How It Works. Ar ;
Coming to the function of fertilizer,
Mr. Peck isaid there was a prevalent
Impression that a fertilizes conveyed
food direct to the plant. This was not
quite correct. Investigators ' had long
noted the capriciousnecs of fertiliz
ers,' they; showing different effects In
different locaUties. A. fertilizer should
orly be applied to soils that w ere poor
or. Infertile. The' tpeaker quoted .. Sij
crlntendent Eckart in the bulletin,
where he said that In the mixture of
fcitilizers nitrogen should be the pre
dominating element Besides teing a
stimulant, to. the plant, a fertilizer fur

Th next contract, for the super

clause1 in this contract provided that

of the two scows now imder discus

turned the scows over, about $3,000
was spent in renovating them, and
getting them in what the engineers
considered serviceable condition. y An
Inspector was sent, over from Major
Wooten's . office, and he passed the
scows; up as' to requirements. They
were then left at the disposal of the
Breakwater Company.
When the latter concern was ready
to begin, putting in rock, complaint
was made about the two scows, which
were represented as being leaky as
lobster pots, and utterly unfit to
carry a load. the "Lost on a Lonely

Miles of coast line lifted out

and a probable loss of life that
has as yet not been ascertain
ed, are some of the results of
a Volcanic explosion on one of
the: Jittle south sea islands
passed by the Un'on Steamship
Company's vessels last month.
The hews of the disaster, al
though but few of the details,
was brought here this morning
by the S.S. Zealandia, en route
from Australia to Vancouver.
The island is called Niuatoou,
and is twelve miles ' long by
emni mnes wiae, ana is one or
the Fiji group. In all fiVe miles
of the coast line is devastated

south side of the island, where
the eruDtion took f olace, has
been raised more than a foot

The ; British steamship Zealandla
sailed from Sydney on the afternoon
of November 18th and called at Auck

mails destined for, the west coast of
America. .: ,; .- ' ' ' '
A From ; the 6tory brought to the Fiji
port, , the spectacle of the eruption
was a rare one causing more than five
miles or coast line to blaze; leaving
destruction to plantations. in its wake:
It was, also stated that the south side
of the island, where the eruption took
place, has risen over four feet.
Fifteen ' hundred natives, many in
the employ of German plantation own

towns were, not wholly destroyed but
many of the houses built of flimsy
material furnished food for the flames

"That was an earthquake for sure,"
was the exclamation that ran around
the 4 convocation .of sugar barons,
about 10: SO tlx!:: morning; as the Judd
Building-r-on the fourth fjoor of
which'- the ;" asacciatiotfs hall Is

from the direction of the .harbor. And
there were -enough Hilo men - there
to contradict ti diagnosis of the
tremor, if it was not correct.

by a:recil,;tiie time of the quake be
ing about one and a . half seconds.
Inqufry; directly afterward, of some

and asked an Irrelevant question of
the inquirer. - i A
A. Lewis,-Jr.. manager of the Bank
of Hawaii, when questioned at neon
said he? felt no shock in his 'office on
the ground flooradding that with the
constant hammering of mechanic

would not be strange if a shock would
pass unnoticed there.
On the suggestion tfcit it might nave
been a submarine blast in the harbor,
the harbormaster's office was quettion:

there had been no blasting this morn

Charges of Falsehood; Threats
: and Coercion Preferred:
Against Normal Head;
Direct charges' of ialsehood on the
part of Principal Edgar Wood of the
Normal school, of threats, abuse and
coercion of -the .teachers, under him,
and of a" conspiracy in the department
of public "instruction to drive decent
"young omen out of the department
in disgrace, were made openly by. At
torney; Joseph Ughtfoot "and the
Misses Etta Davis and Maud Dawson
this morning, at the school commis-.
sion's hearing of the Davis and Daw
son cases.
Countering these, Professor Wood
brought seTious accusations of Insub
ordination and incompetence against
the two young women, the former of
whom is still retained this year as
instructor in the. Normal school with
out increase in salary, and the latter
merely dismissed, "for the good of
the department," being .the only ex
planation vouchsafed her.
In the latter case Attorney Light
foot presenting Miss Dawson's argu
ment, asserted:
"This method of dismissal meant
ruination to a young woman, ine
mystery of what might lay behind it
would ruin any young woman, particu
larly one who must make her living
by teaching in the public schools.
This is far. worse to a teacher than
disbarment would be to a lawyer."

Wood's charge that Miss Dawson was
always on the verge of open rebellion.

Mr. Wood has no love for the truth.
His word is not reliable," and he nar
rated an. alleged incident that occur
