BENEFITS OF THE TREATY.

The San Francisco Journal Of Commerce., of
May 25th, gives an account of an interview of
one Of its reporters with Mr. N. p Jones, one
Of the leading merchants engaged in the trade
with those Islands, and an owner in the
Planters Line" Of Packets. Mr. Jones
spoke of the shipping trade, how it had in
creased ton fold since the Treaty went into
operation, and Of the advantage of reciprocit,
10 the Pacific Coast. He said in the course
Of his remarks, 1t is Tor our interest to con
finue the Treaty, for by means of it San
Francisco gana the bulk Of the Island TRADE, (,
aud Furthermore the Treaty enriches tie
planters, aud 10 enables them to purchase
more largely II our commodities" He also
repu,ed the false stutneuts regarding the COLI
dition and treatment of laborers here. Mr..
Jones is we'll known, has been doing business
with the Islands several years, has mad.
frequent vis,s here, and knowing whereof he
! speaks, his statement will bo worth more than
those Of II hundred unreliable Toms, Dicks
and Harry's, whose only purpose is to create
quanted with Island affairs who could be
cited. and If such journals as the Chronicle
| and men like Mr.. Brown. who is working in
the interest of Eastern re6ners, were desirous
Of aiming at the truth regarding matters here
IN which they manifest so much interest, they
could learn it by consulting reliable persoiit
| like Mr.. NJ. =. Jones.

DISC 0RACHFUL CONDUCT.

Yesterday y portion Of the members of the
House covered themselves with glory. The
amendment to the Constitution passsd at tho
present session provides for an increase Of tho
pay Of Representatives to $500 session here
after. Several Of tho patriotic lnnaniakaai-
nsnas who have more regard for their pockets
than their country, supported u resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Lshilshi directing tho Minister
Of Finance 10 accept tho vouchers for members
for $500. This was lost by vote of 26 TO H..
Mr.. Ksau, the HONORABLE Mr. Kcan, III, =
moved that select committee DO appointed "a
notify the King that tho House was ready TO
be prorogued Saturday t'o-day). Lost by a
v"te Of rs to le. II tho motive was to have u
special session called that the members might
draw an extra $500, il WAS ono Of the most
disgusting things that could have been entered
on the minutes Of the Assembly, and those
who supported those motions should be heart
lily ashamed OF their conduct. Their conslit-
usnts selec,sd them for their representa- lives
in Legislative Council, and to work for the
good Of Hawaii, but this seems to be matter
Of secondary importance with them. Their
private eschequer engages their attention first,
the business Of the Government may be con-
siderod later. Those who voted in tho Mega
tive deserve the thanks Of the people, while
tho others should be remembered in 1884,

Let us leave the earth for few min
utes and examine the past history Of
the moon. We have seen the moon re-;
volve around the earth in an ever
widening orbit, and consequently the
moon in ancient times must have been
nearer the earth than it is now. No
doubt the change is slow. There is not
much difference between the orbit Of
the moon q Thousand years ago and the
orbit in which the moon is now NOV;
ing. But when we rise TO millions OF
years the difference becomes very ap-
preciable. Thirty or forty millions of
years ago the moon was much closer to-
the earth than it is atpresent, very pos
sibly the moon was then only half its.
present distance We must, however:
look still earlier, to a certain epoch not
less than fifty millions of years ago.
AT that epoch the moon must have been
so close to the earth that the two bodies
were almost touching. Everybody
knows that the moon revolves now
around the earth in a period of twenty
seven days. The period depends upon,
the distance between the earth and the
moon. In earlier times the month must
have been shorter than our present
month. Some millions of years ago the
instead of taking twenty-eight days, as
at present Looking back earlier still,
we find the month has dwindled down
to day, then down to few hours,
until at that wondrous epoch, when the
moon was almost touching the earthr
the moon spun around the earth once
every three hours.
In those ancient times see our earth
to be noble globe, as it is at present.
Yet it is not partly covered with oceans
and partly clothed with yerdure. The,
primeval earth seems rather fiery and
haf-molton mass, where no organic life
can dwell. Instead of the atmosphere
which we now have, see dense mass of
vapors, in which, perhaps, all the
oceans of the earth are suspended as
clouds. / see that the sun still rises
and sets to give the succession of day
and of night. but the day and the night
| together only amount to three hours,
instead of twenty-four. Almost touch
ing the chaotic mass of the earth is a
much smaller and equally chaotic body.
Around the earth see this small body
rapidly rotating. The two revolve to-
gether, as if they were bound by invisi-
Bile bands. The smaller body is the
moon.-London Nature.
