THE WINTER STORM.


The storms abroad.
The wind is high,
And snow is ON the gale
Blthe urchins land
The flakes that fly,
And frolie Winter hail.
They see not now
Az others see,
Away in after years,
The furrowed brow,
The stitching knee,
The heart that Winter fears,
What though old men
Shake wise old pates,
And pirate of ills to conner
Turn they again
To sled and skates,
And shout such croakers dumb.
Ali they are right,
And we are wrong,
Albeit we speak truth
Down with the wight
Who'd pipe sad song
Into the ear ofYouthl
Ear better mask
The face of care,
And with the children sing;
Not long the task.
For, unaware.
Look, yonder smiles the SPRING.

Cornu is able to discover whether
any particular ray of light is due TO
the sun or to our atmosphere. Re
garding the velocity of light, Young
and Forbes had come to the conclu-
sion that the blue rays travelled two
percent faster than the red. But
Nicholson has arrived at the conclu-
sion that no difference of anything
like that exists. The actual speed
of light may be taken as about 1885,
300 miles per second. Upon this
branch of his subject the President
observed that it was remarkable how
many of the playthings of our child
hood gave rise to questions of the
deepest scientific interest. The top
is, OF may be, understood but q
complete comprehension of the kite
and the soap bubble would carry us
far beyond our present stage of
knowledge. In spite of the admira-
bic Investigations of Plateau, it still
remains a mystery why soapy water
stands almost alone among fluids as
n material for bubbles. The beauti-
full development of color was long
ago ascribed to the interference of
light, called into play by the gradual
thinning of the film. In accordance
with this view the tint is determined
solely by the thickness of the film,
and the rcfractive index of the fluid.
Some Of the phenomena are, how
ever, so curious as to have led ex-
cellent observers like Brewster to
reject the theory Of thin plates, and
to assume the existence of various
kinds of coloring matter. When the
thickness of film falls below n
small fraction Of the length of q
wave of light, the color disappears
and is replaced by an intense black
ness. Professors Reinold and Rucker
have by two Independent methods
determined the thickness of the black
film to he between seven and four
teen millionths OF mllimctre { Il
millimctrc being about onc-thirtieth
part of an inch }, so that the thinnest
films correspond to about one-seyen-
tieth of a wave length of light. The
Importance of these results, in regard
to molecular theory, the President
observed. is too obvious to be insisted

TWO CARRIAGE ESTABLISHMENTS.

Mr.. w. II. Pages carriage manu-
factory at 1913 and 1870 Fort street
dividing those premises with the Ho-
nolulu Carriage Repository, owned
by Mr.. F. j. IIiggins-is one of the
first of the kind in the Kingdom. AS
Mr.. Page, the proprietor, and Mr..
Higgins are affiliated in business al
though not in partnership, it will be
convenient for us to speak of the
two establishments at once. Enter
ing the yard, as may be done from
either Fort or Union street, great
array of dereict vehicles first attracts
the attention-from the numbering
omnibus to the simplest sort of cart.
1t is not necessary to be told that an
extensive repairing business is done,
for a more miscellaneous collection
of wheeled craft, waiting to have
every conceivable kind of damage
rcmedied, can nowhere else be seen.
There is also some new work out in
the yard, awaiting the finishing pro-
cesses or ready for delivery. Here
is Mr.. Fassett's break, broad, strong,
and well-reinforced for the burly
form it must whirl over the rough as
well as smooth ways of Honolulu.
A California buck board, built on
the premises for Mr.. James Gay,
displays some excellent original
points in improvement of that popu-
lar class of rig, to make it suit the
requirements of its owner. 1t has

the BRITISH SCIENTISTS NO. 2.

Lord Rayleigh, the President, in
his opening address, took up the
important question of the power of
ships to force their way through the
water. lie referred to the expert
ments of the late Mr.. Froude, proving
that the only appreciablc resistance
offered to fairly shaped body in
passing through the water was the
resistance caused by friction on the
- skin" of the vessel, and. in cases
of high speed, the loss of energy
from the surface waves caused by the
ship herself. Mr.. Froude has proved
the truth of Rankine's statement.
which was greeted with such sur
prise twenty years ago, that friction
is the only legitimate resistance to
the progress Of a well-designed ship;
but the nature of skin friction is
different according as the surface is
rough or smooth; but there is no
reason to think that surface could
be constructed so smooth that there
would be no friction whatever. These
results of scientific investigation are
commended to our ship-wrights and
boat-builders, us disposing of some
superficial notions that are practi-
cally illustrated in the cmasculated
models of many kinds of craft,
which fail in yielding the speed
sought by narrowness and sharpness,
because by going deeper they present
more " skin - or surface to the
water than more corpulent-looking
hulks. An evidence of the correct
ness of this scientific conclusion,
which Lord Rayleigh is not reported
to have cited, is recent in the case
Of an Atlantic stcamship-wc forget
name and lne--built upon stout
model, which in her initial trip this
year made the best time on record.
Then there are the old-fashioned,
squat river paddle-hoats of New
York, which made about double the
speed attained by the average slim
propellers of to-day. Experiments
made by Mr.. Tower for the Institute
of Mechanical Engineers, on the
friction between oiled surfaces,
show that when the oiling is sufli-
cient, the friction is nearly indie
pendent of the load. and much
smaller than is usually supposed.
When the layer of oil is well
formed, the pressure between the
solid surfaces is really borne by the
fluid, and the work lost is spent in
sheering, that is, in causing one
stratum OF the oil to glide over
another Coming to the question of
optics, Lord Rayleigh referred to II
question that happens to be now
engaging the attention of contri-
butors to the Haaoaiion Monthy.

HOW OREGON WAS WON.

The Chicago Inter- Oceup tells
graphic story of the way in which
Oregon fell into the Union instead
of into British possession. Prior to
1912, the United States and England
were in joint occupation of the Ore
gon region. 1t was generally un-
derstood that the country would be
English or American. according to
the tide of immigration. The Hud-
son Bay Company, British char
tered company, occupied Fort Walla
Walla rs q trading post. In 1886,
DR.. Marcus Whitman and his part
ner, Spaulding, with their wives,
went to Oregon under the auspices
of the American Board. In Octo-
Der. 1912, DIR. Whitman was called
on II professional errand to Fort
Walla Walla, twenty-five miles from
his home. AT his arrival the Com
pany was holding trade banquet,
ard he found himself the solitary
American at the feast. In the midst
of the festivity, an express
courier rushed into the fort and
shouted that an English colony of
l40 persons was on its way up the
Columbia. A young Englishman
excitedly jumped to his feet and ex-
claimed: ''Hurrah for Oregon!
America is too late We have got
the country" As soon as possible
the doctor excused himself and,
mounting. was in two hours before
his cabin door upon his foam-necked
steed. lie made known the English
plot before dismounting, and his
determination to set out for Wash
ington and return the next sum
mer with caravan of immigrants.
None could dissuade him: he must
go; the Webster-Ashburton Treaty
was pending; the Oregon question
must be settled before Congress
adjourned on the ith of March
Oregon must be saved. In less
than twenty-four hours he was in
the saddle, galloping for Washing
ton and Webster" attended by a
select companion and guide.
Home and wife were behind him;
winter and 1000 miles before him.
The story of his journey through
wood and wilderness, over mountain
and river, cannot be excellel in an
equal amount Of fiction for deter
mination, endurance, heroism and
pluck. His guide and companion
both were left by the way. Once
he was saued from death by the in
stinct of mule, that led its driver
to his rescue when he was lost in

the snow. All along the way he 4
scattered rumors Of an immense
emigration to Oregon in the Spring.
"Mect us at Westport on the Mis-
souri, next Junc-good wagon road"
was his cry in every settlement
when he had got halfway, after
three months in the saddle. He ar
rived in Washington on March 3rd,
just five months from the day when
he spurred down the valley from
Fort Walla Walla. The treaty had
been signed and proclaimed as the
law of the land two months before
he had set out, and ratified while he
was lost in the mountains. This
weathcr-bcaten frost-bitten man
was, however, not going TO have his
four thousand miles ride for moth
ing. He rode about Washington,
proclaiming great Oregon emigra-
tion as he had done through the
mountains and valleys. President
and secretaries became infected with
his enthusiasm. The British Pre-
mer proposed to hold Oregon for
English emigrants. If Marcus Whit
man could get his emigrants there,
Daniel Webster proposed likewise
to stand by them. On the banks of
the Missouri in June, people were
gathering from the north, east and
south. 1t must have been u proud
moment for the doctor when he saw
200 wagons wheeled into line, with
S75 emigrants and 1000 cattle
headed for the distant, half-mythi-
cal Oregon. The Government de-
tailed Captain John G. Fremont,
with several companies. rs an escort,
but the vigorous doctor preceded his
escort by forty-nine days. Eleven
months from the day when he set
out. he returned to his home.
"Therc followed him into that
splendid valley in little companies,
and in long, weary file, iaded and
battered, and mended after noun
tain style, 200 emigrant wagons.
They emptied their families here
and there, the women and children
and scattered all about were cattle
and dogs. while lank backwood-men,
with the inevitable rifle, lounged and
strolled. And they continued to ar
rive even after the light SHOWS of
the country had come. 1t was the
army of occupation for Oregon.
The question was settled Oregon
was saved, and in three years made
the subject of a satisfactory treaty.
But alas. for her savior and his
noble wife! November 20, 1917,
and about year after the treaty,
they were massacred by the In
| dians.'

leather and cloth coverings shown us
are superb, and the proprietor as
sured us that no better stock was
used in any carriage factory any
where. Seat and back springs in
spiral copper are kept on hand, and
it is only necessary to refer to the
work in this department as proof
that nobody can 20 further and fare
better. Carriage springs of superior
quality and make are imported from
Philadelphia. The branches owned
by Mr.. Higgins are the importing OF
carriages and the painting depart

stock of carriages, including the
cut-under rockaway-the prevailing

lish coach phaeton, a substantial
and respectable-looking rig; Other
phaetons, buggies, carts, etc. His

to degree, the principal painter
being a thorough master of his pro
fession. His work will prove to any
competent inspector that our words
