nevertheless be forced into war. The
danger is that there might be an anti
Japanese riot in San Francisco or
elsewhere on the Facifi Coast. This
would stir up popular passion both in
th United States and Japan. In this
country it might easily be followed
by public opinion demanding and se
curing the enactment by Congress
of a Japanese exclusion bill. This, in
turn, would inflame public opinion in
Japan. For a long time it has been
believed by the best-informed offic
ials and diplomats that the enactment
of an exclusion law by the United
States would be inevitably followed
by war with Japan. In settling the
immigration matter, tt is understood
there is no treaty, nor even an ex
change of formal notes, but that none
the less, the so-called "yellow peril
is a ghost laid to rest
BOUNDING THE INFINITE.
Are the Number of Stars In Spao
Without Limit f
How many stars are there? It la not
known, but most astronomers believe
the number Is not unlimited. The ar
,ment la that with an Infinite uni
verse of aura the heaven would be
one uniform blaze of tight The more
distant stars are. of course, dimmer:
some are too far away to affect the
naked eye at all, but no matter now
alight the units an Infinite number of
them would produce the effect
acrfbed.
a there la no uniformly biasing sky,
the number of stars, though possibly
Immensely great, must be nmitea
This anrament Is snoDlemented In a
recent astronomical paper by a similar
one drawn from gravitation. Every
star, no matter how distant exercises
Its own power of attraction on every
other heavenly body. Incinatng our
earth.
However, as the earth's center Is
farther away from the attracting body
than Its surface Is. particles on the
earth's surface are attracted with
greater force than those at the center,
and the practical result Is to lessen the
force with which the earth's mass Is
held together.
Now, if the number of stars is infi
nite, this decrease would be so great
that weight on the earth would practi
cally cease to exist. Moreover, the
same conditions would prevail every
where throughout a boundless universe
and probably all masses would be dis
rupted. That this result does not oc
cur is a proof, we are told, that the
number of heavenly bodies In exist
ence is not Infinite.
These arguments make certain as
sumptions that may or may not be
granted; they can neither be proved nor
disproved. The argument from light as
sumes that light waves are transmit
ted through space without loss; that
from gravitation assumes that the
same thing is true for gravitational
attraction.

ment, but Novor Arrlvo A Riot of
Brokon Up Rainbow In th Valley.
The most perplexing thing about
Hawaii's climate to th new arrival
Is the matter of rainfall. Sou begin
to fxperkuc tula perplexity before
you have set foot on the dock at Hono
lulu, when you consult auxloualy with
jour fellow traveler aa to th advisa
bility of digging out an umbrella or
rainproof before you go ashor. Th
cbaocea are that you ar all convinced
that the heavy veil of black clouda
which shuts out portion of the moun
tain scenery from view and th few
drops of rain which the fresh shore
breese dasht in your race nae uasu-
lug Jewels torn from that bit of rain
bow ar warnings too plain to b Ig
nored, and you prepare accordingly for
the downpour which seems Imminent.
you observe with some surprise that
tioue of the wearer of the dainty cos
tume you pasa on the street appear to
be lu th least perturbed by th possi
bility of getting caught In the Impend
ing shower until after awhile It dawns
ou you that the storm keeps right ou
lumeuding-nud nothmg more. As you
ride in a street car aloug the flashing
soabeaeh, vivid with color of break
ing surf and of dowers In trees and
hedges along the way, the sunshine
never appeared so brilliant. But uff to
the left in a beautiful little valloy
lucked like a deep pocket lu the moun
tains and seemingly scarcely half a
lull awsv there can be no doubt of
the fact that a good, heavy rain la fall
ing. The sunlight striking tnrougn
ttw fallins droos fills the valley with
a elorr of broken up rainbows a riot
of mior that causes one to gasp and
exclaim In admiration. There can be no
doubt that the rain we have aeen fall

seems, for the wind now and then Car
rie refreshinsr dashes of It Into th

fectly dry and the sunshine aa bright

Five minute later w leave the car

la time one teams that Hawaii a en
mat. u nurvlv a matter of locality;
that the report of the rainfall for any
given time, published by the initeo
smtM weather bureau, does not mean
for every place in the territory nor for
the island of Oahu nor even for tne
city of Honolulu, but only for the
place where the rain gauge stands. It
would not be true for a place half or
three-quarters of a mile away. One

under very different, condition as to
nrwtnltatlon. according to location, in
some of the valleys rain falls practi
cally every day of the year and varies
In amount in different parts of th?
snme vallev. which may be only a mile
or two lone. There are other sections
in which the splendid lawns and bow
ers of areen follaze which surround
beautlful homes are only possible
through constant Irrigation. And there
are to be found almost every degree of
moisture between these extremes.
I.Ike even-where else, one finds peo
nle of even- turn of mind in Honolulu
as to the most desirable places in
which to live. In sections where the
rainfall may amount to two or three
hundred inches per year vegetation
flourishes most luxuriantly and with a
i minimum of attention. There Is also
i an absence of humid feeling In the at
mosphere or disagreeable dampness
' which one usually associates with

, by the fact that the rain comes In
showers, of which a dozen or more

KIDNEYS
SIKtNGTH OF AN EAGLE.
Wonderful Power In th Bird's Clvs
and Leg.
Vull I cannot slve any osltlve
proof of how much a bald eagle can
carry, I should suppose, ueoiaivn
writer lu Forest mid Stream, mat no
could carry at least as much In pro
portion to lit weight as a bawls or a
horned owl. I have the recorded
weight of a male bald eagle wolchmj
nlno and a uuartcr pounds mid f
male weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh rrom tour
to five pounds, and I have several
time known oue to carry oft a lur::e
house cat. One cat was very large,
and tho owner told me he could hoar
the cat cry as he was being carried
off. Now, any one who will weigh a
largo house cat will find It to weigh
at least ten pounds.
I have aoen a goshawR carry ou
hen fully twice Its own weight, and t
have taken from a marsh hawk a very
large chicken which would weigh
more than twice what the hawk would.
The marsh hawk is one ol our weak
est hawks, but ho had carried uus
chicken over a Quarter of a mile. My
belief la that If a hawk or honied ow i
can crry morn thau twice Its weight
(and I know positively that they can)
then an eagle could, If oeeaaloo re-
nulivd da as much lu urotwrtlon to
his weight, which would be to carry
eighteen or twenty pounds.
One when an eagle, shot through
th body with a rifle ball, lay on bis
back I np ended a long road saw ana
dmnned It on him. Before It reached
him he stretched up and caught It to
his claw and held tt the lengtn or
hi lmrs above him. I walked UD 00

easily held me and the skid, wnien
should Judge would weigh mor than
twenty pounds. I took pain to D

SAVANT RETURNS.
With Numerous Specimens For Mu
Seum in New York.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Dr.
G. A. Dorsey, curator of the Guild
Museum of New York arrived here
yesterday on the Pacific Mail liner
Korea with a large collection of
valuable scientific specimens which
he has gathered in the Orient for the
museum. Dr. Dorsey began his in
vestigation in Egypt where he un
covered the tombs of the fifth dynas
ty. He spent some time in India
where he made a study of Hindoo
culture. The curator spent a. large
part of his time in Australia wher :
he made a study of the museums of
Melbourne and Sydney. He crossed
the Island of Bougainville which he
said had never been explored by a
white man. This island which is m
the Solomon group is 60 miles wide
and it is so densely wooded that he
was five days in crossing it. Tne
doctor said that the natives of the
islands are entirely uncivilized, wca:-
ing no clothing and sleeping in the
hollow trunks of trees and holes in
the ground.
Dr. Dorsey made his largest col
lection on the coast of New Cuicna
where he gathered an extensive lot
of native implements. He will pro
ceed directly to Chicago where he
will place the collection in the Field
Museum.
