The likelihood seems to be that rapid
fire guns will before long practically SUI
persede the great cannon of the old style,
which have grown to be So gigantic as to
be unwieldy. Then they are much cheap
er also A 110-ton gun costs $50, 5000
Its average life is only ninety-fve shots,
which means that it is no good after it
has fired that number of projectiles. On
this basis of reckoning, each shot costs
about 5000, without counting the powder
aud proiectile, which cost 1920 more
Sixteen hundred and fifty dollars pop
is a good deal to pay 1t is true that
when a missile from such a weapon hits
anything the latter is likely to be seri-
ously affected. One experimental shot
with 10 ton gun sent the projectiIe thro
twenty inches of solid steel, eight inches
of wrough iron, twenty feet of solid oak,
five feet Of granite, eleven feet of con-
crete and four feet of brick back of all
the rest. The striking energy of the
cOnical bullet amounted to 1890 foot
tons which was equivalent to the power
necessary to lift five giant ships of the
size of the steamer City of New York
one foot out of water. 1t will be re-
membered that the famous Jubilee shot,
fred from a gun ON the occasion of the
Queens jubilee, fell at distance thirteen
miles, attaining at the highest part of its
trajectory an elevation of four miles.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-30

The HERALD has occasionally referred
to important developments which are
about to take place in the application OF
electricity as motor for the propulsion
of street cars and railway trains on the
primary battery system. BY this new
invention trolley wires and power houses
are dispensed with. In our local col
umns, under the usual head devoted to
railways, we reproduce from the Chica-
go Herald an account OF the successful
trial at Peoria, on the Rock Island
road, OF locomotive of the Pennock
primary battery system. 1t will be seen
that the locomotive is to be taken to
Chicago, where it will remain for fort
night for the examination of those in
terested in the new motor power,
and that it will then be brought to
California, where, it is said, several
street railways are waiting for the sys
tenn. We do not know what the rela-
tive expense is OF operating the two
styles OF car propulsion-the trolley wire
and primary battery-but we are. e.assured
that the latter is by lar the least expen-
sive. Its other advantages are obvious,
as it does away with all unsightly poles
and overhead wires, and dispenses with
the necessity Of expensive power houses.
Evidently in electrical matters the
world "do move"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-30
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OUGHT TO HAVE
APENITEN rIARY.

A source of great expense to Los An
geles county is the constant deportation
of criminals to San Quentin and Folsom.
1t costs great deal of money to carry
these people up five or six hundred
miles. It is also great expense to the
adjoining counties. Why should it be
incurred?
The six southern counties of California
send enormous sums of money yearly to
Sacramento in excess of anything they
receive back in the shape of the school
fund. An inexpensive State Normal
school, the State Reform school at Whit
tier and the insane asylum at San Ber'
nardino are all that we have ever re-
ceived from the state in. Southern Cali
fornia. On the other hand, it is per-
fectly safe to assume that, since the
yesr 1880, we have sent about four
millions of dollars from this county
alone to Sacramento in excess OF the
amounts that have been returned to US
as school appropriations. Taking the
whole six southern counties, it is per-
seotly safe to assume that the sum thu 8
sent to the state treasury at Sacramento
has amounted to between eight and
nine millions during that period. For
this large sum of money Southern Cali
fornia has nothing to show but the
buildings uamed. II we had state of
South California this money would
either have remained in the pockets OF
the people or would have been used in
improving existing state institutions in
our midst or creating new ones.
Southern California needs state pen
itentiary. 1t is ridiculous that when a
man has been convicted of crime the
southern counties should be compelled
to convey him five or six hundred miles,
paying the expenses of deputy sheriff
to accompany him, involving three fares,
with incidental expenses in each case.
In demanding such an institution we
have not thought of selishness. We
do not care where it is located, although
common sense would suggest that the
site ought to be central, both on account
of convenience and of the saving OF ex-
pense. Los Angeles county would full
fill these conditions remarkably well.
So would Orange county, which would
be on the direct line of the railway sys-
tenn of Southern California. San Ber-
nardino, like Los Angeles county, has
already been the recipient of the states g
bounty. Ventura. county would serve
admirably and would not be out OF the
line.
But no matter where it is located. we
ought to have penitentiary, and a lit
tie energy upon the part OF the members
from the south in the next legislature
will secure it for us.

WE HAyE received the annual report
of the State Board of Horticulture of
the state of California. 1t is a very
elaborate work and is quite voluminons,
filing nearly five hundred pages. We
shall take an early occasion to examine
it and lay our impression of it's princi-
pal features before our readers. 1t deals
with the vine pest and the scale-bug,
and is copiously illustrated with colored
cuts. We are also indebted to some
member of congress, whose name had
been torn off the wrapper when we first
saw it, for an obviously valuable work
on Irrigation and Water Storage in the

to windows and showcases and fattened
their noses against the panes to see the

Not few of the schools and acad-

study the phenomena pertaining thereto.
There was not enough snow to cause
