HAWAIIAN FIREWORKS.
Burning Brands of Wood Thrown From
Top of a Cliff.

In accordance with Hawaiian tradition,
the famous native fireworks were held
on the north side OF the island of Kauai
on the night of July %. These firework s
are set off only once in ten years and are
intended to propitiate the gods of the
air, sky and waters. The present dis
play is the first held since the annexation
of the islands, and attracted widespread
attention, special steamers carrying
crowds to the spectacle.
The pyrotechnical display took place at
the top of . cliff 5000 feet high. and con-
sisted of throwing lighted pieces of wood
into space. These brands are especially
prepared and are thrown by the hundred
over the edge of the cliff. The wood used
was the hau, which had been carefully
saved for long time, so as to be dry
and light
Only a gentle breeze is required to sus-
tain the blazing pieces of wood, so that
they descend gradually TO the beach be-
low. There is a curve in the range of
the cliff, so that currents of air some
times carry the blazing tirebrands in diff
ferent directions before they complete
their descent. Frequently the blazing
wood is shot straight outward from the
edge of the cliff from where the brand
was thrown by the native operator; then
q current of air catches the brand and
defects it to the right or left, and as the
flaming torch descends slowly another
current may drive it back against the
face of the cliff.
The weird gyrations performed by the
aerial torches are believed by the super
stitious natives to be due to supernatural
agency, and they watch with awe the
erratic descent of the countless numbers
of lighted brands, a spectacle that is
brilliant aud Kaleidoscope.
On the present occasion some Of the
younger generation of natives departed
from the faith of their fathers by open
ly declaring that the blazing pieces of
wood were tied to birds that had been
caught before in anticipation of the dis
play

These Explanations,

Senator Foraker, at Il dinner in Wash
ington, quoted with Il laugh an eXtrava-
CANT and incredible statement that he
had read in a magazine. When someone
attempted to explain. lie said:
The thing is prepostcrious. and all the
explanations i'll the world won't alter its
prcposterousness. These cXpainers.
They are never at a loss. are they? They
remind me OF old james Scarlet OF
Rainsboro.
There was nothing which James Scar
lett of Rainsboro could not explain
One winter night he was reading Il
volume of the Seaside Library to his
family gathered about the tireside. With
his spectacles on his nose he droned
along like this;
'Gwendolen de We're Hastings low

gernon Manncring took her slim white
hands in his, and crushed her to him in

PEANUT CULTURE.
Superiority of the Mexicans in Growing
the Nut.

the Nut.
Where do the peanuts in Mexico come
from! This is n question that few per-
sons can answer. Every one has noticed
that the Mexican peanuts are of SUI
perlor variety and that they are very
cheap, yet few persons know that the
haclendados in OaXaca make the raisinr
of peanuts one of their PRINCIPAL side
ilnes, and every year ship hundreds of
bushels Of them TO the caDital and thn
other cities in the republic.
In Mexico, as in the United States.
the peanut is one of the most popuIar
knickknacks. Every day dozens of neo-
nut vendors may be seen around the
Alameda and other places where people
gather. 1T will be found that the pea
nuts sold by most of these vendors are
very large and perfectly roasted 1t is
very seldom that Il peanut is found that
has been burned while roasting. II will
also be noticed that for a Mexican cent
nearly as many peanuts can be bought
as is given in the United States for )
cents gold.
The climate and soil of the state of
Oaxaca are especially adapted to the
growth of peanuts. There is scarcely n
plantation in the state that does not cIll-
tivdte the vine. When the nuts have ma
tured they are gathered and shipped
without having been roasted. On their
arrival here they are taken TO the very
common form of Mexican oven. The
oven set apart for the roasting of pea
nuts has large circular piece of fine
netting i'll the interior. This netting is
SO arranged that the ends can be closed
making it look like great corn popper
Several bushels of peanuts are placed in
this net and then turned slowly over a
charcoal fire. This process of roasting
Is most successful one, as every nut is
thoroughly roasted if the work is prop
ery done, and there is little chance for
the peanuts to be burned.
After roasting, the peanuts are sold to
the vendors. The vendors buy them for
little money and even with the large
quantity that is given when they are
bought at retail they make large profit
The profuseness of their growth makes
tn very cheap on the plantations
whe' they are raised, and as they are
gel ally shipped in carload lots. the
tra ,portation charges do not add great
de to their cost. The roasting process
is also conducted with very little ex-
peLse.
Americans when they first come to
Mexico seldom buy peanuts. 1t is some
thing new to them to stop on the street
and buy q couple of cents worth of them
and have them delivered to your pocket
direct without wrapping of any kind, yet
when the ice is once broken and they get
used to the way they are handled in
Mexico, they generally continue buying
them, as the process of roasting leaves
all the flavor i'll the kernels. and they
taste much better than the peanuts do
that are generally sold in the United
States, where the method of roasting so
often takes away the richness of their

NEW POLAR EXPEDITION READY.
Comrades of Baldwin-Zeigler Expedition
Seek New Northern Continent.

The expedition now being fitted out By
Capt. Einar Mikkelsen of Denmark and
Ernest De V. Leffingwell of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago will seek a new CONT
nent in the polar sea. Mr. Leflingwell
and Capt. Mikkelsen were comrades on
the Baldwin-Zeigler expedition and at
that time conceived the idea of eXplor
ing the hitherto unknown Beaufort sea.
On their return from the Baldwin-Zeig
Ter trip they Immediately set about rails
ing funds for the expedition.
Capt. Mikkelsen went to England,
where he succeeded i'll raising portion
of the necessary funds, the Royal Geo
graphical society of Great Britain con-
tributing $1,000 and authoriz 'ng the use
of the name of the society in connection
with the enterprise. In the meantime
Mr.. Letfingweli, working among scientific
men and others interested, succeeded in
getting together several thousand dol
lars in this country.
Tie two young men will set out for
the frozen north shortly and expect
to add new continent or at most an
archipelago to the maps of the world.
A new continent in the arctic regions,
the existence of which has been suspect
ed for more than fifty years. will be the
goal of the expedition which will be
sent out under the ausDices of the ROya
Geographical society ri England, the Ma
tional Geographical society of America
and the American Geographical society.

interested in the unknown regions north

FOOD AND STUDY.


"All through my high school course
and first year in college" writes an
ambitious young man, Il struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond Of
cakes and fried things. My system
got into state of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any degree
of satisfaction. l tried different med
cines and food preparations but did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.
Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and l sampled it. I
had to do something, SO just buckled
down TO rigid observance of the Iii
rections on the package, and in less
than no time began to feel better. In
few weeks my strength was re-
stored, my weight had increased,
had clearer head and felt better in
every particular. My work was SIM
ply sport to what it was formerly.
MY sisters health was badly run
down and she had become SO nervous
that she could not attend TO her mu-
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
l had. Then my brother, Frank, who
is ia the postoffce department at Wash
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods, cakes and
all that, joined the Grape Nuts army.
l showed him what ii was and could
do and from broken-down condition
he has developed into a hearty and eff
ficent man.
Besides these l could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men
tally and physically by the use Of this
