Engraving During the Second Century.

Engraving During the Second century
With the general decline of art at the
end of the First century Of the Christian
era gem engraving fell into disuse When
the Renaissance came it revived and was
applied by the rich to the establishment
of their costumes and military equipment,
as well as to the adornment Of vases, drink
ing cups and table ornaments. The great
number of precious stones required for
such purposes exhausted the supply and
the conch smell was brought into requisi-
ton for the purpose. Jewellers Weekly.

A Perpetual Motion Machine.

1t is generally known among engineers
that a novel motor is running at the patent
Office in Washington, and has been for
many years, and to some minds seems to
fulfill the conditions of perpetual motion.
The inventor made this claim, but it is
hardly correct. Perpetual motion is said
to exist in a machine that when once
started will continue to run until worn
out" This machine operates by the power
given out in the different expansion of
metals under varying conditions, and is so
small and carefully constructed that if
there was absolutely no change in temper
AZURE of the room it would run when once
started thirty EIGHT days before stopping
If it was possible to put it in some place for
this length of time, as the center of the
earth, where the temperature would be
constant, it would stop, so does not fulfill
the condition of perpetual motion; but that
cannot be done where the machine now is,
so it has run for a great many years with
out stopping, and probably will continue
to run until it wears out.-New York

is dead. He is now lying in state
In our nauka show window. He
was good fellow and we are sorry
he died. We might have pro-
longed his life, however, had we
known the true condition of his
liver. We discovered it after his
demise. Through the thin, trans
parent skin this organ could be
seen. 1t was in very unnatural
state. No wonder he was looking
for the New Drug Store. He was
on his way when the fisherman
captured him. Beecham's Pills
were what he wanted. He knew
we had received large quantity
by the last Australia" direct
from the manufacturers. These
pills are good for bilious and
nervous disorders, sick headache,
loss of appetite, and many other
ailments. Ours are of recent
manufacture and are sugar coated
which makes them pleasant to
take.

A correspondent, referring to
industrial matters in this kingdom,
makes the following terse remarks
on the general lack of provision for
doing our own work, intellectual
and otherwise, which all interested
in Hawaiian development and in
dependence, may read with profit:
Much is said of the agricultural
resources of the country, but there
are others of which little is said.
Some small manufacturing enter
prises are possible. Besides these,
much ought to be done in the way
of fitting the people to do their own
work. Why, the very institutions
of civilization are dependent, to an
unwarranted extent, upon con-
tinual supply of men and women
from abroad. Of course I refer to
the schools, chiefly. The teaching
force is recruited largely from those
unemployed in California. Every
new man is kind of a 'pig-in-a-
poke Is it not time to make a
very definite effort to fit the young
people of the land to take this
work in hand? There are nearly
four hundred teachers employed in
the kingdom. Would not normal
school be good investment? 1
believe it would increase the effici-
ency of the schools, while reducing
their cost. Besides, is it not a
time to make special efforts in the
line of general education? When
the Prussians were so Inundated
by the French under Napoleon,
they were exhorted by their king
to redouble their efforts in the way

S1,50O,OOO IN SALARIES.

The biennial appropriations for
salaries alone, including the civil
list, amount to more than mil
lion and a half of dollars. In
other words, half the total revenue
of the country is devoted to the
payment of salaries. The cost of
the mere machinery of govern
ment is enormous, and extrava-
gantly so. There must be Some
way of reducing the expense with
out impairing the efficiency of
government. To find this way, or
make it should be the first task
of the next Legislature when it
reaches the consideration of the
appropriation bill.
One place where a saving can
be effected right at the top is in
the cabinet itself. 1t is very
doubtful whether four ministers
are necessary to carry on the ex-
ecutive business of the country
All that is required is an execu-
tive head who shall be responsible
for the policy of the government
The chief clerks of each bureau
should be, and are, as a matter Of
fact, fully competent to carry on
the detail work Of their respective
departments. The Minister Of
Foreign Affairs is perfectly useless
and every dollar paid him is SC
much of the peoples money thrown
away. The same is true in a less
degree Of the Minister of Finance.
Responsibility for the financial
course of the government is GER
tainly matter of delicacy and
Importance, and a competent man
to bear the responsibility is un-
doubtedly indispensable. But il
may be questioned whether the
9 naf5tjGaHh ct sBg Se 9s6 an sites 5 @av
Attorney-General has plenty to do,
If he does it,-and we do not
know that any saving of moment
can be effected in his department
The law business of the Crown is
very great and it is important that
it should be well done.
Is it not possible that the execu-
tive business of the country can be
well done by two persons, or even
by one, who shall unite in his
single person the responsibility tc
the legislature and the people
which is now divided among the
four ministers? OF course, if such
an arrangement were made, thu
heads of bureaus would be entrust
ed with more responsibility thar
at present, and would perform
many routine duties which art
now unnecessarily reserved to tn,
Ministers.
AS a reduction in this singl,
branch of the public service would
effect saving of from $4,000 t
$4,000 per year, it is certainly
worth thinking about.

of general education. When the
French in their turn were so sew
erely handled by the Germans, Il
band of the most promising young
men in the country devoted them
selves to the cause of the education
of the people. Events have proved
the wisdom of this course in both
cases. Why not in ours?"

Who Commands the Military? P
A Dangerous Piece of Lesis-
IatiOn.

IatiOn.
Mr.. EDITOR: In attempting to
fix the responsibility for the now
famous sand bag act of last Sun
day night, the newspapers and the
public seem to have lost sight of
the person who is by law officially
responsible for the whole business,
namely, Governor A. S. Cleghorn.
When the last Legislature re-
stored the useless Office of gov
ernor, such Of the members as had
the grace to be ashamed of their
action attempted to apologize and
justify themselves by saying that
it was a perfectly harmless meas
ure, passed to satisfy native senti-
ment, and that, under the new
law, the governors had no pay and
no duties. In other words it was a
purely honorary Office.
An examination of the law itself
will show that any legislator
who honestly made the above
excuse must have been either
densely ignorant of the meaning Of
words, or culpably indifferent to
the provisions of the laws he
was voting for. Section 6 eff
said act read as follows:
"The Governors shall have COM
mand, under the Sovereign, Of the
military forces of their respective
islands. They shall have power to
nominate to the King, through the
Minister of the Interior, those
whom they wish to attach to their
military staff. They shall have
power TO declare martial law in
their respective islands, and to de-
wise measures to quell any insur-
rection or riot, and shall have
power to direct and control any
military force legally organized"
Here is an honorary office with
vengeance. No duties-oh no,
not at all. Only power to direct
and control the military forces,
devise measures to quell any in
surrection or riot, with unlimited
authority to declare martial law
His latter power is, by the Consti-
tuition, vested in the Sovereign,
presumably with the advice and
consent of the Cabinet, as provided
in Article 81 of that instrument.
But here is a statute which confers
qualification or limitation = what
ever. It does say "under the
Sovereign" or "with the approval
of the Cabinet" or anything of the
kind. Simply, They shall have
power" etc.
Martial law, so called, is really
no law at all, but simply the sus-
pension or abrogation of law, and
the substitution, for the time being,
of the will of the military COM
mander, which at the present time,
on the Island of Oahu, happens to
be A. S. Cleghorn. 1t is well that
the young gentlemen who are be-
ing urged to enroll themselves in
volunteer companies for the de-
tense of our incompetent and de-
moralized Government should I'M
derstand what they are under
taking, whose orders they are
putting themselves under, and
what kind of leadership they are
likely to have in case of any seri-
GUS trouble. CIVILIAN.
