eucalyptus trees blown down in the
Tantalus forest during a Kona storm
in February. Some of the trees were
cut up into posts which will be used
in durability tests on the grounds
of the College of Hawaii in Manoa
valley. From others timbers were
cut out that will be tested in the
harbor as to their value for piling
Some of the wood will be cut into
blocks for trial as wood paving. The
rest will be sold as fire wood. The
money from this sale goes into the

Seed Law.
In accordance with the directions
of the board the superintendent Of
entomology and forestry spent some
time during April in the preparation
of a Pure Seed Law, which was
passed by the Legislature as Act 107.
Copies of this law have been reprint
ed for distribution here and abroad.
1t is suggested that it would help in
its enforcement and tend to prevent
the Introduction of weeds into Ha-
waii if persons ordering seed in
quantity were to send copies of this
act with their order The board will
be glad to supply copies of the law

investigation of koolau, Maui Forest.
For some time arrangements have
been under way whereby one of the
foresters of the Philippine Bureau OF
Forestry should visit Hawaii for the
purpose of consultation over certain
forest problems presented by the
death of a portion of the native for
est in the district of Koolau, Maui.
During May this project has been
carried out by the visit of Mr.. H. NJ.
Curran, of the Philippine staff, who
has stopped over between transports
on his way back to Manila from the
mainland. Temporarily Mr.. Curran
has been appointed special forest
Inspector in the Division of Forestry.
The object of Mr.. Currap's visit to
Hawaii is to assist in working out
plans for the replacement of forest
on the areas where the old growth
has been killed To this end, he
with the superintendent of forestry
spent the fortnight from April Is to
the end qf the month on Maui. A
detailed report of recommendation
as to how best to treat this forest
will be 81 bmitted to the board in
the pear future, prior to Mr.. Cur
rams departure for Manila on the
May transport.
Botanical Investigations.
Early in April Mr.. J. F. Rock, the
botanical assistant of the Division OF
Forestry, visited Hawaii to collect
plant material in the Districts OF
Puma and Kau, in the vicinity of the
Volcano House, more especially on
the section that is proposed to DC
set apart as a National Park. FL
found a number of interesting plants
some new to science, of which fur
Their mention will be made here
after.
Later in April Mr.. Rock accompa
MED Nj. Hosmer and Mr. Curran or
their trip to Maui, remaining after
their return to collect addiRona
material in tht Koolau and Hama dis
tricts. From these several expedi
tions the herbarium is decidedly the
gamer. A later report will give {
summary of the results obtained.
Very respectfully,

rasmania,s waterxavs.

Tasmania is magnificently watered,
1t has two noble interchangeable Der
went in the south, and lamar in the
north. The Huon, also fine stream,
provides water carriage into the heart
of one of the chief orcharding dis
tricts. The Derment is navigable for
small craft for many miles above Ho,
bart, while intercolonial steamers
trade regularly to Launceston, and
berth easily 40 miles from the sea.
These are the main watercourses, and
they are fed by innumerable tribu-
taries. The two cities and most of the
smaller towns are consequently well
supplied with beautiful water, while
away on a highland plateau in the
center of the island is range of lakes
OF vast capacity. The possibilities of
power from them are immense, though
engineers say the initial expense
would be heavy. The South Esk pro-
vides Launceston with the power for
its municipal electrical installation.
The northern city is one of the best
lighted in Australasia. Many of its
manufactures use electrical power.

Six HORSEPOWER Horse.

A correspondent of French News
paper, desiring to ascertain the actual
strength of powerful horse. visited
several of the stables that use the
finest horses in Paris, and in those
of good trucking company he Sc
lected an eight-year-old Percheron
which for three years had been en-
gagged continually in hauling cut stone
for building purposes. This horse
seemed to him the most powerful in
Paris. He tested the animal and it
was able to haul block of stone
about 20 feet cube, weighing 13A tons,
placed upon car that weighed Az
tons, making total weight of 17A
tons. This is task to which six
horses would ordinarily be put.

as the engine bell tolled. .
The girl simply frightened her grip,

NO; have my bag. But forgot
the coat
He jerked gently The train had
started to move.
His antagonist, who was more than
twenty, braced herself and jerked in

banged against the metal arm of the

turned in his direction.
Strange you should forget your
coat and not your bag said the girl,
with meaning scorn Her cheeks
were glowing and she was handsomer
than ever. And equally strange that
it should be black, silk-lined and silk,

Aldrich looked out of the window
despairingly. The train was well I'm,

We'll, well!" Georges voice shook
strangely. Funny hadn't noticed 1t

And the robber is Aldrich, naughty
three. Brink, you old pirate!"
Aldrich sat at his desk Monday
morning, engaged in day dream, de-
spite the fact that the outer office was
full of clients. His feet rested among
scattered papers on the surface of the
mahogany; his hands were clasped
behind his head
Thus ran his musings: "She's a
darling! And to think she's old George
Mellody's sister Dorothy Melody
Dorothy Mellody-Dorothy! Mighty

His eyes became more alert.
"Princeville isn't any farther from the

have met her! If that isn't luck, the
greatest of luck"
He stopped and glanced over his
shoulder guiltily; but there were no
grubby hands rustling his papers; no
shrill whistle in the outer Office.
His feet came down off the desk.
He reached for sheet of paper and
a pen, and wrote rapidly With an
honest, shame-faced grin he read what
he had written: Dear Wad-Come

mind; there Is such thing as luck

the note. and rang for a messenger.

This survey convinced the board that

In many places the mud is five or

by the use of streams of water pro-
jected by the most powerful pumps.
This is especially to be observed on
the starboard side Cf the quarter deck
of the Maine, which is completely bu-
ried in mud.
The water level in the cOferdam to

which is somewhat higher than this

policy being to continue work with
the utmost elaboration regardless OF

discovery that the deterioration Of the

POTATO CROP BETTER.
As Season Advances the Outlook
Seems to Improve.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Elizabeth City, June 17.-TraveIing
statesmen from the city returning this
week from Currituck county report
that the farmers of hat good section
are feeling in the best Of spirits over
the result Of the Irish potato crop
and the outlook for sweet potatoes
and cotton.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather for the Irish potato crop, the
same being short considerably the
prices demanded were very good and
the truckers really came out ahead Of
the game in most sections of his part
Of the State. In Currituck county the
largest truckers were Well pleased
with the outcome and state that they
made enough out of the crop to make
whatever profit they get from their
sweet potato crop clear of expenses.
The travelling men state that they never
saw SO many sweet potatoes and that
all the farmers are much encouraged
over the growth so far. If the prices
are good and the crop can be put on
the market early enough the planters
of this section will reap a rich harvest
from his crop.
Cotton. as usual, is to be seen every
where and the crop IS coming along
in the best of shape and the 1ndica-
tons so far are that this entire section
Of the state is going to have IN excep-
tionally successful farming year. This
means much not only to the farmer
direct. but to every other business in
terest in Elizabeth City and this sec
ton.
