Mr.. Eric s. Bruce recently delivered
lecture in London on Health and the Elec
trio Light The lecturer stated that the
requirements of an artificial light, In order
10 make it conducive to health, were that il
should not be a source of impurity to the
atmosphere; it should heat the atmosphere
ms little as possible it should be brilliant
bright light, and should be perfectly steady,
Clearly, and in no way danger Most OF
those requirements, however, were not met
by the forms of artificial light in use; in.
deed, all lights which were dependent on
combustion at the burner were sources OF
impurity to the atmosphere and a danger to
the public.
The electric incandescent lamp, he pointed
out, was the only light where they had per-
feet incandescence without appreciabIe com
bustion in the lamp. 1t possessed all the
health requirements of an artificial light,
such as an inappreciable heat, purity and
brilliancy of color, steadiness of light, and
immunity from danger of fire. The lecturer,
having shown by experiments the advantages
Of electric lighting over other illuminants.
concluded by tracing the present depression
in the electric market to the experimental
nature OF the earlier work, the prejudices OF
the public, and certain drawbacks OF the
present electric lighting act At the con-
clusion of the lecture the chairman in NOV
ing vote OF thanks to Mr. Eric Bruce, said
the electric light possessed almost every
advantage that was required in an artificial
light, and in his opinion it was destined to
be the light of the future. London Letter.

Consumption Of Impure concoctions.

An eminent French physician who has
made the study Of intemperance speciality
reports that the cases of alcoholism in the
public hospitals come principally from de
parbments where wine is not produced and
are generally the result of the consumption
of impure connections. He holds that govern
ment in dealing with the question should
provide absolute liberty in the sale Of cider,
beer and wine ON the condition that they are
Of good quality and unadulterated; official
supervision Of the manufacture of spirits,
the imposition of high taxes on spirits, and
insistenoe upon good moral character and
severe license in the case Of dealers, and,
finally, che punishmsRt I'm an exemplary

The Upper story Of tho stoyepipe.

Sometimes there is a good deal in a hat,
and sometimes there is not The latest au-
thority says there is to be less room In the
upper story Of the stovepipe than usual.
In fact, the newest dudes are already taper
ing Off at the top good deal like the old
fashioned sugar-loaf, or the historic hat OF
the witch-burners.
or course there win be more or less cutlery
against the elongation and narrowing of the
stovepipe 1t Is ugly and uncomfortable
enough at the best But when it conforms
measurably to the size of the human head
and keeps up something OF the spirit of
soft hat or turban tAe human eye Is not too
severely offended But to run it up to a
plain, black blunted point is too much even
for the prevailing beauty of men.
Possibly the return to tine Puritan shape
Of hat may swing us back somewhat toward
Puritan morals, and in some things some
people might be inclined to call that an inn
provement. But it is doubtful il the hat
would accomplish much toward improved
morality. Even the head is rather ineffec-
tive in that line, and much less can be said
of hats The narrow top hats have not i'm
proved the women very much, and the men
are much tougher subjects. On the whole,
little is TO be hoped for in the new hats Of
the day. Philadelphia Times

THE TABLEAux TONIGHT.
Outline OF the Scenes.

The tableaux to be presented this
evening in the Music Hall, have been
arranged SO as to depict scenes in
ancient Hawaiian history.
The first scene is that of fishermen
engaged in catching fish with net
thrown from canoes. On this occa-
sion they were commanded to secure
one of their number as victim for a
sacrifice. Accordingly, when the net
is thrown and the two divers go down
TO drive the fish into the net, one of
them is caught in its meshes and
drowned. The body is then laid on
some stones for the priests.
The second scene is intended 10
represent an incident in the life OF
Kamehameha l. That chief, after
conquering Hawai-, consulted an
old man whom he found playing a
game of Hawaiian Checkers" as to
whom he (Kamehameha) should take
as his wife, asking him if he should not
takeayoungchiefess whichhis attendant
carried on his shoulders. The answer
was that the great chief should conquer
the chiefess who ruled over Maui; that
he should call his soldiers about him
and declare war. Kamehameha there
fore ordered the "war conch" to be
sounded, to summon his soldiers to-
gether.
After this scene will be an exhibition
Of the Hawaiian "Punch and Judy"
with which the people amused them
selves in former years.
The next scene represents Kameha-
meha as seated on his throne, while
his soldiers go through the ancient
"spear dance" in his honor.
The fourth and final tableau shows
Kamehameha as having conquered and
taken prisoner the high chiefess of
Maui and her mother. The soldiers
march out in his honor, and the Kings
dancers go through number of figures
before him.
The captive chiefess and her mother
are then brought forward, met by the
King, released by him and he takes
the daughter as his wife.
Bsrger's orchestral band will play be-
tween the scenes, and his choir of lady
singers will sing all the favorite Ha.
wailan songs The number of those
invited has been limited to the utmost
seating capacity of the hall, and usher:
will show each one to their designated
seats. For the first time the hall viii
be lit with the electric light.

Death of n Young Man.

Last evening word was received by
telephone of the death, at Koolau, this
island, of w. ]. Tilsley bookkeeper for
heeia Plantation. The deceased was
a young man who, to appearances, had
scarcely reached his majority He
came out from England, being in poor
health, on the last steamer here with
Portuguese immigrants. On Wednes-
day of last week he was in town view
ing the Jubilee festivities, and contrary
to friendly advice returned to Koolau
in the rain. The consequence was
he was seized with hemorrhage of the
lungs, causing his death at three o'clock
yesterday afternoon. His funeral takes
place at Koolau to-day. 1'ilsley is
said to have had no relations in this
country, and few near relatives in any
part of the world, He is well spoken
of for his pleasant disposition by some
in town who knew him. During his
last visit to the city he called at this
office and paid for the HERALD term
in advance.

A Baokdo W..

Major Cornwell, Mr.. c. o. Berger,
Major Haley, Mr.. Ed. Hoffman and
Hon. S. Parker were entered for the
100 yards race yesterday, but all of
them failed to come to the scratch.
Perhaps the following entry bracketed
against their nance in the secretarys
book explains the default: "H. Mac
farlane will run any Of these men any
distance, in any weather, under any cir
cumstances" They could have avoid
ed the appearance of an inglorlous
backdown by nominating a race to
KoJlau, in a Kona storm, under cir
cumstances over which they have no
control.
