last marked the first anniversary
of the dethronement of the mort

the festival passed off without a

hon. WM. u. IRWIN, Honolulu, ii. |.
DEAR SIR:-ln reply TO yours of the
10th inst regarding the National Cane
I'm edd.-r furnished by the UNIVERSAL
Mill Co of New York, and erected by
the hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg 10 say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, anu it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | arr
that put it in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the Intervention Of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
! great deal of strain, thus reducing the
| liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four (4) men daily
| on the mill, as only one man Is required
! to regulate the amount of cane delivered
| by the carrier to the shredder. It has
! increased the extraction from 4 to
/ 5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as iJ was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
err. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
| more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of ii,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the tiremen
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have call from
parties interested, as it is necessary tc
see the machine at work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities.

HEAT OF THE HUMAN BODY.
The Variations of the Temperature Are
Influenced by Food and Exercise.

The Variations of the Temperature Are
Influenced by Food and Exercise.
Owing to the common use nowadays
of the clinical thermometer, most per-
sons are aware that the normal tenn
peratures of the human body is about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is, however,
subject to important daily fluctua tions,
which have to be considered in esti-
mating any decided alterations, SAYS
the Fortnightly Review. 1t is suf1i-
cient here to notice that the human
temperature falls to its lowest about
one or two o'clock n. M, while the
maximum daily temperature occurs
some time in the afternoon. These
variations are influenced by food, but
as they occur in fasting persons they
are not altogether dependent upon the
supply of nourishment. Exercise has
decided effect in raising the temper
ature, fact of which every one is con-
scious. The application of cold, as by
cold bath, lowers the temperature of
the skin, but raises temporarily that
of the internal organs, as it causes an
increased volume of blood to be forced
into them. In hot countries the bodily
temperature is raised-at all events, in
newcomers.
Perhaps the most wonderful phenom-
enon connected. with the bodily tenn
perature is the preservation of its gem
eral level under all external circum-
stances of heat and cold. This power
seems to exist in man in a higher
amount than in most other animals,
since ne cannot only support but enjoy
life under extremes which would be
fatal to many. The accounts of de-
grees of cold frequently sustained by
arctic voyagers are almost incredible.
We read of temperatures so, 90 and
even 1O2 degrees below the freezing
point. On the other hand, in the trop-
les the temperature often rises through
large portion of the year to 11O de-
grees, or even higher, and we know
that workmen can remain in furnaces
at temperature of 500 degrees or
more without Inconvenience. In all.
these cases the air must be dry and
still; similar extremes of heat or of
cold, accompanied by moisture, would
prove in tOlerahle

A RICE ELEVATOR.
New Orleans Claims the FIRST One Ever
Erected in the World.

New Orleans Claims the FIRST One Ever
Erected in the World.
What the New Orleans papers call
the first rice elevator in the world''
has just been erected in that city. says
the Seattle Telegraph. The '.plant''
consists of an elevator tower, into
which the grain is directed through a
movable chute from the loaded rail
road cars and from which it is trans,
ferred by machinery to the bins and
barrels of the warehouse, the latter be-
ing connected with the elevator tower
by covered bridge. The rice. on reach
ing the summit of the tower, is spilled
out on a rubber belt some sixty feet in
length, running at high rate of speed
between rollers inclined at an angie of
sixty degrees. These rollers are To-
Gated at intervals of eight feet and
serve to keep the rubber belt curved in
such manner that the rice is mot
spilled while in transit. This belt
terminates just within the wall of the
warehouse, where the grain is received
in a hopper. At the bottom of this
hopper is an aperture opened by trap
door, through which the rice is spilled
on to screw conveyor traversing the
length of. the second story of the ware
house and passing over series of bins
designed to receive the grain. BY
delicate arrangement of scales and
weights the rice is weighed while, in
the hopper. AT regular intervals rub
Der belts similar to the one running
from the elevator tower receive the
rice from the screw and carry it across
the bins. An ingenious contrivance
causes it to be dropped into the recep-
tacle when that receptacle is reached.
single man can operate this apparatus
and thus control the movement of each
class of rice, till it is finally deposited
in its appropriate bin. Its travels are
by no means terminated at this point
Six screw conveyors traverse the ceiling
of lower story Opening the trap
doors in the bottom of the bins on the
story above! the rice enters the spirals
of these machines and is borne across
the building and reeeived upon another
rubber belt. This leads directly to the
milling department, where the husks
are stripped off and the grain pre-
pared for the market. The capacity of
the elevator is. estimated at about
eight hundred barrels per hour, which
is equivalent to twenty four hundred
bushels, or four loaded cars. The
warehouse can accommodate ninety
thousand bushels of grain.

BEAR AND SERPENT.
A Strange Battle Witnessed in an indian
jungle.

"A strange battie Witnessed in an indian
Jungle.
Some clenchers were setting their
nets for game in an Indian jungle
when their attention was attracted by
hideous noises-roars of pain and rage,
and a prolonged kissing, like lie es-
cape of steam from an engine. They
fastened TO the spot-or toward it, as
seems most likely-and beheld what
the Madras Mail describes as a s:Ho-
meric conflict" A jungle bear was
fighting for his life with q colossal SER
pent Probably the serpent had been
summing itself in the game track when
the bear came along, and as neither
animal would yield the path to the
other, contest became inevitable.
What the cIenchers saw is thus de-
scribed:
The serpent wound its enormous
folds around the bear; the bear dashed
from side to side and rolled on the
grodnd in its frenzied attempts to get
free, roaring angrily all the while and
swapping its jaws like .castanets at the
serpent's folds. 1t could not reach
them, however, on account of the way
in which they were frightened around
the bears quivering body.
Thus engaged, the combatants
swayed to the brow of hill, down
which the bear cast himself with We
locity that plainly disconnected the
serpent, for it unwound two or three
of its folds and threw its tail around a
tree, hoping so to anchor the bear. The
maneuver resulted in its own ,undoing,
in more ways than one.
The rigid, outstretched line of tail
gave the bear a chance to seize its as
sailant, a chance which up to this time
had not been afforded. The bear was
quick to seize its opportunity, and
fastened its jaws in the snakes quiver-
ing flesh. The kissing was now fright
full, as the snake rapidly unwound it
self and struck savagely at the bears
jaws.
By way of response the bear roared
furiously, dashing from side to side,
and worrying the mouthful of serpent
in its jaws in paroXysms of rage and
pain. Once more the serpent wound
itself about the bear, the bear howled
and gasped, and both, still struggling,
rolled out of view into the high grass
of the forest.
Their track was marked with pools
of blood; and when they were again
seen they had parted. The snake was
coiled in an attitude of defense, with |
its head erect, and hissed apprehen-
sively. 1t had had enough, and wished
only to be left alone.
Not so the bear. Though almost |
crushed to death, it would not retire
from the combat. After a moments
pause it rushed upon the serpent, sized
it by the head and dragged it about
with roars of triumph.
The undergrowth was beaten fat by
the convulsive strokes OF the great ser
pent's tail as the bear crushed its head.
to pieces, and finally it lay dead
beneath the assaults of its vindictive
enemy.

TUESDAY, APR 8, 1894
VOORHEES, CLAPTRAP.

The tariff debate has begun in The
senate. In his opening speech Senator
VOORHEES, makes use of two arguments al
least which anyone can see are fallacious
Referring to the wool schedule he said
If the farmer should get an increased
price for his wool by reason of a tariff
for it's protection. he will pay it all out
and much more, to the manufacturer as
duty on wooden goods when he next
ouys q flannel shirt, an overcoat or a
pair of trousers.
The farmer of Oregon who raises sheep
has all the way from 500 to $4,000 head.
How can Mr.. Voorhees, seriously assert
that the difference between free and pro-
Gected wool, amounting to hundreds or
thousands of dollars, will be paid out by
the farmer in the higher cost of a suit of
clothes or an overcoat? AS a matter of
fact farmers wear cotton all the year
round, except possibly on gala days,
when the "town" suit is brought care
fully out from its place in the closet and
busted. The suit may possibly have
cost SIS dollars and lasts for years. 1t
rs an insult to the farmers intelligence
to try to reconcile him to cents pound
for wool by this kind of buncombe.
Mr. Voorhees, also complains of the
bounty to sugar producers. and says if it
is not repealed it will confer as a mere
gratuity more than $4,000, 900 per year
on small fraction of our population en-
gagged in no public service, but in their
own private enterprises This is true
enough, but it is not contem plated that
the law is to be in force more than a
year or two. 1t is designed to repeal it.
The beneficence of the bounty on sugar
law does not consist upon it being on
the statute books for an indefinite time.
For hundreds of years the American
people have been paying two or three
times as much for sugar as they should,
because 1T has been transported from
foreign shores. We consume more sugar
per capita than any other nation, and
TO stop this perpetual drain upon the
pockets OF the American workingman,
and the immense amount of gold leaving
us yearly to pay for it, the govern
ment offers inducements for the Ameri-
can farmers to raise sugar beets and |
sugar cane in favored localities, to the |
end that this important product may be |
produced within our own boundaries
and to furnish'it it to all consumers at a |
half or third what they have been pay
ing. The largely increased payments of
bounty only attest to the success of the
law, and the republican party may be
relied upon to lepeal the bounty when it |
rs time to do So When thew do 90 |
pounds of sugar may be bought for a
dollar, and it will not be China sugar
either.

small, gr aceful craft, went down to
Baracoa, Gibara and other ports, load
ed with anything which would pay
freight rate; and usuallyin about a
month or five weeks they would come
backs with holds full of bananas or
oranges or pineapples With the de-
lays incident to all sailing craft, it was
no uncommon circ umstance for them
to land their perishable cargoes in a
more or less damaged condition, and
wind and weather permitting was a
qualification to an agreement respect
ing delivery. While the passing of the
schooner may be regretted, it is a fact
that the service is greatly improved,
and the business has increased enor-
mously; and this state of affairs would
be an unmixed blessing were it not
that foreign capital and labor have
reaped large part of the reward The
little steamers are run at small ex-
|
wages on which American seamen
could not support their families. They
will make round trip in fifteen or
eighteen days, and deliver thu cir car

picked much ripper than before, as it is
reasonably sure that it will be deliv-.
cred in New York in a week; and as it
is landed direct into the cars on floats
alongside the steamer, it is for sale in
inland cities in less than half the time
formerly required to reach port.
The quickness with which one of
these steamers will get out of port
after arriving here is constant sur
prise! 1t is not an uncommon occur
renee when the ''rush'' season is on for
one to come sneaking up New York
bay with the first sign of daylight and
warp in at her pier. Off come the
matches and the top layer of hay is
pitched out; this has prevented the
fruit from being bruised by the pitch
ing and rolling of the steamer. The
handlers begin their work of lifting
out the fruit. Meanwhile, the captain
has had his breakfast. He goes ashore,
the vessels manifest is entered and
she is cleared for her return. Con-
signees come to the pier for their share
going lout on one side coal is coming
in on the other, and by the time the
hold is empty the bunkers are full. A
stray scorpion or tarantula may linger
around, but no attention is paid to it.
The water tanks are filed, the same
crew signs over again and by three
o'clock in the afternoon the sharp
steel nose of the alien craft is cutting
through the waters of the bay, bound
for Cuba and more bananas. Italian
venders, British shipbuilders and Nor
wegian. owners and Spanish growers |
make good livings, and, in many cases,
snug fortunes; and the ambitious |
Yankee, neglecting the day of little
things, lets them do so, and is appar-
emily content with the cheap fruit, |
while South street is fringed with |
idle sailormen.
