Though Olaa still leads the market
in point of activity, it is stationary at

CANNED MEAT -. -. M
Several large shipments of canned
meats from China and Japan, intended
for local consumption, have been re
fused entry into the territory by A. w,
Hansen, federal food Commissioners,
because they were not accompanied by
proper meat inspection certificates.
This is one Of the results of an ex-
haustive examination which has kept
Commissioner Hansen busy at the Gus
tom-house during the last several
months. In the matter Of canned
meats an inspection certificate is
proof that the animals from which the
meat was taken were subjected to ante
and post norton examinations by vet
erinarians of ability in the Orient, who
are accepted by the United States gov
eminent as being competent, Commits
sioner Hansen said today.
Every shipment of meat products
into the United States from a foreign
country must be accompanied by Ger.

Comparison.
This estimate is approximately Is
per cent less than the plan of tunnel
and pipe lines as proposed by the city
engineer at cost of s3S,500.
The ditch has the great advantage
of conveying all the flood waters as
well as the normal flow, without loss
by seepage. 1t also drains approx
mately one-third more watershed, and
as the ditch is to be lined with cement
it will be of more permanent ma
ture.
Value. 80
The value of $50 million gallons of
water delivered at an elevation Of 1923
feet above sea level into the Nuuanu
reservoir is certainly worth at least
$4,000 per annum for power, domestic
and irrigating purposes.
The total cost of the proposed con-
duit is placed at s24,955. On this ba-
sis the first cost of the conduit would
be realized in five years time, from
the date of its completion.

MIR. & MRS. c. H. BATEMAN
 PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

A great surprise in the form of gifts and large serenade was rendered Charles H. Bateman, and his bride, now resi- ding at 254 Goddard avenue last night. The occasion was made lively by the arrival of nearly 25 fell low members of the second degree club of Samuel H. Harris Lodge, 99. I. O. O. F., who not only brought with them a round bakers dozen of entertainers but also presented one of the handsomest 26 piece silver sets manufactured by a local factory, as well as large ornamental table lamp.
 The serenade came as great sur prise to the bride and groom though it had been tentatively known to a brother-in-law, Charles H. Richards, who conspired in the secret.
 During the evening Mrs. sBateman assisted by Mrs. Richard prepared an elaborate repast which was heartily enjoyed by those present: Paul E. Becker, Walter H. Straw, Gustave R. Tesch, Charles H. Richards, Robert T. Kampf, Wn. Scho enberger, Albert B. Meyer, Raymond Worden, Charles H. Batenan, Ernest w. Mercy. Fred H. Somers, Albert H. Platt, J. Henry Anthony, Frank Jephcote, Mrs. c. H. Richards, Mrs. c. S. Batenan, MT. C. s. Bateman, Mrs. c. H. Bateman and many others.

Science and Discoveries.

t'There is widespread but erroneous belief in official circles and among wealthy philanthropists,' writes Sir Ray Lankester in the London Tele- graph. ito the effect that you can hire a scientific discoverer and then say to him Discover me this or Discover me that (naming to him a possible and greatly desired piece of new knowl- edge) and that he will thereupon pro ceed right away to make the discovery which you want But a Valu- able and important scientific discovery cannot be produced directly in response to orders given and money expended.
 "You cannot manufacture scientific discovery like soap. The great diff cuIty, in the first place, is to catch that rare and evasive creatuFe-a scientific dfscoverer-and when you have found him you have to humor him and let him do as he fancies- Then he will discover things, but probably not the things which either you or he wanted or expected"

Port Stanley, the capital of the Faih- land islands, is a small, clean town, very much resembling some of the vll- lages in the Orkneys and Shetlands. The houses occupied by the govern ment officials and the chief employees of the Falkland Islands company are stone built, with slate roofs, but most of the others are built of drfftwood and old ships tiTnbers. The country round Port Stanley is a huge peat mo rass, more or less impossible, accord ing to the time of year, and there are no roads ft for Yehicular traffic Iead- ing out of the town. Throughout the whole of the islands there are no trees indigenous to the soil, and the tallest plants, except a species known as tlls sock grass, which grows from six to ten feet high, do not exceed the height of the common English furze- AgrhcuE ture is virtually impossible. for wheat will never ripen and oats, rye and bar ley but seldom. Potatoes are unknown as crop, and the ordinary English vegetables will not mature--PaH Mall Gazette

STOCK MARKET

New York. June 17.-Opening.- Except for an advance of 1 3-4 in Baldwin Locomotive to a new high record, early dealings in today's stock market were light. One block of L. 900 shares changed hands at 65. Other war specia1ties showed little change from yesterdays close United States Steel was the only leading stock to manifest animation, opening with a small loss, which it soon regained. Other leaders were slightly higher when quoted at all. Among the minor industrials, distillers rose 1 5-8 to 2 points.
 CIosing.-War shares were the only features of interest in today's very dull market. Baldwin Locom otive made the new high record of 66 IA and few other specialties of that class, including Bethlehem Steel rose
 to 2 points. Some measure of the markets general trend may be taken from the fact that dealings in Baldwin Locomotive and Dtstil1ers securities were much larger than the overturn

entrance on Main street and large wind ows the side street. This treatment indicates to the observer two things-the impression of strength and dignity. For strength a material of great durability to with stand not only time, but the weight of the building above; for dignity, the basic feature of the design and the indication of that part of the building reserved for the use of the banking institution, denoting prominence and importance
 Above this, the building resolves it. self into a treatment more. flexible in design, employing materials of our soils, in which the country is partic- u1arly rich=brick and terra cotta grouped in form and color to harmon tze with the sturdy granite base.
 For want of a better term, the de- sign of the building may be termed a Renaissance of the classic style, for the reason that it reflects the work of classic culture adapted in every particular to our present day needs and requirements. and conforming within the scope of the building ma teria1s indigent to the soil.
 The building was designed by Tracy & Swartwout, architects, of New ' ork, to wh oms the credit is due for the production of such 8 distinc- tive and artistic result. The new edi- fee was constructed and equipped throughout by Hoggson Brothers, contracting designers, of New York. This organization has probably built more banks under it's single contract method, which guarantees the cost to the owner in advance, than any other rn1 in the country The Hoggson organization is widely known and ac- knowledged as experts in the plan ming and arrangements of bank equip n he hat is 0-1iZ ed as a science in it's hands. Throughout the construction of the building every preference was given to local labor and among the sub contractors were the following Bridge port firms:
 Frank Miller Lumber. Co.,. mill work; G. Brown, skylight; United Illuminating Go, electric diring; The Porcupine Boiler works, steel chim- ney; John Schwing corporation, sheet metal.
 The frst-Bridgep National bank is growing rapidly and the need for the larger quarters provided was l most imperative. The total resources of the bank as recorded May 1, 1915, were about $8,0oo, 900. The bank. always strong in its personnel of off, cers and directors, has a board now that ranks remarkably high. The officers and directors are as follows: ChdIA0S Hoet411O1 U, w . ] Wren, president; F. N. Benham, vice-president; o. H. Brothwell, cash fer; H. c. Woodworth, assistant cash fer; F. N.

NpoI,ar,, comes Fror, Dutch.

The abbreviation "Ps.," to signify pesos. was the origin of the American dollar mark, according to a Spanish American scientist When America was first settled the Dutch and the Spanish were strong competitors for the trade of the world The word dol lar is but a corruption of the Dutch 'Ethaler'' or +'thaller," a coin much used fin commerce at that period and which superseded the pieces of eight" of Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster, which was the Spanish name for pieces of eight,'' was worth approxi- mately the same as the thaler, and as the Dutch name was easier to say it found a place in our language in the corrupted form, while the abbreviatfoE for the peso remained as the sole re hinder of the Spanish mintage in our financial records.-Indianapoli News.
