The digging up of three rusty—but loaded and ready to go off —shells in Kaplolani Park recently, and the facts of their history as dug up for the Advertiser, started a flood of old-time ’‘revolution*’ reminiscences, one of the most interesting of which dealt with the presentation to Hawaii of the particular Austrian battery with which the old shells were connected. It appears that when King Kalakaua was making his royal tour of Europe, being entertained by kings and emperors, he wandered to the capital of the Austrian monarch, Emperor Franz Joseph. Byway of impressing upon his Sandwich island royal cousin the greatness of Austria-Hungary, the emperor took Kalakaua to a grand field review, where Austrian gunners shot holes in targets to demonstrate the Austrian field pieces had no peers existing, especially when Austrian marksmen sighted them. Kalakaua was properly impressed, so much so, in fact, that he ventured to ask the price of a battery, such as he had seen in use. He intimated that he might find business, at the Crossroads of the Pacific, for just such wicked implements of death, especially as the “Supremacy of the Pacific” idea was Incubating in his headpiece. He was told, very politely, that Austria’s cannons were not on the market, but that, as from monarch to monarch, the ruler of Austria might make the ruler of the Sandwich islands a gift of a few guns. The gift was made apd Kalakaua shipped his battery to where it was used later in Kapiolahl Park to scatter the revolutionists out against the republic and perched along Diamond Head ridge. The sequel to the presentation is the funny part of the story, however. Kalakaua came home in triumph from bis trip, and his Austrian guns barked out a welcome which reminded him. The trip had cost money, even if there, had been no hotel bills, so Rex sat him down and made out a bill to the legislature for ‘his guns. The figures on the bill -called for $29,00®, which the legislature had to appropriate and pay over 'to the private treasurer of the royal household. For a gift, those guns came high.— Pacific Advertiser. To Heat City With Electricity. It is planned to electrically heat the dwellings and business houses of Stavanger, Norway, and the board of directors of the electric light plant at that place has asked permission from the city council to make contracts up to a consumption of 100 horse power. It has been suggested that the price for current thus used shall be $6.70 per horse power (746 watts) per year. It is also planned to heat the government and city buildings in that manner. The population of Stavanger is 38,000 and the city has water power facilities to furnish 25,000 horse power for electrical purposes. Home Mascot. The household cat has the commendation of no less a personage than the president of the University of iCalifornia, who says, regarding this little animal: “I am one of the persons who is iwell disposed toward the household cat. It has always seemed to me that humming of the tea kettle was cheerier when the cat is content on the rug. Whatever the cause of it, the cat is an individual which has made homes a little sweeter and gladder and by which many a lonely woman has been cheered.’’ 1 Good Sense a Prized Possession. ! Good sense is a fund, slowly and painfully accumulated through the labor of centuries. It is a jewel of the first water, whose value he alone understands who has lost it or who observes the lives of others who have lost it. For my part, I think no price too great to pay for gaining it and keeping it for the possession of eyes that see and a judgment that discerns. One takes good care of his sword that It be not bent or rusted; with greater reason should he give heed to his thoughts.—Charles Wagner. 1 “Gag” That Upset Bernard.

CRATERS ARE QUIET

Violent Eruptions in Islands of Samoa at End. Scientists Say Centuries Are Likely to Pass Before There Will Be Another Flow of Lava From Volcano. San Francisco.—The volcanic outbursts that for over six years have terrorized the Island of Savail, in the Samoan group, have ceased at last. These eruptions have been almost incessant, and there is no record of any other volcanic center that has been so violently active for so long a time. All the terrific energy of the Matavanu volcano seems now to have been expended. Dr. K. Sapper, Dr. W. Grevel and other students of volcanic phenomena express the opnion that there probably will be no other eruption of Matavanu. for another eentury and perhaps never. The ground for their belief that the volcanic energy has been entirely exhausted is that sineb the first month of 1911 there has been a gradual and uninterrupted decline of energy, until every trace of it finally disappeared in October last., In August last the lake of molten lava was covered with a hard crust, but cracks in its surface still revealed the rosy light of the superheated matter below, and through one or another volcanic vent a little smoke was still rising. Three months later a cold surface covered everything. There was not a trace g>f smoke, not a sulphurous’ odor, no sign of fluid lava, nothing except a little steam here and there. So this is the end, perhaps for generations, of the remarkable phenomena that specialists have traveled from Europe to study. The trouble has been that they have found little vantage ground from which to pursue their work. The ebullitions have been so continuous that It has been impossible to witness the phenomena and their results except at long range. There was no volcano where these eruptions, beginning In August, 1905, were. centered. All the many volcanoes In the island had been quiescent for over a century. Suddenly volcanic vents were opened on the floor of a deep valley about eight miles from the northeast coast of Savali. The whole valley was soon filled with lava. The ejecta built up a ridge of lava, about 1,000 feet thick, where the valley had been; and above the ridge arose a mountain of outpourings 2,000 feet high, to which the name of Matavanu was given. Over 30 square miles of the -island were finally covered to various depths with the fluid lava, “destroying many native houses with their areas of cultivation. It has been estimated that at times the outpouring of lava from the center of eruption amounted to from 2,000 to 3,000 tons a minute. The coral reef, about five miles from the shore, is the outer boundary of the lagoon between the coast and the reef. The lagoon has been entirely filled with lava for a distance of about five miles along the coast and a long lava ridge was built up in the sea beyond the coral

Dies In Attempt to Sleep

Man in Habit of Using Chloroform to Obtain Rest—Wife Finds Him Dead in the Morning. Chicago—Delbert H. Woodward, Jr., twenty-three years Old, who married four months ago, was found dead from chloroform in his home, 1241 La Salle avenue. He was a salesman for James R. Rhodes & Co., 162 West Klnzie street, manufacturers of chem Icals. A coroner’s jury returned a verdict that he was accidentally killed by an overdose of chloroform, which he was in the habit of using to produce sleep. “Since my husband got work as a salesman he worried a great deal and became nervous,” Mrs. Woodward testified. “He used chloroform to produce sleep. I bad warned him against it, but he said it was his only relief. When 1 returned home at 10 o’clock last uight he was in bed with a handhis face. 1 had seen him sIW) that way before and 1 did

DOG FIGHTS WITH FIREMEN Canine Would Not Permit Them to Enter Blazing Tenement to Quench Flames. Philadelphia.—An old and feeble, but somewhat determined dog created considerable excitement in a three-story tenement house at 623 Washington avenue, first by starting a fire, then giving the alarm, and lastly by beating back the firemen who came to extinguish the blaze. The troublesome animal is the property of Santa Accarito, who occupies the top floor of the house. While , the occupants of the house were asleep the dog knocked a lamp from a table, setting fire to the carpet. With loud barks the dog aroused his master, who quickly gave the 'alai’m, and all in the house fled to the street, except the dog. When the firemen arrived and attempted to enter, they found a very much excited canine standing in the doorway ready to repel boarders. Although somewhat senile, the dog showed a formidable row of teeth, and the firemen hesitated. Finally one, somewhat bolder than the rest, flung the dog to one side and the fire fighters entered.

Schwab Plans Big Dock

May Construct World’s Largest Ship Plant In San Francisco. San Francisco. —One possible reason why Charles M. Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel company and the Union works has decided to build the most capacious dry dock in the world at Hunters Point, San Francisco, was made known by Edward ,C. Holmes of this city, who prepared tentative plans for Mr. Schwab’s inspection. In anticipation of the new business that will be brought to the Pacific coast by the opening of the Panama canal private capital, aided by a subsidy of 3 1-3 per cent from the Dominion government to run for 35 years, will build a dry dock 928 feet long at Esqulmalt, R. C., on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Holmes drew the plans. “So far as I know,” he "said “the largest docks in the world now complete are those at Glasgow, 880 feet size; Southampton, 830, and Bremerhaven, 755. The new dock at Esquimau will outmeasure them all, and Mr. Schwab is planning to outmeasure Esquimalt. “I am not in his confidence and do not know what his final decision will be, but when I drew tentative plans for him they contemplated a dock 1,-» 050 feet long. “In return for aid from the Dominion government the company at Esqulmalt will give government business

Gaston, a small farmer, was supposed to have died suddenly and after the death certificate had been given the funeral took place. When earth was being shoveled on the coffin one of the grave diggers thought he heard groans coming from the open grave. The men stopped work and as they heard sounds they sent for a doctor and raised the coffin. The lid was wrenched off and the shroud torn aside. The gravediggers say it was evident that the body, which was still warm, had moved. When the doctor arrived he tried artificial respiration, but he was too late.

FATHER WAS WIFE’S ADMIRER Son Attacks and Beats Parent Who Comes to Visit Him After Fifteen Years of Separation. San Bernardino, Cal. —When Oscar Johnson was about to enter his home he saw a stranger embracing his wife. The husband seized a brick, rushed into the house and struck the stranger such a tremendous blow on the head that he was knocked unconscious and may have suffered a fractured skull. Then Johnson investigated and found that the unconscious man was his own father, O. W. Johnson, of Peoria. 111., whom he had not seen for fifteen years, and who had come here to surprise his son with a visit. When Mrs. Johnson saw her husband strike his father she went into hysterics and became threatened with complete nervous breakdown. She declared she would seek a divorce from a husband whose jealousy was so unreasonable and whose suspicions were so unfounded. Johnson said he wculd take a second look before he leaped again, and sought a physician, who probably will attend both the wife and father for some time. •*» » , —« German Women Good Rat Killers, Baltimore, Ind. —When customs officers opened a goods box of a woman passenger on the steamer Breslan, on its arrival here, a dozen giant rats hopped out.

Every article in the box, including several picture hats and shawls, was destroyed by the rats.

John T. MacAuley of Louisville, Ky., Starts Something New in Philanthropy. Louisville, Ky.-—This city boasts what is perhaps the first asylum for homeless pigeons in the country. The philanthropy is the idea of Col. John T. MacAuley, veteran theatrical manager, who has built the hospital on the cottage plan, capable of accommodating thousands of birds, in the rear of his theater in the heart of the business district. Destruction of numerous landmarks recently, incident to an extension of the retail and office district, has distributed the ancestral homes of legions of downtown pigeons and their bewildered flights in search of new habitation attracted the benevolent eye of Col. MacAuley, who immediately set carpenters at work on the asylum.

DIG UP $3,000 ON FARM Heirs of Eastern Woman Dying at 97 Act on Sealed Instructions. Allentown, Pa.—lnstructions left in a sealed packet led the heirs of Miss Sallie Bennihoff of this city, who died two weeks ago, to dig up the ground of her two farms near Lynn, at places minutely described, where they have unearthed over $3,000 in gold and bank notes, which she had buried. The finding of the money solved the mystery of a strange light which neighbors had often seen in the meadows of the woman at night Miss Bennlnghoff, who was 97 years old, left about $50,000 in farms and securities to her nieces and nephews.

"HI ~TFAdvertising n Talks flj |c oj BIG SUM FOR ADVERTISING Brazil to Spend $5,000,000 for Publicity of Hei* Resources —Money Well Invested. Brazil believes in advertising. She believes that just as an individual may have resources he desires advertised, and advertising which will pay the individual, so may a nation have resources she desires to advertise and the advertising of which may prove profitable to the nation. So Brazil has decided to spend $5.000,000 in order that the world may know something of her resources. She is going to advertise just as a,n individual or a company would do so —go into the magazines and newspapers with paid matter and set forth In display type and otherwise the reasons for seeking population and trade. Brazil will get a great more than five million dollars’ worth of advertising for her money, says the Dayton (O.) News. She Is already getting favorable publicity—which is advertising—and the very fact that the country is so progressive that she proposes making an advertising appropriation, is worth much to her, as it is being exploited. That is one feature of advertising which many advertisers do not understand —a part of the psychology of advertising which they do not and can not figure upon. It is worth something to a concern to be known as a large advertiser, something over and above the value which comes from the advertising matter itself. It makes an impression upon the mind, some way, and that impression is valuable. You may never read one of Brazil s advertisements, for Instance Yet by knowing that the country is advertising, you are bound to have a higher regard for It than if it had never advertised. You will notice all the more readily apy article pertaining to the country; you will think of Brazil more quickly, when thinking of South America, than you will of any other country down there. It will be the first country to attract your attention when you glance at a map, and when you go Into a store and are shown a commodity grown In Brazil, you will be mofe likely to purchase it. And what pertains to tills advertising ofBrazll pertains to the firms here in the United States that advertise.

LOCAL ADVERTISING NEEDED Necessary to Clinch Interest of Prospective Buyer of Auto for Home Dealer. “Motor cars can be advertised, with a marked degree of success, In publications of national circulation; but local newspaper advertising is the force that is needed to concentrate the interest of prospective buyers on the dealer bight there at home,” says A. W. McCalmont, advertising manager of the Jackson Automobile Co. of Jackson, Mich. “National publicity is necessary, so is local publicity. One without the other can go only far enough to fall short of the mark. The car that aims to be a success must, of course, build up a national reputation, and that means national advertising. On the other hand, the national advertising must be crystallized Into local Interest, and to do that and focus the power of the national publications on the dealer requires space in the newspapers. “Suppose, for example, you read an alluring automobile advertisement tn one of your weekly or monthly magazines, and you are Interested to the point of promising yourself to look that car up. Four or five days or a week slip by; and you’ve done nothing—perhaps because you had no idea where to go to see the car. You open your newspaper some morning —or evening—and there Is an advertisement on the same car. It gives the name of the dealer, his street address —even his telephone number. Your waning Interest Is revived when you learn where the car can be inspected. We won’t say the newspaper closes the sale—but if it takes you to the door of the salesroom, It has done its work, and done it well. The rest is u;> to the salesman inside, but his way has been smoothed —first by the national, then by the local newspaper advertising.” Advertising Like the Ministry. “Advertising is an art. Its exponents must therefore be students. It is like no other profession as much as it is like the ministry. You have to get people to do what you want them to do and make them pay you for doing it You must appeal to the heart and not to the mood. Be honest The world judges the character of a store by its advertisements.” —Rev. George Wood Anderson, St Louis, Mo. Truth Is Safe Anywhere. A sales talk made out of the absolute truth can be left anywhere without protection, but the whole of the national guard and the regular army, backed by the navies of all nations, cannot keep a lying sales talk from playing the star part as the victim of an assault and battery episode.— Thomas Dreier.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING NOT GOVERNED BY RULES By BERT M. MOSES, President Association of American Advertisers. Many things in life are more ©r less regulated by fixed rules. “ There are precedents to?follow, and experience goes a long way toward telling us what to do next time. In advertising, however, it is my belief that there are no fixed laws, and ; success is something that has to be : worked out Independently of what has I been done by others. , In brief, every man ha? to work out his own salvation. The thing that wins today is likely to make a failure tomorrow. Not so very long ago one of the biggest and most successful advertisers of today, in introducing his product, gave a dozen packages of goods free to every retailer in his line. The response to the advertising that followed this gift was quick and almost universal. The goods went with a surprising rush, and the sale still continues big. Naturally the advertiser thought the underlying cause of his success was the giving away of free goods. Quite recently this same advertiser introduced another article in the same territory where he had made his previous big success. He followed identically the same plan of giving l away free goods, and used precisely the same mediums for his advertising. The second article, by the way, was one which is presumably far more standard than the first. Now, do you suppose this advertiser duplicated his first success on his second venture? Not on your life, Helen! He made just as big a failure in the instance as he made a big success in the first. What the trouble was no one really knows, although a dozen different good reasons might be given by a dozen different men. Frequently it appears advisable to promote an article which sells at a popular price on the theory that many more people will buy something if the price is small than if it is big. Theoretically, this is a beautiful proposition, but sometimes it fails when put to the test The biggest selling safety razor in the United States retails at $5. Before the advertising was started i I don’t suppose you could find one ; man in 50 who agreed with the pro- ( moter that success was probable for i a common article like a razor that i was going to be sold at such a prohibitive prize. However, the man believed in the scheme, and made millions out of it He has made these millions in competition with dozens of other safety razors at all sorts of prices. I saw a safety razor the other day that was priced at 10 cents, and it looked as though it might shave pretty well, too. ■> The reasons for this apparent paradox could be given by the dozen, perhaps, but to me the big reason is this: f f The $5 razor man had faith plus in his idea that he pushed the thing to the full of his belief and faith. He worked out his own salvation regardless of rules and precedents, and that is what every advertiser has got to do if he wants to arrive at that point where he can buy full pages in the newspapers and have money to pay his bills.

At last Sunday evening’s -ewices of his church a larger number of pews than usual were vacant, and. while he did not at that time comment on the remisaness of the absent flock, in one of the town’s newspapers this week the following advertisement appeared: “MISSED —Last Sunday, some familiar faces and familial from the services of the Methodist Epiecopa*. church. Any person with a spirit oi loyalty who will restore one or more of these to their accustomed place will in nowise lose a reward from the great head of the church and from hk servants, the pastor and his eo-work ers.” » Needless to say, the erstwhile empty pews ceased to be empty.

The res- - r was Charles M. Mortoh, a member of the Second Michigan regiment, tnd the man he saved was Capt. (later rolonel) William B.

The broad yard through which I had :ome the evening before lay under the dawn as full of wounded and dead men as were the houses. “I walked among them, looking into the faces to see if I’ could recognize any one. As I passed along, there came a voice: ‘“For God’s sake, Charley, Is that you?’ s “I looked down. The face that was looking at me was incrusted with blood and mud and was unrecognizable. “ ‘Who are you?’ I asked. “Tm “Cap,”’ he gasped; “It was Captain McCreery of company G, of which I was a member, and ifterward colonel of the Twenty-first Michigan regiment. He had been wounded in three places, in the thigh, irm and body. I don’t know flow I jot an ambulance for him, but I did. Since that day I have not seen ntr watch, and probably I gave it to the, irlver of the ambulance so that he would take the captain and me to the river.
