Let us turn from the giants of the forest
to those plants which canonly be seen with
the higher powers of the microscope. The
smallest of these, and at the same time the
smallest of living things, are the plants
known as bacteria. They have average
diameter of ~, coo of an inch and length
one to ten times as great. Many of them
have a diameter of less than 10000 of an
inch, and it is probable that there are null
titudcs Of them SO small that the highest
powers of the microscope do not render
thsm visible.-Science.

that he would do" the Philadelphian in
one round, but Mccarthy was in excellent
shape when the fourth round ended, and
strong enough to fight a dozen or more
rounds, if necessary. Gibbons was wild

$50 to fight him one more round, but

A Largo Number of Foreign YES

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 17.-An i'm
portant otfshoot of the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands by the United
States is the large number of vessels
which may then be available fer t lie
American coasting trade. There are
known to be some thirty or forty large
vessels owned by the Americans, but
sailing under the Hawaiian colorS.
which may then run up the stars and
stripes and be entitled to all the prOtec-
ton and privileges OF the national flag.
At present. as the navigation law stands,
no vessel built in foreign yard can
hoist the American colors. and no YES
sci flying foreign color5 can he used in
the home country trade. There are a
pumOer of capitalists i'll this city who
have interests in the Hawaiian islands,
but who do not own vessels which they
employ between there and this coast.
Tney have found it cheaper to buy or
build a fast steamer Or ship in Europe
and bring it out here. where they put it
under the Hawaiian flag and nominally
in the name of som" II lwaiian agent.

Hawaii Feb. 5. Everybody is anXiously
awaiting news from the United States,
and the sentiment in favor of anneXa-
tion is reported as steadily growing. A
detachment OF sailors and marines from
the United States ship Boston is still
quartered on shore. The United States
war snip MOhcan was just entering the
harbor of Honolulu as the Belgic sailed.
but there was apparently no necessity
for any increase of the naval force, for
both the whites and natives seemed
content to await action by the Washing
ton government. EX-Queen LiliOukafani
is still in retirement III her private resi-
dence. The provisional government has
demonstrated its ability to cope with
the situation, and has in great meas
ura won over public confidence.
The steamer MonoWai arrived from
Sydney via Honolulu this morning.
She brings no later news than that
brought by. the Belgic, having started
bnt few hours after that steamer.
The Gazette of the 7th inst. says:
when the United States by its repre-
sentatives in this city assumed tempo
rary protectorate over HAWAII for the
purpose of securing the safety of life
and property there was general feel
ing of relief, even among those who do
not favor the provisional government.
This feeling has steadily increased, and
after the uncertainties and viciSSitudeS
of the past year the changed condition
is universally regarded as luxury. The
feeling referred to is but a foretaste of
what will be the case if this country
shall enjoy the permanent protection of
the American flag. The bare prospect
of it, coupled with the feeling of mo-
mentary stability. is improving business
and making real estate and other securi-
ties tirmer."
