PRIESTS GHOST STORY
BEGAN WITH THRILLS, BUT
ENDED VERY TAMEL.Y,
All the Material for Really Excellent
Experience With Spirits Seemed
to Be There Until the Touch of
Materialism Developed.

Doctor Walsh, lecturer and nerve
specialist tells the following story
in one of his series of talks on ghosts,
dreams, premonitions. After this tale
it will be unnecessary to say that the
doctor has never seen ghost himself.
An old clergyman dwelling alone
with his housekeeper and her sister
in a rather lonely part of little coun-
try town was awakened late one night
by loud ring at his front doorbell.
In a moment the priest was utof bed
and preparing to go on what he OK.

Again very shortly came another
ring at the bell. Surprised that the
housekeeper, who slept on the ground

two astonished women turned to him.

they exclaimed

elder, hen-swhen ii rang again we
were both near the door and opened
it Immediately and there was nothing
around"
As they were speaking the hcij rang
again and the women in alarm chung
to each other. Boldly the priest
opened the door-still no one in sight.
1t was a clear starlight night and
the house stood in an empty space.
Very cautiously he explored every p0r.
tlQn of the grounds, piazza and house,
but not even footprint could he find,
AS he was entering the door after his
search the bell rang again, and as he
was in full view of the bell he was
forced to admit that no visible human
agency rang it. He had great diff

Effect Of paint on corroslon Of Iron

Effect Of Paint on corrosion OF Iron.
According 10 the rather surprising
results obtained by two German chem.
lists, M. Liebreich and L. Splitter, who
were experimenting with paint as a
preventive OF the corrosion If iron, 1t
seems that ore coat Of good paint or
vernish Is much superior to two or
more coats. In thoir experiments a
second coat proved absolutely detri
mental. The experiments consisted In
painting well polished steel bars with
enc or more coats and suspending the
bars oyer. boiling water for four days
Half of the coating was then removed
and the barred metal we'll covered with
yaseline To prevent oxidation. III each
case where only one coat of paint had
been applied the bars remained Az
brilliant and rust free as before the
test. but in the case of two or more
coats, corrosion hadtak place. The
Investigators Will not commit them
selves as to the explanation of this,
but Ii may be that % coating Of several
layers provides less flexible cover,
more liable to crack, thus allowing
oxidizing agents to penetrate to the
metal surface. A@t 4's

much to say in favor of the corset,
but two Berlin medical men, Professor
Felix Hirchfeld and Adolf Loewy have
just come forward in championship OF
that sorely abused garment True, their
advocacy is of limited and qualified
character, but so far as goes it is quite
whoiehearted, for they have satisfied
themselves that for certain type Of

consumption the use of corsets may
act as a preventive of that disease

ed from Thrum's Annual for 1912.
| have not the reports from the
United States as a whole and think a
comparison with them would be inter-
esting.
From the table it is seen that while
the deaths to every 100 births among
the Japanese in Hawaii are nine less
than in Japan, among the English
there are twelve more deaths per 100
births than in the United Kingdom.
Comparative statistics of the fon
large islands of Hawaii show Kauai
with only forty-eight deaths to every
100 births Cmuch less than Japan on
the United Kingdom), while Maui has
about the same rate as the United
kingdom, and Hawaii the same rate
as Japan Honolulu County from its
large number of Hawaiiansl is com

going fast, in Honolulu the rate being
259 deaths to every 100 births and l7'
deaths to every 100 births for all the
islands.
The part Hawaiian looks like the
coming race if these tables mean any
thing, for in Honolulu forty-seven only
die to every 100 births, while all the
islands show only thirty-eight to every
100 births. This beats Japan by "A

per cent, and the Americans here by
50 per cent.

IN RISING
CONTINUED from page One)
Another Report.


A rumor is circulating among en-.
cheering men connected with the
Pearl Harbor work that the new dry
dock is again endangered by the ris-
ing of the bottom, and that the at
tempt to hold it down with piling has
been unsuccessful. An engineering
man connected with another branch
of the work asserted yesterday that,
while an attempt is being made to
keep the latest developments in the
dTydock trouble secret until measures
have been taken to prevent the piles
from rising further it is generally adj
mitted that they have already NOV ed
three or four inches and that, if this
upward motion cannot be stopped ~
weighing with pig iron and cement,
the whole enterprise may prove a
failure.
1t was believed that the old troubles
with the bottom under the dock had
been solved when the cribbing of
12X12 piles was put down, and recent
official reports have all contained the
assurance that the device was work
ing satisfactorily, but, according TO
this persistent rumor, the piling has
not kept the bottom down. 1t is said
further that an attempt will be made
to weight it down by building timber
frames and filling in with pig iron
and cement. If this fails it may be
necessary to find a new site for the
dock and begin the expensive work of
construction all over again.
There were a number of visitors to
the drydock yesterday from Homo
lulu, who went out to see the pump
ing, and who were told by workmen
on the dock that the bottom had come
up three inches. The pumping was
stopped until IL o'clock in the morn
ing, when the dock was practically
dry and ten feet of water was allowed
to run in again. This measure, as it
was explained to the visitors, was to
test the weight and pressure neces-
sary to hold the piling down.
Walter Dillingham;, OF the b. F. Dill
lingham Company, acknowledged this
morning that there were difficulties
with the bottom of the drydock, but
refused to discuss the matter or 10
give any details until he had had a
full report from the superintendent OF
the work.
The report which I received" said
Mr.. Dillingham;, was so meager that
do not care to make any statement
until know just how serious the
trouble is. I have asked for a full
report and am expecting it at any
moment"

PUNCHBOWL TRACT
BEING DIVIDED

Territorial Surveyor Wall is laying
out the Punchbowl tract in lots that
will be made as much like the exist
ing ones as possible. The people who
are occupying these lots will have
preference rights, and will get the
first opportunity to buy Still other
persons who although residing on the
lots, have not complied with all the
conditions, will have no preference
rights, and will have to bid at public
auction for the lots.
The lots will be divided so as 20
provide as much as possible for both
classes of people, and the shape and
size of the land will be carefully con
sidered.
Other land matters are progressing
well, and the commissioner, G. S.
judd, is busy at present. On Febru.
airy 20 the lease of 1853 acres of land
at Wailuku plantation will be offered
for SALE The land has been under a
ten-year lease to the sugar company
and the lease expires on June /, 1913
The plantation has just taken the
crop off the land and, naturally, wants
to know if the lease can be renewed
for ten years more. The annual rent
in the past has been S541, and the
plantation is now willing to pay $3.50
per annum.
AS the land is valueless without
water, the probabilities are that it vii
be again leased by the plantation
