Think* War May Be Resumed- Bam Francisco, JNov. 15.—Major General Merriam is quoted as saying : “It would not surprise me to see that the negotiations between the -United States and Spain have been broken off If the work ofthe commission proves fruitless it means a renewal *f tbe war. "If Spain refuses to accede to our demand* it will show that she baa se cured substantial nope of assistance or European intervention.

The scheme of an electric aerial rail way, by which the passengers could be ■hot through the air at a high rate of speed in a car suspended on an elevate *d frame work, is at last, says the Bos ton Transcript, about to be realised in the German road between Elberfield and Barmen, a distance of 8 miles. Elevated electric lines have become quite common during the pest three years, but the idea of suspending the oar from an overhead framework, in* « stead of allowing it to run upon it is radical and a construction not calcala. J ted to inspire courage in the hearts of timid traveler*, despite the fact that it i* claimed to be quite as safe as th* ordinary method of running cars on elevated systems. The higbt is considerably greater than that of the ordinary elevated road, as the bottoms of th* cars ar* sigteen feet above the bridge* to be crossed Each ear seats from 50 to 00 people, and is reached by mean* of iron stairway* leading up to a plats form. These cars, as before stated, are hung from two rails, the axles of th* wheel* being supported on movable trunnion*, which permit* of rapid propulsion and yet ease in taking curve*, g" Twenty five miles an hour is th* contemplated speed. Every possible precaution has been taken to provide automatic devices so that, should th* car become disabled, no serious acci dent* would follow.

Native Haw i iians regard them a* rometime* much more than historical landmarks, some ■ thing to link the past with the present ’ and for years the native kingdom bad » appropriated money for their careful 1 preservation. I Th* first mention in civilised rec- L ord* of these building* appears t* have r been about 1819. Travelers and mi*- > sionarie* were beginning to enter the i country aod the most striking objects . were naturally-the immense piles of stone, totally different from any other I building* in the world. ; Al Ibis time Kamehamah* bad auc- > ceeded in capturing and subduing lb* . native* of the adjoining island* and i their chief had been compelled to sc. I knowledge his supreme authority a* i King, and these people for th* first l time in their history, were to be united I under one government. It took nearly forty years to acoom i plisb this unity, but Kamebamaba was > a man of iron, and well deserves the i name be bears in Has aiian history, “Tbs Oonqusrer." During these year* of conquest and bloodshed a great change was coming over the most interesting people, and the last acts ol heathenism, accompa nied by horrible human sacrifices and other abominable customs, were pass ing away. Os those limes there still remain in perfect preservation, as relics of the horrible past, the stone temple of “He* iau*,’’which ta.mind the awful stat* of things existing a century ago. Os the most interesting of these heathenish buildings, on* H* on the island of Molokai. It was built some centuries ago, and is considered one of the oldest temples in the Hawaiian group. Tbe older one, on the west **Mte< Kona coast of Hawaif| is fib* last one ever built, being erected a little over a hundred yen** ago. In 1791 Kamebamaha I, during his ware of subjugation, to ebow his ven eration of tbe gods, and to secure a continence of their favor and strength en bi* kingdom, engaged in building a very large tempi* at Kawaihae for the worship of Kaili, tbe god of war, and for offering human and other sacrifices. It wa* built on a hill called Punbakoloa. While be was engaged in erecting this temple, which wa* consecrated with human blood, some of his worriors were conquering the southern part of Hawaii, where hi* own relative, Keona, wa* jthen king. Keona soon afterwar is became dis heartened aod surrendered himself and bis warriors in th* hope of r*c*iv ing life and mercy. He, however, with many of his lesser chiefs and men, was slain and their bodies sacrificed on the alter of tbe new temple. This was tbe last human eacrifice ever made on tbe Hawaiian Islands. The victims ware exeopted in* tbe presence of gamehamaba himself, who stood at tbe door of th* bouse within a stone incloeure to witness the slaughter. There are a few other Heiau* still in excellent preservation, one of which is , near Kobala, on Hawaii, and another i at Kealekakea Bag, which i* said to i have been used by Capt. Cook to re pair bis sails —Bao Francisco Exami r ner. An Important Diflsreno*.

Workmen's AMideata- Dr. Wolff, of Strasburg, probably B one o' tbe best antboriti** in Germany on workingmen’s accident*, ba* been investigating some Interesting aod important quMtiona. First, *n what 1 day of the week do Most accidents 00-1 1 eurf Second, at what boor of th* 1 dayl Dr. Wolff base* bi* Jgeneralisa -1 lion* on 1,071 case* of accident* which happened in bi* own dkuicl during 1897. Mondays and Fridays are tbe days when most accident* occur, be -1 cause, according to his *tate***nt, tb* drinking shop* ar* most frequented by workmen on the days previous, ! vis., Saturday*, Sunday* *od Thurs day*. Fewer accident* happen on Tuesday than on any other day of tbe ' w**k, because on no day are drinking * bouse* so empty as on Monday. With reference to the hours of tb* ’ day, Dr. Wolf states as an undoubted ’ fabt that tbe hours after breakfast, ' dinner and afternoon rest ar* thee* r signalized by accident*. He attribute* this to la**itud«, caused by tbe work of digestion, and to tbe us* made by ' men of intoxicant* during th* meal time. He also esteblisbe*.the fact that in 1 factories where the meal hours are ’ greatly curtailed there is an excess of accidents over tb* factories where the men are more liberally treated in this respect.
