CLAIMS OF BAHAIsM.

Bahaism claims to be a universal
faith, and purposes to unity the be-
levers of all creeds and countries. Its
followers base their creed on the re-
Violations of Abdul-Baha of Galilee,
who appeared and established a Nee
ca for his followers in Persia some
siXty-fve years ago. After exhort-
ing the people of San Francisco to
turn to the light of BAHIA, Nine. Beth
len will proceed to Honolulu, and
from there to the Orient. After
spreading her gospel around the
world, she will return to the place
in Persia where dwells the successor
of BAHIA, proclaimed by his followers
as a living messiah.
Madam Bethlen is handsome ma
iron of perhaps 35 years, with a de-
cidedly pleasing personality. She
speaks with a marked foreign accent,
though she converses in thirteen diff
ferent languages, in addition to the
Hungarian, her native tongue. She re-
nOunced her title, wealth and friends,
she says, while on a visit to the
worlds fair in Chicago on hearing an
Interpretation of the new religion.
PREDICTS THE MILLENNIUM.
The titled missionary predicts the
millennium will come in 1915. She
can prove it by the Bible, she says,
and the world, and especially San
Francisco, should be ready for its
coming.

Attention to New Ground.


The work with the rejuvenated
plantations is not all that is being
done. The Department, it is stated,
is trying the best and cheapest way
to set out new plantations. Instead of
setting out a plantation of seedlings,
the Department puts the coffee seeds
into a specially prepared bed, where
they can be given start and better
care than if they were scattered over
a large area. The most thrifty seed
lings are selected, and these are set
out in nursery rows and kept there
for year, so that by the time the
tree is planted ont where it is to
remain it is two years old.
1t has been found that the expense
of putting in plantation in this way
and caring for it till the time of the
first crop, which is about five years,
is about 500 per acre. This is re-
garded as cheaper than planting and
caring for fruit orchard in the states.
While the experimental work has
been done with the plantations, IL is
stated, the breeding and trial of the
various trees has not been neglected.
New varieties of coffee that ought to
do well or that would be desirable
have been brought from all quarters.
There is high grade Java coffee,
that is worth wholesale from 26 to
80 cents a pound and there is the
rare Mocha that costs from 50 to AZ
cents 6 pound.
Experiments Made.
These varieties and several others
have been acclimated and adapted tC
their new surroundings. Some of the
strains promise well, but it is regard
ed as a long and tiresome process
waiting for coffee trees to mature. be
cause it takes six years to get the
first crop, and the first crop is sell
dom representative.
There have been experiments i'll
hybridizing the strains, but this is
scarcely considered remunerative
work, because if particular blend is
wanted it can be usually secured by
blending the beans. However, there
is always a chance of striking some
thing particularly valuable among
seedlings, it is conceded, and the work
| is allowed to go on.
