Red Fish of Death.
ON the Honolulu BulletiI

From the Honolulu Bulletin.
A large l.. lux of the alalauwa, the IA
nous red fish about which the Hawaiian
superstition has it that their appearance
denotes the death Of member of the royal
family or some one occupying high place,
is now causing much speculation among
the Hawaiians on the waterfront
The schools Of alalauwa first made their
appearance just a week ago. On Saturday,
Sunday and Monday night fairly large
schools of these fish appeared On Monday
night they came In an amazingly large
number. On Tuesday night there were
fewer of them. and since then their num-
Der has been gradually diminishing 1t la
expected that 1t will cease altogether either
tonight or tomorrow night.
The fish generally appear at about 8
o'clock in the afternoon. The HaWaifans
say they cannot tell where they come from.
Schools of them swim up and down the
harbor for little while, and then disap-
pear again. The fish are about three inches
long and of bright red color.
The Hawaiians say that the fish only APP
pear very seldom, and that their appear
ance in so great numbers as at present is
an infallible sign Of impending death of
some one occupying high station. AS
soon as the school of fish cease to come
this death will take place. A few Of these
fish appeared just prior to the death of
the late Robert Wilcox. With that excep-
ton, the boat boys say that they have not
been seen in the harbor since the death of
Queen Kapiolani and Princess KaiuIani

TOYS OR FIZZ-JIGsp
Isn't the Child's Preference for the
Former Plain and Unmistakable.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Pending the investigation of the toy

&c a result of Christmas are in position
tn observe the varying effects of the differ
ent kinds of toys upon the temper, happi-
ress and general well-being of the victims

The conclusion which we thus submit is
that what children want Is toys and not
fizz-iigs-things that they can play with,
not things of the song and dance variety,
solo artists that need to be wound up and
then do all the playing for themselves
What a child wants from his toys Is not
nrimarily entertainment, but expression;
the expression of his own ideas through
the use of his own faculties. not the ex-
preston of the ingenuity OF the c crerdl

WOOD ALCOHOL IN RUSSIA.
Thirty-seven Deaths Attributed to I
Last Year.

Last Year.
From the New York Sun.
The subject of wood alcohol poisoning
has again cropped up. this time in Russia.
When Russian troops were being modified
last summer at Dorpat the event was made
the occasion for drinking. and men and
women partook freely of a beverage COM
posed, according to the Journal Of the
Medical Association. Of alcohol, water, pep
permint leaves, saliva. lavender, etc. Like
jamaica ginger, this beverage is much at
fected by the Livonians as an internal rem
edy. Similarly. 1t is used as stimulating
drink in default of the ordinary alcohol
beverages.
Unfortunately for the Russian merry
makers, the stuff was made with wood al
cohoi instead of grain alcohol. the conse-
Quence being that sixteen men and one
woman died as result Of the debauch.
1t is suggested that the alcohol useG was
probably of the deodorized kind.
More recently a report has come from
Russia that twenty persons have died at
Kief from drinking methylated brandy.
1t is only within the last year that wood
Up to the year 1904 the wood alcohol used
in Russia was so repugnant to the senses
of smell and taste that even the ignorant
peasants, who will drink the vilest and
strongest forms of spirits, could not use 1t
as beverage.
In the early part of 1904 the deodorized
wood alcohols were introduced into Russia,
in consequence of which there have been
already thirty deaths reported.
As here wood alcohol, owing to Its COM
parative cheapness. seems to have been
largely substituted in Russia for grain al
cohol in the manufacture Of remedial
agents, davoring extracts. perfumes, iini-
ments. witch hazel. etc.

A Knnge Blows LII.

This morning shortly after Z
O'Clock the water front of a range in
the kitchen of the residence of Peter
Smith at 500 South avenue explod-
ed and the range was torn 10 pieces.
The fire department was summoned
and was quickly on the scene. but
through the efforts of Mr.. Smith the
flames started from the explosion
We're soon extinguished and the SER
vices of the fire department were not
needed.
The range is located near the west
wall of the kitchen, and the water
front on exploding completely demol-
ished one half of the stove. One
heavy piece of the iron and steel was
blown through the air, tore a great
hole in the door, and another piece
was blown through a window in the
eastern wall of the house, tearing
away part of the sash and striking
the adjoining house. Mrs. Wilson
was at work in the kitchen and her
little child was playing near the
door opening from the kitchen into
the dining room when the explosion
occurred Very fortunately, they
were out of range of the flying metal
and neither was hurt, though both
Mrs. Wilson and the child were badly
shocked.
The family just moved into the
house yesterday, which until last
week was occupied by Sam Mcleod
and family Mr.. Smith states that
there was no water tank or range
connection at this house and on NOV
ing from 1O7 Main street. in which
house there are hot water attach
ments, he closed up the pipe holes in
the water front as the front would
not be brought into service at the
new home. He thought that all the
water was out of the front, but in
this he was mistaken as the explos-
ion proved A fire was started in
the range this morning and within
an hour the explosion followed.
The damage is not heavy. The
range. comparatively new one, is
completely ruined The escape of
Mrs. Wilson and the baby was a mar
row one.
Nothing is more dangerous than
an explosion of a range, and too
much care toward preventing such
an accident cannot be taken.
