About Furnaces.

In placing your furnace in your new
house, always remember that lateral
pipes never give out much heat The
hot air must invariably ascend to pro-
duce current, and therefore we see
very often a register in the third story
giving out splendid heat, when in the
extension library. where warmth is par
ticularly desired, the air of the room is
hardly affected at all. In large coun-
try house it would really be better to
have two small furnaces rather than
one large one. Less coal would be
used to more purpose, and they would
not be much more troublesome to tend
than is one. But if you have two, do
not make the mistake of putting them
side by side, as was done in very large
house near New York. This simply in
tensifed the heat in the same part of the
house without carrying it into the wings,
where it was chiefly needed.-New York

GOOD NEws FOR SANTA MONICA.

On Saturday the difficulties between
Southern Pacific railway were finally ad-
justed to the satisfaction OF all the par
ties concerned. The right of way along
the bluff in front of Santa Monica has
been conceded, and the Southern Pacific
will undoubtedly shortly begin work on
an extensive scale. The coast road will
come down by the Malibu and other
coast ranches. This will dispense, for
all purposes of travel, with the San Fer
nando tunnel, and traffic will follow
travel. In all probability the coast road
will be completed inside of year. This
will give Southern California the most
charming route to San Francisco con-
ceivable. In addition to improving the
facilities of travel the completion OF this
road will develop section of coun-
try that has not heretofore come exten-
sively under the notice of the public.
On the Malibu ranch there are twenty
two miles of ocean front that embrace
four or five thousand acres Of ex-
cellent land with good water rights. 1t
is particularly desirable that there
should be symmetrical development of
the territory contributorv to Los Ange-
les. The time has come when the
ranches San Vicente y Santa Monica,
La Ballona, Los Bueyes, and half a
dozen others, should be divided. The
building of the coast road of the South
ern Pacific will undoubtedly bring about
this segregation of property interests.
There ought to be ten thousand people
between the Palms and Malibu ranch,
and nnquestionably will be with the
advent of this new railway. Whether
great commercial point will grow up at
Santa Monica caflon is a matter for
curious speculation. There is no rea
son why it should not. Point Dune is
promontory which gives most in
viting prospects for the creation
of harbor. When the south
ern Pacific starts in in earnest to
develop any point essential to its sys
tenn it moves with great energy. All
the indications point to great prosperity
for Santa Monica. Senator John P.
Jones, who has large property interests
there, has probably made up his mind
to do all he can for the place. Jones
and the Southern Pacific railway are
heavy team. Between Santa Monica
and New Orleans is the shortest stretch
of railway in American territory con-
Meeting Atlantic and Pacific ports. This
means great deal for our charming
little city by the sea. There is no rea
son why a notably commercial point
should not grow up in the lee of Point
Dune, while great and attractive wa
tering place ought to cover the bluffs in
front of Santa Monica proper. The
people of Santa Monica have waited
long time for their due need of prosper
ity, and the time seems to have arrived
when they will realize expectations long
deferred.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ex-
press, has reasonable degree OF gall.
In its issue OF Saturday it says:
1t requires no little assurance on the
part of Democratic organ to name Da-
vid Bennett Hill as comparable to Ho.
ratio Seymour, who. whatever his faults,
was man of unsulied honor. Hill is
politically one of the most INSCRIPTIONS
and tricky men that ever rose to promi-
nence in any state. At present he is the
ringleader in an effort to frauduently
set aside the election of certain Repub-
lican members of the New York senate.
His action in this respect is character
istic of the man.
Horatio Seymour was the worst abused
man in America, with the exception of
Tiiden, till he died. Mr.. Hill gets the
same compliment that Seymour and
Tilden got in their time. He ie abused
heavily because he is strong man.
The Republican party wastes no ammu-
milton on dead ducks.

An Aeronaut's Experience.

A story is told of the thrilling ex-
perience of veteran aeronaut with a
bald eagle and Connecticut constable.
During recent ascension, when at
height of 5000 feet, the balloonist was
attacked by the eagle. A desperate fight
ensued, which resulted in the eagle being
killed. Half fainting, the aeronaut
descended to terra firma. When he had
recovered he hunted for and found the
dead bird. While he was examining his
prize the constable came along and ar
rested him for killing the bird, for which
offense, he claimed, fine of $50 is i'm
posed. The aeronaut, it is related, had
more difficulty in escaping punish
ment than he had in killing the bird

THE suicide OF Mr.. Bert MacGregor is
one OF those melancholy things that sur
prise one. This young gentleman was
bright and gifted. He had every reason,
apparently, to look for a long and happy
life. How such young man, with san
guine prospects of happiness and pros
perity, should develop such morbid
vagary, puzzles one. For quite while
he was on the staff OF the HERALD and
his special talents were much appreci-
ated il this Office.

VERY shortly Los Angeles will enter

Mr.. Richard Kerens and the Terminal

specially notable IN all lines OF develop
ment of late. Cheap fuel is our great

THERE has been just one drouth in
Los Angeles county since 1875. During
that time there have been four or five
dry years in the state of New York.
New York and Brooklyn have suffered
greatly from lack of water during the
current year. The latter city very nearly
endured water famine within the last
two weeks. Southern California has
really been exceptionally favored for
great while past.

music and songs the party proceeded to

decorated, and in some respects very
novel. especially the large chrysanthe-

from every point of view, were tasteiully
arranged, TO engage in progressive
euchre, which entertained until IL 80,
at which hour Mrs. Steele and Mr..

THERE is an element OF comedy about
the Chilean situation. Mr.. James G..
Blaine has been ordinarily looked upon
as D'Israeli was regarded in Great Brit
ain. In other words, he was supposed
to be the great exemplar of Jingoism. The
curious thing about Blaine is that he
does not seem to come up to the pro-
nunciamento. He is about the tamest

ever had.
