Agent for the Hawaiian Islands of
the Richards Lock Nut, which is an
ordinary hexagon nut constructed so
that it is impossible for the nut to
become loose or slack. and fall off the
bolt. 1t costs no more than the
ordinary cold pressed iron nut and
dispenses with the use of the locs
washers, keys and split pins. This
nut is now exclusively used on all
the principal railroads and street
cars lines in the United States
Samples and pamphlets furnished
on application to the undersigned.
Agent for the Siphon Water
Elevator, which is automatic. for
irrigation, city supply, farms, ETC.
This invention as it's name indicates
is based upon the principle of the
siphon known to the Ancients but
it is devised In such manner as to
greatly enlarge the field of applica-
ton. Used until today only for the
drawing off of liquids to lower level,
the siphon now becomes an
Automatic Water Elevator, which
under favorable conditions IS en-
lowed with great powers. In many
instances, land situated higher thar
the irrigation ditch can be irrigated
at nominal expense. The Siphon
Elevator is especially adapted fo-
such conditions, as it can elevate the
water from the main irrigation ditch
to higher one, while the waste is
| available for irrigating the lower
levels. The siphon elevators are
made of brass and iron in sizes
ranging in capacity Of from two
hundred TO three million gallons per
day.
- Estimates and plans furnish
ed for new machinery and repairs.

TO FIX COMPASS ERROR.

December Pilot Chart Points out FIRE.
quent Necessity TO Mariners.
The Pilot Chart OF the North Pacific
Ocean for December cites several in
stances OF remarkable changes in de-
viations of the compass.
Captain 4. Redman of the British
-. =. Nerano reports that q meteor
passed close TO his ship in latitude 10
deg. A min. N, longitude - deg. 80
min. W., on "A recent voyage from
Baltimore to Haryrs. a bearing OF
the North star taken soon after this
occurrence showed that the deviation
OF the compass on the course being
steered had changed from deg. 80
min. T.. Subsequently observations
indicated gradual change in the de-
Walton to its old position deg. 80
min. w. twenty-four hours after the
passage Of the meteorite.
On September %, 1894, the Morgan
line steamship FL Sol, Captain Quick,
an iron vessel with iron masts while
near the Dry Tortugus en- route from
New Orleans to New York had her
foremost struck by lightning. The
effect of the stroke upon the pilot
house compass ten feet abaft of the
foremost was to practically reverse its
magnetism, the north point becoming
the south and vice versa, while the
bridge compass ten feet further aft
showed a change of from four to eight
points. The ships compasses were
all readjusted on reaching New York
but the deviation changed consider
ably on the return voyage, showing
the effect OF the lightning stroke was
not permanent in its character.
While these are extreme cases they
nevertheless emphasize the necessity
of frequent observation to determine
compass error.

National Cane Shredder
,PATE>TED UNDER THE Laws 80
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John 4. Scott, Manager
Of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful.
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED.
DER. which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment OF the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 5000 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
1.-The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently erec-
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
3 per cent. to ) per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached: the average being IS
to rs per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction. having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

Scene at n Dutca kermess.

On the sec md day the crowd really
begins to swarm, aud By evening all the
avenues of the fair are jammed. The
gasoline lamps shed fiaring light over
the sea OF heads; the hurdy y-gurdies of
the different merry -go-rounds try to
drown one another; the managers of the
theatres, with their companies in tights
and spangles on the platforms beside
them, are bawling through speaking
trumpets descriptions of the wonderful
pieces about to be performed inside, &C.
clsioaally giving short sketches as allur-
ing samples; parties of young peasants
and their sweethearts "cdarge" through
the crowd This .'charge," which is
peculiarly Dutch, is accomplished by
from ten to twenty persons loc King arms,
with the weight forward, aud acting on
the principle of battering ram. 1t is
-ery effective, and will open a lane
through the densest throng. The
chargers sing cheerfulIy during the on
set, and the collisions are generally taken
as neat bits Of pleasantly. When the
chargers reach, or have created, a cOm-
parstively open space, they form a ring,
and jump up and down, shouting,
"Hustlel Hustlen' il time to the steps,
while the tempo is accelerated till the feet
give out and the breath is gone.

Prevalence OF Color Blindness.

1t is impossible to obtain the exact
Snowledge regarding the prevalence OF
Gu Or blindness. Bu. the figures gath
cred by the investigation of the British
Royal Society seem to show that there ex
lists among mankind a pretty uniform
rate of color blindness. Out of 50, ,O0C
men examined by three authorities of tn,
highest eminence nearly four per cent.
were found to be affected. Inyestigl-
tions among sailors in the navy aad
merchant marine, in many educational
establishments, such as Eaton and
Westminster, and in regiments such as
the Coldstream Guards, showed that the
same, if not somewhat higher. per.
centuge of disease prevailed. Two reg.
iments of Japanese infantry belongin, :,
to the Toxic garrison were examined,
with the result that sixty-eight out OF
1900 men were found to have weak OF
incomplete vision. II these figures are
correct there seems no reason to doubt
that the same proportion Of color blind
aess exists among sailors and employees
Of railroads, in whom the disease is, of
course, in the highest degree dangerous,

ways entirely free from spirit participa-

bathed in sweet revellings that stir the
emotions to forfiiveness and love for
all mankind, we may change the quota.
