Prof. George Il. Hale, the director OF
the Yerkes Observatory, speaking in
recent address Of the fifth satellite OF
Jupiter, said that not only must JupI-
ter he partially concealed behind n
smoked mica screen in order that the
tiny satellite may he seen. but even the
near approach of one of the four larger
moons of Jupiter Is sufficient to render
1t Invisible. This little body was dis
covered by Mr.. Barnard with the Lick
telescope In 1892. and It has been seen
with only few of the largest tele-
scopes in existence.
The salt mines of Wlellezka. near
Cracow. Poland were mentioned In
l044. and have been worked since 1910,
The first map OF the mines was made in
lG3S by Martin German, Swedish
mine surveyor The eight shafts now
in existence are from 207 TO 9S5 feet
deep. aud the length OF the levels now
open is $4,000 feet, with 1l5.500 feet
of underground tram lines. Between
1II2 and 1872 about three million cubic
Yards have been excavated for the eN-
traction of salt. Machine drills are now
used and compressed powder Is enl-
ployed In bla sting. The present levels
are seven and one-qnarter feet high by
six and one-quarter feet wide.
The st. Petersburg Academy OF
Science was interested recently by n
note from Professor Karplnsky de-
scribing some peculiar hail which fell
IN Russian Poland. The grains were
pear shaped and contained black gran
ules. Chciaical analysis showed that
they consisted NJ lron, nickel and co
halt and this satisfied Professor Kar-
pinsky that they were of eosmic origin,
The iron was magnetic. The grains,
probably tile debris OF meteors that
had been burned In the upper air,
would have escaped detection had they
not been enclosed In the transparent
hail pellets. where the contrast OF color
quickly called attention TO them.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE q, 1899.

Casper Whitney is rapidly demo-
fishing the romanticism built up
around the ancient Hawaiiaus. He
says, in Harper's Weekly OF June
1st, The study of Ancient Hawaii
yields little that is impressive. Few
peoples have left less to indicate
early prowess, and none has left so
few monuments to suggest period
Of splendid, il savage, accomplish
ments. y They appear al
ways to have been an acquiescent
people, with no originality or es-
special force of character, and only
the industry born OF necessity" A
casual reader of the article may
readily trace the source of Mr..
Whitney's hastily acquired iuforma-
ton, which is neither as accurate or
valuable as his sporting criticisms.

The first number OF Austin's Ha-

interest to all. Clever comments OF
the topics of the day; an interesting
original story OF the editor; beauti,

A Brilliant Reception.

The beautiful premises at the FL y
tel Seaside Annex at Waikiki were
illuminated in brilliant manner
last evening when Colonel and Mrs.
Geo. w. Macfarlane celebrated the
silver wedding OF Consul and Mrs.
Henry ,Macfarlane, by gland re-
ception of Honolulu society.
Hawaiian musicians discoursed
sweet music during the evening, and
the genial host had secured the SER
vices of Madam Luna, who reflected
her sparkling rays in the calm vast
Pacific Ocean. 1t was thoroughly
tropical evening, and even the
kamaanas OF the nil admirari class
we're enthusiastic with the magnifi-
cent scenery and the beautiful ap-
pearance of the Annex.
In the main building the guests,
who numbered over 400, were receiv-
ed by the host and hostess aud pre-
sented their compliments to the
jovial "silver" bridegroom and his
wife. The cottages and grounds
were Lighted in an artistic manner
with colored electric lights and
Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and
the wind which was blowing rather
hard in the mountains sent only a
gentle zephyr across Waikiki and
not ripple was seen in the ocean.
Refreshments we're served during
the evening at small tables placed
on the lawns and lanais, and the
guests left promising to meet again
twenty five years hence, whe Henry
Mactsrlane aud wife will celebrate
their gi'i zen wedding.

and Cubans-Exccssivc Taxation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.--General NJ.
G. Butler was given hearing by the
senate committee on military Affairs
to-day In regard to the affairs In Ha-
vana. where he has been recently sta.
toned as one Of the evacuation COM
mission. He gave detailed account
Of the recent clashes in that city be-
tween the Spanish soldiers and the Cu-
bans. He expressed the opinion that
General Hrookes order forblddlng par
ticipation in the evacuation ceremonies
by the Cubans was necessary pre-.
caution, and that II 1t had not been Is
sued there would have been trouble.
The Spanish residents were exceedingly
nervous. At the same time he thought
the Cubans should be treated liberally,
and allowed to participate. to n consid-
cradle extent, In the conduct Of publlc
affairs. He believed the Cuban soldiers
could be utilized. and that II there
were an organized force Of such soldiers
under American command they could
be utilized in maintaining order, even
among the Cubans.
He dwelt at length upon the excessive
taxes imposed under the old systems.
As an illustration. he mentioned that
an importer OF 100 head OF cattle from
Mexico had to pay SCI per head on them
In the way Of taxes and dutieb.,
General Butler expressed the opin-
Ion that In time the Cuban people would
he capable OF self-government. but
that they should be given an opportun-
itv to quiet down. and get used to a
more liberal administration than they
had ever known. He said, In reply to
q question from Senator Carter, that a
census OF the Cubans would be advls-
able.
