WILD LIFE
ON INCREASE
The Birds and Fishes OF
Keeper Young's
Domain.

| Superintendent Young of KapiolanI
| Park declares that there are just as
| many fish in the lagoon as there ever
were
Some years ago carbolic acid was
| placed in the water to kill the foul
smell and number of fish suffered
in consequence. Since then, however,
they have increased in number and
thriven.
The fish to be found in the lagoon
are carp, goldfish, China-fish, an occa-
sionaI small olua, mullet, and three or
four species of catfish.
One day this week carp was seen
near the foodgate over two feet in
length. There are others in the lagoon
considerably larger than this.
A big China-fsh which is occasion
ally seen is fully three feet in length.
A big China-fish which is occasion
ally seen is fully three feet in length.
superintendent Young denies that the
wild bird life Of the park is becoming
diminished. He says that there are
more coots about the place than ever
before and that at certain hours of the
day wild duck and plover come into
the marshy infield OF the old race track
in fiockS.
The duck and plover put in an ap-
pearance just now between and
o'clock of an afternoon, remain in the
marsh all night and are away seward
before dawn.
On the race track are also to be
found two species of heron, the COM
mon ''fish-hawk'' and big gray fell
low.
Among the trees of the park the dill
igent observer may see an occasional
canary and some curious part-albino
sparrows which have been there for
years Doves there are in plenty and
mynahs by the hundred. The latter
make life unbearable for any small
birds but the pugnacious little English
sparrow.
The lounger by the lagoon if he keeps
still, will notice that small black tur
ties are frequent among the lily-pads.

MUSICAL GIRL PATRONS
IN CLADK'S Dive

Joe Clark's dive in Palama has added
a new Saturday night attraction in the
way of his female habitues playing on
guitars and other musical instruments,
ard singing at the tops of their voices.
All this takes place in the saloon
proper. The fact that a police alarm
box is near, where police officers along
the beat report ever SO often, APP
rarently has no effect on the proprietor
or the girls The officers also appear
to take no notice of the disorderly
conduct in the saloon.

2SI GUILTY OF HAZING.
House Committee Reports that Ma
val Academy Trials Must Stop.

House Committee Reports that Ma
val Academy Trials Must stop.
Hazing at the Naval Academy in An
napolis has been so extensive that PSI
members of the three upper classes are
liable to expulsion. This fact was report
ed TO the House Committee on Naval At
fairs in Washington by the subcommittee
which has been making an investigation.
The subcommittee said it would be too
serious a matter to try these 2S1 mid
shlpmen, as doubtless they would be
proven guilty, and, once convicted, the
President would have no other alternative
but TO expel them. The result would be
a great and unnecessary loss to the gov
eminent. The Naval Academy authori-
ties, therefore, have been compelled by
the logic OF the situation to drop trials
for hazing. The committee says plainly
the present law expelling a midshipman
convicted of hazing is vicious and should
be changed for one permitting graduated
punlshments. The investigation of the
committee shows there are three forms of
hazlng at Anna polis-physical hazing,
running, and tagging. They are defined
at length in the report. The physical
hazing consists of fighting, compelling mid
shipmen to stand on their heads, and 9th
er much discussed means of punishment.
Tagging is the forcing of under classmen
to do mental service for upper class men,
such as backing shoes and serving meals.
Running is the forcing of under classmen
to do ridiculous feats. One of the most
popular performances under this classif-
cation was giving an exact imitation OF
sunrise on the farm, which consisted of
initiating ROSTERS and other domestic
fowl

chief engineer of the department of
Pas-de-Calais, admits that the engin-
GERS, after fighting this fire for four
days, being unable to master it, closed
all the outlets. M. Leon believes tiS-
sures must have formed which permit
ted gases to escape and, those becoming
ignited, the explosion followed.
Saturday morning the miners went
to their work as usual and 1,795 men
had descended when there was a deaf
ening explosion. The cages in which
the miners descended into pits ,, 3 and
were hurled thirty feet from the
mouth of the shaft. \ miner working
near the mouth was killed, and horse
was blown into the air. The roof of
the mine office was blown off. Immedi-
ately following the explosion flames
burst from the mout4 Of the pit, driv-
ing back those without who sought to
enter and booming those within.
Within an incredibly short time the
entire interior of the mine was vast
roaring furnace, the flames even pour
ing out of the mouth of the shaft at
times and driving away the rescue
parties which attempted to descend
into the mine.

PaS-de-CalaiS, France, numbers LOO.
and the whole region sands appalled,
at the tragedy, which has brought sor-
row to 5000 fathers, mothers. wives
and children. The last great mine dis
aster in France occurred in 1885. when
293 persons were killed and SO injured
but that and all others sink into insig-
nificance before Courrieres.
After fifteen hours of perilous effort,
all attempt to rescue the men entombed
in the burning coal mine at Courrieres.
near Calais, was abandoned.
The explosion occurred at O'Clock
in the morning, soon after 1876 men
had descended into the mine to begin
their days work. twenty-five thousand
persons crowded around the mouths of
the shafts, helpless 20 save the en-
tombed miners or even to bring out
their bodies. The whole interior of the
mine was a roaring furnace of flames
for hours. All the wooden props burned
away, and it was announced that the
galleries, which afforded the only pos
sible place of safety for the entombed
men, had fallen in.
All France has been profoundly
shocked by the magnitude of the disas-
ter, which is said to be the greatest in
the history of continental mining Pres
