SKELETON OPINIONS FOR
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, December 1O.-Skel-
eton opinions have been invented BY
Chief Justice White to relieve the
supreme court of the United States
of much labor He has named them
officially memorandum" opinions.
The new sort of opinion was de-
signed to meet the heavy demands
upon the time and energy of the JUS
tees, due to the increased number or
cases taken under AMUSEMENT since
Chief Justice White came to the head
of the court. 1t will relieve the JUS
tees from making an exhaustive
statement in regard to all the facts

sons for the courts decision than

ions verb rendered for the first time
Monday. Their nature was revealed
today when the written opinions were
filed with the clerk Of the court.
These show that the justices take
various views of what a skeleton
opinion may be. Justice Lamar an
nounced a memorandum opinion in
which everything said was based on
cited authority. Justice Lurton, on
the other hand, prepared one in which
not a single authority was cited.

RHINOCEROS ONCE ROAMED
OVER WYOMING COUNTRY

Cialize in the skeletal structure that
had already been adopted by the
threetoed horses, another branch of
the same preissodactyl suborder. But
wherever the rhinoceros went wheth-
.er to muddy river or windswept hill
side, he never forgot his early train
ing so far as to change his diet His
teeth remain as testimony through
the ages to the fact that always he
ate soft, fleshy plants, such as a moist
meadow produces.
Here Mr.. Riggs sees cause for the
determination of the American rhi-
noceros in all forms. Before the com:
ing of the ice age (Which might not
have hurt him much by the way, since
in one instance at least he adapted
himself to a cold climate by growing
a woody coat. The rhinoceros found
the air becoming for a time less moist
and still less so as mountains rose up
and cut off the warm, humid winds
from the west. The crop of soft,
fleshy vegetation failed year after
year, and the rhinoceros knew moth
ing of irrigation and intensive farm
ing. Therefore he died, and now he

Mississippi and the Rockies and ex-

EUCALYPTUS FOR
sUBDUING MALARI 4


Editor Star: The writer in the
early seventies called public attention
to the importance of eucalyptus trees
for subduing malaria at Kakaako and
Waikiki. The properties of the euca-
lyptus have been confirmed by medi-
cal men in Sweden, France and Italy,
to whom the opportunities for hy-
gienic researches of this kind much
more readily arouse than to us here
in Hawaii. In places where these
trees were planted, so soon as euca-
lyptus vegetation copiously arose the
disease was gradually checked.
The powerful disinfecting action OF
the eucalyptus is we'll known all over
Australia. The power of the euca
lyptus to absorb moisture from the
ground is enormous. The gradually
dropping foliage, unlike that OF mos
other trees, acts also with deodorz
! ing effect on the soil, besides acting
most wholesomely on poisonous air

1.-THE Poet of the Pacific"
oo0o0s0sooss.,.. ...a0o.o.

The loveliest product of the place
She waits with leis in her hand;
With leis round her neck and hair;
Type surely Of this happy land
Light-hearted, loving, debonair.
If you but grant it, she will place
Around your hat a fragrant strand;
A wreath of maile-with such grace
None but a statue could withstand
All honor to her olive skin,
Her full-orbed eyes, her kindly face;
Sooner or later she will win
The malihini to her place!
The above is considered by many to
be the finest tribute to the Hawaiian
ever penned.
The contents of the volume include:
"Hapa-Haole," Hawaii" and ITO a
Dandelion in Hawaii"
The poems as a whole smack of the
Pacific sea and soil from which they
spring-full of luscious tropical airs
and skies, joyful with mere existence.
The verses are divided under the
heads of Under the Silver Moon"

Though someway your face seems just

Your smile as sweet your step as

with a verse from Hawaii Mel"
poem which alone would entitle the
author to a high place among the Pa
cific poets;
Nowhere will fairer sky o'erspread
Its canopy of blue;
Nowhere will purer moonbeams fall
Or gentler stars shine through.

WEST IS FINDING
NEW FOODSTUFFS

Chicago Daily News Il was some.
what amused the other day over an
account of a banquet at a Chicago
hotel at which everything the guests
ate and drank was made from
alfalfa" said James F. Remick OF
Cody Wyo., recent visitor to- the
international live stock exposition
and the land show. "Out west we are
getting ready to do a whole lot more
than that. We are not only feedns
our hogs, horses, cattle, sheep, chick
ems and bees on alfalfa, and getting
ready to make it a large part of the
rations of our children, but we arc
well on the way toward introducing
other new things as human food.
For instance, Wyoming farmers a
few years ago brought to the United
States Russian emmer, which is not
wheat, oats, barley or rye, but never
theless a hardy, heavy bearing grain.
In the last four years we have
crossed it with American grain so
successfully that we now have nearly
100 varieties of new cereals. enc OF
these is a near approach to wheat.
and during the summer one FARMER

five bushels to the acre of the gram.

and his family has eaten bread from
it, which was sweet and seemec 10

large recent demand for okra, a muc-
ilaginous, leguminous plant relatec to
cotton, which grows so extensively
and luxuriantly in the south as 10 be
regarded as a weed. 1t is eaten there
in large quantities both from the pod
and in soups and is now regularly OIL

city.
"a company has been formed at
San Diego, Cal, to harvest the great
beds of kelp which abound all the
way from the Mexican border north
to Sitka, Alaska. The chief purpose
of gathering kelp is to make use or Il
as fertilizer, for it contains potash,
potassium, phosphate, ammoniated
potassium phosphate, potassium nj
trate and sulphate of potash, but it is
asserted by those who have made a
close examination of the queer vege-
table of the sea that parts of it are
glutinous and nourishing and that It
can be used for human food.
"AlI of which brings us face to race
with the probability that within the
next ten years the average American,
instead of sitting down to dinner OF
roast beef, potatoes, parsnips, caun-
flower, tea biscuit, mince pie, cheese
and coffee, will eat crisp kelp flakes,
ollra soup, emmer mullins, alfalfa
omelet and alfalfa pound cake,
spreading his mullins and cake with
alfalfa honey and drinking emmer
coffee. 1t is more likely, however,
that he will so mix the old fashioned
and the new fashioned meals as to
eat and drink some of each, adding
to them some of the extra perishable
but delicious West Indian, General
American and South American fruits
-mangoes, for instance-which the
Panama canal will help to hurry to
this country in the next few years"

1t would doubtless have delighted
the eyes of any esthetically inclined
pre-Adamite to see a comparatively
lithesome eocene rhinoceros in his ma.
tive haunts, which is to say, in the
semtropical, well watered lands OF
early tertiary Wyoming. According to
e. S. Riggs, assistant curator of the
division of palentology in the Field
Museum of Natural History, the early
rhinoceros, comparatively grace
full little creature, was one of the old
settlers of (geologically) modern
times in America.
The early rhinoceros had partial
ity for America. Perhaps that is be-
cause he was born here. Even the
rhinoceros of this degenerate age is
a patriotic being, intensely resentful
of any intrusion of his adopted land.
Mr.. Riggs will not go so far as to say
that there were no rhinOceroses in
Europe in the early stages of their
being, either through local develop
ment from primordial protoplasm or
by reason of immigration from Ameri-
ca. All he will say on that subject is
that the rhinocerean remains found up
to this time in the old world are of a
later age.
Beast Plentiful in America.
At any rate, America had a plenti-
full supply Mr.. Riggs says that the
fossil skeletons found in Wyoming in
dictate that the former possessors
thereof were comparatively small and
slender. He likened them in size to
the modern tapir, a distant relative,
and also, since tapirs are not common
in Illinois, to the modern sheep, but
only as to size. There is not much
chance of determining exactly from a
lot Of fossil skeletons whether the
prehistoric beasts affected the syle OF
skin that makes all the children sym
pathize with Indian rhinoceroses in
the menageries, but one point in the
outward appearance is certain. The
little rhinoceros had no horn on his
nose.
1t is not to be doubted that the ear

There has just been issued from
the press of The Blair-Murdock Com
pany of San Francisco new volume
of poems by DR.. E. S. Goodhue, OF
Kailua, Hawaii.
DR. Goodhue has been called "The
Poet of the Pacific" and his work, a
great deal of which has appeared in
the local papers, is marked by warmth
of feeling and a subtle power of
expression; by exuberant fancy and
imagination and by an unusual nuency
of diction.
Makes Poetry Pay.
That DR.. Goodhue's verse brings
money is demonstrated by what he
wrote in a symposium for which he
was asked to contribute. It reads as
follows:
You ask me what | get for verse
nowadays! Well, can't say that l
write for pay-or that pay has much
to do with what I write, for | don't
compose verse unless am impelled
by a mood. / am not a professional
poet, you know, but a physician en-
gagged in a country practice which
takes up most Of my time and thought
Still, accept pay for what I do write
and, in the last few years have had
few refusals Of manuscript summit
ted. The cheques received have been
large, and in my opinion, generous for
the work accepted, ranging from 500
10 5000. This week | got 81 for four
or five lines for a well-known eastern
publication. The money reward is the
smallest part, for each contribution
brings me many cordial letters of ap-
probation, and in some instances, per-
manent correspondents are made. AS
a rule, these are writer's of reputation
who have a fraternal feeling, and who,
perhaps, realize how much a poet
needs sympathy! Without these show
ers of blessing, no real poet could ey-
list in this unitarian age. Although one
of the most appreciative letters l ever
received came few months ago from
multi-millionaire, well-known, who
asked me for an autograph Spoem, spe-
