The NIongoI and the solav.
ATLANTA Constitutional


The first Napoleon refused to fight
the Chinese. There are too many of
them" he said He objected, also to
teaching them the European methods of
warfare. What Napoleon dreaded is
now coming to pass. The Chinese are
learning the modern art of war, and
their soldiers are far in advance of what
they were half century ago. There is
great danger that the Chinese will some
day Join the Russians. Such an alliance
between the MongoI and the Sclav
would possibly drive the white races
out of Europe OF course the Sclav is
white race, but it seems to be deter
minedly hostile to the SaxOns.
Now most reliable statistics show
that there are now 100, 900, 600 of the
worlds inhabitants who speak the Eng
lish language, and this is increasing in
proportion year by year. The white
races of the world have increased in
200 years from 100, 900, 900 to 42O, 900, :.
900. This rate of increase will continue,
and large percentage of it will be that
of English speaking people. There will
in another generation or so be practi-
cally no other white racess excepting
Over six tenths will be Saxon and leu
ton and three tenths Sclav.
There will practically be no others.
The French are not increasing, and, as
colonizers, are a failure. The Span
iards are increasing very slowly, If at
all, and, in fact, in their colonies
are gradually being absorbed by the ma
tive populations. The Scandinavians
or Mortimer have entirely stopped IN
creasing, and the other nations of En-
rope are barely holding their own. 1t
will be seen from this that the Saxon
and the Sclav together could rule the
world. But if they fight, and the Sclav
calls to its aid the Mongol and Tartar
hordes, the tide of Saxon civilization
will be rolled back

The Board of Health.

A meeting of the Board of Health was
held on Saturday last, at which certain
resolutions were adopted, looking to the
improvement of the sanitary condition of
the city. The President of the Board in
vited Drs. Trousseau, Brodie, Webb and
Aiming to give their views on the subject
and also to what instructions should be
given to the natives as to avoidance Of
those practices that might induce disease.
Having heard these professional gentle
men, the Board resolved to divide the
city into sanitary districts, and a com
mittee was appointed to see that the
regulations of the Board were enforced.
Certain gentlemen will also be requested
to assist the committee. These gentle
men will be entrusted with the powers OF
from Asiatic ports will be quarantined.
The condition of the streets were dis
cussed, and it was ordered that they
should be thoroughly cleaned and active
measures adopted to remove all filth and
sources of sickness. Special attention is
to be given to the Chinese quarters in
this connection. Printed sanitary in
structions are to be sent throughout the
Kingdom for the guidance of the natives.
Active measures have been taken to
carry out the street cleaning resolution
to the manifest improvement of the
thoroughfares and the comfort of the in

The work on the MERGED irrigation
ditch in the San joaquin valley, Cali

It's entire length will be thirty-five
miles, of which sixteen miles is now
completed, and for the first ten miles it
is sixty feet wide at the bottom and ten
feet deep, while for the rest of its
length the width at the bottom is fifty
feet and the depth eight feet. The plows
used in the work are three huge imple-
ments, each weighing COO pounds, and
each drawn by ten to fifteen mules.
Upon the works now there are working
125 white men and about $50 Chinese,
while the force of mules in active serv-
ice ranges from eighty to 200 head, ac-

company have already expended 800,

NEW DISCOVERY IN TELEsRAPHY
San Diego Union.l

a discovery in telegraphy has Lately
been made in San Diego which is destinet
to work revelation in the old system
a simple and familiar instrument il
everyday use has been found to be ca.
pable, when properly employed, of doing
all that is now accomplished by means Of
the complicated and costly system Of
wires, batteries, etc., at present in use.
The discoverer Of the new process has
shown that wires are wholly unnecessary.
By means of two blades, Joined together
by rivet in the center, and furnished
with handles in which the finger and
thumb of the operator is inserted, and an
ordinary daily newspaper, several thou
sand words Of news dispatches can be
received in a few moments. The saving
of time is no less wonderful than the ex-
traordinary cheapness of the service. In
fact, no expense at all is attached to the
operation of this new device beyond the
cost of the instrument itself, which may
be obtained for the triaing sum of so or
Is cents. The facility with which it
works is astonishing As means of
supplying Geographic news reports for
the daily press it simply defes compe-
tition by the old process. The only
manipulation required with press reports
received by this instrument is the ad-
justment of the dates to the several dis.
patches. These dates are not transmit
ted with any regularity, and require to
be corrected with pen or pencil before
handing the copy to the printer. This,
however, is very trifing task, and not
worthy of serious consideration when
weighed against the wonderful facility of
the instrument in the hands of an expert
operator. The proprietor of one of the
daily journals of our city, with commend
able enterprise, has secured one of the
new instruments and is operating it with
great success. In five issues of his jour
nal he has published over eight columns
of dispatches received wholly by the new
process, and-so expert has the operator
become in the brief period of five days
in the number issued yesterday morning.
three and q half columns-more than
half the entire Geographic report-was
received by this wonderful instrument.
1t is believed that in short time he will
be able to dispense with the old wire
process altogether. This is truly an age
of progress and there seems to be no
limit to the triumphs of the human mind
in the field of invention.
