The officials OF the state depart nent scoff
at the story that ex-Queen Lilu ,kalani is
contemplating suit for damages against
the United States govern ment for having
oused her from her throne and having
taken her government from her. II is in
quired, very pertinently, where will she
bring suit There is 20 court to which she
has the privilege OF bringing suit. The only
means Of enforcing a decision would be 70

intention of seeking damages from the

SIGNALS FROM MOVING TRAINS.
An Automatic Electric System Which Has
Been Tested In Germany.

An Automatic Electric System Which Has
Been Tested In Germany.
The frequency Of railway accidents
during last year would appear to have
acted rs a stimulus TO inventors in the
field of railway signaling, for an unprec-
edented number of warning devices
have been patented within the last few
months. One of these, which is regard
ed IS specially worthy Of attention, has
been successfully tested on some Of the
military lines in Germany. The system
IS automatic and is actuated by electric
ity. The circuits are 50 contrived that
two trains travelling on the same metals,
whether In the same or opposite direc-
ton, are warned of each others position
by the ringing of bell on each lOcomo-
tive, while at the same time the two
drivers (engineers) are brought into tel
ephonic communication. The same thing
occurs if one Of the trains be stationary,
so that If there is any breakdown on the
line in front the driver receives notice.
The breaking away of a bar or cars
from the rear of a train IS also notified,
both TO the driver and TO the station
which the train has last passed through,
and the distances at which all these
warnings are given and received can be
varied in such manner as TO provide
either long or short blocks accord
ing to the requirements of the traffic.
In fact, the system seems TO have pro-
vided effectively against all ordinary
contingencies, andits employment should
greatly reduce the risks of railway tray
Ell The German government experts
speak highly of the apparatus in their
official report
Among other experiments train en-
tering u station was warned of an OBJ
stacle on the line; two locomotives ap-
preaching each other ON the same track
were warned; two trains proceeding in
the same direction, the second at great
er speed than the first, were enabled to
give each other automatic notice Of
their respective speed and position, and
a train which was entering Il station re-
ceived warning that points were in
wrong position. In every case notice
was given in ample time to prevent dan
ger and TO render collision impossible.

BuIingsEate Market.

The glory of Billingsgate is fading
away. 1t seems that owing to the heavy
corporation tolls the trade of Billings
gate is passing to Shadwell, where the
rents are only half those charged by the
corporation and there are no tolls. The
tolls of Billingsgate amount to about
SO, coo per annum. The rental charged
for stalls at Billingsgate used 10 be about
2 cents a foot; now they are 16 cents,
and the tenants complain of being crush
ed and driven out of the market. 1t is
said the corporation has spent $500, 600
ON u cellar under the market, which is
nothing but white elephant.-London

up to July 10th, that had continued
to rise and fall from to 10 feet day,
and constantly threw up fountains,
somewhat more actively than before
it's subsidence. The entire area of
subsistence il estimated to- be a little
less than eight acres, about one-half
of which fell into the lake.
While the breakdown was taking
place there We're many slight tremor-
of the banks, generally result ing in
the precipitate retreat of the observers
from the edge, but although the
danger was great the spectacle was 80
grand and fascinating that the party
returned again and again to watch IL.
At the Volcano House two slight
earthquakes We're fell on the after
noon of the 18th and one vigorous one
at A. NJ. on the 18th. During the
week several slight shocks were felt
in the town of Hilo, thirty miles
away, although none were felt at Olaa
half way between, nor at Kapapala,
fifteen miles in the opposite direction,
although the latter is place pecu-
liarly susceptible TO earthquakes.
This is believed to be the first break
down taking place in Kilauea IN the
presence of observers, those prior to
1868 being before the establishment of
the Volcano House, and those of 1865,
1856, aud 1891 and several minor ones,
ali having taken place at night when
no one was present.

tains upon the surface of the lake con-
tinued in action, precisely as though
nothing unusual was taking place.
Although the action upon the face OF
the subsiding area was so terrlhc, that
upon the portion between the falling
face and the outer line of fracture was
so gradual that an active man could
have stood OH almost any portion oil III
without injury. Enormous cracks 20
to 80 feet deep, and from D to lO feet
wide, opened in all directions upon us
surface, aud the subsistence was more
rapid in some spots than in others,
but in almost all cases the progress
of the action was gradual, although
the shattered and chaotic appearance
of the rocks made it look as though
nothing but a tremendous CONFUSION
could have brought il about.
Another noticeable incident was the
almost entire absence of sulphurOus
yapors, no difficulty in bre athing being
experienced directly to leeward OF the
lake
AT O'Clock p. M, when the party
left the lake, its profile was approx
matelv "a shown in figure 4.
AT 9 O'Clock the next morning the
lake was found to- have sunk some 20
feet more; the hanks at the right aud
left of the subsiding area, which hau
been the chief points of observation
the day before had disappeared into
the lake for distances varying from
% to 100 feet back from the former
edge, and the lower half of the debris
slope mad been swallowed up In the
lake, disclosing the original smooth
black wall of the lake beneath at a
considerable overhaDging angle, max
ing the profile of the lake approx
mately as in figure D. ;.
AT the level of the lake and half
filed by it was a great cavern extend
ing in a southeasterIy direction from
the lake The dimensions were APP
parentIy 10 feet across and 10 feet
from the surface of the lake to tn
roof of the cave. 1t could be seen

so feet. This may have been the
duct through which the lava had
been drained, although it manifestly
was not at the bottom of the lake, for

Coal Cutting Machinery.

British miners are just now disturbed
by the rumored intention of the Coal
masters association to introduce coal
cutting machinery ON large scale. The
men regard the scheme with great sus-
picion, fearing its effects will be to re-
duce wages and decrease the number of
men employed. They also prefer to use
their beloved pick, as their forefathers
used it, and work in the way they are
accustomed to, even though it be, as re-
formers say, a constrained and unnatural
method Inventors say that the British
coalmasters as well as the GOLFERS are
difficult TO convert in this matter. Coal
cutting machines are being sent to all
parts of the world, and the foreign de-
mand exceeds the ability to supply it,
but very few are in use in this country,
although they reduce the cost of getting
coal from l TO 3 shillings a ton COM
pared with the hand pick The latest
machines combine compressed air and
electrical principles, and each cuts one
yard per minute in medium hard coal.
