Remarkable E1pcrlmcpt In Pho,orrnph,

Remarkable Experiment In Photography,
A remarkable experiment recently
made in photography opens up track
less and undiscovered domain in the
heavens. 1t beSgar the widest fiction
Of Verne. Some time ago camera
charged Will, highly sensitivizcd paper
was directed ut aclcnr spot in the skies,
where the most powerful telescope de,
tccted nothing, To the surprise Of tlir
operator the negative showed several
stars Of magnitude. This was at first
thought due TO some spot or defect III the
paper, hut the experiment was tried
again and again with the same result.
Some months afterward stars appeared
at the very points indicated by the
camera.
The explanation is this: Ever since
the velocity Of light has been measured
it las been known that there were
myriads Of stars whose rays, travelling
with uncomfortable Npidity since the
morning of creation, fad moi yet reached
the earth. Every now and then one Of
these appears. The camera in the in
stance l mention had caught the first
glimpse Of these newborn planets
months before their shafts of light had
penetrated space strongly enough to re,
veal them to the telescope lens.--F. p,

the MORNING STAR.

There has been a considerable
amount of criticism on the Mission
ary vessel, Morning Star, now in
port. Disapproval is expressed re-
garding her build, and she is said
to be poorly adapted for the services
for which she was intended. In
answer to enquiries, nautical men
say that the Morning Star was in
tended for sailing vessel, with
auxiliary steam power for maneuver-
ing IN difficult harbors, and for calm
weather. She was expected to be n
great improvement on the old Star,
particularly on account of her steam.
But it would appear that she is not
q thorough success as sailing
vessel. Some who have voyaged on
her do,not speak in flattering terms
of her action under canvas. She is
said to be too Hat III the moor ana to
have too little depth of keel, caus-
ing her to make considerable leeway
when sailing close hauled. Some
say that with sharp floor she would
draw too much water to allow Of hel
entering the lagoons Of the South
Seas. 1t must be admitted that SC
much hulk above water and hel
lofty houses on deck will naturally
cause drifting to leeward. A differ
emily made bottom, with less eleva
ton to her deck houses, would have
better adapted her to her require
ments. While on the Marine Rail
way recently an addition was made
to her keel, and new propeller pu
in. These are improvements tina
were much needed, and she vii
doubtless do her work more salts
factorily in future than formerly.

IMBEC!LlTY.

Our youthful morning contem-
porary has become feverish again.
For several days the fever had shown
indications of abatement, with strong
traces of imbecility trailing in its
wake. 1t was grievous 10 see, in
yesterdays issue, violent return
of the former. with the continued
presence Of the latter. We venture
to suggest that little hydropathic
treatment, judiciously administered,
to avoid "chilling to DEATH might
alleviate the worst SYMPTOMS of the
fever, and "slow down" the pulse
few BEATS but we are sceptical Of
any method of treatment, old or
new, being eflicacious to remedy the
imbecilty. The ailment is appar-
emily too deep-rooted for medical
skill to reach.
1t is really touching to see dear
young neighbor, who is an expounder
of logic and whose progenitor we
held in great veneration, i'll such n
pitiable condition Of intellectual
decrepitudc that his every effort to
enlighten the benighted minds of his
eager disciples betrays innocuous
vapidity or subservient cant, But
when, as in the startling exhibition
of yesterday, he manifests a pro-
pensity for prevarication and per-
versity in preference to candor and
truth, and essays TO stuff the unin-
formed with falsehood and fiddle
faddle, he becomes q proper object
of contempt.
Those who are familiar with the
truth of the matter, concerning
which our poor neighbor publishes q
series of misrepresentations-to use
an extremely mild word under the
circumstances-will naturally fee
unmeasured contempt for an organ
that can wilfully deviate so widely
from the line of truth. As for our
selves, we are accustomed to regarC
with cold Indifference the mounte
bank posturings and senseless drib
blings of an unpopular journal tina
has no particular opinion or meaning
of its own, and therefore imposes
no tax on the understanding of it
readers. We have often seen light
headed egotists, who "write Englisl
indifferently well'' and prate abou
''logic" of which they know as mucl
as COW of commerce, clustering
furiously for brief period, am
then falling violently back on thei
native insignificence.

motion in every department of life,
and in the future of these islands
there is very little chance for the
Hawaiian who does not understand
English. He can work in the taro
patch as well as anyone. he can
pound taro, he can lasso cattle, but
he cannot engage in business inter-
course with his fellow-residents.
Another great reason against the
proposed change was that this Gov
vernment has for great many years
conducted its affairs III the English
language and all the traditions of
civilization cluster around that
tongue. All public business and
legislation has been done on the
principle that the English language
was the best. To decree now that
the Hawaiian language is the official
language would be severe shock to
the regard in which our country is
held among the enlightened nations
Of the world, and would, damage
the opportunities and the prospects
of every Hawaiian in the country.
In behalf of Hawaiian she earnestly
seconded the motion TO indefinitely
postpone this bill
Minister Neumann said that,
among various reasons why this bill
should not pass, one was that the
main strength of the Hawaiian king
dom is now that the world under
stands It's business and affairs. Why
should law pass that the Hawaiian
version of the Penal Code should
prevail, while with respect to all
other laws English should prevail
Where should they be landed with
such q law as that? While the Ha-
waiian language could be used tc
perfection for the expression of re.
ligious, political or other sentiments,
the moment they try to get into the
technical terms of science or law
it is found to utterly fail. How
could they in geometry, for in
stance, express in Hawaiian such
things as a tangent, cosinc, or ;
parallelogram! That the Hawaiian
language can be used for singing il
obvious, and for defamation il
equally obvious-they had all heart
that: but when it came to declarin:
law, they would find that II grea
many men who should he convicted
would go free, and many who shoult
90 free would be convicted.
