--7--------------ss --------------- WEALTH IN PRICKLY PEAR.
Texas Ranchmen Gan Change Cactl

Texas Ranchmen Can Change Cactus
 Into Denatured Alcohol.
 In portions of West Texas and over a great deal of South and Southwest Texas the prickly pear has long been regarded as an. unmitigated nuisance, although during seasons of drouth the ranches have found it a very good cattle food after the spines are remov- ed by burning.
 Since the impetus given the making of denatured alcohol, it is claimed that there is a bonanza to be reaped from these cactus lands of Texas as ma terial for manufacturing alcohol, and at several points in West Texas arr engagements are being made to soon begin work with portable stills, which will be moved around in the cactus re- zion as the supply diminishes. owners of this cactus land are figuring on some big revenues when the alcohol making begins, and it is an experl- ment that is being watched with much interest throughout the state,
 The feeding of this prickly pear to stock has also been given a new im- petus in consequence of some eXperi- ments that have recently been made and the boost given the idea by the federal authorities at Washington. As a result of careful, Experiments 1t has been shown that a ration producing between 1A and 1h pounds of butter a day costs about 13 cents, when pears, rice, bran and cottonseed meal were fed
 Although the prickly pear is low in nutritive value from the chemical stand- point, the steer feeding experiment shows also that there is abundant justification for the practices in vogue of preparing cattle for market upon prickly pear and cottonseed meal. A gain of II pounds day at an ex- pense of three cents pound compares favorably with the feeding results obtained from standard feeds
 Two experiments have recently been undertaken, both conducted under the immediate supervision of ranchmen in Southern Texas in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington. The first test was under taken by Alexander Sinclair, of San Antonio. The second was conducted by T. A. Coleman upon his ranch in En- cinal.
 There are two species of the prickly pear recognized in that portion of Texas where the plant fiourishes. One

The best makers of Hereforshire and Devonshire, in their own interests, look forward to the pro- vision of test by the Legislature, preventing adulteration in English ci- der and insuring that the imported article should be as wholesome and pure as their own.
 There is remarkable testimony to the beneficial effect produced by cider on the general health. Cider drinkers in Normandy and the West of Eng land enjoy an almost complete immun- ity from goat, rheumatism, stone and other diseases due to an excess 9f uric acid in the blood fact which has not escaped the notice of medical specia- lists. Dr. Demont, of Caen, has made a searching inquiry into the subject. He found that in Normandy, among persons who drank cider habitually, the disease of stone was hardly known, while in Burgundy, where the usual tipple was wine, it was excessively frequent. Again, Dr. Alexander Haig, in his work on uric acid, comes to the conclusion that good cider, made from sound fruit, and and free from impuri- ties, tends to lower uric acidity. To which may be added that if one could see hale and hearty men, unacquaint- ed with doctors bills, and looking as ruddy as the ripe fruit of their or chards, they are to be found in the cider shires, where the juice of Eng fish apples is the "wine of the coun- trv '-T nndn,, C+op5ard

CONNECTICUT LEADS AGAIN

More Patents in Proportion to Popula-
 tion Granted Here Than Anywhere
 Else.
 The commissioner of patents at Washington has transmitted to con- gress his annual report of the work ings of the office under him. There were 55,471 applications made during the year, in addition to applications for the registration of trademarks, of which there were S,493. There were 31,S06 patents granted during the year and 159 reissues; 1O,56S tradesmarks were registered, 709 labels and 556 prints
 Connecticut leads in the number of patents granted as compared with the poulatfon of the state. There were S45 regular patents issued to citizens of the state, or one to every. 1,074 persons.
 This is the first time in several years that Connecticut has had the lead, the District of Columbia having first. This year it is second.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
(continued from Eleventh Page.)

(Continued from Eleventh Page) will increase. The Vanderbilt issue of $50,00OOOO had been completely absorb cd soon after the opening of business. About $1EO,n00,O00, both railroad and industrial, have been so far offered. This general and rather severe break was traceable to no specific news; it seemed merely to be continuance of last weeks movement.
 Heavy selling of United States Steel common and the influence of steady foreign selling gave the traders a good lead.
 The bear raiding, which continued at intervals, was credited to Keene. He was supposed to have been responsi- ble for the sale of 10000 Southern Pa cafc.
 The largest buying orders during the morning were executed by well known operators, some of them usually iden- tified with the bear side of the market. They did not appear to be covering shorts, and the opinion was rather freely expressed that they were being used to mislead the street.
 The bear element made capital of the Washington report that President Roosevelt wished to give the Interstate Commerce commission more power.
 Lacking new material, the argu- ments for despondency which were in vogue last week were employed again yesterday-the railway note issues, the weaking of the bank position, and the impending withdrawal of S12,OOO,00O public deposits from the banks. A sharp advance in rates for short-time loans was yesterdays response to the last-named circumstances.
 That New York Central should sell down to below 127 as a per cant. stock, when, it was about 170 several years ago as a 5 per cent, was com mented upon.
 Very few persons were talking yes terday about picking up high-prieed stocks as investments because they Hooked cheap" Rather, the discus sion ran on the relative cheapness of railroad notes.
 Sixty and ninety-day loans were ad- vanced to 405 1-2 per cent. All the banks quoted 3 1-2 per cent. for all dates, as against f 1-2 per cent. last week for the short terms. The whole market was higher and lenders that were willing to do business on 5 per cent basis last week put up their price ta 1-2 per cent, yesterday.

Under the Naval or Marine Hospital
rules in vogue here now, it is said to
be very likely that the big feet OF
battleships and cruisers coming here
early next year will pay their visit in
quarantine. This would mean none OF
the men allowed ashore and officers
only when necessary. That is the
rule adopted with the Raleigh yester-
day, and with all transport and vari-
GUS other vessels.
Even when the port is clean, as II
has been now for a long time, the rules
continue for sixty days If there is an
odd case of dangerous disease. If 1t
is in vogue when the fleet comes, Ho-
nolulu may see but little of the officers
and men aboard, and the latter may
not have a chance to see the city
The rules are said to come from
Washington, and to be for the salts
faction of federal health authorities az
San Francisco. In this connection II

Governor Frear has taken steps to-

acting Governor, carried out.
Tomorrow a surveyor from the Sur
vey Office will go to Hawaii and look

who also goes to Hawaii on official
business, will take the opportunity OF
looking into the matter of having the
convicts with which it is proposed to
build the road cared for while the
work progresses.
Governor Frear in speaking about
the matter this morning appeared to
be quite favorable to the project.
'The plan is" he said, ito have the
work done by prison labor. The trans
portation would be furnished free by
the steamship company, and the main
tenance of the thirty or more men
necessary for the work would be met
by the County of Hawaii, so that the
Territory would really be at no great
er outlay than in working the men
here in Honolulu. 1t isd't very big

that it would cost about $4,000 by con-

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS SAYS DAM CRITICISMS
ARE INSINCERE.

Superintendent Holloway, of the
Board of Public Works, evidently be-
lieves that silence is golden for he is
saying very little notwithstanding the
fact that there has been a great deal Of
talk by contractors and others against
himself personally and his department
generally.
There has been so much said and
printed" said he this morning when
asked why he does not defend himself,
that it has about reached the stage
where l think it will have more of the
opposite effect than what was intended.
1t doesn't take great deal of insight
to see that such one-sided statements
day after day are not sincere, but are
inspired by some motive other than
the good of the public. There is likely

found in the pump which it was stated
had been left there by the workmen
who made the machine. The piece is a
block of Norway pine about six inches
square by an inch and half to an
inch and three-quarters thick, and
without doubt a piece from the end OF
one of the slaves used in making the
wooden conduit How it got im the
pump is a question, but Holloway does
not believe that it was drawn through

WHERE IS

THE CELTIC CHIEF, DUE HERE
FROM HAMBURG, NOW BEING
REINSURED.

The British ship Celtic Chief, Cap
tain Jones, is now out 12S days for Ho-
nolulu from Hamburg, and is being re-
insured in San Francisco. Reinsur-
ance is quoted at five per cent. The
scare is supposed to be a result of the
Tillie E. Starbuck disaster and per-
haps indicates that the Starbuck was
lost in storm which shippers fear
also struck the Celtic Chief.
The Starbuck was out from New
York nearly 14O days before she was
heard from as lost, and there was nc
special alarm over her. Details as to
the cause of her loss have not been re-
ceived.

SHERIFF HEARS OF SPEEDING
CASE YESTERDAY AND SENDS
OUT NOTICES.

Sheriff Iaukea has sent out warn
ing to certain automobile drivers to
the effect that when next they are
caught speeding furiously they will
be placed under arrest.
Yesterday on the Waikiki road one
man drove his machine right at a
crowd of thirty or forty people pass
ing across the road to get from the
Seaside Hotel to the electric car and
there was some quick jumping on the
part of men and women to save their
lives.
The police secured the number OF
the auto car and the man was among
the first to receive cautionary notice
today.
For some reason the police consider
the feelings of the reckless autoist and
are not giving out his name. If he
kills anybody or if he is caught repeat
ing his daredevil tactics he will, pre-.
sumably, be exposed.
