DISCOVERS A NEW PROCESS
A Swiss Scientist Produces Oxyge,
from the Air by a Secret Method
of HIS Own Invention.

At dinner given by Henry b. Nc
Dowell at the Players Club, New York
to Raoul Pictet, Swiss scientist, oXy-
gen was produced from air by secret
process, used for the first time in this
country. The demonstration was
made in the presence of NJ. Bruwaert.
the French consul general; John
Brooks, a Boston capitalist; Edward
A. Sumner, who represented Sir Thorn
as Upton, and Maj. Gardenshire, a law
yer connected with the General Liquid
Air company. According to Mr.. Nc
Dowell it was perfect success.
For the experiment a simple appar-
atus, consisting mainly of copper tubes,
was used. Atmospheric air was taken
in at one end and at the other oxygen
was shown by the production of cal
cium light from the ignition of the
gas. Liquid air was employed in the
process.
M. Pictet asserts that with 500
horse power plant he can produce daily
100000 cubic feet of oxygen, 100000
cubic feet of nitrogen and 100000
cubic feet of carbonic acid gas. The
last named product will, it is said, pay
for the cost of the entire production
and the oxygen and nitrogen will rep
resent the net profit. AS 1000 cubic
feet of oxygen is estimated to be equal
In heating power to ton of coal, the
process is considered to be of great
value from a commercial standpoint.

DECLARES IT IS WRONG.
Rev Henry Frank, of New York, Sc
Thinks Regarding Reading of the
Bible in the Public Schools.

II denounce the reading of the Bible
in the public schools as unqualifiedly
wrong, unwarranted, and discredit-
able to our intelligence" said Rev.
Henry Frank, pastor of the Metropol-
itan Independent church, New York,
the other day. He had referred to the
recent arrest of a resident of the city
for refusing to allow his son to attend
II school where the Bible was read.
Mr.. Frank termed the reading of the
Bible in the public schools ian out
rage upon the constitutional rights
of American citizenship"
"The public schools" continued Mr..
Frank, "are secular institutions. Their
purpose is the teaching of science and
sound philosophy, common sense, and
practical ethics. The Bible, however
exalted work it may be, is, never
theless, religious text book
There are in this country millions
of taN-paSing citizens whose money
sustains the public schools, and who
don't believe either in the especial
sanctity of the Bible or in the par
ticular sectarian deductions which are
drawn from it's variously construed
texts"

MISSING CHILD RETURNS,
Emily Llmaholo Carried Off on Ke
Au Hou Through Carelessness.

The relatives of little Emily Lima
holo, who have been much worried over
the disappearance of the child for a
week past, are rejoicing on the safe re-
turn of the little runaway girl. Wheth-
err her weeks absence was intentional
or the result of carelessncss in remain
ing too long on board the outgoing
vessel does not develop.
1t is said that little Emily went with
n friend, Mrs. Johnnie Coakley, to see
her off on the steamer and that she
was directed by Mrs. Coakley to go
ashore. When the Ke Au IIou was off the
lighthouse 1t was found that the child
was still on board. but as there was no
time to stop and put her ashore, she
was taken along to Waimea, Kauai, to
the home OF Mrs. Coakley.
AS soon as the little girl was missed
her grandmother, with whom she lives
became alarmed and informed the au
thorities, thinking that the child had
been kidnapped. A warrant was sworn
out, charging n woman named Martha
with kidnapping. The warrant was for
warded to Kauai for service. but by
the time It reached there the little girl
was on her way back. She was
brought here on the steamer Kauai
Saturday and returned to her grand
mother. 1t Is said that little Emily
evnced desire to remain on board the
Kauai and not to return to her rela-
tives. The warrant of arrest is still IN
the hands OF the police.

lie of Hawaii. until the latter part of
the year 1898. have been taken over by

THE INDEPENDENTS.

Robert Boyd wants to know why, If
the native Hawaiians have the power
to run this country they should divide
II with anybody? The question is a
fair one and 1t deserves fair answer.
In the first place the natives have not
the power to run Hawaii. even though
they can poll a majority of votes.
While the Islands constitute a Territory
their sovereign Is Congress; and IL Con-
gress chooses TO do so IL can alter the
organic law even to the extent Of de-
priving any class of local voters of its
franchise. Congress gave. Congress
can take away; and while that condi-
ton lasts neither native nor haole can
reasonably say that he governs these
Islands.
Nov when Congress framed Its lib
eral suffrage II did so in the belief that
the natives were willing to accept the
responsibilities of American citizenship.
But what Is 1t going TO discover? Why
that the FIRST thing the majority OF the
Hawaiians did was to form an anti
American political party. vaguely
promising TO get even" with the white
man and supporting leaders who de-
ciared from the stump that they would
restore the Queen; a party refusing to
affiliate with either Republicans. DEM
ocrats or Populists and especially op-
posing and denounclng the Government
which the President OF the United
states. In the exercise of his appointive
power. has constituted here.
This party has named n ticket of one
color and has headed IL with a man
who, u he ever reaches Congress, will
belong TO neither party there and can
get favors from none. The Legislative
ticket. IL elected. will have opposed 10
~ both Republicans and Democrats and
the bulk OF the property interests. Can
not the Hawaiian Independents see that
these people will have more influence a,
\'Washington against them than they
can possibly exercise against these peo.
pieI For Instance II the Republicans
and Democrats were ever to memorial
lie Congress to restore the property
qualification to the suffrage Congress
would not turn from them to listen 10
the protests Of a body OF electors which
Is neither Republican nor Democratic
but anti-haole and anti-American TO
the core.
Now for Mr.. Boyd's question: why
should the Hawaiians divide?" The
answer Is to save themselves. Wise
leadership would guide the Hawailans
Into the ranks of the Republican and
Democratic parties where they w3ald
never lack for friends or influence. They
could control both parties II they
would: by going from one to the other
they could register immense majorities
az they chose: and the patience OF Con-
gress would have to be soreiy tried be-
fore II would permit any Republicans
or Democrats of Hawaii to lose their
pu6fage- But the course taken by
these independents simply leads them
to ruin and all The sooner so II they
win the overwhelming electoral triumph
"f the possibility OF which they boast.
