Siiould the U S S Charleston
continue to make the same progress
as ws reported by Capt Jacobsen
of the Consuelo during the remain
der of her voyage to San Francisco
ahe would arrive at that port on
Thursday evening or night The
captain reports having sighted her
on Friday at 3 P M when she was
69S miles on her voyage and just
72 hours from the bell buoy which
she passed at 3 v m on Tuesday
She had averaged then 232 miles
each twenty four hours or nearly
one third of the distance over It
is more likely that Admiral Brown
when finding that his ship was
likely to arrive in the night would
slow down and enter port early in
the morning of Friday Dec 5th
nine a half days passage

SHOAL OFF
POINT
BATtBERS
It having been reported lately
that a shoal existed off Barbers
Point the most southwest point of
Oahu H B M S Xymphe last
week cruised in search of it The
investigations made by her prove
conclusively that no detached shoal
exists in the neighborhood of
Barbers Point in the fairway
either of island traffic bound to
Kauai or the other side of Oahu
or in the way of ocean ships going
or coming between Honolulu and
Japan or China
One mile and a half from Bar
bers Point will take any vessel
round with seven fathems under
her j three quarters of a mile from
the breakers in southerly wind will
give five fathoms so any vessel
which touches ground must be
keeping too close in
The shoal supposed to have been
seen by the French cruiser Dubour
dieu must have been some tempo
rary ripple on the surface as the
spit is very steep from seventy to
eighty fathoms and no soundings
can be got with ordinary apparatus
any further out
CABLE PROSPECTS
Being just now desirous of re
awakening an interest in cable
matters we were fortunate enough
to mention the subject in conversa
tion with Hon Judge flartwell
who in compliance with a request
to that effect was kind enough to
supply us with the following
memorandum
While staying in Washington
last summer watching the action
of Congress concerning the sugar
tariff I availed myself of the oppor
tunity to talk with United States
officials and with members of Con
gress about a cable from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu
u I also obtained in considerable
detail and from trustworthy sources
information concerning the methods
adopted elsewhere for raising funds
for marine cables under the super
vision of and aided by subsidies or
grants from the various govern
ments in Europe in whose interest
many such cables have been laid
and are now in operation
The prospect for our cable
seems to me to be fair although I
doubt whether it is so likely to be
made by a British company from
Vancouvers Island to Honolulu as
many think it is
What England and Germany
particularly needis cable communi
cation from Auckland with Samoa
and the Fijis but with an Amer
ican cable from San Francisco to
Honolulu they might be quite
ready to join each other in laying
a cable from Australasia to Hono
lulu making friendly connection
with the American cable For
many reasons 1 believe such a
result to be more likely than 3ny
other and to be the coarse which
would secure the largest commer
cial and political advantages to
Hawaii
It seems to be conceded that as
an investment the cable cannot
pay and that it is only from a
national or international point of
view that any foreign government
ean be expected to sustain iV

OCEAN TELEGRAPHY
As events march now-a-days in
this final decado of tho nineteenth
century it cannot bo very long
beforo wo see the realization of tho
often proposed trans Pacific tele
graph cable from somo point
on the northwest coast of tho con
tinent of America to Australia To
effect this there must be sundry
stopping stations to subdivjdo and
reduce to manageable distances
the enormous space between the
terminal points Of these stations
this Hawaiian group must neces
sarily be tho first from theAmor
ican coast These islands linked
together the next great span will
be probably to tho Phoenix Islands
in about 3 deg South latitude and
171 deg West longitude from
thence across the Fiji archipelago
and thence to Auckland IS Z
From San Francisco to Hawaii is
2000 miles Honolulu to Fiji about
2S00 which may be divided in two
lengths to Phoenix 1700 thenco to
Fiji 1100 and then on to Auckland
isonlylOSO thus leaving the first
stretch of 2000 miles tho longest of
the whole and that not so long as
the existing cable from Brest to
Cape Breton or to Duxbury Mass
The depth of portions of the Pacific
where the cable must be laid is not
yet ascertained but there is no
reason to believe that it will
greatly exceed some of the depths
already traversed in the Atlantic
and Indian Oceans
We shall take occasion to refer to
this part of the subject in a subse
quent article
A historical sketch of tho pro
gress of submarine telegraphy is
most interesting Just fifty years
ago Professor Wheatstone drew
plans for connecting Dover and
Calais by submarine telegraph
Seven years later a plan was sub
mitted on behalf of Jacob Brett
the inventor and patentee having
the same object This however
was unfavorably received by the
Government of Louis Phillipe and
it was not till 1850 that permission
to make the trial was granted by
Louis JSapoleon In that year thirty
miles of telegraphic wire enclosed
in a gutta percha covering half an
inch in diameter were placed on
board the steamer Goliath which
started from Dover paying out the
cable as they crossed the channel
and the farther end was success
fully landed at Cape Grisnez and
messages were sent to and fro
between England and France This
cable however being imperfectly
protected or rather not armored at
all was soon cut through by a
rocky bottom and so the first cable
was by no means long lived In
the next year 1851 a stronger
cable was successfully laid and
communication established between
London and Paris This was the
year of tho first great International
Exhibition in London
Such was the beginning of the
now familiar cable telegraph
Singularly enough between two
and three hundred years ago an
Italian writer named Strada so
nearly described the electric tele
graph that it seems now almost
like an inspiration The whole
story is so marvellous that we
quote it literally from Addison
who writing in 1711 says
in one of his prolusions essays
gives an account of a chimerical
correspondence between two friends
by the help of a certain loadstone
which had such virtue in it that if
it touched two several needles
when one of the needles so touched
began to move the other though
at never so great a distance moved
at the same time and in the same
manner
He tells us thatthetwo fnends
being eaeh of them possessed of one
of these needles made a kind of
dial plate inscribing it with the
four and twenty lettersin the same
manner as the hours of the day
are marked upon the ordinary dial
plate
They then fixed one of the
needles on each of thesa plates in
such a manner that it could
move around without impediment
so as to touch any of the four and
twenty letters Upon their sepa
rating from one another into dis
tant countries they agreed to with
draw themselves punctually into
their closets at a certain hour of
the day and to converse with one
another by means of this their in-
Teation Accordingly when they
miles asunder
woro somo hundred
each of thom shut himsolf up in his
closet at tho timo appointed and
immediately cast his oyo upoft
his dial plato If ho had a mind to
write anything to his friond ho
directed his needle to every letter
that formed the words which ho
had occasion for making a littlo
pauso at tho end of every word or
Bontoncc to avoid confusion
Tho friend- in tho meanwhile
saw his own sympathetic needlo
moving of itself to every letter
which that of his correspondent
pointed at By this means they
talked together across a whole
continent and convoyed their
thoughts to ono another in an in
stant over cities or mountains seas
or deserts
This we take it is about the
most marvellous Prolusion over
penned by man and Strada with
out knowing it must have come as
near to the scientific wonders of
the present day as Friar Bacon or
tho ilarquis of Worcester or Bul
wer Lyttons Adam Warner The
lettered dials are very nearly tho
same as those used by Cooke and
Wheatstone before tho IMorso
alphabet swept them away Pity
that Franklin and Cavendish Yolta
and Galvani had not met with tho
rhapsodies of old Stradauwe might
have had electric telegraphs a hun
dred years ago

A Reply to Fair Tlay
Mr Editor In reading
P C Advxrtiser of
the
this morning
Friday December 5th Fair
Play gives quite a lengthy article
on oil impovtations and tests I
think Fair Play is entirely
wrong in his ideas or calculations
when ho says that kerosene oil at
100 deg Fahr is not dangerous
The heat of a healthy mans
is 98 deg and fever heat
hand
112 deg
Xow an oil that will flash only
2 deg above the heat of a mans
hand and 12 deg below fever heat
is not fit to use where life and pro
perty are at stake
1 consider such oil very danger
ous and I am very sorry to either
see or hear Fair Play make such
an assertion It Fair Play will
take a thermometer and place the
bulb against the brass work on the
bowl of a single wick keroseno oil
lamp he will see the quicksilver
rise to 106 deg or 108 deg and if
he will apply the thermometer to
the same place on a lamp having a
duplex burner the quicksilver will
rise to 112 deg ana perhaps more
The least gust of wind or even lift
ing the lamp quickly will drive the
flame down into the bowl and with
this low grade oil there will be an
explosion
Fair Play says he will defy
the Marshal fire officials or any
other man to prove that inferior
kerosene oil has been the cause of
any fire or conflagration in this
city or kingdom Mr Fair Play
they are numerous During the
month of May of this year alone
damage to the tune of S12639 was
done to buildings and propertyand
the insurance companies had to pay
out 136575 for losses by fire
caused by lamp explosions from
low grade oil and the insurance
companies will corroborate this
statement
The kerosene oil that caused the
fire at Mr Chas Dwighta house
flashed at 9S deg the oil that
caused the fire in Mr 1L P Rob
insons block flashed at 96 deg
the oil that burnt Levi Kaiamas
house on Richard street flashed at
94 deg I could enumerate a great
many more and likewise give the
names of the parties if Fair
Play so wishes and he can ascer
tain for himself There were two
lamps exploded simultaneously in
a ruuroau restaurant near
King street bridge the lamps that
exploded were nearly fifteen feet
apart and hung in brackets that
oil flashed at 98 deg
Fair Play says what was
done with it Answer It was
sent to San Francisco and consumed
in the regular way
Xow Mr Editor I wish to in
form Mr Fair Play that the
flash test in San Francisco for
kerosene oil is 110 deg and how
that oil flashing from 93 to 98 deg
ever got jioaiea on tne San ran
cisco market is a mystery to me I
am sorry Fair Play made that
remark as it throws great discredit
on the San Francisco officials that
they were either bribed or they
were not doing their duty
There is another thing I will say
here that if Fair Play is a fam
ily man I am confident that he will
not use kerosene oil in his hoase
that flashes at 100 deg or even 164
deg he will rather pay Ifty ceaU
tSJ
a caso more for oil at 115 deg tha
two dollars and forty cents cast
for oil that witf flash at 100 deg -Fair
jelay says Hawaiian Iegil
lation has gone to the extremes
tho 115 deg test and the dar poll
lie will have to pay for it witi
regard to tho test it is not too hi A
in this country The average tem- l
nnrnturo nf California for tk tm 91
r j ww
is 5S9 deg or thereabouts say 6
deg Tho test there is 110
Tho average temperature of Hono
lulu for oight years is about 74 detj
ISow taking tho difference ia tem
perature 120 deg is not too mack
With regard to the dear public
having to pay for it I woald in
form Fair Play that it only
costs 3 cents extra per gallon to
rectify oil that will flash at 139
deg compared with 190 deg
Now if a case of oil at 106
deg is worth 240 a case and
put 3 cents per gallon extra oa
for better refining that would
make a case 270 but there is no
person in Honolulu or the Hawaii
an Islands that would grudge 3 or
S325 for good safe oil
I thank Fair Play for the com
mendatory remarks he made with
regard to tho Marshakand Are offi
cials but at the same nine Sir we
are only doing our duty
Tours truly f
