NAV be inconsistent with the code, it
is, of course, of no effect, being necessar-
ily subject to it. Whether any portion
of the charter, directing what proceed
ings shall be had In the superior court
in such actions, are or are not inconslst-
ent with the code and constitution, and
if consistent, are, or are not OF any valid
ity as laws, are questions that nay arise
at a subsequent stage of the proceedings,
but they do not affect the question of
the Jurisdiction of the court. The court
derives it's jurisdiction, in cases like the
present, from the constitution and the
code and not from the city charter.
1t is also claimed that the charter
does not authorize a condemnation OF
private property for the purpose OF re-
grading street, nor in case where the
property is not taken but only damaged.
The answer to this, even if it is true,
is that the Vrooman act authorizes
cities to do the work necessary to re-
grade streets, and the constitution de-
clares that private property shall not be
damaged for public use without COM
pensation, and the code of civil pro-
cedure provides how the compensation
shall be assessed. Hence no resort to
charter provisions is necessary.
No other objections are urged to the
complaint. l think the demurrer should
be overruled, and it is so ordered.

American shipbuilding.

EDITORS HERALD: The editorial in
your issue of the 28th, advocating the
buying of government vessels in foreign
countries, wherever the best and cheap
est could be bought, shows how different
men will think, although their aims are
the same, their interests alike and their
patriotism of the same good caliber.
You make claim as to what is the
best interest of our country. Many
others, including myself differ from you,
and speaking for myself, if not for the
others, I will say that l am marching
under the same political banner as your
selves, SO the difference of opinion is
not difference of party belief.
When [ read your editorial it seems
to me you had struck very unpatriotic
chord, especially in the reasons you give,
or at least you did not make very
happy CIR wise suggestion.
Unfortunately your editorial is not at
hand just now. So | may not be able
to meet your argument altogether fairly
or fully.
But OF all the industries extending
from the northern point of Maine to the
most southern promontory of California
that should be protected the building OF
vessels, especially the building of naval
vessels for the government, should be
the most.
There are several good reasons for
this. One is, that the larger part of
the expense in building vessel is the
cost of labor. Therefore labor in that
industry comes in for a larger share of
the protection. Another reason is, to
discourage or lose the art of shipbuild-
ing in commercial nation like this,
would be to lower the honor and dignity
of the nation, and probably in time
menace its very existence. Suppose
your suggestions were carried out, and
thereby the art of shipbuilding was lost
to this country and we depended on
other nations for our cruisers. Now,
while in state of security, without a
navy as we were a short time ago,
civil war was to break out and the ship
building countries sympathized with
the rebel states and refused to sell any
more cruisers to the government, where
then, in that pitiable condition, would
be our national existence?
Or where would that existence be if
these same shipbuilding nations were to
combine and make war on usP
One great reason for the fall of Rome
was that her citizens entered a luxuri-
GUS life, thereby losing, in great meas
ure, the art of war, and depending on
soldiers from other countries to wage
her battles. The result was that those
same soldiers turned about and de-
stroyed Rome.
Unhappy the day when we depend on
Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-31

other nations to make our vessels any
more than to make our soldiers.
Comparing ourselves withe Chile is
preposterous.
Because that little nation, lacking the
proper, mechanical ingenuity and
resources, has to 60 abroad for her
ships of war, or do without, is no sign
we have to do the same.
We can build ships just as well, and
perhaps better than England and
France. II we cannot with such sea
coast and vast commercial interests at
stake, we had better give place to bet
ter race of men. But we can, as our
late new cruisers show, and if we had
had more (numbers) patriotic and wise
men at the helm of state, the last gen.
GRAFTON, the showing, both in the
merchant and naval marine, would be
still better.
There are few Democrats but believe
that there are some interests in this
country which should be protected.
Not to sustain any demagogic and aris-
tocratic party, not to richly line the
pockets Of few at the expense of the
many, not to create a surplus in the
treasury for itching palms and roguea,
but for the honor, dignity and safety of
the government we love so well. B.

RAIN GAUGE.
Why Our Signal Service Rain Meas
urements are False.

Why Our Signal Service Rain Meas
urements are False.
EDITORS HERALD: In the HERALD of
Saturday, January 30th, mention is made
of large discrepancy between the re-
ports of the signal service and those of
Mr.. Ducommun, Mr.. German and the
Southern Pacific railroad, the signal
service being 72 hundreths less than the
others in the gauging of one of the
recent showers.
The surmise of the HERALD that this
is due to the height of the signal service
gauge, it being located on the roof of
the Wilson block, is doubtless correct.
The following quotations from treatise
on water supply engineering, by G. F.
Tanning, which by the way. is the hy-
draulic engineers bible, proves the
above statement and shows that meas
urements taken by elevated gauges are
less accurate than those taken on the
ground, if. indeed, they are of any
value whatever.

grass around smoothly trimmed in the
summer. The gauge should be placed

trees and shrubs so that the volume of
rain gathered shall not be augmented
or reduced by wind eddies," page So.
''It has been observed at numerous
places that elevated pluviometers in
dicated less rain than those placed in
the neighboring ground. When there
is wind during a shower, the path of the
drops is parabolic, being much inclined
in the air above, and nearly vertical at
the surface OF the ground. A circular
rain gauge, held horizontally, presents
to inclined drops an elliptic section, and
consequently less effective area than
to vertical drops. The law due to
height alone is not satisfactorily estab-
lished, though several formule OF cor
rection have been suggested, some of
which were verv evidently based upon
erroneous measures of rainfall
The observed rainfall at Greenwich
observatory, England, in the year 1896,
is reported at ground level 23S inches
in depth at % feet higher, .S07 of that
quantity, and at 30 feet higher, AZ Of
that quantity.
The observed rainfall at Yorkshire
museum, England, in the years 1929
"a, is reported, for yearly average, at
ground level, as 81 Az inches; at A feet
higher, 81 as much, and at 213 feet

THE PISTOL WAS EMPTY
But 1t Cooled the Wrath of Deceived
Lover

Lover.
There is story going the rounds
which is quite rough on a very young
clerk employed in one OF the biggest
stores in Los Angeles. The young man
in question fell desperately in love with
a young woman who inhabits lodging
house on First street. The counter
jumper labored under the delusion that
the fair adventures was enamored
of him. Several days ago he was unde-
ceived in very forcible manner. Next
day he repaired to the lodging house
with the intention of taking down the
girl who had played him false.
He knocked at the door like the hero
in a dime novel story, and was admitted,
and minute after 1t looked as if there
might be tragedy. The youngster was
giving the adventures sound lecture.
All at once she produced pistol and
threatened to shoot.
'.Say one more word and 1 will fire."
said the fair girl, as she pointed the
weapon at the trembling youth.
s'For Gods sake don't fire." implored
the now thoroughly scared young man,
as he sank down upon his knees.
The youthful admirer soon took his
departure. The pistol, needless to re-
late, was not loaded, and now the clerks
in the store never miss chance to guy
the hero of the above adventure.

A problem which has been puzzling
mechanical engineers all over the world
ever since steam as motive power
came into general use has at last been
solved, it appears. British papers state
that.an engineer living in Glasgow has
lately completed, after nineteen years
experimenting, a device for steam en-
gines by which all steam is returned
back to the boiler after doing its work
in the cylinders. In several cases, it Is
said, he has Unstable his engine and it is
at work with extraordinary results. In
one case, in a textile factory, the engine
with his device is doing as much work
with one ton Of coal as it formerly did
with ten tons The problem of how to
make use of the vast amount Of steam

doing certain work has long occupied
engineers, and its thorough solution

It's composition varies from s2.75 to g5.s2 Of

EGYPTIAN LOTUS IN sHAw's GARDENS.
The wise men Of Egypt believed that
water was the origin Of all things, and
that the lotus, as it disappears beneath the
waves Of the Nile, is typical Of Khepra, or
the sun, forever dying and always being
born again. The diurnal closing and un.
folding never ceases until the blossom per.
ishes and the seed vessels are formed.
The flowers offer great diversity Of
color and are white, crimson, blue, pink
and yellow. They often attain TO the
height of five feet, varying with the depth
Of the water on which they float. The
lotus is successfully grown in this country
notably in Central park and Union square.

Louis, according TO Vick's Magazine, from
which the accompanying cut is repro
