He said the Governors reasons are
not sound. He declared that the bur

exceedingly excessive and oppressive,
and that he believed prosperity would
be best secured by relieving some OF
them.

the unfairness of income taxes, but

philosophic basis. To live for them is

parenthood And we cannot live for
them in the truset sense until we be-
come familiar with their needs. 1t is
in the endeavor to meet those needs
in the largest way possible that we
find our own characters richly recon-

parenthood. We practically become
what we are by what we have done or
left undone, what we are willing or
unwilling to do for our children. The
principle is universal, and should find
it's extension and application among
children at all times and in all places.

HAPPENED AT BAD TIME,
Minister'S Fall Significant In View Of
Previous Words.


In a small church in one of the min.
ing towns of Pennsylvania was a pull
pit both antique and unique. It was
about the size and shape of a flour
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall. The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town,
q man of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday. While
preaching he bent forward and shout
cd out with great force the words of
his text:
"The righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from it's
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
cation. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
Brethren, I am not hurt, and l
don't mind the fall much, but I do
hate the connection"

Artificial Vegetables.

Prof.. dArsonval exhibited before
the Academy of Sciences at Paris re-
Gently artificial vegetables which he
produced by the methods of Prof. Le-
due OF the Nantes Medical College.
The method is to form tiny seeds from
one part sulphate of copper and two
parts glucose, which are then depos-
tied In gelatine bouillon, to which
is added little ferro-cyanide of potas-
SUM and sea salt. The seed developes
into plants resembling seaweed and

have the same properties as the plants
they resemble, being Influenced SINH

AIuminum-Copper Allows.

The British Association of Mechan-
1cal Engineers has committee whose
business is research concerning the
properties of various alloys, which
are now coming so rapidly into use.
A recent report deals with alloys of
aluminium and copper. Various ex-
perfments have shown that such al
Toys are cratic in behavior, especially
under tests for "yield-point" and at
high temperatures. Copper alleged
with per cent of aluminium was
shown in some of the experiments to
give disastrous results when en-
ployed for stay-bolts in locomotives.
On the contrary, these alloys show
good results in other ways. 1t has been
shown that copper alleged with from
l to 10 per cent of aluminium becomes
practically 1ncorrodible in sea-water.
But this does not hold for tank-water.

Where the Money! Is.

More than 40 per cent. of the popu-

in less than a dozen eastern states.
These states are known as manufac-
turing states. In the banks of one,
New York state, is contained nearly
40 per cent. Of the money of the coun-
try. New York city alone has in it's
banks rs per cent. of the money in cir
culation. This has been made posi-
BILE by the conditions that enable the
large cities to draw trade from all Sec
tons Of the country. In fact, great
cities must have support of a large
territory. But one of the great evils

This system takes from the rural dis

And Build Breakwater With the
Foaming Molten Lava at Hawaii.

Volcanoes have ever been consid-
cred sources of tremendous destruct-
i've force, uncomfortable in their &C.
ton and of no useful purpose to man.
The unusual and daring proposition
is now made to make at least one
active volcano perform constructive
work of positive commercial value.
The idea seems to have been adapted
from the familiar one of drawing
molten iron from furnace and con-
ducting it along the earthen floor
through shallow open trenches into
nodded spaces, where it cools and
becomes the pig iron of trade

harbor facilities are insufficient to
meet the demands of present day com.
MERGE, and in order to provide suit
able shelter, great breakwaters must
be constructed at large cost. Con-
gress has been petitioned to make the
necessary appropriation, but so far
has not advanced beyond an order
for preliminary survey. The peo-
pie of Hilo evidently realize that Con-
gress is long way of and, unless &C.
ton is secured soon, propose to tap
an active volcano on the island and
make it furnish the material and do
the work of construction at the same
time. If the plan works a great sea
wall will have been built, of greater
extent and weight than any ever be-
fore constructed by human skill.
The idea is to construct a big
trench from Mount Kilaueau' to the
shore and then tunnel into the pit of
