While it is true that occasionally
during the height of the travel seas
on there are not sufficient available
accommodations on the ships to give
everyone a room to themselves, at
the same time our records show that
there have been practically no cases

from San Francisco outward and from

space. Now that the Matson Naviga-
ton Co. has put on the Honolulan,

passenger accommodations are avail
able for Honolulu travel, and as the
business grows there is no question
but what the steamship companies
will meet any legitimate demand and
provide additional passenger accom-
modations. But with all this, as !
stated before, provision should be
made at the Islands to take care OF
these people when they get there by
providing ample hotel accommoda-

PROOF OF SIGHT IN PLANTS
Nature Student Comes Forward with

Darwin believed that plants could

convolvulus. The tendrils were point
Ing outwards, but in few minutes I

of me. l went indoors then for dinner.
On my return the convolvulustendrils
disguised, had resumed their outward
march towards the rail.
Il got pole and set 1t up a foot
from the nearest tendrils. In ten min
utes they were creeping sturdily
towards the pole. To-day they are
twined about it.
How could the convolvulus tendrils
approach my foot and the pole, both
placed in the opposite direction from
the light, unless they saw? Yes, they
must have sight, these plants, or they
couldn't trot about in the silent, clever
way they do

One Industry of the Pesky Ant.

Out in Burma and the far east,
where sandalwood is worth it's weight
in silver, the pestiferous ant is a valu-
able assistant to the loggers of that
precious timber. The hard and fra
grant heartwood alone has value, but
as the tree grows this valuable heart
is overlaid by soft and worthless lay
er forming two-thirds Of the trunk.
When tree is felled and cut into
lengths the loggers let the timber lie.
At once the ants begin work upon the
soft wood. which is sappy and sweet
enough to attract them. In a few
weeks, less than month in the case
of the largest butts, the ants deliver
the heartwood free of all the worthless
sapwood.

The interior of the safe was re

that of the ordinary household strong

and the splash of light from the bulls
eye discovered a canvas bag squatting
humbly in the secret compartment; a
fat little canvas bag, considerably soiled
from much handling, such as is used
by banks for coin, sturdy, matter-of-
fact, everyday sort of canvas bag,
with nothing about it of hauteur, no
air OF self-importance or ostentation,
to betray the fact that it was the re-
ceptacle of small fortune.
At Maitland's ear, incredulous:
How did you guess?" she breathed.
He took thought and breath, both
briefly, and prevaricated shamelessly:
"Bribed the head clerk of the safe
manufacturer who built this"
Rising, he passed over to the center
table, the girl following. STEADY with
the light" he whispered; and loosed
the string around the mouth of the
bag, pouring its contents, glistening,
priceless, flaming, iridiscent treasure
horde, upon the table.
"Oh!" said small voice at his side.
And aga4n and again: "Oh, Oh. OH"
Maitland himself was moved by the
wonder Of 1t. The jewels seemed to

He heard the dull musical clash of
them as her hands swept them back
into the bag. and a cold, sickening fear
rendered him almost faint with the
sense of trust misplaced, Illusion re-

closed convulsively about her wrists:
