THE WORLD
OF SCIENCE.

Rev. F. Lewis Smith proposes the
employment of phosphorescence in
photography under circumstances
which do not permit of the use of
ordinary light-in the case of the re-
production of figures from rare books
which may not be allowed to be re-
moved from the library to which they
belong. The use Of ordinary artificial
light is often prohibited in such cases.
Mr.. Smith proposes to coat piece of
cardboard with phosphOrescent sub
stance which is exposed to sunlight or
to the rays Of an arc lamp. This is
placed at the back of the engraving
which is to be copied. Then in front
of the engraving or page dry plate is
placed. The book is then shut for a
period of time regulated by the
thickness Of the paper used in it's
pages. This will vary from Is to so
minutes. The plate is then placed in
the usual dark receptacle to await
development in. the ordinary way
If films be employed in place of plates,
a whole series of reproductions may
be obtained from different engravings
in one book at the same time. Final
ly, if the phosphorescent card is
placed on a warm surface, the time
occupied in exposure of the plate may
be Observation-Disclosures.

In the course of a lecture delivered
at the Royal Institution of Great Bri-
tain DR.. Allan Macfayden, of the Jen-
ner Institute of Preventive Medicine,
gave some interesting facts relative
to the number of dust particles which
the air may contain. In an open Lon
ion suburb he found 10000 dust par
5icles in a cubic centimeter of air
equal to about 0.061 of a cubic inch
while in a yard in the center of Lon
Ion the number amounted to 100000

A SATISFACTORY CHANGE.

The dismissal of Charles Wilcox from
the secretaryship of the Board OF
Health has, for a long time, been de-
manded by the exigencies of the pub
lie service. Wilcox, who is a brother
of the Delegate, Is an incompetent, and
aside from this, he has been of late
working against the interests and per-
sonnet of the board that employs him.
The man also betrayed the interests of
the Republican party last fall, carry
ing tales to the Home Rulers and
working, without much attempt at
secrecy, for the anti-haole party.
We have heard that the Republican
Territorial Committee will join hands
with the Home Rulers In the effort to
compel Wilcox's restoration. The
Home Rulers want him in office be-
cause they know him to be good Bob
Wilcox man, and the Republican COM
mittee want him because he Is "a good
Republican" Both seem quite willing
to ignore the minor questions of his
competency and of the undoubted right
of the board to have secretary who
is acceptable to 1t. Despite the ten
dency of the Territorial Committee to
do unaccountable things we trust, upon
sober second thought, it will see the
propriety of letting this matter alone.
AS for the board it will, we trust, stand
by it's action. 1t has done what the
public interests required. and can bet
ter afford to breast the coming wind
storm than to retreat an inch.

LAND LAW SUGGESTIONS p

Congressman Shafroth said many ex-
cellent things in his interview yester-
day, but as he had enjoyed but a few
days time to look at the country, his
views were necessarily open to amend
ment.
We think that if Mr.. Shafroth We're
to balance public advantages he would
see that. while the small proprietor is
desirable to Hawaii, it would not be
profitable to withdraw productive leas-
ed land from sugar for the
sake of accommodating him. Forum
ately, there is plenty of room for him
on land not used for sugar so both the
large and the small proprietor might
work side by side.
Let US look facts squarely in the face.
1t is better for the general welfare of
Hawaii that all the land, capable of pro-
duclng such valuable product as sug-
ar. should be used for that purpose. The
yield would then be certain and the
profits large. To cut up a plantation
into forty-acre tracts would be to turn
over the most of it to minor and I'M
certain business where the white man.
assuming him to be the small pro
prietor, would have to compete with
Viz ShiicoC uidIhet-SdTQeneT, VINO
would undersell him. But is there any
assurance at all that the white man
would be the small proprietor? Men
talk as If the opening up of our public
lands would bring colonies from the
coast. 1t would. under the Hawaiian
land laws where white mans upset
price could be put upon an auction sale
or lease of farming acreage But
under the American land laws, any
citizen could rush in and pre-empt the
soil for nothing, as was done in Okla
homa, and as thousands of native Ha-
waiians and hundreds of native Chi
nese. not to speak of other races not
American by birth, but by virtue of
annexation, are on the ground ready to
jump, it is not likely that mainland
colonizers would take the trouble to
come.
What then would happen? Most of
the land would pass into the hands of
thriftless Hawaiian aborfgines. who
would be induced to exist on 1t until
they had proved up" whereupon the
land would pass for cash into control
of sugar corporations. In fact, the
land owners would probably hire Ha-
waiians to pre-empt for them. The
Chinese-Americans would also get
share, and our thrifty Portuguese
friends would be active. Where would
the born American farmer come in? He

could have his chance in proportion to
his numbers, but his numbers are small
and they would not be Increased much
by immigration. Sizing up the area
and the numbers of land-hungry resi-
dents who surround it, the main
lander would naturally conclude to
stay where he is and not seek an I'M
equal contest
Land not available for sugar ought
to go on the market in some way for
the small proprietor. There is a great
deal of hill country where fruit trees,
rubber trees, hogs, poultry. berries and
the like might be made to thrive. and
this, exclusive of the tracts which
ought for the welfare of the commune
ity, to be used for cattle, should be di-
vided into small farms. But it remains
true that if white men are wanted for
these. as they assuredly are, the Ha-
waiian land laws will do more to get
them than the American.

Judge Humphreys paper affects to

that, of the meagre seven who sus-

The unbiased bar was and is against
Humphreys. as a man who is unfit by
temperament and record in office to
hold judicial post. 1t has rarely
happened IN the history Of the Ameri-

has had such calling down from the

KAMEHAMEHA.

Kamehameha the Great, whose day
was celebrated yesterday, was a con-
temporary of Napoleon l, and man
who. in some of his public traits, re-
sembled the great CorSican. The two
had talents for making war in other
than the conventional ways, neither
being bound by the traditions of the
schools. The Austrians who con-
fronted Napoleon in Italy COM
planned that he violated every rule of
war; and the tribes of the leeward ISL
ands might have complained in the same
way of Kamehameha, who added white
men, cannon and armed sloops to his
lethal equipment on land and sea and
sent the simple spearmen to their
doom.
The Corsican and Hawaiian conquer

had a similar talent for the political
consolidation of territory. Napoleon
was not satisfied with the old France;
he wanted to extend it's frontiers, and
did so, over half of Europe. Kameha-
meha found a single island too small
for his native genius for governing,
and he conquered the Hawaiian group.
welding it into a stable monarchy, and
transmitting the crown, as the great
Corsican was unable to do, to his
descendants. There were five genera

ian throne.
Given a wider field, and Kamehame-
ha the Great might have been another
Hannibal or Genghis Khan. But the
sea encompassed and hemmed him in.
With his army Of warriors-he is said
to have had 10000 men when he in

From Glory to the Junk Pile

The value of cup defender after
she has won the Americas cup and
maintained the honor and supremacy
of Yankee boat building was aired In
the Supreme Court in New York the
other day. Like the .broken-down race
horse, the cup defender was RELOCATED
to the junk pile after she had outlived
her usefulness. William Stricken is
suing j. Oliver Iselin TO recover $500
commission claimed on the sale of the
Defender. Mr.. Stricken, on the wit
ness stand, said he had heard Mr. Ise-
lin wanted to sell the Defender for
junk, and he introduced M. Samuels &.
Sons, who bought the $4,000 boat of
two years ago for $1,000. The jury,
after a few minutes retirement, re-
turned a verdict for Mr. Iselin.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Interest Ate Up the pr,nc,pal.

Joseph Rend was telling a little CO.
terie of gentlemen at the Great South
ern Hotel a funny story recently mar
rated to him by Governor MacCorkie,
of West Virginia, says the Columbus
Dispatch. A colored man was telling
a white friend about another negro
who owed him 81 and absolutely refus-
ed to pay the debt. The creditor dun
ned and dunned him, but all TO no pur-
pose. Finally the creditor went to his
white friend, who is a lawyer, and
poured his tale of woe into his ear
Well" said the lawyer, "if he posi-
lively refused to pay you, what reason
did he give?'' We'll, boss, said the
,colored man, he said he had owed me
dat money fo' so long dat de interest

The Jockey Club treated the press
with small consideration yesterday, and
we hope for the sake of an accurate re-
port of the races that it will do better
at the two succeeding ones. The press
stand, instead of being reserved for
newspaper men, was opened to Tom,
Dick and Harry. and not more than
two writer's out of the local corps were
able to use the table. 1t may be added
that the table itself was too small to
accommodate the working force of five
daily journals, not to mention the
weeklies. AS the Jockey Club is in debt
to the press for continuous favors, We
trust 1t will see the propriety of here
after giving the reporters place to
see and write.

Telegraph wires Laid on Snow.

Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort says that, according to the ex-
periments conducted by Mr.. II. Jansen
on Mont Blanc it. is not necessary TO
erect poles for stringing telephone and
telegraph wires in snow covered coun-
tries. If the snow is several Inches
thick it serves as good insulator; the
wires can simply be laid down and be
ready for transmission or messages.
The consul general adds that similar
experiments with equally favorable
results were made on Mount Aetna.
