THE first case under the Anti-Chinese
Act OF last year has been noted on the
Atlantic Coast. At Boston, the master
of British bark, recently arrived from
Manila, released from his engagement
the Chinese carpenter of his ship, who
wished to become resident of the
United States. The offending seaman
was arrested, and gave bail to appear for
trial. The Chinese wave rolling Allan.
toward from this Coast has scarcely
reached Boston, but the shrewd inhabi-
tants OF that city know very well, as
this arrest proves, that the Chinese are
not desirable. As long as Boston had
no cause of complaint its people did not
care what happened to their country
men elsewhere.

IT cannot be doubted that in some Of
the Eastern States the percentage OF
mortality from lightning has increased
year by year In an alarming manner, and
that IL exceeds even that Of France,
where the frequent thunder storms are
remarkably fatal to life. II is now con.
sidered by the meteorological that ''thun-
der storms principally arise In localities
which favor local differences OF temper.
ture, so that certain places may be con-
sdered their breeding grounds" Ii is
pointed out also that these storms affect
most intensely the ridges between two
local centers of barometric depression,
and more in long, narrow paths. Here,
then, we have the explanation Of South.
ern California's exemption from thunder
storms. In the region we inhabit the
local differences Of temperature are not
ably small. At the same time we are
constrained TO call attention to the fall
lacy OF very generally cherished be-
lief among us. Southern California ia
not entirely exempt from thunder
storms. Any one who has sojourned
in the Sierra, from Fort TETON to Te-
hachepi, at an elevation OF three thou.
sand feet Or more above the level of
the sea. knows that terrific thunder
storms, Mt certain seasons, are by no
means infraquent. Those experienced
among tho Andean chains of Colombia
and Ecuador are scarcely more severe,
and are due to the same meteorological
law. In that portion of the Sierra we
have narrow ridge, and the thunder
storms take place when the mercury is
low in the barometer in tho lowlands Of
Kern and on the Moiave desert, which
extends westward to the point where
the Sierra separates from the Coast
Range.

THE POWER OF WATER.
A Stream with the Force of Can
non Ball.


lseno Gazette.l
The properties Of water are only par
tally understood by those who have
never seen 1t under high pressure. The
Virginia City Water Company get
their supply from Mariette Lake, ON
the Tahoe side of the mountain. They
get it through by long tunnel, and
are then ON the crest Of high noun
tain opposite Mt. Davidson, with
Washoe Valley between. To cross
this valley by Hume would be almost
impossible, so the water is carried
down the mountain side to the bottom,
and crosses under the V. & 4. rail
road track, on the divide between
Washoe and Eagle Valleys, then up
again to the required hight in iron
pipes The depression created in the
line Of carriage is 1920 feet, and the
pressure on the pipes is 500 pounds to
the square inch. One pipe is eleven
inches in diameter, and is quarter.inch
iron, lap welded, and eighteen feet long,
with screw joints. There is little
trouble from it, but the other, which is
twelve inches in diameter, and is rivetcd
pipe, makes more or less trouble all the
time. The pipe is laid with the seam
down, and whenever a crack is made
by the frost or sun warping it, OF from
any other cause, the stream pours forth
with tremendous force. Ii the joint is
broken open, OF course the whole stream
is loose aud goes tearing down the noun
tains, but usually the escape is very
small. The break last week was less
than five-eights of an inch in diameter,
and yet the water in the fume was
lowered an inch and half by
it, and the pressure went down fifteen
or twenty pounds. Capt. Overton says
that fifty inches of water went through
it. 1t has been probably year in cut
ting out, and was made by "a little stream
hardly visible to the naked eye, that es-
capped through a joint and struck the
pipe two or three feet off, eating away
the iron until the pressure inside broke
it through. When such break occurs
the noise can be heard for half mile,
and the earth shakes for hundreds OF
feet around A break the size of
knitting needle will cut a hole in
the pipe in half an hour. Such
breaks are repaired by putting band
around the pipe, pouring in melted lead
and tamping it in. Such stream bores
through rock like a sand blast. The fly
ing water is as hard as iron, and feels
rough like file to the touch. 1t is i'm
possible to turn it with the hand, as it
tears the flesh from the bones, and it the
fingers are stuck into the stream, with
the points up, the nails are instantly
turned back, and sometimes torn loose
from the flesh.

THE Times, of New York, has been
making list Of the presidential prefer.
ences of three hundred and forty-four
localities. Mr.. Tilden Is the Democratic
choice in one hundred and twenty of
them, while Mr. Blaine has the Repub-
lican preference in one hundred and
three. Mcdonald, of Indiana, comes
next to Mr.. Tilden, with seventy-two
votes, and Mr.. Arthur follows Mr..
Blaine with sixty.four Among the rag
tag and bobtail of the Republican field
General Grant occupies the position of
the small boat in the race, having but
seventeen votes. But Mr., Tilden has
friends in all but seven States; Mr.,
Blaine in all but eleven. Very many of
Mr.. Blaine's friends don't think il would
be well to nominate him. Many of the
letters of these gentlemen state that Mr.
Blaine eSrect.s !, i, mate the Republi.
can nominee. and that. in case OF his
election. Mr. Blaine intends to DO Sec.

An eastern contemporary very prop
erly. and mildly, be it added, calls Mr..
Denis Kearney's recent statement con.
corning the coming reduction Of postage
n mistake" Mr.. Kearney stated that
the reduction would not benefit the
poor man because the poor man was not
in the habit Of sending letters to any
great extent. II is scarcely necessary to
point out the extreme illogicalnesa Of
the statement. As matter OF fact,
poor men write a greater number Of
letters relatively than rich men do.
But. admitting that poor men do not
write as many letters as rich men write,
still Mr.. Kearny's logical position is
false. A reduction in the price Of post
age is just as much Of benefit as a
reduction in tho price Of bread. One
man uses but one postage stamp daily,
while another needs two; Mr.. Kearney
may DO satisfied with one loaf Of bread
in twenty.four hours. while Mr.. Koar.
ney's noighbor may consume two.
