SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The engines of tirst-cluss man-of-
war cost nearly 500, 900.
There are now 1900 miles of cleo
trio railroads in this country.
Children, plants and animals grow
more rapidly during the night.
The largest coast light in the United
States can be seen twenty-eight miles
in clear weather.
Stag from blast furnaces is pulver-
lied and used for fertilizing farming
lands in Germany.
The use of furnaces to destroy a
city's garbage and refuse is growing in
favor. There are now ffty-fve mu-
inequalities in England where the sys.
TEN is used.
Professor Elihu Thompson says that
an umbrella with brass chains hanging
from the ends of the ribs makes a COM
plete protection when held over the
head during thunder storm.
Taking the earth as the center Of
the universe and the polar star as
the limit of our vision, the visible
universe embraces m aerial space with
diameter of420, 600, 900, 900 miles.
A new chemical element was discov-
cred during 1898. It was found in
some specimens of alum brought from
Egypt. 1t has been called Massrium,
from Masr, the Arabic name for Egypt.
It resembles beryllium in some of its
properties, and zinc in others.
Both eyes are necessary to perfect
vision. A man who has lost an eye
requires some time to adjust himself
to the new conditions. He finds it
very difficult, for instance, to form a
correct judgment of the distance of al
object, as well as its position, and
sometimes in attempting to pick up
small article, like pin, will make
mistake of three or four inches in it's
situation.
During the year some further ad-
vance was made in the production of
color photographs by L1pmann, who
has discovered that albunenized and
gelatinized plates soaked IN bichro-
mate of potash can be employed in pho
tographing colors, which appear after
immersion in water. The colors are
very brilliant, ana are produced by the
interference of microscopic and non
microscopic layers with variable re-
fractive indices.
Experiments in magnetizing and
concentrating the low grade soft, red
ores of some Southern districts are in
process, and said to be SO far promis-
ing of good results. The consulting
chemist of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad Company, operating up
on 3000pounds at time of the crude
ore which contained forty per cent.
Of iron and twenty-nine of silica, has
been able to secure fifty-seven per
celt. of iron and reduce silica ten per
cent.

"a FUSS" takes in the situation in q
flash, and bounds out of the smoke
filled room.
''Great God! The house is on fire I"
'Fire, fire, frel"
Somewhere a wire vibrates above
the city streets. A great bell tolls out
on the night. Clang, clang, clang !!
Rattle, rattle, rush! Streams ofsparks
in the wake of flying engines. Sharp
and clear the engine and patrol gongs
strike, in time with rattling hoofs and
wheels. Over all booms slowly and
solemnly, with pauses between the
strokes, the great bell.
All this time a dog was flying, with
feet scorched now by the heated floor,
from room to room, hunting for one
object. He finds him at last, in the
second story, coiled up in drunken
heap on the floor. He springs upon
him, tugs at his clothing, barks, whines
and tries to drag him toward th.J dooG.
At last the man awakes, stolidly, stu
pidly, then to a vague terror and alb
ject fright. He bounds to the door.
It is wall of flames. He reaches the
window; no thought of the creature
who saved him comes to the brute's
mind. He raises the sash and leaps
out It falls behind him. Jags is i'm
prisoned in tomb of fire.
The people have swarmed out, dirty,
dazed, half-dressed. The Gordon is
thrown out; the engines throb and
scream. The fremen work quietly,
streams of perspiration dripping be-
meath their helmets. Floods of water
glitter like liquid fire in the red flames.
The Old Mill is doomed.
'Is every one out" asks the Chief
brusquely, gazing up toward the tot
tering furnace.
AS if in answer there is 6 crash of
breaking glass at a second-story win.
dow and a living thing appears there,
pitiful, pleading, ablaze with little
tongues of flame. It whines implor.
ingly.
Big Andy has private reasons Of his
own for preferring to remain incog.
among swarm of policemen. But
now into the full blaze of light he
dashes forward.
''The dawg, the dawg that saved all
our lives! Git i'm, boys; git i'm out
Ny God! I hain't got no money,
boys, but look hyar! They's re-
ward of $500 out fer me! I'm Big
Andy, the safe-cracker. You know
me! I'll give myself up to anybody
that'll save that dBwg. [ mean it,
boys!"
There was good in Big Andy; he
was sobbing alor;d. For the credit Of
human nature be it said, no one ever
claimed that reward.
A quiet order through the Chiefs
trumpet, and stream of water from
the hose drove the crazy window in.
The dog sprang to the sill and tottered
weakly. A fireman ran lightly mp the
ladder and carried him down to the
cool earth. There he fell, bleeding
and scorched. He reused himself to
gaze longingly around, dragged his
mangled body to-where Blinks stood,
staring stupidity, and laid his head,
with faint moan, against his master s
feet.
"Speak to him - bawled Big Andy
furiously. 'Pet i'm, or I'll kill ye !"
Perhaps something human stirred
in the heart of the lower brute.
He stopped and laid a not ungentle
hand on the bleeding head,
''W'y, wy, Jags, ole felt"
But with a rapturous look of graft
tude from his one loving, beautiful
eye, the dog had gone. Where? If
there is no dog heaven, what will this
Creator do with the faithful, martyr
soul of Jags ?-The Voice.

1t is not likely that the COM
municatlons of the sly and clever
Secretary Of State who sent Mr..
John L. Stevens to Honolulu as
Minister of the United States, to
which some of Mr.. Stevens
dispatches on file at the State
Department seem to reply, were
ever made officially and put on
file where they might be brought
out by inquiry. Mr.. Blaine was
too smart for that, but as usual
he left traces that exposed the
general character of his designs.
There is little doubt that the
acquisition of Hawaii was a
feature of the brilliant lingo po-
licy which he desired to carry
out, and which he made such q
mess of wherever. it was tried.
and that it was fully understood
by Mr.. Stevens. He was probab-
" to be the instrument for
achieving a master stroke devised
by Blaine. and had an under
standing about it when be went
to Honolulu. The scheme is
altogether Blaine like. and the
method of its attempted execu-
ton was quite in his manner.
But, as in most of his schemes.
there was fatal defect of calcu-
lation that ignored all moral
forces and all sense of justice and
led to inevitable failure. The
trail of the serpent was over them
all -NeaC York Times.

Stevens the Prophet.

As long ago as November, 1892,
Minister Stevens wrote a letter set
ting forth the advantages OF the Ha-
waiian Islands to the United States
and the desirability of their acquisi-
ton by the country, in which he
said:
The time is near when we must
decide who shall hold these islands
as part of their national territory.
1t is not possible for them much
longer to remain alone. These
people and the United States will
soon be compelled by circumstances
and events to decide whether the
Hawaiian Islands will have unity,
liberty and autonomy with the
United States or become a colonial
possession of a European power.
What Webster, Clayton and Mayer
saw forty years ago, and Seward,
Fish and Blaine and the admins.
trations they represented clearly
perceived, may now we'll be consid-
cred by the American people.
The entire area of the islands is
about six thousand square miles
In addition to sugar, which is now
much the largest product. the soil
and climate are admirably adapted
to raising rice. bananas, oranges.
coffee, grapes a I'd other crops Well
governed and properly developed,
they are capable Of maintaining a
population of $4,000 to 10000.
There sre extensive ranches for the
raising Of sheep and cattle, so as to
be capable of supplying STEAMERS
and other vessels both'in peace and
war. The two harbors of Honolulu
and Pearl City. about SIX miles
apart, are entered by narrow chan
nels. are closely banked by noun :

Their ultimate possession by the
United States is of the utmost i'm
po-tance to American commerce in

Out Of His Own Mouth.

Ex-Minister Stevens state
ment about Hawaii, IS the most
conclusive statement yet made
by either side; but the eonclusi-
ons 1t strengthen are not his own
but those held by his critics,
that the Queens Government was
Overturned. not by her own sub
leets, but by the United States
troops. His first sentence is an
attempt to awaken prejudice, his.
second Is an appeal to it. His
criticisms of Blouut are trivial
IN the extreme. He didn't like
Biount's hotel keeper in Homo
lulu; be didn't like Blount blunt
manner upon meeting him; he
didn't like Blount's refusal to
receipt the offer of house which
Stevens made him; he didn't like
Blount's refusal to let Stevens
introduce certain friends. and he
did not like the fact that Blount
was not satisfied to let him, Ste
vens, select such documents as he
pie sed for examination. He
doesn't explain why he recogni-
zed the provisional government
and established a protectorate
before a skirmish had been fought
and before a single post guarded
by the Queen S troops had been
captuted or surrendered. He
eonvicts himself by his assertion
that the Queen destroyed her
own government by trying to pro-
mul gate a new constitution. Yet
for fifty hours thereafter, accord
ing to his own statement. during
which we are given to understand
there was no government. he
failed to land any troops to pres
erve order, as it was his business
to do if the government had been
destroyed. When he did land
them it was just in time to sup
port the provisional government, |
and he does not show that any
request whatever came for the |
troops from any quarter except |
from the revolutionists themselves |
He says he tried to secure anot- |
her hall for the troops before he |
took Arion Hall, but he does not |
state that this other hall was
Just adjoining Arion Hall, equal |
w far from American residents
whom his troops were landed to
defend. and equally commanding |
he Queens palace. So deter
mined was be to get the troops
into that location that when he
Jailed to get the first hall he per-
sisted in getting another one in
he same place.

A P. G. Pet.

The present temporary govern
ment has been very careful, we
presume in firing ont the wicked
royalists, and putting into Office
the most virtuous annexationists.
Evidently they all shook hands
with themselves when Mr.. w. 0.
Smith, the most learned Attorney
General, selected an ardent
annexationist for the office of
deputy-sheriff at Waialua Oahu.
that district which was Away
been the pride of Kikila al
though they wouldn't vote for
him-has been blessed by a full
1edged P. G. man who is deemed
qualified to represent the execu-
tiyes in that hard district.
Last night though the pet of the
awfully learned A. G. made an
investigation of the life in
Honolulu. 1t was too red for
his eye sight, and he landed in
the cooler on charge of drunk
and disorderly. Either Billy"
Smith should select his officials
with more care or he should alter
the laws to suit or be should in
struct the police to leave his pets
alone, They amt Guinea hens,
