would put the duty at four degrees
ahead of SO degree sugar, which is to

hundred for each degree) $2.425, thus
putting refined on a much stronger
protected basis than at present.
Should SO degrees be held to be the

make the duty so cents higher than

cents per hundred for Is degree
sugar, with an increase of duty by 80
cents per hundred pounds for each
polariscope degree above IS. Thus
SO degree sugar pays a duty of $1.6S5
per hundred pounds. Several leading
sugar men in town, concluding that
no change has been made in the 80
cents per hundred per degree, figured
that the Bristow amendment reduced
the duty on raws of all grades but
s cent per pound.
The receipt of Alexander e Bald.
wins cable yesterday proves this de-
duction to have been incorrect. It
stated that the duty on SO degree
sugar is to be SLABS instead of
$1.6S5 per hundred pounds, until
June 80, 1915; 1892 per hundred from
1915 till June 80, 1918; and after that
time $1.215.
1t would seem that these figures
have been obtained by changing the
duty per degree above Is degrees.
Thus starting with 80 cents per hun
bred for IS degree sugar, $1.425 for
90 degree sugar is obtained by taking
25 cents as a constant for each added
degree above IS.
After June 80, 1915, the duty
changes to $1.32 per hundred for 96
degree sugar, and this is obtained By
changing the constant from % cents
per hundred to 20 cents, for each de-
gree above IS. In like manner the
duty of SLIPS for SO degree sugar
which is to prevail after 1918, in case
the amendment should pass, is OBJ
tanned by making Is cents the con-
slant of increase.
Can Amendment Pass2
But what chance has the Bristow
amendment of passing? Sugar men
in Hawaii are divided upon this point.
It is a far cry from no duty at all,
as the House bill provides for, to a
reduction of but 20 cents per hundred,
as the Senate amendment would i'm
pose. Is there any chance in the
world that the free sugar" House
ever consent to compromise on such
a bisis? Or will the House turn down
the proposition and deadlock occur
which will result in no change being
made at all?
Both opinions are to be heard ex
pressed by local sugar men. Some
believe that the House members who
voted for the Underwood free sugar
bill were in many instances insincere
, and did so with the full belief tina
e such a measure could not pass. Tha

JAP SWORD ETIQUETTE.
Curious Customs Concerning the eIade
That N-ipponess unfailinsly Observe.

That Nipponese unfsiiinsly Observe.
In Japan until within recent times
the sword was considered a badge OF
the aristocracy. The etiquette that
regulated the wearing of the long and
the short sword was expressed In a
number of minute rules.
The most trivial breach of these mi
mute o~bservances was often the cause
Of murderous brawls and dread re-
prisals. To touch another's weapon or
to come into collision with the sheath
was a dire offense. and to enter a
friends house without leaving the
sword outside was a breach of friend
ship, notes Harper's Weekly.
He whose position justified the ac-
compartment of an attendant ihvaria-
bly, left the sword in his charge at the
entrance. or II he were alone 1t vas
usually laid down at the entrance.
If removed inside this was invaria-
bly, done by the hosts servants. and
it was not touched by the bare hand,
but with a silk napkin kept for the
purpose.
The sword was placed upon a sword
rack, in the place of honor near the
guest. and treated with all the polite
ness due to an honored visitor who
would resent a discourtesy.
To exhibit a naked weapon was n
gross insult unless when a gentleman
wished to show his friends his collec-
ton.
To express a wish to see q sword
was not usual unless the blade in ques-
ton was of great value, when a re-
quest to be shown it would be a com
pliment.
The sword would then be handled
with the back toward the guest, the
edge turned toward the owner and the
hilt to the left. the guest wrapping the
hilt either in the little silk napkin al
ways carried by gentlemen in their
pockets OF in a sheet of clean paper.
The weapon was drawn from the
scabbard and admired inch by inch,
but not to the full length unless the
owner pressed his guest to do so, when,
with much apology, the sword was en-
tirely drawn and held away from the
other persons present.
After being admired it would be
carefully wiped with a special cloth,
sheathed and returned to the owner as
before.
The short sword was retained in
the girdle, but at a long visit both host
and guest laid 1t aside.

BIRDS AS INcENDIARIES.
Strange Story Of How They Set Fire to
a Town In Germany.

Strange Story of How They Set Fire to
a Town In Germany.
How a flock of starlings set fire to a
small town in Wurttemberg is told in
the German Electrotechnical Review.
The town is lighted by electricity, and
one evening there was a series of ex-
plosions. Most of the fuses blew out,
and the people ran out of their homes,
some Of which were burned to the
ground. 1t was some time before the
true cause was ascertained.
1t happened thus: A hawk had been
chasing a flock Of starlings which had
sought refuge in a corner of the power
house and had crowded together in
terror between the overhead high ten
sion wires and a lightning conductor.
Thus a short circuit was established,
which would not have had serious con-
sequences had not the ground been In
an extremely dry and parched condi-
ton.
The absence of moisture In the soil
put the earth connection out Of action,
and the current had therefore to seek
another outlet, with the result stated.
1t was not until a little heap of car
bombed starlings and an electrocuted
hawk were found on the spot that the
mystery was cleared up.
