may lower Instruments These cables
we have already on hand and | imag-
inc that We shall be able to get rig
gers who will be able to help us in
this work, which should not be very
difficult. The first experiment that we
will try will be the dropping of pyro
meters into the molten lava to obtain
its temperature. These instruments
are carefully protected and will STAND
great many hard bumps, the only
thing that We are afraid of being that
they might possibly be caught in the
lava crusts and so be lost. For this
reason the cables are heavy, being
five-eighths Of an inch in size The
pyrometer weighs about a hundred
pounds, with its protecting armor.
From what am told, | should
imagine that these instruments would
be dropped into what is known as Old
Faithful on account of the fact that it
is continually yelling up and that
there is not so much of the cooling
crust which might hold them. They
DO not have to remain for any great
length of time and will probably be
dropped beneath the surface of the
! lava for a distance of but three or
four feet to obtain the results which
we desire.
"In addition to this we will probably
lower instruments to make various eX
periments in regard to the gases which
exist close to the molten lava. We
will probably take specimens of these
to be analysed at later date The
work that we can do is naturally lin
tied in extent as we are not going tC
be here very long.
Approves Park Plan.
81 certainly hope that the proposed
national park here will go through. 1
is something when should be takeI
up by Congress ana which should bt

a wonderful curiosity of nature as thi
is should attract great deal more at
t1ntion THAI it does now. l also hop
that the nshr future will seI a perma
nent observatory located at Kilauea
1t seems to me that Hilo and Honolulu

oil now produced in the United States
is bought by the packing houses, and
used in the manufacture of substi-
tutes for lard. Indeed the price of
this oil is largely regulated by fuctu-
ations in the market price of hog fat.
super-refned grade OF cotton
seed oil is now employed to a large
extent in the manufacture of so-called
artificial buffers, the natural hue
of the oil giving them an agreeable
and natural color. Such buffers seem
to be found quite acceptable, and are
steadily gaining in popularity.
A good deal of our cottonseed oil
was formerly used in the manufac-
ture of soap; but now it has become
too expensive, because of the growing
demand for it as food, and, to take
its place, great quantities of soy-bean
oil are being imported from China.
This valuable seed, by the way, is
the most important agricultural prod
duty, but the soap-makers have man.
aged to persuade Congress to admit
the oil free.
All the cottonseed oil produced in
Mexico is converted into soap. In
the Laguna district (the great cotton
growing region one firm, whose
headquarters are in the United
States, monopolizes the business Of
soap-making. The oil is utilized for
both laundry and toilet soaps. Apart
from soap-making, however, it has
few industrial uses. Candles are
made from it, and the residue from
the refining processes is converted
into monograph cylinders.
The cotton crop of the United
| States amounts to an average OF
| 12,O0O,O0O bales per annum. Selling
at fourteen cents a pound, it brings
the farmers $S4O,OOO,OO). The seed
incidentally produced amounts tc
about 100000 tons, of which one
fifth is used for planting. 1t seems
quite possible that at future day
cotton will be grown as much foI
seed as for fiber When that time
arrives, the Southern farmer will
get as much per bushel for his cotton
seed as the Western farmer receive
for his wheat
The price paid to farmers for thei
cottonseed twenty years ago was ST
to seven dollars ton; they now ge
twenty-five to thirty dollars a ton. A
twenty-five dollars a ton it nets Their

Togo the famous Japanese naval Off
Ger, hero of the great naval battle
of the Japan sea, who is now in Lon
don attending the coronation, TO
which he is accredited as the special
representative of his government
will come directly to the United
States after the festivities ale over,
to be the honored guest of the United
States government. At a meeting Of
the House appropriation committee
today it was unanimously decided to
recommend to the House at the next
meeting of the body Saturday that
$4,000 be Immediately appropriated
to defray the expenses of entertain
ing Admiral Togo while he is in this
country.
The contemplated visit of the dis
tinguished Japanese naval officer,
who, according to critics, ranks with
Nelson, Perry Farragut and others
on the roll of honor as naval gen.
ius, was arranged after diplomatic
exchanges between the Japanese for
eign office in Toxic and the State
Department here in Washington.
This government was asked if visit
from Admiral Togo Immediately after
the coronation in London would be
acceptable and convenient, and the
reply went back that this government
would be delighted.
Plans are now being made for AID

The cotton-growing industry in the
Hawaiian Islands is as yet only in
an experimental stage. In trying 10
raise sea island cotton in the archi-
pelago a rather curious difficulty has
been ncountered-which is that it
bears too heavily. On two acres Of
land planted with this kind of cotton
the average number of bolls per plant
was found to be 700, and on one
plant there were 1900 bolls
AS a result, the slender branches
of the sea island cotton plant arc
unable to support the burden, anil
are weighted down to the ground,
thus causing the bolls to become sat
urated with moisture and to rot. in
one locality on Oahu, no fewer than
$500 props were required on one
acre to uphold the plants and keep
the bolls from contact with the earth.
Recently, however, an elaborate Sc
ries of experiments in pruning meth
DDS seems to have led to the discov-
cry of a means whereby the neces-
sary upright growth of the plants
can be secured.

Most important of cottonseed prod,

ordinary grade of refined oil is known
commercially as "prime summer vel

called because they remain limpid in

Summer yellow oil is bleached and

squadron were entertained for almost
three days on the site, just over Dun
ning's gulch from Fort Shafter. The
camping ground of the late school of

neatly arranged tents, looked quite
natural.

line of march, homeward bound to

OVERSEER OF
POOR REPLIES
Tells South Amboy How
Office is Conducted.
speoial to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, March 20.--In re-
ply to the report Of the committee
On poor, l would say / have acted in
the capacity OF Overseer OF the Poor
for many years, and have always
carried on the business of the home
as handed down to me. That is, the
matron OF the home buying the nee
essary provisions for the welfare of
the inmates, the o%verseer designat-
ing the store or stores to p~atronize
each month.
In cases of emergency | have paid
small bills, articles for which those
bills were rendered going for the
support or comfort OF the home in
mates. Recently there have been
three or four instances IN which
cash was paid for the benefit OF the
home as / could not do otherwise.
One instance, as the only inmate In
the home was a female, / paid for
cutting aid splitting a cord of wood,
S2.16. Then l paid a milk bill of
$3.48 to the milk dealer OF this city,
refusing to render the bill to the
council last. / furnished some but
ter at 4 much reduced price, paying
1910 for the same, which I had a
perfect right to do under existing
conditions of there being NO money
In my hands to meet the payment Of
these bills. /, al Overseer OF the
Poor, did not exceed my authority
one iota. 1t seems to me there
should be a small sum placed in the
hands OF the overseer to meet SINH
lar cases.
As there was such an exhaustive
report by the Committee on Poor, /
beg leave through the columns OF the
press to lay before the people OF this
city the statistics Of a few years past:
Appropriation for poor 1909, $1,000;
for 1910, 1920; making a total Of
$4,000; expended for inmates In
1909, $678.12; and for 1910, $685.
A; making a total of $1.881.66 for
two years. while tho year previous to
my last incumbency, being the year
1908, with practically the same num-
Der OF inmates 10 cost the taxpayers
OF the city $4,000, a saving TO the
taxpayers from the appropriation in
the two years of $818.44, and on a
basis of 1908 q saving OF ~$1,61S.4A
to the city. As this appears to me
there does not seem like a slip shod
or ~extrayagant way of fulfilling the
duties of my office.
The matron has always ordered
the supply. the bills have had the
supervision of the overseer, passed
and paid by the council.
The petition on which SO much
stress was laid was prepared by the
matron's counsel and not by the
overseer, after a hearing was re-
fused the matron. There was a time
when more money was expended In
one year for the poor expense than
In the year 1903 and 1910.
Before closing I wish to say that
the Overseer Of the Poor, according
to ordinance on poor, has q right to
pay bills. 1t costs for food at the
home for three persons about TWEEN
ty-seven cents per day. Not much
slip shod about this. / have not ex-
ceeded my rights in one instance.
but conducted the business of the
home on the same line the past two
years as heretofore. barring extrava-
gance. Now, In summing up the
whole matter and putting 1t In It's
true light, 1t is simply politics.
