the position as if it were merely a pri-
vate concern and that it would not
make extensions unless the extensions
would pay for themselves. That has
never been my position nor that of
any of the directors of the road since
it was first opened.
Whatever financial aid we have
had on extensions from real estate
promoters has been offered in the ex-
pectation of enhancement of land
values by reason of such extensions.
which have been realized far beyond
the expectations of the subscribers.
81 infer from the governors COM
munication that the liberal policy thus
far pursued toward the public by the
present owners and managers of the
enterprise is in sharp contrast to that
of the former London-owned tramways
company, and that 1t would be unfor-
tunate for this community if the pres
emit control should pass into the hands
of mainland or European owners.
Right here | would ask, what would
he more likely to produce such re-
suit than the thinly-yeiled policy of
persecution outlined as possibility
by the governor, even though it Turk
in the background of his article?
LET me say in conclusion. the
changes of stock manipulation re-
ferred to by the governor are mag
mary. There is not a dollar of water
in our stock issue. The company
owns property to an amount exceed
ing S2,000,0 900. Its bonded indebted
ness is less than 100000. It's total
issues of preferred and common stock
are but slightly in excess OF 81 ,200,-

MILITARY night
OF GRANDOPERA

The Lambardi Grand Opera company
has planned to make next Tuesday a
military night, and with a view to pre-
senting an opera that will be of spe-
cial interest to the military forces
here, will produce Giordano's histor-
ical masterpiece, Andrea Chenier," a
story based upon an incident of the
French revolution General Macomb,
the department commander, heartily
approves of the plan, and will himself
attend the production. Lieut.. Col.
Campbell, department adjutant, has
sent out notices of the event to all
the posts on Oahu, and it is expected
that there will be large turnout of
army people.
The following special cast of prin-
cipals is to be heard: Mmmes. Ada
berto, Fox, Pineschi, Charlebois; Mes
srs. Agostini, Nicoletti, MARITIME, Graz
iani, Marco, Pineschi.
Of unusual interest to opera goers,
and more especially to those interest
ed in military affairs will be the pro-
duction of Giordano's famous MASTER
piece, Andrea Chenier." Those ia
miliar with French revolutionary his
tory will undoubtedly recall the name
of Andrea Chenier," the heroic poet
who, with Rousseau and other ency-
clopedists laid down the principles of
that event Like other heroes of that
awful era, Andrea Chenier was the
victim of his principles, and died on
the guillotine at the hands of those
revolutionists who, misunderstanding
his noble ideas, terrorized Europe by
their wholesale 'butchery and blood
shed.
1t is an episode of love that gives to
the libretto the main attraction and
to the music the most beautiful inspir-
alton, but the opera throughout is SO
closely connected with the history of
the time, that it IS one of the most per-
feet reproductions ever staged. 1t
gives clear idea of the corrupted
and degenerated French society on
the eve of the massacre, together with
a true and realistic description of
those bloody and awful days when the
lives of the people we're at the mercy
of the heartless reyolutionists.

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
S~7natorlum Where the tuberculosis
May De Cured Is Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. H. l.. Barnes, superintendent of
the Rhode Island State sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in.
teresting studies OF patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that in
stitution, that a sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $102,752,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to $112,-
OIL. BY applying the same average
earning to all eX-patients Of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes hat their income in
these W years was 1851, 600. This
sum is more than three times the cost
Of maintenance of the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments."

to continue serving the dinner.

During my visits 1 never saw more than a dozen
of these interesting little birds. Their breeding
places are among the boulders on the most access
sible parts of the shore, and an egg collector, who
has lived a great number Of years at AkureyTi
the principal port on the north coast of 1celand)
boosted to me that there were no little auks left
breeding In Grimsey, as he had taken every egg.
Fortunately, a few have escaped him. but the
birds have evidently enormously decreased since
the island was visited by Hantsch, the German
naturalist.
white summer plumage, were the commonest
birds round the huts. Red-necked phalaropes,
purple sandpipers, meadow pipits and ringed plo-
vers were very abundant Elder ducks nest all
round the dwelling houses, and are so tame that
the islanders stroke them when sitting on their
eggs.
The commonest of the cliff breeders are the
tulmars, pufins, kittiwakes, razorbills, and Brun-
nich's guiIemots. grey phalaropes. wheatears.
white wagtails, ravens and other birds are seen
in smaller numbers. About three hundred and
ten miles N.N.E. Of Iceland and two hundred and
forty miles from the coast of Greenland, lies the
Island of Jan Mayen. 1 had read about 1T in
various vooks of Arctic travels, and in 1910 sug.
gested half ~jokingly to my captain that I should
like to go there. AS the construction Of my
yacht is not adapted for encountering ice, he
treated my suggestion even less seriously than
I had hoped, and for the time being I had to
agree. However, the thought that ! had been
within twenty-stx hours. of that coveted goal lay
at the back of my second visit to Iceland the
following year, though I did not mention it until
I saw what the weather was like at Grimsey. I
took the precautfon Of providing myself with the
Austrian chart of Jan Mayen, which I knew my
captain would consider unnecessary. Owing to
bad weather. l had to wait some time at Akureyri

had been with the Inflated Mikkelsen expedition

but as the ice was SO pexr 1 told my captain that
I should like to go ana see it, and turn round as
soon as we met -.th 1t. AS we had perpetual
daylight this suggestion found favor. We went
over to Grimaes, where the inhabitants only con-
frmed what We had already heard, and expected
we should meet with ice about forty miles north
of the tsand. At 6 a. m on July 18th we weighed

we're right in front OF the Willie glacier, whicn

as we approached it in the dinghey, that there
was too much surf to allow Of our attempting 1T,
and l had to content myself with rowing along
within a few yards of the shore. Floating Ice
stopped us in one direction, and heavy surf in
the other. Numbers Of glaucous gulls were sit

very tame. Hundreds OF Brunnich's guillemots

nature of the soil, and the fact that the lava
slopes are less precipitous than the granite cliffs
where seafowl generally congregate, the usual
evidences of a great breeding resort were absent.
The glaciers are not as fine there as in Spitz-
bergen, as they are covered with lava dust. and
the wonderful blue ice, which is SO characteristic
Of that country, is absent. Neither are the tops
