Curiosities from Honolulu.

Says the Sydney .H0ratag Hsrald:- Some very
curious specimens Of lava have been shewn in Sgd
ney from the celebrated volcano. Mauna LOa, on the
island Of HiIo. near Honolulu This volcano, Il may
not BE- generally known. is BY far the largest in the
world. rising TO q height Of about 1900 feet Above
the IsTsI Of the sen, although the crater is situated
At n considerably less altitude. This volcano has
lately become quite an attraction to tourists, who
are enabled te reach the Island Of HiIO BY means Of
a steamer which plies regularly from Honolulu A
rough but exciting ride on horseback is the means
bv which the mountain itself Is arrived at. but the
wonders Of nature then revealed amply repay the
traveller for any trouble and pains be may have IN
derroue. The crater and its constant e~ruptiOns have
been frequently described before in general terms,
but IL is stated that geologic and volcanic e~nriosities
abound there in sufficient variety To occupy the life
time Of a savsu. The specimens shewn are masses
Of lava, which are forced up by some unseen agency
through cracks and assures 10 the ground, and in
stantiy CONCEAL or harden on exposure TO the atmos-
phere, into the most fantastic shapes Some Of these
Jets take the form Of a straight rod. ohen as much
As Ave or SIX feet in length, which can be broken OF
and preserved in one piece In other places where
the underground pressure was weaker the lava has
cooled iato shapes resembling clusters Of grapes in
some cases the drops have evidently as .umed at first

had formed IN the first instance on the exterior. and
thus caused the drops to present the exact appear
ance Of a bunch Of shriveIled fruit. Other speci-
mems are apparently limestone crystals. resembling
the s~taIactites Of the WombOyan caves in this colony.
Perhaps the most curious Of all the specimens is a
collection Of what IS known BY the natives Of the

Of threads or 6lAments Of glass. said to be blown by

The REWARD or GENIUS The New York Sun
gives a biography of an inventor who has done more
for the world than the world has for him. After
making half a dozen scientific improvements in
mechanics, any one of which would have made Ar
other mans fortune, he has gradually fsllen to the
position of tender of the stage-door in a New York
theater His name is Freiigh. When 20 years old
he invented a diving-dress. for which he received
S6O0-about the only reward he ever obtained He
served his apprenticeship at the Novelty Iron Works.,
and afteTward obtained a position as engineer of the
Jersey City Ferry Company, at $500 = year For
inyenting the revolving CRATE for ferry-bo is the
Superintendent gave him a pair of patent-leather
boots; for inventing an apparatus to heat water by
waste steam and save ten per cent ia fuel he received
a doutle-barrel shotgun; when he built a model for
a Spaniard who wanted a boat Of light draught sad
immense carrying capacity to navigate the shadows
Of the Amazon, aud was about to sign a contract to
construct a aotilla of such vessels, the Spaniard was
murdered in a cigar-store; when. four years later,
he invented a 8 combination-gauge" to indicate the
action Of the force-pump, the temperature Of the
water in the boutwell,. = and the density Of that ia
the boiler, a Scotchman stole his discovery, and pa
tented 1t In his own name; when be compounded q
lubricator for locomotives, the General Supply Agent
Of the Erie Railroad refused to accept il unless he
was pad a bonus Of $4,000. And lastly, after a
day had been appointed by James Fisk Jr. in which
Freligh was to receive $4,000 in stock and money
for the secret of the compound, Stokes interfered
and murdered the only man who had ever promised
him fair treatment. To such a man the Fates have
done their worst. After such q series Of disappoint-
ments, no wonder that the poor man takes his stand
OF the door of a theater, satisfied that the ehams Of
the stage are more substantial than the gratitude and
honesty Of the world.

Nothing is so common than a custom Of many per-
sons to have a cold water bath Immediately on leav-
ing their beds as a daily habit. Delicately organ
Used ladies not unfrequently have established the
isame course, considering it conducive to health.
There is an impression that it invigorntes the indivi-
dual, hardens tie muscles and strengthens the con-
stitution. The sudden abstraction of caloric or vital
warmth in that way has not only injured but de-
stroyed more than ever we're benefited thereby. A
reaction, US it is called. a glow of warmth that
subsequently, follows, a direct draft upon the system
to meet a sudden loss OF vitality, is by no means as
beneficial as theoretically imagined. A tepid bath
makes no such injurious demands, and therefore is
not injurious to those of a frail MISUNDERSTANDING
american.

Professor CHARLES PRITCHARD, Of Cambridge.
England, has also made an effective reply to Tyn-
dalIs new gospel Of Materialism, arguing that
natural selection does not account for the actual
Development Of the mental faculties. because it
rests on the assumption that all meas faculties
are adaptations OF tie organism 70 Its environ
ment-that j., have grown out Of need and use
whereas uncivilIzed peoples possess powers and
CAPACITIES for which, in their present state of life,
there = not and cannot be any use. We, too, he
says, possess powers ard capacities UNNECESSARILY
beyond the necessities Of any merely transitory
life. There stir within US yeaEnings irrepressi-
bic, l~Ongings unutterable, a curiosity unsatished
and Unsuitable BY aught We see. These appetites,
passions and affections come to Us, not ns Socrates
and Plato supposed, nor as our great poet sang,
from the dim recollection Of some former state of
our being, still less from the delusive inheritance
VI our progenItors; they are the Indications Of
something within US akin to something immeas-
urably beyond US; tokens of something attaina-
bic, yet not hitherto attained; signs Of a poten-
tial feI owship with spirits nobler and more glori-
Gus than our own; they are the title deeds of our
~presumptiye heirship to some brighter world than
any that has yet been formed.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY g.

THE yIEw taken by ~ last week, tha; a party
~pI-ading guilty to an of-nse AZ charged in the
Police Court could not be entitled T. a trial By
jury on tie question Of fac, no longer in issue,
has been sustained by the presiding Justice Of the
Supreme Court. An oIdcr was made on Satur-
day lat, to tire effect that the proceedings in the
case TO which wc lave alluded. and in which q
jury returned a verdict Of not guilty, were null
and void. and that the sentence Of tile Police
Court. by which the party was fined one hundred
dollars, must remain intact and be executed. IL
appears plain enough now, that a goOd-sized
blunder was committed IN permitting the case to
60 toa jury but tine wrong. ass precedent, would
have been far more serious bad it been allowed to
remain on the record. The only course to pursue
under the circumstances was u do just what has
been done-to treat the whole matter as if it had
never happened. Legally, the question Of The
guilt or innocence Of the party was not before the
Supreme Court for trial.
\ writer in the editorial columns Of the Ga
zene, in commenting on the subject Of this trial,
intimates that in our last we were questioning the
wisdom Of the jury system, = particularly where
native juries are concerned" just 50. But We
question its wisdom in general as well as in par
"a iDLclEiEIS - Wei 4. where NATIVES
are concerned. The writer himself, while start
ing out ostensibly 70 defend the jury system, gives
1t some very damaging blows. He easily Gale to
mind yerdicts that have I" shocked the public con-
science" wherein "the average foreign jury -
have found a desired - loop-hole but yet he
tells III to close our ears to all arguments that may
be brought against the system. The cheapest
kind of enthusiasm and iervor can be got mp az
short notice about the glorious right Of trial by
jury wrested By the Barons from KING John at
Runnymede; but experience goes to show that
in a great many cases, if not in the majority, tile
jury system is n cumbersome, costly. mischievous
relic Of a pact age, which will ere long be shelyed
with other lumber that has served it's day and
generation.
In the multitude Of counsellors there is safely :
and the opinion of the average twelve men in
our community is doubtless worth more than that
Of the average three. But we do not propose to
seale cases in Court by any such system Of aver
ages. We say, take three, or better, five men
who, having devoted the best years Of their lives
to the study Of judicial questions are in this re-
spect above the average Of The community,-aud
we believe that more than the average of their
decisions will be found to neither insult common
sense nor shock the public conscience.
