CORONER's INQUEST.

A coroner's inquest was held yes
terday afternoon, before David
Dayton, to enquire into the cause of
The death of the late William Buckle,
Governor of the Honolulu Jail. The
jury was composed of Henry Swim
ton, Jacob Fisher, Edwin Hall,
William Allen, James Keau and
Hiram Kapu.
Two of the jury were late, and it
was two O'Clock before start was
made for the Jail where all the sur
roundings were examined.
DR.. Brodie examined, said was
called between five and six O'Clock
on Sunday morning; met men car
rying the body to Liliha street where
| first saw it. Found life was
extinct; made a cursory ex-
animation of injuries on the head
found two cuts OH the left
temple and probed the wound; there
was no fracture of the skull but
considerable bruising on left side of
the face, and the ear was cut. Made
no further examination at that time.
1t was scarcely daylight. There
might have been blood from the ear.
The bruises were such as could have
been made on the rocks, or with Il
dull blunt instrument, such as stick
of firewood. There were two cuts {;
the longest cut was not continuous
or clean to the bone all the way. If
he had fallen from the height sup
posed, l think death would have
been caused by concussion. A frac-
ture of the skull or rupture of the
ear drum would cause blood to flow
from the ear. l re-examined the
body subsequently with DR.. McKib-
bin. 1 did not examine the hands OF
the body.
DR.. McKibbin sworn, said L ex-
amincd Mr.. Buckle on Monday
afternoon about four O'Clock with
DR.. Brodie. Afterwards went with
DR.. Brodie to the prison to see the
place from which he was said to have
fallen. 1 substantially agree with
DR.. Brodic in what he said, but 1
would say, from the bruising l saw
on the cheek and the nature of the
wounds, that they were more likely
ito have been caused by falling upon

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

1t appears that the leaf Of a plant
can transform into useful work as
much as forty per cent. of the solar
energy it receives and absorbs.
The sand of the Desert of Sahara is
of a yellow color, and consists Of
about ninety per cent. of well-rounded
quartz grains and nine per cent. of
feldspar. Other minerals found in it
but in very small quantities, are chalk,
clay, halitz, sylvite, magnetic, chro-
mite, garnet, Divine, amphibole and
pyroxene.

Vienna, tiny incandescent lamps, sus-

the operator, and the effect is electri-
cal in other than a literal sense.
1t is said that the force and guam

The Kurile Islanders,

Writing about the inhabitants of the
Kurile islands-a group of twenty-five
islands at the eastern extremity of Asia,
in the North Pacific ocean-a correspond
ent says: Hardy and adventurous, hav-
ing no such word as home in their meager
language and no appreciation of such an
institution, they roam in their canoes from
island to island, killing whatever breathes,
putting up rude huts when they are forced
into winter quarters, but generally de-
spising anything like shelter, and living
in their boats So little are they used to
the arts of construction that, unlike their
fellow-natives, they do not build skin
canoes, but make up what are called bal
dara, a class of craft that is as primitive
as the rest of their habits. Wrecks are
not infrequcnt, and the islanders wander
ing along the shore pick up whatever
driftwood may be scattered about, the
women being generally engaged in this
harvest of tlotsam and jetsam. The pieces
are rudely tied together with thongs in
the shape of long box and calked with
moss. The roughness of the elements and
the roughness of the work are not partic-
ularly conducive to seaworthiness and
they generally spring heavy leak an hour
after they are launched. To keep them
afoat the Kurileans always put load of
moss and couple of women on board,
the moss being to stop up whatever cracks
may be open and the women being en-
ployed in this work with bunch OF moss
and apiece of stick, daubing any partic-
ular obstinate creviee with lump Of seal
fat.

A Belgian POStman.

Here is Belgian postman says cor
respondent. We pride ourselves on
our own postal service, but look at
this man, who not only delivers letters
punctually and smartly, but sells stamps
and postcards, and acts as collector of
small debts and a newspaper agent.
A Belgian who has money owing to
hin hands the bill to his postman, who
passes through the Office to be present
ed to the debtor in whatever locality
the latter may reside, and, if payment
be made, the creditor receives it from
the postman on the following day, with
but a trifiing deduction for commits
sion. In the same way as to news
papers, almost all regular subscribers
to a journal pay their money to the
postman, and two or three days before
the subscription expires that hard
worked but ever-active official presents
the quittance d'abonnemelt ior the re-
newal of the subscription during
fresh term. All this makes of the Bel
gian postman kind of ambulating
general agency and bank of deposit,
and naturally the man is obliged to
have desk slung in front of him, to
carry locked and chained portfolio
under his arm for valuables; but he
gets through his work satisfactorily.
because his beats are shorter than
those of his English brother, and at
times when there is. great press of
work, he is always accompanied by
supernumerary. Let us note. in passing,
an excellent method Of collecting let
tiers from pillar boxes which exists in
Germany Git originated at Nun. h)
and is beginning to be adopted in some
French cities. The letters, instead of
falling into bag, drop into locked
tin box. and the collecting postman
who goes his round in light cart, has
only to remove the box and put an
empty one in its place. In this way
the collections are not only made with
great rapidity, but the chance of loss,
robbery or the damage of letters is,
minimized. Another good thing about
some continental posts is the clear in
dieation which they stamp on an en-
velope as to the place and time at
which it was posted. place de la
Bourse, Paris, l eme," with the date
this means that the letter was post,
at the place mentioned in time for t
second collection Of the day.

Gold Hunting Extraordinary.

The st. Louis Chronicle says a syndi-
cate of wealthy st. Louis men are inter-
ested in scheme to acquire fabulously
rich gold mines between ATTITUDES TWEEN
ty-seven and Twenty-Five degrees in the
Mexican peninsula. In 1876 there was
a population of 1000 in the area named,
but nothing was heard from them for
years. Early in 1868 the Mexican gov
eminent sent an expedition under Senior
Blanca to explore the country and re-
port. They travelled from San Diego
and the Pacific coast of the Gulf of
California, and returned in four months
almost skeletons. For $50 miles they saw
no living thing except an old Indian and
his squaw; the pack animals died
of hunger and thirst At two
places they passed deserted mission
churches built of stone. In these were
gold and silver vessels on the affairs, and
in the vestries hung priestly vestments
covered with dust and dropping to pieces
with age. Dried and beached bones
were found, but not bird, animal or
reptile; not drop Of water and no indi.
cation of rain for years. A few days later
they found rich deposits of gold ore, both
place and ledge, of which they brought
back specimens. These specimens are in
the hands of the agent of the st. Louis
syndicate and have been assayed by gov
eminent experts. The placer specimens
show $40 to the pound, and the ledge
specimens show from $50, 900 to 5000, 600
to the ton. To reach these deposits pipe
lines and artesian wells will be tried and
caches constructed for food. The coun-
try is the abode of desolation, and many
lives will be sacrificed before it can
be made habitable for the gold hun,
