That warm-hearted readers may
appreciate, as far as possible at this
distance, conditions that amaze the
onlooker and call forth his deepest
sympathy, append extracts from the
most recent letter of William T. Ellis,
q trustworthy and capable CORE,
spondent of the Christian Herald, on
the spot. Mr.. Ellis writes after a
tour through camp of 10000 starv-
ing refugees, and later will tell of
other greater camps where the con-
iitions are worse than those he por-
trays:
Little more than an hour ago l
saw two women, presumably mother
and grandmother, wailing over the
tiny coffin of child that had been
part of grim famine's daily toll.
'sIt is all so horrible, so overpow-
ing, so haunting, so heartrending,
that one cannot write of it in an or
derby fashion. 1t seems as If only
the repeated cry of Help! Help!

come trooping before my vision.
There was the man, too weak TO stand
erect, who bore on his back, as older
brothers carry babies in China, his
blind old mother, the mere skin-and-
bone framework of a woman. They
wanted help and pleaded for 1t in the
thin whine of the utterly miserable
and dared not give them so much
as copper!
''Or that mother, hard-eyed and
rigid, who stood against a wall with
her six children gathered about her
tattered skirts, staring out uncaring
on company of living refugees who
are more melancholy sight than the
thousands of ancient graves among
which they are encamped. They had
been sed; one portion of thin. watery
rice porridge for them all, and now
they must wait in the cold for an
other twenty-four hours before they
can be fed again-and even then,
some stronger ones may push them
aside and steal their turn at the
meagre relief.
Strange incongruities flash into
ones mind as he walks about among
these $4,000 refugees. AS I passed
this morning an old. old woman, COW

PASSING OF AN HISTORIC INN.
Famous Star and Garter Nearly 200
Years Old,

London, June 21.-The Star and
Garter hotel, one of the most historic
and celebrated houses In England, is
to be sold at public auction early in
August. The hostelry, which crowns
the summit Of Richmond Hill, and
commands a world-famous view, has
been the scene Of many notable gath
erings. An inn was first established d
on the site in 1898. A fire destroyed
the older portions of the hotel some
80 or 40 years ago. The banqueting
house of the existing building was
erected in 1854.
The old Star and Garter was ia
nous, among other things, for its
theatrical associations. Garrick made
the inn rendezvous for his company
and many noted stars. among them
Edmund Kean, Mrs. Jordan and Mrs
Siddons, made it the regular place
to spend their summer holidays. They
wrote smart things in its visiting book,
and held many merry parties there.
The visiting book, like so many other
relics of historic interest, is now in
the possession of an American col

BRIEF SKETCH OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

was considered a great delicacy and
not to be wasted on common people.
Mr.. Ellis, one of the early mission
aries, records the fact that the natives
in his day, 1925, regarded the flesh of
the dog as sweeter than that of the
pig. He saw nearly 200 dogs cooked
at one time, and reported a certain
royal feast where twice that number
were baked and devoured.
There are no snakes on the islands
or noxious insects. The flea and mos
quito have been imported. For the
latter there is no name in the native
language. 1t will readily be seen that
there must be few fish in the waters
of volcanic islands, but those found
in the sea are beautifully colored and
of great variety. The shark abounds
and In earlier years was considered
sacred, sacrifices being offered to him,
and Enclosures were made along the
sea shore in which the shark was
maintained, fed and worshipped.
The islands were discovered by Cap
tain Cook in 1878. He was murdered
the following year upon his return
because Of indignities visited upon
the people by himself and his men.
He and other explorers, among
whom were Vancouver and Brough-
ton, whose names are familiar in con-
nection with British Columbia and
the magnificent harbor on the east
coast of Corea, found the natives ro-
bust, tall, many of them measuring
five feet nine inches, with regular
features, expansive forehead, teeth
that were large and white. and coun-
tenances that were mild and friendly
with kindly eyes.
The women were inclined to be
stout more than one queen weighing
over 200 pounds. The power to re-
sist disease among them was small.
Diseases, conveyed ty sailors, swept
through the islands and more than
once threatened to extermlnate the
islanders.

The Hawaiian group, 200 miles

miles southeast of Yokohoma, consists
of 20 islands, including the coral islets,
all of the main group being Of vol
canic origin. Honolulu is the port of
Oahu; Hilo Of Hawaii and Kahului,

ic action, which includes Japan, the
Philippines, Polynesia and the north

cal, but salubrious to high degree.
Swept by trade winds and washed by
cool oceanic currents flowing south

The food supply is rather meager as

ais being Indigenous to the soil. The
sweet potato flourishes with so va
rieties, and the banana is abundant,
including some 20 varieties. In addi-
tion to this we find the breadfruit,
the cocoanut, the yam and the taro.

1t is said that 27 breadfruit trees,

to support 10 or 12 people during
eight months of the year.

HALF BILLION GALLONS
Each Day Half Billion Gallons of
Water is Pumped From the
Depths of the Mines of
Pennsylvania.

/ over a half billion GALLONS of wa
ter are pumped out of the anthracite
coal mines of Pennsylvania every da,
in the year The exact average fol
1905 was 663 100000 gallons day
Nearly a thousand powerful engines
delivering from mine bottom to sur
face. half a million gallons of water
a minute are required. Mines may be
shut down and coal productions sus-
pended. but the water flows on for
ever. The cost of removing it is one
of the big items of expense that make
up the price of anthracite.
While the Heidelberg colliery of
the Lehigh valley is getting out one
ton of coal, 1t must remove forty tons
of water from the mines. The Seneca
colliery mines extend for several hun
dred feet under the wide expanse of
the Susquehanna river. and to pre-
vent the food of the mines here. $500
gallons of water must be pumped
from a depth Of 500 feet every min
ute of every day in the year. This
means twenty-five tons of water to be
removed to every ton of coal mined
Stin more difficult are the con-
ditions at other mines. So far down
in the earth that one has to travel a
quarter of a mile on an incline rail-
way to reach it. a pumping plant has
been installed at Hazefton which re-
moves 100000 gallons of water
every day. During the flood seasons.
in addition to the pumps, huge tanks
are used to bail out the mines. Sixty
times every hour these 2,OOO-gallon
buckets travel up full and down
empty.
Sometimes the work is not finished
when the water is brought to the
surface. At the Hazelton shaft col
liery, a wooden canal three and one
half miles long had to be built to
carry the water out of the neighbor-
hood. AS the mines go deeper, the
cost of water removal. like that of
timber and ventilation, becomes
greater and greater.
