Ifr If Stranger almost than the "Manuscript found in a Copper Cylinder" is the copy of a map which came across seas to Honolulu from a Buddhist Temple in the mountains of central Japan. It is a map of the world made 1000 years ago. Dr. Kobayashi, the well-known Japanese physician and surgeon of Honolulu, has received a copy of the map, which he believes to have been made by Chinese priests ten centuries ago. The map is drawn on the principle of the Mcrcator Projection showing the North Pole as the center of a circle in which arc the continents of North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

"The map was found by my brother in a Japanese temple in the mountains of Japan," said Dr. Kobayashi. "It has been hidden from the Japanese government 111 modern times just as it was in ancient tunes, for in olden days such a map would have been destroyed by tlic authorities. According to a letter the original map was brought from China by a Buddhist priest and concealed in this temple. "Ten years ago my brother was a consumptive.

Although I was a physician he did not wish to be treated with medicines. lie decided to go into the mountains and attempt a cure by himself. For ten years he has remained there and used his will power to effect a cure. Today he is a well man. During his stay there he found this map.

lie evolved from it a theory of the flatness of the earth, despite all modern facts showing it to be a sphere. This theory has been his one aim in life. He is an artist and in order to demonstrate his theory he made beautiful drawings, picturesque and attractive to the eye, in which mechanical, astronomical and engineering TWO Mill NTS ARE RENDERED William Jlcnry obtained directed verdict against A.

GOVERNOR HAWAIIAN GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1907 SIGNS DEATH WARRANT Governor Carter yesterdny signed tho deuth warrant of Jtorita Kaizo, tho Jnpnneso convicted of murder In tha first degree in Hilo last March, Tho murder was a brutal one. tha victim having been called from his room on New Year's evening and beaten with 11 club, nnd afterwards butchered with a Jnpancsj; cleaver. The murderer and his victim were rivals for tho position of leader In tho notorious Klnnkashl gang, tho former leader, whoso name tho crowd boro.

On one chnrgo thoy wero sentenced to and years, respectively, nnd on the conspiracy chargo each was given nn additional ten years. Theso men nro now In Oahu penitentiary.

When tho matter was brought beforo the Supreme Court It was not argued, tho attorney merely submitting a brief, nnd on this showing tho Judgment of the lower court was confirmed, Judge Gear then nnnounced that he would appeal the case to Washington on tho question of legality of tho 'action of a circuit court Judgo In naturalizing nllens.

ods arc shown. "My brother goes back to the days of Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci who, he says, sailed for a new country believing that by sailing directly in one general direction they would ultimately come to the place. "We moderns know that a vessel sailing from a port and going luiiiiiiuiuiy 111 eneiui eusierij manner win arrive at tne same piacc. The vessel, of course, goes around the globe. My brother's theory is that one sails about a vast plane as one would sail around the edges of a bowl." The illustrations accompanying the map arc beautiful examples of Japanese art.

No more attractive book of geography has ever been compiled. It is a mass of cherry blossoms, Fujiyamas, beau tiful blue seas dotted with the sails of junks and sampans. There are landscapes and seascapes and bizarre pictures of Japanese women, designed along old-time styles. But in every sheet of such pictures tlic engineering lines are brought out in a way that docs not mar the picture. With the text matter explaining each page, tfie geography should be easily understood.

Dr. Kobayashi now has all the original sheets, scores of them, and these he will return to Japan to his brother, who intends to have them put in the hands of publishers. It will be one of the most novel publications of the period. The original map of which a copy drawn by Dr. Kobayashi' brother, and of which the accompanying cut is a tracing, is worm-eaten and barely holds together.

The above map with all the continents and even the Ilawaian Islands shown, was evidently not made by the priests who traced the original lines.

on the 19th Inst, from consumption. Commenting on the sad occurrence, tho Seoul Press remarks that tho Intelligence hardly comes In the na ture of a surprise, ns tho condition of Mr. Haywood's health when ho left Seoul gavo only tho slightest hope even of partial recovery. Mr. Haywood was nt one time Consul General to Hawaii nnd earned warm commendation from his olllclal superiors by his performance of tho delicate nnd dltilcult duties which devolved upon him during the war between Spain and the United States, nnd afterwards during the prevalence of tho bubonic plague at Honolulu.

Mr. Haywood was appointed to his responsible position at Seoul only short time before tho unfortunate breakdown of his health. ItEPAIItS ON THE MIKASA. Wo learn from a Toklo message that the repairs to the battleship Mlkasa at Sascbo have mado great progress. Tho work tho outshlo of the vessel has been completed and tho icpnlrs to tho Interior have already been commenced.

It Is believed that the expenditure ro. quired will be much lower than was originally estimated, as tho damage to the battleship has proved not to be so great as was supposed. The expectation Is that the Mlkasa will be fit to bo placed on the actlvo list again some tlmo next year. MONEY FROM RUSSIA. According to a Toklo messago to the Osaka JIJI, It Is reported at capital that the amount to be received by the Japanese Government from Russia for the maintenance of tho prisoners of war In Japan hns now been Anally fixed at the comparatively small sum ot yen.

Frederick S. Church, an American painter whose personality lias mado him popular with many of his brother artists and wiio is widely known hero for iiis paintings of imaginative subjects, recently, at the ago of sixty-four, returned from his first trip to Europe and gave to the Herald his impressions of what ho lind seen there, ho created an international episode. Neither Mr. Church nor his critics, both here and abroad, have minced matters; but wliilo his views have generally beuu condemned ns extreme, lie lilis found some defenders in part, as both tuc European edition of the Herald and the special cable despatches to the Herald buvo reported. Hero are some of the things said by Mr.

Church: "I subscribe to 'Fred' Remington's gospel, 'To hell with Europe! I thought tlio Louvre a tenor. You have to wado through; an immenso gallery of stuff to sue a few fmo things. What Impressed me most about the old masters was thnt they did too much work. In tho Xntional Gallery I saw a Jot of people standing with a rapt expression before a big Ilaphoel, wMch is dark and hard, and which I wouldn't have for a gift. In all of Kmopo I didn't see ui landscape painting, whether by Turner or any ono else, that touched Homer Martin's 'Sand Dimes of Lako On- which hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art." Tho artist added, howover, that pictuics played a secondary part on his torn, or, as lie phrased it.

"liguratively speaking, 1 went through tho p'cturc galleries on roller skates." Putting it mildly, Mr. Chinch's remarks created amnzemen1, in omo instances, however, rs it is only fail to liim to state, mingled w'tli admiration fo' 11 man who has shown the eourago of his convictiors. Mr. Ilolatid of Messis. Knoedler who commented moro sarcastically on the interview than any ono else, asked if "Mr.

Church might not by niistako havo gono to tho Mngazin do Louvro instead of to tho Musoum." Mr, Louis H. Khrtct, of tho Elnich Galleries, agreed with tho artist in his estimate of American landscapo jainting. "On tho other hand," added Mr. Ehrich, "tho great galleries of Europo contain cxairplcD of tho o'd mailers which far surpass anything that is created todny or likely to bo produced in many a long day to come." Mr. Blakeslce, of the Illakesleo Galleries, chnracterizzed tho attack as "silly." "After tho consensus of many minds, lay nnd professional, expressed in hundreds of years," said Mr.

Elliott nobody will suffer oxcept Mr. Church. I tnko it that neither tho Louvro nor tho galleries of Holland will closo thoir doors." "It must bo remembered," Baid Mr. Irving It. Wiles, "that this was Mr.

Church's first visit to Europe. The sort of thing you seo over thero docs not dnwn on you at once." Mr. William M. Chase frequently goes abroad nnd hns studiod tho great galleries of Europo thoroughly. "Hnd Mr.

Church been young tran," was this artist's comment, "nnd with art schooling, which ho never had, ho would have diffcront story to toll. Ho is a typical American, loved by every one who knows him, yet his intense Americanism has prejudiced him against that which ho found on tho other side." -H WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD COLD You want a remedy that will give you promot relief.

Giant eucalypti 70 to SO feet high and 7 or 8 feet In circumference toppled and fell during the short cork-screw gusts from the southeast. Stables and servants' quarters wero smashed In by falling trees, pineapples leveled, cane-leaves whipped and frayed, and the ground so strewn with branches, bark and leaves that yards and lawns appeared as though a thousand demons hnd been having "rough houso" there.

Last Friday night the December meeting of the Makawao Literary Society was held nt Maunaolu Seminary and took tho form of a musical recital by Miss Ormerod, who has recently came to Mnul as a teacher of music at tho school. Tho attendance was not so large as Is customary owing to bad weather but those present much enjoyed listening to Miss Ormerod's singing, as well ns tho piano music of Mrs. H. A.
