THE BEAGLE AND THE POLICE.

The Beagle episode has gwen
rise to a great deal of public criti-
cism on the conduct of officials
which we fear the interviews with
the Attorney-General and Marshal
published in this journal, Saturday,
will not tend to satisfy. These
officials have furnished that kind
of explanation which itself sadly
needs to be explained. 1t seems
superfous to say that the public is
not satisfied with the fimsy ex-
PLANTATION of the disappearance of
the photographs of Bloom and
Douglas.
The general impression, whether
correct or not, seems to be that the
Beagle yachtsmen were under the
especial protection of the police
authorities, who spread over their
defenseless heads the wings of a
sheltering providence. This would
be all very well if the Police De-
partment were in name as well as
fact a bureau for the protection of
prosecuted criminals. We do not,
of course, censure anyone for re-
specting the rights of accused per-
sons. On the contrary, we cheer
fully admit that the care taken to
prevent anyone from being arrested
without sufficient cause is above
all praise. In the middle ages ac-
cused persons were treated with
great harshness, thrown into prison
on very slight occasion, not al
lowed the benefit of counsel-not
even furnished with a copy of the
Indictment. What an agreeable
contrast to all this cruelty is pre-
sented by our considerate officials.
In how different spirit has Mar
shall Wilson acted, and those of his
subordiDates who were in the
"secret."
In the same way we are con-
strained to admire the extraordi-
nary caution which could carry the
photographs of the Beaglers TO
Waimea for "safe keeping" Only,
was this caution carried far enough
Ought not tie Marshal to have
shouldered the Office safe and car
ried it off also for 'fsafe" keeping
How could he know that these ex-
pert yachtsmen-who seem to have
had the run of the office-would
not go through it in his absence
Perhaps they knew the combina-
ton.
While, however, we praise with.
out stint the caution and the tender
consideration shown by our off,
cials, it must still be remembered
that these virtues ought to share
the field with others, and are moi
entitled to an absolute monopoly
After all, the object of the Police
Department is the punishment Of
the guilty. Not "the quality Of
mercy" but justice, is what is de-
manded from it. In this case there
almost seems to have been an exer.
else of the pardoning power by an.
| ticipation. Now, the pardonine
power belongs to the Queen and
cannot be delegated. The exercise
of the Royal prerogatives by q
Marshal of the Kingdom, no matter
what his other privileges may be
is something unknown to our laws
Il is very unfortunate that this
Beagle scandal should have arisen

During the past year Homo
lulu has been inflicted with oc-
casional visits from tramp
correspondents who fill that
portion of their anatomy usu-
ally allotted to brains with
ideas of the condition of affairs
here and then unburden them
selves in the columns of any
paper that will pay them at
so much per line. The visits
of these fellows are to be de-
plored, though, to the people
who live on peaceful Hawaii,
their writings SAVIOR of the re-
diculous.
A few weeks ago, according
to one of these tramps, We
were on the verge of a revo
luton. We like to be in time
for everything-it don't make
any difference whether its soup,
dessert or a fracas. If there's
going to be a revolution you'll
want fire arms. We've got
them now and particularly adj
|apted to such a revolution as
we are going to have. They're
called Cadet Rifles and shoot
blank cartridges. They are
used in the States by young
men learning to drill and that's
what most of the boys will do
with them here. They are
built light and shoot 81 cal.

ing and everything about them
is of the most modern pattern.
They have 6ayonets on them
the proper size to jab one of
those correspondents with.
Your boy will want one the
minute he sets eyes on them.
He'll find them just the thing
for firing Christmas salutes.
We've also received lot of
Sure-enough Fire Arms. New
style revolvers- hammerless
and all that sort of thing. Blue
and Nickel-plated barrels, as
you prefer. These are the
very best revolvers made.
So many of the followers of

Discovery of Natural Gas.


The first that was heard of natural gas
In the states was in the year 1915, when
it was found in Charlestown. Some six
years later, story is told of woman
going out one dark night to draw water
at place called Fredonia, in New York
state-when she put down her lantern,
much to her CONSERVATION a spring of
gas by the well took fire. In 1924, when
Lafayette passed through the same neigh
borhood, in honor of the occasion, Taylor
house, where he staid, was Illuminated
with the gas laid on by pipes direct from
the earth.
The great reservoirs of natural gas
were first tapped in the process of boring
artesian wells. AS soon as one of the
drills reached certain depth the whole
apparatus was blown high up into the
air, and the gas escaped by the vent with
n roar that could be heard from afar.
One American gentleman boring for
water met with this experience, and, hav-
ing no other use for the gas, stuck tall
pipe into the hole, applied light to the
top, when the fame shot upward, and
thus created beacon fire which illumi-
mated the country round for miles, Years
afterward this light was still burning,
and probably may be seen to this day.

"At tho ball last night" said man
talking to companion at his club din
ner, so girl with whom sat out enc Of
the dances told nae of rather curious
experience she had earlier in the evening.
She said she was in the hands of her
maid for the ball, was seated before her
dressing table having her hair done; the
room was warm and flooded with light;
her ball gown was in her sight. She
was reading during the process some
light society novel, and, as she rather
shamefacedly confessed, munching bon
bons between times.
'.Ail at once she grew tired of candies
and fiction, and, putting both aside, sat
looking in the glass while the maid
worked. She was thinking of the ball
and various anticipations she had con-
corning it, when, suddenly, without
warning, and from no apparent cause,
she found herself face to face with her
own death.
''She put it very graphically: 1T was
personal death l was struggling with
she said, not the abstract death that we
real of in the newspapers nor the future
longto-be-postponed mortality which we
more or less indifferently accept as one

of my life, the fms of everything for
me. and the going out from my home
and friends to the darkness and horror

well. She went to fetch glass of water,
and before she returned the vision, or

Aldrich on a similar subject, where,
while the carriage waits at the door for

lover is confronted in the same dismal
way, but she had never seen or heard of

very genuine and had made a consider

Why Soldiers Break Ranks

There are very few bridges in the
world over which troops are allowed to
march in regular step. In general, when
coming to bridge, particularly sus-
pension bridge, the drums or bands are
stopped, the array is broken and the SOL
diers pass over without keeping step, or
rather taking pains not to keep step.
The reason is found in the fact that a
very slight initial vibration. if continued,
is impaired to the whole structure, and
In short time becomes so strong a down
ward strain at every recurrence as speed
lily to endanger the safety of the strong
est bridge.
The same principle is illustrated in
some houses, which can be made to
tremble from roof to foundation by per-
sistently and regularly pressing with the
foot on loose board in one of the floors
A similar curious circumstance is seen
in the case of certain churches in which
1t is dangerous to play the heavy pedal
pipes of grand organ, for the reason
that the vibration becomes so great as to
shatter the panes of glass in the win
dows. and even to imperil the safety of
the roof.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
