cisco bring two dollars and a quarter
a bunch at the stores of the commits
sion men, while in Hilo the shippers get
little more than the bills for freight
1t would seem that there is no further
evidence needed that the services of an
agent are required in San Francisco
else the shippers will be robbed Just
so long as the present system contin-
ues. story is told of a fruit man in
California shipping a carload of fruit
to the city and getting sparse returns.
But on the same train as the fruit was
man who went to investigate. He
saw the fruit train unloaded in fine
condition and saw it carted TO the
commission mans store. There he
priced it and saw much G.: &c sold at a
high figure. But the grower realized
little more than the cost of freight
and commission to the dealer, so he
hied himself to the citv and interview
ed the commission man, not with six
shooter, but with a forcible argument
that had the same effect, for the man
discovered that his bookkeeper had
made a mistake in his work and had
not credited the proper amount to him.
Then came an apology. Bookkeepers up
there have to stand for all the schemes
and rascality of their employers with
out receiving a salary commensurate
with the amount of cussing they re-
ceive. The experience of that grape
man is duplicated in HiIo by nearly
every banana grower and the system
viii continue until the growers organ
lie and appoint an agent in whom they
have confidence

lead for good old Rome. l didn't know
he was such sprinter, but we trailed
along behind, roaring like lions, and
snarling like tigers and yip-yapping like
hyenas and barking like timber wolves.
and We couldn't see dad for the dust on
that moonlight night.
We slowed up and let dad run ahead.

off the villains, and finally we went in

boxes, and that part of the Coliseum

the soap man Joined dad in high-ball.
After dad got through putting and had
wiped about two quarts OF perspiration
on his head and neck. and the soap man
mad told him what great thing it was
to perspire in Rome, on account of the
Roman fever, that catches a man at
night and kills him before morning, dad
turned to me and said: "Hennery, you
go pack up and we get out of this in the
morning, for I feel as though I had
been chewed by one of those hyenas.
Not any more Rome for papa" and the
h1gh-ball party broke up, and We went

Do you know, the next morning those
hired villains made the soap man and

OF the boards for over 1000 years,
that the eating of human prisoners by
wild beasts in the presence of the
Roman populace was played out, and
that the Coliseum was ruin and did not
exist as a place of amusement. He
thought everything that he had read
about the horrors of Roman holiday
was running to-day, as side show, and
he wanted to see it, and had encouraged
him in his ideas, because he was nervous,
and 81 didn't want-to@ @undeceive him.
He had come to Rome to see things he
couldn't find at home, and it was up to
me to deliver the goods. -. ;:.'
Gee, but it made me sweat, cause
knew If dad did not get a show for his
money, he would lay it up against me,
SO l told him we would go to ths
Coliseum that night and see the hungry
lions and tigers eat some Of the leading
citizens, just as they did when Caesar
run the show. Then found an Ameri-
can from Chicago at the hotel, who
sells soap in Rome, and told him what
dad expected of me in the way of amuse-
ment, and he. said the only way was to
take dad out to the Coliseum, and in
the dark roll a barrel of broken glass
down the tiers of seats and make him
believe there was an earthquake that
had destroyed the Coliseum, and that the
lions and tigers were all loose. looking
for people to eat, and scare dad and
make run back to iowa.
I didn't want to play such scandalous
trick on dad, but the Chicago man said
that was the only way out of it, and he
could get a, barrel of broken glass for a
dollar, and hire four ruhians that could
roar like lions for a few dollars, and it
would give dad good exercise, and may
be save him from a run OF Roman fever,
cause there was nothing like good
sweat to knock the fever out OF a fell
lows system. The thing struck me as
not only good experience for dad, but
a life saver, so I whacked up the money,
and the Chicago soap man did the rest
After dark we went out to the ruin of
the Coliseum, where great many tour
lists 60 to look at the ruins by moon
light, and dad was as anxious and blood
thirsty as a young surgeon cutting up his
first "stiff." When we got to the right
place, and told dad We were little
early, because the nobility were not in
their seats, the villains began to roar
three dollars worth, like hungry lions,
and dad turned little pale, and said
that sounded like the real thing. -

and if the upper edges still agree the
two strips are correct.
Having obtained q true. surface, as
above directed, the second step Is to
plane one of the edges straight and at
exact right angles to the first surface
The test is by using the try square as
shown at A in Fig. Al.
This first trued side and first jointed
edge at right angles to each other are
called respectively the face side and
work edge of the piece, and in every
case they must both be marked with =
pencil, as shown at B Gig. AZ. These
marks should be placed at the angle
which separates the two ,trued sur
faces, as shown in the illustration.
This will indicate the corner at which
the two surfaces are in the required
relative position to each other.

The shoot board will be found to
work much better than the bench
hook for all such purposes as above,
and this is especially true when the
pieces are wide, so as to present an
end of considerable length to the
plane.
Having succeeded in planning one end
of the piece true and square, next lay
off the required length on the face side
of the piece and with a try square
placed against the work edge, draw q
sharp. cut line on the surface, and also
on the front and back edges. AS be-

in this case four inches-and, placing
the head of the gauge firmly against
the work edge, gauge or mark the
piece on both sides. All wood outside
of the gauge line is now planed of,
but great care must be taken to plane
only to the gauge line, as a shaving
carelessly taken below the line will
make the piece too narrow for the re-
quired use. If the planning has been
done with care and accuracy the two
edges Of the piece will be parallel and
the width correct.
The fourth step is to reset the mark

say three-fourths inch-and with the

FACTS ABOUT sun SPOTS.
They Often Break Out and Disappear
Under the Eye Of the -
Observer.

That great sun spot that Chicagoans
were treated to recently did not smash
the record for bigness, even though It
did appear to do SO to those who looked
at it with naked eyes through Chicago's
smoke, says the News, of that city.
Some astronomers said that the spot
was 80 600 miles across. and others that
it's diameter was $4,000 miles. But even
so, 600, miles would not be the record
diameter. For, back in 1S43, when the
Mfllerites were looking for the end OF
the world, there was great sun spot
that to many seemed to lend weight to
the Millerttes' arguments from the time
prophecies in the Bible. For week in
that year there was a sun spot that was
visible to the naked eye. It measured
1856 miles across. On the day of the
eclipse in 1858 q spot 107. 900 miles in
extent was clearly seen. These spots
are considered to be storms in the glow
ing gases that correspond to the atmos-
phere Of this earth. If there were ships
on the sun as large as this earth they
would be tossed about like autumn
leaves IN an ocean storm.
These solar spots are most abundant
on the two sides of the suns equator,
where they mark something akin to q
terrestrial cyclone belt. The center of
q cyclone is rarefied and therefore cold
er. Cold on the sun is darkness. An
astronomer says that these cyclones
carry down into the depths of the solar
mass the cooler materials of the upper
layers, formed principally of hydrogen,
and thus produce in their center q de-
cided extinction of light and heat as
long as the gyratory movement lasts.
Finally the hydrogen, set free at the
base Of the whirlpool, becomes reheated
at this great depth and rises up tumult.
uously, forming irregular jets, which
appear above the chromosphere. ....
Sun spots often break out or disap-
pear under the eye of the observer.
They divide like a piece of ice dropped
on the surface of a frozen pond, the
pieces sliding off in every direction, or
they combine like separate foes driven
together into pack. Sometimes spot
will last for more than 200 days, through
six or eight revolutions of the sun.
Sometimes spot will last only half an
hour. -: -, ~

movements" writes Henry White War
rem, D. D., ARE incredible. An uprush

These tempests are over regions so wide
that our own Indian ocean is too small
to be used for comparison. AS they

Far Too Modest

Prince Edward of Wales, who is now
nearly II years old, and is generally
considered to be the flower Of the flock,
is an especial favorite with his royal
grandfather. Like many other chill
dren, the young prince has a habit of
expressing himself at times in an IN
expected manner. When visiting King
Edward the other day the king asked
him what he was studying. "Oh, all
about Perkin Warbeck," was the re-
joinder. Asked who Warbeck was the
little prince replied: HE pretended he
was the son Of king, but he wasn't:
he was the son of respectable parents.'''
