CHANGES OF CLIMATE

Kill more people than is generally known.
Particularly is this the case in instances
where the constitution is delicate. and
among our immigrant population seeking
new homes in those portions of the West,
and where malarial and typhoid fevers pre-
vail at certain seasons of the year. The
best preparative for change of climate, or
Of diet and water which that change neces-
states, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which not only fortifies the system against
malaria, variable temperature, damp, and
the debilitating effects of tropical heat. but
is also the leading remedy for constipation,
dyspepsia, liver complaint, bodily troubles
specially apt to attrack immigrants and
visitors to regions near the equator, marin
ers and tourists. Whether used as a safe
guard by sea voyagers, travellers by land,
miners, OF agricnlturallsts in newly popu-
lated districts, this fine specific has elected
the most favorable testimony.

How to Get Into the Naval Academy

The students of this national college
are called officially "naval cadets on
probation" the traditional title of mid
shipman having been changed first to
cadet midshipman, and subsequently,
so the engineer pupils might be in
cluded-to that now employed. Their
number is limited by law to one cadet
for every member or delegate of the
House of Representatives, and to eleven
others-ten at large and one from the
District of Columbia-appointed by the
President As the age of admission
falls between the limits of fourteen
and eighteen, and the course extends
six years, it follows, unfortunately,
that in certain districts appointments
may not be open more than once in
that period, thus making one-third of
its boys unavailable by reason of age.
The remedy proposed for this is only
one of fifty good reasons why the
course should be reduced from six to
four years.
To pass successfully the candidate
must be physically sound and of robust
constitution. have a sufficiently thor
ough knowledge of arithmetic, algebra,
history, reading, writing. and spelling,
and when appointed, be ready to take
an oath to serve for eight years, in
cluding the probationary period. When
a vacancy is likely to occur in any dis
trict, the Secretary of the Navy must
notify its Congressional Representative
as soon as possible after the 5th of
March in each year, and if by the 1st
of July no action has been taken, the
privilege lapses, and the Secretary is
t,, in,
As this system permits the choice of a
candidate to be deferred until the May
examination is really over, or, as in
the majority of cases, until the acad-
emic year is about to open, it would
seem to be infinitely better if a candj-
date and an alternate were named at
least one year previous to the May eX-
animation. This would enable the ap-
plicant to pursue course specially
fitted as direct preparation for his
professional studies, and if successful.
to go at once upon cruise, which
would teach him definitely his immedi-
ate aptitude for a sea-life. On the 9TH
er hand, should the principal fail, an
alternate stood ready to face the
same ordeal.
The low standard of admission is
based upon the theory that the posi-
bilities of the academy must be so freely
open to boys of every description as to
make it-what it is undoubtedly-the
most democratic government school in
the world. Practically this very just
theory impairs the efficiency of the
academy, as it pins the qualifications
at point which vigorously prohibits
the energies of the teachers and of the
average scholars being directed imme-
diately to the branches of education
connected with the naval profession.

Breaking In a Naval Cadet.

Within a few days the cadets shake
easily into their places. and by going
over the masthead every morning,
sending up and down the light spars,
and being ordered to get a pull here
and pull there and long pull alto
gether everywhere, during the best
part of their waking hours, they soon
acquire a nautical air and a fairly good
grip on the strange surroundings. Two
or three days later the ''Constellation"
drops down the Annapolis Roads,
stands into Chesapeake Bay, and the
long-looked-for cruise begins. Practi-
cal work commences at once, and If
the winds be unfavorable, and they are
usually, the ship beats down the bay
in the daytime and anchors at sunset.

nior class men in charge of the deck,

In the Bay at ST. Pierre, Martinique.

We anchor in limpid blue water; the
cannon-shot is answered by pro-
ionged thunder-clappinS OF mountain
echoes.
Then from the shore a strange flo
tilla bears down upon us. There is
one boat, two or three canoes; but the
bulk of the craft are simply white
wooden frames es-fat-bottomed struc-
lures made from shipping-cases or
lard-bOxes, with triangular ends. In
all of these sit naked boys-boys be-
tween ten and fourteen years of age
varying i'll color from Il fine clear yell
low to deep reddish-brown or choco-
late tint. They row with two little
square fat pieces of wood for paddles,
clutched in each hand, and these lid
shaped things are dipped into the wat
er on either side with absolute precision
in perfect time, all the pairs of little
naked arms seeming moved by single
impulse. There is much unconscious
summate skill. Then all about the
ships these ridiculous little boats be-
gin to describe circles, crossing and in
tercrossing so closely rs almost to
bring them into collision, yet never
touching. The boys have simply come
out to dive for coins they expect pas
sengers to fling to them. All are chat
tering creole, laughing, and screaming
shrilly; every eye, quick and bright as
a birds, watches the faces of the pas
sengers on deck. 'Tcntion-Ia!' shrek
a dozen soprani: some passengers
hand has descended into money
pocket, and all are on the alert
Through the air, twirling and glitter
ing, tumbles an English shilling, and
drops into the deep water beyond the
little feet. Instantly all the lads leap,
scramble, topple head-foremost, out of
their little tubs. aud dive in pursuit.
In the blue water their 1.-the figures
look perfectly red, all but the soies of
their unturned feet, which show quite
white. Almost Immediately they all
rise again; one holds up at arm $ length
above the water the recovered coin,
and then puts it into his mouth for
safe keeping. Coin after coin is thrown
in, and as speedily brought up; a show
er of small silver follows, and not a
piece is lost. These lads move through
the water without apparent effort,
with the suppleness of fishes. Most
are decidedly fne-looking boys, with
admirably rounded limbs, delicately
formed extremities. The best diver
and swiftest swimmer, however. is a
lenon-colored lad; his face is rather
commonplace, but his slim figure has
the fluent grace of an antique bronze.

California's Redwood Forests.

The magnificent redwoods which ex-
tend along the coast ranges, from
Monterey Bay to Siskiyou, constitute,
of course, the chief timber resources of
the State. 1t is from these forests that
the major part of the lumber used in
the State since the American occupa-
tion has been obtained. The drain on
these forests has necessarily been
enormous. In those redwood forests
adjacent to San Francisco Bay and
lying in the counties of San Mateo.
Santa Cruz, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and
Alameda, most of the merchantable
lumber in the original growth has been
removed long ago Fortunately the
denudation of these forests has not pro-
duced scene of utter desolation, such
as is sometimes pictured in the mind
as following in the wake of the lum-
berman's axe. In the greater portion
of these worked-over forests, where
the stumps have not been removed to
make way for fruit tree or vine, the
great vitality of the redwood has as
serted itself, and a dense growth of
saplings has sprung from the rnutila-
ted butts, and are rapidly approaching
a merchantable condition.
The same phenomenon of nature re-
storing the redwood forests is witnessed
in such parts of Mendocino and Hum
boldt counties as the lumberman has
already culled. An interesting Illus
tration of the renewal of these magnifi-
cent forest trees is presented in the
canons on the east side of the Contra
Costa and Alameda county range.
within few miles of this city, and
along the forest-clad slopes of Mount
Tamalpais, and the ranges of Sonoma
and Napa counties. The redwood for
ests on the range east of St. Helena, in
the latter county, supplied all the ties
used in the construction of the Napa
Valley Railway, and the new growth
has been drawn upon for years past for
posts and stakes for the whey ards and
orchards that are taking the place Of
the forests.-Sam francisco Bulletin.
