convict clothing were found in the office with the rifle from which it is believed the fatal shot was fired Ignorance and Jobbery generally control the work and go hand In hand The first necessity of road reform Is skilled direction and supervision of all road work Hoad making is an art requiring study and knowledge and the average County Supervisor knows nothing whatever about It With skilled 000 line In the fiscal year which ends June 30 1900 PRESSED The making of fuel briquettes from peat and petroleum Is destined It Is believed to become a more and more Important commercial Industry The fact has been abundantly established It Is claimed that by properly draining peat mosses before cutting the density of the turf blocks can be increased fully 50 per cent without resorting to artificial pressure It being also asserted that the hygroscoplclty of the mass can be reduced ito a minimum and Its heating power being greatly Increased by impregnating with fatty materials petroleum being the cheapest among these GOLD California gold dredging Is a profitable form of gold mining The Feather River dredgers near Oroville are credited with a daily profit each of from $100 to $150 FINENESS OF Twenty-four carat gold Is pure gold 22 carat gold has 22 parts of gold 1 of silver and 1 of copper 18 carat gold has 18 parts of pure gold and 3 parts each of silver and copper In Its composition 12 carat gold Is half gold the remainder being made up of 3 parts of silver and 8 parfs copper FOREIGN No feature of the marvellous growth of our foreign commerce Is more striking than that relating to exports of Iron and steel The total foreign commerce of the United States in the year Just ended has for the first time crossed the $2-000000000 line and the total exports of manufactures of iron and steel have for the first time crossed the $100000000 line In the calendar year IS00 the total exports of Iron and steel amounted to $27000000 and In 1800 they were $105 080 045 Meantime the importations of manufactures of Iron and steel have decreased with nearly equal rapidity the importations of 1S0I) being $44544140 and those of 1899 $15799-200 One especially striking feature of this rapid growth In our exportations of manufactures of Iron and siteel Is the fact that European countries are taking largely from us in these lines LAKES TO The latest movement In the direction of an Improved waterway between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico Is afoot In Ohio This looks to the Immediate Improvement of the old Miami and Erie Canal which runs from Cincinnati on the Ohio River to Defiance on the Maumee and tlience to Toledo and Lake Erie One Cincinnati paper sees great promises of improved local business If the canal is widened and deepened so that It is a waterway worthy the name between the Ohio River and Lake Erie The improvement would Include the construction of a fine harbor so-called at Cincinnati where boats might transfer their cargoes to river craft for distribution at Ohio and Mississippi River and Gulf points the deep oceanic soundings axe scattered over the different ocean basins In Varying proportions that they are now most numerous in the North Atlantic and Southwest Pacific The general tendency of recent soundings Is to extend the area with depths greater than 1000 fathoms and "to show that numerous volcanic cones rise from the general level of the flocr of the ocean basins up to various levels beneath he sea surface Considerably more than half of the sea floor lies at a depth exceeding 2000 fathoms or more than two geographical miles On the Challenger charts all areas where the depth exceeds 3000 fathoms have been called and distinctive names have been conferred upon them Forty-two such depressions are now known twenty-four In the Pacific Ocean three In the Indian Ocean fifteen In the Atlantic Ocean and one in the Southern and Antarctic Oceans The area occupied by these deeps is estimated at 7152000 geographical square miles or about 7 per cent of the total water surface of the globe Within these deeps more than 250 soundings have been recorded of which twenty-four exceed 2000 fathoms Including three exceeding 5000 fathoms Depths exceeding 4000 fathoms or four geographical miles have been recorded in eight of the deeps Depths exceeding 5000 fathoms have been hitherto recorded only within the Aldrich Deep of the South Pacific to the east of the Kermadecs and Friendly Islands where the greatest depth Is 5155 fathoms or 530 feet more than five geographical miles This is about 2000 feet more below the level of the sea than the summit of Mount Everest in the Himalayas Is above It LIVING CELLS OF TREES The living cells of a tree are those Immediately below the bark all the Interior of a tree Is dead cells They are the skeletons In the closets Moisture In these dead cells will freeze It Is the freezing In these dead cells that Induces trunks to spilt In severe weather The moisture In the active living cells beneath the bark can scarcely have the liquid In their cells freeze or they would Split by expansion The very fact that they can get through without splitting Is evidence that they do not freeze A geranium dies under frost because In these and similar Instances the liquid does freeze In the living cells The blood normally contains stimulants and that these stimulants exercise a favoring influence on function and conduce to and may even be a necessary factor In the production of the feeling of well-being explains the widespread liking In man and bedst for stimulating substances This liking amounting often to a craving Is the expression of a great physiological principle When health Is perfect when the blood Is well provided with proper stimulants and not overcharged with depressants there Is no craving for extraneous stimulants such as alcohol tea or coffee: but when the blood is defective In the one or surcharged with the other 'then Is felt the desire for the glass of wine or the cup of tea In order to obviate this desire the body should be kept at the highest level of hcalth-London Lancet In hli lecture on at the Cooper College In San

extra session of the Legislature aside from Its cost to taxpayers Is the election of Thomas Bard of Ventura as United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Senator White This Is a source of congratulation to the State so far It represents the defeat of Dan Burns Bard at least represents a respectable element In polities And at Washington ho will be no discredit to the State His record so far as It goes Is good but his prominence such as It was seems to have been only of the sort that comes from success In business and the accumulation of wealth Even his name has been unfamiliar to the mass of the people of the State and his views on public questions are Just becoming known through newspaper Interviews obtained since his election as Senator If there is one lesson more than another that should be Impressed upon the people of California by the long struggle over the Senatorshlp It Is that the election should be taken from the Legislature and be made by popular vote The people have the right to choose the Senators seeing that the plan of election by Legislatures has notoriously failed to give satisfactory results The evils of the present system are becoming worse It is one of the great sources of corruption in Legislatures and its demoralizing Influence pervades all branches of politick The tone of the United States Senate has been greatly lowered through the election ito that body by Legislatures of men whose wealth Is their chief or sole claim to distinction One of the purposes specified in the proclamation for an extra session was repeal of the wide-tlre law There was no suggestion as to amendment or any other legislation than repeal of the existing law It is not known what prompted the Governor's coll for repeal So for as the farmers have been hetard from through their organizations their voice has been for a wide-tlre law and It Is unquestionable that wide tires are beneficial to the public roads A measure framed In amendment of the existing law to correct Its defects and modify some of Its provisions has been Introduced In both Houses and Is making good progress to Anal passage It Is said the Governor will approve It Details respecting It (ire given In another column ROAD IMPROVEMENT Elsewhere In this number appears a letter from a practical and Intelligent farmer upon the need of reform In the road system of the Ft a to He calls attention to the glaring evllr resulting from the dispensation of road work as political patronage by Supervisors The need of a radical remedy for the present dismal conditions Is pointed out and the first requirement advocated is the employment of a capable road engineer by each county to survey and supervise the construction of highways The need of macadamizing is also urged and other suggestions made that are worthy Of consideration This subject of road Improvement la of vital Importance to all producers for the cost of hauling over wagon mads Is an Important element of gain sir loss In marketing Good wagon roads are no loss Important to the farmer and the fruit-grower than facilities for shipping by rail or water This Is obvious but tho subject Is commonly neglected The people ore too patient With tho waste and abuses of the present system of spending money on public highways There Is little permanent Improvement most of the money laid cut being practically thrown away so far as lasting results art concerned Under this heading The Pacific Beet publishes information furnished by Fro'ossor Fowler of the College of Agriculture at the State University one of the beet authorities on this Coast and well known as a lecturer before Farmers' Institutes In Callfoma By special arrangement the Professor will answer for the Information of readers of Pacific Bee inquiries referreu to him by tins publication and will also contribute matter of general interest and value In so doing he will avail himself of the scientific knowledge and experience of other learned professors ot the college on points related to their specialties Orchard Planting The eetasoa for orchard planting Is at hand and numerous questions regarding the care of young trees after they have been received from the nurseryman proper root pruning and the best methods of planting In orchard form come to me for solution or advice The success or failure of an orchard from the financial standpoint often depends on the skill and care with which the trsesare planted and trained during the first year of their orchard growth From the moment the young tree Is lifted from place in the nursery to that In which it is set in the orchard It- should have special attention Its roots should not be exposed to sun or wind or be permitted to become dry Every possible care should be given to prevent Injury to the bark of the trunks of the trees On receiving the trees from the nurseryman they Bhould be heeled in as quickly as possible the earth being firmed closely around the riots or still better It should be settled around them with water When ready to plant the trees In orchard form lift them from the bed where heeled In and root-prune them All broken or bruised roots should be cut off and very long roots should be pruned back The cuts should be made at an angle greater than a right angle with a line drawn through the trunk of the tree as une side of the angle Or In other words cut the roots from the outside with an upward slant Where the cuts are made at this angle the ends of the cut roots will be more closely pressed Into the soil when the firming of the earth around the roots Is done thus bringing the cut surfaces more closely In contact with the soli and In the best possible position and condition for the starting of the young rootlets downward When pruning make careful examination for black knot and If any is observed It Is the safest procedure to destroy all such trees After the roots are trimmed It Is a good plan to puddle them In a mixture of clay cow manure and water This will serve as a covering and protection to the roots for they will not dry out so quickly during the necessary exposure In conveying them from the heellng-in ground to the orchard If trees have become dried from exposure It Is a good plan to Immerse them root and top In water for a few hours The tree holes should be dug In advance of removal of trees from the nursery or heellng-in ground Every detail should be completed for rapid planting before the trees are carried to the orchard As trees are distributed from hole to hole the roots should be covered with a little fine) moist earth for protection from sun or wind even If the planting Is to quickly follow In the digging of the tree hole I have found that a little extra work and attention Is abundantly rewarded by the more satisfactory growth of the tree Dig a hole amply large for the tree that Is to be planted Throw out the first layer of earth say a shovel deep to the north and the second layer to the south Thus the tree planters will always know where to find the top soli for filling In the bottom of the tree hole After thriiVlng but this earth spado thoroughly tho bottom of the hole so spading as to break under the side of the hole thus enlarging the diameter without throwing out any of this layer of earth Plant the tree on a cone of earth that the roots may be projected downward and so trnmp and firm the earth on the extended roots as to closely pack It around them then fill up the hole with earth and firm It well If water Is available It is a good practice to settle the earth around the roots by an Irrigation Never fill a tree hole with very wet earth especially If It is of a clayey or adobe nature In planting a tree spread the roots carefully set It on Inch or two deeper than It was in the nursery and Incline It In the direction of the prevailing winds more or less as the winds are more or less constant and severe In planting citrus trees that come balled much care must be exercised or some of the trees will be damaged It Is a good plan to soak the balls thoroughly before planting After placing the tree In the hole cut the tylngs and remove' the wrapping from the ball then with a knife or other Instrument gently break the hall at several points so that the fine earth may find entrance where the separations have been made This will give a better chance foi moisture to enter the ball and the roots will more quickly force their way out Many citrus trees fall to make rapid growth even if they do not die because their roots are confined within the ball of earth that Is closely packed around them This Is particularly the case where the soli In the balls Is a close clay The tree plan ter should be ever watchful of each detail and strive to plant well rather than quickly I) FOWLER THE WORLD OF SCIENCE DESTRUCTION OF A circular of the New York Zoological Society opens with the declaration that annihilation of the finest birds and quadrupeds of the United States is a crime against civilization which should call forth the disapproval of every Intelligent American" It Is shown that 40 per cent of the birds of the country have been destroyed within the last fifteen the Slate averages ranging from 10 per cent In Nebraska and 27 per cent In Massachusetts to 7" per cent In Connecticut Indian Territory and Montana and 27 per cent In Florida In North Carolina Oregon and California the balance of bird life has been maintained and In Kunsas Wyoming Washington and Utah It has Kansas with its law absolutely forbidding traffic In certain birds being the "banntr "The western part of ithe State of Washington reveals the uncommon paradox of a locality being filled up with bird forms because of the clearing away of the timber" The conclusion Is that "under present conditions and excepting In a few localities the practical annihilation of all our birds except the smallest species and within a comparatively short period may be regarded as absolutely certain to occur" DEEPS OF In his geographical address at the British Association Sir John Murray showed that The' fruit trade and shipping interests everywhere show a tendency to consolidation and monopoly Last year there were combinations effected In the East and South by which the trade tropical Iruiits was concentrated In a few hands And now there Is a National Banana ion seemingly organized to protect the wholesale trade against exactions of the Fruit Dispatch Company which Is said to control the banana market On all sides fruit-growers and other producers of this country may see combines and Trusts affecting their Interests in one way or another and affording warnings of the Valuii of organization and cooperation on their own account i Far the Best Ex-Congressman Barclay Henley of San Francisco who Is distinguished not only as a lawyer but also as an orator and champion of popular rights and good government was recently Invited by the editor to favor The Pacific Bee with a communication on the subject of having especial reference to an editorial article in these columns distinguishing co-operative Associations of fruit-growers from the corporations to which the term Trusts Is now commonly applied In reply Mr Henley says: Your communication together with Pacific Bee Is at hand I thank you for your friendly suggestion respecting a contribution from me to the columns of your paper Looking over its composition and make-up I greatly doubt If anything from me would add to its attractiveness Apropos of that this Is the first copy of The Pacific Bee that I have seen I have read It and must offer a word of congratulation upon the good Judgment and evident literary acumen shown in its quoted contents Its editorials are also to be commended Take It as a whole It strikes me as being by far the best weekly paper agriculturally financially economically politically and generally that the Coast produces Its selections are admirable showing sound and wholesome 'taste and a wide range of literary observation You evidently have at hand and at your command the best of the magazine and periodical literature of the day It is such a paper as would be a great boon most especially to the non-residents of the great cities If I can find time to put together such vagrant thoughts as I may have on the subject of and can then conclude that any one will read them you may hear from me before long Very truly BARCLAY HENLEY Government of the Philippines The President has filed the report of the Philippine Commission with Congress The Commission suggests that a Civil Service Board to ascertain by competitive examination of a practical character the qualifications of Filipinos Recking office should be Instituted and that there should be promotions for merit and tenure during efficiency and good behavior The small number of American officials needed would Include In the first group Governor Secretary Attorney-General certain Judges and other officers of the Territorial Government and In the second group heads of postal customs and other departments The officers of the first group should be appointed by the President and of the second trans-fered from the home service In neither case should there be examination In connection with the subject of Government the Commission reaches the following conclusions: The United StateB cannot withdraw from the Philippines The Filipinos are wholy unprepared for Independence and If independence were given to them they could not maintain It Congress should ait the earliest practicable time provide for the Philippines the form of Government herein recommended or another equally as liberal and beneficent Pending any action 6n the part of Congress the Commission recommends that the President put In operation this scheme of civil Government In such parts of the archipelago as are at peace So far as the finances of the Philippines permit public education should he promptly established and when established made free to all The greatest care should be taken In the selection of officials for administration They should he men of the highest ehnrncter and fitness and partisan politics should be entirely separated from the government of the Philippines The Commission Is unable to find any means of assimilating the tariff of the Philippines with that of the United States saying that the differences are fundamental and Irreconcilable and that so long as the existing chasm remains between the economic and social of the United States so long it remains Impracticable to Identify their tariff They therefore recommend that for the present at least no attempt be made to readjust the tariff to our basis John Bull in South Africa John Bull continues to

honesty on the part of the engineer or overseer employed all work done would at least be useful and well performed In counties of large area yet comparatively small wealth and population It may not be practicable always to get lasting results from necessary road work but at least a gdotJ part of the money spent could be so laid out as to give permanent results All earth work as a rule Is but temporary! it Is only rock work such as macadamizing that can be considered lasting This Is costly so that road Impovement Is necessarily a slow and gradual undertaking "Yet In the long period In which public money has been spent upon California highways few counties have much to show in the way of permanent roads We would like to hearfrom other readers on this subject which can scarcely be too much agitated The farmers and fruit-growers should keep the matter stirred up so that the politicians may be forced to needed reform STRENGTH IN UNION At a meeting of tho Raisin-Growers' Association ait Fresno on the 1st instant it was reported that the proposal recently made to the packers of raisins for a consolidation with the Association had been declined After discussion a resolution was adopted that a reserve fund be accumulated on the basis of half a cent per pound of raisins sold by the Association for tho purpose of erecting packing houses and the purchase of seeding If ithlB plan is carried out the Association will next year be In a position to pack Its own raisins and also to supply seeded raisins to suit the demands of the trade It is probable however that the packers will make terms with the Association so that a duplication of the existing costly plants will be avoided The organization controls nearly all the output of raisins and so Is master of the situation The packers must accede to the demands of the Association else they will find themselves deprived of business next season They might as well close their establishments as undertake to fight the Association All producers may see In this a striking Illustration of the power that comes from combination and organization Now the raisin-growers are masters formerly they were at the mercy of the packers and the commission houses and were on the road to ruin A11 fruit-growers should profit by the lesson given by the Raisin Association There Is Just as much need of a growers' organization for the marketing of green fruit as of a Raisin Association or Dried Fruit Association A beautifully Illustrated souvenir publication entitled Belgian In the West" has been Issued by th? American Breeders of Belgian Haros of Los Angeles an Incorporation which is conducting the great Belgian Hare Exhibition ii that city this week The volume contains much Information regarding the animal with lists of premiums and other matter concerning the exhibition TROUBLE BLOWS OVER A week ago there was every prospect of bloodshed la Kentucky as the result of the political turmoil that then prevailed Goebel lay dying from the bullet of a cowardly assassin and had been declared Governor by the Democratic Legislature while Taylor the Republican who held ithe ofllce on a certificate of election from a returning Board had proclaimed Kentucky In a state of Insurrection and had adjourned the Legislature to meet some days later at a email town remote from Frankfort ithe capital The militia in response to the commands of Taylor had by force of arms prevented the Democratic majority of the Legislature from continuing the session at Frankfort It was supposed that the deoith of Goebel hourly expected would precipitate what could scarcely be leas than civil war Taylor did In fact appeal to President McKinley for Federal aid to preserve order In the State but the latter wisely decided that there was no occasion1 for action In the matter on the part of the Administration at Washington Goebel died soon after ithe Legislature had declared him Governor and the succession then devolved upon Lieutenant-Governor Beckham elected upon the Democratic ticket with Goebel according to the declaration of the Legislature and the findings of its Committees Two opposing bodies of militia were now In the field with two Adjutant-Generals each representing one of the two contending political partita The Democrats meanwhile got out Injunctions In the Courts against Taylor to restrain him from acting In the capacity of Governor Confusion seemed worse confounded and there Is no telling what the consequences would have been from prolonging the political struggle had nut representative and sober-minded men of the two parties held a conference at which It was agreed that Taylor should relinquish the office of Governor The latter lias consented to retire and thus peace Is preserved In Kentucky In thus yielding to the dictates of true patriotism and for the best welfare of the State the leading Republicans of Kentucky have achieved a gloat moral victory They are deserving of far greater honor than If they had persisted In upholding a partisan claim to office and thus ptihaps have deluged the State in blood The assassination of Goebel remains a mystery It la Inconceivable that the atrocious deed had the secret sanction of Taylor or any other prominent Republican Whlmakcr who wms arrested on suspicion Is sill In custody and his 'ittempt to secure escape by

llquid-alr power is succinctly presented by a writer In the Forum who argues that It Is virtually an Initial compression of air to 10000 pounds to a square Inch which gives a great advantage as regards Rloiage and transport and then as by expansion and heating it can be brought to precisely the same pressure and temperature as In the case of ordinary compressed air It follows that if there Is an advantage In using the latter It Is obviously more advantageous to employ liquid air Further this wrtter asserts that as the great Increase of efficiency of steam engines during recent years has been owing to the employment of higher Initial pressures It is but the part of reason to admit that Hhe discovery by means of liquid air of a way to attain vast Initial air pressures opens the door to higher efficiencies and greatly extended utilities In the use of air power As Is well known of course the common practice Is to compress air to a pressure of say 2000 pounds to a square Inch for convenience of storage and transport and then allow it to expand Ho a much lower pressure and to become heated In a hot-water apparatus before It enters the working cylinder SPEED OF Sir White has stated before the British Association of Science his belief that the maximum of speed In steam navigation has by no means keen reached yet and that both Increase In length and weight favors the better maintenance of speed at sea and this being the case the tendency will be to even greal'er regularity of service than at present and thus quicker passages will to some extent diminish risks As Indicating the progress made In this lino he Instances the fact that In IS 10 the side-wheel shp Britannia 207 feet long 750 horse power maintained a sea speed of about eight and one-half knots on a coal consumption of forty tons a day: speed has been Increased from eight and one-half to twenty-two and one-hnlf knots and the time of tho voyage reduced to about 38 per cent of what was In 1840 steamers have more than trebled In length about doubled In breadth and Increased tenfold In displacement the engine power has been made forty times as great and the ratio of horse power to the weight carried has Increased fourfold MANUFACTURING Manufnotur-era were apparently the busiest people In the United States In lSlltl They Increased their Importations of materials for use In manufacturing 3H
