Actual demonstration Of scientific
road making was begun yesterday at
the College OF Hawaii under the per
sonal supervision of President Arthur

Starting at the junction Of Male
way and Vancouver highway. the new
road will run down in front of the col

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.
Work of Uncle Sans Board That Re.
vises and Corrects Them.

vises and Corrects Them.
An obscure but interesting, gov
ernment institution is the United
States geographic board at WASH
ington. Not many people know Of
its work, which consists in deter
mining for the government depart
ments the correct names that are
used in postal guides, in official re-
ports and on maps.
A great many things interfere
with uniformity in geographical
nomenclature. The postoffice de-
partment sometimes calls a postof-
flee by name that does not CORE
spond to the name of the town
where that postoffice is.
Then there is the corruption of a
name that comes with time. Lon
don's 'Rotten Row." which was orig
inally "Route du Roi," is perhaps
as remarkable an example as can be
found anywhere. Thus Coanjock
bay, in North Carolina, becomes by
local usage Coinjack; Minister, in
Ohio, becomes Minister, and Rol-
land, in Michigan, becomes Row
land. Sometimes these corruptions
are so generally accepted that they
take the place of the original. Thus
Valcken Eylandt Falcon island,
named by the Dutch in 1914, is
corrupted into Fawkner's island,
then Falkner's island and finally
Falkland's island. The accepted
name at present is Falkner island,
and this name has the sanction OF
the geographic board. -
Where there has been an abso-
Lutte change from one name to an
other the board consults local feel
ing, and if the verdict is nearly
unanimous it follows local usage.
SUsually such changes are in the Ill
Erection Of greater refinement. Thus
sHog- island in Maine has become
.Appedore island, and Hog island in
Long Island sound is now known as
Center island: Sometimes the de-
sire to change a name is Inspired by
9other motives. Fhe people Of Nir-
.ginia, wishing to honor the memory
of the first state geologist, attempt
ed to change the name Of ELLIOTT
knob to Rogers knob. But, since
the first name was we'll established,
the board gave it sanction, and Ell
lott Knob is now official.
In some cases confusion arises be-
cause explorers have discovered"
the same spot and given it different
names. Cape Disappointment, on
the coast of Washington, got its
name from Meares IN 1888. Four
years later Gray named it Cape
Hancock, and for some time it was
known indifferently as Cape Han
cock OF Cape Disappointment. The
original name has now been ne
stored.
The board exists only by virtue
p of executive order and has never
: been recognized by congress: Its
members are officials from few Of
the departments and bureaus at
Washington, who serve without
compensation. Youths Compan-

Jeddah, which was wrongly reported

cruiser, is most important town for
the entire human race, apart from be-
ing the principal landing place for pill
grims to Mecca. Just outside the city
is buried Eve. The reputed mother of
mankind, like good Moslem, lies with
her feet toward Mecca. Her grave has
gradually grown in size, and is now of
huge dimensions. Burton calculated
that our first parent measured 1870
