A Historical Chapter closed.

The death OF Mrs. Ninito Sumner
recalls an event in Hawaiian his
tory which was Of interest and
importance to the people who knew
her at the time OF her arrival in 1S49.
1t was in August, 1S49, when the
French flagship Poursuivante, Ad-
miral Tromelin, cast anchor here
and landed the young and beautiful
Tahitian princess, who then learned
OF the death of her royal betrothed.
The French Admiral desired to take
her back to Tahiti, but she preferred
to remain here with her suite, among
whom was Mrs. Weed, who survives
her royal friend.
There was trouble in those days
bet ween the French and the Hawai-
ian Governments, caused by the out
rageous treatment of the Catholic
priests by the New England mis-
sionaries, and by the discrimination
against France in regard to the i'm
port OF goods, especially cognac.
Admiral Tromelin landed his
forces and seized the fort of
Honolulu aud the Kings yacht
"Kamehameha." The trouble was
eventually settled. A marriage be-
tween Prince Lot, later Kameha-
meha ", and Ninito was suggested,
but before any final arrangements
were made, Lot left for the States
with DIR. Judd.
Ninito remained in Hawaii, and
on May %, 1850, she was married to
John X. Sumner, with whom she
lived happily until the day of her
death, which removes another land
mark from the pages of the history
OF Hawaii.

RAPID FIRE GUNS.
What Distinguishes Them from the
slOw-Fire Cannon I'm Use Ten
and More Years Ago.

Rapid-fire guns are just now much
talked about, but most people have only
vague idea of what they are. Proba-
bly, the general idea is based on the Cat
ling gun. People who take the Calling
gun as type of rapid fire" suppose
that all guns called by that name are
merely machines for showering rife
balls. But this is complete mistake.
There are rapid-fire guns with diam
eter of six inches that throw shells
weighing 100 pounds. Mere size has
nothing to do with the classification
into rapid fire and slow-firing guns.
The essential difference is the method
of loading. Instead of opening the
breech and inserting the projectile and
the powder separately, the latter in a
bunting bag, ammunition for rapid
fire guns is now prepared as for small
arms. the ball, powder and firing
primer are united, the powder in q
metallic case attached to the shot, and
the primer in the center of the base of
this case. There are number of types
of rapid-fire guns, differing in the way
this fixed ammunition is fed to the gun
and fired. The six-pounder (2.24-inch
caliber) rapid-fire guns of the Hotch-
kiss, Driggs-Schroeder, Maxim, Norden-
feldt and Sponsel types can discharge
100 shots in four minutes and twenty
six seconds, four minutes thirty-five
and one-half seconds, four minutes for
ty-one seconds and four minutes fifty
six and one-haif seconds, respectively,
or 20 to rs shots per minute, with ac-
curacy of aim. Without attempt at ac-
curacy of aim the rate can be increased
to 80 to IS shots per minute. With FIVE
inch rapid-fire guns, or 50-pounders, SO
shots have been fired in five minutes
