Naval circles are more than pleased
with the remarkable performances Of
the dynamite cruiser, Vesuvius, which
has just completed its third official
trial. The boat has qualified herself
rs the fastest vessel ahoat, having
made a record of twenty-five statute
miles an hour. But aside from her
speed the Vesuvius is destined to rev.
olutionize modern ships of war just as
the Monitor in her day made the mod
ern ironclad an impossibility. The
new dynamite gun with which the YES
sci is armed, has brought into use the
most terrible agent of destruction
known to modern warfare. 1t is safe
to say that number of such vessels
armed with such pieces of ordinance
will be match for the navies of the
old world.

In New York a number Of women of
philanthropic instincts have formed a
ladies health protective association
and hold monthly conferences, in which
they discuss questions relating to pub
lie health and morals. At its last
meeting Miss Julia Thomas made re-
port in regard to the public schools of
New York, in which she spoke of the
urgent necessity of improving the
school hoses, declaring that many of
the present school houses are so dirty
and unhealthy that they are democrat
izing to the children morally, mental
ly and physically.

The steamship record across the At
lantic is as unstable as the six days
go-as-you-please figures. 1t is an in
teresting question as to just where the
record will stop. The Cunarder I'm
bria has just lowered the east-bound
record TO 6 days hours and 40 min
utes, a decrease of something like two
hours. The west-bound record is now
only about an hour below the eastward
passage.

Mary A. Brown, who has taken up
the prodigious task of overturning
history, has begun the publication of a
weekly paper to urge the claim OF Left
Erickson TO the honors accorded
Christopher Columbus. Miss Brown
believes she has abundant proof Of the
proposition that Erickson not only dis
covered America but settled colony
here nearly five hundred years before
Columbus began veXing the Spanish
court, and that it was on information
picked up in Iceland that Columbus
based his ideas OF the Western world.
Miss Brown is small, determined
body, with remarkable mental activity,
and for many years has been elaborat-
ing this Left Erickson theory, with a
success that is not contemplate since
she has aroused the sympathy and Sc
cured the support of the Scandinavian
world. Her paper, which bears the
name of her hero, is devoted TO the
cause with a largeness that is impress
i've and clearness that is not wholly
speculative. In May she will go to
Iceland for further evidence, having
letters to distinguished scholars at
Reykjabik, DR.. Seigurdur Vigfusson
and DR.. Jon Hjaltalin, that will doubt
less secure her access 20 the Antiquar-
ian Museum and the garnered litera-
ture and written traditions of Iceland.
She believes that she will have enough
evidence by 1892 to show the Ameri-
cans the folly of doing any celebrating
in honor OF Columbus.

STREET PAVING.
Labor Saving Methods Used On
Upper Main street.

Labor Saving Methods Used On
Upper Main street.
Large quantities of stone from South
Riverside are now being hauled to the
city for paving purposes, and, in connec-
ton with it, some ingenious labor-sav wing
devices are used. In the first place, the
usual method Of transporting stone from
quarries is by loading it into wagons and
then reloading on to railroad fat-cars,
that is, unless a spur track runs right
into the heart Of the quarry. These con-
tractors, however, have special wagon
boxes, each of which will hold 2 yards
of stone, and, on reaching the railroad,
the wagon beds are lifted, by means
of huge cranes, on to the fiat.
cars, six of them constituting carload.
On arrival here they are unloaded in a
similar manner at the way track, be-
tween First and Also streets, skeleton
wagons being in waiting, on to which the
beds are transferred and then hauled up
town. At Upper Main street, where the
work is going on, the wagon is unloaded,
and here another device steps in, for the
whole affair can be handled by one man
The wagon-bed is made of number Of
cross-slats, and the unloader, starting in
at the tail of the wagon, removes one at
time and the load falls to the ground.
The stone is then crushed and put down
and, as it is OF porpbyrous
formation, it is admirably adapted
for road purposes. as it will
not wear out as does sandy rock
or limestone. In connection with the
work a novel method of evening the
surface is employed. The usual manner
is by means of a huge steam-roller, but
in this case a large water tank, drawn
by six horses is employed. When the
work is completed the water can be run
off and the empty tank hauled to the
next scene of labor by one horse, instead
of entailing the cost of transporting a
steam.roller from place to place.

ABOUT THE CITY.
Work to be Commenced on
the Pine Street Route.
THE PAST MONTHS TRANSACTIONS
Real Estate Sales-Arrests by the
POlice-Street Paving
Matters.

This morning at o'clock forty men
will be put to work grading the Pine
street route for the Southern Pacific.
The company left the matter open as long
as possible, so that the people interested
in the Briswalter route could give their
route if they wanted to, but as they
showed no signs of coming to terms, Mr..
Lunt telegraphed yesterday to Vice
President Towne for instructions, and in
reply came the order to commence con-
struction. 1t has leaked out, however,
that if the Briswalter people choose to
make rally to-day and concede the right
of way, the grading outfit will be re-
moved from Pine street to their tract.
The deeds conveying the Pine.street
property to the Pacific Improvement Co.,
virtually the Southern Pacific, were fled
yesterday, although this was only CO.
incidence, for they have been in the
hands of Judge Bicknell, the company's
lawyer, for some ten days past. 1t is
stated that the working force will be in
creased to 100 men by Monday next,
and that the connection will be made
and the last spike driven week from
Saturday. The work of transferring the
offices will then commence and by the
let Of March the Wolfskill depot will be in
full running order. The electricians are
now putting in the extra lights in the ar.
cade that were found to be necessary at
the experimental test on Sunday last.

Carleton opera Companx.

Sale Of seats for the Carleton Opera
Company opened at the Grand Opera
House yesterday and the take was quite
large. Recently in Chicago the Carleton,
McCaull and New York Casino Opera
Companies all opened simultaneously,
each presenting new opera, and the
Chicago Times had the following: SIN
the triparite operate engagement of the
past week three comic operas not before
seen here have come together. In most
respects Mynheer Jan, given by the
Carleton Com pany, which is by far the best
singing Company of the three, is
musically better than either of the others.
The only principal singer presented by
either of the companies is Miss
Clara Lane, of the Carleton company,
and she goes about her work in way to
show that she has good natural voice,
and has been very we'll trained. She
keeps closely to the key, an accomplish
ment which the leading female singers
in the other two companies have not at
tanned. Mr.. Carleton himself maintains
his old high reputation as a singer and
as an op. ra disciplinsrian. This places
the Carleton Opera Company as the
leading organization of America.

The Ossrfches.

Mr.. Baauchamp, of the Kenilworth
Ostrich Farm, was in town yesterday,
and when asked how the birds were get
ting along, said that the weather had
been rather cold for them at the foothill
ranch lately. For some mornings tue
thermometer registered IA degrees of
frost, but it has warmed up considerably
recently, for yesterday only 2 degrees
were shown. This comparatively low
temperature has had, it is feared, bad
effect on the eggs, and if they do not
show signs of breaking shortly, Mr..
Beauchanp will discard them and pluck
the birds. The plumage has been very
fine this year, as the ostriches have all
been remarkably healthy and evidently
flourish as we'll as on their native heath in
South Africa. Several letters from circus
men have lately been received regarding
the obtaining of birds for show purposes.

Quite an exciting collision occurred on
Commercial street yesterday evening be-
tween beer wagon and buggy. The
two vehicles were proceeding leisurely
toward each other when Chinaman set
off bunch of fire-crackers. The noise
startled both teams and they ran to-
gether with great violence. The two
men in the beer wagon few in the air
over the buggy, and the driver of the
ouggy flew alter his horse, which tried
to dash away up the street. None of the
men were injured, but the buggy and
wagon were demolished.

to answer to the charge in the Superior

though circumstantial, appears to be very
complete. The defendant was unable to
