TTESDAY MARCH 16, 1886.
We must say that we do not
why the Press was refused a
passenger list last night at the suggestion
of one of the employees of the
Advertiser simply to favor a weekly
newspaper nor do we care, as we are
generally able to keep even
Among the numerous resolutions
passed by the National Board of Trade
in Washington City is one which urges
upon Congress the importance of passing
stringent laws in order to prevent
the "under-valuation of merchandise,
imported into the United States, and,
the prevention of damage allowance
frauds."
The appropriateness of adopting the
cental system, representing one
dred pounds avoirdupois, in the United
States will be brought before Congress
during the-present session. The cental
system is already current in the city of
Liverpool and throughout the Pacific!
Coast States, andwill more than likely
be approved and recommended for
general adoption as the btandard for
grain measure.
This is the way it is done ; just as
it was in the case ol the Prison supplies j
it is put up so that one, man always
draws' the fat card the modus operandi
alone differs. For an explanation pf
this puzzling puzzle see an article, or
report rather, headed "Tenders for
. Lighting the Streets " in yesterday's. Ad
vertiser. The enigma is not so deep as
Indian necromancy; when the intelligent
reader runs against the name of a map
who figured under the style and mat),
tier of E, C. Fishbournc in the recerit
Prison supply case, which attracted
some attention at the time. It was
quite unnecessary for the Government
organ to attempt to explain the " pit
up job " in the following pawgraph :
.'The contract wits awarded to Geo. C.
Strateme)er, who informed the Minister that
he regretted his inability to begin the service
at the time specified (March 15, 1S86), as lie
could not obtain the necessary material in
Honolulu, the nearest source of supply being
011 r rauciikcu, jjc was tuiiactjucmiy, iyr
force of circumstances, compelled to decline
the a,ward. v Mr. Fishbourne, the next lowest
bidder, Vas then communicated with, the contract
accptcd, and the service begins with thfs
evening.
It was quite unnecessary to thus explain
the fraud, we say, because nobody
excepts fool (good old Celtic is
this word) or a Government supporter,
whjch some people allege is a synonymous
term, could be gulled by such
buncombe in the face of the facts. Th,e
"By-Authority" notice was published
February 8th and the bids were opened
on March 13th. The notice stipulated
that the contract was to commence
on the 15 th of March and continue
three years. The lamps arc
lighted, with gasoline The gasoline
must be imported by the successful
bidder, unless he Is able to put up a
corner in oil as the Government is in
bids. The successful bidder has exactly
thirty-six days from the publication
of the notice until he commences
to light the lamps; during this time he
must e awarded the bid and get his
oil from San Francisco. Under the
teigw4qfjhe notjce.hejias, exac'Jy two
days in which to get his oil from San
Francisco to Honolulu unless he has
a corner in oil as the Government has
in bids- Go to, poor tricksters 1 ye
artj.but sorry knaves, yet ye do overreach
yourselves when ye assume that
the public is playing fool to your official
knavery.

THE "MARAROA."
Tho Eastern Crisis
London, March 1.
The parleying which has been carried
on for some time between the great
Powers, concerning affairs in the
Balkan Peninsula, still continues, but
so far no definite result has been attained
Bulgaria and the Porte have agreed
to waive the projected defensive
alliance which formed part of the
scheme put forward by Turkey, but the
Russian Government now takes objection
to other portions of the arrangement
Constantinople, February 28.
The ncgotations between the representatives
, of Servia andt Bulgaria, who
rriet at Bucharest to discuss the terms
of settlement, are now at a complete
standstill, each of the delegates abiding
by his own interpretation of the wording
of the Treaty of Berlin.
The term of the armistice between
Bulgaria and Servia having now expired,
the Roumelian forces are now
moving northwards.
Riots
London, February 28.
The operatives in the factories of
Messrs. JNcttieiord and Lo,. scriw

consequence.
Prosecution of Socialist Iioadors.
London, February 28.
The Socialist leaders who were re
manded from Wednesday last were
further examined before the magistrate
yesterday. They called several wit
nesses for their defence, including Sir
Edward Henderson, Commissioner of
Police at the lime of the outbreak.
Acoldent to tho Gorman Emperor.
London, February 28. The Em

etiects of a fall.
Tho Earth nml tho Moon.
Once upon a time, many millions of
years ago, the Earth and Moon,' then
young, hot and plastic, were very near
each other, revolving around their com
mon center of gravity once in from
three to six hours, and also whirling
on their axes in the same time, so as to
keep always Probably at
sjme time before this they had formed
a single mass, which on account of
some unevenness of density or figure,
separated into two under the rapid ro
tation. But starting from the condition
first named when day and month were
equal and each about four hours long,
Mr. Darwin has shown that it is essen
tially an unstable state of affairs, and
that if the Moon were brought ever so
little nearer to the Earth, it would then
draw closer and closer with ever-in
creasing speed, until at last it would rejoin
the parent mass; but if, on the
other hand, its distance from the Earth
were ever so slightly increased, then it
would bcein to recede, and would
slowly withdraw farther and farther
from the Earth. As it recedes both
day and month will lengthen: the
month at first most rapidly and then
the day, until finally, in some far dis
tant future, a condition of stable equilibrium
will be attained when day and
month will again equal each other, the
period then being something less than
sixty of our present days, and the corresponding
distance of the Moon about
60 per cent greater than at present.
After that, so far as their mutual interaction
is concerned, there will be no
farther change, but mother and daughter
will live forever happily apart.
Professor Young, in Princeton Review.
Burmoso Ponies.
The famous Burmese ponies are not
Burmese at all, but Shan, and are
brought down from the confines of
China, some 400 or 500 miles beyond
our frontier. They are very sure-footed,
and many of them are perfectly beautiful
in symmetry. They are speedy for
their size, and wonderful jumpers;
they are very docile, for they are like
the pure Arabs handled from their
birth, and only require shoeing when
brought upon the macadamized roads.
They have a good deal of Arab blood
in them, too, for a bhan has as keen an
eye for a horse as a Yorkshireman, and
many of them purchased officers Arab
chargers in days gone by, and took them
to their own country. The ordinary
Burman pony is very like the "tat" of
India, but they get through a lot of
work, and a Burman will perfer one of
his own breed to thatof the
ably because they cost a tenth of what
is asked for the latter ; but they are
hardier, and will live where a Shan nonv
would ttvrve. The saddles, bridles
and strrups in use among the Burmese
are very peculiar. A Burman rides
principally by balance ; the knees are
well away from the saddle, and when
necessary they hold on by their heels.
Only the great toe is inserted in the
stirrup. Ungainly and unsafe as appears
their seat, they oet over the
ground wonderfully well and seldom fall
off. The ponies are'all taueht to amble.
and a good pacer will fetch a long price.
All the Year Round.
A Now Muslool Instrument.
The "Pyrophone" is the latest
musical invention. It is a novel instrument,
constructed to make music
from gas. Its compass is three octaves
with a keyboard, and it will be
played in the same manner as an organ,
It has thirty-seven glass tubes, in which

DAILY HONOLULU PRESS, TUESDAY, MARCH io 1886.
a number of gas jets burn. These
jets, placed in circles, contract and ex
pand like the fingers of a hand.
When the small burners separate
the sound is produced; when they
close together the sound ceases. "The
tone depends upon the number ot the
burners and the size of the pipes in
which they burn, so that, by a careful
arrangement and selection, all the
notes of the musical scale may be produced
in several octaves. Some of
the glass tubes in which the jets burn
are nearly eleven feet high. When the
"Pjrophone is played upon with the
keyboard it gives out a rich, full tone
of remarkable delicacy, and to a great
extent resembling the human voice.
Yankee Doodle. Numerousclaims
to the authorship and birthplace of this
soul-stirring signal in song have been
made since the nation first Svoke to her
importance, and ever since then some
native Americans have stoutly asserted
that the song is not an American one;
notably the accomplished Duyckinck
mothers, m their popular "Cyclopedia
of American Literature." These genial
ficntlemen claim the sontr and its
rnythm for Holland, and print "Yankee
didel dudel down, didel dudel lanter"
as having been in vogue in Dutchland
years and years ago, and was the refrain
of the Dutch garden-sauce planters and
gatherers before Columbus thought of
the New World. N. Y. Mail and
