Botanists In Alarm.

No little alarm is being felt
among botanists at present at the
rapid disappearance of the wild flow
ers Of the Hawaiian islands. The flow
ers are beautiful beyond description.
but many of them have become ex-
tinct already. Some Of them have
very strange properties or habits.
For instance. the flower of the Hau
tree lasts but a single day, opening
at sunrise and closing at sunset. The
Koali-Awahu is another beautiful
flower and 1t changes from purple to
pink during the day. Some Of these
flowers, such as the Poolanne. bloom
only in April and May. but the great
er number seem to bloom nearly the
entire year. Some Of the vines are
very prolific, one Of them spreads
over an entire acre of ground. One
curious plant IL fly catcher. and still
another lures unsuspecting insects
to destruction by a peculiar odor and
light.

A TREE THAT WEEPS.

During the driest months Of the
Rhodesian year-August, September
and October tree, called by the
natives Mukololo exudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives the traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate Vi
cinity the impression that shower
of rain is falling. When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: "The mukololo is weeping for
rain" Even during the hottest day
the tree weeps copiously.

If the plans of the Juneau Steam ship company now under consideration are carried out the little steamer Georgia, which arrived from Alaska Saturday night, will undergo me- chanical operation on one of the Seat tie dry docks, says the P.-I. The stanch little vessel, which has been running between Juneau and Sitka, carrying mail and passengers if pres ent plans carry, will be cut in two and thirty feet of steamship grafted into her. The Georgia is no larger than an ordinary Sound steamer, but the addi- tion of thirty feet to her length will greatly increase her freight and pas senger capacity. The vessel is also to be given a general overhauling and new freboxes will be installed.

It is, there fore, interesting that he does not think Controller bay was worth grabbing; that he has found other harbors which would have been more desirable had the "coal barons" desired to hold the key to the treasure, and moreover, that he, in agreement with President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania system, is convinced that the tales of plunder, as we'll as of the plunderbund, have been greatly exaggerated. Secretary Fisher comes back impressed with the idea that has impressed every student of the Alaskan situation, whether in person at close range, or through authoritative reports, that the crying need there is for chance to develop, for utilization, rather than for conser- vatiou solely. And in that report, as we'll as in his opinion that some form of leasing io the most feasible method of development he is simply giving his indors ement, as a recognized conserva- tionists, who has got his information at first hand, to the opinion and policy set forth by President Taft at the opening of his administration and ad- hered to consistently since that time.

The steamship Victoria, of the Alaska Steamship Go, made the trip from Nome to Seattle last month, in seven days, twelve and one-half hours, which is said to establish a record.

 Good, black Alaska coal is being used in the Panama as fuel. Arrivals from Goldking creek in the Wood river country say that such is the case. Recently in the construction of ditch for use in conveying water from Misky and Goldking creeks to the Berry & Hamil hydraulic opera. tions, the workmen who were engaged ID the construction were at a loss for fuel. They decided to use coal taken from by outcrops and discovered that it made very acceptable fuel. Later when the ditch was completed, the solitary ditchtender used the prec. ious stuff in keeping his little cabin warm .-Fair banks Times.
 Charged with the murder of Charles F. Boyd, former soldier at Fort Glib bon, William Giese, also an eX-soldier, has been arrested at Panama under a bench warrant from the district court and is being brought back to Fair

He said that Boyd was asleep in the next room and asked that he be not disturbed. However, the boys said they went in and there they discov' cred Boyd dead from a pistol wound.
 O. G. Laberee, president of the Alaska Northern railroad, states that if the govern ment will take any action that will make the Alaska coal avail able to burn iu his company's locomo- ti7es and for the local demands of the country to stimulate the building up of local industries, his company will immediately begin the construction of 800 miles of railroad and employ 5000 men for at least five years.
