Vast Dimensions of the Sun as Cce..
pared With the World.
A dime held at arms length from
the eye will much more than cover the
entire disk Of the sun. If il were
pla led at the exact point of coincidence
and it's diameter and distance from the
eye accurately measured. it might be
used as means of determining the
suns diameter. his distance being
known. The foremost philosophers of
long ago would have been appalled, at
the true statement of both the suns
distance and it's size. =
The suns diameter is about $4,000
miles, 1t is bewildering to be assured
that it would take 100000 earths t.
equal the sun in volume. If the in
terror Of that truly gigantic globe were
hollow and the earth were placed at its
center with the moon revolving about
1t at its usual mean distance of nearly
100000 miles. there would still exist a
vacuity between the moon and the in
900 miles. This is perhaps the most
graphic and impressive illustration pos
sible of the suns colossal bulk. We
must note. however. that the density
Of the sun is only about one-quartel
that of the earth. so that it would
weigh only as much as 100000 earths
In very round numbers the suns
weight may be stated at two octillion
tons. which If expressed IN figures
would require almost as many ciphers

the pygmean dimensions Of the earth

YOUR TRUE coMMUTER.
He Must Be by Nature Man Who
Takes to Routine.

axes 20 nouttnS.
Your true commuter must be by ma
ture Il man who takes to routine.
There are some who have committed
for quarter century or more and yet
have not acquired the trick and never
will. They are the ones who write let
ters to the newspapers, airing their
grievances against the heartless rail-
3 road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had commuta-
ton thrust upon them. But many real
ly enjoy the life of the commuter.
They like the clocklke regularity.
They like the pleasant social aspect of
the early morning trip to town, the
neighbOrly interest in one anothers af-
fairs, the ample time for reading the
newspapers, which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged to get
an early start. They look forward to
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side to keep the smoke out of their
eyes. Some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning.
In time all who work in New York
will come to it. Meanwhile, for the
man with family it appears to be in
many ways a happy solution of a diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly it is more
wholesome existence physically, but
mentally and spiritually it has the de-
fects of it's virtues when pursued all
the year round The commuter devotes
the best part of the day to one narrow
corner of the city. The rest Of his
time not consumed on the train is in
| still more narrowing atmosphere of the
suburbs. He neither gets all the way
; into the life of the city nor clean out
into the country. SO his view of things
has neither the perspective of robust
rurality nor the sophisticatiOn of a man
in the city and of it. His return tC
nature is only halfway. His urbanity
is suburbanity. Much of our literature
art and especially criticisms show the
faint of the commuters point of view

SAVE EVERY
PINEAPPLE DROP

There Is in the city an expert in the
matter of conservation of what is the
ordinary taste of pineapples, in the
canning process, who has arranged with
the pineapple kings and princes of this
and the other islands of the group to
adopt his patent method for making
from the parings of the pines, that do
not find their way into the cans for ex-
port, pineapple cider, syrup, sherbet,
vinegar or what-not. BY his process
never drop that may be squeezed from
op,or butt or peel will be lost, but all
will find a market
Chemist Duckwall, asked to come to
this Territory by men of capital who
have the business advancement of the
islands at heart, has already been in
consultation with the pineapple men,
James d. Dole, and L. G. Kellogg of
Wahiawa, and it is practically arranged
that there viii, hereafter, be no waste
to the pineapple in their cannery.
The rough outer portions, which are
pared to prepare the pine for canning,
will be preserved for pressing, Clarity
ing and conversion into various by
products calculated to attract the trade
and palate. III
The Duckwall appliance will be made
use of by all pineapple growers on this
island and the business of the by-prod-
net will soon be a substantial enterprise
in itself. A refreshing pine cider is
sure to be in great demand here as well
as on the mainland, and vinegar, candy.
and perhaps a few( surprises, will be
produced.
Mr.. Kellogg remarked last evening
that all pineapple growers on this island
were to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities afforded by Duckwall's proc
ess and that not only was there a |
big business in the proposition, but
Hawaii would become the "candy kid"

{. A. FRASER
BY ALAMEDA

Among the arrivals yesterday by
the Alameda was E. A. Fraser. for
a number of years manager of the
Hawaii Railway at Mahukona.
Mr.. Fraser left Hawaii two years
ago last January. He will be CRATE
fully remembered by very many for
his activity during the awful days
following the San Francisco earth
quake and fire, in sending word here
to distracted persons of the safety of
friends and relatives there. He was
the representative of Hawaii in San
Francisco in the days Immediately fol-.
lowing the disaster and until James
F. Morgan got there. The work he
did received the 0ery hearty approvas
and commentator of all who were in
anywise acquaint ed with what was
done and the difficulties under which
1t was done.
Mr.. Fraser later went as the repre-
sentative of the Territorial Board Of
immigration to Europe. and was in
strumental in securing the great num-
Der of Portuguese and Spaniards who
came to these islands a year ago.
Mr.. Fraser is now living with his
wife and family at Burlingame, south
of San Francisco, and is in the whole
sale lumber business in connection
with Charles Nelson & Co.
Mr.. Fraser expects to return to San
Francisco by the Alameda.
II am glad to be back in Hawaii"
said Mr.. Fraser. ''if only for short

Il believe that financial conditions
are better in Hawaii than they are in
any other part of America. Still it
seems to me they ought to be, for you
are harvesting. I am told, by far the
largest crop of sugar the islands ever
had, and are marketing it, not at a
higher price, but at a higher margin
IF profit, than any other crop that
was ever raised here"

COAST PORTUGUESE
READY To COME

NJ. A. Silva, who is representing the
Hawaiian employers of labor on the
Coast, has writes that he is meeting
with success in his work of interesting
members of the California Portuguese
colony in Hawaii and inducingt them to
come here as laborers. He states that
there are from fifty to one hundred
Portuguese ready to make the trip,
while in addition to these there are a
number of young men quite willing to
come to Honolulu at someone else's
expense but who decline to discuss the
probability of their going to work on
a plantation. These young men will
be left where they are.
In confirmation of the reports being
sent by Mr.. Silva, the officials of the
Portuguese societies here are receiving
many letters of inquiry concerning Ha-
wall and the prospects here from the
California Portuguese, the majority of
whom are members of the hawaiian
societies.

HOPE YET FOR THE
SUBSIDY MEASURE

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Represent-
ative Kahn said today that although
the house had refused to attach to the
postal appropriation bill an amend
ment providing a mail ship subsidy for
San Francisco and other lines, he had
confidence that the GalliRger measure
would become a part of the bill in the
senate, upon submission to conference,
and would become a law. He said in
part:
81 have talked with nearly every
member of the postoffice committee and
find that they are almost unanimously
in favor of the measure. 1 feel quite
sure that if the subsidy clause is at
tached to the postal bill in the senate
the house conferees will favor it's re-
tention.
"A hrge number of San Francisco
interests have wired me deploring the
failure of the house to act on this
matter, but 1 desire to assure them that

The work is being delayed somewhat
