Ahukini, Kauai. The Mauna Loa had
humber of passengers on board and
al assorted cargo, but neither the
Helene nor the Keauhou had any
passengers.
The Mauna Loa's freight list was,
indeed, a varied one, including a
great variety of live stock, as will
be seen from the following list: One
mule, one colt, one calf, one box of
dogs, one box of turkeys, two boxes
of ducks, two horses, two cows, four
boxes Of pigs seventeen pigs, "a

ports brought in by the Inter-Island
boats this morning. The Keauhou,
from Kauai, reports light north east
winds, with rainy weather in Kona
and Kau on the outward trip, and fine

ANOTHER WIRELESS "sAvEp

The wonderful efficiency of wire
less telegraphy in bringing aid to
disabled ships was again demonstrat-
ed early on January Is when the
Standard oil tanker Maverick flashed
out TIE IS. o. s." international signal
of distress % miles off Point Cabrillo
on the California coast, and in less
than 10 minutes received the reply
that the Asuncion, sister ship, was
headed at top speed to render as
sistance.
While laboring in a heavy sea,
whipped by a southwest gale off
Point Cabrillo at 4 o'clock in the
morning, the tail shaft suddenly
snapped and the big tanker, which
was coming to port from Tacoma in
ballast, swung about and wallowed
helplessly in the mountainous seas.
The Asuncion handed the Maverick
over to two tugs and she was towed
into port safely.

Fossil Rain.

From the Literary Digest.
Slabs of stone that were once wet sur
faces of soft clay on the banks OF pools
of water often bear peculiar marks that
are supposed by biologists to be the i'm
prcssions of prehistoric raindrops. In one
celebrated fossil in the Peabody museum
at Yale there are bird tracks mingled with
rain Impressions, and It Is possible, by
close examination, to tell whether the bird
walked across the prehistoric mud-flat be-
fore or after the shower. AS the impress
sions have edges that are higher on one
side than on the other, the slant of the
rain during the shower, INK therefore.
the direction of the wind at the time, can
be ascertained. But now comes an AUS
TRAN geolog.st named Hoefer. who pro-
poses, in a paper read before the Vienna
! Academy of Science, an entirely new ex-
| PLANTATION OF the supposed Iaindrop pits,
which, he asserts, may have been, and
! probably we're, formed by the issue of bub-
bles of gas from the muddy surface.
However his may be, it has certainly not
been disproved that the marks might
have been due to rain, and q Spanish
teacher, Hermano Jose Esteban, of the
College of Nuestra Sonora de las Mara
villas. sends to the editor OF Cosmos
Far;s, June 10y a specimen of clay bear
ing precisely similar marks from a mod
visa wv AAS NANC AAOASS - &AASkS
the marks have been obtained expert
mentally by various biologists. by throw
ing drops of water against smooth wet
clay. Writes Professor Esteban:
1.-The fact of fossil rain is a real one,
and any observing mind may see it pro-
duced. AS a proof l send you a little
specimen, not of fossil rain, for the eff
fects of time and circumstance are lack
ing, but of something that a only
age to be classed as such.
Last March a downpour Of considerable
violence brought into the depressions and
cracks of our court yard q small guam
tity Of very fine slime. An our Of calm
and sunshine gave the water a chance to
run off or dry away, leaving q smooth
and plastic layer Of clay. Then came a
light shower, lasting several seconds, and
each drop hat fell on this pasty mud left
its mark as a tiny. empty hemisphere, as
you may see by the specimen that I send.
Il ante q bit Of fossil rain for my
collection, and therefore, lacking It, I be-
thought myself to gather with care some
pieces of this clay. which after drying
could at least serve to illustrate to my
pupils the phenomena in question.
For the honor Of the little raindrop, Ia
which some would now seem willing ia
deny the power Of performing q task SO
easy for one that can break rocks asun-
der and crumble mountains. I pray you to
make known to those interested the re.
suits OF this observation Of mine."
