from Turkey that for four months the
sultan has had no power, but is made
to do as the parliament tells him. Now
however, the parliament has become
corrupt and conditions have again gone
back as before
suggested from the Yildiz Kiosk. A dog
is painted green and white, the Turkish
national cOlors, and set free.
"Then the people say the Armenians
have done this. The sultan allows
them to kill and once more the trouble
is started. And back of it all is the
fact that the riots are all committed
merely to fill the purse of some one
high in power, while We,' with a des-
pairing gesture, 'have to flee the cOun-
try Yes, of course good government is
promised, but it is never granted. Re-
member the young Turks are the
friends of the Armenians, because they
are necessary to them in the conduct
of their business, if they would prove
successful. When the Armenians can
not work then trade stands still.
ut NAV be that the sultan will abdi-
cate, but you will see that this will
make no difference. Before good gov
eminent can return the control must

this is done all who have left the coun-
try will return because business Will be

Honolulu RECOGNIZED.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, April "a
Honolulu will be the third city in the
United Staes to be equipped with one
of the new weather bureau kiosks, or
street observation stands. The first was
erected short time ago in Washing
ton, and a second in San Diego. Homo
lulu heard of the California city's be-
ing favored, and went after one for
herself with the result that Weather
Bureau Director Moore has advised
the local weather bureau office that
one is to be sent here, and asking that
a site be selected for it.
These kiosks are ornamental struc-
lures about four feet square and some
seven or eight feet high, in which a
full set of self recording meteorologi-
cal instruments are open to view, pro-
tected behind glass. They are designed
to be placed on some public thorough

NOVELTY IN THE AGRICULTURAL
FIELD, WHICH is UTILIZED
BY AMERICAN.
Giant Ferns Are Placed Over Volcano
Fire and When Taken Out Are
Greediy Eaten by Hogs.

HONOLULU, April (SpeciaD-
Feeding hogs on giant ferns which
have been previously cooked by the
heat from a volcano, is a novelty in the
agricultural field which it is safe to
say can be seen in but one place in
the whole world That place is in Ha-
wall and one man at least is MAX
ing a profitable business out of his
foresight and enterprise.
Peter Lee, an American, has a ranch
right on the edge of the great crater
of Kilauea, on the Island of Hawaii,
some 200 miles from Honolulu. All

ture spreads dense forests for many
miles down the easy slope of the

SO feet or more in the air, like great
feather busters. The great trunk or
stem of this fern, frequently foot or
more in diameter. is composed of a
pulpy, fibrous mass, enclosed in a.
hairy harder covering. Peter Lee dis
covered that this pulp contains a

Slow PAYS Are Few.

Secretary Henry Steinberg, of the
Merchants association, reports that
out of the 1878 recipients of notices
calling attention to unpaid bills, all
but 1872 have paid up, and have had
their names dropped from the slow
pay list. With the "a previously on
the LIST, there is now a total of 226
sloW-pay customers in the city, though
the names are dropped as the bills are
liquidated At the last meeting of the
association it was agreed that where
a man has three bills which he refuses
to pay, a committee from the associa-
ton shall wait upon the delinquent
employer and request that he be re-
placed by an honest man.

mo Turk may leave the country
without having first obtained special
permission This is seldom granted
and the Younger men resent it. For
this reason as we'll as many others
they are now revolving. They are
business men. Armenians are employ
ed by the younger Turks engaged in
business and that they may be sue
cessful their employers take measures
to properly protect them. Armenians
as a class are honest and willing to
work. but the Turks which might be
employed in their place will not. On
this account the Young Turk party
sees the necessity of putting an end to
the rioting if they would make business
conditions good.
ut is among the common people that
the riots first originate, and the Ar
menians retaliate in kind. AS there
are more Armenians they drive back
the mob. Then the soldiers come and
kill the Armenians for doing this. The
sultan and his pashas only protect them
because they are we'll paid. Members
of the Younger Turkish party desire
to stop this bribery which is cursing
the land. The pashas want bribery and
are willing to pay for it. The soldiers
who have not been near the pashas
to be bribed are the ones who are now
supporting the young Turks. These
soldiers are being paid by the young
Turks to fight for them against the
government. Those soldiers in Con-
stantinople have been bribed by the
party in power.

VOLCANO COOKS

! large amount Of starches and sugars
and that by st5aming or cooking
these are rendered soft, and are greed
lily eaten by the hogs.
It was some time before the pres
ent method of cooking the ferns sug-
gested itself, but when it did the prob
! lem was solved. In many places about
the volcano, sometimes several miles
from the active central pit, cracks
have been formed in the hardened lava
surface which covers the whole noun
tain doubtless through the contraction
of the material in cooling, and from
these assures heat and steam in var
ious degrees of intensity perpetually
escape. To construct a gridiron over
one of these heat cracks. and to pile
upon it the fern trunks, cut into cord
wood lengths, was the acme of sim
plicity. but for effectiveness could
scarcely be improved upon. In the
course of a few days, dependent on the
amount of heat of any particular crack
the steam has thoroughly sOftened and
cooked the ferns, and all that remains
to do is to split each stem with an ak,
when the swine will devOur them vo-
raciously.
DIR. z. V. Wilcox director of the Ha-
wall experiment station, believes that
Hawaifs ferns may come to be of con-
siderable economic Importance as a

value in this line in some parts of the

paratively scanty, and if the food
