WEALTH FOR HAWAII
DISCOVERY OF RUBBER FOREST
MEANS MUCH.
Commercial World Deeply Interested
In Find Announced by 5otanlst-
One OF Many interesting Dis
coveries Recently Made.

The announcement of the discovery
OF a rubber forest In the Hawaiian is
lands is of interest when the resources
OF the worlds rubber supply seemed
to be all but Inadequate to meet the
increasing demands of commerce and
industry The discovery was made
last March by J. +. Rock, botanist for
h territory Of Hawaii, but pub
lie announcement has only now been
made, because Mr.. Rock wished to
make further research before giving
news of his valuable find to the pub
lie. Mr.. Rock tapped n of the trees
and an analysis of the fluid proved
1t to be IA per cent pure rubber.
The forest is we'll nigh ~inaccessi-
BILE, being located high up on the side

feasibility probably accounts for its
remaining SO long undiscovered. The
land on which the forest stands be-
longs to the territorial government,
but Is under lease for grazing pur-
poses, and the interesting question Is
now raised as to the rights of the
lessee to the riches of the rubber for
ests. Law Off cers OF the government
are looking into the question.
1t is strange that comparatively
small as these Hawaiian islands are
in area, new discoveries upon them
are constantly being made. This rub

ing discoveries Mr.. Rock has made.
One of the most beautiful, as well
as useful of the old trees and one
much in demand by cabinet makers
for its fine grained, satiny wood, Is the
ohia. One species of this tree, the
ohia-at, puts forth no tentative tendril
to bud, blossom and bear fruit. In
stead, the carmine blossoms burst
right out of the branches and drop
their petals to form long, apple shaped
red fruit, which, like the blossoms, OF
course grows straight out OF the
branches. Like many other of the is
land trees, the ohia is apt to break
out with blossoms any time of the
year, but 1t is particularly gorgeous in
Spring.
Then it is that the foliage-although
the tree is an evergreen-shows up in
a riot of scarlet and orange, while
from every branch hang myriads OF.

DEPICTS WOMAN AS HEROINE
Newspaper Of 1855 Gives story Of Mrs.
Martin, Who Was on Saratoga
Battlefield.

-
In view OF the fact that some re-
cent research that has been given
magazine and newspaper publicity has
tended to show hat all the fighters Of
the American revolutionary war were
not as patriotic or as brave as history
has set them down, a clipping In the
possession of C. L. Miller, a Princeton
citizen, is of interest just now In that
1t not only shows conclusively that
there were some" brave and intrepid
men in the American ranks, but 1t
brings out what is rare in history,
the recital Of woman's valor on the
field of battle in that momentous Pc
Rod. 1t also deals Maj. Gen. Horatto
Gates, American officer, a hot shot on
the bravery" displayed by him at the
battle Of Saratoga.
The clipping is from an original
copy Of the Troy IN. " Wing of No
vember, 1856, and is self-explanatory,
since it's words come from the lips OF
one who saw and participated in the
noted conflict at Saratoga. He says:
MRS. Margaret Martin, who is stop
ping at the residence OF her grandson
in this city. is 9S years of g She
is one Of the few remarkable women
of the revolution who took part in
the memorable occurrences Of the
struggle for American Independence.
Her husband, Gilbert Martin. was a
rgeon in the army Of h American
general, Gates, and was engaged in
the battle at Saratoga.
Mrs. Martin, then a very young
woman, was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle, and
terminating the defeat of the splen-
did army which Burgoyne a trans
ported with such immense labor and
expense from Canada, confidently an
ticipating that he would be able with
it to divide the army OF the patriots
and secure Sir Henry Clinton in his
possession of the southern line of de-
lenses.
Mrs. Martin represents the strug-
gle as most terrific. She says that
toward evening, when Burgoyne. mad
dened by the consciousness that all
his splendid schemes were about to be
defeated, directed his whole reserve
and cavalry force upon h feeble
army Of the patriots. the contestants
stood within half musket range of each
other and poured in their deadly vol
leys, while whole files OF either side
fell In their tracks, and still neither
gave one inch.
Toward evening DR.. Martin was
wounded in the shoulder, and while
his wife was in the act Of affixing a
bandage she Herself was wounded in
the hand. Says She: Gilbert sprang
up like q chaffed lion. Peggy" said
he, "Tll go and teach those cowardly
fellows better manners than to shoot
a woman" And l saw him no more
till the fight was over
"Of such material were the men I'M

common energy Of character. Her
frame still exhibits evidences OF

day or speaks of that cowardly Gates,
who stayed safe and sound all day in
his tent, and cared not for the men

Impure Seeds.

1t is high time that farmers should
know what they SOW on their land.
When clover is wanted, nothing else
should be sown; when red top is
wanted, only this species should be
scattered over the land.
But people have beer far too care
less. They have bought blind1y and
sowed the seed without knowing
what they were planting. At the Con-
necticut experiment station a sample
Of clover seed was examined that con-
tanned $4,000 weed seeds to the
pound. Seed of this kind would be
extremely dear as a gift.
Know what o are buying, and buy
only pure seed.

but his aged parents objected to it..
One morning he was sent to drive the
cows TO pasture, and told to bring
them home at night, but that night he
did nos come back. He had run away
and enlisted. He remained away for
three years without a furlough, and
returned with the regiment unframed
by rebel bullets. He arrived at the
old pasture one night just at Cow
time and leisurely drove up the same
old COWS.

Use of spreader Best.

The piling of manur in small lots
as it is hauled afield may have some
points in it's favor, but from the
standpoint of realizing the largest
possible good from the fertilizing
elements contained it is plainly a
poorer method than scattering from the
spreader.
Handled in this way, the soluble
portion of the fertilizers that the
n contains soaks at once into
the soil, while if ,ne manure is put
in piles there is a loss by chemical
changes and the escape of CAGES.

this, 1t may be that the tract is not

Rye az a Summer Cover.

There are farmers who SOW rye in
the corn during the last cultivation.
The rye makes a summer cover, util-

be wasted under the influence of the
summer sun; it makes fine grazing
for pigs, calves, horses and cows in
early fall and during winter; it sup
plies the soil with needed humus when
the land is turned. This is not by
any means a bad practice.
