THE SMALL FARM IN HAWAII

already note change for the better
even in the largest landed interests. to
ME it is hopeful sign of the times,
the encouraging of a desirable class OF
immigrants TO settle upon the planta-
tion lands among elevating environ
ments, to establish small farms, and
profitable ones upon the even limited
areas the plantations have wisely seen
fit to provide for them. For proof
look upon the once barren slopes of
Punchbowl.
However, it is not for these whom
we have suggestions to offer, they are
trained to hard work, long hours and
to till the soil, from youth up.
The small farmer l have in mind is
the man of moderate, sometimes very
moderate, means, perhaps, but with
good store of intelligence and perse-
verance; agriculturally inclined, per-
haps already trained, a resident, or
about to become one and take his
chances with US for better or for
worse. To him l would say: We have
land and opportunity for a hundred
thousand like you. We can produce
anything under the sun provided you
go at the matter right; but as else
where, you need some capital to get
plow- hold, little more enthusiasm to
hold your plowed land down, and still
ance to keep the thing going!
That the thing is possible under
these conditions, 1 submit the follow
ing as proof:
We import every year of agricultur-
al products from the United States

passage wherein he said that the Goals they use
are earthly, but kindle and burn like wooden Goals ;
and the first record we can put our fingers on, with
out doubt, and say here is evidence of the buying
and selling of coal for domestic use, is receipt
given by the Abbot of Peterborough, in England,
in the year $50, for twelve carloads of mineral
coal" This is just about the time the Danes made
bonfire of the whole of that noble abbey.
[ differentiate this transaction as evidence of
mineral coal being burned from thousands of earlier
references to COAL because wood, and not COAL was
always meant. Such use of the word is common,
all through the Scriptures for instance; and how
persistently the custom fingers in the language
of using the word coal where wood embers is meant!
One of the Eniemas of Science
TT can never be said that there has ever been
favored nation in the matter of coal; for of all
natures distributed materials coal is novel in the
wide spread of its deposits. Indeed its presence
in some places where we know it is, is one of the
enigmas which are the despair of the scientists to
solve For instance, we know that the formation
of coal required illimtabe sunshine huge tropical
forests of luxurious ferns, and of gum and resin
bearing trees, in the locality and under the
same conditions for ages and ages; so that their
PROSTATE bodies and shielded leaves might coaguate
and form the compost out of which coal would
under pressure, be made. Yet, recently Jackson in
his Arctic expedition found splendid bed of coal
nine hundred feet above the frozen ocean, in
cliff in Franz oseph-Land under pail of everlasting
North Pole, Other beds known to exist under
the eternal ice-cap of Greenland and in Labrador,
Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland all bordering on
the Arctic Circle. OF course 1t is not surprising to
find coal nearer the Tropics
But the fact is it is universal The great plain of
China is capped by plateau of thirty thousand
square miles of coal measures. in which seams
thirty feet thick perfectly horizontal for two
hundred miles. We have sixty thousand square
miles of Appalachian coal in North America alone.
1t exists in South America as far south as the
remotest point of the Straits of Magellan. Great
Britain the mother of coal mining and Belgium,
France, and Germany have abundant supplies.
Australia except in short intervals, is literally
scanned with coal from the Gulf of Carpenteria to
Bass Strait. Practically the whole island of
Borneo is covered with twenty-seven feet of coal
in five seams. There is coal in India too, and in

The sun to leaves, the leaves to peat, the peat
To coal the coal to flaming air again.
And so returns to other suns.
Apart from the vexed question of
the division of the profits, there is no
gainsaying that coal has played the
good fairy in mans elevation by re-
leasing him from the heavy bondage
of excessive toll, through the medium
of scientific mechanism. Yet thou
sands of years of civilization passed
before a single nation had found out
even so much as that coal would burn
into flame and warm man, and it
is little more than century since it
was first used to convert water into
steam and set machinery in motion
which would ease mems backs.

its combustibility. This was in a

watch him. There goes Billy now.

as she danced beside the huge black side of the steam
ship noted the instant of suspense just before the
pilot made his spring for the swaying ladder, and
in a few moments breathed sigh of relief as he
appeared the bridge of the Kaiser.
Looks easy, eh, sonny?" asked my companion.
well, if it does, let me tell you right now looks
is deceivin You how Billy jumped as she was
beginnin to rise, and then hustled to get up that
ladder before she swung back and ducked him. But
mind YOU those ladders amt grand staircase with
marble balustrades. They're the squirmin est,
wriggliest things you ever saw, and some of ems get
SO twisted that you can't go either up or down.
Dangerous Climb
THEN, let tell you, you're in for a bad time.
The ship rolls down, and you swing out and away
from her side until you strike the water and under
you go-holdin' on, though, all the time. Then she
swings back, and, bang! you flop against the side
of the ship like you dead fish. You gets the
breath knocked out of you, you get clip on the
get all cut up against her plates where you re hold1n
on to that ladder; but you don't let go. No, sir!
you hang right on as long as you have your wits;
for if YOU fall back there's thirty foot OF boat under
the water ready to suck you down, and if you come
up, there's propeller waitin for YOU ready to cut
you into ribbons before they get the steam shut off
But gettin to the deck amt the end of your
troubles by long shot. There's the passengers
waitin' for you, ten deep, sm1n like they was
your oldest friends and you wal<n en-

to politics. Why, blame me if they don't
think you ought to know all about their pri-
affairs, all the financial news, every e
bit of social gossip goin' on in these United e
States, and you, maybe, never seem land
for a week. So, the minute we strike the
deck we make start for the bridge, and
we don't stop to look for the companionway
neither. No. sirl We just take the outside ladders

The now celebrated Lehigh Valley
coal was discovered in 1891 by Philip
Ginter, and in 1903 the first FIVE arks,
each containing two hundred tons of
coal, were floated down through the
Lehigh and Delaware River to Phila-
delphia Three were wrecked, and the
coal of the other two could not be
made to burn, so it was thrown away
1t was not until 1872 that it was
accidentally discovered how to get
it to burn.

its use became general in the Provinces

The strip of the now State of Pennsylvania, one
