There was In the flshmarket yesterday
the largest specimen of the eel tribe
which has graced the slabs for many a
day. The eel was five feet long, and
nearly live inches in diameter at its
thickest part. It belonged to the local
species, which most resembles the true

The steamships Korea and Siberia
which will, it is expected, be completed
in March and May, respectively, are the
two largest vessels ever built in the
United States.
They have each 18,600 tons displace-

which it had entered, probably In pur
suit of prey, and out of which it was un
able to escape.
There are three well known varieties
of eel found in local waters. The larg
est is the big gray fellow, which so close
ly resembles his cousin conger. He is
voracious and fearless, and the natives
tackle him with caution, for when cor
nered, he tights viciously, and can in
flict a nasty wound with his powerful
jaws, which bristle with needle-like
teeth. ,
The other species are fat, flabby look
ing customers, with fantastic marking
of black and brown, and many shades
of gray. On an eel of this sort the skin
appears to hang loosely on the body, and
when disturbed the head swells like a
pun adder's. These eels seldom attain
a greater length than three feet, and
love to locate in the crevices of a stone
brckwater, from which they dart out
incessantly and make havoc among any
school of small fry which may be inno
cently disporting themselves within str!k

for over a year. They are good eating.

They are being constructed for the Pa

The length of the Korea is 572 feet 4

at twenty knots. At this rate the run

The steamer Kauai, which arrived from
Kailua yesterday morning, brought news
of the sudden death of Mrs. Kahano at
Honuapo early last Sunday morning.
Mrs. Kahano is said to have been pres

day evening. Early the next morning
her dead body was found on the lanai of
her house.
An inquest was being helj when the
Kauai left Honuapo. No further par

could be obtained.

The introduction of vessels of such
large tonnage into the trans-Pacific
trade is significant. Five years agq
such a development would not have
been considered possible for at least
another quarter of a century. Cut the
acquisition of the Philippines as one of
the fruits of the Spanish war, opened
commercial possibilities only vaguely
dreamed of before, and the great
steamship companies are falling over

new conditions and prospects.
