colossal figures are to be found at
the eastern end of the island. They
are heWn out of the volcanic tufa
of an extinct crater and transported
over its sides for three or four miles
The island is almost treeless and
the wonder is how the savages could
remove objects so fragile, and weigh
ing from three to thirty tons over
ground SO rugged to their destination
There are now 400 people living
on Easter island, all o. pure Polyne-

the erection of these images and 1t is
quite evident that they are descend

This mysterious image was pro-
cured, with many others of ethnologl-

ship Mohican under command OF b.

Old Roman Kiln In ENGLAND.

A discovery of great interest to
antiquaries has been made at Worces-

its no sign of having been used Ii
is Just within the city wall, which
dates back to the time of the Com.

Crow Shows intelligence.

It is surprising to see the amount
of intelligence that can be shown by
q crow, but tame bird owned by
Sherbrook Howard of Battle, Me-, ex-
hibits it to large degree.
Each morning the bird flies to It's
masters bedroom window and utters
shrill cries to awaken him, but will
never 90 toward the window again
during the day. Whenever hungry he
flies to the kitchen and keeps up con
tinual squawking until fed. He re-
fuses to fly away, and SO far as known
has never been more than quarter Of
a mile from his adopted home.
A few nights ago several other
crows from neighboring fields did their
utmost to get him to fly away with
them, but, preferring the house of his
young master, Mr.. Crow refused to
stir.

Stones Saw Birth of New York.

Eleven small stones used in the paw

some buildings on one of the New
York streets are among the most an
cient relics of the CITY, and were first
used in the erection of mill in New
Amsterdam. This mill was operated
by horse power, sails not having
reached this country for the operation
of a windmill at that time The eff

Under the Elkins law, any railroad

them. is liable to fine of from $1,000
to $4,000, upon conviction. 1t also
prohibits the carrying of freight at

little hampered by che baby which
they are carrying along on their backs.
The Indian has the papoose. The
women of some of the Oriental tribes
relieve themselves of a great deal OF
work by teaching their infant offspring
to cling to the neck of the mother
There are endless ways of transport
ing the baby, but that of holding 1t
in the arms is the most uncomfortable
of them all Often it is positively
painful.
An assistant for the nurse in the
shape of a mechanical device to dis.
tribute the weight of the infant in

or of West Hoboken, N. j., which is
shown in the accompanying cut. This

weight between the shoulder and the

has the advantage of being much more

Washington by Lafayette.

Washington by Lafayette.
While serving as a member of the
Inauguration Subcommittee, appointed
to mark points of historic interest,
Joseph I. Keefer of Washington made
an interesting discovery. He made 1t
while attending to the masking of the
old Octagon House occupied by Presi-
dent Madison in 1914, after the Brit
ish had burned the White House. Mr..
Keefer said
For long time l had been hunting
about the old houses connected with
the hitsory of Gen. Washington to see
if | could find anything of a famous
mantel brought to this country by
Gen. Lafayette during the Continental
war, which was one of pair. A few
weeks ago | found the much-sought
object in the old Octagon House, cor
ner of Eighteenth street and New
York avenue, where for years it has
stood. On a corner of it found the
marks of the French maker, which cor
respond with those on the other one
exactly.
THE Hardwood House. CharlestOwn,
West Va, which was built by Gen.
Washington for his brother Samuel,
where Louis Philippe (afrerward King
of France) spent nearly year. and
where Washington delighted to bring
Lafayette, contains the other mantel

family of Washington and is un'
changed"

FOR CARRYING THE BABY.
Mechanical Device Designed to Dis
tribute the Weight.

Nearly all the civilized nations as
we'll as the savage tribes have some
characteristic manner of carrying the
infant which is far superior to that
which is generally followed in this
country. namely, of embracing the
child in such a manner that its weight
falls principally on the hands and
arms of the nurse or parent. The
Japanese woman makes sort of sling,
which is thrown over the back and
supported from the shoulders, and
with this bit of apparatus tiny children

The announcement yesterday that
Manager H. Wingate Lake of the Alex
ander Young Hotel was to sever his
connection with that hostelry in April
and leave for the coast on April 10 on
the Ventura was received with regret,
for it means the loss to Honolulu of a
gentleman who has made friends for
Hawaii the world over.
As manager, first of the Royal Ha
waiian Hotel three years ago, and as
manager OF the Alexander Young Hotel
from its opening in July, 1903, to the
present time, Mr. Lake has entertained
guests from almost every country on
the globe. AS an entertainer of army
and navy people, Mr.. Lake is probably
more widely known among the Sons of
Mars and Neptune than any other
hoteIkeepef from New York to Manila,
for it was Mr.. Lake who first began
to entertain army transport people in
Honolulu
Mr.. Lake has been capable man
ager and has conducted his great hostel
ry IN a most credltaDle manner ana In
the face of many difficulties. He will
leave Honolulu with the regret of
townsfolk who have shared frequently
in his hospitality.
Both Mr. ana Mrs. Lake have had
much to do with social happenings in
Honolulu, both enjoying a wide and
ever widening circle of friends.
Mr.. Lake original contract with
the Young Hotel was not up until Au-
gust, but Mr.. Young having found
successor earlier than he anticipated
Mr.. Lake was given the opportunity of
leaving before that time if he wished.
He will probably engage in business on
the coast, although it may not be in
connection with hotels for the present.
