Wild animals and the damage they
do make an interesting chapter In
the blue book OF India, The latest sta,
tistlcs are for the year 1909-publlc
documents are proverbially slow in ap'
pearing -and there, carefully set
down, are statistics showing that IN
one year snakes killed 19.700 persons,
tigers devouring an even 900, leopards
300, wolves 270 and other animals 6S6
When 1t comes to cattle and other
farm animals. the leopards were most
destructive, since they made way
with $4,000. tigers coming next with
2S,0O0 wolves with 10000, while
snakes have only $500 charged against
them
But man was not altogether lazy
since he killed 10000 serpents and
1890 tigers, leopards and wolves.

TO KEEP OUT THE DUST
VeII-Llke Cloth That VIII Relieve
Housekeeper of Much Worry
and Labor.

There is a perennial joke about the
dust gathering on a mantle where the
mistress calls the attention Of the
fact that she "can write her name in
It," getting an answer, with the In
herent wit. of how great it must be
to have the advantage Of an educa-
ton"
If one were to look further into
this it will also be seen that 1t Is
necessary for one to become educated
to the requirement or remedy that
the fact of the dust's presence indi-
Gates and that requirement is the ex-
Guiding of the dust to the best OF
ones knowledge and ability.
AS the wire screen is manufac-
tured to exclude the fly. so is there a
veil-like cloth texture OF net, though
slightly rougher and much cheaper,
which can be applied to the use OF
keeping out the ever present dust to q
very great extent.
The low price of this article. which
can be purchased at almost any dry
goods store or counter. places 1t with
in the reach of practically everyone,
and when one thinks of the fearful
toll of human life that dust-carried
germs are wont to take, there will be
no hesitation in applying this as well
as any other remedy that may come
to our notice during our daily routine.
This material can be tackled on the
inside of screens and If one resides on
very dusty street 1t can be doubled
for better effect. AS it does not ex-
clude the light or air but is effective
where the dust is concerned. 1t will
be availed of all the more quickly
when it is known that it also pre-
cludes the entering of the much-hated
malarial mosquito.
Where the dust is extremely heavy
in the street 1t is the best plan to do
all the ventilating only from the back
of the house and 1t is seldom that
draughts cannot be caused to clean
out the air in the veriest cranny-like
] closet or wardrobe

The Mlnht Of One Man.

The dwellers IN Kensington's most
charming and Old World square can
now sleep O nights without fear that
the too enterprising fiat" builders
will encroach on the green turf and
igreener trees of Edwardes Square and
turn 1t into wilderness of bricks and
mortar Forand this is where the
Edwardes Squareites score-there still
exists the old charter. which provides
that so long as there is male resi-
dent in the square the property must
be left intact This Ia a great Joy to
the dwellers thereon. many OF whom
have promptly proceeded to become
absolute owners of their houses -

In the original Bible the same word
is used for salt and for oil or asphalt
because both came from springs, and
both are obtained from the Dead Sea,
and when asphaltic oil is substituted
for salt in the well-known quotation,
IF the salt (oil) have lost his SAVIOR
volatile portion) wherewith shall it
be salted? it is thenceforth good for
nothing (asphalt) but to be cast out
and to be trodden under foot of men. ;"
This sounds phophetic in view Of the
thousands of miles of asphalt pave
ments in modern cities. Far more inn
portant, however, is the use, now in
it's infancy but rapidly increasing, of
asphaltic oils for sprinklfng over mac
adam roads to prevent dust and obyi-
ate the damage done by rapidly mov-
ing automobiles in tearing out the sur
face. The secretary of agriculture, in
his address to the first National Good
Roads Congress, mentioned this treat
ment as solving the important prob
lem of rapid automobiling over mac
adam roads.
Four kinds of asphaltic oils are now
prepared for this, special purpose by
taking the volatile matter out of Texas
oils and other similar asphaltic oils,
until the residue contains 80 to 60 per
cent of asphalt, the product according
with the requirements.
Chiefly because of the demand for
oil for this use the production of nat
ural asphaIts as well as "oil asphalts'
is rapidly increasing, as is shown in
pamphlet on production os asphalt,

Telephone Conversations az Evidence.
In recent case It was admitted
that telephone conversation had TAX

was claimed on the part OF the de-

the conversation could testify only to
what he said and could not testify TO
what he heard through the telephone,
presumably upon the ground that he
might have misunderstood what the

WA|LUKu CHURCH
OPENED At LAST

The new building of tho Wailuku
Union Church, which has been in course
of construction for many months, was
dedicated last Sunday afternoon, says a
mail despatch from Maui, received yes
terday.
The pastors and delegates from the
different churches throughout the ISL
ands began to arrive Friday evening,
those from Hawaii coming on the
Mauna Kpa, and those from Honolulu
/, being on the Claudine Saturday morn
ing. The first service Saturday after
noon was the council for theological ex-
animation of Rev. r. b. Dodge. AT this
meeting the council We're unanimous in
their expressions, as to the fitness of
Mr.. Dodge TO be installed as pastor of
the church.
The dedication service, which took
place Sunday afternoon, was most inn
prcssive A great many of the visit
ing clergy assisted at this service. The
church was well filed, though not
crowded, and by actual count there
were 1926 people present. Special music
had been prepared for the occasion,
and with Miss Mary Hoffman presid-
ing at the organ, the music of the
choir swelled forth in gladstone rich
ness to the waiting audience.
The dedication sermon was preached
by Rev, DIR. Scudder of Honolulu. He
took for his text the words: "If
imam desirethJ the office of n bishop, he
desireth good work. He told his
hearers that in order to be real pas
tor man must be continuous worker
"a doctor, a lawyer, friend, adviser
and minister all combined in one
Doctor Scudder was listened to at
tentivcly throughout his discourse, and
mo doubt many of his hearers went
away profting from the lesson taught.

SHIPPING OF HILO
STEADILY GROWING

The steady increase of the shipping
of Hilo, which has been marked for
several years past, continued last year.
The increase of the 1911 shipping
amounted to about $4,000 tons, that of
1910 to 10000 tons above that of 1909.
The increase Of last year was remarka.
Bile in view of the fact that for several
months in the latter part of the year
the vessels of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company we're withdrawn
from this port.
The number of vessels which entered
the port during the past year reached
total of 90.

The first step in the proposed
changes will be to cut down the num-
Der of present army posts by sixteen.
These posts viii be abandoned com
pletely, the property moved and the
sites, where advisable, sold by the gov
eminent
Plan Concentration.
Next viii follow the concentration
of the military forces at eight greatly
enlarged army posts, as yet undesig-
mated. These posts will be improved in
every way possible, consistent with
economy, says the secretary's report.
Indeed one of the main objects of the
present plan is to save. Secretary
Stimson believes that with the altera-
tions and systems he proposes, in opera
tion the government will effect saw
ing of at least $5,5O0,00O annually.
In speaking of Hawaii the secretary
urges its immediate fertilization to q
very high degree of efficiency. He de-
clares that the Hawaiian Islands hold
the key to the Pacific Coast of the
United States and South America.
With this fact kept in mind, proceeds
the report, it becomes necessary to use
all possible expedition that 1--WE may
be prepared for war, should the need
arise at any time"
Continuing Mr.. Stimson says that
there is no intention of abandoning the
posts of real strategic value on the
Philippine Islands, but they win be re-
duced in number, while those that are
retained will be improved in every
way.

PUSHING WORK ON
FAIR BUILDINGS

SAN DIEGO, January 16.--It is with
a good deal of pride that San Diego
is showing visitors progress on the
building of the Panama-California Elk
position, to be held in this city through
out the year 1915. Workmen are bust
ly engaged on the first building, which
has just received the roof and is to be
completed this spring. II is to be used
as the general Offices of the exposition
company. and stands on an eminence in
Balboa Park almost in the center of
the city of San Diego. From its roof
one can see vista of land and sea,
80 miles in all four directions, the pur-
pie mountains of Mexico to the south,
the Pacific ocean to the west, the
Sierras TO the east and the coast line
TO the north. Workmen also are work
ing ON the west entrance, where will
he bnilt q memorial arch which the
Masonic bodies of the State of Califor-
mia will dedicate next April.
The flower gardens and propagating
farm in Balboa Park where the exposi-
tion nurserymen are busy growing mil
lions of trees, ferns, palms and vines
for decorations of the exposition
grounds are attracting attention. One
of the most beautiful of the buildings
will be the forum, in imitation of an
Client Greek and Roman auditoriums.
Three sides will be open through which
the sound of the concerts and the ad-
dresses Of noted lecturers will reach
thousands of listeners seated on the
grass, the whole shaded and decorated
with beautiful and rare trees. A great
organ is to be built into this forum;
il will be the third building completed,
according to present plans. Over three
thousand palm trees have just been
planted in the canyons that lead up to |
the auditorium, over which the spec
tator may view the ocean, mountains |
and city, a vista that travellers say |
equals that at Naples, Italy.
