POL YDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question: send you a copy of a
painting of a hand which I found
among a lot Of things in an old trunk
in our garrett. Can you tell from it
what the character of the person was
to whom it belonged?
Answer-Your question is SUSCEPTIBLE
of two meanings. 1t may refer either
to the character of the person who pos
sessed the picture or the character Of
the person whose hand the painting de-
picts. / assume you mean the latter.
The hand was that of a pure Mer-
curian. The little finger and the mouth
beneath 1t are SO Enthusiastically the
leading traits of the hand that there
can be no doubt of the type. Tffe
fingers, moreover, are short, comic and
smooth and with the second phalanx
longest.
This all tells of one who excelled as
either a physician, lawyer or scientist.
He was as quick as a flash In his in
buttons and was apt to fly off the
handle too often for his W or his
fellow mems good.
Question-Will got please tell me
from the photograph of my hand which
| enclose h the lines that run along
the edge Of the palm near the wrist
signify? / mean the horizontal lines on
the side opposite the thumb.
Answer-They indicate health de-
fects. l take it that you are a woman.
II / am correct in this conjecture, the
lines refer to ailments peculiar to your
sex. In the case Of men the same lines
would signify renal troubles.

RUSSIAN TREATY

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Decem-
Der 11.-what are believed to be in
spired articles are appearing In the
papers of the capital commenting on
the controversy between this country
and the United states regarding the
recognition of passports granted Jews
desiring to enter Russia.
They declare that the treaty between
the two countries is likely tossOon DO
nullified, stating that the American reg
ulation is cruel one which rejects the
immigrant under the money qualifcay
tion.
The logical development Of this regu2
lation, it is added, is the exclusion from
America Of thousands of Russian Jews,
and this is assorted to be the real mo-
tive of the American politicians by
their agitation in favor Of the abroga-
ton of the treaty.

(Mail Special to The AdvoEtiserl)
HIO, December s.-The territorial
government is going to fulfil Its prom
iso to open up a tract of the unused
Waiakea lands malSai of the mill for
settlement, as Governor FFeSr said
some time ago he would try to do.
A couple of territorial surveyors are
now in HilO for the purpose of making
maps Of the tract. OF course. the open
ing of tho lots for homes Is not the
primary purpose of the survey, but ie
is one of the factors taken into con
sideTation therein, and the prospects
that the homeseekers who have their
Dyes on this tract may live to see their
hopes realized, seem rOsior than ever.
The government surveyors who will
have charge of the work arrived IN the
Mauna Kea last Wednesday. They are
8. w. Tay and H. H. Allen, both as
siBtants in the government survey de-
partment. They have already started
to work.
According to Tay, the tract to be
surveyed is a very large one, running,
roughly speaking, from tbs Wailoa
river TO the forest. line. The mauka
boundary runs makai Of the Waiakea
mill, but mauka Of ths Hoolulu race
track, while the survey viii be carried
on to the beach, as far as the break

There are several reasons why this
survey Is being taken up at this time.
It appears that the government has no

tract, which has, a. q matter Of fact,

WASHINGTON, December l1.@sec.'
rotary Of war Henry L. stimson has
completed his report for congress ana
the result is in a number of ways rather
startling, insofar as the general public
is concerned.
One of the clauses in his report, il to,
the effect that in the contingency of a
war with a first-elass power the United
States would find itself unprepared in
regard to the army. SO I@ =
His principal criticism in this con-
nection is that the army is too scattered
and could not be modified in time for
effective work.
