A correspondent writing from the sec
and district of Anne Arundel county TO
the Baltimore Sun, protests, In the name
of the farmers, against the bill introduc-
ed in the Maryland House of Delegates
by Mr.. Joyce providing for Saturday
half holidays He prefaces his remarks
by a general criticism Of legislation,
State and national, as affecting the far
mers. whose interests, he thinks, are
nearly always ignored or subordinated
to other considerations. With reference
to the Saturday half-holiday bill he
says: Mr. Joyce. of your city, last
week obtained leave to Introduce q bill
to increase legal holidays by making
every Saturday in the months of June,
July and August a half-holiday. This
may be all very well for the city, where
working women and working girls, close
ly housed during the week, would gain
much needed diversion and repose, but
in the rural districts, where man earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow, 1t
will net do at all. OF the three months
mentioned the first is our seed time, and
the second and third eur harvest. From
early, morn till dewy eve during these
months the farmer who expects and de-
sires TO make both ends meet must be at
his post, with a keen eye on the force
employed that there be no tagging. Sat-
urday afternoon is often his redemption;
tobacco cut which must be housed, hay
mown which must be tedded, wheat
reaped which must be stacked. And
again, often the farmer, owing to stress
of work, which he must nowadays per-
sonally oversee or ii is left und0ne, is
compelled to select Saturday for q visit
TO Baltimore in the prosecution of shop
ping, or for some needed repairs to ma
chinery or otherwise, and to be 'cribb'd,
cabin'd to the hours before twelve is a
Tyranny which ought not TO be infiict-
ed. Our needs are many, but there
seems to be no present redress, and with
our ability to suffer and suffer in silence,
begotten of long years of servitude to
suffering, we shall continue to endure;
only let us in the. country be preserved
from this. If the farmer, in his fight
against taxation, overproduction, Insight
ficant remuneration for value rendered,
incompetent labor and high wages, has
other woesof. the Saturday holiday added.
he must inevitably go under. Therefore,
in the name of the sons of the soil, the
bread producers of the State, l protest
against the passage of this bill, and call
upon all farmers to support me"

Gold Washing IN California

What on earth soaring, devastating pro-
cess that whole system of gold washing
has been to portion of California; 1t has
torn down hills and mountains, filed up
lovely valleys and ravines with rock and
mud and left only bare rock and piles of
powders where were before shaded and
fertile little plains. This has taken place
over hundreds of miles of territory. But
nature repairs such ravages very quickly,
especially in California, where vegetation,
wild or cultivated, grows after o rapid
transit fashion. There it soon binds up
these earth scars with wild vines and
bushes. / have seen saplings growing
through the roofs and barring the doors
of the cabin in q camp which had not been
deserted moro thai ten years.
So far as outward indications" went,
no set or perfect rule will work In finding
gold. As to place or manner of deposit,
the ~diggings in one locality would be a
contradiction to those in another. The
heaviest gold was generally found deepest.
But sometimes the heaviest gold was
found on the top in the very grass roots.
Old miners finally dropped on an adage
that developed itself like many other
things out of the life and luck of the dig
gtngs. That adage was; Gold is gener-
ally where you find it," This worked.
There is no getting outside of 1t. The
Mexicans say 1T takes o mine to work
a mine" 1 would recommend these two
texts to all who ore disposed to embark In
mining ventures Prentice Milford in

When water once begins to boil it is
impossible to raise its temperature any
higher; all excess of heat is absorbed by
the escaping, as so called, latent heat,
and is given out again when it con-
denses. We often speak of seeing the
steam escaping from the mouth of a
kettle, bat this is incorrect-steam is an
invisible yapor, and we can no more see
it than we can air. What we do see are
the minute drops Of water into which the
steam condenses on coming into the cool
air. II we boil water In a glass flask,
we shall notice that nothing can be seen
in the interior, and by observing the
steam escaping from a kettle we shall
notice that there Is quite q distance be-
tween the end Of the spout and the point
where the cloud becomes visible. This
cloud of steam Is of exactly the same ma
ture as the clouds which float in the sky,
and which are formed by the condensa-
ton in cool upper regions of aqueous
vapor in the air.-Safety Valve.
