The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-12-23

The Bulletin says that the Sena-
tors reading OF its stars has con.
vincad him that it is the destiny OF
civilization to creep in and help
those people whose conditions are
needful Of improvement AS most
peoples are in that condition, destiny
seems to have imposed upon civil
ization pretty hard task. 1t will
be admitted that, in the abstract, as
matter OF right, one people has as
good right to judge OF the condi-
tions OF other peoples as any other.
There is no accepted international
standard which gives a nation which
stands upon it right to assume that
the conditions OF the peoples of
other nations are in need of i'm
provement. When one nation cor.
rects another nation, it's action is
based upon its power to accomplish
it's purpose. "A weak nation
never undertakes to chastice a
strong one. The weak nation may
think that the strong nation
deserves chastisement. but it's right
to administer the needed chas-
tisement depends upon its power. 1t
seems. therefore, that in the last
analysis the law OF civilization rests
upon the assumption that might
makes right. Looking the world
over, we find much reason to doubt
il what we call high civilization
would be conlusive to the happi-
ness of all peoples.

1t may not be generally known
that between 1893 aud 1898 our own
Rev. Serene Bishop assumed the
task of enlightening the Bulletin
and its readers on Hawaiian affairs;
and, as was the case OF the majority
OF the Congregational preachers, ap-
plauded the scoundrels who stole
Hawaii.

Life on Other Worlds.

Concerning the existence of life else
where in the universe, it is to be remem-
bered that the general physical condi-
ton Of an extra terrestrial body must
be taken with great caution as the index
Of the presence or absence Of living things.
The protoplasm of resting seeds may
withstand the cold of liquid air nearly
200 degrees centigrade below the freez-
ing point, or more than 800 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit. These seeds and
spores Of bacteria live and grow after
being subjected to temperature of 125
degrees centigrade, or nearly 260 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit 1t is thus to be
seen that terrestrial protoplasm is capa.
BILE OF an adjustment to a range OF tenn
perature of 1926 degrees centigrade, Or
nearly 600 degrees Fahrenheit In view
of these facts, it would be extremely rash
to say that complex masses of matter
constituting a protoplasm might not
exist at temperatures much above and
below those of the earth. The range OF
endurance would depend upon the liquids
entering into the composition OF the liv-
ing matter in question. The extremes
of temperature given above were pro-
duced artihcially, Of course. With the
exception of the heats Of volcanoes, Their
NAL springs and lightning flashes, they
are not produced on the earth's surface /;
and plants have had no opportunity OF
acquiring special adaptations toward
| the endurance of such extremes, says
Prof. D. T. MacDougal in the March
| Forum.
A temperature equal to that Of the sun,
where the elements are more or less sep
arated into layers, and where the mo-
lecular velocity is very great, would
form an absolute upper limit to life,
though the actual limit would be far be-
| low this point Absolute zero, or 273
degrees centigrade below the freezing
point, would form lower limit, though
periodic occurrences OF this tempera tut c
would by no means form barrier to life.
The presence OF an atmosphere, even in
termittingly is not necessary to life.
The respiratory or disintegrating
agent might be present in the substratum
or nutritive medium. Among terrestrial
organisms, tine anaerobic bacteria are
instances of plants which not only do
not need an atmosphere, but actually
perish in its presence, or in one OF its con-
stituents. and live deeply immersed in
the bodies of other plants or animals
with which their presence is always as
ISOLATED. The absence of a permanent
gaseous envelope or fluid medium, would
render impossible the development of any
but fixed forms, attached firmly in place
like typical plants. Such conditions
would be eminently unsuitable for loco
motor organisms resembling animals
although such types might exist by
means Of special adaptations for storing
the respiratory agent.

A Visiting Book.

1t is good plan for woman who has
many acquaintance to keep visiting
book. Here she can write the names and
addresses of her numerous friends alpha
betically. so as to be easy of reference.
When an acquaintance has an "At
Home" day the fact should be entered
on her page. Below a space should be
divided into two by line. and a small
mark put each time she calls or leaves
cards at one side. On the other mark
will show when you have done likewise.
In this way no muddle will occur, for
you will always know by glancing
through the visiting book who should be
called upon and when. If you have a
large circle of acquaintance, arrange
your visiting list SO that you NAV call
on several ladies in the same district on
one afternoon, tn us saving labor.

Floor Boring Machine.

Frank B. Hooker has just been granted
patent for a floor boring-machine,
which is without doubt the best machine
for the purpose on the market. 1t is for
boring holes in the hard wood boards
that are used in flooring and makes the
holes of a uniform size and distance
apart the entire depth, thus saving much
vexation and trouble for the carpenter.
1t can be attached to any matching
machine and drills the holes as the
boards are being matched, the drill being

so attached that it will move along with
the work while it is making the hole,
and the distance is so short that the
drill is not affected. AS will be seen by
the accompanying cut, there are pointed
brads on either side of the bit, which rest
on the tongue of the board and carry the
bit and spindle along with the work
while the hole is being bored, until it
rises to its position to make the next
mole. This is the only machine made
this side of Chicago which can be
attached to any hatcher or planer and
Mr.. Hooker will push the sale of them
