FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa ana
Hawaii, by an AdmIrer.

1t is learned that a number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have oeen
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session Of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater Of Savaii or the pit of
kilauea in Hawaii a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
OF Maui. of considerable length. but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

City of Surprising Growth.

How much do you know about the
South American city of Sac Paulo?
This Brazilian town, the capital OF the
great coffee growing state of the same
name. now has an estimated popula-
ton of 100000; and 1t is anticipated
that within fifteen years it will reach
the million mark. Although 1000 new
houses were erected in the city during
the last year, the demand for houses
greatly exceeds the supply, owing to
the rapid increase Of population, and
rents are exorbitant. A magnificent
opera house, constructed by the
municipality, was opened last year
with a brilliant season Of Italian
opera. The old cathedral Is to be
torn down to give place to a new one,
which will cost $4,000, 900. and will be
one Of the notable churches Of the
world. Finally a vast scheme of city
improvements has been inaugurated,
under the advice of NJ Bonvard, archi-
tect for the city of Paris. It will in
clude splendid boulevards and via
ducts, asphalted streets, and a public
garden at an estimated total cost of
2O,00O,000, toward which the state
government has already appropriated
$3,500,00O.
