around the tank of hot water. There
are one-inch tin tubes set in holes
through the floor &c, c, g.
The air coming in contact with the
tank becomes heated, therefore ex-
pands, and, becoming lighter, passes
ND and over the tank, finding egress
through the tin tubes into the chamber
occupied by the chicks, furnishing
them with pure, warm air. The tank
cannot be made hot enough to rob the
air of any perceptible amount of oxy-
gen.
The tank of water is heated by two
lamps Zig. 81. Ours have but one
lamp, but we find that it furnishes
hardly enough heat: therefore we sug-
gest two lamps, and more if the tank
be longer.
The lamp needs but little descrip-
ton. The tube Id is one inch in diam
eter and is set diagonally across the
depth of the tank to facilitate the cir
culation of the water. The flame
plays against the tube and heats the
water, which, being expanded, passes
out at the upper end of the tube. giving
place to cooler water coming in at the
lower end.
The chimney (e) is tin, as is also the
fue ~. The chimney fits over pro-
lection of the flue under the tank
The chimney should be made short
enough to let the flame barely touch
the tube.
The lamp occupies an apartment I'M
der the tank, the tank constituting the
top or cover of the lamp box. Our
lamp box is thirteen inches high,
hooked at the corners and has two
small doors at the side (back side), for
convenience in handling lamps This
lamp we use requires chimney whose
diameter is three inches. Now for the

President Cleveland o~erstepped the
bounds when he appointed a special,
or paramount, commissioner in the
person of Mr.. Blount. Opposition SEN
ators claim that the president had nc
right to clothe the Georgia gentleman
with diplomatic power without the
consent of the senate. Some go SO far
as to declare Blount's appointment a
violation of the Logan act, but this
view is not entertained by more con-
sentative members.
How many readers, by the way,
know what the Logan act is? George
Logan was a Pennsylvania gentleman,
who. IN June. 119S, went to France on
his own responsibility for the purpose
of averting war between France and
the United States. He persuaded the
French government to annul the en-
barge on American shipping and pre-
pared the way for negotiations that
ended in peace. On his return he was
denounced by the federalists, who
procured the passage of the so-called
Logan act, making it high INSIDE
meanor for an individual citizen to
take part in a controversy between
the United States and foreign power.
Logan indicated himself in a patri-
otto letter, dated January IL, 1879; and
was subsequently elected a United
States senator from Pennsylvania.
But while the people of the United
States are worrying over the partisan
features of the Hawaiian situation,
President Dole and his advisers are en-
gagged in drafting a constitution for
the republic of Hawaii. The white
citizens and many of the natives of
Honolulu and other commercial points
have come to the conclusion that the
formation of On independent republic
would solve all Of their difficulties
They know that such government, il
honestly administered, would be per-
fectly secure, as the United States
could not. and would not, let any Eu-
ropean power interfere with its affairs.
There is no doubt that the establish
ment of a stable government at Homo
lulu would be hailed with delight at
Washington, as it would end further
negotiations for annexation and con-
cessions- Should Hawaiian republic
be established Mr.. Dole would proba-
bly, be its president and Mr.. Thurston
its secretary of state.
