A GOOD Record.

WAsHISGToS. D. O.. November 2s.-The
annual report of L Kimball, general super
iDtendent of the life saving service, states
that 239 stations were established last year.
The total number of disasters within the
scope of the service was 191; the total value
of property involved was 81, O20, 600; the total
value of property saved. So, 783, 900; value of
property lost, 81, 237. 600; total number of
persons on board. 3,491; total number of
persons saved, 3.441; number lost, 90; crews,
with outside assistance, saved, 247; vessels
involving 81. 900; cost of maintaining
service, $40, 900
The report calls attention to the embar-
rassment caused by the resignation of trained
men from the service for better positions,
with greater compensation and less risk.
The exodus of experienced men from the
service last year was 30 per cent. of the whole
number employed. To overcome this en-
barrassment it is recommended that better
pay be given the men.

The Need of Another National Gallery

The Need of Another National Gallery
Writing in the Century OF the Great
Kings River Canyon, 125 miles south
OF Yosemite, John Muir, the Califor-
mia naturalist, says:
Il fancy the time is not distant
when this wonderful region will be
opened to the wOrld-when a road
will be built up the South Fork of
Kings River through the seQuoia
groves, into the great canyon, and
thence across the divide and down
the Middle Fork Canyon to Tehipitee;
thence through the valley and down
the canyon to the confluence of the
Middle and South Forks, and up to
the sequOia groves to the point of be-
ginning Some OF the sequoia groves
were last year included in the nation
al reservation of SequOia and General
Grant Parks. But all of this wonder
full Kings River region, together with
the Kaweah and Tule sequoias. should
be cOmprehended in one grand ma
tional park. This region contains no
mines of consequence, it is too high
and too rocky for agriculture, and
even the lumber industry need suffer
no unreasonable restriction. Let our
law-giVers, then, make haste before it
is too late TO set apart this surpass-
ingly glorious region for the recrea-
tiOn and well-being OF humanity. and
all the world will rise up and call
them blessed"

The bark was shaken and tossed about most
violently, and the main topmast cross-tgees
went oy the boarc. The deck was flooded
with water of a temperature so high as to
seem almost boiling hot, and the air, which
was filled with sulphurous odor, became
sitting. The strength of the vessel and crew
were taxed to the utmost for an hour and
half, but it was fully five hours and a half

THE Kansas City journal is looking
a long way ahead of present condi-
tions, though according to its own
statement those conditions seem to be
fixed beyond all hope of change in the
near future. 1t says, kansas City is
beyond a doubt going to be the big
wheat market of the West, and all
the railroad combinations in the
world cannot prevent it." Yet in the
next breath it tells its readers that
so long as the present system prevails
it will be impossible to determine the
value of bushel of wheat here, and
this fact will greatly interfere with
trading" And this, though the same
article admits that ~the Joint grain
agency of the railroads centering in
Kansas City has been in operation for
several weeks. 1t has given rise to
no complaint, and proved as satisfac-
tory to both grainmen and railroads
as mere makeshift can" 1t looks
very much as if the article in ques-
tion was a joint-stOck production,
written by two individuals who fol-
lowed the advice given by Denis
Kearney to the Californians, Pool
your issues" If not incubated in
that way it may have been produced
under some such influence as that
which controlled the man who once
wrote an article about 1.-The Elbows OF
the MinciO."

THE earthquake across the central
portion Of the Mississippi Valley
from Memphis to Keokuk, extending
on the east to Louisville and west for
a shorter distance from the river, re-
calls the great earthquake which had
its center at New Madrid early In
this century, and which was one of
the most severe known in this coun-
try. All great river valleys have
their shocks and slips, generally in a
line parallel with their course-this
one ran north and southland which
are ordinarily attributed to the
changes due to erosion and the de-
pOsit Of alluyium which change the
balance of the earth's crust. 1t is in
teresting to note that in the present
instance the shock was in general
confined to the territory on each side
Of the Mississippi and its tributaries
under 500 feet of elevation. The
places reported as feeling the shock
are nearly all below this elevation,
and the 50O-foOt contour line runs
back farther on the left than on the
right bank of the Mississippi at this
point, which may account for the
wider eastward extent of the shock.
