based upon the elaborate data taken ON
board OF each Of the vessels stationed
on the course.
The work Of calculation Is very complex,
and as large sums Of money are at stake,
Il must o. Doe conducted very carefully.
These facts have caused the engineer
officers Of the navy TO regret that the
new standardized screw" system OF OBJ
tanning the actual speed OF vessels was
not adopted In the trial Of the New York.
They argue that u certainly has the
merit Of simplicity, and the result I'm the
case OF the New York would have been
known in ten minutes after crossing tho
line. IL would also have shown a bet
ter result In speed than can be expected
under the present system, because Il
would have made OF itself allowance for
the retarding effects Of adverse or cross
winds, which cannot now be- calculated.

SACRAMENTO newspaper men

session. One enterprising journal
criticised the moral tone Of the
California law makers, picturing
them as lewd, lascivous and OBJ

more than the thin-skinned solons
could stand and they promptly
passed a bill submitting a PROPOSE
ton for the removal of the capital

he reached a woody dingle, dark even
in winter from the imp pending branches
Of the surrounding forest. Into this
gloomy retreat, he started with hurry
ing strides, for the gloominess sent a
shadow Of fear along his keel. He
thought Of wildcats, wolves, and
dozens of other denizens Of the glades
that might be lurking in this uncanny
corner Of the heavy woods. These
thoughts accelerated his footsteps and
also destroyed his caution. His foot
caught in a tangle of brush and vines,
:
and he went headlong down into the
brush and snow and worse than all
plump down upon a large wild cat fast
by one foot in a trap and crouched low
to let the intruder pass. The surprise
was mutual but the cat more quickly
gained his composure and began to
make the fur fly from Mr.. Lund's boom

could get in a dig. OF course it were
only momentary before Mr.. Lund be-
gan to think Of emigrating, yet that
brief round had been a sorry one for
him, his suspenders were broken, his
left boot gear was gone, one band badly
scratched, his left leg bleeding, the
buttons nearly all gone, or button-holes
torn out from his clothing, and other
habiliments torn up before
he could roll away beyond the length
of chain holding the trap and cat. Mr..
Lund managed to reach home though
somewhat used up from his encounter
