Stop half an hour and you may SEE
every step OF the cremation rites. Sit

right and left, are friends and relatives
of the dead ones The figure to the
right, huddled up in a bright green
wrap, is of the lowest caste of HindOo

the sacred fire for igniting every corpse
is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries
of "Raml RamanaP' and, behold, a
burial procession is coming down the
slope. -Four men carry the corpse
slung between two bamboo poles and
cry to the god Ram. He is the persona

THE BAYEUx TAPESTRY.

An Extraordinary Work of Art of
Great Historic Value.
Few besides those who have visited
BayeuX OF have especially studied the
subject have any idea of what this ex-
traordinary work of art is really like
or have any authentic knowledge of its
history 1t tells the story of Edward,
quest of William in series of pic
lures, so that its value is great as a
chronicle as we'll as a relic of needle
work 800 years old.
The vicissitudes of the treasure have
been many 1t is a curious fact that
cropped entirely out of the worlds
knowledge 1t was preserved with
care among the treasures of ne
Bayeux cathedral and was brought ont
for eight days every summer and hung
about the nave of the cathedral. No
one but the peasants ever saw it, and
the cathedral authorities cared for II
only as a decoration. In 1924 an old
drawing of part of the tapestry came
into the hands of a learned antigua
rian, who tried without success to find
the original. The Pere Montfaucon
also tried to find it and at last succeed
ed and told the world about it in his
great book, Monuments de la Monar-
chic Franchise"
The church had no power to protect
such treasure in 1924, and the ancient
length of linen with its quaint EN-
broidery was dragged out Of the ca
thedral and used to cover one Of the
military wagons belonging to the local
battalion. NJ lie Forester rushed to
It's rescue and substituted a canvas to
cover the wagon and brought the tap
estry to his study till he was relieved
from his self appointed mission by a
commission that undertook the protec-
ton of the work of art. Now the tap.
estry has been restored and may be
seen framed under glass In museum

COLOR OF THE SUN.
What Would Happen If 1t Were OIL
er Than What II Is

err Than What 1t Is.
A German astronomer has published
come interesting observations on the
theoretical effects of change in the
color of the sun 1t is amazing to con-
slider the possibilities if our sun were
green, blue or red instead of what it
is. If it were blue, there would be
only two colors in the world-blue and
black. If it were red, then everything
would be red or black. If it were vel
low, everything would be yellow or
black. Every one knows that the light
of our sun consists of six colors, and
the reason things are different hues is
that some swallow up five of the colors
and reflect only one. Thus we have
primoses yellow because they absorb
all but the yellow, roses red because
they absorb all but the red, violets
purple because they absorb every
thing but red and blue, a mixture of
which two colors forms purple.
In the event of the sun being red,
roses, blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. So also would snow, the lily and
all things that are now white, but
these would, of course, be red. Every
thing else would swallow up the red
light and appear quite black. Grass,
for instance, would be black as ink,
and so would the blue of the sky, but
the white clouds would be red. The
same kind of thing would happen If
the sun were blue. Everything now
blue or white would be blue and every
thing else black. The whole sky
clouds and all, would be blue. The
grass this time would be blue, not
black, for it reflects both blue and
yellow. Hair would be all black, the
red of the lips would be black, and the
rest Of the face would be a cloudy
blue If the sun were green, we would
have little variety. Things that are
now yellow would still be yellow
things that are blue would be blue
and things that are green would still
be green, but there would be no reds
puppies, orange, pinks or any of those
CHEEKY hues that make the world looh

Mirrors In the MiddIe Ages.


In the middle ages, when steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used, method of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors of
glass were made in Germany before
the sixteenth century and were in de-
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes, into which
while they were hot was passed through
a pipe mixture Of tin, anthony and
rosin. When the globe was coated
inside it was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but well defined images.

TERRITORY AND COUNTY
FRICTION

The predominance of fub-dub and
fiddle faddle over common business
sense in the discussions of the Terri
toral officers with the County Super
visors gives rise to the impression that
perhaps the Territorial officers don't
yet know that the people mean bust
ness in connection with the County
law.
II It is fight the Territorial officers
want, they can get 1t in large and lib
eral doses. The people of Hawaii
have bowled over the senseless and
un.American opposition to the County
law once. They can do 1t again and
repeat II just as often as the expon-
ents of Capitalization want to poke w
their heads to be hit.
The atmosphere of these prelimi
nary meetings of the Supervisors with
the Territorial officers Is this: The
Territorial representatives speak OF
their great readiness and deep interest
IN having the Inauguration OF tho
County system pass off with as little
friction as possible and in the same
breath they raise long list Of points
for friction and claim that they cannot
help It.
! Superintendent Holloway's point
that the Superintendent of Public
Works should have the naming of the
man in charge OF the electric light sta
ton because the electric light station
Is still Territorial property, Is the most
preposterous proposition imaginable.
Another on the same order is that
the County Supervisors shall keep an
exact accounting of the mules and
jackasses in the road department and
return them or replace them. 1t sug.
gests that the mules and jackasses are
in great preponderance In the Terrific
rial government If this Is the spirit
with which the Territorial officers In
tend to approach the County problems
Tho Bulletin would suggest that the
J Supervisors propose to the Territorial
officers that the Territory try to run
these departments after the first oil
July,-and see where they get of. What
good is all this paraphernalia to do
the Territorial officers when they have
not the money to care for or operate
! it? And can't get It?
Let the Superintendent Of Public
Works name the electric light mana
ger and also provide the funds to pay
him. Let the Attorney Generals de
partment try to name the police Off
cials and then let the Territorial de
partment provide the funds for run
