SANTA Rosa, May 2l.-Apparently d

III 80 O'Clock three fires were started in
different sections OF the city, each prom

Fifth street, near the Ather @um Theatre.
aud the third the rear portion of Uuder-

quickly subdued. They were uudoubt

work of tramps recently discharged from

Who Owns the Land in American

Who owns the land in the United States {?
Why; the citizens do, or should, would be
the natural reply. But unfortunately 1t is
not altogether so. Some of the best lands
in this country are owned by alien land
lords. Nearly 22,000, 900 acres of land are
owned by men who owe allegiance to other
governments. To be exact, there are q, :
24l 900 acres of land under the direct con-
troll and management of thirty foreign in
dividuals or companies. There are 2, 72O, =
283 acres of land in Massachusetts, so that
the men living in other countries and ow-
ing allegiance to other powers own land
enough to make about ten states like Massa-
chusetts, more than the whole of New
England, more land than some govern
ments own to support king. The largest
amount Of land owned by any one man or
corporation is owned by foreign corpora
ton called the Holland Land Company.
Talk about alien laudholders in Ireland
There is twice as much land owned by
aliens in the United States as there is owned
by Enghshmen in Ireland. Think of it.

prudence, Guys Hospital, London,
may be read with interest:-"Under
certain conditions, various articles
of diet, especially butchers meat,
eggs; milk, butter, cheese, and honey,
may become possessed of poisonous
properties, and this may arise from
a variety of causes besides the intro
duction of known and specific poison.
Food may be more OR less poison

be cIassed poisonous honey, which
bees have gathered from poisonous
plants. Unsound or ever rotten
vegetables and fruit may be conSum

ried forms of poisoning especially III
hot summers" With regard to poi
sonous tainted or putrid meat, DR..
Stevenson ssys:-"The obvious char
acteristics of good sound fresh meat
and its colour is red-neither pale
pink nor deep purple that it is mar
bled in appearance /; firm and elastic
to the touch, scarcely moiStening the
fingers ; having il slight and not IN
pleasant odour and that when ex-
posed to the air for a day or two it
should neither become dry on the sur
face nor wet and soddem. Meat may
be tainted with physic administered to
the animal, 1t is "a common practice,
when a fat and valuable animal is
unwell, to physic it, and if its recov-
cry be not speedy, to slaughter IT.
The meat of such animals may Of
ten be met with in our markets, and
induce illness from the physic with
which it is contaminated. The effects
of simple putridity are most varied.
It is well known that some nations
habitually eat putrid meat, and even
prefer it to fresh !; and the devrIope-
ment of rotteness in eggs forthe eplcure
is an art in China. There is no doubt
that habit has much 10 do with The
tole rance by the stomach of putrid
meat, whether cooked or uncooked.
But tainted game, and indeed all
kinds o fmeatin which putrefactionh has
commenced, may individually produce
disease. This is chiefly of diar'h@-
al character, preceded by rigors,
and attcnted with collapse, and, it
may be commissions and other signs
of n profound affection of the nervous
system. The effects of such tainted
meat are slight as compared With
those which are produced by the
sausagc-poison, developed by a sort
of modified putret"ction in certain
German sausages. These sausages,
when they become musry and soft in
their interior, nauSeous in odour and

their effects. The symptoms produced

cy just the contrary Of that which he
formerly pursued. 1t, is singular that
he should have r~eturnedsto Belgrade,
and returned in such a administrative
way, before the Radical Government,
has had time to get settled in office,
and at the moment when the Minis
teriaI plan of creating a militia is
only in embryo, The army tor the
present remains supreme and King
Milan's influence over it is unqueS-
toned. The ex-King is, in fact, the
most powerful man in the country
aud since his reconciliation with
Archbishop Michael he must become
more popular than he ever was before.
Whether he will now use his authority
and new won popularity to retake the
crown which he resigned, too lightly,
as it seemed TO his friends, a few
months ago, is u question which is
exciting all kinds of surmises in
Vienna.
I NAV here mention that when
King Milan did the Vienna Core
spondent of The Times the honor Of
receiving him on the 22nd of March
last, he spoke certain words about
his relations with Russia which, for
obvious reasons, could not be publish
ed at the time, but which it becomes a
duty to make public, IN the ex Kings
own interest and defence, now that
bis, Majesty lies under the suspicion
of acting uncandidly towards Austria
Hungary, The King Said:-
II have been accused Of receiving
money from Russia TO abdicatc, and
you yourself have reported this alb
Surd rumour. l tell you there is no
sense or justice in it. You we'll
know Tint | have always been Rus
sia's enemy, and that | have paid
denrly for my hostility. Do you
think that l should now stuliIfy the
policy Of my whole reign by taking "a
bribe from the country whose agents
have made it impossible for me 10
goverh in peace9
After this it was suggested to the
King that, as his Majesty was in the
prime OF life he would probably not
resign himself 10 the career of idle
ness. The King smiled, and said
"a :nan does not drthrone his own
SON"
"But your Majesty might be call
ed upon to ACT as your sons guardian
and adviser"
If my son should require my guar
dianship and advice ht'would certain
~ hnYe Them" said the King, brisk
~. "CertoinIy | will stand by him
at all times, and to the best of my
ability.
The above words may furnish a
clue to King Milan's present inten-
tons.
A curious episode attended King
Milan's passage through Sofia. The
Orient Express train, which carried,
his Majesty from ConstantinopIe, was

IN CURVE.
OUT CURVE.


But this is not intended TO be an article
about the peculiarities of individual pitchers,
but rather Of instruction to those who wish
to know how the mysterious curves are pro-
duced, and so we need not mention Clarkson,
O'Brien, Krock, King, Hughes, Baldwin,
Hudson or any Of the other kings of the box.
READ THE FOLLOWING AND LEAsINTo PITCH.
A New York reporter who made several
tours among well known pitchers to find out
the workings of the mysterious curve says
tnat although pitching is their stock in trade
theytalked freely about the In and out curves,
the down shoot and the grapevine twist
In making the straight delivery the ball is
grasped securely between the first and second
fingers The thumb goes on the other side,
while the remaining fingers are closed ON the
palm In this delivery all possible speed is
used. This pitch is generally made by
straight throw from the shoulder. Some,
however, make an underhsnd throw of it at
about the level of the waist.
The in curve is a ball seldom used by
pitchers, but is an unusually effective one
when used with discretion. To maize the curve
when YOU know how all you have stodo is to
grasp the ball securely with all the fingers,
the thumb being pressed closely against the
opposite side This ball is generally thrown
at the height of the shonidcr. In throwing
this curve the bah must De released from the
hand in such way that it viii twist itself
off the first two fingers of the hand.
Outside of the straight, speedy delivery
the out curve is more generally used by
pitchers than any of the other twists. To
make this curve you must press the ball
firmly in the hand between the first and
second fingers and the thumb. The two re
naming fingers can be closed in the palm of
the hand. One generally delivers this ball
between the waist and shoulder. At the mo-
ment of releasing the ball, twist the hand
quickly to the left.
To make the high in curve all you have to
do is to practice a long time and know how
thoroughly. Many young men who will try
to solve this curve will fit themselves for the
lunatic asylum In place OF the pitchers box.
Again the first two fingers and the thumb
are used. Start the motion from above the
shoulder and then twist the hand down quick
