Hawaii have caused serious embarrassment

Georgia to Honolulu us Special Commissioner
to make nm impartial Investigation OF the clrcum-
stances attending tile change of government and
Of all the conditions bearing upon the subject Of
the treaty and after thorough and exhaustive X-
animation Mr.. Blount submitted to me his report
showing beyond all question that the con-
stltutlonal government OF Hawaii had
our representative to that government, and
through the intimidation caused by the pres.
enCe OF an armed naval force OF the United
states, which was landed for that purpose at
the instance Of our minister, Upon the facts
developed It seemed to me the only honorable
undo the wrong That had been done by those
representing us and TO restore, at far as practi
cable, the status existing ut the time OF our
torcible Intervention, With view OF accom-
pltshing the result within the constitutional
limits Of executive power and recognizing all
our obligations and responsibilities grow
ing out OF any change nf conditions because
of the uujustihable interference, our pres
ent minister Mt Honolulu has received appro.
pirate instructions to that end. Thus far no In
formation OF the accomplishment of any def

dilionnl advices are soon expected. When re-
ceiVed they will promptly be sent to Congress-
together with all other information at hnnd,

Riding a Wheel Up HiII.

Now that several ingenious individu-
ais have invented a device for enabling
bicyclists 10 climb hill upon their ma
chimes the wonder is that it was not
done long ago. The thing seems very
simple after also simple that two or
three persons have actually hit upon the
idea about the same time. One young
man in New York sent his models to
Washington lately expecting to secure
patent. He was informed that only
month before a different person, entirely
unknown 10 him, had applied for pat
ent on precisely the same invention. The
idea was in the air apparently, for there
one of the young men getting it from
the other. Perhaps the same thing hap
pens oftencr than inventors imagine,
and lawsuits for patent infringements
are fought to the bitter end sometimes,
when neither inventor stole the others
idea. but it struck both brains about the
same time.
In mechanical parlance the hill climb
ing device consists of rag wheel or
sprocket wheel and chain. The wheel
has teeth which fit into links upon a
driving chain. The sprocket wheel is
attached To the diamond frame of the
bicycle. The driving chain with the
link sockets passes over it and back
around the axle of the rear bicycle
wheel. Motion is communicated from
the sHrocket wheel to the rear wheel of
the bicycle by the driving chain, and
thus the machine is pedaled up hill. On
level ground the chain is thrown off.
The device can only be used on the safe
ty bicycle. The drawback to its best
working is the mud and dust that inva-
riablv are thrown upon this part of BIZ
cycle.

A healthy person does not need an aft

1t is the universal habit of the pig that

his midday meal. The working horse,

midday but feed If corn-a small but
highly nutritious meal-does not sleep
at all after it. but is fresh and ready for
work in half an hour.
One would like to persuade all literary
workers to work in the day and to sleep
In the night. They should never go for
more than eight hours day. Early ris-

Best .Armor Plate.

Indian Head is point on the Mary
land shore of the Potomac river 20 miles
below Washington. 1t is there that, in
the past four years, the fact has been
demonstrated that the best armor plate
for naval vessels is made in the United
States, and not only that, but it is also
made most cheaply. The best armor
plate is now made of mixed nickel and
steel. tempered by the Harvey process.
In France the cost of nickeling the armor
plate is $40 ton. In the United States
it is $Il.2O Il ton.
Indian Head has witnessed some of
most remarkable armor plate and pro-
jectile tests in the world. At the first
great armor test plates from England
and France We're sent to compete with
with those made in the United States.
The United States armor came out vic
torious. Then two years ago there was
another tcSt-that time to decide wheth-
er the Harveyized nickel steel was bet
ter than steel made by any other proc
2sS. The result was a victory for the
Harvey method. The last trial, recently
completed. was to compare the work of
different american manufacturers of
armor plate. Once more the verdict is
that our armor plate is the best. Two
specimens of plate were subjected to the
force of tremendous shots, one II inch
plate. the other Il inch. They were
perforated by shot having a projectile
force enough TO move 81, 900 tons of mat
| ter one foot.
English and French experts witnessed
the trial and We're especially surprised
to find the temper of the metal so per
feet that the perforations made clean,
round hole. without crack or assure.

odd that the aid of blasts of air has not
been invoked long ago for mechanical
work TO much greater extent than has

moving the waste and culm from the
