THE MANUFACTURES OF MACHINERY.

Los Angeles is destined to become a
great city for the manufacture of
machinery. Our foundries have already
exhibited capacity in this regard that
nobody would have believed attainable
ten years ago.
We noted the fact few days ago that
the Fulton works had turned out an
immense pump for the City Water COM
pany. This pump is pronounced to be
one Of the finest and most powerful ever
manufactured on this coast, and will
force up all the water supply of the hill
system. 1t is not long since the Baker
foundry built an entire and elaborate
water system for Santa Ana. which has
worked with great satisfaction.
The cost OF freight on machinery
brought from the east by rail is great
enough to more than Offset the increased
cost of fuel and raw material at this
point over eastern points. But even
this difference will be equalized as soon
as we have secured rail communication
between Southern Utah and Los An
gees. When we are supplied with
coke, coal and iron from the mines of
that territory, our foundries and ma
chine shops will be on more than an
equal TO )ting with the manufactures of
of the east, and will have the cardinal
advantage of nearness to the mines of
our own section and Southwestern Ma
vada and Arizona to furnish all the mills
and machinery which those territories
will need.
When we reflect that the freight
charges on machinery from the east run
over 81 80 per 100 pounds, we can read
lily see that our foundries are in position
to expand their business greatly. And
when we look ahead and see the vast
amount of machinery our mining terri
tories will require in their future devel-
opment, we cannot but realize that
there ia a most profitable time coming
for the iron workers of Los Angeles.
The impetus which irrigation has had
will also add greatly to the business OF
our foundries, and with the develop
ment of new industries connected with
our increasing fruit culture, all sorts of
machinery will be required. Indeed it
would be impossible now to forecast the
immensity of the business that will
pour in upon our foundries as the Him
table back country of Los Angeles de-
velops.

THE funeral OF the late S. Clinton
Hastings, the first justice of the supreme
court of California, took place in San
Francisco Tuesday. Judge Hastings
was a frequent visitor to lbs Angeles
and was widely known here. He en-
dowed and founded the Hastings law
college of the State University. He was
possessed of very great fortune, reach
ing into the millions, and was the most
remarkable man in many ways this
Htate ever had among her citizens. He
laid the foundation of his great fortune
by securing immense quantities of lane
in pioneer days.

was out OF order. In fact, the alarm
system has been Ito use the words OF
Chief Curran) "simply rotten" for
months; and all because, two years ago,
the council saw fl to place (for the sake
of economy in wages) the system under
corporation employee. who, owing his
prominence to that corporation, would
serve that corporation first and the city
afterwards.
Just who will succeed Mr.. Hogan is
not yet known, but the choice lies be-
tween Mr. Thye and man named Nor
ton, who has had fourteen years. expe-
rience in San Francisco in this very
class of work. The HERALD has no
preferences in this matter. Any COM
petent person is good enough for US, so
long as he gives his undivided time to
the performance of bis official duties.
Mr.. Hogan will not leave the district
company's employ either. The truth is
that Los Angeles is building up so very
rapidly and the mileage of alarm wires
increasing so fast, that it is one mans
work to look after the fire alarms alone,
and will consume all his time.
Messra. Kuhrts and Brodrick are de-
serving of the thanks of the public for the
way in which they are taking hold OF
fire department affairs, with view OF
cutting off leaks in various ways, al
though this remark has no application

are doing good work, and the new COM

herself requires it, and it is perfectly
proper.
''The matter of measurements" the
sculptor continued, in reply to ques-
ton, sis very important one in the
contest, and it will undoubtedly be a
difficult one. Any woman can put on a
gauze costume and have her picture
taken, but to measure her own proper
tions is not so easy. In fact, a woman
should not attempt to do the work her.
self, but should stand erect, like SOL
der, while some competent assistant
takes the measurements. That is the
only way of being accurate, and any
slight valuation from the real proper
tions would be detrimental in the con-
test.
HOW TO MEASURE THE PROPORTIONS.
"All measurements should be from
one well-defined point to another.
This the process that I would recon-
mend:
sect the entire height. From the
central point of the collar bone, right
where the front of the neck begins,
measure the length of the trunk of the
body and then measure the remainder
of the distance to the ankle. Measure
the waist Get the largest measurement
about the hips Measure the circumfer-
ence of the chest and also of the body
just above the waist.
Measure the face from the lower
point of the chin to the edge of the
hair on the forehead. Measure the neck
from the collar bone, as before, to the
lowest point of the ear.
Measure the arm from shoulder to
elbow and from the elbow to the prom
inent point Of the bone at the end of the
wrist. Measure the circumference of
the arm at the muscle, at the elbow and
at the middle of the forearm.
Measure the leg from the hipbone to
the upper line of the knee and from the
knee to the outside ankle bone. Measure
the circumference of the thigh, half way
between the hipbone and the knee.
Measure the circumference of the lower
part of the leg twice. at equal distances
between the knee and the ankle.
Measure the bust from the central
point of the colar-bone
"Sculptors use very different system,
making one measurement of the body
relative to first measurement, as the
length of the body may be certain
number of times the length of the face.
But for the present purposes, to enable
us to compare each candidate with the
Venus de Milo, we have to resort to the
tapeline, and that will be sufficient"

OUT IN THE COLD.


Disagreeable Experience OF street Car
Passengers.
Passengers who took late electric car
from up town were kept waiting for q
full hour atFifth and Broadway, for the
Park thester to close, on Wednesday
night. There were no less than six OF
seven cars similarly detained at that
point. and the shivering passengers be-
leved it to be unnecessary.
II the passengers on all the cars hac
been transferred to the forward car and
sent on their way, they would not have
reached their homes long after midnight
and would have been saved very Ions
and disagreesble detention. The electric
car service, excellent as it is, can be i'm
proved in respect to the theater waits.

THE senate committee to investigate
the railroad commissioners pay back
handed compliment to those officials
when they say that the commissioners
are reasonably competent for the offices
which they till." The people should be
served by officers whose competency
would admit of no qualification go broad
and equivocal. 1t is safe to say that the
railroad corporations do not select men
to attend to their affairs who are only
reasonably competent.
