VICTORIA 5 JUBILEE Day
THE PASTORS or THE CHURCHES
PREACH on THE EVENT.
Sermons by Rcv.'s D. p. Birnic, A..
Macintosh, james y. Monroe, and
II. w. Peck-United Praise.

The remarkable reign of Queen Vic
toria was referred to from every pull
pit in Honolulu yesterday. At the
morning service of Central Union
Church, Rev. Douglas p. Birnie preach
ed an eloquent sermon, speaking only
on the religious side of the Jubilee.
Rev. alex. Macintosh of the Second
Congregation of st. Andrews Cathe-
dral, made a brief address appropriate
to the occasion at his morning serv-
ice. The pastors of the Methodist
Episcopal and the Christian Churches
spoke on the Diamond Jubilee i'm the
evening. -,
Taking ga woman that feareth the
Lord, she shall be praised" for his
text, Mr.. Brine stated that Queen Vic
toria well filed the measure of this
verse. In making his introduction,
the speaker touched lightly upon his
tory. Sixty years ago, girl of IS was
crowned Queen of England, and that
same Queen has just passed through
three score years of public life and
the whole world joins in congratula-
tions.
Victoria's Government has been the
Good Samaritan. England's founda-
ton is the Bible.
Mr.. Brine referred briefly to the
purpose of the Britishers here to erect
a hospital for incurables as Jubilee
memorial.
In a trip around the world the
speaker saw no contempt for English
honor.
All Anglo-SaXons anu all others will
praise the Queen this week. She is a
womanly Queen and a queenly woman
There are two reasons for the praise
of the world. One of these is her faith
in God: a faith which has moulded
her character and made it praise.
worthy.
Then again, Victoria as a wife
mother, and homemaker, has endear.
ed herself to the hearts of all. Al
home-lovers bless her; the husband
and wife bless her, and all mothers
bless her, for amid all her State cares
Victoria never neglected her children
In showing that her faith in Goo
was first, Mr.. Brine quoted declara
ton which marked the very beginning
of her reign. 1t was the declaration
which she made to the officers of Stat,
on the day on which she was declared
Queen.

A large audience greeted Rev. James
NJ. Monroe at the Christian Church
last evening to hear his sermon on the
diamond Jubilee" An interesting
feature of the opening services was a
Jubilee hymn, written by Daniel
Logan.
The pastor said in part that Victoria
has a wider extent of dominion and
more subjects than any other ruler in
history. England's two greatest rul-
ers have been women. The heroic cras
have been the Elizabethan age and
the Victorian age. While not so great
in intellect and craftsmanship rs
Queen Elizabeth, yet Queen Vic'orl is
more beloved. She has won the hearts
of Christendom.
All civilized nations will rejoice with
England in this her jubilee. All ma
tions are recipients of the blessings
of this benefcent reighn, which has
brought peace, commerce, education,

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down tc
the office of the Electric Company and said
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered theiI
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tel

The Rev. Alex. Macintosh preached
from the text Beloved, if God so low
ed us, we ought also to love one an
other" He drew picture of Gods
benevolence to man in raising up eX-
amples of righteous rulers, statesmen,
and heroes, to assist man to overcome,
and above all, to create love and peace
on earth to the eradication of the
evils of the world. Queen Victoria
was the most prominent example of
modern days, and, in fact. of all time.
In her reign the friendship which
ought to exist between nation and ma
ton and between man and man, espe-
cially between those of the same faith,
has been the one aim to accomplish
and cement. All true progress, true
civilization, true Christianity, lies in
the promotion of this lovely bond be-
tween men, and this is why men as
semble at the commemoration of the
accession to the throne of that Sover-
eign, whose reign has been one con-
tinued blessing, not only to her own
people, but to nearly all the earth.
The highest and noblest and the
most persistent effort of the Queen has
been to carry out and spread abroad
the love of God and the love of man
for his neighbor-the greatest good
for the greatest number.

REALM OF SCIENCE.

a recent meeting OF the p.IIs
Academy of Sciences, M. Mossan, the
distinguished chemist, communicated
the result Of his experiments with Pro-
lessor Dewar in the liquefactior of
fluorine gas. This gas, as is well
known, has hitherto resisted all efforts
to reduce it to a liquid state. M. Mois-
san made the announcement that it had
now been liquefied by him and Pro-
ftssor DeWar at about 1856 deg Cent.

ing in liquefaction were conducted IN
the famous glass apparatus invented
by Professor Dewar. When a current

without the necessity Of being fired
from a rifled gun, and his project;le
has not the fault of tumblng. In
shape it is an ordinary conical shot.
In its bore is a hollow capable of
holding a considerable quantity of
slow-burning powder. A plug screws
into this hollow, holding the powder
securely within. Around the edges
of this plug are a series of grooves
leading into the powder chamber, and
bored at an angle opposite the direc-
ton in which the projectile is expected
to twist, and thus bores it's way
through the air, which it does on the
same principle that makes the Fourth
of July pinwheel revolye when it is
lighted.
A charge of quick burning powder is
dropped into the smooth-bore cannon,
and the projectile is pushed in upon
it. The fuse is attached and the can
non fired. The quick-burning powder
eXpels the projectile and lights the
SLOW burning powder through the
grooves This begins at once, accel-
Grating the speed and initiating the
twist even before leaving the cannon.
The speed is said to actually increase
while the projectile is in the air, and
until the powder is burned out, the
rotary motion continues to accelerate
the ball. Col. Bell is stationed at the
prpSilio M San Francisco and ii iS
there that he made his first experiment
Il little over year ago. Other tests
are expected to take place shortly, and
If results are found to be uniformly
satisfactory, the war department will

Prince Esterhazy de Galantha, whose

anxious to make her his wife, is GER
tainly old enough to know better. He

wives are dead, however, and he is

chooses.

Il serious misalliance, for the prince is
