ABOUT PARKS.

The proposal TO add features to Ka-
piolani park and bring it more up TO
date is good one Every city takes
a pleasure in its parks and in most
cities successful men are proud to eN-
pend money either in giving a park to
the town of their birth or the town
they have made their wealth in, or
else they take a pride in identifying
the park that already exists.
The features that are proposed for
Kapiolani park are more in the prac-
teal than in the ornamental line, but
one halls them as a step in the right
direction, and one hopes that many
more steps may be taken. At present
the Park is "A pleasant place to drive
around and is suitable for good cy-
cling. The band stand is prettily sit
uated, but it should be built upon
the acoustic principles of the band
stand at the Golden Gate park of San
heard distinctly at much greater dis
tance.
Speaking of Golden Gate park re-
minds one of its flowers and its birds.
We could have both here if there were
only means TO carry such plans out.
The park might be made very blaze
of color, with the brilliant flowers
than can be cultivated in our favored
climate. Now that Professor Koebele
has pretty well gotten the japanese
beetles in hand, there is no reason
why there should not be a wilderness
of roses in the upper part of the
park, and the various ANIMALS might
be bedded out in various parts.
As for birds, what collection could
be made. In such climate as ours
birds of both the temperate zone and
the tropics would do well, and there
would need no special care at any
time of the year. From small begin
nings one of the show collections of
the worl- might be gathered together.
Once begun, it would be increased by
private donations. And then what an
educational feature it would be.
Meanwhile we shall have to content
ourselves with clean lake, a few
pleasure boats and refreshment
stand. 1t is to be hoped that the park
commissioners will see to it that the
stand is of artistic design and not of
that style which is known through
out the English speaking world as
Carpenters Gothic.
While on the subject of parks it
must be noted that River park, which
is to be the Palama children's play
ground, will soon be leveled and in
condition for improvement. The
Star would urge that a committee be
formed and leave asked from the gov
eminent, which would be readily
granted, to take charge of the ground
and make the necessary improvements.
No one is better qualified for the initia-
ton of this work than Rev. #. W. Da-
mon. He has taken the greatest inter

to be the crater Of an old volcano.
There is an ancient ira lition that two

the town was washed away. Only one

NOVEL GLASS T T
A Device Which May BE Useful in More
Ways Than One.

A Device Which May BE Useful in More
Ways Than One.
DR.. Franklin H. Bailey of Boston has
a novel device of cutting glass. Writ
ing about this device in the Journal of
Education he says:
ITO cut a bottle or my cylindrical
object with a diamond or steel wheel
cutter, even If one is provided with
such a tool, is an exceedingly difficult
task. The old method of applying a
hot poker to a deep groove made with
a file is preferable. With a few trials
I discovered that a bottle can be CIT
just as neatly and in much less tiLle
by rotating it underneath a common Jet
of gas and close to the burner. A still
more interesting method, by means of
which just as good work can be done,
is by holding the bottle wei the point
OF a common candle blaze. With a
small wax candle 1 succeeded in leading
a cut five times around the bottle, spir-
alling it like a wire coiled into a spring,
and did not use quite an inch of the
length of the bottle, the width of the
glass in the spiral being but a little
more than its thickness. Bottles are
easily cut with a fine jet of burning gas
as follows: Scratch the bottle with a
file along the edge Of a strip of paper
tied around it for a guide. Remove the
paper, and, rolling the bottle, heat it
along the scratch to a little distance
ahead before the crack starts, or the
latter may leave the mark. With thin
glass the crack will follow the gas jet
quite steadily without much heating
ahead, but thick glass is liable to crack
by fits and starts After some prac-
tice you can dispense with the scratch,
except an inch or two where the creack
is to be started. Sharp edges are
smoothed with a wet file. Thin bottles
may be cut with a fiat wick oil lamp,
but the line must be scratched en-
tirely around, and even then the glass
will not always crack where desired.
With little practice bottles may be cut
into spirals from end to end, after
which they can be stretched c%onsidera-
bly, without breaking; when released
glass will resume its original length
with a sharp click, showing it's great
elasticity. Test tubes, lamp chimneys,
thin glass tumblers and breakers are
very easily spiralled. Both tumblcrs
and breakers the author has so cut as
to be stretched to twice their original
length, and the smaller part of an ar
gand chimney he has cut into a spiral
of sixty coils within a length of eight
inches. The gas flame used was but
one-fourth inch in length, and with 1t
was also cut in two evenly and smooth
ly a bottle three-eighths of an inch
thick. Any one possessing gas, Bunsen
burner, a little glass tubing and suf1-
cient patience can make his own cut
ters. To do SO held the end of a glass
tube, about one-fourth inch in dame
ter, in the blaze of a Bunsen burner,
and rotate it till the opening becomes
so small as to be almost or quite in
visible to the naked EYE. If, however,
the tube is held in the fire a second
too long the hole closes entirely. The
cutter can. of course. be used on any
table by connecting it with rubber tub
ing to a common gas burner"

Composite Photographs.

A composite photograph is a very
interesting study, and is often used to
illustrate a class, as, for instance,
scholars in a certain class are pho
%tographed one after the other on the
same plate, and the picture is sup
posed to bring out the prominent
characteristics of the class. In the
same way a club of athletes, a team Of
football or baseball players, are pho
tographed. The children of one fam
ly make a good composite photo
graph; and Francis Cation, the man
who originated the plan of making
pictures in this way, said that if a
picture Of a child should be made at
the rate Of one each six months or a
year, the result, after a number of
years, would make a most interesting
study Of the growth of a family type
or characteristic. To make a compos-
ite picture the heads must all be posed
in the same position and on the same
line, and of course at the same dis
lance from the camera. A full-face
view or a perfect profile is the best
position for a composite photograph,
and the full face is to be preferred,
as when the picture is taken in profile
the composite" nose Is a most pecu-
liar shape. To regulate the time of
exposure for a composite picture the
time required for a correct exposure
Of one picture is divided among the
number of persons to be photographed.
If the correct exposure takes ten Sec
onds, and there are ten persons to be
photographed, then for each sitter the
plate should be exposed one second
