TO SAIL FIFTY MILES AN HOUR.

The Spanish Government have
contracted with Messrs. Yarrow &
Co. for the construction of two tor
pedo- boats capable of obtaining n
speed of twenty-five knots an hour.
But there is every probability this
speed will soon be greatly exceeded;
and in a paper which has just been
read before one of the engineering
societies of London, it has been
shown by G. Hurst of the Engineer
ing College at Chiswick, how a
speed of forty knots may without
difficulty be attained. 1t has been
conclusively shown that, in vessels
of the same form but of different
sizes, the resistance varies as the
cubical capacity at speeds not
identical, but varying as the square
root of the increase of lineal dimen-
sion. Thus, says Mr.. Hurst, if we
take a iirst.class torpedo-boat, ITO
feet long, 10 feet broad, feet 3
inches draught of water, 25I tons
displacement, 470-horse-power, and
124 knots speed, we can from the
performance of such a vessel de-
termine what the performance will
be of vessel of the same form but
larger every way. If we take the
larger vessel as four times the linear
dimensions of the smaller, and OF
the same proportionate power, the
displacement will be 1850 tons, and
the power will be 30,OSO horses.
The speed will be 434 knots per
hour. Reckoning the weight of
machinery at sixty pounds per horse
power, as in Thornycraft's engines,
the draught of water due to such
weight will be 50 feet, and If we
take the weight of hull as equal to
the weight of machinery, the draught
Of water, with water in the boilers,
but without Goals or stores on board,
will be II feet s inches. If we take
the consumption of Goals at two
pounds per horsepower per hour,
the total consumption per hour will
be 26.S tons; and if the speed be
43g knots, or 49.4 statute miles, a
voyage of 5000 statute miles will
be accomplished in 6O.7 hours with

BANANAS GROWN IN SACRAMENTO.

If there has been any lingering
doubt as to the fixed semi-tropical
climate of this section of California,
let those who question the fact visit
the grounds of S. II. Gerish, 1917
G street, in this city, and see bana-
mas there ripening and being pluck
ed for table use. This is q new
class of fruit to be grown in the
Sacramento Valley, but there is no
doubt that the hardy variety of
banana grown by Mr.. Geush can be
successfully cultivated here. A
specimen of the fruit taken from
Mr.. Gerish's plants was sent to this
office yesterday. 1t is of good size,
and affords incontestable evidence
of the semi-tropical nature of our
climate and ITS certainty of adapta-
ton to the citrus fruits, which are
much more hardy. The banana
plants grown by Mr.. Gerrsh have
had no protection whatever during
the winter season, so-called, and
needed nome Record-U Union.

Cleveland has nm economical dispos
sition and no luxurious tastes like
his immediate predecessor. Before
he entered public life, when he was
making $4,000 TO $4,000 q year
by his practice and could have lived
like lord, his expenses, I'm told,
were never more than So, 800 a year
and he enjoyed life as much as most
do. His frugal habits were acquired
in youth, for he was not born with q
golden or silver spoon in his mouth
and he has found his pleasure in
hard work.
The Presidents Buffalo friends
estimate that he was worth from
100000 to $4,000 when he was
elected, and has already increased
that amount considerably by profit
able investments and by the surplus
of his salary. Although he has not
stinted himself in any way at the
White House, but has lived gener-
ously, he would have found it diff
cult to spend $50, 900 year, with
out what would be to him prohigate
extravaganza. Now that he is mar
ried his household expenses will be
largely increased, as he will natur-
ally entertain more and extend his
hospitality. A state dinner seldom
costs less than $500, although there
is no expenditure for music or
flowers.
The published reports of the will
of Mrs. Cleveland's grandfather
gives her legacy of $4,000, which
is invested in Western bonds and
city property in Omaha.-[S. f.

SOME new BUILDINGS.

Probably few people imagined
that the work of rebuilding the
burnt district of April 18th would
have been so expeditions as events
are proving. The passage of the
bill extending the lireproof limits
over portion of that district has
not even been check, for that part
is being covered almost as rapidly
as the part where wooden buildings
are allowed. At least one new brick
building is occupied by business
tenants, and several are nearly ready
for occupation.
The Cosmopolitan Saloon build
ing, southwest corner of Hotel and
Nuuanu streets, was the first brick
building finished. 1t was built by
the Honolulu Planning Mills for
Freeth & Peacock. The contract
required completion in two months:
the building was handed over to the
owners at the expiration of six weeks
and day. e-story, the building
contains the saloon above-named
and three stores, the latter being all
tenanted. The saloon is wainscoted
in redwood with black walnut grain
ing, and the bar is topped with solid
black walnut. All openings have
swinging blinds of cedar. The
building is Is feet by 53 feet, with
ceilings 10 feet high,
Another building erected by the
Honolulu Planning Mills, one that is
really an ornament to the business
quarter, is that built for Widemann
and Spencer, to be leased to Wing
Wo Chan & Co., replacing the one
that firm was burnt out of. 1t is
the third building from the corner
of King street, on the Waikiki side
of Nuuanu street. 1t has beer

the interior is approaching readiness

plped down TO a solid basis, and he
has entered suit for damages
against the well-borer in the Su-
preme Court. The pipe is "a inch,
and the water rises seven feet above
the surface. A delightful view is
commanded by the property-Pearl
Harbor with smooth beach in
front, the Waianae mountains be-
yond; the village of Eva with its
high white church to the right of
the water prospect, and mountains
near and far in every other direc-
ton. The branch of Pearl Harbor
on which this property fronts would
make a splendid, smooth and
straight, rowing course, and, once
improved communications with the
city are effected, as they must be
in time, this will likely be the re-
gatta ground of Honolulu. AT
present the Eva road has many bad
spots, which could be repaired with
out very great expense, so that the
drive in that direction would be
made one of the pleasantest out of
the city. The writer paid visit to
the property above described, in
company with DR.. McGrew, yester-
day behind stylish, powerful, but
rather nervous horse, which he is
with rare skill reducing to the charac-
ter of a staid and safe roadster for
its owner, DR.. McKibbin. The
drive in the pure mountain air was
enjoyable and invigorating.

The PRESIDENTS WEALTH.

The editor of the Sunday Cdpital
says: A Western paper thinks the
President must have had his we'd
ding money made to order like his
clothes, because the correspondents
report him as having given DR..
Sunderland ga crisp new 500 note
as wedding fee and as having
tossed crisp new So note" into the
contribution box when he went to
church at Oakland. The President
of the United States always uses
new money. He never gets any old
notes, except in change when max
ing purchases. His salary is paid
him in monthly nstallments-
81, 1876. sc, on the last day of each
month-and the Treasurer always
makes it point to send him notes
of the latest issue.
Mr.. Cleveland, as his predeces-
sors have done, keeps private
bank account with Riggs Sc Co. and
makes Il deposit the first of every
month, reserying enough from his
salary to pay current expenses and
setting good example by putting
the rest aside for rainy day. am

balance as large as $50, 900, as he
has an income aside from his official

NE LAUGHS BEST WHO LAUGH LAST.

An old colored man went into the
gallery of the New York Stock Ex-
change the other day, and when the
bulls and bears on the floor caught
sight of him they forthwith arrang-
ed an impromptuous performance of
the most approved style for his es-
pecial benefit. A squad of them
sang negro melodies in hilarious
time and tune, and one accomplish
ed broker stepped forward and did
a double shuttle that would have
been creditable to u professional on
q minstrel boards. The boys
thought the old darby was done for,
but they changed their mind pre-
sently. After the dance was finish
ed he deliberately arose, thrust his
fingers into his vest pocket, and,
drawing forth nickel, tossed it 10
the dancer with grin and courtly
bow. The roar that broke from the
spectators shook the building, and
the would-be funny fellows found
themselves decidedly short on the
practical joke business.-S. F. Bull.

His bread is made from maize or

converted into soup and eaten with
rice, cabbage, beans, and other
vegetables. For beverage he has
the rough, red wine of the country.
He varies this diet with dried cod

MISS pREsc0TTs READING.

The reading given by Miss Ann
Prescott at the Y. M. C. A. Hall
last evening was quite satisfactory
to the audience, which was not as

from Poe, Holmes, Whittier and
other poets were read with much
feeling and power, the lady elocu-
zionist managing her voice with skill
and judgment.
The entertainment closed with the
recital of the Hawaiian National
Hymn composed by the late King
Lunalilo, and translated by the late
III. l.. Sheldon.
Miss Prescott's manner and de-
livery show most careful training
and study, and as teacher of elo-
cution she has had large expe-
rience.
