parent to the Hawaiian throne telegraph
ed recently from London. Mr.. Thurs,on

10 England about the year 1889. At that
time she was not the heir to the throne,
and had no standing under the Constitu-
tion Of Hawaii Kalakaua was then
King. and the ex-Queen, Liliuakalani his
sister. was by law the heir. By Kala-
kaua's death she came TO the throne in
February, 1891. She then had power to
nominate her successor, subject TO the
ratification Of the House Of Mobiles, which
was done about March l, 1891. This was
the earliest date at which kaiulani had
any standing under the Constitution as
heir TO the throne. AS matter Of fact

board left the Philadelphia in the sound
and went over to ST. Philips Island for
the purpose OF experimenting with two
projectiles fired on the beach last week.
a service torpedo primer containing two
and half pounds Of dry gun cotton, was
inserted in the first shell fired on the
beach last week, and the projectile, hav-
ing been placed In a trench three feet
deep by foot long. the detonation Of the
full charge OF gun cotton was produced
by electricity. The sound from the ex-
plosion was not SO great as anticipated.
A column of black sand sprung 70 or 100
feet in the air. and was followed by
sharp report and vibratory shock. An in
spection showed that a circular excava-
ton feet deep and feet IN diameter had
been made In the beach. 4 lump OF the
black clay and sand was lifted bodily from
the excavation and deposited at some dis
tance on shore, 10 the southeast OF the
explosion while the beach was black for
one hundred yards with finely-powdered
black earth. The explosion was evidently
of the first order. In contrast with the
foregoing test. the second shell was given
a heavy Charge of wet gun cotton. primed
with two and half pounds of dry gun
cotton. and contained in edition Rapieff

TO determine whether or not the fulmi-
nate explosion In the fuse was sufficient

the same electric method adopted in the
former case. The explosion unquestion-
ably was not OF the first order. About half
