Photographers have lately introduced a
pencil for use in retOuching negatives
which is rapidly revolved by small cleo
tro motor, SO that the point of the pencil
spins and is rubbed ON to any spot by
simply moving the point gently over in any
desired direction, thus doing away with the
necessity of the tiresome, confined motion
of the operators hand. A German idea in
this line which possesses merit consists in
fixing the negative of the photograph in a
frame, which is vibrated rapidly by an
electro magnetic apparatus, Mention is
made also of still later device of this
kind of English origin, in which the pencil
point is very rapidly vibrated through an
exceedingly small stroke by simple cleo
tro-magnetic contact breaker, so that the
pencil has only to be guided by the opera
tor, while the electromagnetic performs the
necessary rubbing at an exceeding rapid
rate-about 1000 strokes per minute.-New

ITALIAN BRlGANDS.

Their Relations with the People Are of n
Mos Friendly Character.
Ansuini, Tiburzi and FioravauUi are the
names Of the brigands actually in the eXer-
else of their calling. The last remains of Il
famous race, their names enjoy in Latum
and on the confines of Tuscany certain
renown and an uudenahle popularity. A
few years back they had numerous band
of associates Death and the galley have
by degrees reduced their number. Domen-
clio Tiburzi, the most formidable of the
three, was a cOwherd at Cellere.
In 1872, at % years of age, he had his first
differences with the lava highway rob.
berry, an extortion and a murder. Taken
and condemned to penal servitude for life,
in January, 1874, he escaped from the salt
mines of Corneto Tarquina. From then
until now he has remained at large, eluding
all efforts to capture him. The forest was
and is now his refuge, his kingdom. There
between Civta Necchia and Grosseto, in
the wide solitudes of the macchia, he has
lived for 20 years, defying the spies and the
rewards offered by the public authorities
TiburZi, strong in his refuge and in his ter
rible fame, which he takes good care every
now and then to renew, lives-permit the eX.
presson-as a man of honor. He does not
rob; he does not steal he does not harm
any one. He levies taxes after his own
fashion. The wealthy of the neighboring
districts pay him every month a fixed con
tributiOn-money, wine, bread, weapons
and tobacco. In recOmpense he guarantees
the safety both of their lives and of their
properly. In short, he acts as kind OF
public Ena-dian for them in the macchia.
The relations between the brigand and
the people are of a most friendly descrip-
ton. The poor, when destitute of food
come to Tburzi. He also gives them coin,
with which he is always well provided. Do
not imagine that such amicable relations
exist only with the poor and uneducated
country people.
1t is the rich land owners who pay most
willingly the tax which brings them an en-.
tire security for their rural property. But
woe to the spyl Sooner or later, be it from
afar or near, the terrible hand of the brigand
strikes him, and an atrocious vengeance
rouses the authorities and convinces the
unbelievers Of the existence of the legend,
airy brigand. In this way Tiburzi lives

EVERY CITIZENS DUTY.

The men who have stood 50 con-
stantly and bravely behind the new
political era established with the
Republic have not by any means
completed the work begun and
successfully carried out thus far.
In fact the point has only been
reached where the real response
bility and political work proper
actually begin. Every supporter
of the new order should, therefore,
make himself personally respon-
sible for the success of the future
This can be accomplished in great
measure by the careful carrying
out Of personal duties and political
details too often neglected or over
looked by voters. For instance,
it is the duty Of every man who
supports the republican form OF
government lately established to
enroll his name at once, net to-
m0yrO70, and become in fact, under
the new constitution, as we'll as in
name, an integral part of the body
polite.
This is desirable for several rea-
sons, but chiefly for the political
effect it will have in helping secure
full representation of the qualified
electors in the choice of Senators
and Representatives. The prompt
participation of the individual gives
the party better tone, extends its
field and influence and concentrates
its political power at the ballot box.
The duty of every citizen to regis
ter is by no means the least
although it is the first called for
under the Republic. Let every
supporter of good government fall
INTO the commendable habit of at
tending promptly at the outset to
the political duties be owes the state,
and the good results will soon be
made manifest both in the more
healthy condition of party politics
and in the more general application
and extention of the republican sys-
tenn of government in these. islands.
This desirable end will be largely
dependent upon the promptness
with which the citizens of the Re
public perform their present political
duties.

Notwithstanding the belief of Professor
Riley that St. John was just as likely to
have fed on the real locust as on the succu
lent seed vessels of Ceratonia slliqua this
particular tree will always be known as
st. Johns bread tree, says Mechan's
Monthly. 1t has been very successfully in
troduced into southern California and
southern Florida and is now getting in
good demand. 1t is known as the caroL
tree, which is the Arab name for the seed
pods, on account of their hornlike shape
They like IA rather dry climate. Two very
fine trees are said to be growing on Mount
Olivet, just above the garden of Gethsem.

leans to see among the collections of agri,
cultural articles from the south of Europe,
during the American centennial, how
much this tree was appreciated, as near
ly every collection had samples of varying
varieties in their lists. In the south o.
Europe it is generally the chief article fo1
feeding horses, cattle and swine as well
as the general article of food among the
poorer natives.

An interesting departure in engineering
is the introduction Of marine engines for
land service. One of the great electric
illuminating companies, it appears, has
adopted them in its work, and concerning
their economy i'll respect to space and
power it is reported that the land engine
takes up some ten times as much space AS a
marine engine, and the marine quadruple
expansion engine has ten times the heating
surface of the land engine. Further. the
new quadruplex two crank expansion en-.
CINE is twice as powerful as the triple ex.
pansion three crank engine occupies also
30 per cent less room and carries regularly
2lOpounds of steam. The land engine carries
only so or 80 pounds of steam and gets one
horsepower out of from to 10 pounds of
anthracite coal while the quadruple ex-
pansion marine engine develops one horse
power out of - pounds of Welsh coal
that Is, according to these data, the land
engine requires from two to four times as
much coal as the marine engine to produce
the same pOwer.-Age of Steel.

THE NEW RESPONSIBILITY

The Central Committee of the
American Union Party took pre-
liminary steps on Saturday evening
for the reorganization of the party
for the coming campaign. The
general outline Of the work will
follow, as far as practical, the polit-
ical usages of parties in the United
States. In other words, republican
methods will prevail with republi-
can ideas; and the policy of the
Government will be largely depend
ent upon the principles and de-
mands set forth in that party plat
form which has been endorsed by
vote of the electors.
This new phase of Hawaiian
politics will add a grave response
bility to the future duties of elect
ors, and especially 50 to the party
management. In each case a party
representing a majority will be very
largely responsible for the Govern
ment between elections; and the
party which has been successful at
the polls will, in practice, be held
responsible for the administration
of the laws, as we'll as for the gen
eral policy placed in the hands of
tine Executive and Advisory
Councils for application.
This being so the action
of the American Union party
should be very carefully CON
sidered and its platform and nomi-
nations made so as to reflect and
represent the entire country. This
means that strong, popular and
liberal platform must be adopted,
drawn in the interest, and largely
upon the reasonable demands of
the electors. The class and fac
tional distinctions SO largely OBJ
served in politics under the old
regime must be generally ignored

A missionary stationed at one of the
South Sea islands determined to give his
residence coat of whitewash. To obtain
this, in the absence of lime, coral was re
duced to powder by burning. The natives
watched the process of burning with inter
est, believing that the coral was being
cooked for them to eat. Next morning
they beheld the missionarys cottage gilt
tering in the rising sun white as snow
They danced they sang, they screamed
with joy. The whole island was in confu-
sion. Whitewash became the rage. Happy
was the cOquette who could enhance her
charms by daub of the white brush. Con-
tentions arose. One party urged their su-
perior rank; another obtained possession of
the brush, and valiantly held it against all
corners; a third tried to upset the tub to
obtain some of the cosmetic. To quiet the
hubbub more whitewash was made, and in
week not u hus. d domestic utensil, a war
club or a garment but was as white as
snow; not an inhabtant but had his skin
painted with grotesque figures; not a pig
that was not whrtened, and mothers might
be seen in every direction capering joyous
ly and yelling with delight in the contem-
plation of the superior beauty of their
whitewashed babes.-AIissionary Chron-
