s WhIrIing Psyehrometer.

Sergeant Barwick has received from Cen
eral Hazen, Chief Signal Officer Of the
Army, a whirling psychrometer, fol the
purpose Of more accurately ascertaining the
vapor tension. dew point and relative hui
Nudity Of the atmosphere. This psychrom-
eter consists of two thermometers placed
upon a revolving machine, and at each OBJ
servation they are to be revOlved at the
rate of one hundred turns to the minute,
one thermometer being wet and the other
dry. General orders No. II, issued by the
Chief Signal Officer, say " When care
fully conducted series Of observations are
made with those instruments, with the sur
rounding air artifcially disturbed, it is
found that the temperature Of the dew
point obtained more nearly comedies with
the readings of the standard dew point APP
paratus It has been decided to secure
more perfect ventilation by mounting the
dry and wet bulb Thermometers Of the Sig
nal Service upon whirling machines, by
means of which the bulbs are made to de-
scribe circle of two or more feet in diam
eter. and to come in contact with and be
affected by a larger amount of the sur
rounding air than if stationary. This ma
chine, with the instruments attaceed, will
be known as the 'whIrling psychrometer.' "

Selling Liquor TO Minors

Two boys, named Oscar Worsham and
Frank Mcdonnell, aged respectively II and
Is years, were arrested Monday afternoon
by Deputy Sheriff Beeler, who found them
drunk on the street and took them to the
station-house. They have been working
in the racing stables on the grant but lost
their situations. Yesterday they had So
bered up sufficiently to give an account of
themselves, and after interviewing them
Chief Dillman directed officer Ferral to at
tend to the case and arrest the party who
sold them the liquor. One of the boys ac-
companied the officer and pointed out the
saloon on the northeast corner of Fourth
and NJ streets, kept by Thomas Anderson,
as the place, and subsequently Anderson
was arrested for selling liquor to minors,
and gave bond for his appearance in Court.
The boys say that they each had drink in
the saloon and then bought bottle of
whisky, which they took away and drank
Anderson says that they did not drink on
the premises, but purchased a bottle of
liquor, which the person who sold it to
them presumed was to be taken to the
stables for the use of other parties

a Puzzle Solved.

c.. F. Klink, the well-known apothecary,
was astonished several days ago when his
barber informed him that his hair was
turning yellow Mr. Kiink had heard of
cases in which peoples hair after being
gray, had taken a new start and returned
to its natural color, but yellow would
scarcely fit his case. He concluded, how
ever, that, as he was descendant of the
famous faxen-haired Vikings, the hair was
working 9 Renaissance of his distant an
cestors. Subsequently the astonishing dis
cOyery was made that the hair on the OPP
posite side of his head was turning green
That knocked the ancestor theory into

turn he was liable TO be gobbled up and in

band of his hat had done the mischief,

Row at a Backyard.

Yesterday morning a Chinaman called
upon Constable Harvey and informed him
that on the previous day there had been a
big fight at the brickyard, half mile be-
low Freeport, between the white and Chi
nese employees, resulting in two of the
Cinnamon being badly hurt and others
slightly, while one of the white men re-
ceived a scalp cut and other injuries. 1t
appears that q Chinaman took a wheel
barrow that white man customarily used,
and the latter went and claimed it. The
Chinaman got angry and assaulted the
white man with a shovel, cutting his scalp,
and another Celestial, who had joined him,
assisted in the attack. The proprietor of
the yard came up about that time, and en-
deayored to quiet matters and the assailed
man took the shovel away from his assail-
ant but did not strike him with it. The
Chinaman uttered a peculiar yell, which
had the effect of a war cry, for the other
Chinese employees trooped to the scene.
Meanwhile, the white laborers passed the
word and rallied to the support of the eau
casian, and row of large proportions en-
sued, shovels, clubs and fists being used,
until finally the Mongolians were driven
from the field. One OF them received a
blow on the back of the head which caused
the blood to flow from his ears, and yester-
day he could scarcely speak. His injuries
as severely. The constable did not make
any arrests, as so far as he could ascertain,
the Chinese we're the aggressors.

of those pleasing episodes that happens in

Ough musician, has ever assisted in and
directed the music of the school, and under
her tutorship and untiring efforts is largely
due the success, unsteady, for which the
pupils have ever been noted. Yesterday,
as mark Of appreciation, the teachers pre-
sented her with an elegant gold hunting
case watch, appropriately engraved. The
presentation was made by Miss NJ. j. Wat
son, Vice-Principal, in the presence of the
school, just after the singing of one of
Miss Gritfin's fayorite songs, and to her
vas complete surprise. The remarks of
Miss Watson were appropriate. well timed,
and entirely deserved. Miss Griffin made
feeling response, thanking her co-work-
ers in the cause of education for this mark
of their esteem and respect.

miles, while again they tell us here upon
our streets that they are making a straight
shoot for Lower Lake. Now, the inconsist-

Elk Grove Oranges Sentiments.
The following resolutions have bee

adopted by Elk Grove Grange:
Resolred, That the appropriation of water by
individual or corporations under cover of legis-
lative enactments is in violation of law and
JUSTICES confscation-and as public policy
would entail upon our State the most oppressive,
grinding and odious monopoly that ever cursed a
free people.
Resolred That the attempt to transfer purely
judicial question (riparian) from the Courts to
the rostIum and the ballot is lawless revolution
airy and communistic. Striking, as it does, at
the stability of government and property this
last device of plumber and monopoly must meet
the excavations ola people loyal to justice, order
and law.
Resolved, That in the States right of eminent
domain we have an easy and just solution of
the irrigation problem, without injustice or
resort to lawleSs methods let the.irrigation dis
tricts proceed to the condemnation of any and
all necessary private rights Tor this admittedly
greater use.
Resolred, That in ali irrigation legislation the
rights of navigation must be guarded.
