Men And Their Hobbies.

A statement made by wise man 10
that Every honest man has hobby"
The man in question did not use these
precise words, says the american
CuttiuatOr, but they amount to the
same in substance.
A man who Is always tinkerin9
around, making something or other in
the mechanical line, is never found
spending his leisure hours in gin mill
or saloon. The young man whose hob
by is study will be found at his books
as soon as his days work is done and
supper is swallowed.
The chap who has music on the
brain" will be putting or scraping his
instrument early and late. until his
friends almost wish he would quit his
hobby and relegate himself to the rum
shop.
Many young men ride a mechanical
hobby, and are often building exper.
mental machines. and making young"
steam engines. To such men, electric.
ity possesses most enticing field.
There is no end to the directions in
which thought may be profitably turned
III COuHcCtiOu Will oicCtilCltNs NCil
developed as it is, electricity is rs yet
an almost unknown thing. which will
require lifetimes of study to reduce to
the full understanding of all. Elec-
tricity is the future power of the world
as it has always been its lifo. although
unknown and uncomprehended for
ages.
That a young man will waste hours
and days of his life in doing worse
than nothing, when he has such a field
before him, is scarcely to be compre.
hended. but it is disgraceful fact. Let
the young awake to the idea that the
advancement of the world depends
upon them personally; that the years
to come may be better or worse as
they choose to study or to be idle, and
it seems as though they would quit
beer drinking, dice shaking and card
shufiling instantly to avail themselves
of the privileges before them.
A man may be about what he makes
himself nowadays, and if lie chooses to
become a sot. the way is open; if he
chooses to become power in the land
he can do so by going to work in that
direction and keeping at it.

LACEY INVESTMENT COMPANY,

JOHN Simon, and Indian from Fort
Spokane, has been jailed at Spokane
on charge of murder. The Indian
killed an Indian woman named Chin
Pee, better known on Lots reservation
where she lived, as " Johnny's Mother"
She was over GO years old. The muir
derer confessed to the Indian police
while in confinement at Fort Spokane.
His first story was that four white
men did the deed, but when officers
visited the scene and found no tracks
in the sand, and confronted the ac-
cused with the evidence of blood on
his own person, he weakened. The
motive was trivial. Chim-Pee had re-
fused to allow him to lodge in her
tepee, and in a fl of anger he hacked
her body with knife.

That's so,' said another. but he told

The United States is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that an astronomical
observatory is now considered neces-
sary attachment to every important
college in the country. The achieve
ments of American astronomers will
in consequence leap ahead of those of
other nations rapidly. 1t cannot be
otherwise. The impetus to this pro
gress was given as far back as 1914,
when General Chen Professor) Nit
chel founded the Cincinnati observa-
tory in what was comparatively west
ern wilds. 1t is thus fact that the
first of the large observatories in this
country was established in a young
western city.
Professor Edward S. Holden, Direc-
tor of the Lick observatory, has called
attention to some of the things accom-
plished by American astronomers.
The story is calculated to make us feel
proud of our men of science in this
field at least.
We learn from Professor Holden's
paper that the method of taking longi-
tude by telegraph was invented and
applied here; also an American
astronomer first discovered that ter.
restrial ATTITUDES 60 through slight
changes regularly in cycle of 400
days. Americans have distanced the
| rest of the world in their achievements
in celestial photography. in New
York was taken the first daguerrotype
of the moon, and the first photograph
of nebula was made in our country.
Who has not stood in clockmak-
er's shop listening to the king of the
| tiny bell that registers by electricity
| every pendulum beat OF the great
astronomical clock at Washington,
and so gives all the country the exact
| time? This electrical clock is an
American invention. AS long ago as
1917 the supercargo of an American
| ship, Bowditch, translated Laplaces's
Mecanique Celeste" A little later a
famous European astronomer visited
an American merchant ship at Lon
don and found that every member of
the crew, even to the negro cook,
understood perfectly the method of
determining longitude by Tuner dis
tances. Americans lack as yet the
training and thoroughness necessary
for producing the finest astronomical
clocks and chronometers. But, on
the other hand, Professor Holden tells
us the micrometer screw that reaches
nearest perfection is that made by
Professor Rowland of Johns Hopkins,
| while Clarke's telescope lenses and
prisms are famous the world over.

Tho Peanut Industry.

The "goober" industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here il little city in Virginia
that mas become the greatest distribut-
ing center of peanuts in the world. A
peanut is pretty small item, but anan-
nual crop Of something like 5000, 900
bushels, worth millions of dollars,
makes pretty big item.
The demand for goobers has doubled
within the last five years, and the sup
ply does not yet fll the growing demand.
Few people know the curious uses to
which tho goober has been put in trade
quite Of late yqrs. No other single
plant raised in this country is used in so
many different ways. The Chinese say
tae cocoannt palm has as many useful
properties as there arc days in the year.
The goober is not SO universal as that,
but it has as many valuable qualities as
there are days in the week. The solid
part of tho nut is peculiarly nutritive
and supplies fruit and food for many a
family. The vines mako fine fodder,
some say as good as clover hay, while
hogs fatten on what is left in the fields
after the crop has been gathered. Now

Eullct Waves.

One of tho interesting results of the
recent experiments in England in photo
graphing dying bullets has been to show
that the disturbance in the air travels
faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity Of sound.
In ono case whero the bullet was moy-
ing considerably faster than sound tray-
els in the air it was preceded by an at
mospheric disturbance which, at the
moment the photograph was taken. was
half an inch in advance of the point Of
the bullet. Even when the bullets were
travelling four times as fast as sound the
atmospheric disturbance kept ahead Of
them. " outh's Companion.

without doubt the Santa Ana track
will grow in popularity. Everything is
now in readiness for the meeting. aud
indications point to week of rare
sport.
Next week Los Angeles will be the
point of interest, for the racera will be
with us. From what l have heard on
the Santa Ana track, am led to be-
lieve that the northern sporting mon
will all be here to gamble money that
Klamath will beat Mckinney in the
fFee-ior-all trot here. Certainly this
event will prove tho great one OF the
meeting. klamath and Mckinney are
very evenly matched as to speed, and If
the northern horse can be got to behave
he will give Durfee's etallion hard
race. Still have every confidence in
McKinnsy's ability to defeat the fast
trottsr from the land OF much rain and
midwinter fairs.
Cash Harvey, the manager of the fair
grounds ct Santa Ana, can tax the birds
off the trees on horses and why the
Santa Ana and Los Angeles race meet
ings are to be the best seen in the state
this year. He says Los Angeles will
have the greatest trotting centest ever

Santa Ana will be seen the greatest pac-
