THE completion of the new Volcano
Hotel, as announced in our Hilo letter,
is an event of some importance to the
"'o4i-'5 r~'-'.-- I>~ mill now Al .,
handsome and commodious house fitted
with every convenience that can be de-
sired. For forty years tourists have been
compelled to put up with second or third
class accommodations, because none
better were to be had for love or money.
The company who now have charge OF
this establishment mean that it shall be
kept in the best style of modern hotels,
and that its patrons shall have no cause
Tor complaint. A new and beautifully
illustrated handbook of Kilauea has
been recently printed in Chicago from
original photographs, which is said to
surpass any thing of the kind yet issued
relating to Hawaii. These will be re-
ceived next week by the Australia, in
which vessel Mr.. Thurston, the Presi-

MORE SALT THAN TIE
DEAD SEA.

A sample of the water of the salt lake
of Ala Paakai has been recently ana
Used in the laboratory of Oahu College,
with results of popular as well as scien-
tific interest. The water which, in dry
weather, deposits salt abundantly, is Of
course saturated brine, yet it differs
essentially from the brine obtained by
evaporating to saturation ordinary sea-
water. The difference is strikingly
shown by merely mixing the two clear
fluids, when a copious deposit imme-
diately forms Of sulphate OF lime, SO that
the mixture almost solidifes. The sea-
water contains sulphate of magnesia in
abundance, but scarcely any lime, while
the salt lake water contains chloride of
calcium, lime salt, with only trace of
sulphate.
In composition, the water of Ala
Pakai approaches closely to that of the
Dead Sea. The water from either of
these inland basins will vary, of course,
IN salinity at different seasons, and that
| OF our salt lake is, at this time of the
year, at its maximum of saturation.
| Analysis shows that it contains at pres
- - -" saline matter than has ever
been reported, so lar as UuI l.noyvledoc
goes, from the Dead Sea. The specific
gravity of the water, even at tempera-
ture of 80 deg. F. is 1856; at the stand
ard temperature. it would of course be
higher. The water of the Dead Sea is
considerably lighter, its specific gravity
having been found by different Observ-
| ers to range from liz (Lynch) to "a
Iavoisier).
The most remarkable popularity Of the
water is the excessive quantity of lime it
carries. This should give it peculiar
medicinal virtues, the water to be taken,
of course, like that of strong lime springs,
only after large dilution. Such saline
water, suitably diluted, should have also
important medicinal effects in the form
of baths, and other uses will suggest
themselves to those who are familiar
with the disinfectant properties of many
of the chlorides. 1t would be easy to
transform it into preparation at least
as efficient and useful as Platt's chlorides,
or Pilden's Bromo-chloralum. The re-
suits of the analysis have been kindly
furnished us by Prof. Lyons, together
with comparative figures showing the
composition average of several analysis)
OF tile water of the Dead Sea and that of
concentrated sea water from Kakaako
salt works. The figures represent in
each case the quantity in grains Of the
ingredient contained in one wine gallon
of the water:

SUGGESTIONS OF EVIL.

The special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle reporting that many ru
mors are in circulation near the State
Department of Washington concerning
the future of Hawaii, and which we
printed yesterday, bear obvious marks
OF the handiwork of Moreno, as we then
stated. If this be the case, as can
scarcely be doubted, then beyond all
question Moreno has confederates in this
city to point out the line to be adopted
by the Washington tail of the CLIQUE, and
10 furnish hints which may by and by
be pieced together and made to appear
as If indeed there were some basis of fact
on which is being reared fabric of false.
hood.
We all know who were Moreno's CO.
adJutors and colleagues here while he
was still in the kingdom, and with this
knowledge if is not difficnlt to conjecture
who are his collaborators here now; in
deed the paragraph referring to the pos
slbillty OF revolution in the islands and
the alleged policy Of the Queen in pan
dering to the foreign population rather
than the native element, might have
been taken, almost as it stands, from the
local organ OF the Moreno clique.
AS to revolution, there is no conceiv-
able object for anything like revolution
unless it be that this little group of dis
appointed ones should strive to make a
disturbance for the sake of fulfilling their
own prophecies and in the hope that
they might pick up something for them
selves; but then they should remember
that this would be precisely that class of
quarrel in which, according to the old
proverb, honest men come by their own.
IN which case our agitators would come
by nothing at all.
One forecast in the dispatch referred
to may be held to be possible of realiza-
ton and that is that in the event of an
uprising it is probable "that the foreign
ships in the harbor will be called upon |
to land foreigners sufficient to maintain
order" If this ever come to pass it will |
be Hawaii that will have to pay the bill
for all expenses incurred and damage
done, and it is not in the least likely
that the instigators of the mischief will
find themselves either President of a
Hawaiian Republic or General of a Ha-
waiian Republican army.

HTLO NOTES.

From the Volcano, reports have been
received that the new hotel is complete,
with the exception of finishing touches
by the painters, and nearly ali the work
men have returned to Honolulu via Kau
or this port. The Hotel presents very
fine appearance, and some of the recent
visitors claim that it surpasses anything
of the kind in Honolulu or on the islands.
The contractor, Mr.. George Howard.
will return to Honolulu next week, either
by the Hall or the Claudine.
The sulphur steam has been brought
distance of over eight hundred feet in
wooden pipe into the bath-house adj
Joining the Hotel, and the steam is also
utilized in cooking and heating water.
When furnished with the new furni-
ture and billiard-tasle expected from San
Francisco, the Hotel will present as at
tractlve an appearance inside as it now
does outside.
The road to the volcano makes very
slow progress, and people here have lost
all hope of seeing it completed for many
months, perhaps years, to come.
But, worst of all, the lower section OF
lL1lO IOoSO, DCthCCti AAliO VIC Ian
way House, is being destroyed by the
wheels of heavy wagons loaded with
wood, which cut deep rnts in it, and, in
plaoes, liuye brolton down the retaining
wall. Ii this thing goes on much longer
the work OF reconstruction will cost as
much as the original work. There is
nobody to look after the road.
Ben Hogan lectured in the native
church during his stay here, and was
very abusive on Mr.. and Mrs. Judge
Lyman, because he was not allowed the
use of the foreign church, which, from
all accounts, was very properly closed to
him.
A repost comes from the Volcano
House t!..'t this same tourist saw fit,
while there. to disfgure the record-boo
with language which ought to be re-
moved from its pages by the manager,
or whoever has charge of the Hotel.
Some years ago, number of vandal
tourists took to cutting out illustrations
and accounts of visits to the crater,
which were not only interesting but very
valuable records OF the past, as seen by
the writer's. This was promptly stopped,
and the record book placed under lock
and key, which will have to be done
again probably.

Vandalism at the Volcano.

Mr.. EDITOR: Visitors to Kilauea the
past week have found that certain per-
son who has attracted some notoriety in
Honolulu lately, has had the bad taste
not to say impudence-to use the yarious
volumes of the Volcano register as a
means OF advertising himself and exhib-
iting morbid self-conceit that seems To
amount almost to disease. He has
pasted in as a frontispiece to the first
volume his unattractiVe portrait and the
printed abstract of a so-called sermon
that seems little less than blasphemous
In the other volumes vacant spaces are
used for the same portrait and the adver-
tlsement OF his occupation. It is ont
rageous Tor stranger to so disfigure the
register, but this is not the worst: on
the rocks below the fine new house. as
one passes into the crater, he has printed
his name (Which seems to be held in
great reverence by himself) in red paint
on the rocks, and fearing that possibly
some unlucky person might leave the
place without seeing this very distin-
guished name, he has painted it again
on board and nailed it to the fence.
Other names, presumably of the work
men, are also painted on the rocks. Fur
Their comment seems unnecessary.

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact thai
pure water is one of the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per.
feet comfort in household. The germ
of our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow working filters
in the United States.
