The Kalihi Site.

The problem of the Kalihi receiving
station site was next taken up. Presi-
dent Mott.Smith stated that the lease
on the ground would be soon expiring,
and that there were two definite pro-
posals before the Board. He said that
Mr.. Damon was willing to renew the
lease to the Government at liberal
terms, and unless it was renewed the
improvements now on the property
would be lost. He said that he had also
received an offer of tract of land
in the vicinity from the Kapiolani Es-
tate, but said that the renewal of the
lease was undoubtedly the best thing
that the Government could do under
the circumstances.
"Mr. Damon will renew the lease for
a long period" said the President,

SOFT sHELLED CRABS.
The Way They Get Rid of Their Hard
Outer Coats.

U0 Wy hwy ~ tttd ~ taSss -
Outer Coats.
Many persons believe that the hard
shelled crab and the soft shelled crab
are two different species. This is not
so. The shellf1sh thus distinguished
are merely two conditions Of the same
species.
Once a year the crab sheds its hard
outer coat, much as does snake, In
order to give itself room for greater
growth. When it gets ready to make
the transformation 1t sidles in close to
shore, where the water at low tide will
lust cover it, and where 1t is compare
lively safe from It's maritime enemies.
Then, when 1t is half buried In the
sand, its shell splits open behind, and
1t painfully crawls out. The new coat.
as soft as skin, is already well started.
But until 1t shall have become fairly
hard the crab stays almost motionless
in the shoals. While 1t Is in this con-
dition its pinchers are useless, and 1t
falls an easy prey to the most insig-
nificant enemy which happens upon It
There is no particular time OF year
chosen by the crab for the metamor-
phosis. All through the twelve months
fisher lads and barefoot fishermen wad-
ing with their baskets along the shore
at low tide gather the helpless crabs,
which fetch a high price In the mar
kets. In their soft state they are
worth from four to FIVE times their
price when In their natural hard con-
dition.-C Chicago News.

tile. 1t is a good plan to use sewer
pipe for few feet back from the out
let. as it is not so easily displaced by
freezing.
Many drains are built with an out
let In box at the side of the road or
next to neighbours fence. Such an
outlet is not very satisfactory. but
sometimes it is the best that can be
provided. The box should be well
built to keep out rubbish. The mouth
of the tile in this as we'll as in other
forms of outlets should be covered to
keep out small animals during dry
weather The bottom of the box should
be at least foot below the tile. The
silt that settles here should be clean
ed out occasionally. A much better
plan than the use of tile box is to CO.
operate with the road authorities or
with the neighbors and extend the line
of tile to some permanent outlet
Laying the Tile.
1t rarely pays a farmer to lay his
own tile, but he should keep close
watch of the men whom he hires to do
the work. A little carelessness in lay
ing the tile may make the drainage
system practically worthless. If at
any place the tile dips an inch below
the grade line, that inch Will fill up
with silt, and the capacity Of the whole
system will be reduced that much.
The old saying that a chain Is no
stronger than its weakest link applies
with especial force to a tile drain. No
man can lay tile to grade accurately
by eye, even If there is water running
In the ditch at the time. Remember
that it is your money that is paying
for the drain and that it is your priv
ilege to have it put in as you want 1t.
The only way to get the tile laid ex-
actly to grade is to use targets. When
an engineer lays out line of the tile
he sets a row Of grade stakes, each
one marked with the depth the ditch is
to be at that point. When the ditch
is down nearly to the required point
targets are set up at these grade
stakes. A target consists of an upright
stick on each side of the ditch with
a crossbar cIamped to 1t. These cross
bars should be adjusted so that they
are level and just seven feet above the
grade line. For instance. if the cut
marked on the grade stake is four
feet the crossbar should be three feet
above the stake. After a number of
these targets have been set string Is
stretched across the tops OF them
Then a measuring stick seven feet long
will Just reich from the string to the
correct grade line. With one man to
hold the measuring stick and another
to scrape out the bottom Of the ditch.
1t can be dug to grade very accurately
Of course both digging the ditch
and laying the tile should begin at the
outlet. Don't let the men stand on
the bank and lay the tile with a nook
Make them get down into the ditch
and put them in by hand. standing on
those already laid to hold them In
place. BY handling each tile an.
cracked or imperfect ones can be dis
covered and thrown out. After the
tile are laid little dirt should be
scraped from the side of the ditch to
hold them 10 place. AS soon as the
whole lire is in no time should be lost
In covering the ditch.

one of the LATEST operators in the Of

night, when this fellow thought his
days work was over and was getting

around to the office switchboard, made
a connection with the lazy fellows

table and, supplied with an old news
paper, proceeded to send Mr.. Lazy

was a lightning sender (as well as re-

his career, and the way he made that
fellow work for two solid hours was
joy. After wearing him completely
out. making him receive and copy the
equivalent of about three or four

came from behind the switchboard, ex-
posed the joke to the poor fellow and
wound up by pelting him on the nose

Sure ENOUGH Tale.

In q certain private school there Is a
small boy who is always cheerfully
miles behind everybody else. He Is
not dull boy, but learning does not
appeal to him as being thing espe-
cially to be desired. Recently the
teacher told the class in composition
that on the next day she would expect
each of them to be able to write
short anecdote. She explained with
great care the meaning of the word
anecdote. and next day when she called
the class up to write all but the lag
gard went at once to work.
''Why don't you write an anecdote,
Rob?' asked the teacher.
81 forgot what an anecdote Is" said
Rob, undisturbed-

and you ought to remember" said the
teacher, bit out Of patience. AN
anecdote is tale. Now write"
Rob bent over his slate and, with
much twisting of brow and writing

states were collected his was at the

CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fastidious Bird That Would stes
ONLY New Balls

One Fastidious Bird That Would Steal
Only New Balls.
The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls in a way wholly peculiar
from the rest of the bird species. In
parks. where the rock and the crow
abound, one can notice them sitting In
the trees or hopping about the putting
greens In the distance watching the
roll of the bali with direct or side
long glance expressive OF the keenest
interest and curiosity, which is soon
translated into desire to carry 1t on
to the roost in the neighboring wood.
The Kew gardens ad1oin the mid
Surrey course, and in the royal pre-
serve there used to be fairly large
colony of crows nesting among the
trees. OF this colony there was one
particular crow that found his great
est amusement in mingling among the
golfers and in disconcerting their play
by INDUCING il repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
His policy was to hover in attend
ance on those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which the
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used in play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as be-
ing beneath his fastidious attention.
