"Hullo, Honolulu,
and Goodby"

Barney Williams. who heads the COM
pany Offering Hello Honolulu" at the will
Ham Penn during the last half Of the week,
spent several years in the Hawaiian Islands.
And he went there rather against his will,
too. for he had been visiting in Japan and
was on the return trip home when the ves-
sci he was travelling on became disabled
several hundred miles away from the is
lands and was towed to Honolulu, where Il
took several days to make the necessary re-
pairs for the continuance OF the voyage.
Meanwhile Williams had become infatuated
with the beauties of the place and had be-
come so absorbed In sightseeing that he for
got all about sailing day. When he finally
returned TO the pier he learned that the ves-
sci had sailed several hours before SO he
made the best Of bad bargain, went pros
pecting and found a lucrative field in COM
mercial pursuits. He was In a fair way OF
becoming a magnate when the Arm he was
with was bankrupted by a rascally cashier
who had been spending the firms money
freely. The business closed and Williams
became disgusted and returned TO the Unit
ed States and shortly afterward got into
the theatrical game and has been a success
ever since. He still bankers for Honolulu
however and declares that one of these days
he Is going there TO settle down and enjoy
life, insisting that the country is as nearly
like Paradise as any place he ever expects
to get to.

Where Thinqs Happen,

No wonder that people like the west.
They move towns around, move banks
and business enterprises. One never
knows when be meets an automobile
but what it is carrying a whole city to
be laid out and constructed and boom

too, which in a year or two produces a
governor, a cattle king. an oil gusher,
and no one ean tell what all One day
the prairie is bare and bleak, and the
next 1t is covered with tents. Within
a week tar paper shacks have replaced
the tents, and then come painted
houses and rows of trees.
Very rapidly the rich old grazing
lands of the prairie are being turned
into farms. The plows are cutting
through right out to the edges of the
bad lands. The new country is grow

Patmos and John the Apostle.

The little island called Patmos has
an entirely Greek population of 1000,
mostly sponge fishers, and although in
close proximity to Turkey, no Turks
dwell on the island and no mosque
has ever been erected where John the
Apostle was in the spirit IN the Lords

which were sent to Venice.
The same authority adds that there
were 300 churches on the island, which,
seeing that the number of dwelling
houses was only 700, suggests a rather
handsome surplus of places of worship.
The monastery In which the name of
John the Divine is perpetuated is a
massive building flanked by towers
like a fortress, and the visitor is shown
inevitably the grotto on the mountain
In which it is claimed that John wrote
his book. Over the grotto a small
church has been erected. The isola-
ton of the island gives a pathetic In

emily Jerusalem when there should be

A Burning Glass In the Eye.

In the front part Of each of our eyes
Is a convex lens of great power and
clearness. 1t acts exactly like a burn
ing glass. If a person was made to
look at the sun. say, for half a minute,
his eye would actually start to burn
up. The lens would focus the rays of
the sun on the retina, and that part of
the eye would Immediately scorch and
later would burn to a crisp. This can
happen, however. only when n looks
at the sun directly or In a mirror. If
one holds a pin between the u and
the eye and looks at the pin, although
the sun is in a direct line with the eye
and although its rays are entering the
eye, the eye is not hurt, because the
rays are not focused inside the eyeball.
This is the wonderful property the lens
has, that of focusing objects at differ
emit distances. The means by which 1t
does this are its power to change its
curvature.

Ridino a Colt.

If a young colt is ridden or driven
several miles over cobblestones or even
over a pike or gravel road he may be
stove up for life. A colts legs and
feet are filled with soft and tender
bones. and his muscles and sinews are
easily stretched and torn. Bones are
not iron, and they easily crumble I'M
der strain and pressure, and tendons
often pull loose from where they are
grown to young bones. and they can
not be grown back again. 1t takes a
colt of almost iron legs even at two
years old to carry the lightest boy and
run fast as far as a mile.
