Hawaii is enjoying all of the thrills of a gold rush with the exception of the actual rush itself. The only reason why the rush has not yet occurred is that complete secrecy has been maintained as to discovery of gold. g ore assaying about 1,000 a ton is reported to have been discovered near here by David Walden, a recent arrival from Cambridge, Mass. Walden has so far refused to divulge any information relative to the whereabouts of his announced find except that it is on the southeastern section of the bland of Oahu and within a short distance of the shore line. He asserts that his sample, which was assayed here, was chipped from a large, rocky bland formation. Scientuts in Turmoil. Pending further developments relative to the discovery, scientific opinion in the islands has Ijeen thrown into a turmoil of opinions as to whether such a find here s possible. While most of the authorities are against such a possibility, a few are not so certain and no one will deny absolutely that it las not taken place and b not possible. Most geologists are Inclined to view the report with skepticism. They point out that the blands are of volcanic origin and that it b hardore would ly likely that be found, as minerals seldom, if ever, exbt in such formations. However, they refuse to make an absolute denial owing to the fact that all geological theories here were upset a year ago when, after long belief that clay deposits do not exbt in volcanic formations, some of the finest ceramic clay deposits in the United States were discov ered here. This belief was all the stronger owing to the fact that the early Hawaiians had neve? produced any ceramics, presumably because of the absence of clay on the islands. Geologbt Scouts Claim. Chester K. Wentworth, geologbt with the board of water supply, believes there b little basis for Walden's claims. "If gold should be found naturally in the rocks here, he said, it would be a most amazing discovery, since on all geological and grounds such an occurrence b exceedingly unlikely. The fact that gold has been discovered in the Fiji blands b no encouragement, since Fiji b an island where rocks like schist, gnebs, quartz and the like indicate probably former connection with continental land where gold deposits are found. However, it b not uncommon for mineral and rock specimens to turn up here occasionally that might even contain gold, but investigation of their origin usually shows that they have been brought here, generally as ballast for ships.

In most cases, says a writer in the New York Times, the sharks are caught in a very ingenious trap. The trap is merely a big float carved out of a long piece of soft wood. Through a hole in the center of the float there is fastened a length n of strong, cane rope, uiotted at one end and tied in a running noose at the other. Towing this curious contraption the bridegroom-to-b- e sets out in his tiny canoe. He takes along with lim several dead fish, one of which s tied at the end of a long stick. With this he seeks to attract the shark toward the canoe. When the shark draws near the fisherman places his trap in the water with the noose hanging downward. g Then, using the fish as bait, hie tempts the monster until, in order to secure the fish the shark thrusts its head through the cane noose. As it does so the noose tightens and the shark is caught. At once it plunges away in terror. The dragging float, exerting a pull on the noose, gradually forces the sharks jaws open and before long it chokes or drowns, and may be towed ashore. min-eralogic- al Ames, Iowa.

Milk that is more readily digestible nnd hence of special value in feeding infants ar.d convalescents can be mndc by subjecting ordinary cow's milk tc sound" waves such as are used fer determining ocean depths by means of the fathometer, according to a patent just granted to Edward W. Smith of Melrose, Mass. The process consists of a special method of or reducing the curd tension, "hardness" of milk. the The digestibility of milk, inventor points out in his patent, is dependent in a large measure upon the toughness of the curd which is formed in the stomach when the milk is acted upon by the stomach secretions. Some milk naturally forms a soft curd and other milk a hard curd. Cow's milk in general has a relatively high curd tension but this varies with different cows and also apparently with the season and other factors. The curd tension of milk can be re duced by boiling, but this is objectionable because of changes which arc produced in the milk. According to the inventor's method, ordinary cow's milk is skimmed of its cream until it contains no of one per cent more than of butterfat. Or, the cream may be entirely removed and this amount of butterfat added. Then the milk is passed through a chamof an inch wide, ber one wall of which comprises a metallic diaphragm which is rapidly vibrated electromagnetically. The compressional sonic waves so set up pass through the milk to homogenize and soften it. The initially removed cream is now added to the softened milk. In this way, points out the inventor, the resulting milk is the same as it was before treatment with the exception that the curd tension has been reduced. The cream still will rise to the top. This method of softening milk with sound waves can be introduced in regular dairy routine, either just before or just after the milk passes through the pasteurizing apparatus, it is stated in the patent. strong-smellin- New System of Counting It Used on Chinch Bugs Yc New Process Said to Render Fluid More Digestible. hand-wove- -- ,RANDs' WASHING MACHINES REPAIRED Before stoves were introduced to Vew gold-bearin- ...'55 i Washers Irons Vacuum Cleaners Lawn Mowers Sharpened a:d Repaired IDEAL REPAIR SHOP 1986 So. 11th E.

At West Texas State college, called the biggest matrimonial agency in this section, Miss M. Moss Richardson, professor of English, has provided a courting fence for freshmen. It is shameful that in the educational world generally teachers regard campus courtships lightly, or even flippantly," Miss Richardson says. It is even more deplorable that many ministers look uppon courtships of the young .with strained tolerance, or even suspicion. Courting is natural. To regard t lightly is to encourage an unwholesome attitude toward forming of relationships which should, naturally and happily, lead to establishment of good homes. The fence has been built of rock contributed by members of Miss Richardson's freshman classes and it is in front of the professors home on a street used by students going to and coming from town. The fence is just the height of a chair seat and is wide enough for comfortable sitting. SUGAR EOUSE COAL CO.
