Street RAILWAYS in China.

The problem of train traffic In
Chinese city presents peculiar diff
culties, in view of the crowded con-
dition of the streets and the lack OF
familiarity of the people with time
saving devices generally. The con-
struction of new tramway system in
Shanghai has been practically COM
pleted, although the current will be
turned on at first only in sections
where the ineXperience of the Chinese
drivers and conductors will be less
likely to have bad effects. Upward
of 90 miles of tracks have been laid
and the tram routes have been divided
into II sections. over which the pas
senger is entitled to travel-the first
class fare for one section being only
21a Cents. Each car is divided into
two compartments, not on color ba-
sis. but rated according to fares paid.

LIHUE LADIES'
LITERARY CLUB

LIHUE. October 10.-A significant
indication of intelligence and quality
on the part of Kauai is to be found
in the Mokihana Club which now enters
upon its fourth year of usefulness. 1t
is Literary and Social Club of the
ladies of Lihue, meeting once a month
and devoting itself to the serious study
of some of the principal countries of
the world. In successive years it has
studied Russia, Japan, China and India,
and this year it will turn its attention
to Palestine, with intent to cover as
thoroughly as possible the geography,
history, language and literature, togeth-
cient and modern.
The opening meeting of the year was
held at the Lihue Hall, October Z. The
president, Mrs. A. D. Hills, being in the
chair, and Mrs S. w. Wilcox acting as
hostess. Mrs. J. M. Lydgate in charge
of the subject for the day, "The Geog-
raphy of Palestine" presented the fol-
lowing program:

The papers were all intelligent and
thoughtful and indicated a wide range
of reading and careful discrimination,
and there was a general expression or
surprise that so unpromising a subject
should prove so interesting.
A large relief map in cement, made
by J. NJ. Lydgate, called forth a good
deal of favorable comment and proved
very illuminating in describing the
physical character of the country.
In addition to this, there were several
other special maps, illustrating particu

SURF UPsETs BOAT
WITH PASSENGERS

LIHUE, Kauai, October 10.-Two of
the passengers and a boat crew got an
unexpected ducking when attempting to
land at Niihau last Sunday. The surf
was running rather high, in fact so
rough that the members of registration
board at first refused to 60 ashore. Two
returning lady passengers were anxious
to get home and went into the first boat,
the captain, however, first providing
them with life preservers. One of them,
being Hawaiian, was as much at home
in the water as out of it and discarded
the belt, while Mrs. Rennie kept the
one provided for her. All went well
until the boat arrived at the point
where it should be swung around the
end of the reef to be brought into shell
tered water. Here the steering oar
snapped in two and left the boat at the
mercy of the breakers which immediate
~ capsized the boat. Seeing that the
wife of the head luna was in danger,
some of the men on the beach swan
out and rescued her; the other lady
and the crew were amply able to take
care of themselves. Luckily the acct
dent had no worse result than short
excitement and the loss of few odds
