We have just received our
1897 TRIBUNE WHEELS and
invite inspection. We have
them both for LADIES and
GENTS and we have plenty of
them on hand and more on the
way.
The 81 Tribune is an i'm

and is second to none. Among
the changes made we might
mention the increase of the
upper frame tube to 4 i-8 in,
and the adoption of one inch
tubular seat post, secured by
clamp, retaining otherwise the
same folm of forging into
which the rear tubes are brazed.
The crank fastening is also i'm

the matched corrugations of
the shaft and crank are retained.

SS4, 100000. This would be near
ly S5,000,000 a year. But, my dear
sir, your consumption OF sugar
less exports for 1896 was more than
100000 short tons( 2000lbs. and
you only produced one-sixth of that
quantity. the Hawaiian Islands
gave you 100000 tons more or
less, or tenth of your neces-
sary supply. We'll, we gave you,
say ,S12,000,000 worth of sugar in
voice prices, and we bought near
ly S6,000,000 of merchandise from
you. You RENTED us, as you
choose to put it, in duties free on
our sugar about 100000 less than
the total amount of our purchases.
Now, there is nothing more GER
tain in political economy than
that the consumer pays the duty
on whatever shortage is imported
to any country of a given commo.
dity. Therefore, if there was no
Hawaiian treaty, your people
would have had to pay more than
five million dollars of taxes on
Hawaiian sugar. Allow that with
the treaty remission of taxes on
Hawaiian sugar your people have
paid that amount. You needed
the quantity of sugar we sent you
and, if you could not have had it,
you should have had to tax your
selves to get an equal quantity
from Manila and elsewhere.
Would these countries, upon
which you would have depended
for supplying your needs in
sweetening material, have bought
from you natural and manu-
featured products in anything
like the proportion exhibited i'll
the Hawaiian table of imports9
Not by long sight, They would
have got their chief supplies of
merchandise from the cheap
markets of Europe.
An exhibit OF our buyings and
settings in the United States is,
however. inadequate as a criterion
of the value Of the Hawaiian trade
to that great country. Ninety. two
and 26-100ths of the trade of the
Hawaiian Islands has been with
the United States, and 1888 per
cent. of that trade has been done
in vessels of United States regis
try. Again, besides the costly
machinery for the manufacture of
sugar, there is no small value of
plant employed in other branches
of manufacture, and almost the
whole of our machinery III every
line comes from the workshops
og the United States. Under the
reciprocity treaty we "remit''-to
use the mode Of expression of Mr..
Oxnard and friends-the duties
on machinery of American manu-.
facture. Indeed, this country is
in reality part and parcel of the
United States commercially. If
it should be repulsed in its over
lures for closer relations than
those existing, Hawaii will per-
haps not be the greater sufferer of
the two countries. The loss of
the Hawaiian trade would be a
distinct calamity to the Pacific
Coast. America has presented
to her, and it is hoped will i'm
prove, a great opportunity.

Six Hundred Shots n Minute.

A startling development in gunmak-
ing is the new automatic Hotchkiss
mitrailleuse. 1t fires off 500 or 600
infantry cartridges per minute. This
little marvel of mechanism performs
the most astounding functions with
twice the rapidity and more than the
accuracy of human intelligence. 1t
loads n gun, closes the breech, fires,
opens the breech again, throws out
the empty shell, and introduces a new
cartridge exactly as soldier would do.
A gun barrel of extra strength is
screwed in front of movable breech
box which contains the operating
mechanism. Running on a parallel
line below this barrel is hollow cylin-
der which communicates with the bar
rel by means of an orifice perforated
at short distance from the mouth. In
this cylinder is a cogged piston.
When the shot is fred, as soon as the
ball has passed the orifce communicate
ing between the barrel and the cylin-
der, the gases from the powder pene-
trate the chamber in front of the pis-
ton and push it back to a position
where it is held by catch. When
the trigger is once more pressed the
catch is released and the liberated pis-
ton flies back to its initial position by
means of spring.

estimate the amount of gold which has

caught in little hole or flaw in the
stone when it was being formed
and is always straining to es-
cape. In consequence of this ia.
ternal tension valuable diamonds
not ,nfrequently explode or fall
into pieces when exposed to heat.
Cunning dealers sometimes allow un.
suspecting and rich clients to carry in
their warm pockets, or to handle in
their warm hands, large crystals, fresh
from the mine, and then if the stones
break the dealer demands satisfaction
for the loss of valuable gem. To
guard against losses due to this ex-
plosion of diamonds, large jewels are

interesting to note that the artificial
diamonds now being prepared explode
just as the natural ones do.
Different stones and sometimes diff
ferent parts of the same stone vary
greatly in hardness. Some very bril-
iiahO SuihO w
land from New South Wales were
found to be so hard that it was i'm
possible to grind them, and they had
to be used for rock drills instead of
for iewelry. The intense hardness of
the diamond is strikingly shown by
the fact that if good stone without
flaws be put between two pieces of
steel and great pressure applied twill
be forced clear into the steel without
being injured in the least. Some
diamonds when put into vacuum and
subjected to current of electricity
give out considerable light. Profess
