Floater found at Hart Dock.

The body of an unknown man was
found floating in the river near the Hart
Line dock last Sunday afternoon, sur.
rounded with hyaciths, and was with
difficulty taken out. The body had evi
IDENTIFY been in the water several days
and was badly decomposed-so badly
that it was almost impossible TO tell
whether he was white man or negro.
The body was badly eaten by crabs.
No marks of violence were found, and
4 jury empanneled for purposes of an
inquest could only say that the man
came to his death from drowning.
Ten cents was found on his person, but
no papers that would give clue to his
identity.
The body was buried in Oak Hill

Moon Blindness,

A naval correspondent of the Lon.
don Standard has written from Port
of Spain, Trinidad, stating that in his
travels he had come across many
cases of moon blindness, caused by
men sleeping with the moon shining
upon them, such cases occurring prin.
cipally in the tropics and the Mediter.
ranean.
Strange to say, adds the Trinidad
correspondent, men so affected can
see in daylight, but cannot do so when
dusk sets in. Mr.. Elgie further
quotes from a communication made by
a New Zealand correspondent to a
weekly scientific journal. This cor
respondent was, many years ago, an
apprentice on the Liverpool ship Lang
dale, an East India trader.
Once when the ship was between
st. Helena and the line some of the
crew slept on deck, fully exposed to
the glare of the brilliant moon. When
they awoke three of them were quite
moon blind. They had to be led about
at night and the ropes put into their
hands.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
NEARLY EVERY AILMENT HAS
THIS BAD EFFECT.
One Great Cause Is Eye-Straln From
Which City People Suffer Espe-
cialIy Because Their
Vision Is Restricted.

Almost every little or great ailment
throughout your system affects your
nerves. Your eyes and liver and lungs
and stomach and heart and many 9th
er things throughout your system all
take it out" on the poor nerves il
they happen to be bit out OF order
themselves.
Recent discoveries show that ninety
per cent of nervous troubles are due
to other disorders. Eye-strain is one
cause. Not only those who have to
use their eyes constantly, like stu
dents and lapidaries and miniature art
lists and engravers, but city folks who
live and work where their vision is
restricted are all sufferers from nerv-
GUS troubles, more or less.
The eye wants to get exercise as
we'll as the muscles. Living in narrow
streets and gazing out across little al
leys against brick walls, rushing into
narrow cars and hurrying into small
rooms, all keep the vision down to
narrow hints and pretty soon eye
strain sets in and this brings on nerv-
Gus trouble.
And one of the peculiarities of this
is that many people will not notice
that they have eye-strain because the
nervous disorder that results will be
so much worse than the cause. Eye
strain is much less common in the
country.
Working in stopped position, curv-
ing the spine, brings pressure on the
tiny blood vessels and this in turn
acts on the nerves. 81 get so nervous
sitting STILL" one will say. AS mat
ter of fact the continual pressure on
the spine reacts on the nerves AS
sedentary occupations are more COM
mon in the cities there is more nerv-
BUSINESS from this cause in cities.
Liver troubles bring on quick nerv-
Gus disorders; city noises in time eff
feet the ears and the nerves are again
in for a siege of trouble Not even at
night or during sleep is there COM
plete quiet in the city. Women be-
come irritable because of excessive
blood pressure, and again it is their
nerves that suffer-also every one
else about them is apt to suffer.

TAPEWORMS
Expelled by
PLANT .IIIICE

Many people thought TO be diving
from some lingering disease, such as
Consumption, are no doubt merely
victims of a stomach parasite which
is sapping their life away.
The common tapeworm symptoms
are: stomach distress, excessive cray
ing for food, loss of flesh, dizziness,
palpitation of the heart, and Convul-
SiOnS.
Plant Juice has been wonderfully
successful in completely removing
these pests and repairing the damage
they have done.
Plant Juice is 81 a bottle at all drug
giSts. Six bottles will be sent pre-
paid for $500.

TAAL VOLCANO
DRAWS PEOPLE

CAMP McGRATH, p. l., December
IA recent party to Taal volcano
reports the interesting fact that the
aspect of that very absorbing hole in
the ground has changed considerably
since the last reports came in. AL.
though no steam or vapor can be seen
issuing from the top of the volcano,
the water boi'S and bubbles in the
crater, state of affairs which has
been comparatively recent, for, less
than two months ago, the whole era
ter lake was reported to be absolutely
still. Others say that a slight steam
and gaseous vapor is arising on a still
morning when no wind is blowing.
Persons who visited the volcano sew
eral months previous to the great
eruption in the latter part of last Jan
uary many remember that exactly the
same conditions which prevailed at
that time are now present except the
exceedingly bright colors of the red
and green lakes which are not now in
existence. Whether or not another
eruption will take place is, of course,
problematical and can not be deduced
from these facts, for the same state
of affairs was present for many months
and years before the above mentioned
eruption, and had, at last, come to be
recognized as the natural and con-
tinuoUS state of the volcano. How
ever the volcano will always be OF
interest to the sight seer on account
of it's peculiar situation in the middle
of a great lake and also by its undis-
putable reputation as a death dealer.
Those composing the party were
Mrs Van Malta, as chaperon, the
Misses Johnson, Nicholson, Farman,
and Kingsbury, the latter being enter,
tanned by Mrs Donaldson at a delight
full luncheon before their departure
for the volcano. The party was es-
corted by Lieutenant Hardy, while
Captains Elliot and McNally, in com
mand of their respective troors, / and
X also joined the party. Another par.
ty composed of Lieutenants Carson and
Sayles, in command of their troops,
Mrs Carson, Mrs. Sayles, and Miss
Carson also went to Taal on Friday.
The ladies will not return to the post
until Monday.

JAPANESE DOING
Their own TRADE

Consul George n West, Kobe: A
japanese newspaper in Kobe points
out that while in the early days of
that port practically all of the for
eign trade was in the hands of resi-
dent foreign merchants, now more
than one-half is transacted by Japan.
csc merchants, although the total
volume of trade handled by the for
eign dealers is much greater than
ever before. OF the total trade Of
$2l,903,577 with the United States in
1910, only about per cent was han
died by resident Americans. OF the
total 1910 trade of $50, 467 1886 with
Great Britain, including British India,
l9 per cent was done by British firms,
while German houses handled about
no per cent of the trade, $13,473,369,
with Germany. Eight per cent of the
S33,240,772 trade with China in 1910
was in the hands of Chinese firms.
In 1910 the Japanese houses in Kobe
did only 23.4 per cent of the total for
eign trade, but in 1910 they handled
SOL per cent. The Japanese firms
still do less than the foreign firms in
the export trade, owing to the knowl-
edge of their customers needs pos
sessed by the latter
1t is observed that the percentage
of the foreign trade handled by for
eign firms is annually declining, the
reductions in the transactions of Ger
man and Chinese merchants being the
most noticeable. The decreased de-
mand for German cloths, owing 20
Japanese competition, is given as the
reason for the decline in the former
trade, while the increasing knowledge
of the Chinese markets is enabling
the japanese TO encroach upon the
transactions of the Chinese mer-
chants The English dealers gained
ground in 1910, owing to the exports
of large amounts OF rice, cotton,
shirtings, and sulphate of ammonia
from India

MURDERER IN JAIL;
JANUARY SECOND FATALISTIC DATE

he calmly admitted that he was the
man they were looking for and asked
the official to kill him at once.
Now the story behind this affair
proves that Mrs. Yamamoto had ad-
ventured several times in matrimony
and had also been owned and sold in
Oriental fashion by her murderer
She came here more than five years
ago to marry a man who was then
working in the Hilo tannery. They
were married in quarantine in Homo
lulu and shortly after her arrival
from Japan this first husband was
killed in an accident Then she came
to Lahaina and married a second hus-
band January 2, 1907. This man died
of apoplexy Immediately after the un.
ion. Marriage had not brought her
good fortune in her alliances, so she
the ceremony. Three years ago on the
second of January the husband who
survives her came to Lahaina from
Hawaii and bought her from Hazemo-
to for $3.50 She was quite willing to
make the change, for she had discov-
cred that Hazemoto had a wife in ia.
pan which prejudiced her against
him. Yamamoto shortly afterward
married the woman and they lived
contentedly together, but Hazemoto
regretted his deal and persuaded him
self that he was still in love with his
former affinity.
The murderer is a very small man
who shows all of his thirty-nine years
and is crowned with patch of gray
hair contrasting in a striking manner
with the thick black bristles about it.
He seems to feel no constraint in the
Jail and his smile is bright and genial.
