AT INDIAN HEAD.
Great Guns to BE Fired ut n Battle
Ship Turret.

Ship Turret.
Arrangements are being made by the
Navy Department for test of great guns
at Indian Head, which is expected by the
bureau of ordnance to attract the attention
of the world, but from witnessing, which
all foreigners will be carefully excluded.
A leading official Of the Navy Department
yesterday told a Star reporter that the de-
partment is well satisfied with the knowl-
edge that has been secured from firing
guns of all sorts of caIber against plates,
but that next to nothing has been learned
as to what would he the effect of firing a
twelve-inch gun against turret structure
similar to that which one of our men-of-
war would have to encounter in case of an
actual naval battle.
In order to get reliable information on
this point the department is having built
at Indian Head, stated, at a cost of
$4,000, a turret structure which, when
completed, will represent one of those to be
found OIL the strongest men-of-war atioat.
Some time during the coming spring there
will be given a thorough test OF its resist
ing qualities to some of the largest guns
that have been produced for use in the
Iavy.
Notwithstanding the cost of the expert
ment it is believed to be necessary,in view
rot only of the want Of knowledge there is
in reference to the points referred to- but
because it is believed Congress is about to
appropriate q large sum of money for coast
defenses and the upbuilding of the navy.
The guns of the Massachusetts, the sister
ship of the Indiana, will also be tested
shortly, and the department expects the
trial 20 result as satisfactorily as in the
case of the Indiana. Capt. Robley d.
Evans of the Indiana has reported that the
guns Of his vessel have fulfilled every re-
quirement
Few people understand the seriousness of
q gan trial. There are on the Massachu-
sets four great guns. each forty feet long
Each weighs SiXty-seven TONS and fires
solid snot thirteen inches in diameter and
about four feet long. The weight of this
shot is 1,1G0 pounds, and a charge of $50
pounds Of powder is required to make the
gun do is full work.
Not long ago the English government ex-
perimented with a thirteen-inch gun on
skip of the Royal Sovereign class. At the
first firing of the gun the entire upper deck
was lifted from it's position and sprung
along its entire center, so terrible was the
shock The Massachusetts, has been spe-
c,ally equipped to provide against any such
disaster, and her decks have been con-
structed in such manner that naval ex-
perts agree that no such damage can be-
fall her when the thirteen-inch guns are
fired.

1t is not probable that the recon-
mendation TO grant Liliuokalani full
pardon will meet with any opposition in
the Council of State or anywhere else.
To all intents and purposes it is a for
mality which means very little to the
public. In fact we see no reason why
full pardons should not be distributed
among all those connected with the
affairs of 1895, an event fast being
relegated to the archives OF ancient
history. The lesson taught at that
time has not been forgotten however,
and will not be during the present
generation. Liliuokalani has led a
quiet, nOn-political life for the past
year and half and since the Govern
ment saw fit to lift the burden of SEN
tence@ imposed by the military com
mission it might just as we'll finish the
thing with one last sweep.

Sim Mack's remarks on the coffee
prospects of this country will be CRATE
fully received particularly by the plan
tiers of Olaa whose fields were given
speeial attention. That the Hawaiian
planter must work out his own saliva
ton in the matter of finding out the
best methods of cultivation in his dis
trict is by no means new proposition,
but it often has a good effect for the
planter to be told this by one who has
seen other coffee fields and knows
something of the conditions under
which the people who are to be our
competitors are laboring The matter
of experiments with coffee trees is
one of such Importance that really the
agricultural department of the Gov
eminent ought to lend helping hand.
With the money placed at the disposal
of this department at the present time
it is next to impossible to carry out
the extensive investigation which the
coffee industry most certainly merits.
Again there should not be too much of
the disposition among the planters to
bottle themselves up and keep what
information they may gain to them
selves. There should be a free ex-
change of opinions and every effort
put forth to give others the benefit of
what may have been gained by careful
investigation.

GREAT ERIrIAN ~ SAMOA.

In the September issue Of the West
minister Review, an English writer,
taking Samoa for example, sets forth
what power one trading firm may ex-
ert in a national policy. He shows
that the German influence is centered
in a corporation owning $4,000 acres
of land, and if this company could be
bought out the English would have
full control. OF course such thing is
possible, but it is doubtful if Germany
is keeping its hold on the Samoan ISL
ands simply to further the ends of the
small number of it's citizens who have
taken residence and become property
holders. The figures given, however,
furnish food for thought.
In land holdings the British come
next to the Germans, with $4,000 acres;
then follow Americans with $1,000
acres, and the French with 300 acres.
In residents Great Britain leads with
1913, the Germans second with 122, and
Americans third, numbering 46. An
other argument in favor of the British
is that the English language is used
almost exclusively in the courts. News
papers are published, and even the
books of the German firm are kept in
English.
Finally the religion of the country
was established by the London Mis-
sionary Society. OF the work of the
missionaries in Samoa he writes:
''The missionary of today has become
a schoolmaster rather than an evan
gelist. Thus we arrive at the signifi-
cant fact that the Samoan people have
been, and are being entirely educated
by the missions. The utterly incap-
able and impecunious Samoan govern
ment contributes not penny toward
the cost of teaching it's own people.
The work has been performed almost
entirely by English money and Eng
lish brains. The London Missionary
Society, first in the field, has done the
giants share, and today it claims as
adherents some $1,000 Samoans. In
the absence of census, whether reli-
gious or secular, exact figures as to
population are not obtainable, but it is
estimated that the group is inhabited
by about $4,000 natives. OF this num-
Der the Roman Catholics, who have
many workers in the field, may have
5000 converts, the Wesleyans perhaps
an equal number, the remainder be-
longing to the London Mission. Thus,
with the exception of the small French
Catholic Mission, the whole credit of
Christianizing these islands belong to
the English, an achievement which
certainly ought to rank higher than the
purchase of a few thousand acres of
land, at a low price, from half savage
native Chiefs"
This is a record of which the Eng
Iish may we'll be proud, but if Great
Britain has lost her prestige in Samoa
it is not at all probable that either Ger
many or the United States will give
way for her to regain it. Even the
small islands of the Pacific are becom-
ing valuable in these days.

Professor Pettigrew's Investigations
proved what more recent observers
have confirmed, namely, that all ma
tural wings, whether of insect, bat or
bird, act on the same principle-that
of a screw. When the bodies of flying
creatures are fixed, the wings striking
downward and forward, and upward
and forward, in alternate down and up
strokes, describe what are called figure
of-eight tracks in space.
