first book of hymns printed in the Ha'
waiian Islands on the Mission Press,

nv Yesterday by Rev. W. ID. Nester-
Welt who is gathering data on carry
printing here for story. The book
IS verv small one, and the fact that
II has turtle-shen covers Is reason
enonoh for its excellent state of pres
ervation.
But there was another specimen OF
early printing that was even more III
teresting. This consisted Of few
paees of lessons printed in the ia
waiian language, and these were tht
orioinal pages of the very first set OF
,ri9+ipo ever done in the Hawaiian

then called. This was on January Z
1922. on the Mission press, which wa
the first one ever set up IN Hawai-
and consequently the first ever set ~

sedouin's Answer Typical OF the Peo-
pie OF the East.

In the far east, when men converse
together, an evasion Is equal TO an
answer. Riding down to Egypt over
the old caravan route from jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and party
pitched their tents outside a Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws of hospitality which
the people SO rellgiously maintain.
Mr. Duncan, writing in Harper's Mag
azine, says that he was obliged TO turn
aside their reproaches-an avoid the
abominable quarters which we're still
being offered. Turning to his guide,
he said: 1.-THE man must be diverted
Ask him II the world is round or
fiat" The reply was pure philoso-
piers Jewel Of the east. IF the world
Is fiat" came the response, after
heavy bordering, Il am content; II 1t
is round, it is by Gods WISDOM" And
the men softly applauded, In their
pleasure forgetting their injury, for
getting everything except the joyous
native craft of words.

vsgarIes Of the Plumb Line.

One Of the curious things that men
OF science have discovered in their
lnnumerable efforts TO measure and
map the earth with the least possible
error, is the fact that there are places
where the direction Of plumb line
Is not vertical. Irregularities Of den
sity IN the crust OF the globe may pro-
duce this phenomenon.
A remarkable instance has been
found IN the island OF Porto Rico.
where the deviation from the vertical
