Visitors to Honolulu are often per plexed to get the points of the compass fixed tn their minds with reference to streets and locations. They are still more perplexed to find nobody who knows them and nobody who feels the need of know ing them. To the visitor, especially from the Mississippi valley, where the congres sional survey of public lands has laid out everything four square, so that directions and distances are always thought of in their relation to north, south, cast or west, this is incomprehensible. But it does not take a very long resi dence here to learn that the points of the compass in the ordinary matters of direc tion are of very little practical use, and the prevailing system of indicating loca tion and direction, adapted from that used by the native Hawaiians and continuing the use of their nomenclature, is a very practical one anil well adapted to condi tions. The islands are all small and of volcanic origin. There is at least one main range of mountains on each island, though there may be subsidiary ones. As is well known, mountains do not run with spe cial reference to the points of the compass. And the narrow valleys cut and eroded out of the volcanic mass and extending from the mountains to the sea bear still less appreciable relation to them, so tliat if one were to establish the points of the compass with relation to any one of these valleys a quarter of a mile would bring him to another, where he would have to take his bearings all afresh. But there are two objects he can never get out of sight of. These are the mountain and the sea. And on this fact the basis both of the nomenclature and of the system of direction rests. With relation to any point the two cardinal directions are toward the mountain and toward the sea. Now, the native Hawaiian terms for these “mauka,” toward or in the direc tion of the mountain, and “makai” (pro nounced makhi, the i long), toward or in the direction of the sea. The topography of the country, a series of valleys extending from the mountain to the sea, and the feudal tenure under which land was held in the ancient day led to the division of the country into nar row strips or districts—moku, as the larger were called; ahupuoa, the next smaller, and ill, those still smaller, but all, with very few exceptions, extending from the seashore to the top of the moun tain. In this way the common people, re stricted to their own ilis, yet had access to the sea to fish and swim and ride the surf, to the mountain for firewood and build ing material and to the land between to cultivate taro. The boundaries of these dis tricts were all carefully defined from time immemorial and remain the same today. Moreover, each district had its name, and that name remains. With the mountain above and the sea below and the narrow districts in succes sion, each with its boundaries and name well defined, the basis of the system and nomenclature of direction was complete. A given point or object is “mauka,” toward the mountain, or “makai,” toward the sea, in relation to another object or point, and it is “waihihi,” in the direc tion of the district of Waihihi, or “ewa,” In the direction of the district of Ewa, for the other relations of direction. So that in Honolulu, for instance, where no street runs north and south or east and west, and few streets run straight in any direction for any great distance, no one speaks of the north or south side of the street —no one can—nor of the east and west sides. But every street has a mauka and a makai side, or a waihihi and ewa side. So a particular corner may be precisely and accurately de scribed as the mauka-waihihi corner or the inakai-ewa. These terms are not only colloquial, but official. They are used in contracts, deeds, wills and statutes. They suit conditions and have grown out of them.—Honolulu Letter in Chicago Record. Great Horaebaek Ridins; In Ken tucky. The championship long distance horse back rider of the world resides near Allens ville. Ho is a prominent farmer and owns another farm one mile and three-quarters from where he resides. Every morning bright .: nd early ho rides to the back of the farm where he resides, a distance of one mile, and returns, making two miles. Then ho goes to his other farm, a distance of ono mile and three-quarters, and re turns, inakin 3% miles. Then he oomCs to Allensville, a distance of 3% miles, and returns, making seven miles. That makes 12M miles ho rides every morning. In the afternoon ho makes the same trips. After supper he goes to Allensville and re turns home, making in all 30 miles a day. He does this every day in the year, mak ing 11,680 miles a year. Ho travels at least 720 miles a year Ashing and hunt ing, making a grand total of 12,400 miles a year. He has done this steadily for 20 years, making in all 248,000 miles. He travels every two years a distance equal to tho circumference of the earth, so if he had kept a straight course for the past 20 years he would have been around the world ten times. Ho is likely to keep this up for 20 years longer.—Elkton Times. Enormous Mastodon Tusks. A pair of mastodon tusks, the largest and most perfect specimens ever found, were brought to this city recently on tho whaler Bonanza and are in the possession of the H. Liebes company. They meas ure 108 inches each in length on the outer curve, 91% inches In tho inner curve and 18 inches in circumference about two feet from the base, 17% inches in tho middle and 14% Inches two feet from the point. They weigh a little over 103 pounds each, or an aggregate of 207 pounds. Tho weight of the ordinary tusks is about 12 pounds a pair, and their market value from 50 to 60 cents a pound, according to the size and clearness of ivory. The commercial value of these mammoths is beyond computation owing to their rarity. They were found a few miles from I’oint Barrow, where the com pany maintains a supply station for Its whalers and fur hunters, and two lives were sacrificed in digging them out of the !ce in which they were imbedded 16 feet !>elow the surface.—New York Telegram.

Yc.tt need not travel to a star; The way is easy and not far— An hour'e walk, n mile from town. The herons of the old lagoon Lead you along the path; for sign Are arrowhead blossoms, frail and fine, Beside the water; then tho wood Takes you, but only by tho blood Leaping, and by the sudden start Os the overfull and thrilling heart. You know you see it taco to face. Tho greenwood bowers a sunny space For song sparrow tinkling and below July's green lap is full of snow. Is drifted rich with white and pink. Os bouncing bet from brink to brink; The haunted air resounds between With humming birds, obscure and keen, Like burnt out stars that dart and float. With but a last fire to the throat. You saw but common summer flowers? Heard but a hum tliat drowsed the hours! Your blood leaped not nor shook your heart! Ah, well, 1 know no other chart! The path is for your feet as far As that which lessens to a star. —J. Bussell Taylor in Century BERLIN APPETITES. Restaurant Men Who Cuter to Them Soon Become Rich. That the restaurant business in Berlin is a paying one, if the location chosen be a good one, the restaurant of the zoo logical gardens here shows. For a num ber of years it was leased by a man who understood about as much of the busi ness as the man in the moon. Yet he became wealthy within a few years and retired for good to live on the interest of his money. There were days in sum mer when he sold 1,009 kegs of beer, besides some 20,000 cups of coffee and 50,000 sandwiches, and as prices are high there he must have made thousands of dollars in a single day. Fortunately for the public, another caterer now supplies the hungry and thirsty sightseers at the zoological gar dens, a man with a good reputation, and he pays twice the rent for the restau rant buildings, too—viz, 100,000 marks per annum, besides spending by the terms of his contract a matter of almost 500,000 marks for improvements. Yet it is probable that he, teo, will retire at tho end of his term with a fortune. There are many instances of this kind in Berlin. One of the finest and most highly priced restaurants on Unter den Linden recently sold its good will for a matter of 1,000,000 marks. The owner of a case on Friedrichstrasse who start ed the place but a couple of years ago is reputed already to have cleared about 2,000,000 marks. His head waiter is himself rapidly growing rich from the “trinkgeld” received from the guests and is said to be in receipt of monthly stipends amounting to some $3,000 in American money.—Berlin Letter in Chicago Record. Borrowing; a Horae. In his interesting book, “The Law yers of Maine,” Willis relates an anec dote of Judge George Thatcher, who was noted for his humor. Solicitor Davis and Judge Thatcher, when boys, were neighbors in Barnsta ble and Yarmouth, Mass. The day after the battle of Bunker Hill the militia of these towns set off for Boston. The boys accompanied the soldiers, Davis acting as fifer. A few miles out from Barnstable an order came directing the military to return home. In their retreat Thatcher and Davis, tired of their march, mounted an old horse they met on the road, without saddle or bridle. After riding some miles they dismounted and abandoned their steed in the highway. Many years after Davis, as solicitor general, was prosecuting a horse thief before Judge Thatcher in the county of Kennebec, Me. In the course of the trial the judge leaned over the bench and said in an undertone to the solic itor : “Davy, this reminds me of the horse you and I stole in Barnstable. ” Thunder In Various Region®. Java is said to be the region of the globe where it thunders oftenest, hav ing thunderstorms 97 days in the year. After it are Sumatra, with 86 days; Hindustan, with 56; Borneo, with 54; the Gold Coast, with 52, and Rio de Janeiro, with 51. In Europe, Italy oc cupies the first place, with 38 days of thunder, while France and southern Russia have 16 days. Great Britain and Switzerland have each 7 days, and Norway has 4. Thunder is rare at Cairo, being heard only 3 days in the year, and extremely rare in northern Tur kestan and the polar regions.—'London Standard. A Talking; Crow. The latest curiosity in Bethel, Me., is a talking crow which entertains the boys and girls. The bird was found in the woods over a year ago, when young, having fallen from its nest and broken a wing. It was taken home and cared for, but showed no inclination to talk until a few months ago. It talks as well as parrots, but favors words con taining “o,” and “Hello, hello, Moses, Ora! Whoa there!” cause the passers by to turn quickly at times. Explained. Mrs. Bliffers —Your old friend has such a sad face. Why is it?

It la Extremely Ilnaardrina and Try ing Work, and Many Precautions Arc Xcee.xary to Prevent Lot. of Life During the Operation. There is ono phase of the ship life of the American naval officer that is scarcely known to the layman and that cab hardly be understood by him as he looks upon the modern ship in nil her attractive cleanliness and meets her neatly uniform 'd officers upon the spot less upper deck. Not only are the parts of the ship in sight kept clean and free from rust and decay, but also those far down, centra I spices that never see the light of day. Tbi > include the cel lular compartments between the inner and outer skins of the ship, known tech nically as the “double bottom, ” and other places He ‘ : • rate the magazines and various be:it. up structures within tho ship from the outer skin. These narrow compartments are espe cially susceptible to dampness and rust, and in order that those who have the care of them may do their duty well and so prevent the decay of the ship a system of inspection has been devised, and the inspectors mast be, under the naval regulations, commissioned offi cers. A permanent board of inspection is formed upon each ship, which must consist of one engineer and two line of ficers. The duty of this board is period ically to make personal inspections of all the parts of the ship, examine every thing critically, suggest remedies for any evils that may be found to exist and to report to the commanding offi cer, for transmission to the navy de partinent, the condition of the vessel in detail. Uniforms are discarded while mak ing these inspections, and olad in sea men’s ordinary working suits these offi cers crawl upon all fours throughout the length of the bottom of the ship, wrig gle snakelike through narrow openings and examine with their own eyes every inch of the surface of the thin steel plates. The paint of these compart ments, softened by dampness in some places and by heat and the steam laden air of the boiler rooms in others, rubs off upon the working suits, and an hour’s crawling transforms the neat officer into a very sorry spectacle. In some modern navies this duty is per formed by the enlisted-men, the officers being excused from it, but in our navy the feeling exists that an enlisted man should not be asked to go where an offi cer is not willing to lead. Tho result is that “things always work” with the Americans and the efficiency of the fleet is assured. Numerous precautions must be taken to avoid the risk of losing life while performing this duty, for it is attended with no little danger. The atmosphere of confined spaces entirely or partly closed for a considerable length of time becomes robbed of its oxygen in the formation of rust and is soon made unfit to sustain life. If possible, such com partments are blown out with pure air led through a hose from a blower duct and all manhole plates removed before being entered. A lighted candle is al ways carried by tho inspecting officer upon his crawling tour. If the caudle burns dimly or seems upon the point of being extinguished, there is a deficiency of oxygen, and he will immediately seek the nearest opening leading from the compartment and leave it at once. Men are stationed at places as near as possible to him, so that they may hear his voice and render immediate assist ance in case of need. No one is allowed to enter any confined space on board ship without an uncovered light, al though in addition a portable electrio light is carried frequently to render the inspection more thorough. It not infrequently happens that offi cers and men become so wedged between bulkheads aud beams while performing this duty as to make it extremely diffi cult to remove them, and more than one officer of the navy is upou the retired list today because of permanent injury to his health contracted while perform ing this arduous laJSbr. Because of thfe care exercised it is rare that a life is lost in flu ewvice, but in one case at t the tasli&tas of a man proved fatal to him. tO»s flf the main boilers of the cruin i flagship of the south Atlantic station, having been tightly closed for a month, while empty, in order to preserve it from deteriora tion, the coppersmith of that vessel, an energetic, faithful man, thought its in terior should be examined and, al though warned repeatedly never to en- • u h a boiler without au open light, removed an upper manhole plate aud crawled iu upon the braces with an Ahotrio light. He told no oue that he was going into the Isiiler, aud no oue was stationed to assist him in case of need. His dead body was found half out an I half in the b ib*r mauh lo with th electrio light still burning brightly within the boiler. He had evidently crawled in upon the braces, felt a faint ness creeping over him aud had en deavored to regain the open air, but lost consciousness just as life lay Jvithin bis reach, and so died asphyxiat; u The air iu the boiler had been entir# ly robbed of its oxygen by the iron of the shell in the formation r»f rust u aud the residuum was unfit to breathe.
