TONNAGE MEASUREMENT OF HAWAIIAN
VESSELS.

Among the measures of relief granted
to American shipping by the United
States Congress a few years ago, was the
adoption of the English system of tom
mage measurement. This relief was a
substantial one, amounting to a large
saving to ship-owners, but being an act
of simple Justice the only wonder is that
1T was so long delayed. Now, it 50 hap
pens that the Hawaiian tonnage measure
ment is identical with the old American
system, which makes a difference of
fully forty per cent against ship-owners.
This, we submit, should be changed.
The rule applies to cur coasting vessels
and interisland steamers, as we'll as to
our ocean-going vessels, and it would
make a vast difference in the amount of
port and harbor dues at the end of the
year, paid by local ship-owners, whether
the tonnage was rated upon the new
American and British plan or upon the
existing scale.
Furthermore, it works as discrimina-
ton against Hawaiian shipping in home
American or English registers pay much
less towage, pilotage, light and harbor
charges than vessels of the same carry
ing capacity precisely would pay if they
stood upon the Hawaiian register. In
the case of steam vessels the difference
is relatively greater than in that of sail
ing vessels, although it applies to the
latter in degree. The policy OF the
country should be to encourage the crea-
ton of a strong mercantile marine under
the Hawaiian flag, and one very effective
way of doing this would be to remove, as
far as possible, all charges upon ship
ping, and especially in the matter OF
tonnage measurement to adopt the most
liberal rule In operation among maritime
nations.
We understand that the Collector Gen
eral OF Customs will recommend to the
Minister of Finance the adoption of the
Anglo-American rule of measurement,
and prepare a bill for that purpose to be
submitted to the Legislature. This is a
measure which should receive the hearty

country Doubtless the port and harbor
dues will be affected somewhat, but
what may be lost to revenue will be
gained to the trade and business interests
of the community. The future prosperity
of Honolulu especially, and of the King
dom as a whole, is identified with its
shipping interests. Improved steam
ship communication with the Coast by
the Oceanic Company's steamers, has
developed an amount of travel and COM
mercial intercourse no one supposed pos
sible few years ago. Let us endeavor,
by wise and progressive legislation, to
stimulate trade in this direction, and to
that end vessels on the Hawaiian register
should not be liable to more onerous
charges than those upon foreign regis

nIsking Artificial ivory

The manufacture of artificial ivory
has become an extensive industry in
this country, and especially in this city,
during the last few years. This has
been due To the scarcity of natural
ivory, which is insu fficient in quantity
to supply the heavy demand for it. NJ
merous ways of manufacturing it have
been employed at different times, but
none so successfully as that in vogue at
the present day.
An extensive dealer in artificial ivory
said to a reporter the other day that a
radical change had been made in the
manufacture of this useful article, and
the direct result is the production of a
better and cheaper material. At one
time, and that not long ago, majority
of the products were obtained by in
iecting wildwood with chloride of
lime under strong pressure. But this
formed plates of slightly yellowish
hue, which were liable TO split or scale
off at any moment. The dealer took up
a large ivory sleeve button from table
and began splitting it with penknife.
THAT is the kind of ivory that they
sell chiefly on the cheap stands in the
streets" he said. You see it is easily
Clipped up; and the interior presents a
dirty white that does not resemble nat
ural ivory in the least. Now take a
piece of artificial ivory made after the
improved method, and see the differ
ence? The plates here are of a pure
white and tough, and more easily
worked into proper forms than the nat
1ral ivory itself"
But how is this manufactured" was
asked.
"Why, out of the cheapest and sim
plest sort of material We collect large
number of bones of sheep and waste
pieces of deer and kid skin Then we
macerate and bleach the bones for two
weeks in chloride of lime, after which
they are heated by steam along with
the skin until they form fluid mass,
to which is added a small quantity of
alum. This fluid is then filtered and
thoroughly dried in the air, and al
lowed to harden in bath of alum
When finally taken out of this bath We
have perfectly white plates, ready to be
worked up and polished into any con-
ceiyable shane

COLONIAL DEFENSE.

1t is not always a misfortune to be the
citizen Of small country. Switzerland
enjoys great influence and immunity
from interference from its powerful
neighbors more by reason of its weakness
than from any other cause. In
deed there were political reasons which
tended to menace the independence OF
the Helvetian Confederacy. 1t main
tanned the republican idea against the
dynastic, and harbored political malcon-
tents and conspirators from every part OF
the globe. Switzerland was too weak to
be aggressive, however, and the Great
Powers allowed the Swiss people to en-
Joy their freedom and federal system
without let or hindrance Had it been
strong enough to become aggressive it
would have been overrun and subjugated
long ago.
The Australian Colonies, were they in
dependent powers, would in like manner
avoid unpleasant consequences should
the parent State go to war. They would
be permitted to develop in peace, like
the Central and South American Repub-
lies, so long as they did not interfere
with other peoples business; but being
integral parts of great Empire, and
the mainstay of British commerce and

enterprise in the Southern Hemisphere,
they are liable to attack in the event OF
any war in which England is a principal
The contingency has already imposed
heavy burdens upon the self-governing
Colonies, which are called upon to pro-
vide for their own defense. The late
Russian war scare cost the Australian
Colonies and New Zealand over $1,000
600 in the aggregate, in shore fortified
tons, torpedo and gunboats, with the
necessary armament of the latest and
most effective pattern. But this is not
all. Australasian commerce has attained
TO such a magnitude that the Imperial
Government contemplates strengthening
the feet in that quarter by important adj
ditions, and the Colonies are invited to
participate in the expense. Admiral
Tryon, commanding that station, has
been instructed to confer with the Colon
ial Government on the subject of feder-
alton for defense. His proposal is to add
several fast cruisers and torpedo boats to
the Australasian squadron, charging the
cost to the Colonies, which are expected
to contribute in the ratio of population.
- the population of New Zealand is
100000, and its proportion would be
Zoo 900 ($3, 800, OOO), it follows that the
entire contribution for the Australasian
commemorative, numbering 5000, 900 all
told, would be "a, 200, OOO ($21 900 ,OOO).
The Colonies have not agreed to this
enormous Imperial demand. Indeed,
they could Lot afford it; but that they
viii be compelled to pay large sum to
exc out the navy estimates of England
on the plea OF naval defense is I'M
doubted. This is one of the penalties of
participating in national greatness.

An Artificial Volcano.
Lancaster pa New Era. !

Lancaster (Pa) New Era.
1t was formed spontaneously at the
Macungie furnace, in Lehigh, Pa, on
the top of car of melted iron cinders.
AS the extreme crust of the Stag cooled
and consequently contracted, the inte-
rior gases, cramped for want of room,
burst out at the surface in Jets and
spurts as in natural volcanic eruption,
and proportionately quite as high, grad
ually forming the frustum of an irreg
ular cone, with an opening in the center
from bottom to top. Through this
opening the melted matter was
forced up from the mass below, run
ming over at the top of the cone on all
sides and dripping downward, cooled
into beautiful stalactical forms.
The hight of the cone is twenty
inches, outside diameter at bottom fif-
teen inches, and at the top five inches.
IS growth occupied half an hour Its
weight is ninety pounds. This is good
illustration of the manner in which vol
canic peaks are supposed to be natur-
ally formed, confirming the theory that,
as the crust of the earth contracts by
cooling, the interior gases and melted
matter requiring moro room, mountain
ranges are raised, and, at the weaker
points, openings are forced, from which
the imprisoned matter escaped and vol
canic peaks and craters are formed,
just as in the specimen above described.

One of the most interesting sights in
Paris is Napoleon's tomb, situated I'M
der the dome of the Invalides, the
gilded top of which may be seen from
all parts of the city. The emperor's
tomb is open for public inspection on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
This splendid mausoleum was con-
structed by Visconti, and is twenty feet in
depth and thirty-six feet in diameter.
The sarcophagus rises up from the GEN.
ter of the mosaic pavement, which
represents a wealth of laurels;
twelve marble caryatides surround
the pedestal, between which are
stands of flags taken during
the Napoleonic wars Above the en-
trance to the tomb, which was in the
rear, is the following inscription: "Je
desire iue mes cendres reposent sur les
bords de la Seine au milieu de ce peuple
Francois que jai tant Anne" 81 desire
that my ashes shall rest on the banks
of the Seine in the midst of the French
people whom l loved so we'll. Persons
are not admitted to the crypt, but can
see it perfectly well from above.
Eehind the church is the Hotel deS
Invalides, which is an asylum for dis
abled soldiers, and contains a museum
of artillery and other curiosities. The
Esplanade des Invalides is an extensive
square in front of the building.
