SIXTY INCH TELESCOPES.
Mr.. AIvan Clark Says They Have Never
Been Dreamed of Before.

Mr.. AIvan Clark Says They Have Never
Been Dreamed of Before.
With reference to Representative
Buffers bill for an appropriation of
$1,000,000 for a sixty-inch telescope,
to be mounted in the National OBJ
servatory, Mr. Alvan Clark, the re
nowned maker of lenses, says that
he does not believe any better results
can be obtained by constructing so
large a glass, that is, provided it is
located on the Atlantic slope. The
twenty-six-inch glass at the Harvard
University is, he says, plenty large
enough.
But in the wonderfully clear air Of
California and the Pacific coast re-
gion he says the largest sized glasses
can be used with effect. A sixty-inch
glass situated, say on Mount Hamil-
ton, where the Lick glass now is,
would accomplish wonders in stellar
exploration. As to the possibility of
constructing such an immense lens
Mr.. Clark will only say that it can
be done if the glass can be cast, but
such a thing was never before
dreamed Of Eek.

of Robert Elsmere, if he has seen as
much He claims, however, to have
read at least twenty reviews of the
book, from Gladstone to Joseph
Cook. He is satiated with the topic
and never wants to see the inside of
the volume itself
There are many cultivated readers
among us, who regulate their mental
pabulum, and feed on stronger as
well as lighter literature. Hawaii
has no great crop Of authors, though
as many perhaps in proportion to
white population as most countries.
a history or two, a scientific work or
so, few bits of "reminiscences, essays,
tours, about cover the whole. There
are undoubtedly many who highly
and even artistically appreciate what
is specially merf5orious in fiction or
poetry, if not so many what belongs
to science or philosophy. Mr.. Robert
Louis Stevenson probably has more
such readers here in proportion to
our numbers, than in any other city
he could visit. The Master of Bal
lantrae, though man of mettle, is
recognized as akin to Mr. Hyde.
Yet some people wonder how a
country laird could so rapidly de-
velop the remorseless pirate, devoid
of mercy and bereft of honor, held
back from the pit neither by pure
love nor by a noble heritage. It is,
however, in that tremendous lapse
from a high moral endowment, that
the interest is conferred either in
Ballantrae or Hyde. Satan is inter
esting because an angel fallen; as
mere born devil he would be simply
hideous.
We presume Mr.. Stevenson will
not make leading characters of any
Of the excessive outgrowths of savage
life he may hear of in his Oceanic
wanderings; such for example as the
deifed sorcerer in Nukuliwa, who
roasted in his mountain den, and
roared for the cannibal rations which
his terrified worshipers brought
him. The stem from which grew
such pagan fiends never had grace
or beauty enough to make US be-
moan their doom. Notwithstanding
certain external features of savage
life, particularly i'll Polynesia, which
are picturesque and even fascinating,
it is in its essence too squalid, too
bestial, to lend itself to any serious
and faithful use of the novelist Yet
it is not safe to say what genius
like Mr.. Stevenson's may weave from
it. If he could get at the true in
wardness of the Hale Naua, he might
possibly lay hold of some useful
points in that line. We shall all be
interested in the coming fruit of his
Pacific experiences.

PORTUGUESE HEGIRA THREAT
ENED.


The Movement to Emigrate to Puget
sound-The Portuguese Press on the
Matter.
The following is translation Of
an article in the Aurora Hawaiiana
of February 9th:
''Some months ago the Portuguese
of the district of Hilo began to feel
dissatisfied in consequence of the
planters dismissing their Portuguese
Iaborers, and putting in their place
cheaper japanese hands, and became
alarmed with the future of their
families. X * With view
to remedy this state of things, a
meeting was held in Hilo, and after
discussion it was resolved that a
delegate should be sent to Wash
ingtOn Territory in the United
States, for the purpose of selecting
suitable location for future colony.
Two of the delegates chosen, Louis
Cabral and Joaquin CarvalhO, pro
ceeded through the districts of HIIO
and Hamakua, soliciting the neces-
sary funds to carry out this project.
The same gentlemen left IN the
steamer for Kohala, to advocate
their emigration scheme. Nearly all
the Portuguese of Hilo, even those
who are still working on the planta-
tons, are resolved to embrace this
project, contributing each his dollar
for the realization of it. Senr.
Manoel Correa, a wealthy and infu
entail Portuguese, was nominated
delegate to go to that territory, i
= & and if the information
which he brings from thence should
be favorable, to Immediately charter
a ship, and the emigration is to fol-
low thereupOn en- masse.
"In conversation with some Of the
most intelligent Portuguese, they
express themselves as follows: that
the Homestead Act has been of no
service to them, in consequence of
it's serious delays, accompanied by
prolonged prOcrastinatiOn on the
part of the Government. Others
still were of the opinion that even
those who had acquired home
steads under the Act, would not
have any market where they could
dispose of their produce; the more
so that bad roads OF no roads at all
and heavy freights all work against
them.
cot may be added here that the
failure of Mr.. Wilder's railroad pro-
ject has had the effect of discourag
ing these people from taking up the
homestead lots offered by the Gov
ernment in Hamakua.) Others again
say that seeing the planters and the
Government virtually work hand IN
hand, they cannot expect any assis-
lance from that quarter, and there
fore there is no use in delaying any
longer.
g In view of such state Of things
it is not surprising that in the opinion
of the Portuguese there remains for
them no other alternative than to
abandon the country. If this move
ment of emigration goes on, it means
neither more nor less than the de-
parture of 1000 souls from this
island (HawaiD"
The editorial articles in both the
Portuguese papers strongly oppose
this movement, on account Of the
cold and damp climate of Puget
Sound, and the difficulty which the
poor emigrants will have IN sup
porting their families until they can
acquire title to land, and render
those lands productive, etc.

BOOKS AND READING IN HAWAII.

This is a great country for con
sumption Of reading matter. People
learn abroad to read a variety of
daily papers pretty regularly, and so
have begotten a certain craving.
Here, the dailies are not forthcoming
in any alarming quantities-in the
rural districts, not at all. So the
appetite feeds on what else can be
had. A large assortment Of weeklies
and pictorial journals are taken.
The leading monthlies have a great
circulation. Some of our friends
have a fine zest for that wonderful
little paper, the Youths Companion

There has been large importation
OF the cheap editions of standard
novels, which appear to have worked

POSTAGE STAMPS.

There are about six thousand different
descriptions of postage stamps in exis-
tence. The museum of the Berlin post
Office alone contains between four and
five thousand specimens, of which half
are from Europe, and the remainder di-
vided between Asia, Africa, America
and Australia. What country carries of
the palm for absurdity and grotesuueness
OF artistic design and inleriority OF exc
cutiOn, We are not told, but if the collec-
ton is faithfully representative, the
variety OF ugliness must be considerable.
Some of the stamps, it appears, bear
coats-ol-arms, and other emblems, inn
partially borrowed from the heavens
above, the earth beneath, and the waters
under the earth-stars, eagles, lions.
horses, serpents, railway trains, dol
phins, and other fearful wild-fowls. "
There are, moreover, the eliigies of five
Emperors, eighteen Kings, three Queens,
one Grand Duke, several inferior titled
rulers, and many Presidents In so
many countries and nationalities some
really attractive specimens must have
been elaborated, but, ii so, it is a pity
our authorities did not borrow a hint or
two from the best; for anything more
bold, monotonous and commonplace than
the British series of postage stamps
we'll imagined.-[London Paper Makers
Journal.
Hawaiian stamps consist of three
series, numerals, copperplate and
steel. The numerals were the earli-
est issues, from 1876, and some of
them are very rare, being valued as
high as $3.50 for a single stamp. OF
these there are many spurious imita-
tions. The copperplate stamps were
issued from 1853 to 1860. The steel
portraits of Hawaiian sovereigns are
generally conceded to be among the
finest postage stamps issued by any
government, and no collection is
complete without the entire Hawai-
ian issues from 1S51-S5. The most
complete collection of stamps on
these islands is believed to be that
of Mr.. g. A. Brown, which numbers
over 5000. We understand that this
collection has been sent to the Paris
Exposition, insured for $1,000, which
is about half its value.
