MACHINE-MADE SPEECHES.
Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidity by a
 Recent English Invention.

Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidity by a
 Recent English Invention.
 There is no doubt that both the tvpe- writing machine and the phonograph are very ingenious and useful inven- tions, but the chief difficulty with them, says the New York Times. is that they cannot be made to act auto matically. It is in order to fill this want that distinguished inventor, whose name is for the present with held, has invented an automatic writer, and, judging from the private exhibi- tion of the machine which was recently given in London to a committee of members of the Royal society, it bids fair to prove the greatest invention of this or any age.
 In appearance the machine is said to be not wholly unlike a typewritlng machine. It, however, is provided with sort of hopper, in which are placed blocks of type metal, each one of which is provided with complete word, in stead of single letter. When this hopper is filled and the small electric engine which furnishes the motive power of the machine is set in action it instantly begins to print. Of course. what is printed depends in good de- gree upon the selection of words which are placed in the hopper, but it is un- derstood the machine can be used for almost uny sort of composition.
 At the exhibition already mentioned the hopper was filled with a supply of words relating to the English political situation, and in ten minutes after the engine had been started the machine had sprinted two.full columns, each of about the length of an ordinary col- umn of newspaper. When these were read they were instantly recognized to be speech on home rule in the general style of Mr. Gladstone. The hopper was next filled with a choice selection of the very finest words in the Ian guage, and the machine thereupon printed what was at once perceived tc be an essay after the manner of Mr. Ruskin on political economy. More words were added and three pages of what any critic would have unhesi- tatingly accepted as a passage from new novel by Mir. Meredith delighted the committee. The last experiment was made with the hopper filled with words taken from the Slang Diction- ary and the result was a story in dia- lect which was held to be superior to almost any dialect story hitherto pub lished.

A FOREIGN INDUSTRY.
We Use Millions of Split Steel Rings, But
 Don't Make Any.


 Don't Make Any.
 I've handled and sold forty thou. sand gross of split key rings since 1867, said the little man in an over- coat and white sweater, ''and not one of them was of American make"
 "Why, how IS that?' asked a New York Sun reporter.
 Because there are none made in this country" replied the little man. with smile that lifted one corner of his gray mustache. ''No, sir" he con- tinued, the making of split steel rings is an art that we haven't got hold of Q yet, somehow, and I must say I often wonder at it.''
 Where are they made, then?"
 "The best, sir, are made about fifty seven miles outside of Paris, at little manufacturing town whose name I can't just now recall. The next best rings are made in Sheffield. England, while rings of inferior quality, made from Swedish iron, are manufactured in Alsace. 1 don't know that the steel in the French rings is any better than that used by the Sheffield manufac- turers, but the Frenchmen in this, as in so many things, have got the hang of making their things look we'll The Sheffield rings are polished with oil and emery, and that gives them dull steely look, while the French rings are polished by the dry process, with what they call 'crocus powder a sort of coarse rouge"
 What are the extremes in size of split rings?' the man was asked.
 ''The smallest that I ever handled" he replied, ''were three-sixteenths of an inch across. They are gilded when they reach this country and are used in cheap jewelry. The largest key rings 1 ever sold were two and a half inches in diameter, and those sold to the wardens at Sing Sing. In fact, they are called pri~on rings. That key ring with the two little knobs or bosses through which you slip the key, is also French manufacture, and indeed I have never seen an American key ring except that clumsy little thing where you have to move around a small round double plate with a notch in it, and | then spring out the open end of the ring through this notch. must say" con cluded the little man, musingly, q often wonder why we don't make rings over here. Even now there's a forty-fve per cent. duty on them, and they could be sold at half their present | price and still bring good profit. Why, just think, sell over one hun dred and fifty thousand rings year, and there must be millions of them handled every year in this country"

What Good Roads Mean.

Bicycling undoubtedly is doing more toward the construction of good roads in this country than all other influences combined. Good roads mean comfort and delight to bicyclers, increased value to rural property through the readier and more enjoyable means ot communication, and increased value to the assessed property of state, be- cause farmers can haul farther to mar ket at minimum cost.-J. M. Batch elor, New York City.

Serious Accident.

This morning between eight ana
nine o'clock, a serious accident oc'
Cured at the Electric Power build
ing. A contract had been lot I"
Peter High to add second story TO
the makai half OF the building and
to put in the foundations for the
new engine for the cold storage
business. In order TO carry out the
specifications Mr.. High had to re-.
move the galvanized iron roof and
take down the upper part OF the
front Of the building originally des-
tined for sign carrying. He also
had to excavate a portion OF the
floor and lay the same with stone
and cement to bear the weight OF
the engine. For the former pur
pose he put up temporary staging
resting the middle pillar OF it on q
three inch plank. To day the stag
ing gave way-oue OF its supports
splintering into mat atch-wood. Whe
Their this was due to the necessary
excavation being too close to the
pillar or tn the fact that the bricks
taken down from the wall we're
stored on the staging, thus making
too heavy strain on it, is uncertain.
The staging gave way, however and
the beams OF 10x10 supporting the
building also gave way, straiDing
the makai wall aud cracking it in
several places. Luckily the work
men below had moved some few
minutes before. However, five un
fortunate men---a German brick
layer, three Portuguese and Japa-
nese, formerly servant Of Mr..
Highs, engaged above, were preci
pitated 60 the ground about twenty
feet below them, among the fall ny
timbers. Mr.. High aud DR. Herbert
we're speedily ON the spot. The
Japanese had both boues OF his
right leg broken just above the
ankle. One Of the Portuguese had
his wrist broken. Both Of these in.
juries we're successfully Y attended to
by DR.. Herbert. The Japanese was
sent home TO Mr. Highs residence.
The other three who had injuries to
the head and face we're taken to the
Queens Hospital. Neither of them
are seriously injured.

An Enterpris,ng Paper.

w. II Kapn, the proprietor Of the
Makasiuana, has issued an extra edi-
ton in which he very appropriately
advises the Hawaians what to do
and to do under the present un-
healthy state OF affairs Great cre-
dit is due to Mr.. Kapu for this show
of public spirit. We should have
considered it the duty of the Board
of Health to have undertake the
work and not leave it to a private
individual. We give below few OF
the salient points laid down in
"extra" which can be read by all
Hawaiians and foreigners to great
advantages:
Do not eat raw, uncooked food OF
any kind--not even poi or milk.
Do not eat or drink to excess.
Do not drink water that has not
been boiled.
Do not eat or drink anything that
have not heen re.ently cooked or
boiled, aud the more recent the
cooking and the hotter they are, the
safer. -t
Do not use knives, forks, spoons,
cups and other articles in eating or
drinking, unless they have been re
Gently put in boiling water.
Do not eat or handle food or
drink with unwashed hands, Or re-
ceive it from uuwashad hands OF
others.
Do not use the hands for any pur.
pose after handling sick people,;
thoroughly clean your hands at
once.
Do not doctor yourselves for bowel
complaint, but 90 TO bed aud send for
a doctor at once. S nd to the Dis
pensary or Board of Health for
medical aid.
Do not permit vomit or discharges
from the bowels to come in contact
with anything you are to use, but il
by accident such disch argos touch
any hipg to be used pour boiling
water on the thing at once.
Do not be frightened-but be eau
tious.
Do not go out in the night or
early morning without having eaten
or drunk hot food or drink in
moderation.
Do not think that your kahuna
knows more about this disease than
the foreign doctors.
Do not permit filth in any form
about your houses aud yards.
d. not forget that water is the
source from whence the most dan
ger comes, aud be sure to boil all
you use for food and drink.
Do not drink intoxicating drink
immoderately. Just take enough to
keep the stomach warm.
Do not eat fruits OF any kind.
Do not remove sick persons from
place TO place as is the Hawaiian
custom. Change of residence will
not hel lp while the chances for the
spreading of the disease will in
crease.
Keep all outhouses, etc, constant
ly disinfecled and frequently cleans
ed and fl 'oded wit water.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, July ss, 1895.

AV'e"V"e"j 0."'J W. ~O"Os
1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. 1t is a historical
fact that the end of each GEN.
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to-
day are making and unmaking
alliances of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates its let
ters in the year 1900. Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of conquest, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have show, no militia a chance,
except provided with the indis-
pensable bicycle. And no won-
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand.
We have watched proceedings
in the great countries with q
great deal of care, and we have
secured the sole agency for Ha-
waii of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone a
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infrmary" will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may, meet through accident or
lack of care. Our prices are far
below veterinary figures. We
fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
OH hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
to spend their vacations in Ho-
nolulu, that we have wheels just
suitable for them. If daddy
can't send them to the country
for a trip-or buy them a bow
wow-let them ask him for
Monarch. 1t will give more
pleasure and last much longer
than even a volcano trip.

II the Advertiser expresses the
sentiments OF the government when
it advocates the retention In Oahu
Prison OF a number Of political
prisoners, the proposed pardons
will be of no avail at all and the
hostile feeling against the republic
not abated one whit. Even among
the staunch supporters Of the gov
ernment, the unanimous demand is
now "let them all 60 free" The
small missionary faction repre- 'euted
by the Advertiser on behalf OF the
Castle-Judge clique should not he
allowed 10 spoil the benefits 4 the
only wise and polite move yet un.
dertaken by the administration for
the purpose of reconciliating the
different parties and races. Let the
foreigners who are yet confined in
the Prison, leave the country and go
to their respective houses if such a
measure is considered advisable and
necessary, but let the gates to the
coral hell be opened o every political
prisoner, and the much needed good
will essential to prosperity and
harmonious feeling will be created.
We quote editor Towse's sensible
remark which appeared in the Star
last night:
Continued detention behind
prison walls of political offenders is
sign of government weakness"

picions of them seemed to be able to

The Board OF Health is now reaping
the reward of it's treatment Of the
most experienced physicians ia the
country BY bitter experience, it is
finding out that oaths do not couu
terbalance experience, especially in
medical work. Unfortunately the
country has to suffer for political
prejudices. Disease makes no politi
cal distinctions. Il attacks the oath
bound supporter Of the Government
just as quickly as it does the recalci.
trant objector to "the best govern
ment Hawaii ever had" We are
paying pretty GEAR price for the
humor of having a cast. iron oath
tied round the necks OF all govern
ment employers. Perhaps though
it is better to die under the minis
trations of an oath. bound physi.
clan than be saved by the experience
and prescriptions Of one who is un-
willing to swear to what is against
his conscientious opinions.

The meeting of the Board Of
Health joined by number of the
medical fraternity held yesterday
was not very lucid or tended to
solve the question if we have got
cholera in Honolulu or not. II we
understand the situation correctly
the facts are that the persons who
have died from the alleged cholera
like disease have been attended by
DR.. Murray who consequently is the
most competent person to judge of
the nature of the disease and to
diagnose it. DR.. Murray claims, we
understand, that his patients died
under symptoms very much resem-
bling those following the Asiatic
cholera. II it is not cholera he very
sensibly asks the medical faculty
"what is it them" The faculty look
cd very wise yesterday, talked a
great deal, but they didn't answer
DIR. Murray's question. How could
they when none of them had seen
