TERRIBLE WEAPONS.

Feroeious Knives Welded by the Ma

The weapon common to every part
of Hindustan. so as to deserve the

crossbar. which is generally double.
while the side bars extend on each
side of the wrist.
Some katars are made with five
blades which unite into one. but by
squeezing together the crossbars di-
verge like the fingers of a hand when
the thrust has been given. Other ka-
tars are made in sets of two or even
three. of diminishing sizes. the blades
Of the larger being hollow and form
ing sheaths for the smaller.
Some of the southern Indian katars,
known as death givers." are immense
weapons, nearly two feet long in the
blade, and the hits are a mass OF
fantastic scrouwork and NEUROLOGICAL
holsters, the cobra with expanded
hood figuring largely.
There is also the "bich'hwa," or
scorpions sting. a doubly curved dag

SENSE OF TASTE.

Curious SeIeetive Powers Exhibited by
the Tongue.
-Four classes-sweet. bitter, salt and
acid-have been assigned to the sense
OF taste IN human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
duce all the delicious sensations that
we ascribe to taste as well as all the
disagreeable impressions Of that sense.
The tongue, however, is not equally
sensitive IN all parts to these sensa
tons. Indeed. IT has been shown that
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip OF the
tongue, for instance, is most sensitive
to sweet and TO acid tastes. while il is
far less capable Of perceiving a bitter
taste than any other part of the organ.

JOSEPH PULITZER
DIES AT SEA ON
YACHTING CRUISE

NEW YORK. October ao.-Joseph
Pulitzer, editor of the New York World,
and one of the great forces in modern
journalism for three decades, died at
sea yesterday on board of a yacht.
He and some intimate friends were
cruising off the harhor of Charleston,
South Carolina, when he was overcome
by an attack of paralysis of the heart,
believed to have been induced by gall
stones. The body win be brought to
this city for burial.
Mr.. Pulitzer has been practically
blind for a number of years, and lately
he has been suffering severely in health.
To the last he kept up with the ques-
lions of the day, although taking no ac-
tive part in the direct editing Of his
paper.

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER RIHUEA
Professor Perel Returns and
Boosts Further Study
Gets Results.

fnihuslasiic 81 to ihe future value
70 the scientific world In general Of n
continuous study of Hawaiian vol.
eanoes, Professor Frank A. porrct 70.
turned from The Island Of Hawaii
Saturday after several months OF
study at Kilauea, and Is guest vt The
Young Hotel
The practical results Of tho time,
money and labor expended by PROBES.
sor Perfet at Kilauea CONSISTS largely
Of the confirmation and discovery of
several scientific theories and facts
relative to volcanic action and energy,
which, he declares, are Of the utmost
value not only TO the hcicnce of vol.
canology, but to all mankind.
~ am in difficult predicnment, -
he said last night, ~ have to make
ono public lecture here and several ad-
dresses on very small subject and
hardly know how. Those facts win be
incorporated in the scientific paper
which will appear In due time and 1T
is due those who have made this ex-
petition possible that such should be
the ease. On the other hand if | do
not make those public now I>might be
accused of having accomplished moth
ing. t
1.-The study of these volcanoes, and
more especially that of Kilauea, would
be of inestimable value and already a
very favorable impression has been
made on the scientific world by the
af he "a, &c a
permanent observatory at this crater,
which has been shown in a number of
ways.
''Among other things it has been
proposed by an Italian volcanologist
that this crater shall be made an anti
podal station to South Africa. It is
not necessary that the South African
station also he located at an active
volcano ms the observation of seismic
disturbances is just as important.
"The Geographische Monatsbericht,
a German periodical, has also men
toned this observation of Kilauea and
has given further publicity to the
work.
81 believe that the general public
knows very little and cares very little
about this science. Some of the ques-
tions which have been. asked by tour
rists concerning the work at Kilauea
have been absurd. The value of the
data gathered by volcanologists is of
less value to other related sciences than
to itself as voleanology, embraces many
other sciences which contribute to it,
rather than being branch of geology
or other study. Chemistry, geology,
astronomy and other sciences all con
tribute to It..
Certainly Kilauea is true vol
cano,'S he added in answer. to a ques-
ton. Fundamentally the same as
Aetna, Vesuvius or any other, the ac-
ton, shape Of the cone and other mat
tiers, where individual volcanoes vary,
being due to the different quality of
the lava and other related causes. The
lava in Kilanea, after long continual
downfall, is again rising. gradually,
but surely The gradual dropping of
the surface of the lava came to an end
about September. y

MONE STOLEN
JEWELRY FOUND
lchn Eihnuer Nay b Arrested
Tor Receiving PART Of
WIchman Loot.

NNNNW NaNWNHN ft"NfANf"'AtF
Approximately between $500 nnd
tioo worth Of icwsiry. hcine part Of
che loot from she store or II. r. wieh-
MAN & Co. was recovered by Chief Nc
Duaic yesterday, making now about
si5oO worth Of jcwclry which the
Chinaman Lau Kit, Is known 20 have
stolen from tae showcases and stock
Of that firm while employed there.
As result Of tho developments in
this case yesterday it is possible that
John Efinger, VOL known locally, and
proprietor Of the Hawaii and South
Seas Curio Company, in the Young
building, may be arrested FOR receiv-
ing stolen goods, as the greater part
Of the $500 worth was found to either
have been in his store or TO have been
already sold by him.
II. i. Wiehman, head Of the victim
lied firm, is reported to have yesterday
requested the prosecution of Efinge- on
this point, the request having been
made to Chief McDufie. Further ac-
tion on this particular issue of the case
viii probably be decided on one way
or the other at conference with the
city prosecuting officials that may be
held today.
After a night of thinking it over"
Lau Kit, the prisoner, confessed to
having sold part of his loot to several
other places and the chief visited these
in turn. Part of the goods which had
been sold by Lau Kit to Ei1inger were
recovered and identified by Mr.. Wieh-
man.
From the store of Tai 10y, n ieweler
at the corner of Nuuam and Hotel
streets, fifteen rings, averaging in value
about twelve dollars a piece, several
loclSets and gold necklace were re-
covered, apparently all that Lau Kit
had turned in here for sale. Tai 10y,
having been awakened to the character
of Lau Kit, now believes that the latter
has embezzled half of a number of
revolutionary stickpins given him for
sale.
Lau Kit processes to be very peni-
tent and at critical points in his fire.
quent examinations, becomes "sick. !"
Upon being returned to his cell after
his confession Saturday night he asked
Turnkey Fred Iaulkea to pray for him
and help make him good man and if
the genial turnkey did so, it apparently
had results for the Chinaman decided
to confess to some more of his sins yes
terday morning.
He now denies that there is any
more of the loot not accounted for,
but as he said this Saturday night
Chief McDuffe believes that he will
''think of some more" by this morn
ing. IF the case turns out the way the
police now believe it will, it win be
shown that between $4,000 and $4,000
worth of stock was stolen from the
Fort street firm
The law on the reception of stolen
goods, which may be invoked, is new
statute passed by the last legislature
and is very strict one.
