SALAMANDER SUPERSTITION.
How the Reptile May Have Got Its
Fireproof Reputation.


There is Il very ancient belief that
the reptile known as the salamander
is proof against fire 1t is not known
how this superstition had its rise, but
it will probably always continue to be
held by some people, although it has
been cOnclusively shown that the fire
proof qualities Of the creature exist
only in Imagination.
Dr. Stcincger. rCptilian expert at the
Smithsonian institution. tells a story
hich may furnish Il reason for the
continuance of the belief in question.
"Once / was camping out" he says,
with "A party of friends, hunting and
fishing. We had lighted big fire.
using for fuel several old logs. While
we were seated around watching the
progress of some cookery in which we
were engaged young lady at my
side gave Il little scream and pointed
into the flames. | looked. and there
was small salamlnder crawling
right out from among the glowing
emberS. 1t walked away unhurt and
made its escape.
Now, that Salamander had occu-
pied n hoe in one of the logs used

bcrs. But the sight of the lizard de
Iiberafcly making its appearance from
the midst OF the fire was certainly
very surprising. Any ignorant person
might easily have been led to imagine
that the creature was freproof. II
seemed to me quite probable that the
superstition took it's origin from Just
such occurrences" - New York World.

EXQUISITE PAIN.
Tho Fifth and Dental Nerves Are the
Most Agonizing ThriIlers.

Tho Fifth and Dental Nerves Are the
Most Agonzing ThriIlers.
Which part OF the human body is the
most sensitive TO pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri-
tation IS not pain, but only frequent
cause OF it, Thus a crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent irritation and prolonged
coughing. which often result in actual
pain. So, too, a fly or speck of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation, followed by acute pain.
OF the surface Of the body the finger
tips and the end OF the tongue are nAost
sensitive. For instance, a burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be- while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful. as
rule. save rs regards the surface in
jury or pains not caused by external
injuries neuralgia OF the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin Of the
head and face, Is the most intense. 1t

John O. Wood. Il former resident OF
Honolulu. has been mixed up In the
Tripoli affair. Word comes from the
seat of war that wood, as American
consul at Tripoll-in- Barbary. prevented
a panic there when the news was given
out that the city was to be shclled by
the Italians.
According to advices. he refused to
leave the city when given an oppor-
tunty to do so and was the means of
preventing the sacking OF a number of
warehouses. The courage he displayed
throughout the bombardment, when
shells burst dangerously near, kept mp
the spirits of those about him and
avcrted panic among the inhabitants.
The correspondent says:
Several shells fell into the town.
One 6-inch shell fell near the American
consulate. Mr.. Wood had just left the
veranda on the premises Of the Eastern
Telegraph Company when n fragment
of shell crashed through the window

Now that the season is at hand

II the man at the head of the Depart
ment of Public Works is unfamiliar

ment might hoodwink the Honolulu
citizen. who Is by nature an easy mark
for corruptness. but such procedure
won't work on Kauai. and the sooner
this fact penetrates the noodles OF
those foxy individuals, the smaller
will become their chance for call
