Splendors of Cafes.

The cafes and hotels of New York
are rivaling each other in the almost
oriental splendor with which they have
fitted up small rooms for dinner and
after theater parties. At one cafe near
Broadway the sides of one of these
rooms are composed entirely of mir
rors, after the French fashion. while
the ceiling is covered with green leaves
and grapes, punches of pink and purple
grapes OF glass. within which are cleo
trio lights. The effect is that of beau
tiful arbor. Another cafe has mirrors
rejecting small red lights throughout
the room, while the ceiling, also of
mirrors, is an exquisite imitation Of
moonlight, the effect Of which is OBJ

of the color and sheen of moonlight
seen through delicate tracery of faint
green leaves.-Exchange

tralian coal north to San Francisco,
it is the intention of Andrew Weir &
Co, if the business offers the neces-
sary inducements, to either alter some
of the steamers now in commission
to fit them as passenger carriers or
have some faster passenger steamers,
in keeping with the requirements of
modern travel, built for the service.
The Weir firm is a wealthy one, OPP
mostly in the Pacific, as we'll as about
two dozen sailing craft, and it has
been reported that the management
of the firm has been considering en-
tering the passenger trade for some
time past. With the withdrawal Of
the direct line from San Francisco,
formerly operated by the Oceanic
steamship Company, it is considered
that there is an opportunity to enter
the passenger carrying trade between
north Pacific ports and Australia, and,
if the present freight line enjoys the
business it is expected to do, the pas
senger service will probably follow.
The Foreric is now on her third
trip to Victoria. She came out to this
coast with building material from Ant
werp for San Francisco following the
earthquake disaster at that city, and
has since made two voyages to Aus
tralia, taking lumber to Sydney and
bringing return cargoes of coal. Cape.

PLORATION

Writer Would Like to Have
PaIama Structure
Examined.

Editor Advertiser: Several days age
your paper contained an article or
what might turn out to be a valuable
discovery. The article referred to some
masonry work in the ground at the
Paiama pumping station. Several men
from Honolulu visited the spot, each
made his guess at what it might be,
went back home, and there the matter
seems to- have ended.
One man says, Il think it is an old
swimming tank" The next in line
says, Il think it is an old tomb with
valuable information inside" Another,
Part of an old temple.a~ One says,
why, that was built before Captain
Cook discovered the islands,
With the above suggestions, a ques-
ton in science seems to be considered
settled.
These people having exposed their
thoughts, if my guess is next in order,
here it is: I think that the truth about
this swimming tank or tomb or tenn
pie. built before Captain Cook discov-
cred the islands, will remain a mystery
until it is properly examined, and that
may only require a few feet of digging.
1 visited the place the day on which
the article appeared in your paper, and
all who saw this mysterious thing at
that time could not deny that the work
was done by man. 1 visited the place
again yesterday, and found that the
walls which entered the hole had been
removed, and the digging seems to have
come to an end directly over what APP

tomb. or whatever else it might be. I
asked the engineer at the station what
was going to be done about the mat
ter, and he said that he thought they
would go right ahead and build an oil
tank in the hole, and thus forever seal
up the mystery.
OF course, to bore into this thing
may reveal nothing; yet who knows but
that it may reveal a great deal? Its
walls are built double, the outer parts
being about six or eight feet apart, |
with large rocks thrown in between.
The rocks forming the outer parts are
well surfaced and placed one upon the /
other, with queer kind of cement to
hold them together.
Whatever the whole thing is, it was
never formed by nature; nor is it the
work of anything else other than man;
and if man did it, he surely did not |
do it for nothing; then tsWhy did he
do it?'' All, that is the question:
question which no man can answer
and it never will be answered until
the thing is properly examined.
