home from Haiku. He was in
formed of the lire and at once tele
phoned W. Mountcnstle and told
him to get as many men as possible
and attack the blaze. Mountc.tstlc
got busy and rushed to the scene of
the fire. Without water it was im
possible to do much beyond trying
to save the adjoining houses, so all
efforts were turned in that direction.
That the other houses did not burn
Js owing to the good work of tho
Kahului volunteors.
HVBIJYUODY THURH.
All Kahului and most of the
Wailuku people were soon at the
fire, and automobiles and rigs of
all kinds were lined up along the
roads. Everybody felt willing
enough to help, but there was not
much that could be done. The
greatest sympathy is felt for the
Harms family, especially for lira.
Barrus, who is in delicate health.
It is feared that tho shock will do
her some harm.
When the alarm was turned into
the police station the big bell was
not rung vory hard. Most people
did not realize that it was n fire
call. However, the (ire laddies
were soon gathered up, and they
made the run down to Kahului in
record time. There was a dela in
finding anyone who knew how to
drive the big wagon, but Heine
English was equal to the occasion
when called upon.
DELAYED WAGON.
It does not seem to bo understood
on Maui that the fire wagon has the
right-of-way when running to a fire.
A couple of autoists rather inter
fered with the time made to Kahu
lui, by not getting out of the way
quick enough.
The house that was destroyed was
the property of the Kahului Kail
road Company, and was fully in
sured. The household contents
were, however, uninsured, and fall
as a total loss on Mr. Barrus.

ant to succeed the other Sylva, who

ing tho house at three in the morn
ing and loudly yelling for "Pearl I"
A man boarder threatened to "knock
the block off" the noisy one and
then n. deep silence reigned for the
rest of the night.
Tho Kahului race track is begin
ning to look more like a place that
horses could use. The heavy rains

suitable for an aquatic meet than a

Japanese Emperor is worrying his
loyal subjects on Maui, and the
different churches are offering up
prayers for his speedy recovery.
There is a rumor that the Kahu
lui baseball team has quit cold, as

ers" be dropped, and the rest of

to a Sky Lark
(By P. M. McMaUon.)
Oh, little lark, how sweet your song,
How blissful is its measure.
To what rare world do you belong
That you're so full of pleasure?
Your home methinks is not of earth,
For here we're bom to sorrow,
Whilst your whole life is all of mirth,
That thinks not of the morrow,
i
On airy and enraptured wing
The ether blue you're cleaving,
And ever, ever seem to sing
Just for the joy of living.
I feel within your mellow strain
A soft, delicious madness,
That thrills and soothes my heart and brain,
And fills my life with gladness.
No, not from earth your song doth come,
But surely it was given
To you from some blest angel's lips
As close you soared to heaven! .
O happy bird, how blind are we,
Poor, proud, conceited mortals.
With greater love we'd be, like thee,
Much nearer heaven's portals 1

Interesting Facts.
Step3 are about to be taken in
France to make possible the legal
application of the Bertillion system
to prisoners when they leave prison.
Hitherto, according to the regu
lations, M. Bertillion has been able
to photograph and measure tho
features of criminals only at tho timo
of thdir arrest. But it has long been
recognized at tho Prefecture of Police
that after serving a sentence of, say,
ten years, a criminal is liable to
show a complete change of appear
ance on his liberation.
Consequently it is difficult for
detectives to identify him from tho
Bertillion record, taken at the timo
of tho first arrest, if he again gets
into the hands of the police.
A novel electrical tapper for rub
ber trees is tho work of a German
in Peru. Hollow iron channels,
divided into sections, aro fitted on
tho treo trunk, tho sections contain
ing pricking devices that can be
worked at varying times by current
from tho central station.
A receptacle in each section cat
ches the latex (plant juice,) coagu
lating it with acid. Tho attach
ment may be left unvisited two or
three months, and in tho time 200
or 300 lumps of rubber may bo ac
cumulated from a largo tree.
The coal deposits of China are
considered greater than those of the
United States. Tho new republic
has reached tho point where it mines
10,000,000 tons of coal a year.
Some competent engineers go so far
as to declare that the coal deposits
of China aro greater than those of
tho United States. The production
of coal in tho United States in the
banner year of 1907 was about 480,
000,000 tons and it never is very
much short of that figure.
China undoubtedly could produce
100,000,000 tons of coal a year with
out any unusual strain upon her
production abilities. Sho might,
with a comparatively small invest
ment, produce twice that amount,
The railroads now building will re
quire much more than the republic
can produce at present. The great
manufactories sho is seeking to es
tablish will bo operated by steam
power, therefore a greater impetus
is to be desired in tho coal mining
business.
