Snuff taking was practically un-
known In England until 1902. In
that year Sir George Rookie burned
the French and Spanish shipping
anchored in the port Of Vigo and
sacked the town. Besides large
quantities Of bullion and jewels, his
booty included fifty tons Of the fin
est snuff, which was brought to
England and thrown on the market
at very low price. This novel form
Of taking tobacco rapidly caught on,
and in a few years the snuffbox had
to q large extent ousted the pipe.
Connoisseurs used to accumulate
special blends Of snuff, as nowadays
they hoard choice cigars. When
George ". died the contents Of his
snuff cellar were sold for 94O0.-

IN me House Or LORDS.


There is no rule against a dozen
peers, or the entire peerage for that
matter, rising and addressing the
lord chancellor at the same time.
The lord chancellor has no power to
select the peer who shall speak. A
lord chancellor's leg may be pulled,
we imagine, but his eye can never
be caught. For all he can do, two
peers wishing to address the house
and refusing to give way one to the
other could stay on their feet until
one Of them dropped from exhaus-
ton.
This is no exaggeration. Within
living memory two peers engaged in
an adventure which at first threat
ened to develop into a firing down
contest after the manner Of Gold
smiths dancers. It happened in
1884 on a warm July day and was
very entertaining while it lasted.
The two were Earl Granville and
Lord Cairns. Both rose simultane-
ously to speak. The two peers stood
facing each other at the table, and
each tried to speak, while their par
tisans kept shouting "GranvilleP'
and "CairnsF in an aristocratc
manner. Lord Selborne sat on the
woolsack helpless. The scene might
have lasted until either Earl Gran
vile OF Lord Cairns had fallen
had not Lord Beauchamp /
earned immortal fame BY creating a |
precedent in the house Of lords. He |
moved, in tone Of anger, that Lord
Cairns be heard, and Lord Cork, in I
/ similar tone, moved that Lord
Granville be heard.

MEETING TO BE HELD
IN NEW LIBRARY Y

In comparatively few days the holi-
days will be over and interest in what
will come before the next legislature
for action will again become of added
importance to citizens who have the
well-being of the city and Territory in
view. Among these problems will be
that of new charter for Honolulu, one
which will include commission form of
government, although of exactly what
form of commission is the interesting
question at this time.
While no meeting of the charter COM
mittee organized by the Governor has
been called as yet by Vice Chairman
Wilder, the charter committee of the
CIVIC federation has gone ahead to make
arrangements for the mass meeting Of
the members of the civic federation, and
all others interested in the matter, for
January IA, next
Immediately after Christmas there
will be sent out by the committee 1000
pamphlets containing Prof. w. A.
Bryan's address before the Church
Club recently. This address embodies
clear exposition of many of the pres
ent forms OF commission government in
various cities of the mainland, also with
some original ideas of his own. All re.
ceiving this pamphlet are asked to read
it carefully and attend the federation
mass meeting prepared to act and, pos
sbly, vote on the subject matter, in
case action is taken.
Mr.. Lewis, trustee for the library, has
kindly arranged for the federation Is
meeting to be held in the new audi
torium of the Library of Hawaii. 1t
will be the first public meeting to be
held in the auditorium and will be q
sort of dedication of it to municipal
affairs by meeting solely on municipal
affairs.
Action on the drafting of charter
showing the alleged best form of com
mission government for Honolulu has
been postponed by the subcommittee OF
the main charter committee until after
the holidays.

CANDIDATES FOR
SOME HIGH JOBS
McCandless Reported Anxious
to Get His Men in Federal
and City Places.

Now comes new candidate for United
States district attorney under the Dem
ocratlc administration in the person of
Noa L.. Aluh, who, it is said, is be-
ing backed for the position by the Nc
Candless Hawaiians in the Democratic
county committee, and who is said to
have the support of Link himself, be-
cause of the latter IS fear that if Jim
Coke secures the place he will have
the leadership of the party, whereas
Link aspires to the title of ''Big
Chief himself
The fact that Aluli is candidate, it
is said, first became apparent at a
meeting of the Democratic county com
mittee last Thursday, when a resolution
was introduced endorsing Coke for the
place.
To the surprise of the Coke adherents,
opposition to the resolution appeared
among the Hawaiian members of the
committee, whom McCandless claims to
control. Nevertheless Coke was endors-
ed, but investigation among the Ha-
waiians, it is said, disclosed the fact
that Alui had been busy waging a cam
paign for himself on the ground that
as the Hawaiians constituted the prln-
cipal voting strength of the Islands
they Were entitled to good political
job, such as the district attorneyship
and that they considered that Noa Alu-
ii, as a lawyer, was the man for the
place. They pointed out that the Ha-
waiians have practically no representa-
ton on the new board of supervisors
and consequently their faction must be
awarded a large federal plum to bal
ance things.
Jim Coke received the endorsement
of the committee after a discussion and
ballot which indicated that the Nc
Candless faction on the county commit
tee is losing in strength, due it is as
serted, to various far fetched resolu-
tions introduced and passed by that
faction, and which have aroused indig-
nation among those Democrats who are
interested in the success of the party
in its administration of civic and ter
ritorial affairs.
The apparent approval by members
of the McCandless bunch in the county
commm1ttee of the application of
James Pierce, chauffeur, for the posi-
ton of chief of the fire department to
succeed Thurston has done much, it is
said, to weaken the following of the
defeated candidate for Delegate.
Pierce, it seems, bases his application
on his ability to crank an automobile
successfully, and to drive it at the risk
of life and limb afterwards. He has
been involved with the authorities, ac-
cording to reports, once or twice for
reckless driving of the machines he
vast hired to pilot,

Goo Tai Chong, the fugitive employe
Of tine First National Bank, will be

torney. This in addition to Attorney
Joseph Lightfoot, who has reached
Kobe to aid in the defense of Chong
on charges of embezzling many thou
sands of dollars from the bank which
employed him.
A cablegram received from Mr..
Lightfoot yesterday, gave the news of
his arrival and the engaging of another
attorney in behalf of Chong, indicating
that the latter has a goodly supply of
money with which to pay for his de-
fense.
Chong's peculations, it is said, will
amount to far more than the $4,000
charged in the Indictment 1t was re-
ported on the street here yesterday that
the investigation carried on by the
bank has disclosed shortage of $4,000

that Chong confessed in Kobe to steal
ing $4,000 which he said he had spent
for cinematograph films and had sent
them to China.
The failure of the Japanese police to
arrest Chong at Yokohama is ascribed
by them to the effectiveness of the APP
plication for his arrest as made from

cancani Dynamical Scale of seis-

#Acceleration in millimeters per sec
ond per second.
1t is to be noticed that grade is
ordinarily the minimum perceptible in
tensity: and that in grade IL the ac-
celeration reaches that of terrestrial
gravitation.
why Earthquakes Damage.
Now for the meaning of the term ac-
celeraton: by this is meant the rate
of change of speed in the motion of vi
bration of earth particles. After a lit
tie thought it will be obvious that it is
not either rapid motion of the earth
particles nor a slow motion which pro-
duces the iarring sensation of an earth
quake, the overturning of objects or
the wrecking of structures; because, for
example, there is no effect of this sort
in rapidly moving train, nor in any
vehicle moving with slow uniform
speed-but it is a sudden rapid change
from very slow speed or from rest at
one instant to relatively rapid speed
the instant following, or vice versa.
1t is change of speed bringing inertia
into play which produces earthquake
phenomena: and the rate of change of
speed, usually measured in millimeters
per second per second, is the accelera-
ton. The Cancani scale depends upon
sufficiently accurate measures of this.
Minor Shocks Measured.
The first of the earthquakes measured
this week was not registered by the
major tromometer owing to a slight ac-
cdent to the writing index of this in
strument. Consequently the time Of
its occurrence and the character of this
shock are indeterminate. Though very
feeble it had sufficient strength to set
off the ordinary seismograph starting
mechanism. 1t occurred in the night
hours December 1916.
The second and third were registered
as follows:
