Hum ming Birda.

Humning birds are confined in the Ameri-
can continent, including the West Indies.
Although nearly tropical In their distribu-
ton, some few hardy species extend upwards
on the slopes Of the Great Andes to the very
regions Of eternal snow. There is now no
doubt that they are insect eaters, although
they also use very largely the nectar flowers.
There are nearly 400 species Of these ''jewels

! lecture last evening was discredit-
ABLY small in view OF the speaker
I known ability and the esteem i'll which
| a considerable section Of this community
! would like to be held as the friends and
/ patrons of education and culture. Those
| who were present were, however, thor
! oughly appreciative, and were rewarded
by the presentation of a large amount OF
interesting information in a condensed
and attractive form.
The lecture was mainly historical, Civ
ing an account OF the discovery by the
medieval alchemists OF various sub
stances and processes essential to the
later development of the art Of photo
graphy, the real importance and signif-
canoe OF which was entirely overlooked
at the time, in consequence OF the minds
OF the discoveries being concentrated
upon the one object OF transmitting
the baser metals into gold. The
discovery OF nitric acid by AlbertuS
Magnus, and the subsequent formation
OF the nitrate and chloride OF silver, only
to be cast aside as useless for the pur-
pose of the alchemist, was given IN a
very interesting manner. Coming down !
to more recent times, sketch was given /
of the researches OF Daguerre and his |
contem pOraries, and the later steps by |
which photography has reached its pre-
sent high state OF perfection. The lecture
closed with a reference to some of the
wonderful effects in the way OF rapid
photography, which have resulted from
recent discoveries. Pictures can now be
taken in the two hundred and fftieth
part OF a second, so that clear views have
been obtained OF a cannon ball in its
flight, of a train of cars running at the
rate OF fifty miles an hour, and other
things equally curious. The small num-
Der present were well paid for their at
tendance.

HAWAIIAN OPERA HOUSE.

Enthusiastic Reception OF the Swiss

BehoIders-An Ovation at Every
Number.
There was only a medium-sized audi
ence in the Opera House yesterday
evening, but the only drawback to the
enjoyment of all present was a feeling OF
pity for absent friends. Alter an over
ture by the Royal Hawaiian Bands
orchestra, under Prof. Berger's leading,
Mr.. w. S. Maltby appeared as Mile.
Emillins on the bicycle. In this and
each OF two later appearances his per
formances were accompanied with ring
ing applause throughout. 1t is really
marvellous what he can do, and what he
does eXciteS wonder as to what he can
not do, on the bicycle and its dissected
parts. His wheeling is more than won
derful, however; it is remarkably beauti-
ful in the poetry of motion displayed
Maltby alone is worth the admission fee.
And what shall be said OF the Tvro-
lese warblers? They simply carried the
audience away with their enhancing
music, both vocal and instrumental.
1he warbIng OF Miss UhI and Mr..
Mag, in both solos and duets in which
they appeared, was thrillingly delight
full. Mr.. \. Schmidt played accom-
paniments on the either to all the sing
ing, besides joining in trios while play
ing and giving solos on that instrument. !
MIR. Mag played on the guitar both in a |
duet with the either and while singing in |
trios. The audience would at times
break ont in apDlauSp before tho ba -
We're finished, and was humored with a
third response to recalls once or twice out
Of several times. Only one verdict was
heard at intermIssiOn and dispensing,
which was that it was the finest music
heard in Honolulu for many day.
The orchestra deserve special mention
or excellent Overtures in all the inter-
walls and during the cycle performances.

ion Will appear in an entire change of

Abiding to the destructive in.

happiness, Cardial Manning said, on
a recent occasion: For thirty five
years L have been priest and Bishop
IN London, and now [ approach my
eightieth year. I have learned some
lessons, and the first thing is this:
The chief bar to the working of the
Holy Spirit of God in the souls of
men and women is intoxicating
drink. 1 know no antagonist to that
good Spirit more direct, more subtle,
more stealthy, more ubiquitous than
Intoxicating drink. [ know of no
cause that affects man, woman, child
and home with such universally of
steady power as Intoxicating drink"
