Next to the interest on the city
debt, the public schools will carr
the largest appropriation In the
New York City budget next year.
The New York Board of Education
has asked for s34,740,O0O for next
year and will get 1t. This sum is
exclusive OF the funds for school
buildings that are provided for in
the bond issue. The two points
that should stick in. the memory OF
orr people are the fact that New
York City first gives the public
chools what they ask, and, secondly,
provides for the buildings through
bond issues. Here in Hawaii with
our boosted purity OF civilization,
we let the schools take what they
can get, and our wise men get up
in meeting to announce that school
houses are not income-bearing pro-
jects and therefore not entitled to q
place in the bond issues.

to charge the city considerable
sum for carrying police and fire
alarm wires through the streets of
Honolulu.
or course we have been told that
the present telephone corporation is
different from the other telephone
corporation. though the name is the
same. But even corporations some
times forget, and when dealing with
cities take all they can get. And
II the people do not look out for
their own, corporations sometimes
say II is not their fault, the while
making large noise about being
held up.
Now that 1t is settled so far as all
corporations using the streets are
concerned, we sincerely hope the
ideal telephone promised will be
forthcoming in record time.

AMERICAS GREAT ASTRONOMER.
By Vaughn McCaughey.)

The recent death OF one OF
Americas greatest scholars, Prof.
Simon Newcomb, attracts attention
to the wide scope and diversified in
terests of his life. Although for
fifty years the problems of the ma
chinery of the celestial universe
formed the core around which all
his other achievements centered, he
also made numerous excursions be-
yond the bounds of astronomy.
Economics, physics, literature, poll
tics and psychic phenomena were
prominent among the numerous
fields in which this man of genius
exercised his powers.
A worker of untiring energy. after
he had gotten fairly started in his
scientific career. continuous flow
Of medals, prizes, degrees and hon
orary memberships in scientific soci.
cites came for his reception.
During his long professional ca
reer duty and inclination alike
brought him into relation with
nearly every phase of Astronomical
activity - popular articles. text
books, design and use of instruments
researches into history, and the or.
ganization OF scientific societies.
Prof. Newcomb contributed vas,
number of notes on almost every
conceivable topic in astronomy to
the scientific press. His departure
leaves a great gap in the band OF
astronomers.

EXTRA SESSION and
Legislators.

Let those able to anord IL refuse
to accept their pay as legislators, II
the Governor decides that special
session OF our Territorial Lcgisla-
ture is needed.
No doubt the suggestion that the
members contribute their salaries
or ask no pay for special session
is born of very good intention to
save the public's money.
1t is well to look at the practical
side of II, however.
More than one member of the Leg
islature cannot afford to come to
this city at his own expense and re-
main here for ten days, which would
probably be the shortest time In
which the work of special session
could be covered. After the confab
was once started, 1t is highly prob
able that the session would consume
a month.
II these members are not paid by
the Territory in the regular way, II
means that those who cannot afford
to pay their own expenses will be
dependent on some kind friend or
the contribution of individual or
individuals having something to
gain from the legislation to be
passed upon.
1t will mean that the Legislator
who cannot personally finance his
stay will have the financial string
of friend tied to his vote. The
Legislator will not be the free
agent that he should be.
AS this paper understands 1t, one
of the proposed revisions of the Or
ganic Act will be an increase in the
salaries OF Legislators. This is not
done in order to allow Senators and
Representatives to declare divi
dend on their salaries, but rather tt
give them enough money to at least
meet personal expenses. Since W.
recognize that Legislators SHOULD
have more pay why do we ask then
to work for nothing?
What the need OF the extra sssior
OF the Legislature may be, the pub
lie can better determine when thu
Governor makes straightforward
statement of what he has up hi
sleeve. II there is need OF 1t, tn,
Territory can well AFFORD the full
price.

filth as seed bed, good seed planted

During the growing season il was cul-

result was an eye opener. Not only
did this handling result in a coed
growth of stalks which were well ear
ed, but so mellow was the surface
kept that the crop was able to with
stand protracted dry weather in much
better shape than richer and heavier

was just a matter of cultivation of the
soil which unlocked its possibilities, i'll

badly depleted. The same cultivation,
coupled with manure and clover, would
accomplish even better results. These
three things ought to be tried on thou
sands of farms through the cotton,

CHEAP FLOWING.

A north Iowa gasoline engine manu-
factory the largest of its kind in the
world. some little time ago established
an experimental farm on which during
the season closing all of the blowing.
disking and seeding operations have
been done with traction engines In
the matter of comparative crop yields
the figures have not been fully worked
out. but in the blowing operations ii
was found that the cost in labor, oil
etc. of blowing an acre was 30 cents.
While the large areas on which steam
or gasoline tractors would give most
effective and economical results are in
a way incompatible with the wide
spread tendency toward n division of
these large areas and the following of
more intensive type Of tillage. the
fact remains that there are still a
good many sections where the small
tractor might be used with decided
advantage as a substitute for horses
in blowing and other farming opera
lions. A feature of the above machine
blowing that ought to be mentioned is
that it was done at a depth of from
seven to eight inches, which is nearly
twice the depth of ordinary horse
blowing.

NEEDED INCUBATION.

An Illinois farmer who sowed four
teen acres to alfalfa last year had an
experience which might be a help to
some Of his fellows He sowed the
seed in the spring and did not take
the precaution to inoculate the soil
with bacteria laden soil from an old
alfalfa fed or sweet clover patch
The field was complete failure eX
cept for a quarter of an acre, on which
the alfalfa grew luXuriantly He was
at a loss to understand this, but after
doing considerable thinking he remem,
bered that some thirty-five years be-
fore his father had attempted to grow
some alfalfa then caller lucerne) on
this particular spot While the stand
was not very good. enough Of it de
yeloped to inoculate the soil with the
necessary bacterial life. 1t is more
than likely that many a failure with
alfalfa is traceable TO paying no atten-
ton to the matter of soil incubation.

stick. Two or three Of such sheets
will suffice for a good sized baking.
and there is no time lost scraping
pans to regrease for second lot. The
fiat sides make it easier to slip a
knife under and slip the cake from the

buttered papers can be used on the

How to Wash Windows.

Windows should never be washed
while the sun shines directly on them.
for this is sure to cause streaks to ap-
pear on them. OF course the glass
may be wiped dry as soon as it is
washed, but this is twice the work
since one must rub until the glass is
perfectly dry. This is not necessary
if the sun is not shining on the win
dows. for it does not add anything to
the appearance Of the windows when
finished. If the glass is badly soled
and it IS necessary TO apply good
deal of water 10 remove the dust and
stains, ii is better to wash with plenty
of water and then let the glass dry
and then sponge the window off again
This will remove all the streaks left
by the first washing. Should the glass
become too dry before you return to
finish the drying it may he sponged
over again with the sponge wrung dry
out of hot water. Always let the win
dow stand for few minutes after
washing it before drying it and it will
dry much easier and in but half the
time.

Sunday editions, the uncolored sec

easily replaced at no cost.

How to Clean JewelrY.

Small articles of jewelry. especially
the silver kind, will be difficult to clean
in the hands of an inexperienced per-
son, since dull silver is more difficult
to restore to its former beauty than
gold The best method is to immerse
the brooch. ring or pin in a solution
of cyanide of potash, procurable at any
drug store. Do not let the liquid touch
the fingers. Let remain in the liquid
for two minutes, remove and wash in
hot soapsuds This will be sufficient
to restore the brilliancy of the metal
The best method Of cleaning chain
bracelets or necklaces of gold is to
make a paste Of ammonia and whiting
and rub this into the tiny links with
soft brush, afterward washing the
pieces in soft water and polishing with
a chamOis.

He found that the long taproots of
the turnip had penetrated the hard soil

decayed the field was very effectively

circulation of air and moisture Al
