ELECTRO-TRACTION STREET CARS.

With the introduction of a street
railway system, Honolulu becomes
interested in any improvement in
methods of traction. For the pre-
sent, animal power is the only kind
available The steam locomotive,
in the best forms yet devised for
street work, is too noisy, and too
noisome with smoke, to be allowed
In thorOughfares, and especially in
narrow streets like ours. Yet for
economy, speed and general availa-
bility, something much better than
horse power is greatly needed.
In this condition of things, it is
highly gratifying to learn how
rapidly electro motors are coming to
the front to supply the increasing
need of rapid, noiseless, efficient
and manageable tractor for street
cars. OF such motors, there are two
classes, for both of which good sue
cess is claimed. The cheapest
worked, and therefore the one chiefly
in use, derives its supply of cleo
tricity from a wire, either suspended
overhead, or sustained by insulators
between the rails. In the other sys-
tenn, the car carries storage batteries
to drive its engine, just as do the
electric launches. A sufficient mum
Der of storage batteries, charged at
a depot, can be carried by an ordin-
airy car, to drive it at good speed for
several hours. Electricity thus sup
piled is, however, much more costly
than when taken by wires directly
from the stationary dynamos.
Science for February 22d des-
cribes an electro-tractor now success
fully competing with steam power
on the Ninth Avenue elevated road
in New York city. 1t draws with
ease, four cars filed with passengers,
at the highest speed required, and is
doing its daily work regularly. "For
facility, certainty, and promptness
of manipulation nothing more could
be asked for. The conductor is a
copper rod, fve-eighths of an inch
in diameter, sustained by insulators
attached to the guard timbers along
side the track Elastic copper
brushes, pressing against and sliding
along this rod, convey the current to
the electro motive mechanism" For
this road an engine of $50 horse
power drives four dynamo gener-
ators of fifty horsepower each.
1t should be borne in mind that
the current used is of low tension,
like that of the telephone, and hence
devoid of the danger attending the
wires of our street arc lights, which
require high tension. Whether such
conductors could be so adjusted
under or above the Honolulu tram
ways without obstructing traffic, we
do not know. 1t may be that the
storage battery cars would be the
best for us. In any case, it would
seem probable that with the present
rapid progress in the evolution of
the electro traction engine, it must
soon supersede all other locomotors
for street railways, in Honolulu as
well as elsewhere. The high price
of all kinds of feed for animals here,
may be counted on as an extra mo
tive power in bringing about the
desirable change.

THE BRYANT SEIZED.


Under Libel for Carrying Opium-Pro-
cess ReturnabIe on Tuesday.
The facts regarding the seizure OF
sixty tins OF opium, previously reported,
on board the American bark c. D.
Bryant, were brought to the attention Of
His ExcelIency c. w Ashford, Attor-
ney-General. That functionary cOnsid-
cred the facts submitted to indicate such
a violation OF law as made the vessel
subject to seizure and confiscation. He
therefore sued out a writ Of libel against
the G. d. Bryant, before Mr.. Justice
Preston of the Supreme Court, who
made it returnable on Tuesday, 26th
inst. Under this writ Marshal Soper
seized the bark in the name Of the Gov
eminent on Saturday afternoon, and she
is now in charge Of the police. Captain
Lee IS allowed in the meantime to load
sugar sufficient to prevent damage to the
vessel from want of stiffening after dis
charge of cargo. The vessel is libelled
under Section OF Chapter of the Laws
of 1886, which reads as follows:
If any goods or articles prohibited from
being imported by any private persons
shall be found in any ship within TIE
limits Of any port Of this Kingdom, such
goods and articles and the packages con-
tanning the same, and all merchandise
or part of the invoice in which such
goods and articles were imported, shall
be forfeited, and all ships or boats com
ing into any port in this Kingdom hav-
ing opium on board concealed in false
bulkheads, false bows, double sides or
bottom, or in any secret or disguised
place whatsoever constructed in such
ships or boats, shall be forfeited
