Difficult to Defend. The admlnlstratfon.press" is finding it pecu- liarly dif flcult- to ' defend jthe, /action of Gover- nor Gage In bringing " hlB suit ,against The Call in a small and remote ; precinct In Los Angeles County.— Woodland Democrat. 5 Governor- Gage has had his San Pedro libel suit against The Call postponed until Septem- ber — after the Stats convention. Meantime the accusation of /rhe Call stands that , the Gover- nor has stocked' his house with valuable furni- ture made lor" him in .'-San.Quentln Prison. • If the truth or;. falsity'.' of ' this, accusation is not to be tested t In t . the,' courts before the conven- tion, The Call owes' 1C to the 'public to present Its full .evidence in. the •- newspaper and.~the Governor 'owes It ; to; the ¦' public to make a square .denial i'or'. a circumstantial admission' and explanation, Qfjthe; facts' charged.

The City of New York was wrecked on North Head, San Francisco Bay, October 27, 1S93; the Rio de Janeiro went down near the Gold- en Gate, February 22, 1901, and the San Rafael went down in the bay December 1, 1901. No lives -were lost on the City of New York, 122 went down with the Rio, and 3 were drowned by the sinking of the San Rafael. ' • . . : NICARAGUA CANAL — Subscriber. City. The Nicaragua canal, according" to the survey, Is to be 170 .miles in length. It has been figured out that the canal will traverse 121 miles of rivers and lake, 22 miles will be in artificial basins. It will require 27 miles of actual excavation to make the connection between the "At- lantic and Pacific. Ifthe project is car- ried through Melbourne will be 1350 miles nearer to New York than to Liverpool Baltimore has undei consideration a plan to rid itself of the smoke nuisance by running all its fac- tories with electricity generated by water power, and it is probable all large cities will follow suit should it prove successful. The future of civilization prom- ises to bs wireless, horseless and smokeless, and per- haps it may eIso be noiseless. SHINE FROM GARMENTS— A. C. R., City. There are a number of prepara- tions which are sold for the purpose of renovating and taking the shine out of garments,, but many of these pro- duce only a temporary renovation. The best method is to put the garments in the hands of a professional cleaner. PILOT AND CAPTAIN— G. O., City. The captain of a vessel never loses com- mand of his. vessel though a pilot may be on board.. The instructions of the pilot are merely directory. The pilot is not "in supreme command from the time he boards the vessel until he leaves it." NOT FOR THAT QUARTER-G. K., Fort Casey, Wash. There is no premium for a quarter of 1853 that has arrow heads at the date and rays around the eagle. It is for quarters of that date that do not have these characteristics that a. premium is.offeredv PAINTERS' CANVAS—C. B., San Ra- fael, Cal. Any dealer in artists' materials will furnish the kind of size and filling that Is used for preparing painter's can- vas. Glue sizing is a preparation of thin glue used for filling 1 the canvas so that it shall present an even surface. DIVORCE STOPS- IT-Inq., San Jose, Cal. If a woman is divorced from a vet- eran who was drawing a pension from the United States, the divorce estops her from receiving the pension she would have been entitled to had she been his widow. So numerous have the fatalities been this summer that many of the Eastern papers are warning the public against seeking refuge under trees in the country, standing near electric wires in the city, or A single day recently furnished a record of five men killed in Georgia; one in" Chicago and two.in Syra- cuse by lightning. The Georgia -case is curious. The five men were killed by a single stroke of lightning, although two of them at the time were five miles away from the others. They were engaged in string- ing telephone wires. The electric current passed along the wire and struck them down at their work across that distance. ¦ .. . : ; .'»-rV:r;".^ < . Some of the results of the lightning have amounted to real catastrophes. In several instances churches have been struck when crowded with people, and many deaths have followed either from the lightning itself or from the panic that ensued. Those, how- ever, are exceptional cases, and the fatalities result- ing from them have been but a small part of the total list of deaths due to electric disturbances. Hardly a week has passed since the beginning of warm weather without bringing from the East one or more reports of deaths from lightning.- While they do not equal the number pi fatalities caused by sunstroke, they are sufficiently numerous to show that lightning is to be looked upon as one of the dangers that menace East- ern people at all times during the. summer. T "T 7 HILEthe people of California are enjoying \A/ about the most delightful summer weather » V the memory of the oldest inhabitant, those of the East are suffering from a season that seems to be perverse and fretful as a spoiled brat. When it is not afflicting them with one kind of bad weather it smites them' with something worse. The spring was unusually late and cold, and then summer came down with a blast of hot air that withered everything. There were floods and there were hail- storms. There were cyclones and there were hot waves. Now last, but not least in destructiveness, there has fallen upon that section of the country a series of electric " storms resulting in numerous fatalities. If the Governor has been wrongfully accused, his first aim should be to disprove the charge, leaving the punishment of his calumniators to a later date. By personally conducting or di- recting a. Justice's Court case he has detracted greatly from his own dignity. Not to put too fine a point upon it, he has made an ass of him- self, and for the hundredth time. — Sacramento Be«. -¦ - ¦ '¦ ¦ •'¦ ¦; . ¦ .• No libel suit Is needed to disprove The Call's statement in this particular. A straightforward and explicit denial from the Governor himself, coupled with any explanation that may be nec- essary, "would throw the burden of proof upon the accuser at the bar of public opinion. The only point of.Interest for the -public In the matter Is this: Did the Governor get costly furniture from- San -Queritln prison -for hia pri- vate home in Southern California, and. if so, did the State get proper compensation? Even in the latter case. It appears, there is involved a violation of law, as, the State has forbidden the Use of convict labor in.such manufacturing. The Governor has certainly suffered in pub- lic estimation by hiBv dest>erate efforts to force the trial of Spreckels 'and Leake.' before a petty Justice's Court In an" obscure little seaside vil- lage south of LosVAngeles.^ /In this" he has given a new illustration of 'the extraordinary narrowness and vlndlctiveness that are his chief characteristics. . vi. ¦;•¦.- , : .'-: Petty and Spiteful "Gagre. Governor Gage's prosecution of his' charges of criminal libel is. petty and spiteful to the last degree. His disposition to make trouble for Spreckels and Leake. rather than to gain a vindication for himself in the eyes of the pub- lic, should be manifest to everybody. The. pro- ceedings, as was expected, have developed nothing but a maze of legal technicalities and qulbbltngs, In which the original accusations against Gage have become obscured. LIGHTNING ROD LAND. PRODUCTS OF CALIFORNIA-S.. San Pablo, Cal. Olives, raisins, «navel oranges and quicksilver are among the products of California that are produced in com- mercial quantities which are not pro- duced in States east of the State line. A number of enterprising Western gentlemen are engaged in organizing a new party. for Bryan to lead in 1004, but what Bryan needs most is not something to lead, but somebody to lead him. ELECTION BOARD CLERKS — S.. City. Clerks of election boards are ap- pointed by the Board of Election Com- missioners. The qualifications for such clerkship is ability to read and write and to be quick and accurate. LADY BELL— A. R., Petaluma. Cal. The name of Lady Bell Copper Company of Del Norte County does' not appear on the list of mines on the market at this time. . . c TRACY'S CRIME-E. L., Berkeley, Cal. Harry Tracy, the fugitive from justice, ¦was serving a term of twenty years for robbery at the time he made his escape. Experimenting upon human beings is as a rule, a Tisky business, but in this case there seems no rea- son to fear any serious result to; the' subjects. The foods they are to try are such as are sold every day in the open market, and no food whose adulterations or sophistications are known to be injurious will be given them. When the results are made known the discussion of pure food -regulation will be much clearer than it is now. Moreover, the publication of the results will itself be ab'out as effective as astatut^.' When. once s the public is made aware that certain food articles are preserved or colored with dangerous chemicals the demand for those articles will . ecase to be sufficient to render their manufacture profitable. In commenting upon the work about to be under- taken Dr. Wiley is reported to have said: "Hereto- fore, unfortunately, most of the investigation: which' has been undertaken in this direction has been at the instance of the manufacturer or.¦.other.-interested.par- ties, so that the natural bias peculiar to the human mind has had to be taken into consideration in'ac- cepting the result. Through the liberality of Con- gress chemistry has for the first time been enabled to take up the study of this subject in a thorough and systematic manner, and will be enabled to sup- plement the investigations which have heretofore been made upon the subject of food adulteration. The results which will finally be obtained will be use- ful to our lawmakers, who will be able to form the statutes so as to secure the necessary precautions in the preservation of foods, while at the same time they will exclude positively' injurious substances." For the purpose of giving the foods a thorough test it is desired to try them upon human beings as well as upon animals. An effort is being made to get a number of young men to submit themselves to the tests. The plan is to get the subject in a good normal condition by the use. of proper food, and then give him a food containing one of the disputed pre- servatives, such as boric acid, for instance, and note the effect.' Every chemical preservative or coloring material whose effects are now disputed will thus be put through athorough test", and it. will then be pos- sible for the Government officials to report positively whether its use" should be permitted. , WITH the results obtained by the Govern- ment chemists in the examination of va- rious kinds of preserved foodstuffs offered in the market the reading public is fairly familiar. It Is known that a large number of such products are treated with chemical preparations either for the purpose of preserving them or for giving them an at- tractive appearance. Some of the chemicals used, are known to be injurious to the consumer. Some are known to be harmless. The effects of others are in doubt, and in order to avoid giving them a name which in itself would imply that they are injurious it has become the custom to refer to them as "so- phisticated foods." , Concerning them there has been a long controversy, and to bring it to a conclusion experiments under the direction of Dr. Wiley are now to be undertaken at Washington.

The resignation of Dr. Lawlor from the man- agement of the Home for Feeble-minded only precluded hia removal. Thus another of Mac- kenzie's schemes has miscarried. Dr. A. E.

Is this the case wltli Governor Gage? No! He could have prevented the unwarranted removal of the only man in the State of California adequately qualified to conduct the home. But he permitted the most unscrupulous of politicians to destroy- the work of years and Inaugurate a regime of cruelty and misrule that will require years to eradi- cate. This is a formidable accusation and will be one of the greatest influences against Gas* in his hope of re-election. — Santa Clara News. ¦ m ¦ Cage's Shyster Practice. with a treat display of wounded honor and purpose to punish Messrs. Spreckels and Leaks of the San Francisco Call for criminal libel. Governor Gage has not given much evidence of a desire to push the suit he has commenced: or perhaps more truly he has shown little, ifany, desire to have the evidence produced that would either prove him Innocent or guilty. . Commencing the suit against Spreckels and Leake at San Pedro* 600 miles away from the official records and the witnesses necessary in the case, bears a close resemblance to shyster practice. Governor Gage's law practice has Included much of the criminal kind and probably in- volved efforts to defeat as well as to admin- ister Justice, and he must have known full well that' Spreckels and Leake would use every aVaJi. able means to defeat the effort to force them to trial at San Pedro, iffor no other reason thaa to defeat what has all the appearance of shy- ster practice against them. They now have the case on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it will not be heard till after the election^ It seems to us that If Governor Gage feels sure that the official records and pertinent tes- timony would vindicate -him and convict Spreckels and Leake he would have made It as easy as possible to produce the evidence and encouraged its early production in court. This he has not done and voters will draw their own. conclusions.— Pomona Times. and Japan and 2400 miles nearer to Phila- delphia than to London. ' .-•-;- PENSIONS-A. D., Veterans' Home. Cal.

'¦'. After such assertions one would expect Mr. Vilas to urge the Democratic party to take the field against trusts and imperialism. It is therefore somewhat surprising to note that he does nothing of the kind. "We cannot undertake to redress all these wrongs at. once," says he, and so he advises that trusts and imperialism be permitted to go unassailed for a time. The first fight is to be for free trade. Everything is to be subordinated to the struggle to overthrow the protective system. That is the advice of the retired Cabinet Secretary of the Cleveland regime. Evidently the old tariff tinkers are joined to their idols, and since the Bryan revolution in the party has run its course they are fondly dreaming they can return and worship once more at the old shrine. Vilas watches the development of trusts with anxiety, and over the Philippines he mourns. He says that by reason of the first "liberty in the pursuit of a livelihood has well nigh disappeared." Of the second he asserts ''the shame must yet be wiped, off by future treatment of the unhappy Filipinos ac- cording to the principles we have inherited, or so surely as justice rules the world America will bitterly atone for it in resulting sufferings of her own." It is difficult to understand the mental make-up of a man who after the experiment of this country with the Democratic tariff can deliberately and sincerely write such stuff as that. Vilas wishes his party to break away from past issues, but by past issues he means the silver question. Surely Bryan might re- tort that free trade is as dead as silver. It is hardly likely the men of this generation will vote for another free trade administration any more than they would vote for free coinage of the white metal. Passing from that general declaration Vilas goes on to point out three evils in the country. The first is protection, the second is the trust movement, and the third is imperialism. On each of those issues the retired statesman has some bitter words to say. Of the first he asserts: "Under the false and deceit- ful name of protection to industry there has arisen such a system of combining devices of legislation with devices of business management to obtain mas- tery of the people 'as was never before seen in this or any other land, the iniquity of which it would be hard to find any parallel for, unless inoriental coun- tries." Vilas is stili a Democrat. He declares: "What- ever the alignments on past issues, the Democratic party remains to-day the hope of the people of this land." The man who could write such a declaration in the face of prevailing prosperity among the peo- ple, established upon legislation to which Democ- racy has been always opposed, must be a very con- firmed Democrat indeed. Even Bryan could hardly object to that statement, notwithstanding it comes from one of the Cleveland school of Democracy, and to the old conservative stalwarts of the party it must sound like the wisdom of the ancients. WILLIAM F. VILAS, whom some may re- member as at one time a statesman in of- fice, a member of Cleveland's Cabinet, has been asked by his fellow Democrats of Wisconsin to tell them what the party should do to be saved. He has responded to the request, but instead of the bread of comfort they doubtless hoped for he has given them something like a stone. His counsel is about as heavy and as indigestible as any yet given since the reorganizes of the party set about the task of formulating a platform of harmony and getting a leader to stand on it. MR.

'The old dress coat for enlisted men has been abandoned and the dress blouse substituted. The chevrons on the. non-commissioned officers are to be worn points up." The blue uniform has been' associated with Ameri- can history since ever this was a nation.

To wear it upon the field of battle wo.uld be not so much an act of heroism as of folly.

PERSONAL IMENT4ON. Satisfactory progress is reported on some of the battleships and armored cruisers building at Eastern yards, no- An armored cruiser of 3995 tons has been designed for the Swedish navy and a sum of SI, 750, 000 has been allowed for its con- struction. The ship will be- 377 feet 3 inches in length, 48 feet 10 inches breadth and 16 feet 1 inch draught. It will have engines of 12,000»horsepower, calculated to give a speed of 21^ knots. The armor, all of which is to be of Krupp steel, will be 3.94 inches for the waterline belt and case- mates, decks 1.97 to 1.46 inches and con- ning tower 4.91 to 1.97 inches. The arma- ment consist of eigh : six-Inch, fourteen six-pounders and two torpedo tubes. Fur- ther details are wantihg, but the utility of the vessel as a cruiser must be exceeding- iy limited, as the weight of the armor will necessarily encroach upon the allow- ance for coal and limit the service of the vessel to coast guard duty solely. Engine-room artificers and stokers in the British navy are at last receiving more favorable consideration from the Admiralty. Warrant artificer engineers have been, increased from 120 to 200 and are to receive from $2 12 to $2 62 a day and the entire number, of warrant, • petty and ordinary artificers has been increased from 2401' to 2546. The. stoker class has also been increased, from 21,963 to 22,927 at a pay varying from 40 cents to $1 24 per diem. • ¦ iThe armored 'cruiser Bedford of 9800 tons, 22,000 horsepower, and calculated speed of twenty- thre^e .knots, completed her thirty, hours' trial under, four-fifths power on June 20. With 246 pounds of steam and eighty-eight revolutions the en- gines', developed 16,005 -horsepower; giving a speed; of 21.2 knots. From this result it does not appear probable that the ship will reach a. bona fide speed^of twenty- three knots under, full power. Nine more of the Bedford type are in course of con- struction. , The battleship Exmouth, 14,000 tons, con- cluded her thirty hours' trial under four- fifths power. on June 16. With 113 revolu- tions' 13,774 ¦ horsepower, was developed, giving a speed of eighteen knots. .The coal qonsumption was 1.95. per. unit of horse- power. With 1 18,000 horsepower the cal- culated speed is nineteen knots. : •: The loss by the recent fire in the mold loft building at Chatham is estimated at $<o,000.

Up to within a few years ago thtre were two distinctive graduating classes at the Naval Academy, namely, those for the line and a smaller class of engineers. Of the upward of 1300 graduates during the past thirty years from May, 1872. to May, 1901, only about 10 per cent have graduated as stars, and the following table shows from what States and Terri- tories these few and exceptionally bright young men were appointed: Of the above star graduates credited to California, N. T. James graduated May, 1872, and resigned in 1874, since which he has resided in San Francisco. F. H. Holmes graduated May, 1874. followed by J. H. Glennon. May, 1873. Both of the latter are still in the navy, and it is about time that a California representa- tive should be among the stars of the Naval Academy. Russian ships are in a higher state of efficiency than those of any other navy. SOME ANSWERS TO QUERIES BY CALL READERS In the Russian navy the ships have to make annual full speed trials in order to ascertain their condition in this .essen- tial efficiency. Recent reports of six ves- sels indicate but a slight falling off in actual service from the trial speeds. The Navariri> built in 1891, made. 15.8 knot3 against 16 knots at her acceptance trial; the Sissoi Valiky, 15.6 knots against 15 knots in 1895; Dmitri Dousky, 14.5 knots against 16.5 in 1885; but the Edlnburgski, built in 1875, with a speed of 15.2 knots, has now come down to 11.75 knots. The Admiral Korniloff, a cruiser of 5000 tons, built in 1887 and extensively overhauled in 1895, still maintains her original speed of 17.5 knots, while the old Krelsser, a corvette built in 1875, has deteriorated from 13 to 11.87 knots. Considering the long service of these vessels the latest trials do not show so great a falling off in speed as might be expected, and it is evident that their long and continued commissions have been less hurtful to their efficiency than short commissions and long inactivity when laid up. Ifthe above figures are to be relied upon the tably at Cramp's. Since January 1. We, the Maine has advanced from 78 to SI per cent of completion and the armored cruisers Pennsylvania and Colorado from 13 to 27 and 15 to 30 per cent respectively. The Newport News, notwithstanding its facilities, is lagging behind, the Vorginla standing at 2 per cent and the Maryland and West Virginia- at 23 and 23 per cent. At the Union Iron Works the Ohio has advanced from 43 to 60 per cent cince January last, and the California and South Dakota, begun in February, are only 6 per cent completed. The battleship to be built at the New York navy yard is to be named Connecti- cut, and will be the third vessel bearing that name in the United States navy. Tie first was a paddle steamer of 1800 ton3, purchased during the Civil. War and sold in 1865. The second was a screw sloop of 4450 tons, begun at the Charleston (Bos- ton) yard in 1863 and originally namti Pompanoosuc, which was changed to Connecticut in May, 1869. The vessel was never launched, and was broken up on the stocks in 1883. There had been ex- pended $535,565 on the hull and $617,991 on the machinery, and only $825 92 was real- ized from the sale of the wood. The value of the material saved amounted to $1814 76 after deducting the cost of labor in breaking up the ship; leaving a net return to the Government of $2640 68 on the original outlay of $1,153,556. The mon- itor building at Bath, Me., was originally named Connecticut, but upon a strong protest being made by the citizens of that State against having so insignificant a vessel bearing the name of an important seaboard State it was changed to Ne- vada. , . * . It is a process that, once started, proceeds until the soil is destroyed. Palestine, to-day a desert, at the date of the Exodus was a moist and fertile land. Spain is arid, where in the time of Hannibal there was" abundant moisture and fertility. Such mis- sionaries as Dr. Fernow have no time to lose ifthis continent is to be saved from the fate that has over- taken vast regions in the Old World. Nothing seems harder than to get the attention of man to these subjects, which affect his very. existence. Dr. Fernow says, truly, a large part of the world's area that was fertile at the beginning of the Christian era is now barren, desert and unproductive, as a re- sult of man's destruction of the natural means of con- serving moisture. That process -is going on rapidly in this country. In the arid regions west of the one hundredth meridian it is officially reported that the desert is spreading at the rate of five million acres a year. The prairie States are becoming dry. Central and Western New York and other States formerly covered by timber now complain that agriculture suffers from drought. Dr. Fernow deals with the function of forests -in conserving the water supply. He should be followed by the hydrographers and agrostologists, who 1 ob- serve and deal with the same office.performed, by reservoirs and vegetation. water to destroy the soil which nature intended should be preserved and made fruitful by it. So it appears that the equilibrium of nature is equally disturbed by destroying forests, marshes and forage on the surface of the ground, and man causes On the plains, in the arid regions, where there are no forests nor swamps and marshes, the moisture was conserved by the low grasses and annual plants. These held the soil in place, prevented evaporation and their roots made the ground porous, so that the little rain penetrated it and supplied the streams and springs with a steady flow. The extirpation of this vegetation by over-grazing of sheep and cattle has made the country more arid, dried up the springs, and now the rains wash the surface soil into the streams. The steady flow of these is lost, and they are alternately torrential and dry. When erratic changes of temperature cause a pre- cipitation of moisture from the Great Lakes over that region it causes destructive floods, such as re- cently destroyed many millions in crops and other property in Iowa and Illinois. The reservoirs are no longer there to hold back the water, nor the nat- ural sod to conduct it into the ground, and the rain- fall that under natural conditions would be,benefi- cent becomes destructive. After this flood has passed it will be found that the great rainfall has not pene- trated the soil nor moistened the earth's crust. summer crops, Cultivation has destroyed the natural grass and its sod, and man's greed for land has drained the ponds, sloughs and marshes. When these retained the water it evaporated, saturated the air and supplied the mois- ture for the summer rains, which distributed it to the crust of the earth for the support of vegetation and the production of crops: Now that the reservoirs are drained and dry, the local summer showers are less frequent and the crust of the earth is drying out. The clay subsoil is no longer wet, and capillary at- traction no longer brings up its moisture for ttie The moisture for a great part of that region comes from the Great Lakes. When precipitated it* ran into the sloughs and marshes, ponds and small lakes, and much of it penetrated the soil through the sod of the natural grasses and made affluent the many springs which existed there in early times. Forests are soil makers and preservers. Their agency in preventing the flow of water upon the sur- face by leading it to penetrate the soil regulates the steady flow of streams and preserves the supply of springs. Their action is that of a reservoir for the conservation of water. But nature has not left man to depend upon forests alone as the instrument in the conservation of water. In the prairie States of the Upper Mississippi Valley this function was performed by the sloughs, ponds, marshes and small lakes which once abounded. They were supplemented by the natural grasses, which formed a turf and covered the soil. ••.'•'; DR. FERNOW, the forester, and head of the department of forestry in Cornell University, is spreading much needed information about forests and the necessity of their preservation... In a recent address in the Academy of Sciences in this city he stated clearly the relation between the soil and water and their prime importance to man.

Difficult to Defend.

The admlnlstratfon.press" is finding it pecu-liarly difflcult- to

'defend jthe, /action of Gover-nor Gage In bringing

"hlB suit ,against The

Call in a small and remote ;precinct In LosAngeles County.— Woodland Democrat. 5

Governor- Gage has had his San Pedro libelsuit against The Call postponed until Septem-ber

—after the Stats convention. Meantime the

accusation of /rhe Call stands that ,the Gover-nor has stocked' his house with valuable furni-ture made lor"him in.'-San.Quentln Prison. •

Ifthe truth or;.falsity'.' of

tion, The Call owes' 1C to the 'public to presentIts full .evidence in. the •-newspaper and.~theGovernor 'owes It;to; the ¦' public to make asquare .denial i'or'.a circumstantial admission'and explanation, Qfjthe;facts' charged.

'He has

as yet done neither .'f-^Fresho -Republican.

Sonnre Denial Is Demanded.WRECKS—M. C. H., City. The City of

New York was wrecked on North Head,San Francisco Bay, October 27, 1S93; theRio de Janeiro went down near the Gold-en Gate, February 22, 1901, and the SanRafael went down in the bay December1, 1901. No lives -were lost on the City ofNew York, 122 went down with the Rio,and 3 were drowned by the sinking of theSan Rafael.

NICARAGUA CANAL—

Subscriber.City. The Nicaragua canal, according" tothe survey, Is to be 170 .miles in length.It has been figured out that the canalwill traverse 121 miles of rivers and lake,22 miles will be in artificial basins. Itwillrequire 27 miles of actual excavationto make the connection between the "At-lantic and Pacific. Ifthe project is car-ried through Melbourne willbe 1350 milesnearer to New York than to Liverpool

Baltimore has undei consideration a plan to riditself of the smoke nuisance by running all its fac-tories with electricity generated by water power, andit is probable all large cities willfollow suit shoulditprove successful. The future of civilizationprom-ises to bs wireless, horseless and smokeless, and per-haps it may eIso be noiseless.

SHINE FROM GARMENTS— A. C. R.,City. There are a number of prepara-tions which are sold for the purpose ofrenovating and taking the shine out ofgarments,, but many of these pro-duce only a temporary renovation. Thebest method is to put the garments inthe hands of a professional cleaner.

PILOT AND CAPTAIN—G. O., City.The captain of a vessel never loses com-mand of his. vessel though a pilot may beon board.. The instructions of the pilotare merely directory. The pilot is not "insupreme command from the time heboards the vessel until he leaves it."

NOT FOR THAT QUARTER-G. K.,Fort Casey, Wash. There is no premiumfor a quarter of 1853 that has arrowheads at the date and rays around theeagle. It is for quarters of that datethat do not have these characteristicsthat a. premium is.offeredv

PAINTERS' CANVAS—C. B., San Ra-fael, Cal. Any dealer in artists' materialswill furnish the kind of size and fillingthat Is used for preparing painter's can-vas. Glue sizing is a preparation of thinglue used for filling1 the canvas so thatit shall present an even surface.

DIVORCE STOPS- IT-Inq., San Jose,Cal. Ifa woman is divorced from a vet-eran who was drawing a pension fromthe United States, the divorce estops herfrom receiving the pension she would havebeen entitled to had she been his widow.

So numerous have the fatalities been this summerthat many of the Eastern papers are warning thepublic against seeking refuge under trees in thecountry, standing near electric wires in the city, or

A single day recently furnished a record of five menkilled in Georgia; one in"Chicago and two.in Syra-cuse by lightning. The Georgia -case is curious. Thefive men were killedby a single stroke of lightning,although two of them at the time were five milesaway from the others. They were engaged in string-ing telephone wires. The electric current passedalong the wire and struck them down at their workacross that distance. ¦ .. .:; .'»-rV:r;".^ <

. Some of the results of the lightning have amountedto real catastrophes. In several instances churcheshave been struck when crowded with people, andmany deaths have followed either from the lightningitself or from the panic that ensued. Those, how-ever, are exceptional cases, and the fatalities result-ing from them have been but a small part of the totallist of deaths due to electric disturbances. Hardly aweek has passed since the beginning of warm weatherwithout bringing from the East one or more reportsof deaths from lightning.- While they do not equalthe number pi fatalities caused by sunstroke, they aresufficiently numerous to show that lightning is to belooked upon as one of the dangers that menace East-ern people at all times during the. summer.

T "T 7HILEthe people of California are enjoying\A/ about the most delightful summer weather

» V the memory of the oldest inhabitant,those of the East are suffering from a season thatseems to be perverse and fretful as a spoiled brat.When it is not afflicting them with one kind of badweather it smites them' with something worse. Thespring was unusually late and cold, and then summercame down with a blast of hot air that witheredeverything. There were floods and there were hail-storms. There were cyclones and there were hotwaves. Now last, but not least in destructiveness,there has fallen upon that section of the country aseries of electric

"storms resulting in numerous

fatalities.

Ifthe Governor has been wrongfullyaccused,his first aim should be to disprove the charge,leaving the punishment of his calumniators toa later date. By personally conducting or di-recting a.Justice's Court case he has detractedgreatly from his own dignity. Not to put toofine a point upon it,he has made an ass of him-self, and for the hundredth time.

No libel suit Is needed to disprove The Call'sstatement in this particular. A straightforwardand explicit denial from the Governor himself,coupled with any explanation that may be nec-essary, "would throw the burden of proof uponthe accuser at the bar of public opinion.

The only point of.Interest for the -public Inthe matter Is this: Did the Governor get costly

furniture from- San -Queritln prison-for hia pri-vate home in Southern California, and. if so,

did the State get proper compensation? Even

in the latter case. It appears, there is involveda violation of law, as, the State has forbiddenthe Use of convict labor in.such manufacturing.

The Governor has certainly suffered in pub-lic estimation by hiBvdest>erate efforts to forcethe trial of Spreckels 'and Leake.' before a pettyJustice's Court In an" obscure little seaside vil-

lage south of LosVAngeles.^ /In this" he hasgiven a new illustration of 'the extraordinary

narrowness and vlndlctiveness that are his chiefcharacteristics. . vi.¦;•¦.- ,:.'-:

Petty and Spiteful "Gagre.

Governor Gage's prosecution of his' charges

of criminal libel is. petty and spiteful to the

last degree. His disposition to make troublefor Spreckels and Leake. rather than to gain avindication for himself in the eyes of the pub-lic, should be manifest to everybody. The.pro-ceedings, as was expected, have developednothing but a maze of legal technicalities andqulbbltngs, In which the original accusationsagainst Gage have become obscured.

TRACY'S CRIME-E. L.,Berkeley, Cal.Harry Tracy, the fugitive from justice,¦was serving a term of twenty years forrobbery at the time he made his escape.

Experimenting upon human beings is as a rule, aTisky business, but in this case there seems no rea-son to fear any serious result to;the' subjects. Thefoods they are to try are such as are sold every dayin the open market, and no food whose adulterationsor sophistications are known to be injurious will begiven them. When the results are made known thediscussion of pure food -regulation will be muchclearer than it is now. Moreover, the publication ofthe results willitself be ab'out as effective as astatut^.'When. once s the public is made aware that certainfood articles are preserved or colored with dangerouschemicals the demand for those articles will. ecaseto be sufficient to render their manufacture profitable.

In commenting upon the work about to be under-taken Dr. Wiley is reported to have said: "Hereto-fore, unfortunately, most of the investigation: which'has been undertaken in this direction has been at theinstance of the manufacturer or.¦.other.-interested.par-ties, so that the natural bias peculiar to the humanmind has had to be taken into consideration in'ac-cepting the result. Through the liberality of Con-gress chemistry has for the first time been enabledto take up the study of this subject in a thoroughand systematic manner, and willbe enabled to sup-plement the investigations which have heretoforebeen made upon the subject of food adulteration.The results which willfinallybe obtained willbe use-ful to our lawmakers, who will be able to form thestatutes so as to secure the necessary precautions inthe preservation of foods, while at the same time theywill exclude positively' injurious substances."

For the purpose of giving the foods a thoroughtest it is desired to try them upon human beings aswell as upon animals. An effort is being made toget a number of young men to submit themselves tothe tests. The plan is to get the subject in a goodnormal condition by the use. of proper food, and thengive him a food containing one of the disputed pre-servatives, such as boric acid, for instance, and notethe effect.' Every chemical preservative or coloringmaterial whose effects are now disputed willthus beput through athorough test", and it.will then be pos-sible for the Government officials to report positivelywhether its use" should be permitted. ,

WITH the results obtained by the Govern-ment chemists in the examination of va-rious kinds of preserved foodstuffs offered

in the market the reading public is fairly familiar. ItIs known that a large number of such products aretreated with chemical preparations either for thepurpose of preserving them or for giving them an at-tractive appearance. Some of the chemicals used, areknown to be injurious to the consumer. Some areknown to be harmless. The effects of others are indoubt, and in order to avoid giving them a namewhich in itself would imply that they are injuriousit has become the custom to refer to them as "so-phisticated foods." ,Concerning them there has beena long controversy, and to bring it to a conclusionexperiments under the direction of Dr. Wiley arenow to be undertaken at Washington.

Cage's Shyster Practice.witha treat display of wounded honor and

purpose to punish Messrs. Spreckels and Leaksof the San Francisco Call for criminal libel.Governor Gage has not given much evidence ofa desire to push the suit he has commenced: orperhaps more truly he has shown little, ifany,desire to have the evidence produced that wouldeither prove him Innocent or guilty. .

Commencing the suit against Spreckels andLeake at San Pedro* 600 miles away from theofficial records and the witnesses necessary inthe case, bears a close resemblance to shysterpractice.

Governor Gage's law practice has Includedmuch of the criminal kind and probably in-volved efforts to defeat as well as to admin-ister Justice, and he must have known fullwellthat'Spreckels and Leake would use every aVaJi.able means todefeat the effort to force them totrialat San Pedro, iffor no other reason thaato defeat what has all the appearance of shy-ster practice against them.

'¦'. After such assertions one would expect Mr. Vilasto urge the Democratic party to take the fieldagainst trusts and imperialism. It is thereforesomewhat surprising to note that he does nothing ofthe kind. "We cannot undertake to redress all thesewrongs at. once," says he, and so he advises thattrusts and imperialism be permitted to go unassailedfor a time. The first fight is to be for free trade.Everything is to be subordinated to the struggle tooverthrow the protective system. That is the adviceof the retired Cabinet Secretary of the Clevelandregime. Evidently the old tariff tinkers are joined totheir idols, and since the Bryan revolution in theparty has run its course they are fondly dreamingthey can return and worship once more at the oldshrine.

Vilas watches the development of trusts withanxiety, and over the Philippines he mourns. Hesays that by reason of the first "liberty in the pursuitof a livelihood has well nigh disappeared." Of thesecond he asserts ''the shame must yet be wiped, offby future treatment of the unhappy Filipinos ac-cording to the principles we have inherited, or sosurely as justice rules the world America willbitterly

atone for itin resulting sufferings of her own."

Itis difficult to understand the mental make-up ofa man who after the experiment of this country withthe Democratic tariff can deliberately and sincerelywrite such stuff as that. Vilas wishes his party tobreak away from past issues, but by past issues hemeans the silver question. Surely Bryan might re-tort that free trade is as dead as silver. Itis hardlylikely the men of this generation willvote for anotherfree trade administration any more than they wouldvote for free coinage of the white metal.

Passing from that general declaration Vilas goeson to point out three evils in the country. The firstis protection, the second is the trust movement, andthe third is imperialism. On each of those issuesthe retired statesman has some bitter words to say.Of the first he asserts: "Under the false and deceit-ful name of protection to industry there has arisensuch a system of combining devices of legislationwith devices of business management to obtain mas-tery of the people 'as was never before seen in thisor any other land, the iniquity of which it would behard to find any parallel for, unless inoriental coun-tries."

Vilas is stili a Democrat. He declares: "What-ever the alignments on past issues, the Democraticparty remains to-day the hope of the people of thisland." The man who could write such a declarationin the face of prevailing prosperity among the peo-ple, established upon legislation to which Democ-racy has been always opposed, must be a very con-firmed Democrat indeed. Even Bryan could hardlyobject to that statement, notwithstanding it comes

from one of the Cleveland school of Democracy, andto the old conservative stalwarts of the party itmustsound like the wisdom of the ancients.

WILLIAMF. VILAS, whom some may re-member as at one time a statesman in of-fice, a member of Cleveland's Cabinet, has

been asked by his fellow Democrats of Wisconsin to

tell them what the party should do to be saved. Hehas responded to the request, but instead of the breadof comfort they doubtless hoped for he has given

them something like a stone. His counsel is aboutas heavy and as indigestible as any yet given sincethe reorganizes of the party set about the task offormulating a platform of harmony and getting aleader to stand on it.

Anarmored cruiser of3995 tons has beendesigned for the Swedish navy and a sumof SI,750,000 has been allowed for its con-struction. The ship will be- 377 feet 3inches in length, 48 feet 10 inches breadthand 16 feet 1 inch draught. Itwill haveengines of 12,000»horsepower, calculated togive a speed of 21^ knots. The armor, allof which is to be of Krupp steel, willbe3.94 inches for the waterline belt and case-mates, decks 1.97 to 1.46 inches and con-ning tower 4.91 to 1.97 inches. The arma-ment consist of eigh:six-Inch, fourteensix-pounders and two torpedo tubes. Fur-

ther details are wantihg, but the utilityofthe vessel as a cruiser must be exceeding-iy limited, as the weight of the armorwillnecessarily encroach upon the allow-ance for coal and limit the service of thevessel to coast guard duty solely.

Engine-room artificers and stokers inthe British navy are at last receivingmore favorable consideration from theAdmiralty. Warrant artificer engineers

have been, increased from 120 to 200 andare to receive from $2 12 to $2 62 a dayand the entire number, of warrant, • pettyand ordinary artificers has been increasedfrom 2401' to 2546. The. stoker class hasalso been increased, from 21,963 to 22,927at a pay varying from 40 cents to $1 24 perdiem. • ¦

iThe armored 'cruiser Bedford of 9800tons, 22,000 horsepower, and calculatedspeed of twenty-thre^e .knots, completedher thirty,hours' trial under, four-fifthspower on June 20. With 246 pounds ofsteam and eighty-eight revolutions the en-gines', developed 16,005 -horsepower; givinga speed; of 21.2 knots. From this result itdoes not appear probable that the shipwill reach a. bona fide speed^of twenty-three knots under, fullpower. Nine moreof the Bedford type are in course of con-struction. ,

The battleship Exmouth, 14,000 tons, con-cluded her thirty hours' trial under four-fifths power.on June 16. With 113 revolu-tions' 13,774 ¦ horsepower, was developed,giving a speed of eighteen knots. .The coalqonsumption was 1.95. per.unit of horse-power. With118,000 horsepower the cal-culated speed is nineteen knots. :•:

val Academy such cadets as succeed inobtaining 85 per cent of a possible 100 ofthe aggregate of studies and deportmentare designated as star graduates andtheir names are printed in prominentblack type. It Is an honor difficult toattain, and the star graduate is un-doubtedly well equipped for hi3 naval ca-reer after a four years' term at Annapo-lis. Up to within a few years ago thtrewere two distinctive graduating classesat the Naval Academy, namely, those forthe line and a smaller class of engineers.Of the upward of 1300 graduates duringthe past thirty years from May, 1872. toMay, 1901, only about 10 per cent havegraduated as stars, and the followingtable shows from what States and Terri-tories these few and exceptionally brightyoung men were appointed:

Of the above star graduates credited toCalifornia, N. T. James graduated May,1872, and resigned in 1874, since which hehas resided in San Francisco. F. H.Holmes graduated May, 1874. followed byJ. H. Glennon. May, 1873. Both of thelatter are still in the navy, and it isabout time that a California representa-tive should be among the stars of theNaval Academy.

Russian ships are in a higher state ofefficiency than those of any other navy.

SOME ANSWERSTO QUERIES BY

CALL READERS

In the Russian navy the ships have tomake annual full speed trials in order toascertain their condition in this .essen-tial efficiency. Recent reports of six ves-sels indicate but a slight falling off inactual service from the trial speeds. TheNavariri> built in 1891, made. 15.8 knot3against 16 knots at her acceptance trial;the Sissoi Valiky, 15.6 knots against 15knots in 1895; Dmitri Dousky, 14.5 knotsagainst 16.5 in 1885; but the Edlnburgski,built in 1875, with a speed of 15.2 knots,

has now come down to 11.75 knots. TheAdmiral Korniloff, a cruiser of 5000 tons,built in 1887 and extensively overhauledin 1895, still maintains her original speedof 17.5 knots, while the old Krelsser, acorvette built in 1875, has deterioratedfrom 13 to 11.87 knots. Considering thelong service of these vessels the latesttrials do not show so great a falling offin speed as might be expected, and it isevident that their long and continuedcommissions have been less hurtful totheir efficiency than short commissionsand long inactivity when laid up. Iftheabove figures are to be relied upon the

tably at Cramp's. Since January 1. We,

the Maine has advanced from 78 to SIper cent of completion and the armoredcruisers Pennsylvania and Colorado from13 to 27 and 15 to 30 per cent respectively.The Newport News, notwithstanding itsfacilities, is lagging behind, the Vorginlastanding at 2 per cent and the Maryland

and West Virginia-at 23 and 23 per cent.At the Union Iron Works the Ohio hasadvanced from 43 to 60 per cent cinceJanuary last, and the California andSouth Dakota, begun in February, areonly 6 per cent completed.

The battleship to be built at the New

York navy yard is to be named Connecti-cut, and will be the third vessel bearing

that name in the United States navy. Tiefirst was a paddle steamer of 1800 ton3,

purchased during the Civil.War and soldin 1865. The second was a screw sloop of4450 tons, begun at the Charleston (Bos-

ton) yard in 1863 and originally namtiPompanoosuc, which was changed to

Connecticut in May, 1869. The vessel wasnever launched, and was broken up onthe stocks in 1883. There had been ex-pended $535,565 on the hull and $617,991 onthe machinery, and only $825 92 was real-ized from the sale of the wood. Thevalue of the material saved amounted to$1814 76 after deducting the cost of laborin breaking up the ship; leaving a netreturn to the Government of $2640 68 onthe original outlay of $1,153,556. The mon-itor building at Bath, Me., was originally

named Connecticut, but upon a strongprotest being made by the citizens of thatState against having so insignificant avessel bearing the name of an importantseaboard State it was changed to Ne-vada. ,. * .

Itis a process that, once started, proceeds until thesoil is destroyed. Palestine, to-day a desert, at thedate of the Exodus was a moist and fertile land.Spain is arid, where in the time of Hannibal therewas" abundant moisture and fertility. Such mis-sionaries as Dr. Fernow have no time to lose ifthiscontinent is to be saved from the fate that has over-taken vast regions in the Old World.

Nothing seems harder than to get the attention ofman to these subjects, which affect his very.existence.Dr. Fernow says, truly, a large part of the world'sarea that was fertile at the beginning of the Christianera is now barren, desert and unproductive, as a re-sult of man's destruction of the natural means of con-serving moisture. That process -is going on rapidlyin this country. In the arid regions west of the onehundredth meridian it is officially reported that thedesert is spreading at the rate of five million acres ayear. The prairie States are becoming dry. Centraland Western New York and other States formerlycovered by timber now complain that agriculturesuffers from drought.

Dr. Fernow deals with the function of forests -inconserving the water supply. He should be followedby the hydrographers and agrostologists, who 1 ob-serve and deal with the same office.performed, byreservoirs and vegetation.

water to destroy the soil which nature intendedshould be preserved and made fruitful by it.

So it appears that the equilibrium of nature isequally disturbed by destroying forests, marshes andforage on the surface of the ground, and man causes

On the plains, in the arid regions, where there areno forests nor swamps and marshes, the moisturewas conserved by the low grasses and annual plants.These held the soil in place, prevented evaporationand their roots made the ground porous, so that thelittle rain penetrated it and supplied the streams andsprings with a steady flow. The extirpation of thisvegetation by over-grazing of sheep and cattle hasmade the country more arid, dried up the springs,and now the rains wash the surface soil into thestreams. The steady flow of these is lost, and they

are alternately torrential and dry.

When erratic changes of temperature cause a pre-cipitation of moisture from the Great Lakes overthat region it causes destructive floods, such as re-cently destroyed many millions in crops and otherproperty in Iowa and Illinois. The reservoirs areno longer there to hold back the water, nor the nat-

ural sod to conduct it into the ground, and the rain-fall that under natural conditions would be,benefi-

cent becomes destructive. After this flood has passedit willbe found that the great rainfall has not pene-trated the soil nor moistened the earth's crust.

summer crops,

Cultivation has destroyed the natural grass and itssod, and man's greed for land has drained the ponds,sloughs and marshes. When these retained the wateritevaporated, saturated the air and supplied the mois-ture for the summer rains, which distributed it to thecrust of the earth for the support of vegetation andthe production of crops: Now that the reservoirsare drained and dry, the local summer showers areless frequent and the crust of the earth is drying out.The clay subsoil is no longer wet, and capillary at-traction no longer brings up its moisture for ttie

The moisture for a great part of that region comesfrom the Great Lakes. When precipitated it*ran intothe sloughs and marshes, ponds and small lakes, andmuch of it penetrated the soil through the sod ofthe natural grasses and made affluent the manysprings which existed there in early times.

Forests are soil makers and preservers. Theiragency inpreventing the flow of water upon the sur-face by leading it to penetrate the soil regulates thesteady flow of streams and preserves the supply ofsprings. Their action is that of a reservoir for theconservation of water. But nature has not left man

to depend upon forests alone as the instrument in theconservation of water. In the prairie States of theUpper Mississippi Valley this function was performedby the sloughs, ponds, marshes and small lakes whichonce abounded. They were supplemented by thenatural grasses, which formed a turf and covered thesoil. ••.'•';

DR.FERNOW, the forester, and head of the

department of forestry in Cornell University,is spreading much needed information about

forests and the necessity of their preservation... In a

recent address in the Academy of Sciences in thiscity he stated clearly the relation between the soiland water and their prime importance to man.
