rived in 1920, but it was not until three years later that the Hawaiian chiefs allowed the missionaries to put together the material they had brought with them and erect this house of old New England design in this faraway tropical country.
 When the missionaries arrived Hon. olulu had just been made the cap ital of Lilihos kingdom. It was a village of grass huts along Nuuanu river, struggling over an arid plain. It was defended by an adobe fort at the harbor's edge. The kings adobe and grass palace was not far away. The frame house which the mission aries owned was far superior to any other building in Honolulu, even the kings palace.
 The chiefs were suspicious of allow. ing the missionaries to erect any per manent buildings. especially one that so surpassed even the kings resi- dence. There were not wanting white men in the islands also. who did not hesitate to fan the native suspicion in the minds of the chiefs. But event. ually permission was given, and in 1923 the house was erected. The out. skirts of the village surrounded the house then. but now 1t is only few hundred yards from the capitol and judiciary buildings. Here it has re. mained ever since.
 For 40 years it was the center of the work of the American board in the islands. For many more years than that it was the center of mission ary activity in Hawaii The needs of the mission resulted in the erection of other buildings near by. But this re- mained the missionary home.
 It was occupied as a residence by one or another of the missionary fam. flies until about dozen years ago. Since then it has fallen upon evil times. It has recently been occupied by Chinese, who piled their launder. ing within its walls. smoked opium during their hours of ease and estab- fishing little joss shrines with burning punk sticks before them in some of the rooms. Frame buildings. occu- pied as Chinese and Japanese stores. were built between the house and the street. The place and its surround. ings have been growing shabbier and shabbier for several years.
 The Hawaiian Mission Children's society. an organization to which all of the descendants of the mission. aries are eligible. has secured the property. and proposes to restore it as nearly as possible to its original ap- pearance. This ought not to be difi. cult. as 1t has been changed very little since it was originally erected. The Chinese stores around it have been torn down, and the place will be maintained as a monument to the fathers and mothers in Israel who lived and labored under its roof in the early days of Hawaii.

ausiness and the Home.

If business man works all day, putting the whole of his energies into whatever he is doing. he ought to be able to switch of his thoughts and turn them on to something whereon they may pasture pleasantly. To some men. home. wife and children are the playground. For others there is some special hobby which is their salva- ton saving them from that iterant and reiterant monotony that belongs to business of most kinds. A great doctor once said that every man should have hobby-and every wom- an. too7 But women have more in- ward resources than men. Men are often restless and hate sitting still, unless they are fosd of reading. wom- en do not object to being quiet and passing a tranquil evening at home. That is. of course. if their hearts are in their homes.-I.ondon Truth.

are "copped' or ''coppered.' both meaning arrested in the slang of crime doers.
 K. B.-What is the standard that is used to determine whether thing is hot or cold??
 A.-There is no such standard. We use hot and "cold" simply as com- parisons between things of different degrees of heat. We have no ex- perience with actual cold. We would all be dead long before we could reach it, for absence of heat is about 400 degrees below zero. B. Ms the Jinrikasha Jap anese invention and is it used outside of Japan!
 A.-The invention was claimed ir 1869 by an American Baptist mis- lsionary in Japan According to an- other account the vehicle was in- vented by an English resident of Yokohama. It has been much im- proved upon by the Japanese. It is now used in many parts of the world, including India, parts of South Af- rica, some of the Chinese treaty ports, etc.

 | A.-The word is comparatively new, dating from the introduction of
 fast steamships. Cavitation is
 phenomenon in water in which the space immediately in the rear of the
 propeilor-blade is rendered more or
 less empty on account of the rapid cleavage of the water by the pr0pel-
 Tor blade and the relatively slow ac- tion of water in closing in behind the moving blade. This action breaks
 the continuity of the stream of wa
 ter in which the propellor is acting, and renders it impossible for the
 propellor to develop upon the water the full effective thrust which 1t
 would otherwise be capable of de- veloping.
