In the United States S3O, 900 are spent
annually in the business of gathering and
selling ice. Large shipments are made to
Asia and South America In 1916, $4,000
tons were used. In 1876, the consumers
bought 100000 tons, and probably 5 ZOO, 900
tons we're cut. The machinery for manufac-
turing ice, in any climate, has been so much
improved of late, that this indispensable arti-
Gle of luxury can be furnished in any quanti-
ty, and in any country, at prices that will
bring it within the reach of all classes.
The use of aqua ammonia, over direct heat
(says the Foreign Mail of Philadelphia, u S.) J.,
in the process known as the Cane System,
has led many to suppose that ammonia cannot
be used at a pressure lower than twenty atmos-
pheres, or 800 pounds to the square inch. But
after trying all other chemical agents, it is
now generally conceded that ammonia gas rem
dered anhydrous-or freed from the water in
which ii is sold commercially as aqua ammonia,
and liquifed by direct mechanical pressure
in pump, produces the best results, or speak
In this mode of using the gas, there is no need
of pressure above $50 to us pounds. The
liquifcation at that pressure would be impos-
sible in warm climates, were it not for the
newly devised system of evaporation cooling
of the compressed gas.
The mode of ice formation is more novel
than the other portions of the apparatus. 1t
is formed on the face of drum or cylinder of
large diameter, and clear hard ice foot in
thickness and ten feet wide, can be as easily
made as by the old process thin pan full can
be frozen. Cut into blocks of any size, it
slides from the face of the cylinder by its own
gravity aud much handling is avoided. By
this process known as the Dry Ammonia Rotary

The freight contract between the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and the Union Pacific railroad,
which would have terminated on the first day Of Sep
tember last has been extended for sixty days, upon
the request OF the Pacific Mail upon the old basis 1t
is understood that new contract in regard to pas
senger rates has been drawn up, which calls for
uniform San Francisco passenger rate by rail or
steam at $l37 each, in consideration Of which the
Pacific Mail is to receive $40 head money for every
through passenger carried by the Union Pacific to
and from San Francisco. This is increase of s.,
head money the Clyde contract of 1876, and it
is estimated will yield the Pacific Mail treasury
monthly sum of S22 0o0 1t is also understood that
each company is to act independently in the matter
of freights. This new arrangement is only another
one to fch from the pockets of the travelling public,
IS head, to be put into the Golfers of corporation
which is 8 monopoly and nothing else. This impO-
sion upon the public must continue until there is
rival route across the Continent to the Union and

New south Wales.

BY advices received from our consul at
Newcastle, New South Wales, we learn that
that colony is in fourishing condition. Busi-
ness is increasing. commerce is extending,
public improvements, such as wharves, rail-
roads and canals are projected, and the
Colonial Legislature has made large appro-
priations to carry out the improvements. The
failure on the part of the last Legislature pass
certain laws relative to land titles and other
matters of great Importance to the future well
being and progress of the colony OF New
South Wales, has had the effect of keeping
back many much needed reforms, but these
things will engage the attention of the Legis-
larure now in session, and the reforms by the
people will be granted. The wonderful pro-
gress of the British Australian Colonies is one
of the wonders of the age. This great coun-
try will ere long be one of the most important
in the catalogue of the British crown. The
rapid progress is owing first, 70 the produc-
tiveness of the soil, variety of climate and
great mineral wealth of the country. But all
these advantages would be of but little avail
if there were not in the colonies live, intelli-
gent aud energetic men, to suggest improve
ments and carry them through. Indeed few
countries can boast of larger proportion ot
able, intellectual and practical men than are tc
be found in the Australian Colonies, and II
that fact must be attributed the growing sue
cess of the new empire of British Australia.

a Valuable Commercial Publica.

WE have in previous issue noticed "The
Foreign Mall new publication issued
monthly, by Messrs. Ward & Lipman, 1913
South Third Street, Philadelphia, U. S. We
have the third number of this valuable publ
cation on our table, and can say of it of a
truth, that it is one of the YER best publica-
tions issued in any country. "The Foreign
Mail " is printed in English, French and Span
ish. 1t is quarto in size, containing 20 pages
of matter to each number, and these pages
are filled with choice reading. As an adver-
tising medium this publication will take the
place of many of the very large and unwieldy
newspapers, while its very low price, Sl.5O
per annum, will recommend it to the patron
age of the commercial world. This new pub
lication is sent to all countries outside of the
United States, and to all the principal news
papers in foreign countries, and to all Con-
sulates, so that its circulation is very large.
The Editors and Proprietors are gentlemen of
experience and ability, and from the specimens
we have seen, we are free TO say that The
Foreign Mail is desideratum in the way of
commercial newspaper. The Proprietors
invite correspondence on commercial subjects
from all parts of the world, and from their
extensive business connections in the United
States they are prepared to give information
on any subject, and to fill orders for machin-
cry, or indeed anything else..desired by persons
from abroad who desire an agency. The
business will be done for small commission
and will be great saving to persons wishing
to purchase any article manufactured in the
United States, which can be done by address

Process, the purest and densest ice can be
made of any thickness and in any climate for
81 80 TO $500 per ton. A machine to produce
80 tons in twenty-four hours can be managed
by three men, during the day, and by one or
two at night Where fuel and labor are very
expensive the ice can be made for $500 per
ton. A machine to produce 80 tons in twenty
four hours, as described above will consume
pa tons of coal (for motive power) during the
twenty four hours, and would cost S26,5OO in
Philadelphia.
A ten ton machine would require about the
same number of men to attend it, would con-
sumo one ton of coal in twenty-four hours,
and cost sl2.25O in Philadelphia. A ten ton
machine would supply pretty large COM
munity and would soon pay for itself at the
rate of SIS a hundred pounds

The Genius of Edison.


EVERY day developes some new and WON
derful discovery by Professor Edison, the great
American electrician. The strides which this
man has made within the past few years in
his scientific investigations with the most sub
tie agents in nature are astounding. There is
one feature about Edison's scientific investi-
cations that attracts attention more than any
other, and that is, that all his discoveries are
of an eminently practical character.
Mr.. Edison has been giving attention lately
to the subject of an appliance or instrument,
by which he thinks he can determine the size,
character and location of mineral lode, by
the difference of conductivity of electricity,
provided the walls of the lodges are lined
with clay or decomposed rock.
1t is his intention to test his theory on the
great Comstock lode, on his return to Califor-
MIA. Should Mr.. Edison succeed in accom-
plishing this new invention and rendering it,
as he has all others thus far, useful and prac-
tical, he will accomplish great work for the
mining industries of the world. Heretofore
miners have had to expend millions of money
in driving long tunnels through mountains,
sinking deep shafts thousands of feet beneath
the surface, or boring with the diamond drill
at great expense of money and valuable time
With the new electrical apparatus of Mr.. Edi-
son, the miner can find out how much ore
there is in mine, where it lies, its direction
and the point where its groupings may be
looked for
We have so much faith in the practical and
scientific ability of Edison, that we feel GER
tain he will astonish the miners of the Pacific
Coast with his new apparatus, and thus over
come one Of the greatest obstacles TO success
in seeking for the precious metals.

RAILRoAD PROGRESS IN THE UNITED STATES
The advanced sheets of Mr. Poor's exhaustive Rail-
way Manual gives insight into the railway bus-
ness for the year 1877. During the year 1000 miles
of new road have been opened. The number of miles
operated in 1877 a. I22 against 3,50s in 1876
The gross receipts last year amounted SAT-, ,000-
600 against S4s7 600 in 1876 aud the net income
SI7I goo 900 against $780, 600. The railroad
system of the country represents a cost of 81
SOS 600 .OO0 In 1877, SIS 500 900 was divided on
railroad stocks valued at $3.50 100000 In 1876 the
gross dividends were S6s 900 00O In 1871 the divi
dends amounted to $50, ,OOO, 900, when the system
cost 81 664 900 900 for A 600 miles operated. Many
adverse influences contributed to make the year 1877
a very hard one for railroads, the chief Of which
freight was carried during the fall months. far

roborated by the increased receipts, particularly Of
lines in the West.

By the publication of the report of Col. W.
F. Allen, Collector General of this Kingdom,
covering the three quarters of the present
year, we have the gratifying exhibit showing
a marked increase in the export trade of these
Islands, under the stimulating effects of the
Reciprocity Treaty with the United States.
For the nine months of the present year end
ing September 80, the exports of sugar exceed
in quantity the same article for the same
period of last year, lO,3sl ,3OS pounds, whilst
the increase of rice or paddy for the same
period is l,SO0,650 pounds. The same report
shows also corresponding increase in value
of S766,932.
In other articles of export we find an in
crease that shows that even in the minor in
dustries there is marked Improvement
notably is this the case with the article of
coffee, in the Kona district, where the blight
has been destructive to this crop for upwards
of twenty years. The increase in coffee in
the past nine months marks the figures 24,-
6l2 pounds.
There is some hopes entertained by the peo-
pie in the coffee district in Koha, that the
blight seems TO have exhausted itself and is
abating its ravages. Should this hope be
realized, and we trust it will, the coffee trade
of these Islands may in the near future regain
its former Importance. Indeed, coffee can be
grown on all the Islands if the proper care is
taken to treat the tree, and this industry can
be made as important as sugar to many per-
sons of small means, inasmuch as coffee does
not involve so much capital to start it, or to
carry it on when started, as sugar does.
If the efforts which are said to have been in
augurated the past week by the Board of I'm
migration, to introduce large numbers of the
Madeira islanders into these Islands should
prove successful, all the capabilities of the
group will soon be brought into play, because
these patient, industrious and sober people
will exercise their usual shrewdness and tire
less energies to develope every industry that
will promise a reward for their labor. Let
US all labor for this consummation SO devout-
ly to be wished-that larger degree of pro-
sperity than has ever been know on these Is
lands may be the result of united, determined
effort to a common end-the future prosperity
of Hawaii nei.

IN our issue of last week we published the
card of J. Alapai, as an ordinary transaction,
for which Mr.. Alapai paid, as all other per-
sons are presumed to do. We had no know
ledge of the circumstances, nor the slightest
intention to do injury to any person living.
Mr.. R. Lishman sends US a note, in which
he alleges that Mr. Alapai's card is malici-
Gus libel upon him, and demands an explana
tion at our hands. The only explanation we
can give is just what we have said above,
namely: that when a man publishes card
and signs his name to it, he is certainly the
responsible party, and intends to assume all
the responsibilities of his act
So far as Mr.. Lishman is concerned, we can
assure that gentleman that we had no wish or
intention to do him or anybody else the slight
est injury, and regret if we have been the
means unwittingly of doing so. We hope that
this statement will be satisfactory to the gen.
tleman aggrieved, who we believe to be good
citizen and faithful public officer, from all we
learn Of him.

WEDNESDAY. OCT. l6, ISIS

J. C. GLADE, Esq, German Consul at this
port, at private audience with His Majesty
last week, presented an autograph letter
from the Grown Prince of the German En-
pire, acknowledging in the most court
eous manner the receipt of His Hawaiian
Majesty's Congratulatory Letter to the En-
peror William of Germany on his providen-
tial escape from the bullet of the assassin.
WE ask the especial attention of our readers
to the notice of W. C. Parke, Marshal of the
Kingdom, and his caution to all persons deal
ing in and handling kerosene oils. This officer
very properly calls attention to the law passed
at the recent session of the Hawaiian Legisla-
ture, inficting heavy penalty upon all per
sons who will introduce, sell, or distribute on
these Islands, spurious article of kerosene
oil. We are glad to see the Marshal calling
attention to this important subject; and If,
after the publication of the Marshal's notice
and caution, people will disregard the law,
they must not complain if the severest penal
ties of the statute are invoked against them
We are authorized to say that the Marshal If
determined to prosecute, with the utmost rigol
of the law, all who disregard the warning con-
tanned in the notice referred to.

MANAGER RIoKABY's BENEFIT. We are
pleased to know that a large number of
tickets have already been sold for Man
ager Rickaby'S benefit at the Memphis
Theater next Friday night. This enter
tainpeut will be one Of the best and most
enjoyable ever presented OF the Memphis
Theatsr, the play for the occasion Icing
the sparkling comedy entitled Caste.
Mrs. Rictaby takes the role Esther

Of recognized talent from the Cincin.

terpiece, Limerick Boy. Mr.. Rickaby ap
pears as PADDY Miles" and Gen. Peter
Tracy as "Dr. Coates" Professors
Handwerker and Arnold are arranging
an exceptionally good musical pro.
gramme. We dare soy that the theater
will be crowded, for both the object and
the nature Of this entertainment should
command a generous patronage by the
public.
The Rev. GEO. W. PEPPER, who is to
lecture at the Memphis Theater tonight
on ireland and Her People" arrived
in the city yesterday. The Chicago
Tribune, in a criticism upon his manner
and style of speaking, said: His utter.
ance is quick, sibilant and explosive.
His sentences are short and sharp, each
n finely finished, and every one tell.
ing-we know what that means. His
address-to venture a Characterization
was pbosphorescent. 1t glowed with
wit, poetry, happy allusion, and i~ucisivs
satire; it shone in recurrent periods with
the reelection Of an ~eloquence born only
in the island that has furnished orators
to every land" Colonel Geo. r. Phelan
will preside at the lecture to night, and
on the whole a grand treat nay be ex.
pected. We hope to see the thsater
crowded.

About eight o'clock this morning a two

from the effects of burns received early
last night. The child. being left alone in
