Stone Mirrors. — The Kilo pohaku of the Hawaiiaus were most ingenious. 

 Some native Narcissus admiring his face in some placid pool may have caught the 

 suggestion and, wiser than the beloved of Echo, instead of pining away for love of the 

 intangible image, devised a means of recalling this image at pleasure. Whoever may 

 have been the luck}- inventor, the results as we have them toda}' are certain well-ground 

 circular disks, less than half an inch thick, and of diameter varying as shown in Fig. 66. 

 These were not highly polished and do not in the least reflect when in a drj' condition, 

 so their properties would be concealed from a casual observer, btit placed in a shallow 

 calabash of water the dark background of the stone gives back a stifificientl}- clear re- 

 flexion. I have never seen any of these mirrors of other than circular form. The}^ 

 rapidly disappeared from use with the advent of European glass mirrors* and their 

 use was soon forgotten. In the native kahuna lapaau praAice they are occasionally 

 used as a cooling application to furunculi or other ulcerous sores, and for this use holes 

 are often bored near the edge through which a cord for suspension could be passed. 



* There is in the Bishop Museum a strip of "silvered" glass given by Vancouver to Kamehanieha, to which has been fitted a neat frame 

 of native wood : similar mirrors, but of smaller size, were attached to handkerchiefs by the Hawaiian women, nmch like the fashion of 

 attaching small mirrors to folding fans, once in vogue among white ladies.
