Decision on Chattcl MORTGAGE.

e decision to the effect that mortgage on q
flock OF sheep does not, unless explicitly so
stated in the agreement, include the wool
that may be grown or the lambs that may be-
born during the time the mortgage is running
The case IN point arose from q suit by the First
National Bank of Santa Ana against Erreca e,
Banandeguy to ioreclose a chattel mortgage
il held on 1880 sheep since January 1S. 1891
In April, 1895, the defendants had sold TO
Bruschi 1000 pounds of wool from these
sheep, and in May, 1895, had sold to
Casson S15 lambs that had been born after the
mortgage was executed. The Superior Court
held that the wool and the lambs thus sold
were covered by the mortgage, and rendered
judgment directing their sale. Bruscht and
Casson appealed from this decision and The
Supreme Court has found that the lower court
erred

The case of William A. Speake, for
merly employed with the Atlas Iron
Works and arrested on a charge of en-
bezzIement, was dismissed yesterday
morning by Judge Low.
II was shown after an exhaustive invest
igation OF the company's books that the
system of bookkeeping in use had been
responsl BILE for echarge brought against
Speake. Frank Lester, superintendent of
the works and one of the partners, ap.
peared and asked for the dismissal, which
was promptly granted.
Mr.. Speake when arrested gave the name
of Spencer in an effort to avoid undue
publicity, and it was shown that this was
his only motive in offering the name.

of science

AT the opening of the new Com
mercial Museum in Philadelphia,
where are exhibited the latest and
best specimens of every class of
manufacture in the United States,
President Mckinley made the fol
lowing allusion to the new tariff
and the benefits to be derived from
it, after its completion, urging that
it was not wise to decry measure
which was in process of construct
ion, as is the new tariff: EBut let
me tell you, my countrymen, that
resuscitation will not be promoted
by recrimination. The distrust of
the present Will not be removed by
a distrust of the future. A patriot
makes a better citizen than a pessi-
mist, and we have got to be patient,
for much as We may want to move
out of the old house, we cannot do
it until the new one is finished. A
tariff law half made is of no prac-
teal use except to indicate that In
a little while whole tariff law will
be done, and it is making progress.
1t is reaching the end, and when
the end comes we will have bust
ness confidence and industrial ac-
tivity. Let US keep stout hearts
and steady heads, for the country
is not going backward, but for
ward. American energy has not
been destroyed by the storms of the
past. 1t viii triumph through
wise and benefcent legislation.
Philadelphians have in the past
shown what busy industries and
well employed labor can do to make
great city and contented popu-
lation. They don't mean to ac
cept the present condition as per
manent and final. They will meet
embarrassments as they have
bravely met them in the past, and

The notion that once prevailed
that if "John" lacked the posses
sion of the intelligence considered
necessary for successfully conduct
ing business enterprise, he could
either go into the ministry or teach
school, has happily been almost
entirely dispelled. Not long since
a case was reported of a teacher in
a country district who made a cross
for her signature on the payroll.
Such instances are extremely rare.
1t has been demonstrated that a
successful teacher not only has
need of the best education, both
general and specific, that our insti-
buttons of learning can offer, but
in addition must possess a peeu-
liar fitness for the work. A wide
awake pupil is not slow to discover
the weak points in a teachers
knowledge of the subject, and few
opportunities are lost for showing
up the weak point to its best adj

1t seems that they have been
having the same trouble with the
Salvation Army people for distrub-
ing the public peace in Demerara,
British Guiana, as was reported a
short time since in New York. The
first arrest was Adjutant Widgery,
and the second was his wife. The
magistrate, after a full hearing,
fined the adjutant $25 his wife SIS,
and the drummer so, which they
refused to pay and went to prison.
Afterwards the fines were paid. The
Daily Chronicle. commenting on
on the case says: IF the Salvation
list is bounced upon for playing his
drum, then the same activity
should be shown in putting
down those denominations known
as wakes" with which the
more ghoulishly inclined of the
lower orders are wont to
make night hidious whenever they
get chance. The shouting, fight
ing, and lewd singing, which fire.
quently may be heard in our pub
lie streets, are far more serious evils
than the banging of dozen tam
borines or the booming of a score of
drums by well intentioned Saliva
tionists. If the police are really
anxious to maintain quiet and de-
cency in the streets let them attack
these more glazing nuisances first.
Then there will be no cause to feel
that an attack has been made under
the cover of the law, upon body
of well meaning religionists."

The recently organized Hawai-
ian Geographical Society has a
rich field for observation and re-
search. Old ideas and theories of
the formation of the earth's sur
face are constantly being eXplod-
ed or revised. chiefly from the dis
cOvery of additional data. Much
of this discovery has been acct
dental. 1t is hoped that the mem
bers will continue their investiga-
lions beyond the mere collecting
of peculiar or interesting speci-
mems. 1t is certainly not the in
tention of the promoters of the
Society to allow the study to be-
come only superficial.
An organized and persistent
search for new material cannot
fail to produce results which will
have a destinct bearing ON the
local conditions already known.
Such a search will not only aid
Science, but will arouse an inter
est in the physical features of the
Islands. The Society will not
confine its word to the study of
these features alone. Meteorolo-
gical observations will also be
taken by each member, and elm
attic changes noted.
The conditions of membership
are such that almost any one may
join. The collecting of speci-
mems is exacted of each member,
and this will serve to keep out the
dilettanti. Such societies else
where have rendered valuable
assistance to Government bu-
reaus, and have enabled indiyidu-
ais to acquire a great deal of use
full information.

depth of 1900 feet. \ clipping
from an exchange refers to well
boring near Pittsburg, which has
reached much greater depth. The
operations are under the direction
of Prof. Hallock of Columbia Col
lege, and the object is to ascertain
the variations of temperature at
the different levels. At the latest
report it had reached a depth of
1892 feet. At first. it was intend
ed to bore to a depth of 10000 feet
and then suspend operations. This
plan has been changed, and it has
now been decided to fix no limit to
it, but TO bore until it is impossible
to proceed any further, for it is be-
lieved that at some stage the power
of the machinery to operate will be
exhausted. No one ventures an
opinion as to when that point will
be reached, and there is no certain
tv that it will ever be reached. But
the difficulty of operating is aug
mented as the distance from the
surface increase. and that fact
strengthens the impression that
there must be an end to this, as
there is to all other things. The
deepest well in the world at present
is near Leipsic, Saxony, where salt
is brought to the surface from a
depth of $40 feet, at which point
the temperature is said to be 1853
degrees Fahrenheit. The temper
allure of the PittsbTg well at a
depth of $500 feet showed 12S de-
grees of heat. At that rate of in
crease the boiling point-212 de-
grees- would be reached at the
depth of two miles. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that as a great
er depth is reached the rise in tenn
perature will be more rapid. All
sorts of hopes are entertained in
connection with this experiment.
For example, Prof. Hallock be-
lieves that the heat found in the in
terror of the earth may be utilized
for power, light and other pur-
poses. He reasons that when the
depth is reached at which water
boils, steam may be made either by |
turning in water from the surface,
or utilizing subterranean streams
that may be discovered during the
of drilling. If that ex-
pectation is fulfilled the value of
the enterprise will become inesti-
mable. 1t would be scarcely safe
to dismiss the scheme as impracti-
cable and to look upon it as a wild
goose chase, for this is an age in
which everything appears reason
able and attainable through the aid |
of science.

tive of the fact that teachers are

The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-07-27

One of the best evidences of bet
ter times returning to business in
the United States is the statement
of the United States Treasury that
there has been an increase in the
money in circulation at the close of
the first six months of 1897, of
nearly s14O,0OO,OO0 as compared
with 1896. This increase has been
caused in anticipation of an expan-
sion OF business in the South and
West as well as the North. And ii
Is said to be a remarkable fact that
public sentiment at the South, in
Guiding some of the cotton grow
ers or to be more accurate, a small
proportion of them, who raise cot
ton that comes into competition
with the imported qualities-are
afraid Of being ruined by Egyptian
cheap labor. 1t is in response to
their clamors that the Senate has
adopted tariff amendment, intro
duced by Mr.. Bacon of Georgia,
imposing a duty of 30 per cent. ad
valorem on cotton. The amend
ment was offered by the Georgia
senator on his individual response
bility, without the approval of the
Senate finance committee. In spite
of its lack of official sanction, it
passed by a very emphatic major
ity, the vote standing AZ yeas to 10
nays, a few of the old school free
trade Democrats voting in favor of
it. Cotton from Egypt, South Am
erica and perhaps India has been
largely imported of late into Amer
lea, which has tended to keep down
the price of the great staple pro
duct of the South. The cultivation
of cotton in Hawaii has never paid
las a business venture, except for a
short period during the American
war, when the sea island variety
grown on these islands, and shipped
TO the United States, gave hand
some profit for a short period. But
when the war closed, the price
dropped to a low figure, and it did
not pay to send it to New York or
London, owing to the excessive
freight charged on it. This variety
will not bear the heavy packing
which the short staple does, as it
has a more delicate fiber, and the
manufacturers prefer it baled more
loosely. For instance, three or four
bales of sea island Will equal in
weight one bale of Georgia cotton,
but being charged by space, has to
pay three or four times the heavy
rate demanded to New York or Eu-
rope. For this reason it is doubt
full whether capital can be induced
to embark in its cultivation when
the odds are strongly against its be
coming profitable; and certainly it
viii not pay so well as coffee or
sugar.
