opening and closing the valves of it's

to Eat, was unknown to an unfortu-

years ago to establish scallop plan

He deposited several thousand seal

to breed, but when he looked for them
the next day all of them had fed.

By spontaneous combustion the coal

'But what objection has he to me?'
said Romeo, somewhat piqued. "Didn't

yes, dear, but he insists that YOU

And then and there Romeo decided
to cut out the balcony scene and make

ly the hero of an amusing incident
His wife being i'll, he went himself to
milk the goat, but the stubborn crea
ture would not let him come near it,
as it had always been accustomed to
have this operation performed by its
mistress. After many fruitless efforts,
he at length decided to put on his
wife's clothes. The experiment sue
ceeded admirably, but the man had
not time to doff his disguise before
the train approached, and the gate
keeper ran to his accustomed post.
His appearance produced quite SEN
satlon upon the officials of the pass
ing train. The case was reported and
an inquiry instituted, which, however,
resulted in his favor, as the railway
authorities granted the gatekeeper a
gratuity of 10 marks for his faithful
discharge of his duties.

.P|NEAPPLES AND
s|SAL ON LANAI

W. G. Irwin of this city returned
early in the week from a trip to La
mai and states that the conditions on
the island are unusually good In
speaking of the matter yesterday he
said:
There has been plenty Of rain on
Lanai and the island is one of the
most beautiful sights that I have ever
seen There are some places where
the wind is very severe, but the grass,
which was planted by a man named
Muirhead, under the directions Of ".
NJ. Gibson, has grown splendidly and
is doing great deal of good. In some
places it has grown in hummocks and
there are spaces between, where there
is sand. which is being blown away.
In the main, however, the island is
in fine condition.
There are thousands of acres of fine
pineapple and sisal land on Lanai. It
seems to me to be a very fine piece
Of property and one which is most de-
sirable.'

RUBBER SEEDS
BY THOUSANDS

The Nahiku Rubber Company has
received a shipment of 100000 seeds of
the Hevea rubber trees, with which
TO continue their work of planting at
their Maui nurseries. OF this number
195, 900 have been sent 10 Nahiku and
will be planted Immediately, as the
rubber seeds should be placed in the
ground as soon as it is possible after
they have been gathered. Five thou
sand of the number have been turned
over to James B. Castle, for planting
in Koolau, and 10000 have been kept
in this city, where they will be plant
ed for experimental purposes.
The proposed trip of F. T. P. Wa
terhouse to Singapore and Ceylon is
attracting a great deal of attention
from the rubber interests here, and
he is being asked continually for in
in regard TO his plans. While
the cost Of the trip is nearly as much
as If he should travel around the
world, the information which he will
pick up should be of such value to
those interested in the rubber planta-
tions on Maui and Hawaii that its cost
will be repaid several times over.
On the Malay peninsula, where Mr..
WaterhOuse will stop first, the Hevea
is being grown in very large quanti-
ties and while it is a slower growing
tree than the Ceara, which has been
planted here to a great extent, it is
uncertain as TO whether it will not
prove the more profitable.
In Ceylon, the Ceara is being grown
TO a greater extent than anywhere
else in the world, and full Information
in regard to the best methods of tap
ping these trees is necessary to the |
local men, if they expect to make large |
profits from the industry. AS it is !
known that the latex, or sap, from
which the rubber is obtained, will not |
flow well in the heat Of the day, the |
hours in which the trees can be tap
ped are of great interest to the local |
planters. The weather here being cool |
sr than that in most countries where |
rubber IS raised, it is hoped that the |
hours for tapping will be longer and /
better results can be obtained with a /
smaller amount of labor.

VOLCANO ROAD
IN BAD SHAPE
CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser0

From Wednesdays Advertiser)
The condition OF the thirteen miles
Of road between Glenwood and the Vol
cano House is a disgrace TO the en-
tire Territory, according TO a state
ment made yesterday by B. F. Dill
bingham. who has recently returned
from a trip TO Hilo. In speaking Of
the matter yesterday he said:
The road between Hilo and the Vol
cano House is in q disgraceful condi-
ton and something should be done 10
look after it The worst section. per-
haps. is that between Glenwood and
the volcano. but I believe that the
entire road should be put into first
class condition. The building Of q
road around the volcano for automo-
biIes is very good. but what use is
that when the road TO the volcano is
such that il is hardly safe 10 drive
on?
s'Of course. I am interested in the
railroad TO Glenwood, but for all that
I should like TO see a good road run
through from Hilo TO the volcano, on
which automobiles could travel easily.
They might compete with US, 10 be
sure. but it would make the resort
much more popular
THE road from Glenwood. as II Is
now. is full of ruts ana rocks and it
is enough to tire out anyone TO ride
over it. This road is one in which
the entire Territory. not this city or
Hilo. the Island of Hawaii or any
other part Of the Territory. has an
exclusive claim. We set forth the vol
cano as one of the chief attractions to
which we call the attention Of tourists
whom we wish TO come here. Why,
then. should it not be a public mat
ter which the Territory might take
up and assist?
7 believe that when the work on
the road around the volcano is COM
pleted. the prison labor being used
there should be turned over for WORK
IN the other road, and put through
then by the County Of Hawaii
doubt very much if the Board Of SUI
,ervisors of the Island of Hawaii could
10 anything which would be more ben
shcial TO their island than the making
