The slipper is made OF rubber, with

the slipper the wearer can prolong

compound may be used.-Wasamg

The Sphere.

To look at him one would not think
he would be able to carry heavy bur-
dens. But the weight he can carry
is surprising. You have a trunk
you can scarcely move, for instance.
You send for cargador. lie gets 1t
upon his back, high up on the shout
ders, and he marches Off with 1t as
easily as though il were a plaything.
A life dedicated to carrying heavy
burdens has maua this work easy for
him. A slightly built Mexican will
carry over 800 pounds on his shout
ders for short distances.
Until lately almost everything In
Mexico City and everywhere else
throughout the republic was carried
upon the backs of cargardors. If
you wante. to move your household
furniture you hired a certain num-
Der of cargadors. For house NOV
ing they generally work in pairs,
each pair having hand truck, which
they pick up and carry, when it is
loaded, for it has no wheels. In
Mexico City there are still hundreds
of these hand trucks, though one
may now find plenty of carts, wagons
and heavy mOvin,, trucks. There
are also regular transfer companies.
But all Of these are of recent impor-
tation. Mexican Herald

ARCTIC LIFE ON THE EQUATOR.
Experience Of French Scientific
Party in Ecuador.

Farty in Ecuador.
A scientific expedition which has
spent six years in the wilds Of the
Andes has just returned to France,
and Colonel Bourg eois, its chief, has
given some remarkable details Of its
experiences. 1t was organized to
make new set OF observations from
which to verify the length Of de-
gree on the equator-the unit upon
which the French standard Of meas
urement and the metric system are
based.
The site chosen for the work was
the neighborhocd Of Quito, Ecuador.
1t was so high up in the mountains
that, although in the very center OF
the torrid zone, the men lived under
Arctic conditions. The party consist
ed of ten commissioned officers and
twenty-seven noncommiSsioned ot-
ficers. With three exceptions the en-
tire party spent the entire six years
in the work. One of these who gave
up was Ccmmandant Massenet. who
preceded Colonel Bourgeois at the
mead OF the eNpeulllOH.
Loneliness was enc of the things
the men had to fight hardest against.
They lived to a large extent amid
fields Of snow and ice. The country
below them was often invisible from
clouds hanging about the mountains.
Yet their situation differed from that
Of Arctic explorers in this respect.
that they knew thousands of people
We're within comparatively easy reach.
The temptation at times to descend
to the seacOast cities was therefore,
almost irresistible.
Of course the men did not spend
the whole time in the mountains. This
would have been almost impossible
because they had not merely the rigor
of the cold to contend against, but
also the enervating effects of the rare
fed atmosphere of the mountains. The
average height at which they lived
and worked was 1900 feet above sea
level. Cooking was difficult at that
elevation. and the proper feeding OF
| the men was one of the most difficult
problems Another practical difficulty
was securing servants and laborers.
The natives consented to go into the
hills only at high pay and on urgent
persuasion, and they deserted at the
least provccation. The winters were
| especially trying. Bands of wolves
| wandered about the camp and devour-
ed the refuse thrown out, even to old
| leather straps and the wcrn-out sad"
dies Of mules and horses.
Notwithstanding the obstacles sew
| enty-fcur geCdetic stat;~~- were erect
| ed. A chain of geodetic and astrono-
| mical observations covering the entire
six years was secured. including the
| establishment of the meridian OF

Skunk Empties Theatre.

A skunk wandered into the auditor
ium of the Hanover Park summer
theatre last night. a woman screamed
and the eight hundred persons in the
audience leaped from their seats. Wo-
men joined men in clamboring over a
high railing.
Policeman NJ. J. Kelly. unfamiliar
with skunks, attempted to catch the
animal, but retreated and standing at
safe distance, opened fire with his
revolver. He emptied it, but none of
the shots took effect.
Frank McNabb, one Of the specta-
tors, cornered the skunk and killed
it with club. Then he went home
by a circuitous route. The manage
ment announced to vacant chairs that
the performance was called off.-Mer-

PACIFIC mail GO.
Wants F|SHhARKET
Offers To Pay 100000
To Government For
The Property

The Pacific Mail, Steamship Com
any wants to buy the old Fishmarket
property that lies between Alakea and
Richards streets and Allen and Hale
kauwila streets. Yesterday, through
A. l.. C. Atkinson. the company made
an offer to the Territorial Govern
ment of 100000 for the property.
The proposal 10 purchase the prop
erty was made to Superintendent OF
Public Works Holloway and was by
him referred to Governor Frear The
Governor has not yet considered the
matter carefully enough to be able to
say what he will do, but there is more
than strong probability that the
offer OF the Pacific Mail will be ac-
cepted. or at least, that a counter
proposition will be made to II In re-.
turn.
Yesterday afternoon Secretary Mott
Smith and A. l.. G. Atkinson went
down and looked the fishmarket over
and later Mr.. Mott-Smith went again
and went over the property with Su.
perintendent Holloway.
Although It is recognized that The
ishmarket is valuable property. the
Territorial Government appears to
have been at loss for some years as
TO what disposition to make of It. Al
present 1t is practically unused, except
as a lounging place for certain class
of citizens who are too strong to work,
although 1t is used to a limited extent
as warehouse, 1t is probable that
II the Pacific Mail acquires the prop.
Uty that concern will utilize 1t as a
repair and machine shop for Its Trans.
Pacific steamships.

see men with the knowledge OF Eng

rlany County districts where the serv-
ices of interpreters can not be had,
ard the white lawyers who do not I'M

with judges who do not understand

each other and the consequence is that
they glare at each other and with the
assistance of their gestures they try
to manage and dispose of their cases
as best as they can.
1.-THE proposition of starting this So
called Judge and sheriff normal school
Is good one, and the young people
Who have signified their willingness
to become future district magistrates
and sheriffs will be well fitted In their
positions The old Hawaiian judges
should be supplanted by the young
ones. The Hawaiian lawyers should
know the English language now, and
those who don't should keep out OF
the courts
From the practical point of view
every. Hawaiian lawyer should read
the American law books, that is II he
wants to improve himself. The Ha-

are found In American and English
