The Basis of the Dance.

Tho basis of tho dance, and therefore to great extent of tho lyric poetic and dra matic faculty, is closely bound up in like manner with the choice in pairing. The minuets of tho blackcock, the aerial antics of the peewit the meeting places and ball. rooms of so many grouse and other game birds, the strutting of the peacock, tho dis play of the argus pheasant, the coquetting of butterflies, the strange courtship of spidcrs-all these which are familiar to students of nature give us the raw mate rial of the rhythmic faculty.
 The Australian bower birds even con struct regular bowers, decked with feath- CTS and shells and bright colored berries to conduct their courtship in and theso bowers, dedicated to social gatherings, arc entirely distinct from the nests of the par ticular families. 1 need hardly point out how closely in many cases such antics re- semble the tribal dances and games of say ages, and they are always accompaniments of the pairing season. on.-Fortnightly Re- view.

PECULIAR EXPLOSIONS.

What the Influence of Sympathetic Musical
 Vibrations May Accomplish.
 Musicians arc well aware of the fact that if any note of the gamut be clearly sounded or sung within vibration range of any suitable musical instrument-say harp or piano-that tho string, whichever it may be, tuned to tho same note will begin to sound upon it's own account, or respond" as it is termed. If the singer then refrains from repeating the note he began with, but sings another one, the 'speaking' string instantly relapses into silence, while another responds to the new note. In the same way an organ pipe will respond, as indeed will a vase, a hol- low vessel with thin sides, or even an apartment, if tho particular note to which they are respectively tuned be first sounded.
 Now, it will be noticed by many that in constructing stores for the receptipusof ex- Dlosives it is very much tho fashion to build series of exactly tho same dimcn- sions and to place them, with almost mathematical accuracy, at equal distances apart. They arc filled with explosives One day an 'accident" explodes their con tents, and everybody is surprised when, despite the next building being much too lar OH, ' ana WlIn intervening WdllS 12 feet thick, " some or all the other stores blow up in duo scqucnc. What other re- suit could cnsueS
 All the buildings are identical in size and capacity. Hence the mote" sounded in the flrst--whother it bo one of triumph or of tragedy-fnds immediate response" in No 9, when, re-enforced by a second explosion, the next store cannot do other wise than follow tho example of the other two, and so the mischief spreads. It is important to bear in mind that we are now dealing with the influence of sympa- thetic musical vibrations only, not with the mechanical impulse of detonic tre nor or liar" For it is assumed in this case that the buildings are so far apart and otherwise protected that, if they arc inharmonic, the material in one can not be fired simply by detonating the con tents of another adjacent thereto.
 Tho foregoing proposition has it's origin in some experiments with iodide of nitro gen and illuminate of mercury in the course of which the writer found that small quantities of these sensitive cxplo- sivcs placed in sounding boxes" of pre- cisoly the same dimensions could Do ex ploded by tho detonation of ono Of them at greater distances from the detonator than, coeteris paribus, was possible in the open, or when in boxes (of other shapes) not relatively harmonic" to the dctonator box.

GOLDEN HOURS MAKE GOLDEN DAYS.

Everything has beauty in 1t In the world that round us Hes, Lifting up each waking minute, Giving joy to longing eyes That shall fill the hours with praise Golden hours make golden days. By us joys are ever flying.
 Let us make our hearts theie snarei Let us share the sweetness lying All about us everywhere! Let us walk in happy ways Golden hours make golden days. Troubles come, but they are f1eeting. Soon their shadows will go by As the clouds the sunlight meeting Pass and show the azure sky. Life is full of sunny rays Golden hours make golden days.

JUST TO THE NATIVES.

There is no truth and no justice
in the charge that the Provisional
Government is hostile TO Hawaiian
oticeholdrrs. and that it turns
them out, without regard to their
merits. in order to fill their places
with white men. On the contrary,
it is notorious that its friendliness
TO the Hawsiisns has brought Sc
we're criticism upon it from the rad
zeal wing OF the Annexation Party
The policy Of the Government
toward the native race, has been
one Of forbesrance, kindliness and
Cancellation from beginning to end.
At the same time it could not ig-
more notorious disloyslty in the
ranks of oficeholders, without in
justice to the men who had borne
arms N It's behalf, and whose ser
vices are certainly entitled to
recognition. No government in
the world could expect to neglect
claims so well founded and live.
The native Hawaiians are the
origina, occupants of the soil, and
they are entitled to the utmost con-
sid-ration which is consistent with
the ends OF the Government. 1t is
well TO remember this when We are
inclined TO Impotence. 1t is only
just to remember, too, that while
the virtues OF the natives are their
own, some Of their worst vices are
acquired while their confidence Is
abused no: so much by men OF
their own race as by foreigners.

tric.. There does not seem 10 be :
single difference Of principle OF
issue Of fact between the factions,
unless it be upon the question
whether there should be one club
to- the whole district, OF one for
each precinct. As We understand
the bylaws Of the American
Union party, they DO not recognize
the precinct st 81 SIS unit entitled
10 representation. but only the dis
irie.. This would not, however,
exclude the formation OF precinct
clubs in s large district, which
would not, however. Be entitled TO
separate representation.
The whole question is one Of
minor importance. snd it would be
absurd to allow the party TO split
upon so insubstsntisl s rock. Some
personal feeling hiss OF course en-
tered into this controversy, but it
should not control. We do rot be-
lieve il will. but sre confident that

NOT A GOOD BILL YET.

The bill amending the labor laws
regarding Chinese came up in the
Councils yesterday and led, as
usual. to 4 lively debate. As
usual. also, nothing was done. The
bill was re-committed, this time to
a new special committee who will
now do what they can to solve the
knotty problem and reconcile the
conflicting interests of Hawaii as a
producer, subject to economic laws,
with the interests of Hawaii as a
civilized community.
This is the third or fourth bill
which has been brought into the
Councils on this subject, and still
the right measure is conspicuous
by its absence. We predict that it
will continue to absent itself until
the Government can muster the
courage 10 be thorough and prepare
the ground, at least, for solution
OF the problem by passing uni
versal registration act
The law under consideration by
the Councils yesterday has its good
points, but the opposition which ii
aroused, both from the radical and
conservative sides of the Chamber,
shows plainly enough that it is s
bill which does not FILL the bill.
No legislation can prove satisfac,
tory unless it goes to the root of the
evil. Palliatives and lotions will
not cure.
Perhaps the whole matter should
be left 10 the first Legislature
assembling under the new Consti-
tuition.
