THE NEW DIFFUSION APPA.
RATUS AT HAMAKUAPOKO, MAUI

The diffusion plant in course of
erection at Hamakuapoko, is mp
~prorching completion, and will, from
present appearance, be in full opera
ton by the middle of December,
This plant is very extensive and
%complet', and contains all the
improvements known to this pro-
cess up TO the present time. The
amount of machinery and other APP
paratuS necessary for diffusion is
far greater than is generally suppO>-
ed, II is also more complicated and
more elaborate, and forms n very
considerable addition to a sugar mil.
This mill was one of the largest
and finest on the island before this
Improvement vas made, and the
diffusion plant will make it still more
attractive. S%uperhraters are also
being put in this season, which it is
supposed will greatly facilitate the
work and economic the steam aud
fuel. Electric lights, also, are to be
put in, which will, il is expected,
light up every corner of the mill and
make it as bright as day. The mill
is being put in fir~t-class order IN
every respect, so Tint diffusion will
have a fair trial. Besides these i'm
provements, quite a number of build
ingS have been erected in Hnmakua-
poke, which have considerably i'm
prove" the appearance Of the place.
We are also glad to learn that on
this pIantatio- a very fine billiard
tnble, reading room aud library ARE
provided, which are opened aud
lighted up every night a' 5 o'clock,
and kept open until 10 o'clock pm,
excepting Saturdays, when the room
is kept open until IL o'clock.
Paia mill is also getting a general
o%verhauling ; superheaters are put
in and quite a number of improve
ments are being made. There is also
a billiard room just erected here by
the owners of this plantation, SO that
the employees can enjoy themselves
when their work is done. These
attractive features provided by tho
owners of these two plantations ara
duly appreciated by their workmen,
who are much better contented with
this kind of life, and are more willing
and helpful, and more likely to re-
main where such interest in them. is.

Three diffusion plants will be in
operation to take off the crop for
1890, on Kealia, with 1000 ions ;
Hamakuapoko, $500 tons, and
PrinceviIle, Kauai, with 1900 tons
Should these prove successful, other
plantations will adopt diffusion.
A Machine for Wrapping Oranges
The Remington Arms Company is manu-.

Yorkv lille, Oneida county, N. Y, a large

machines are simple and comparatively
inexpensive, but one will do the work Of
three persons at least. They will wrap
nicely in papers $500 oranges per hour.
The machine is about three feet long by

The Soldering Machine.

There is some talk here, says Doylcs-
town penn correspondent Of the New
York Times, about reyiving the "sober-
ing machine" Forty years ago it was
familiar piece Of mechanism. Simple in
construction, durable in use, it served its
purpose well and effectively In those
days drunken man was a rare sight. A
few citizens OF this place remember il
well. Jack" Reynolds was one OF the
men who manned the machine. and he re-
collects when it did yeoman service. But
the persons who fell victims 10 IL are too
modest to recall its purifying effects.
10 was devised because il was necessary,
and il consisted Of the running gear Of
an ordinary wagon with the hind wheels
taken of and box fastened 10 the axle.
Sobricty was the watchword Of the half
dozen men who ran IT, Whenever r.
drunken man or woman was seen ON the
street the machine was brought out. The
victim was placed on the broad Of his
back in the box Then the command
was given and the occupant was run out
Of town. IL was seldom that q man got
the second dose Of the "soberinV ma
chine" The tramps soon got 20 dread
the ride Of mile or so, and they never
returned after the first experience. The
wife beater Jared the same and it's in
fluencc had a salutary effect on this class
Of people. The old inhabitants say that
the "sobering machine" Of nearly a half
century ago was much more effective than
the threats and violence Of the White
Caps of the present day.
