sun AND EaRrH.

Conneotion Between Sun Spots and tho
AurorL Borealis.
Observers of the suns face have for
centuries noticed ut times dark spots on
1T, says John K. Rees, in Harpcr's
Young People. Now we know from the
accumulated observations that the cx-
tent and number. of these spots vary.
Sometimes we can see very few, or
even none at all, and sometimes we can
sec great many, some of which are
visible to the naked eye when protected
Syy ooioTed OF smoked glass. SiicI. a.
spotted region is now February 1S)
passing out of sight ON the southwestern
limb of the sun; but second group OF
spots is finely visible on the northern
hemisphere, stretching in long line
from the eastern edge to the center of
the sun. But what has the sun to do
with the auroraf Simply this: 1t has
been shown that when we have the
greatest number of sun spots, then we
have the most frequent and most eor-
geous displays of the aurora When
there is great storm on the sun pro.
ducinG spots, then we feel ut once on
our little earth disturbance of cleo
trical conditions. The display of the
aurora on February 13 is regarded us
an accompaniment OF the solar disturb
ances which have produced the tremen-
dous spotted regions mentioned.
The average time from, when the
spotted area on tue sun is greatest to
the next maximum is little, over
eleven years. The last spot maximum
occurred in 1881, a year or two behind
the average time, and we seem now to
be approaching maximum in 1923
We may therefore fairly conclude that
during this year we shall bc favored
with numerous and brilliant auroras.

PEARL HARB0r.

We publish this morning a valu-
able letter by Mr.. c. L. Garter, dis
cussing the issues in regard to
Pearl Harbor lately raised by Mr..
Theo. H. Davies. As a matter of
fact there seems to be no reason to
apprehend any of the disastrous
consequences which Mr.. Davies ex-
poets will follow, in case the United
States retains its present rights
in Pearl Harbor, or acquires any
new ones. The exclusive privilege
Of establishing a coaling station
does not involve any cession of ter
ritory, or any loss of jurisdiction
by the nation granting such right.
Pearl Harbor would, of course, re-
main neutral territory as much
under the Hawaiian flag as Homo
lulu itself, and as free from moles-
tation in case Of war.

NUM- ADULT WINE AND BEER.

A letter from Mr.. Peck, in criti-
cising the bill introduced by Noble
Marsden, calls attention to the fact
that the consumption of spirits was
only about $4,000 gallons III 1892.
The same correction had already
been made in these columns yes
terday. 1t is not necessary, how
ever, to place the consumption
above 10000 gallons in order to
prove that a vast deal of illicit
liquor selling is going on in the
country districts. AS to the pro-
portion of spirits consumed in
Honolulu and the outer districts,
we know of no statistics which
afford any light. 1t is, however,
obviously fallacious to infer from
the comparatively large num-
Der of arrests in Honolulu that
a correspondingly large proper
ton of liquor is imbibed here.
In the city a man gets drunk,
makes a disturbance and is
locked up. In the country he gets
drunk and gets sober again, and
| that is the end of If.
This bill will not introduce
drinking where it is not known
The drinking is already there. II
will substitute wine and light beer
for "sandpaper" gin and "chair
lightning" As such, it is tenn
perance measure, and its quality
should be tested in practice before
it is finally approved or condemned

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1892.

THE supply of water in the last
of the two reservoirs which furnish
the power to the Electric Light
Station gave out altogether last
night, about II o'clock, leaving
the city in darkness. This is a
very discouraging state of affairs,
and it bids fair to continue. No
appropriation has been made for
any increase in reservoir storage
above the station, and none will
be made, so that Honolulu is not
likely to have a reliable system OF
street lighting until steam is sub
stituted for water power.

Hawaii has a very valuable
property in Pearl Harbor, which
she should utilize in the manner
most profitable to herself. Consid-
erations of sentiment should not
enter into the transaction. 1t
should be treated practically, and
that use of the harbor made which
will bring the greatest advant-
ages. The national honor is
in no way involved. A sale or
lease Of privileges in return for
concessions Of great value is die
tated by our interest. While the
offer of such privileges should not
necessarily be confined to the Uni
ted States, it should be remembered
that the United States would be
our best and safest neighbor, and
those who are haunted with the
terror of annexation would do we'll
to bear in mind that the history of
the last fifty years is solid guar
antee against the possibility o.
aggression: At the same time, oul
commodity must not be cheapened
by limiting its market, and those
who have charge Of any negotia
tons should have an eye to thu
other competitors.

THE CUSTOM

OF placing val
uables under lock and key, dates back
to the time when the human race first
gathered together in towns and cities.
The strong box then, was made OF wood,
thought TO be the acme OF security for the
age.
In 1907 such Il chest kept the crown
Jewels of Scotland. No attempt seems to
have been made to construct tire-proof
Safe until about 1925. Then Yankee
produced an oaken chest of solid planks,
saturated with brine, and covered with
iron sheets. The key weighed pound.
About 1850 the filling between the outer
and inner lining with fre-proof compost
tons was adopted. Constant progress
has been made until to-day, the Halls
Safe stands the unconquered champion
of the age. If in doubt which is the best
Safe, ask some business man. But there
is no doubt about a Halls for they have
always stood the test. This is 10 idle
boast, but an undisputed fact.

reason to suppose that the rights
of Hawaii as q Sovereign State
would be trampled upon, merely
because she has not the power to
make her rights respected. The
world is no longer ruled merely by
force. The Hawaiian Kingdom has
held a place among the family of
nations for nearly fifty years, on
the footing Of perfect equality
which sovereignty necessarily i'm
plies, and the violations Of her
rights as an independent power
have not only been very few, but
the two or three cases of such vio-
lation came within the first years
of her life as q State, when the in
stitutions of government and civil
lied society were imperfectly or
ganized and regarded. The
United states mas not only always
shown the respect for Hawaiian
autonomy in which other pow
ers have been, on one or
two occasions, found wanting,
but her course. has been
distinguished by a very marked
and uniform friendliness. She il
great and powerful enough to pro
tect any rights in Pearl Harbol
which may be granted her, JUS
enough not to violate Hawaii
neutrality herself, and no less able
than willing to prevent its viola
ton by any one else.
