EARTHQUAKE TRAVELS
THE OLD ROUTE OF RUIN

Studied with maps and accounts of
the more recent of the great earthquake
disasters of Italy, it is seen that in
the present catastrophe the disturbance
reached the surface on the northern
border, close to Swiss territory. Domo-
dossolo is among the Alps, and the
mountain range seems to have been the
route of the earthquake. 1t passed to
the southwark, following the Apennines.
There is twenty minutes difference be-
tween the time of the shocks reported
in upper and lower Italy.
In Calabria, which has been laid
waste again and again by such dis
turbanees, this earthquake first touched
the surface with its full effect. Lofty
signal posts of disaster marked it's way,
for it struck with full force at the
extinct volcano of San Giovanni, spread
It's devastation across the Strait or
Messina to Sicily and rolled up another
score of death and ruin all about the
slopes of Mount Etna, reducing to ruins
the ancient and famous city of Messina
and tumbling the buildings of Catania,
fifty nine miles farther south, only to
afterward with great tidal wave.
In the Sicilian Sea.
Stromboli, one of the active volcanoes
of the Lipari group, to the north of
Sicily, has ever been large factor in
seismic disturbances in this region, bur
the present earthquake appears to have
come from other sources, beginning far
to the north and extending far to the
south of the Calabrian and Northern
Sicilian region, which the fires of the
island peak in the Mediterranean have
shaken to ruins so many times.
School children identify Italy by it's
resemblance in geographical contour to

as their best conception of the conn.

and lower calf of the boot, on the
eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
The Strait of Messina, connecting the
Mediterranean with the Ionian Sea, IS

TO the arrival Of the Chiyo, and the
shrek OF the whistles. announcing that
she has been sighted, viii doubtless be
the signal for a general scramble to.
ward the waterfront.
The Chiyo is said to surpass the
Tenyo in many particulars. As the Jap
anese here have always pointed to the
latter ship with a good deal of pride.
they will doubtless be keenly interested
in the efforts Of the new vessel to sur
pass her record.
Three Ships In Today.
There viii be but little leisure for
the customs and quarantine officials TO-
day. At least two and probably three
ships viii arrive in the course of the
day.
The Alameda is due at daybreak, ana
the Siberia viii probably show up at
the same time, or little later. Though
not scheduled to arrive until tomor-
row, it is generally believed that the
big Chiyo Maru, sistership to the Tenyo,
win reach here some time today
This being the maiden trip of the
Chiyo, it is expected that Captain
Greene will try the ship out bit, with
the view to finding just what she can
accomplish in the way Of speed on
long continued trip.
If the Siberia should arrive early in
the morning, she may depart at 3
0 clock in the afternoon, otherwise she
is not likely TO leave until toward even
ing or tomorrow morning.
TIE Alameda will bring the mail.
which will probably be distributed soon
after clock.
Shipping Notes.
The wireless operator at Kahuka
Point heard both the Chiyo Maru and
the Enterprise sending messages yes
terday morning. He was unable to get
into communication with either ship,
however, owing to the heavy static
discharges in the air.
At o clock this morning the trans
port Thomas viii proceed on her way
toward the Orient. The ship was to
have sailed yesterday, but remained IN
port an extra day, as the task of IN
loading the property of the Fifth Cav
airy had not been completed.
The change in the day of arrival of
the steamer Khan, from Kauai, has
met with the general approval of bus
mess men Of Honolulu Last week the
dav was changed 10 Saturday, with
the result that mail Is handled with
greater facility and if is no longer nee
essary to open many places of bust
ness on Sunday morning for the hand

MARINE
BUFFALO WILL De IN
HARbOR TWO WEEKS

The auxiliary cruiser Buffalo will
probably sail for San Francisco some
time within the next two weeks. Def
mite orders have not been issued, but
it is known that the ship must be at
Magdalena Bay in time for the arrival
of the Pacific feet on its return from
the South American cruise.
The Buffalo viii begin taking on coal
Monday morning. The men viii then
be given daily shore leave until the
time comes TO get under way for the
mainland
At San Francisco the Buffalo viii be
cleaned up and gotten into readiness
for her cruise southwark At Magda-
lena she viii wait for the Pacific fleet,
and viii then indulge in target practice
with the other ships. From Magdalena
the Buffalo will accompany the armored
cruisers TO San Francisco.
Dirigo's Pilikia.
The n. Y. Herald 5 Washington cor,

the following dispatch concerning the
ship Dirigo, which was en- route to Ho-
nolulu:
Carrying 1853 tons of coal for the
United States Navy and bound fo- Ho.
nolulu, the American merchant ship
Dirigo has been obliged to put into
Rio de Janeiro leaking badly and total
ly unseaworthy. The government win
either have to sell her cargo and aban-
don the ship or share in the expense
of repairing her. The Bureau Of Equip
ment of the Navy Department will be
seriously inconvenience by the non
arrival of the cargo. and will have to
make immediate arrangements for an
other shipment.
Equipped as full rugged sailing ship,
the Dirigo left Lambert s Point, Balti-
more, on October % with her cargo.
The same ship sailed from Baltimore in
October. 1906. with 4513 tons of naval
coal and later went ashore at the north
end of Alcatraz Island. near San Fran
cisco. The government was put to the
expense of helping save the ship.
Coming on the heels of many similar
disasters with chartered GOLFERS officials
of the Navy Department believe the
loss today indicates that the time has
come for some action looking to facili-
tate transportation of coal for war ves-
sells
May Race Westward.
That, on leaving here, Captain Greene
of the new Togo Kisen Kaisha Chiyo
Maru may try for record between this
port and San Francisco, is the belief
of the local agents of the company.
The Tenyo Marn, sistership to the big
ocean greyhound which Will arrive to-
day, smashed the-Honolulu to-San Fran
cisco record on her maiden trip, and it
is thought altogether likely that the
commander of the Chiyo may endeavor
to go that craft one better.

The Wei. kept Wardrobe.

The popular belief is that summer
clothes do not demand the care ano
constant attention which winter
clothes need to keep them in good con-
dition.
A laundering is all that is considered
necessary to make a thin dress pres
entable
There are many ways to improve on
the summer dress in the washing of
it.
For instance organdy and lawn frocks
should be soaked for twenty minutes
in gallon of warm water in which
tablespoonful of borax has been
dissolved.
Rust stains may be removed from
white clothes by applying lemon juice
and salt on the spot.
Ink spots which cannot be washed
out with water may be vanquished
with sweet milk.
silk stockings should be soaked for
a half hour in warm suds softened
with ammonia, gently squeeze and
rinsed between the hands. blued with
ultramarine blue. and dried without
using an iron.
Mud stains may be sponged from
white cloth when it is inconvenient
to wash the whole suit. with a little
ammonia, and soapy water.
