Result of Heavy Rains In Country Last Night
A Hundred Men at Work No
Trains 0?er Extension Today.
In all probability, there will bo
no trains out to Kahuku this aftor
noon. Somo two hundred tons of
rock and dirt from tho side of the
cut on the other sido of the Wai
raea bridge, was washed down on
tbe track by tho extromoly heavy
rainB of last night and it will take
all of this afternoon and porhaps
longer, to reinovo this.
Ths 3:15 p. ra. train of yester
day left on time. Upon approach
ing Waimoa, at G o'clock, it was
found that the rain was coming
down in sbeots. Tho train waited
until 8:30 o'clock, the rain all (bo
whilo pouring down Bteadily. At
this hour, thore was a lull in tho
storm nd the train was ablo to
paes over tbo bridgo and continue
on its way tq Kahuku.
Soon after this, tho rain began
again and poured down steadily
for several hours. Tho road mas
ter stated this morning that ho
had seen heavy rains in Waimea,
but last night's was a record
broaker. Tbo stroams became
swollen end dirt was washed down
from t,ho sido of tho cut with tho
result given nbovo.
This morning, the Kahuku train
was of oiurso uuablo to got past
tho cut and was forced to remain
at that place. Learning of tho
daratge, Superintendent Donison
dospatohed a special train to Ewa
and Pearl City to bring up tbo
passengers. No train was sont to
Wairflaa bs thore woro buttery
few passengers at that placp. Lat
er on, superintendent JJonisou
went down tho road to personally
look into tho damago. A forco of
a hundred or more men who wero
at work putting tho finishing
touches on tho Kahuku extension,
aro now clearing tho dirt and
rocks from the track.
Preserving Centipede.
Professor Koobolo baa boon en
gaged of late in tho work of pre
serving catorpillars by moans of
tho drying process. This morn
ing, ho undortook to preservo a
centipede and succeeded most ad
mirably. Tho process is this.
Tbo insect is killed in a cyanido
bottle and is then spread out and
inflated with a dteadily flowing
current of air from a rubbor bag.
While this is going on tbe insect
is dried in a dryor furnished with
an alcouol lamp, xuo process is
vory interesting to watoh. Pre
served in tbis way, insects will
lftHt forovor unless disturbed by
other insects.
