A PoIynesian PoIyglot Conference
BY Bishop j. W. :iamiton.

tions-and Booker washington in par
ticular-have only come like Topsy
Now that the worlds zones have come
to elbows that kind of a prayer car
no longer be made even a mere tiffany
for an American Sunday, and it can't
stand the strain of a cosmopolitan
.work-a-day affair. It is a serious ap-
proach which is made here toward the
solidarity of race. Here are Japanese
Koreans and Chinese; Portuguese and
French; Norwegians and Germans;
British and Americans: Hawaiians and
Polynesians, and hundreds of other
nationalities, many with strains of two
or three or four races and some with
parts of almost each and all. The
product is a type in most instances
better than either or both of the
parents.
There are 31an-worthy examples in
all the combinations. In the charming
home on yonder street were ten ac-
complished, educated and wealthy
daughters, part Chinese, part Hawai-
ian and part American; now a number
of them are the worthy wives of Amer
leans, some of them distinguished
Americans, one an admiral in the navy.
Across the boulevard, in the splendid
home at the center of the ten acres of
cocoanut, tamarind and cinnamon
grove and garden, lived the princess
of the realm daughter of the sturdy
Scotchman who survives her and
counts it pleasure to show you over
the driveways, through the garden and
the house where the young lady re-
ceived her numerous friends with such
courtly manners and state. The queen
herself was the wife of a Boston Amer
lean. And the English, American and
German colonists, even the sons and
of missionaries, have help
ed to grow nearly all the races in the
islands, from branch to root, like the
banyan, into one great family tree.
1t is in this Paradise of the Pacific
and now most frequented of all the
capital cities of the Polynesian archi-
pelago, that the lines have fallen in
pleasant places to enough of the fol-
other annual Conference of Missions.
And it was on the night of the twenty
eighth of December, 1905, I, another
John, one OF the wandering Wesleyan
was given the honor and
privilege to call together at Honolulu
the preachers and their helpers from
nearly fifty preaching places scattered
over "the Islands," among the peoples
Of the several different nationalities

ANTICS Of AN EARTHQUAKE
English Engineer Tells How 1T Freed
Stranded River Boat.

r. w. Andrews, al English mining
engineer, who arrived recently from
Barranquilla on the Atlas line steamer
Alene, told of wonderful experience
during the earthquake in South Amer
lea on Jan. 81. when river steamer on
which he was coming down the Mag
dalena river was shifted by the seis-
mic disturbance from a mud bank.
where she had been stuck for four
days, into deep water. says the New
York Herald.
Mr. Andrews is said to be connected
with a syndicate which has just ac-
CURED control of certain mines in
South America. He is on his way to
South Africa.
Il had taken passage on q river boat
on my way from Bogota, the capital Of
Colombia, to BarranQuilFa. where | in
tended to catch a ship for New York,
said Mr. Andrews 1.-THE vessel was
similar to tie craft used on the Missis-
sippi, with a big paddle wheel at the
stern. We had got as far as Calimai
when, getting out Of the channel. we
stuck fast in the mud This was on
JAN p. We lay there until early III
the afternoon Of jan 81.
1T was about half past 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and / was doing under
an awning on the deck when felt the
vessel give lurch shoreward and
Jumped up. We rocked back and forth
once or twice. and could see the
houses Oh shore sWaying. The water
seemed much agitated. and fish began
jumping up out of it everywhere. A
quarter Of an hour later there came
lurched back in the opposite direction.
and, much to our surprise and JOY. we
slid out into deep water and were able
to continue our voyage

| GERS Of the club to provide all with en-
ployment. A tentative agreement has
already been made with one railroad to
furnish laborers so soon as the club is
in running shape, and officers Of other
railroads and construction companies
| have intimated that if the club can fur
nish good men the organization will be
patronized. This alone, without the
hotel feature it is believed. will be &
great inducement for the ''hoboes'' to
join. and it is estimated by Mr.. Wilson
that before the end Of the year tie or
ganizatiOn will have a membership Of
over 5000 With such an organization
he INSISTS that great deal of Iegisla-
ton in the interests OF the working
classes could be accomplished.
While the club is in the nature OF
union it will not be affiliated with any
Of the other union labor movements.
It will not antagonize, but rather work
in sympathy, though Independently
When clubs have been established III
other cities any member Of one club
will be extended a fraternal hand
when he drifts into town or city
where another community club is to be
found. A hobo being a member of
one club can then feel that he always
has q home where others Of his fell
lows have established club, and in
stead Of loafng around a low saloon
while he is not working he can spend
his time in his OWE club. where all the
comforts Of q cluE' will be found not

The greatest blessing which the ''ho-
boes" are expected to get from the
club is through the labor department
features. Under the present system
the men pay enormously for the privi-
lege of working The labor depart
ment of the club will secure these men
jobs free Of charge, and, as conse-
quence, arrangements will be made J
with the railroads and the construction
companies to that effect.
The labor department will also go a
long way toward solving the unenploy- |
ed problem. Every man who applies
will be given q chance to work If he |
complains of being down on his luck
he will be provided for at the expense
of the club until a job is secured for
him, and then if he is not willing to ac- |
cept it he will be discharged from the
organization. 1t is believed, too, that |
1t will be saving to the city in that |
where sc, many of them are now cared |

REVOLUTION in FLOWERS.
Cornell Professor Tells of Brugglng
Plants to Quicken Maturity.

Plants TO Quicken Maturity.
Flowers and vegetables are drugged
with ether nowadays They are put III
air tight dens and fed on ether for
twenty-four or thirtr-six hours until
they become SO permeated with the
fumes that they mature in about half
the time it takes them to develop natur
rally, says the New York Herald.
Stately Easter lilies treated for TWEEN
ty-four hours have put forth magnifi-
cent blooms with the help Of warm
acetylene light at night, and narcissus
plants have doubled the size Of their
flowers after spending a day and a
half in the Gen.
This remarkable method Of forcing
both flowers and vegetables to matu-
rity has been developed in the horti-
cultural department OF Cornell uniyer-
sity, Ithaca. N T. It was told to the
public for the first time the other after
noon at the winter exhibition of the
farmers institute, in the American in
John Craig, head of the horticultural
branch OF Cornell.
''It means a revolution in flowers
and vegetables. this new way Of fore
ing them, because they seem to be
stimulated to a more perfect maturity
than when they develop naturally"
Professor Craig said. BY experiment
in the university we found that the
ether administered in an air tight box
or den for twenty-four or thirty-six
hours had q most remarkable vitaliz-
ing effect on certain kinds of flowers
and vegetables and that when in aGdi
ton to being kept in the sunlight dur
ing the daytime they were exposed at
night to the light from acetyiene burn
ers, which seem to have a spectrum
similar in effect to the real sunshine.
they grow almost riotously.
''Lilacs, for instance will be in bloom
at least ten days sooner under this
treatment than when they develop nat
urally or by the ordinary means of
forcing. as will also azaleas and rho
dodendrons. When putting the roots
into the ether the greatest care should
be taken not to leave them in the slim
ulating atmosphere more than thirty
six or forty eight hours, or the drug
will have the opposite effect. and in
stead Of being forced to mature they
will die as soon as removed"
