Scientists
Entertained

A luncheon was given at the Uni
versity Club to Drs. Day and Shep-
pard, the two visiting volcanologists,
yesterday afternoon. Among those
present were Governor Frear, Hon. e.
A. Mott-Smith, President Gilmore,
Gerrit Wilder, Mr.. Stokes of the
Bishop Museum, DR.. Cooke, Harold
Dillingham;, Professor Blackman, Mr..
Dowsett and G. r. Hemenway. At
the conclusion of the repast Mr.. Hem
enway introduced the guests of honor,
who each spoke of his anticipated
work in connection with the island
volcanoes. DIR. Sheppard explained
that they were engaged in a mission
undertaken by the Carnegie Institute
to determine certain questions in vol
canology. AS the institution was one
devoted to pure research work and
was not trammeled with a student
corps, it was free to pursue original
lines of research work, such as that
now being started. Among other
work of the institution which would
be probably well known, was the non
magnetic survey ship and the astru-
nomical observatory at Mt. Wilson.
He would, however, prefer to be
judged by what he should accomplish
in the future rather than by >long
presentation OF merely what he would
desire to do. He hoped to nave the
opportunity of explaining more spe-
cifically his work after accomplish
ment had been achieved. DR.. Shep-
pard spoke upon the physio-chemical
work of the Kilauea laboratory which
had been accomplished last summer,
and spoke in particular Of the. ther-
NAL properties of the crater One of
the interesting phenomena which has
been observed was the peculiarity of
the lava Of being able to flow in a
plastic condition at degree far be-
low its melting point. The visiting
scientists are remaining for but a
short time in Honolulu. being booked
for Maui en- route to Kilauea by this
afternoons boat.

MANILA MAY TAKE
TOBACCO FROM HAWAII

Seeking a cigar wrapper which will
take the place of the expensive
Sumatra leaf used for the purpose,
Heinrich Muller, manager of The La
Prueba cigar factory at Manila, hopes
to find in the Hawaiian Islands a leaf
that will answer the purpose. Mr..
. Muller arrived here on the last
steamer from the Orient following a
clew contained in shipment of leaf
tobacco from Honolulu. These speci-
mems contained a wrapper leaf which
in every outward way resembles the
Sumatra product, although it has not
been thoroughly tested as yet.
The consignor of the shipment was
unable to state where the priced leaf
was grown save that it was some-
where in the Hawaiian Islands, for it
had been received by him without
any accompanying name or message.
The specimen submitted so inter
ested Mr.. Muller that he took the
first ship for the Hawaiian Islands,
and is now engaged in trying to To-
cate the plantation which produced it,
81 don't want to raise any false
hopes in the breasts of tobacco grow
ers here" said Mr. Muller this morn
ing, "but If a wrapper can be pro-
duced in Hawaii which will equal the
Sumatra leaf you can rest assured 1t
will find a ready market.
"The specimen leaves which we re-
ceived indicated outwardly that they
would come up to the specifications
as to quality, but of course the price
would have to do with 1t. The cigar
manufacturers of the Philippines are
seeking a wrapper equal to the
sumatra but which will not prove as
expensive.
AT the present time we are pay
ing over 81 gold kilo duty on the
wrappers imported from Sumatra
which are expensive without the duty.
Now if we can get good substi-
tute here we could use it without the
duty and the difference between duty
and no duty. would permit of us pay
ing a price which would make up for
the cost of labor here as compared |
to sumatra and yet give a profit on
both sides.
