King M'Bora of Bataritari spent two
Lours at the Olympic club, and was
wobably more aniUMed and surprised
than by anything else he haa seen in
Sun Francisco. The members who were j
present practicing in the gymnasium J
gave an impromptu exhibition, which j
interested his South Sea majesty very
much, and he gave evidence of this in
grunts and by gestures of surprise, and
almost of fear, at some of the feats of
the athletes. The tumbling was a sur- ,
prise to him, and he could not under- '
stand, while . Professors Tronchet and
Chapins were fencing, how it was that '
they did not drop dead when struck by i
the foil. A burlesque boxing content
ending in a well "faked" knockout was
arranged for the king and his party.
Professor Do Witt Van Court and Philip
Bonlo were the boxers, and they gave
an exhibition which interested his island
majesty more than the genuine fight he
saw at the California club. At the end
Boulo was apparently knocked out, and
he was carried out of the room limp and
motionless. Of course he immediately
returned, and as he appeared the kin,

"There is so much to find fault with

the good, sweet, inodest facts connected

away from there the other day. The
building at 125 St. Mark's place was

which it now is. This school, which was
the first institution of the kind in Amer

that he was triad the little fellow had
not been killed, as he was so plucky.
After the exhibition King M'Bora and
bis party were shown through the Olym
pic club building. In the billiard room
he had his first meeting with a piece of
ice. His dusky majesty was given a
glass of ice water in response to a re
quest for a drink. He saw the piece of
ice floating in the water and could not
understand what it was. He put his
royal right hand into the glass and
seized the cube of ice, but immediately
dropped it and jumped back severely
frightened. After an explanation he
picked up the ice again and watched
it slowly melt in his hand. He seemed
to partially understand the philosophy
of the thing and gave an order for an ice
making machine, which he will take to
Butaritari with him to cool his royal
throat on hot summer days.
In the ladies' parlor the glass chande
lier was lighted by electricity, and the
king immediately wanted to know where
the oil tank was. He had had some ei:
perience with gas before. The first night
at his hotel, after having seen the gas
turned on and lighted, he nearly termi
nated his royal career by playing the
Farmer Wayback act. He turned on the
gas and lay down waiting for the gas U
light itself.
One of the members of the Olympic-
club who was going through the rooms
with the party wanted the king to talk
through the telephone. . His majesty
had already had an experience and w:u
so shocked that he did not care for
another. It was at Sutro Heights on
his visit Saturday. W. Lauterbach
who spent some time on the Gilbert
islands, went to the stables on the place
while the king was in Mr. Sutro's house.
When the telephone connection wa
made King M'Bora was asked to put the
receiver to his ear. As he did so !;
heard words in his native language, and
he dropped the instrument as if struck
by lightning. A long explanation could
hot fully satisfy his mystified majesty.
The king and his party remained at the
rooms of the club until nearly midnight.

branch of work now carried on not
only at the Wilson school and elsewhere
in this city, but in other American cities
and in Canada, England, Ireland, Scot
land and France. Miss Huntington has
made the mission house her home, and
here she watches day by day the results
of the methods which she has estab
lished. It is with a fascinating interest that
one listens to the tale of how by the
merest chance Miss Huntington, at
eighteen, just out of school and ready
to be ushered into fashion's pleasures,
chanced to be taken by a friend to visit
a "ragged school," and how the only
daughter of fond parents pat society
and the usual amusements of youth
aside, and not in the same manner; but
with the same motive as her cousin. Fa
ther Huntington, set herself about mis
sion school work.
Nobody could work with Miss Hunt
ington's energy and her capacity for or
ganizing without developing new ideas
which should bring forth more com
plete work, so as time passed on and she
gained experience, not only among the
poor, but with her own class, she made
various discoveries. One was that the
leisure of some of the young girls of her
acquaintance might readily be put to
good account, and another that kitchen
gardening might with profit be adapted
to the rich as well as the poor.
She obtained the co-operation of some
of the mothers and the interest of the
girl3, so that a meeting was called for
the purpose of developing a plan of
movement. Fifty girls met at the house
of oae of the elder women. This was in
1867. It was proved that most of them,
no matter how well versed they were in
Latin and geometry, knew absolutely
nothing about domestic science, so ar
rangements were made for forming a
normal class which should be divided
Into companies, these companies to go
to the mission for regular days of teach
ing. These young women, as their paths
divided, removed to Boston, Chicago
and elsewhere and set up kitchen gar
dens of their own, with the result that
the system has spread everywhere. It
might even be said with truth that the
other thought, that of the Working
Girls' clubs, emanated from this mis
sion, for Miss Grace II. Dodge was one
of the fifty young women who joined in
the work there, and it was no doubt be
cause of the experience she gained at this
time her idea was conceived and devel
oped. The girls became kitchen gardeners
themselves, and afterward, when mar
riage had placed some of them in homes
of their own, they wrote to the founder
of the system, "You have no idea how
kitchen warden helps me with my serv
ants and my houM.-Aeeping." and to
others it gave the means of livelihood
when unforeseen reverses of fortune
made them dependent upon their own
resources.
It mu.it be confessed that "kitchen
garden"' is a rather misleading name,
for it suggests to many a place where
vegetables are grown for kitchen use.
When Miss Huntington was aked about
the name, she said: "It means a system
by which all the intricacies of domestic
science are taught sweeping, dusting,
washing, ironing, waiting at table, etc.
I thought a little of changing the name
at one time because it was confounded
with the term vegetable garden, but I
found nothing that quite took its place,
and I soon discovered that the fact that
the name had to be explained gave it
additional importance."
The school hours are the same here as
elsewhere from 9 to 3. There are about
200 girls, ranging in age from five to ten,
and there are the usual lessons in read
ing, writing and arithmetic, which come
under the head of study. The training
in the kitchen garden branches is little
else than a systematized form of play,
and this takes up a proportionate part of
the school day. New York Tribune.

Nickel Armored Ships Can't Go North.
The remarkable discovery of the ef
fect of temperature on the density of
nickel steel is likely to have an im
portant bearing on its use in the con
struction of war vessels. After this va
riety of 6teel has been frozen it is read
ily magnetized, and, moreover, its den
sity is permanently reduced fully 2 per
cent, by the exposure to the cold. It i
stated that a ship of war built in the
tempciate climate of ordinary steel and
clad with say 3,00 tons of nickel steei
armor would be destroyed by a visit to
the arctic regions, owing to the con
traction of the steel by the extreme low
temperature. New York Journal.
