QUEEN ELIZABETH

Nance O'Neil scored her signal tri-
uinph last evening at the hawaiian
opera house, as EliZabetn, Queen of
England, in Giacometti's great histo-
rical drama of that name The role
called for the most powerful work,
the most eNhausting energy. the most
finished conceptions. Miss O'Neil lrov-
ed equal to the task; yea, more, a
star, a leader. She was the center
wheel, the genius of the entertain
ment. The audience was drawn. thrust
away and walked to applause by her
marvellous stage skill. Everyone lived
in the life of the wicked, good, blood
thirsty, charitable Queen Elizabeth.
Miss O'Neils power stirred an i'm
pulse that held the whole house.
Herbert Carr, as Robert, Earl of Es-
sex, also proved master Except as
Fagin, in Oliver Twist, he has per-
haps never shown so much power. His
denunciation after the i'll bestowed
rebuke of the queen, following the
battle of CadiZ, sent a thrill through
the audience. The situation is partic-
ularly difficult. 1t calls for forceful
Interpretation, quick, positive, clean
stage work. The outburst of ap-
plause that followed bespoke the
appreciation richly deserved

WEEKLY SERVICE.
Possibility of Mail Line for New
Year

The steamship Belgic will pass
through here tomorrow for the last
time. This will leave the Coptic, the
Doric and the Gaelic in the Oriental
and Occidental line. The new Japa-
nese line will furnish steamer to
take the place of the Belgic. She is
one of three that are to be put on the
route after the list of January by the
Japanese company. From and after
that date the service will be perform
ed by three companies instead of two.

measure by statute passed during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth; it has no
connection with any scale in nature.
a nautical mile, on the other hand,
is equal to one-siXtieth part of the
length of a degree of a great circle of
the earth. But the circumference of the
earth is nowhere true circle; its ra-
dius of curvature is variable; hence
the nautical mile, as a matter of fact,
depends upon the shape as well as the
size of the globe sailed over; and hence
strictly speaking, the length of the
nautical mile should vary with the
latitude from 6,O46 feet at the equator
to 6,109 feet at the pole. Such extreme
accuracy is not necessary in navigating
and cannot be well attained without
undue labor The English admiralty,
therefore, have adopted $3.50 feet as
the length of nautical mile, which
corresponds with the length of one
siXtieth of degree-or one minute of
arc-of a great circle in latitude As de-
grees. The United States coast survey
has adopted the value of the nautical
mile "as equal to one-sixtieth part of
the length of a degree on the great
circle of a sphere whose surface is
equal to the surface of the earth. This
gives the length of one nautical mile
as equal TO 6.0S027 feet, which is very
nearly the value of the admiralty mile
adopted in the English navy Practi-
cally the nautical mile is 800 feet long
er than the statute mile. In other
words, one nautical mile is equal to
1.1515 statute miles; or one statute mile
is equal to 0.S69 nautical mile. Multi
ply nautical miles by 1.1515 and the
product will be statute miles; or null
tiply statute miles by by 0.S69, and
the product will be nautical miles.

The Constitution was a beautiful
ship, and wherever she went excited
the most favorable comment After
the war she was visited by an English
officer of high rank, who, after making
an inspection, said: This is one OF
the finest frigates I ever saw, if not
the finest; but I must say that her
wheel is clumsy and ugly and UNI
worthy of the vessel" The Yankee
captain replied: Sir, that wheel is the
only English thing in the ship. During
her action with the Java her own wheel
was knocked to pieces by shot. After
the Java was captured we took heI
wheel and fitted it to the Constitution
and although we think it as ugly as
you do, we have kept it as trophy. -
