appearing at the hall without shoes
and with barely enough clothing to
cover their bodies.
The dinner was served in Grand

over the faces of many of the young
sters, as they did not know about
this part of the program and had
saved no room. However. they all
managed TO get outside of a good
sized portion.
The Christmas tree was in Com

affair and the gifts were distributed
by regulation Santa Claus. Each
family was given large box of food

INCREASED LIGHT

Electricians and scientists are doing

in the office of the Hawaiian Electric
Company the emciency of the Horo-

even from a Tungsten lamp at least
100 per cent. The shade brings all the
good out of an electric lamp of any
description.
1t is made on the principle of a
prism with an arrangement of the an
giles to suit the lamp in use. Tests
made in a darkened room showed an
increase of illumination that seemed
Incredible and assurance was given that
not whit more energy was used in
the lamp. Originally these prism lamps,
invented jointly by Frenchman and
a Greek, cost the consumer twenty
eight dollars, and the inventors thought
there would be small profit in their
sale. The demand was not large, but
the project appealed to men of greater
knowledge and broader experience in
the manufacture of commodities, so the
inventors were taken in hand. Ma
ehinery for the cheaper manufacture
of the articles followed. One improve
ment followed another until today tn,

PLENTY OF KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT PACIFIC RACES

Editor Advertiser: After reading
Mr.. W. A. Bryan's address at Mohonk
on the Pacific Scientific Institution and
its aims, one would perhaps be led to
believe with that gentleman chow lit
tie we really know today of the phys
zeal, mental, moral, linguistic, social,
religious, esthetie and Industrial char
aeteristics of the people of the Pa
eifie.'' But is such really the casea
ia so little really known about Poly
nesia and it's inhabitants! As mat
ter of fact, is it not quite the con-
trary? For throughout the whole of
the nineteenth century no part of the
globe has been more thoroughly explored
and written about than Polynesia. Bot
anists, biologists, ethnologists, philolo-
gists and many ether kinds of 'istsO
from the leading nations of the world
have wandered up and down the
breadth of the great Pacific exploring
the isles of the South and studvi, o
the Polynesian lands and races from
every point of view, and wheresoever
situated, whether in Hawaii or New
Zealand, or in Easter Island or Samoa.
Here in Hawaii the number of works
published about this group alone
amounts to quite a photography in it,
self. The same is the case in New
Zealand. where the government has
published a photography relating tt
that country. Or take the small Sa
moan group. There are hundreds OF
books. pamphlets and newspaper arti
eles treating of that tiny speck ur
the Pacific. Let anyone look ovel

W|RSCHULE|T IS
DUE ON CHINA
Defaulting Witness in Wynne
Trial Being Brought
From Coast.

Captain E. Wirschuleit, who was bad
Nv wanted as witness in the murder
trial of John Wynne, is due to arrive
here today on the steamship China
from San Francisco. He is in the Gus
tody of United States Marshall c. Il.
Elliott. of San Francisco, and will face
q charge of contempt Of court when
he arrives.
U. S. Marshal Hendry received a
eablepram from Chief Office Deputy
Purnham of San Francisco the other
day, notifying him of the departure OF
Marshal Elliott with Wirschuleit. The
cable is worded peculiarly, so that 1T
is not exactly known whether the de-
faulting witness is coming of his own
volition or whether he is being brought
here by Elliott. AS the latter's health
has been bad of late, Hendry is in
elined to think that Elliott is coming
to the Islands for vacation.
Wirschuleit' IS arrest was accomplish
ed only after considerable difficulty. In
the first place, he was in the port of
San Francisco when Elliott was first
given notice that the witness was
wanted. He sailed away on his ship,
the Bandon, however, before papers
could be served on him. On the return
of the Bandon he was arrested and
placed under $4,000 bond.
The United States District Attorney
wanted Wirschuleit very much during
the trial of Wynne, who was later con-
victed Of murder, and, although "a sub
poena was served on him on the Coast,
be failed to obey the summons. A
warrant was sworn out for his arrest
on charge of contempt of court, and
his trial will commence as soon as pos
sible after his arrival Saturday.
