MONSTER LUAU
OF STEvEOOREs

The Hui Kokua anne ManaWaIea 0
ma Poola, or the Longshoremen's Mu-
tual Benefit Society, celebrated the
first anniversary Of the society's for
nation yesterday. by a monster luau
on the Matson Company's wharf shed.
The members, marched from Motley
Hall, on Kukui street, to the scene of
the luau. headed by the county band.

with white buttons, and black trousers.

are j. Kaulua, Jim Kupihea, Ben Ka-
luna and J.. K. Kapono, The veteran

band and the Hawaiian Glee Club.
There was speaking by Frank Har-
vey, Chas. Hustace, Frank Archer,
Charles Bon. L. L. McCandless and
John C. Lane. The speakers We're in
troduced by Jesse Uluihi.
The scene in the hall during the luau
was a brilliant one, the gay gowns of
the ladies and children and the pro-
fusion of leis worn, together with the
bright red shirts of the men, making a
mass of color. The members of the
society assisted by a corps of lady
assistants, waited on the guests.
The extent of the luau may be gath
cred from the fact that there was con-
sqmed: 1900 Iaulaus, 600 pounds of ka-

pounds of poi, 1000 nullet, IS dozen of

and which went far to make the luau
the success it was.

CABLELINES
NOT STRAIGHT

The island of Celebes, nearly half
of which is still almost unknown, has
now been connected by cable with the
neighboring island of Borneo and also
with the American island of Guam, far
to the north. 1t has thus been brought
into close touch with the rest OF the
world, for it is joined to all parts of
the Eastern Hemisphere through Bor-
neo and to the Western Hemisphere
through Guam and San Francisco

just as railroad engineers run lines
of levels before they finally locate rail-

With piano wire for sounding lines
the cable engineer determines the
levels of the ocean floor and secures
samples of the bottom so that he may
decide where it is best to lay the cable.
Interesting discoveries were made
about the ocean floor between Celebes
and Guam, but they mean more to
biologists than to the 1aity.

THE CHINESE AND THE

Or better yet, held by the officers as
pertaining to the corpus deficit" Then
1 felt a little chilly as it occurred to
me that / might have been in the
crowd too, and somebody else, perhaps
a celestial, standing grinning on the
corner. However, my courage revived
as I remembered, in comfortable sort
of way, that the morals or the law of
the thing makes it safe anyway. Queer
isn't it? that it is immoral and sim
full violation of law for Chinaman
to win or lose a few hapaumis at his
little games of chance, while it is
rather praiseworthy for me to pocket
handful of hapahas as the result of
my venture at my little game. Maybe
it's on account of the names. 'Che-fa,
or "fan-tan," or "pakapio,'' or craps
don't sound as aristocratic and proper
as poker and bridge" Then be-
sides, it has become absolutely respect

strike player at the club who has
silly scruples about law, morals and
things and so, out of an always cour-
teous Difference, they just play for the
fun of it. That's awfully stupid, but
it has to come with the FUN. On the
whole I am rather inclined to be salts

seen on the maps, but they are any,
thing but straight as they lie on the
ocean floor. DR.. klotZ of Canada, said
in a recent lecture that the great
Pacific cable, 5000 miles long, between
Vancouver and New Zealand, was
time and again DETECTED from a
straight line between the island sta
tions at which ii touched in order to
avoid towering submarine mountains
or craters or ground that was hard
or otherwise undesirable as a resting
place for the cable.
The samples of ground which cable
engineers most desire TO bring up from
the bottom are the soft ooZes or muds
that are found only in the deep seas,
far from the continents, and which
are composed largely of the pulveriz-
ed skeletons of marine animals. Gables
last longest when they repose in these
soft beds. They are not found every
where in the deep ocean, but if they
are not too far away the cable route
will be DETECTED to cross them.
A great deal that has been learned
about the ocean floors in recent years
has been incidental to the laying of
cables The United States steamer
Nero was sent to pick a route for a
cable across the Pacific, and while en-
gagged in the work she found a depth
of 5,269 fathoms, or six miles, the
greatest depth in the ocean of which
we have knowledge.
Thousands of miles of cable are laid
at depths of three to four miles below
the surface, and because at such
depths the pressure of the water is
about four tons to the square inch
the cable sinks very slowly to its rest
ing place. The line paid out over the
stern of the vessel drops instantly out
of sight, but the vessel is often twen-
ty miles away before the cable finally
rests on the bottom.
At these great depths the water is
very cold. The many hundreds of
soundings taken during the cable sur
veys have established the fact that
there is very little differences between
the temperature of the deepest parts
of the oceans. Their waters are uni
formly only a few degrees above the
freezing point.
1t is found also that the bottom Of
the deep parts of the seas is more IA
vorable for the longevity of cable lines
than the harder ground of the shall
lower waters nearer the coasts. This
is fortunate, for it is less expensive
to haul up and repair a cable that
needs to be raised only from compare
lively shallow waters.
