Damage from the Storm.

SAN FRANcIsoo, March g..
Recent revelations on the subject Of
straw bail, have created considerable inter
est in this city, and the " Bulletin" this
evening, will publish an article showing
that in the Fifteenth District Court there
are yet ON file 50 suits against bondsmen,
to recover bail, a%ggregating over 500, 900.
Most Of these suits are under date of 1874
and 1875, and after merely preliminary
action, have been allowed to slumber for
years. All these bonds were given in GRIM
inal cases. In the meantime, payments
have been obtained in but two suits, for
50, 900 and S., 900, respectively.
The United States Inspectors rave FIN

The failure of Godchaux Brothers & Co.,
is now known to be more disastrous than
the most panic-stricken of its creditors
would have dared to suppose. A careful
examination of their affairs shows that the
assets of the firm amount to only SITS, eco,
of which SIS, 009 is in stock, and the bal
ance in book accounts, notes, etc. The
liabilities are over 81 900, 900. The cred
itors are garnisheeing debts wherever due,
and much of the 800, 600 due the firm had
been assigned to the creditors previous to
announcement of the failure, and much of
it being also due from retail houses in this
city, which have also become embarrassed
1t is asserted that there will be a shrinkage
of probably fifty per cent. In the amount

THE approximate estimate Of the wealth
Of the country, as it will be in 1880, is S27,-
1000 0 900. This is . decrease Of about
s., GOO, 000, 900 from tho wealth Of 1870,
and it is believed to be very nearly correct.
TIE decrease is not actually a loss Of that
amount Of wealth. 1t is effected by con-
sidering IS worthless, or nearly so, bonds
and stocks which never had any real value,
but figured largely in assets ten years ago.
Added to this is the effect Of wal losses
and the depreciation Of property, which
must necessarily follow an era of expansion

INrLUENCE OF INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOLS.

The industrial schools Of England have
had such an influence in the reduction of
j~uvenile crimes that the Government has
contributed literally to their support.
There are at present 12e Of them. When
objections were raised in the House OF
Commons to the large amount Of money
(fl56. 000) paid by the Government to the
schools, the Home Secretary, Mr.. Cross,
said that every farthing spent on them
saved 80 to 100 per cent, and even more
thsn that, in rates, in jails, and other mat
tiers, besides the moral effect which IL had
upon the community at large. OF those
boys who passed through an industrial
school, so per cent. we're known to have
been entirely rescued, reformed and re-
claimed, and we're honest members OF So
ciety. II the number OF young criminals
sent to prison in 1856 was compared with
that Of 1878, it would be found that in the
first period it was 1900, and in Che latter
about 1000. With the extension Of the
schools throughout the Kingdom, the re-
suit would yet be more satisfactory. Chill
4ren who have no special training, and
whose education has been neglected by
their parents, are taught the leading
branches OF education in these schools. as
we'll as the trades best adapted to their ca
pacities. Their moral discipline fits them
70 become reputable members Of society.
They arc sent back into the world cured Of
Fad habits and practices, with proper no.
lions Of life, and with the means Of gain
ing an honest livelihood.
Since the discontinuace of the appren-
tice system, a large proportion Of the chill
dren Of the poorer classes in this country
grow up without any fixed aim in life.
They may have a common school educa-
ton, but they have no knowledge of any
trade or occupation by which they can
support themselves in after life. Either
trades ought to be taught in our public
schools, or a separate system of technical
education, blended with elementary in
struction, should be established. Such
are the vicissitudes of life in this country,
that parents in affiuent circumstances often
have their children taught some trade or
pursuit, which they may follow in case of
adversely. Whether they may have prac-
tical need of it or not, it enlarges the cir
Gle OF their attainments, and increases
their usefulness as members of society.
II considerate parents, whom fortune has
apparently placed beyond the chance of
serious reverses, take such precautions for
the future of their children, how much
more necessary Is it that the poor should
be prepared for some calling by which they
can gain q decent competence? Indus
trial schools of a r~eformatory nature, as
well IS for general use, are among the most
pressing needs Of the time. Every one
must have remarked how i~nadequately
prepared the pupils of the public schools
are for the battle Of life. They are
launched on the sea of existence with a
good elementary education, but without
the training that fits them to navigate it
IN safety.

The immediate cause OF the distress
among the operatives is tbs inability OF the
masters to furnish them employment.
But what has caused this inability among
the masters This is a question which
there Is a disposition to shlrk here, but Is
one that is easily answered. The cotton
manufacturers OF Lancashire have lost
their supremacy in his branch OF the

entirely their own. 1t Is no longer against
wooden hams and nutmcgs that the wrath
of foreign countries is directed, but against
the wretched stuff St mt all over the world

themselves are not the immediate sinners,

WHY BEES WORK IN THE
DARK.


A lifetime might be spent in investi-
eating the mysteries hidden in bee
hive, and half the secrets would be
undiscovered. The formation of the
cell has long been q celebrated problem
for the mathematician, whilst the
changes which the honey undergoes
offer at least an equal interest to the
chemist. Every ono knows what
honey fresh from the comb is like. 1t
is clear yellow syrup, without trace
Of solid sugar in it. Upon straining,
however, il gradually assumes crys-
talline appearance il candies, as the
saying is, and ultimately becomes a
solid lump of sugar. 1t has not been
suspected that this change was due to
Photographic action that the same
agent which alters the molecular ar
rangement of the iodine OF silver on
the excited collodan plate, and deter
mines the formation of camphor and
iodine crystals in bottle, causes the
syrup honey TO assume crystalline
form. This, however, is the case. Nj.
Scheibler has enclosed honey in stop.
pered TASKS, some OF which be has
kept in perfect darkness, while others
have been exposed to the light. The
invariable results have been that the
summed portion rapidly crystalllzed,
while that kept in the dark has re.
mained perfectly liquid. We now see
why bees work in perfect darkness,
and why they are so careful to obscure
the glass windows which are some.
times placed in their hives. The ex-
istcncc of their young depends upon
the liquidity of the sacharine food pre-
sented TO them and if light were al
lowed access to the syrup, II would
gradually acquire a more or less solid
consistency it would seal up the cells,
and in all probability prove fatal Ia
the inmates Of the hive.
