AN ESCAPE.

One of the japanese prisoners
confined at the Oahu Jail has
escaped and taken refuge on the
Naniwa. The man was convicted
of the murder of fellow japanese,
and he had sentence of twenty
one years to serve. The Hawaiian
Government made a prompt re-
quest that the man be given up,
but the request has not been COM
piled with. As there is no extra
dition treaty between this country
and Japan, doubtless the japanese
authorities are in no way bound to
comply with the request of this
Government for the return of the
prisoner. If the Naniwa were a
merchantmen, she would be under
Hawaiian jurisdiction, but the
case is different with vessels of
war, which carry their national
sovereignty with them. The Naniwa
is as it were a piece of japanese
territory, subject to japanese laws,
and merely temporarily set down
in Honolulu harbor.

MORE HEATHENISM.

The impression used to be gen.
eral in Honolulu that heathenism
in Hawaii was a thing of the past,
and that the natives, with the gen.
eral adoption of Christianity had
abandoned their ancient supersti-
tions.
Undoubtedly there was a time
when heather practices were to a
large extent suppressed and when
heather ideas were, if not dis
carded altogether, at least in
the background. They were
not dead, however, but sleep
ing merely, and only requir-
ed the word of a monarch, to
which Hawaiians always obedi-
emily respond, to bring them to life.
The word was whispered by the last
Kamehameha, spoken out loud by

AN IMPJACABLE BISHOP.

The Diocesan Magazine is a
purely religious publication-not
like the Christian Union in New
York, or our own Friend, partially
secular in its character. 1t is,
therefore, with some surprise, that
one finds half the March issue
given over to a rabid attack on the
Government, the Revolution, and
indeed upon almost everything
civilized, progressive and Christian
in sight. Those who are acquainted
with the career of the present head
of the Anglican Church in Hawaii
will find nothing unexpected in
his sentiments, but will be sur
prised only at the manner and oc-
casion of their expression.
In the spectacle of a Bishop
rushing with flying coat-tails into
politics there is of itself nothing to
criticise, except from an aesthetic
standpoint. We are earnest advo-
Gates of the right and duty of
Christians to interest themselves
actively in the work of reform
everywhere. But it should be to
aid the moral forces of the world
in their combat against evil, not to
ally himself with retrogression, des-
potism and heathenism that the
clergyman should climb down from
his pulpit, and the rule, we take it,
applies as well to Bishops as well
as to men of lesser degree.

INSANE IN THE PULPIT.
il Minister Loses His Mind and
Creates a Scene.

SUMNER, (Iowa), Feb. 27.-The
Rev. J. R. Sanford, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of this
city, became insane while preach
ing Sunday, and for a time pande-
monium reigned. For weeks Mr..
Sanford has been holding revival
meetings, has worked very hard
and gone without food and sleep
until his friends noticed that he
sometimes acted strangely and ap-
peared to be completely worn out.
At the Friday afternoon meeting
he talked harshly, almost fiercely,
to his people, so much so that much
talk was occasioned. Saturday
night he seemed utterly beside
himself.
Sunday morning he preached a
powerful sermon, closing with an
exhortation, and here his mind
gave way and for five minutes he
was a raving maniac. He swore,
threatened violence, smashed the
Bible over the pulpit, jumped upon
it, cursing and calling down the
wrath of God upon the congrega-
ton. The people were simply par
alyzed. Such a scene had never
before been heard of. A town Off
cial happened to come in just at
this time, went forward and took
hold of Mr., Sanford, spoke a few
words to him and reason returned.
He was taken home, but is in a
critical condition, physically and
mentally.

The actual contents of the article
in the Diocesan Magazine demand
very little attention. The Bishop
arrays himself for modern warfare
in the arms of the middle ages, and
his rusty panoply of outworn anal
ogy and Scripture text remind one
of the good knight Don Quixote
and his crazy Rosinante. 1t
is not with these weapons
that the battles of modern
politics are won. Medisvalism
is out of date in society, in politics,
in religion and in warfare, and the
mediavalist in modern controversy
simply courts destruction. We are
reluctantly compelled to conclude
that the man who argues that we
ought not to have resisted Liliuo-
kalani because the Christians OF
the second century did not resist
the Emperors of Rome, belongs in
the century whence he draws his
analogies. We want none of his
old bottles for our new wine.

AS a sample of the arguments
with which this article is garnish-
ed, we may cite the contention that
the revolution may put back the
cause of Christianity for fifty years
at least. The missionaries of China,
Japan and Madagascar will be per-
secuted. It appears even that the
inhabitants of Antananarivo -
wherever that may be = have
an eye cooked on Hawaii.

The magazine contends further
that it is a want of taste as well as
Christian charity to expose the vices
of monarchy. Possibly, But not
to do so is toadyism. 1t is truck
ling to worldly power, thing base
enough in anyone, but inexcusable
in religion, which should level all
ranks before the Almighty, The
Anglican Bishop quotes Scripture
as much and to as little pur-

his attention the following citation,

We have the highest respect for
the Anglican Church. 1t is an old
and honored establishment count
ing millions of adherents in various
quarters of the globe. 1t has a
beautiful and truly religious SER
vice, exerts, and has for centuries
exerted, a wide influence for good.
The army of its clergy has been
adorned with many men disting-
uished not alone by their piety, but
by their learning, eloquence, liber-
ality and genius. 1t is therefore
with the greater regret that we see
the head of the Anglican Church
in these islands compromise the
credit Of that body by making him
self champion of the forces which
initiate not alone against the in
terests of civil and political liberty,
stability and progress in Hawaii,
but against the cause of Christian
ity itself.

LANGUAGE OF THE FOREHEAD.

Descending to the analysis of single
critically at the writing in the forehead
writes John Lambert Payne in an
exhaustive article describing What is
Written in a Woman's Face" in the
September Ladies Home Journal. 1t is
not always an easy thing to measure by
the eye the actual width or heighth of
this portion of the head, because of the
volume of hair which often encroaches
toward the eyes; but il is fairly safe to
conclude that the size of forehead has
a direct relation 80 bra:n capac ity. This
is subject only to qualifications as to
intensity and activity which need not
now be considered. For all purposes
within the range of this sketch 1t may
be SAID that a high aud broad forehead
denotes intellectually, with an acute
nervous temperament although only too
often lack OF balance. A slightly slopiDg
forehead indicates availability Of talent
and whea the slope is caused by higher
pTeCeptlV6S lvlug over inc eyes /" may
also be taken as showing powers of Ike
observation. II the slops is found with
out this fullness over the eyes it may be
accepted as the evidence of weak reason
ing powers, for the forehead is uadoubt-
eddy the seat OF tins mental faculties.
Mirthful women, with fine sense of
the ridiculous, are usually marked by a
distinct prominence at what may be
called the upper corners of the forea cad.
Fullness in the centre partly covered by
the hair suggests good nature and
frieudliness while roundness between the
hair line and the centre of the head
plainly indicates aboundisg generosity
and sympathy. Most women have an
active appreciation of the artistic and
decorative, aud hence ii is that in most
faces is Geen = piumpness over the eye
brows. A noticeable development about
half an inch above the outer eud of the
eyebrows is characteristic OF pro-
nounceably musical persons.

WING POWER OF BIRDS.

NJ. de Lucy, French naturalist has
shown that the wing area OF flying
animals varies from about 40 square feet
per pound OF weight il the gnat and )
square feet in the swallow to half Il
square foot III the Austrian crane, which
weighs 81 pounds and yet flies well.
1t we were to adopt tie last or smallest
proportion, n man weighing ~ stone
would require pair OF wings each of
them IA feet long by 3 feet broad or
double the area of az ordinary room
door, to carry him, without taking into
account the weight of the wings thSm-
selves.
To pick out other aerial instances, it
may not be generally known that q
frigate bird can travel at the rate of one
hundred miles az hour by chronograph,
and live in the aI Il week at time, day
and night, without touching d roost;
that large and heavy birds can remain
almost motionless il the air for hours
without tapping their wings; that birds
can exert continuously about three times
the horse power per pound of weight
that mau can and about the same
amount more than horse can. The
energy given out by BIRDS is, in fact,
weight for weight, unparalleled in
nature. 1t is only to be expected that
some compensation would be exacted for
this higher mechanical efficiency, and
consequently we find that the bodies oi
birds are generally at higher temper

them are conspicuously voracious-qual-
tiles easily exempIified in ordinary steam
engine practice.
The flotative powers of birds were
also treated in an interesting manner.
It is generally believed that birds are
lighter, bulk for bulk, than other ami
mails. This is accounted for variously
by supposition that their bone cavities
are filled with air or that they have small
air saes under the skin. Such adgant-

THE USE OF COPPER AMONG THE
AMERICAN INDIANS.

The article by r. L. Packard in the
American antiquarian says that careful
investigation seem to show that at the
time of the discovery of America copper
was used by the North American Indians
only as precious metal and for orna
mental purposes, aud had not reached
the stage of industrial use, as it had
among the Aztecs of Mexico. There is,
moreover, no evidence to show that the
northern Indians had any knowledge of
ore working or smelling, and it is almost
certain that all the copper they possessed
was found in the metallic or native state.
There is nothing to show that they were
aware OF the existence of copper ore as a
source of metal. No remains of smell
ing places, OF Stag, or other Indications
of metallurgical operations have yet
been found. The quantity of copper
which the Indians possessed at the time
of the discovery, although the metal was
diffused over very wide territory, was
very small as compared with stone. THIS
is shown by the relatively small proper
ton of copper implements in the prInci
pal collections, as at the Smithsonian
Institution and others. The larger num-
bers are found in Wisconsin, and this is
accounted for by the fact that Wisconsin
is directly south of the Keweenaw dis
trict in Michigan, where the largest beds
of native copper occur. La these beds
the copper shows as such in the rock,
and the ancient miners had only to fol
Low down promising outcome showing
metal for few feet, and hammer away
the rock from the copper to secure the
latter. When they came upon large
mass they were compelled to abandon it
after hammering off projecting pieces,
because they had no tools for cutting it
up and removing it. Several instances
of this sort have been found. The
ancient mines were not real miGes, not
being underground workings, but merely

All these workings when examined con-

and some spear Or lance heads and other
articles of copper.

IN DEADLY PERIL.
Tenants Swarm From a Burning
Tenement in New York.

New YORK, Feb. Ga fire, caused by a
gas exDlOsl on in the cellar. destroyed the
double fve-stOry tenement house at 423
West Thirty-ninth street this afternoon.
The building was occupied by twenty fami-
lies. John Peterson. gas inspector, was
killed, aud sixteen inmates of the house
were feariully burned. One or two of them
may die.
Peterson had been sent into the cellar to
repair leaking pipes. He had been in the
cellar about twenty minutes when John
Waschmann, who occupied the first floor,
heard him groaning. Taking up candle,
he started toward the cellar, and as he
opened the door a sheet Of fame shot out
Then followed a laundering report. Wasch-
mann and his clerk. John Manning. were
thrown into the street, and Mclaughlin,
another employe, was hurled ten feet and
lay unconscious.
The big tenement shook with the force Of
the explosion. There were wild shrieks Of
terror from every floor, and screaming
women and children rushed to the windows
and fire escapes. Out of one hundred or
more persons who lived on upper floors few
can tell how they escaped. The firemen
who came on the first alarm found the
building abaZe and second and third
alarm was ordered. Scaling ladders were
placed against the sides of the building and
long extension ladders were raised TO the
roof, and down these the tenants swarmed.
The pecuniary loss is about $4,000.
