How many people iu Honolulu
know there are three Japaueso and
two Chinese papers published here?
And again, how many people know
anything of the methods of publica
tion, frequency of Issue, or in fact,
anything about them? The answer is
patent to all, and it Is expressed in the
two little words, "Very few."
And yet these five newspapers give
employment to a large numberof peo
ple, editors, managers, book-keepers,
collectors, compositors and pressmen.
- There is a vast difference between a
Chinese and a Japanese printing of
fice. In the former everything, even,
to a small advertising poster, is care
fully pencilled out with India ink on
a s-heet of paper the exact size of the
page to be printed. From the editor
these sheets are passed to the en
graver and lithographer. In this class
of work the Chinese are most expert.
Contrary to the general rule, they use
no type, everything is lithographed on
stone and printed therefrom. These
stones after the edition has been print
ed, are planed off and used over again.
The office of the Hawaiian Chinese
News, on King street, is conspicuous
more for the total absence of type
than anything else. The visitor will
see an ordinary old fast&med printing
press of the t-tyle in vgcu? a hundred
years ago, and a lithorV4i stono ly
ing on the bed thereof.. jAbe press, al
tnoagirmafTfelrcChlna, fa au "almost
exact reproduction of the old Wash
ington hand press, so well-known to
every American printer. The method
of printing is exactly th- .-nine as that
of the time of Guttenber.
The Hawaiian Chinese News is the
oldest of the Chinese papers in Hono
lulu, but, like other papers, it has its
ups and downs and opposition publi
cations. A present tin r are two
; . u'ular Chinese papers ; ii.li.-hed in
the city, but the News 'ins to have
a monopoly of the business. This
office turns out a large amount of
poster work a favorite method of
Celestial advertising. The paper is
well patn : i -l iy Caucasion mer
chants, its r Minns showing the names
of nearly all the prominent merchants
in town. These ajiyetjisemeuts are
printed in squares, f? name of the
merchant being pr""" in English,
and the descriptiof uis
wares in
Chinese.

half of its space ijt i irupied with
advertising matter, lhWaIance being
devoted to editorial wling, which in
a Japanese paper cove's everything
in the fehape of new.
Other Japanese papers are the Ho
nolulu Hochi, a serai weekly with a
circulation of about 300, confined
mostly to these islands and. the
Hawaiian Shimbun. It may be
of interest to state the meaning of
these Japanese names. Sbinpo means
literally, "uewa;" hochi, "report;'
and fhimhuu, "what one hears." The

ProbriVly nn tel'er i lea of a J ipan
ee priritjug office ean he oraine i than
from a ie ent article on the subject by
Henrv Norman, i-ublished in "Real
Japan," from which t lie
ex traded:
following is
"They are very keen journalists in
the land of the chry?autbemum; but
it must le all.iwtd that thebusiuesa
is carried on utnler difficulties fronf
I
which even the hardened Western
newspaper man might shrink ap
palled. "The Japanese written and printed
characters consist of the Chinese ideo
graphs, those complicated square
figures made up of an apparent jum
ble of zigzags and crosses and ticks
and triangles and tails 'the foot
prints of a drunken fly' and of the
original Japanese syllabary, called
kana.
"Of the former there are 20,000 in
all, of which perhaps 14,000 constitute
the scholars' vocabulary, and no fewer
than 4000 are in common daily use,
while the forty-seven simple charac
ters of the kana are known to every
body. Therefore the Japanese com-
Eositor has to be prepared to place In
is stick any one of over 4000 different
types truly an appalling task.
"From the nature of the problem,
several consequences naturally follow.
First, he must be a good deal of a
scholar himself to recognize all these
instantly and accurately. Secondly,
his eyesight suffers fearfully, and he
generally wears a huge pair of magni
fy ins: goggles ; and third, as it is phy
sically impossible for any one man
to reach 4000 types, a totally different
method of arrangement has to be de
vised. '
"The 'typo,' therefore, of whom
there are only three or four on a
paper, sits at a little table at one end
of a large room, with the case con
taining his forty-seven kana syllables
before him. From end to end of the
room tall oases of type are arranged
like the shelves in a crowded library,
a passage of three feet wide being left
between each two.
"The compositor receives his copy
in large pieces, which he cuts into
little 4 takes,' and hands each of these
to one of half-a-dozen boys who assist
him. The boy takes this and proceeds
to walk about among the cases till he
has collected each of the ideographs,
or square Chinese picture words, omit
ing all the kana syllables which con
nect them.
"While these boys are running to
and fro snatching up the types and
jostling each other, they keep up a
constant chant, singing the name of
the character they are looking for, as
they cannot recognize it till they hear
its sound, the ordinary lower-clas3
Japanese not understanding his daily
paper unless he reads aloud."
All of the type and presses used by
the Japanese in this city is manufac
tured in Tokio foundries. There are
also type foundries in Yokohama and
other cities, but those of Tokio manu
facture the best and most durable,
and, to the economical Japanese mind,
this is quite a consideration.
L
Association Formed for Mutual As-
J sistance. .
Co-operative Boarding House Proposed.
Social and Business Interests
of Graduate. '
A large number of the Kameha
meha School graduates held a
meeting Saturday evening at which
preliminary arrangements were
made for the formation of an alum
ni association. The object of the
association is to further the social,
educational and business interests
of the students after leaving school
and also for educational work
among the Hawaiiaus.
Three classes have gone out from
Kamebameha and 90 per cent, are
holding good positions as mechan
ic?, teachers and in places of trust
with various business houses of the
country. These young men intend
to band together for their own in
terest and for the benefit of their
alma mater. A constitution has
been drawn and officers will be
elected at the next meeting. The
plan ia to hold meetings every
month at which something in the
way of entertainment will be pre
sented besides a discussion of the
work which may be taken up. A
echeme now on foot is the forma
tion of a co-operative boarding
house, where those who desire it
can obtain board at a reasonable
figure. A baseball team of gradu
ates is also talked of. Other
movements for mutual assistance
will be set on foot as the organiza
tion becomes perfected and receives
new recruits.
Ttlephones in Europe.
Berlin and Vienna were connected
by telephone- hardly a month ago,
and already there is business enough
to need another line. The line has
been connected with Trieste at one
end and Hamburg at the other, mak
ing a total length of nearly 900
mile. It is expected that Hamburg
will soon be connected with Copen
hagen, which is joined to the Swed
ish py9tem, extending 850 miles
north.

An Explosion Wrecks a Hons a at

Ll'CKILY SO ONK W.i 9 nfJCREI.
A JUjsterlous Ocenfrene at au JTarlj
Ilour Yesterday Horning Several
Theories Advanced a to the Camse
Was It From a Boyallit SombT
Shortly after the Advertiser went
to pres: on Monday morning a mys
terious explosion startled those who
were about at that early hour. Inves
tigation showed that it occurred at a
house owned by a native named Ka
halewai at Kamoillili. Police Cap
tain Scott found an old native named
Papa, who lived in the house, but
who had been awakened the evening
before by his blankets taking fire
from an oil stove. The old man was
scared at the occurrence and after put
ting out the fire and throwing the oil
stove out of doors, went to the house
of a neighbor, some 200 yards distant,
where he spent the night until awak
ened by the noise of the explosion.
To this action on his part he probably
owes his present existence.
The" house is an ordinary two-roomed
cottage with lean-to in the rear. The
explosion took place either in or under
the lean-to, part of which was used
by the old man as a sleeping place
and the rest as a kitchen. The force
of the explosion knocked the rear
portion of the house into kindling
wood, pieces of the wreck being
picked up fifty yards away. Ev
ery window in the house was shat
tered, the rear door leading to the
kitchen blown off its hinges, and
even the panels of the front door blown
out.
.In .spite of the most rigid inves
tigation, no cause can be assigned
for the explosion. No one who lived
on or about the premises had any idea
of any powder being there, although
considerable blasting was done, in the
vicinity some time ago. The police
have advanced the theory that the
explosion came from one of the bombs
dropped by Nowlein and his party,
who were arrested close to the pre
mises. Even if it were so, the mvs
tery of how it became ignited is still
unsolved.

STILL MISSING.
The
tafodnoted Chinese Girl Cannot
Be Located.
Several members of tbe police
force and a number of the friends
of Ah Chew are busily engaged in
looking for Quai Muey, the thirteen-year-old
Chinese girl, who has been
missing from her home on Nuuanu
street sine early on Saturday
morning. Ah Chew has stationed
men at different outlets from the
city at his own expense to guard
against the girl being taken to the
other side of. the island, and says
he will spare no expense to -find
her and bring her abductors to
justice. .
Arrested on Suspicion.
Four police officers ; visited the
Mail wharf yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock and walking up to the
place whero the sailors of the Gay
Head were at work on the casks of
provisions, arrested three men on
suspicion of having started the fire
which almost destroyed the vessel.
Th men seemed to take things
very quietly and went to the police
station without any trcuble. A
special officer has been at work on
the case since the fire and has
been instrumental in assisting the"
captain to ferret out the supposed
perpetrators. The names of the
men are Wm. Bresley, Eiker
Ewkowter and Wm. Gehmann.

The Birmingham, England, gun
and ammunition trade is now more
active than it has ever been during
the past twenty years. The fact is
solely attributable to the demand
for war material in the East.
