SAILOR CHARGED
SMUGGLER

A sailor under the charge of at
tempted smuggling OF opium into the
Philippines is being returned TO Ma
Mia as prisoner under guard in the
brig OF the United States army trans
port Sherman. now awaiting dispatch
for the Philippines at o'clock this
evening.
Marine engineers belonging to the
Sherman squad went on strike just be-
fore the troopship sailed from San
Francisco for Honolulu. and this morn
ing several of their number declared
that the differences would be definite
ly settled upon the return Of the Sher-
man to the Coast
Major Grant Of the Quartermaster
department was approached by the en-
gineers with a grievance which is
said to have been based upon the fact
that until recently it has been GUS
tomary for the engineers to eat at the
same table with the navigating Off
GERS of the Sherman. 1t is said that
Second Officer Martin did not like this
arrangement, so the mess was divided
and the men who make the wheels Of
the ship revolve were compelled to eat
at a table of their own. Hence the
strike
The Sherman returned a stowaway
Who had believed that he could shake
the dust Of Honolulu from his feet
by means of the transport Thomas.
The transfer of the stowaway was ef-
fected at sea.
The Sherman arrived at Oceanic
wharf shortly before 8 o'clock last
night, and stevedores proceeded to
take out $50 tons quartermaster sup
plies and place $50 tons of coal aboard
without delay.
The Sherman brought a rather small
list of passengers for Honolulu, and
the number continuing the voyage to
Manila is not large.
Among the enlisted men proceeding
to the Philippines are 131 casuals of
the United States Army, so men Of
the United States Marine Corps, 81
men for the United States Navy and
several civilians.

radius from. the target that means
a hit, only one actually landed in

counts as bona 'fide hit on the rec
ords, However. there is a deduction
to be made for time, which win stfll
further cut down the percentage OF
the first days shooting.
Col Campbell, the umpire, ruled
this morning that the official time
required for firing the ten shots was
q minutes ! second. The time al
lowed Is one shot per minute. so that
the extra time counts as q penalty.
The delay was due to q misfire on
what should have been the ninth
shot, and, according to regulations,
the battery had to cease firing for
ten minutes, as q margin Of safety in
case the powder bag was slowly
burning. The actual time from the
command to open fire until the last
shot had been discharged was 81 min

While ! can't say that I'm entirely
satisfied with the firing, II was very
consistent, and much better than the
actual score shows" said Capt. Car.
ter, battery commander, this morning
after the shots had been carefully
plotted and the exact result known.
"All the shots were good for deflec-
ton, that il, to the right or left OF
the target. and there were five hits
for range. II Just happened. though,
that the best range didn't come at
the time Of the best DETECTION, and
while many of the projectiles landed
only few yards outside the circle,
they did not count. II we had been
firing salvos of four mortars, as
would be the case in actual warfare.
probably every shot would have been
a hit"
Firing tomorrow starts at o'clock,
when the target will be lowed through
the seventh zone OF fire, at q range
of about 5000 yards. The observa-
tons taken by the officer on the tug
as to the range, are supplemented by
photographs of the splash made from
the tug, these helping to check the
results accurately.

He was picked up quickly, none the

When Law, who had reached the
bridge in an auto, was climbing over
the rail to jump, policeman on the
fcotpath above saw him.
Hey! Where are you going?" shout
Ell the bluecoat. Law laughed at him
and called, Come over and ger me"
The policeman stormed and blew
his whistle, but before he could run

LONDON, Eng, July 27.-Archae-
ologists are f1ocking to see the ex-
hibits from the City of Meroe, the
ancient capital of the Kings Of Ethi-
opia, now on view at Burlington
House The arduous work Of the ex-
petitions dispatched during the last
three seasons by the University Of
Liverpool under Professor Garstang
has resulted in almost undreamt OF
discoveries. The great Sun temple
described by Herodotus, with the
huge altar, the so-called Table OF
the Sum-" has been discovered, and
in one of the palaces magnificent
head of Augustus was found. This
year the most important discovery
consisted of the royal baths, a we'll
planned block of large buildings.
These show that in the third century
B. c., the influence of Egypt on Eth
opia had begun to wane, as the royal
baths are a close copy of Graeco-Ro-
man baths. The greater part Of the
exhibit at Burlington House comes
from the baths.

HULA COSTUMES
ON SIERRA, BUT
THAT WAS ALL

SIN FRANCISCO. Aug. "A gay
frollc. which began as a masquerade
ball on the spacious afterdeck of TIE
Oceanic steamer Sierra Wednesday
evening, but which later received add
ed a gayety through the introduction
Of a number OF musical numbers,
came to an abdupt halt at the most
interesting act on the program.
The Gaby Glide had glided swiftly
by; the Sailors \Hornpipe, with a
number of the lady passengers garb-
ed as jolly tars, had drawn its round
of applause. when two other young
women who had made the round trim
to Honolulu suddenly appeared in the
native dress of the hula hula dancers
of Hawaii.
There was fierce elbowing Of pas
sengers to the front Of the group Of
spectators, much craning Of necks and
many warning giances from some Of
the married women among the specta-
tors. Likewise, there were a number
of "ohs!" and "ahs!" as the members
of the audience settled back for the
real treat of the evening.
A hula hula under the soft lights Of
the steamer in real native costume,
that was worth while, reasoned even
the most matter-of-fact persons on
board.
Disappointed Sure Not.
And then, just when everything
seemed, most suspicious for Jolly
caper, the musical show was brought
to sudden conclusion and the hula
dancers were cheated of their chance
to hula. 80. 49,
"Tffe truth of the matter was" said
zone Of those who had charge Of the
entertainment upon the Sierra's arri-
val today, 1.-THE ladies had no inten-
ton of giving an exhibition OF dane
ing. No provision was made for the
hula hula, and 1t Is absurd to say that
there was any disappointment on
board" e.. i
At the same time there were many
who felt that they had been deprived
OF the most interesting event OF the
evening. True, the Gaby Glide, the
favorite dance of Gaby 'Deslgs, had
not lacked for novelty and dash, but
a real hula at sea, that would have
eclipsed all previous records In the
history of the Sierra.
Identities Revealed. II
= What added to the spirit Of the oc-
casion was the fact that the identity
of the ladies was not known at the
time they appeared in their costume
of grass and leis. Masks Of pink and
blue, which had been cut out Of blot
ting paper, concealed their features
ard even their intimate friends could
not guess their names. -
! ( When the order came to unmask 1t
was found that the shorter Of the two
girl was Miss o. K. Franco, a pretty
Hawaiian belle, and that her compan-
ion was Miss Grace Hart of Southern
California. They had gone about the
fasf1foning of their costumes secretly
and their appearance created such a
decided impression that both were
awarded prizes for masking.
Others who took prominent part
in the masquerade were Miss A. Mel
ger, a sailor boy; Mrs. D.. M. McKim,
as a soldier, and e. ]. Harvey, a
member of the United States Mar
inc Corps, who essayed the role Of
society leader. "s:f-T 1< -.

LIoyd's Show New Record
Established.

A record in the history of shipping
construction is shown by the quar-
terly returns of Lloyd's Register of
Shipping On June 80 there were,
excluding warships, no less than 529
vessels of about 1,776,000 tons gross
under construction. This number in
cluded 429 steam vessels of /, 726, 900
tons, and 81 sailing vessels of II 200
tons. The total shows an increase of
$1,000 tons on the preceding quarter
and of $2S9,000 tons as compared
with year ago. 1t is perhaps less
satisfactory that warships under con-
struction' also constitute a record Of
$4,000 tons against the previous
highest of 454,100 tons in 1900.

DIFFERENT METHODS

1t is generally supposed that there
are many fundamental things, such as
mathematics, which must be exactly
the same everywhere. A scientist de-
clares in Popular Mechanics that this
is not strictly true, and shows that it
is possible and, in fact, very probable,
that simple arithmetic on Mars diff
fers much from that which is used on
the earth.

NEW PI AN TO LOWER
HIGH COST OF LIVING
II is the Overhead System Of Watering Crops On Farms
and in Gardens, Which Bids Fair to RevOlutlonlze
farming Methods and Place the Small Farmer On
An Equality With the Big Plantation and Ranch
Owners

SYSTEM furnishes a method for spray
ing Insecticides whenever needed with
a minimum of labor. This is really
one Of its greatest advantages. 1t
will also prevent damage from frost
TO crop and orchards.
Distribution is Even.
Not only is the exact needed amount
of rain distributed over the growing
vegetation at the least possible cost,
but it spreads it over every inch of
ground as evenly and gentle as does
natural rainfall. 1t further provides
the benefits secured when water is
sprayed through oxygen which cannot
be obtained through any other sys-
TEN Of irrigation.
From 80 to 95 per cen Of all vege-
tation is water. Thus, this system
provides this predominating asset to
h growing plant more perfectly
than does nature, and at the same
time it makes possible the use Of fer
tilizer in almost any quantity. The
enormous yields which are possible
by its use have proven that it is des-
tined to make a new era in the art
Of cultivation, and great departures
as get lot anticipated, will! probably
follow its general adoption.

Durham, Aug. 24.-The principals
Of the various county schools had a

which will gradually lead up to the
study Of agriculture in the higher
grades. The nature study in the lower
grades will deal with those tnings of

The custom OF wishing those whoa
We care for pleasant dreams at bed
time is Of deep scientific significance.
according to DR.. S. Freud. the Ger
man n~eurOlogist.
Contrary to usual belief. DR.. Freud
asserts that sleep with pleasant
dreams is more highly beneficial than
dreamless sleep. On awakening from
dreamless sleep he says that ono
usually feels dull and i~ndisposed for
the days work. Pleasant dreams. on
the other hand, by supplying a gcntlr
stimulus to the nerve cells OF the
brain, cause wholesome emotion.-so
that on awakening the sleeper is fill
ed with vigor and is eager for Tho
days work.
All dreams, according to DR.. Freud.
are Of pleasant origin. This well
known scientist has made an exhaust
i've study Of dreams. The meaning
which usage has attached to
the word "~dreamland' is fully JUST
fed, Dr.. Freud says because In our
dreams mortality occupies itself sole
" with either latent or active wishes
and their fulfllment. Released from
the brake which reason applies, tho

OF course, since the reasoning fac

Of dreams is likely to be absurd.
There are two psychic currents at

desires fulfilled.
II the wish is not very strong, il
may be inverted or reversed by criti-
clsm rendered by thu second psychic
current, and nay result in a dream
filled with horror, fear or loathins.
Not necessarily would there be an OBJ
v1ous association between the fear
