DIRECTIONS IN HAWAII.
An Island Which Uilm No Xorth, South,
EhM or Went.
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

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.

FAIRYLAND.
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.

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

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.

A DANGEROUS DUTY.
INSPECTING DOUBLE BOTTOMS IN
OUR NAVAL VESSELS.
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. A
