The licht of the FirefIy.

When man will attain the perfect vacuum then the rude ether blush of the electric light bulb will give forth many times more light, purified and heatless. soft and healing, as the light of the stars, penetrating as the sun. An examination of the firehy when emitting flames or light shows bodily movements that cannot be understood to mean anything else than vacuum producing The lights are always seen in the vacuum sack on the back. 1m- mediately before emitting light the insect will flatten the body, draw the legs in, droop the head, seemingly con- tractiag in all directions; then with the relaxation come the flame and light The bodies of the glowworm and frefy always are transparent when filled with flame The blades of grass or other debris are seen plainly through the bodies. Here are cases of nature dealing with x rays.-Chicago Tribune.

I looked him over once or twice. made quick estimate of all the loose cash 1 thought we could scrape up and said: "Yes. How do you want it?" He gave a smile, sat down and said. q think I'll take it in land" In months time. as his authorized agent, I bought about 30,- coo acres of cheap railroad land for my Chicago friend. taking the deeds in my name at his request. paying an avera9e of $2.G5 an acre.

"The salar- ies there are high; clerks are paid from &l00 to Sl50 month," :" and it don't cost any more to live there than it does in Washington or not so much
 ''Of course when you go farther north the cost of transportation makes prices high, but the salaries are higher accordingly.

ONE THOUSAND AMERICANS ARE
WELCOME,

The arrival in this city today of
upwards Of one thousand enlisted men
Of the Army and Navy is merely the
forcrunner of the things which are to
come.
Honolulu has been talking of what
is to be, and more than one of our cit
liens pessimistlcally inclined has
dampcned the ardor of the enthusi-
asst by suggesting that 1t would "all
end in talk" and the present genera
tiun could hardly expect to realize on
the actual facts Of speedy expansion.
Those who have retained their conf
denCe in the country and remained
loyal to the city are now to have
their innings.
Like all good things. Honolulu will
have the plans for development all
eliminating at once, The arriya of
one thousand citizens of the United
States to remain as permanent resi-
dents of this Island is the greatest
single influx OF American blood that
the Territory has ever received. Equal
and larger numbers have passed
through, but this is the largest per-
manent addition.
And this is only the beginning.
In the wake of these cavalrymen
and marines will follow ut least an
equal number Of American civilians,
who will not only live here but eXer-
else all the rights of citizenship in
this community, taking an active
part in the affairs Of the City and
the Territory.
These people, these American citi-
zcns, will help Honolulu grow. And
coming from the mainland. fresh from
the atmosphere of the public school,
the town meeting, the cities and
towns of patriotic, frugal people, they
will help Honolulu to grow along ira
ditional American lines, as well as
help in material strength figured in
purchasing power.
This city welcomes the cayalrymen
the marines, the officers, and the fam
lilies of all. Whether this is to be a
garrison town, or a seaport town, We
an American town. With steadily in
Creasing numbers of the right kind OF
people it will be more thoroughly
American than II has been, and II
has not been especially backward on
that score.
