KoHALA, (Hawaii), Feb. 14-For
the last two or three days the
weather has been cold and rainy.
About noon on Wednesday, the
18th inst, a shock of earthquake
was felt. Makai it felt like sud-
den blow. Mauka, the motion was
more tremulous. The wave trav-
eled from east to west.
During the past week two more
vessels loaded with sugar cleared
for the Coast-the J. G. Nerth from
Honoipo, the Eva from Mahukona.
The Eva brought cargo of gem
eral merchandise.
A few days ago a small sealing
schooner, the w. Morrill,, from
Victoria, B. c., for the Japan sea,
put in at Mahukona for five tons
of ballast. She carried sixteen
men. There is a general idea
abroad, that she unloaded cargo
of canned goods somewhere before
putting in here.
Miss Whittier, late principal,
and Miss Swasey, music instructor

hind her record of untiring en-
ergy as principal of the seminary.
Miss Lows dancing class of chill
dren give an exhibition ct the
Music Hall on Friday night of this
week, at the close Of q period of

Miss A. Wright arrived by last
steamer from the Colonies on a

It is understood that quite q
number of subscriptions to the
Carter memorial go forward by
this mail. Others will probably
follow.
A copy of Hilo petition has
been seen here, and it has been
suggested as a solution to their
troubles there, that the seat of
government for this island be re-
moved to Kohala, an honor that
the enterprise and intelligence of
the citizens of this district have
long merited. It is several hours
nearer to Honolulu, has a railway
and two ports of entry, not to men.
ton other advantages which the
eastern suburb lacks.
The schooner Queen has arrived
at Honoipo from San Francisco.
She takes cargo of sugar from
the former port and will probably
have speedy dispatch as the weather
is favorable.
There has been a good deal of
sickness in Kohala lately, one
symptom of which is stiffness of
the neck, though high fevers have
predominated.

The Military Commission devoted
the principal part of yesterday to Sc
cret sessions. The case Of Kaimimoku
was taken up in the morning and very
promptly disposed of in consequence
of the prisoner pleading guilty to the
charge of misprIsion OF treason pre-
ferred against him.
The prisoner did not care to make
q statement and Judge-Advocate
Robertson gave review of the case.

He said Kaimimoku went to Diamond
Head Sunday afternoon, January 9Th,
and returned about 2 o'clock. He saw
the arms and preparations that were
being made for the fight but said
nothing to the officials. The prisoner
was an industrious fellow, having a
stall in the fish market, but he was
unfortunately somewhat Of a revolu-
ZIONIST and had been connected with
the Wilcox revolt in 1889.
The prisoner admitted that the
statement OF the Judge-Advocate was
true and he had nothing to say in
defense.
AS there were no cases ready for
trial the Court was cleared and the
Commission devoted the remainder of
the day to private business.

MARvtLSor MODERN ASTRONOMY

The refracting telescope has gradually
increased in size since its discovery in the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
Even in recent years, when it has been
found that moderate-sized instruments
proved most efficient in some lines of OBJ
servation, its growth was unchecked, Tor
the great lenses, in their special domain
the dim depths of space-still held their
ground unrivaled. The career OF the re-
fector has been more spasmodic.
There is much difference Of opinion as
to the relative merits of the two lnstru-
ments.
As the large and the medium sized lens
has each its special function, in like man
ner the proclivitieS of the retractor ana
reflector lie in different directions. Which
has the wider scope in its pecuharlty OF
excellence is the question to be settled.
Equality, not identity" would well ex-
press the claims of the advocates of the
reflector, though this equality is not gen.
eralIv conceded. When it was found that
with increasing size in the retractlng lens
there came also an increase OF rainbow
hues that seriously interfered with deflnl-
ton a concave metal disk with reflective
surface came into use toward the middle
of the seventeenth century. This form of
telescope was called a reflector.
The rays of the heavenly body viewed,
instead of passing through, as In the case
of the lens, glanced back obliquely,
and meeting at central point some dis
tance in front of the concave speculum,
formed an inverted image. The distance
between the disk or speculum and the
image is known as the focal distance, and
It's length depends on the dian eter and
concavity of the speculum. Several
methods were devised for conveniently
image which was so awkwardly placed.
In the Gregorian and Cassegranian tele-
scopes it was reflected back toward the
speculum by means of a smaller mirror,
and then viewed through a small aperture
in the center of the speculum.
In the form of telescope devised by Sir
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-28

possible to combine the required stability
with equatorial motion in mounting a tele-
scope 6 feet in diameter and 55 feet in
length, and while it moved freely from
north to south the motion east and west
was restricted to about 10 deg. on each side
of the meridian. The fexure of these tele-
scopes is of different kind from that of
the more slender refractor.
1t affects the speculum or mirror, which,
under its own weight, says toward the
center, thus infusing the carefully ground
curvature and, of course, also the defni-
ton of the image. This tendency did not
seem to be fully recognized until recent
years and now many ingenious devices are
resorted to for its prevention.
Toward the middle of the present CEN
tury Mr.. Lasseli, wealthy merchant of
Liverpool, constructed two-foot reflector
of twenty feet focal length, with which he
discovered two of the satellites Of Uranus
and the satellite of Neptune. The famed
mirror is now in the Greenwich Observa-
tory, where its powers will have good
scope in the suitable dome provided for it.
Having done excellent work with it under
the clear skies of Malta, Mr.. Lasseli after
ward made four-foot reflector with which

Isaac Newton it was viewed, by means of a
mirror, through the side of the tube which
held the speculum at one end; and in the
Herschelian form was viewed from one
side of the open end of the tube. These
reflections back and forth account for the
unexpected positions OF an observer when
using rejecting telescope. The first re-
fector used by Herschel was but few
inches in diameter and two feet in focal
length.
With the forecast of genius he paid little
heed to intermediate sizes, and the possl-
bilities of a mirror more than five feet in
diameter captured his prophetic fancy. AS
mechanical skill was not then as ad
vanced as now he succeeded best in the
construction of those which were two,
three and four feet in diameter. The latter
was fiftv-three feet in focal length, and was
used chiefly in those observations that re-
quired light-gathering power. His most
famous discoveries were made with those
OF lesser aperture, and the tarnished mir
ror which first revealed that Uranus was
planet is preserved with its antiquated
tube among the relics of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society.
In 1888 Sir John Herschel, his son, took
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-28

used it sufficiently, but it proved an incen-
tive to greater attainments. He resolved
to construct, himself, a five-foot telescope,
fully convinced by his experience that the
reflector is the best instrument when
properly made and managed, and that
success would finally reward his labors.
His premises became his workshop, and
with tools, gas engine and all appliances
for the experiments required in the pro-
cess of construction, and above all with
unwearied patience, he toiled for years and
completed one silver-on-glass disk five feet
in diameter. However, it was not his
ideal, and he commenced another which he
completed about four years ago. 1t was one
of the first telescopes to obtain glimpse
of Jupiter's fifth satellite after its discovery
by Professor Barnard.
To procure. the best results he renews
the silver film every month. This is a
different spirit from the endurance year
after year of the blurred images in the old
speculums. That this enormous mirror
will surpass anything yet accomplished by
a reflector there is little doubt. Mr.. Com
mon is now one of the greatest authorities
on the subject of reflectors, and is of the
opinion that a mirror of eight or nine feet
in diameter is quite possible.
There are well-founded rumors that one
of the features of the Paris Exposition in
1900 will be reflector ten feet in diam
eter, thus outstripping all previous at
tempts. Sir Howard Grubb has taken
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-28

five years following the completion of
Lord Rosse's telescope the reflector again
took backward step as to size, it is not to
be inferred that the capabilities of the
leviathan of Birr Castle were disappoint-
ment. 1t fulfilled its mission, bringing
light and knowledge, and was the in
centive that led to the construction of
LasselPs large mirrors.
AS facts predominant in it's provisions,
the scientific world is rarely disappointed
The matter of expense and the increasing
facility in the manufacture of large lenses
combined in keeping the reflector from
advancing in size at that time. In 1870 a
four-foot reflector was constructed for the
observatory of Melbourne, Australia, and
with such valuable mirror the south
polar regions of the heavens will grad
ually reveal the faint dim objects so long
hidden in its unexplored spaces.
1t became badly tarnished some years
ago, bat with renovation it will yet have a
long career of discovery.
One of nearly equal size was added to
the equipment of the Paris Observatory in
1876. Unfortunately the fexure of the
large speculum injured the definition of
objects, and various methods had to be re-
sorted to for holding it in unchanged cur
vature.
M. Lewy of Paris Observatory devised a
form of telescope named the equatorial
conde, or elbow, as the eye end of the tube
is permanently directed toward the pole Of

THE NEW RAOETRAOK.

Cash Ready to Cover the Cost Of the
Stables and Grand Stand.
Call the stock of the Pacific Coast Jockey
Club has been taken," said Henry J.
Crocker yesterday, land we have now
about $4,000 on deposit ready to cover the
expenses of putting up the grand stand
and stables"
Contracts for the iron work for the IngIe-
side track and the big tim bers have already
been let, the Pacific Rolling-mills and
Pope & Talbot securing them respectively.
The club will probably meet tonight,
when the bids for the grand stand, cement
work for the stables and the asphaltum
work will be opened. Contractor Kelso
has about completed the grading of the
track.
Mr.. Crocker pointed out the advantage
yesterday which the Ingleside track will
possess over any other track in being close
to the steam railroad. This will enable
people, he explained, to return home from
the races speedily. and will also allow
horses to be taken there without the neces-
sity of being led through the streets.

the heavens, and the opposite end at right
angles to it can move east and west along
the celestial equator. At the Joint or elbow
is a rejecting mirror which conveys the
starbeam centrally to the eyepiece as salts
factorily as if the observer viewed it
directly.
As he also needs view north and south
of the celestial equator, another mirror
forming a constant angle of 45 degrees
with the objective and arranged to move
round in the desired position gives COM
mand of the entire armament. with the
exception of that section northward below
the pole star, which has to be left to the
exploration OF ordinary instruments. This
strange construction, which is about
twelve inches in diameter at the end hold
ing the objective has many advantages.
AS the observer can look downward at the
approved angle adopted by microsco pists,
he attains ease of position, which GER
tainly facilitates concentrated attention.
He also avoids change of position, as the
movable part OF the tube by aid of the
mirror can reflect all objects toward the
eve end. Thus his movements are no
longer subservient to those of the instru-
ment.
The expensive dome is dispensed with,
and a roof that can be set aside when the
instrument is in use takes its place, while
the eye end is permanently rooted. AT
first predictions were rife as to it's failure,
especially on the score of loss of light by
means of the double reflection; but it has
now been in use satisfactorily for twelve
wears, and the recent construction, also
under M. Lewy's guidance, of a 28-inch
equatorial conde is a vindication of its use
fulness. Perhaps the ingenious instru-
ment may eventually become an adjunct
of every observatory.
