A PROMINENT official in one of the Lon
don libraries says that the life OF few
novels is over one year. IT that's all
they are good for in the way of longevity,
it's pity some of them couldn't die on
the proof-resder's deck. However,
nearly all modern novels are based upon
the supernatural, and that is a field
which is soon exhausted. Weshall then
have a brief interregnum of common
sense, when the Rudyards cease from
kipling and the Hazards ride no more.

WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

1t will be many long months before
the Legislature meets and can take any
wise action to carve out necessary and
advantageous plans to create public
works that would give employment TO
the men who are now suffering from en-
forced idleness in this state. We have
heretofore in these columns outlined
several avenues of industry in which the
state might engage large force of pen
to great public advantage. The reclaim
alton of our tule lands has been fail
ure, because the system adopted by the
laws was based upon a false principle.
The swamp and over1e we'd lands of the
tive great rivers were divided into many
independent reclamation districts, when
the lands bordering on each side OF the
rivers should have been one continuous
district, and the work of reclamation
one complete plan for each dis
trict. 1t is perfectly useless, for
instsRce, to attempt to reclaim O district
located on the lower Sacramento whilst
the districts above are left open to food,
and destroy ali reclamation work that
had been done below them. The legis-
lature could devise one complete plan,
for say the west bank OF the Sacramento,
beginning at the upper end and working
down. That would give employment to
lands that are now productivity worth
less would be made valuable and the
reclamation work profitable. OF course
there are many details to be considered
in perfecting legislation on such sub
ject, and many difficulties, legal and
other, to be overcome. But there is in
the suggestion the opening idea of
a great and available public work
that would give extensive employment
to labor and result in unquestionsbly
great advantage to the state.
But the pressing question is to enable
the idle and suffering men now crying
loudly for relief to engage at once in
work that would afford them an i'm.
mediate return. The placer mines of
this stste afford a vast field in which
men could find enough pay dirt to yield
that would enable an army of |
men to live. There is not a |
yulch or rsvine in the northern or
southern mines, not river bar nor
bank in that whole region, which car.
lot be worked ever again and be made
o yield enough of their yellow treasures
o pay something to the industrious
elvers. 1t is true that the re-
urns would necessarily be very mod
st when compared with the re-
urns of the miners in those
elds in early days. But the individual
lot make enough to secure needed aup-
plies would be very few. The yield in
lie aggregate would be very great, and |
n these days of gold appreciation there
would be public advantage rendered
oy the reworking of our placsrs in add
ng to our stock of new gold.
A philanthropic organization for the |
purpose of sending unemployed men
into the old mines and furnishing them
with the necessary outfit, would help to
practically solve the labor dilemma that
is upon US. The old mines will pay
living wages if reworked, and there
would undoubtedly be important dis
coveries made by the prospecting that
such a revival of interest in our gold
plscsEs would induce. We are OF those
who believe that there is more treasure
in our mountains available to the placer
miner than has ever been taken out.

A CITIZEN of Los Angeles has invented
o machine, which has been practically
tested at Long Beach, to utilize the
power Of the wash of the ocean to run
machinery. His plan ia a very simple
one, and differs from all the methods we
have seen in that it derives its power
from the lateral movement OF the waves
back and forth, instead Of attempting to
produce the motive force from the verti-
cal action Of the swels. For instance,
the force is derived from the action OF
the surf pushing against paddles as it
comes in and recedes, thus making
double pendulum motion, which
by the aid OF whsela can be
transmitted to machinery stationed
on the shore, and thus utilized
for pumping or other purposes. The
simplicity of the method OF application
Of wave power by this process is its
best recommendation to practical use.
It locks to us az if this invention will
solve the problem of utilizing the i'm

mense and uAlinited power that is row
spent by the wash on our ocean
beaches. This power is csaseless, and
il successfully utilized by q cheap in
vention will prove the least costly Of
all the motive powers derived from
natural forces. Even the power Of
water produced by grAvitation will not
be found SO invariably economical in
application as that of the ceaseleus wash
OF the ocean if successfully applied to

HAZARDS PAVILION. evening
Sousa's grand band will hold forth at
Hazards pavilion, and the indications
are that q splendid audience will be
present TO listen to melodious strains of
the celebrated aggregation of artists of
which the talented musician and COM
poser is the leader. SousA's baud was
the great band of the worlds fair and
has just concluded a most successful en-.
gsgemsnt at the r1idwinter fair. Its
excellence is apparent from the fact that
it ia the only one which has made re.
munerstive concert tours possible. Its
such an eminent critic as Warren bAven..
port OF the Boston Traveller holds that
it ia the best military band in the coun-
try. The finish and exquisits delicacY
and lovely tone contrasts of Sousa's
band have never been brought out by
any similar musical organization in the
United States. lts pianissimos are as
soft and melodicus as the spinning tones
Of the human voice.
Miss Inez Mscusker, the renowned
soprano, who will make her frst appear.

vilion tonight, is entirely worthy OF
the organization with which she ap-
peers. She unites to a charming per-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Supporters
of Congressman Stones immigration
bill are friendly to Senator HilPs bill to
exclude anarchists, because it is the
first step toward the inspection of i'm
migrants at foreign ports. 1t provides
for twelve immigrant agents, salaried at
81, 500, to investigate the anteoedents of
immigrants. Other countries have al
ready adopted this plan. 1t has been
brought out that inspectors for other
countries have been sending rejected
immigrants to the docks of American
liners, and it is feared that this practice
will be continued at ports left unguard-
ed by inspectors.
The reference of these bills to the
judiciary committee is criticised, be-
cause it is known that the committee is
opposed TO further restrictive measures.
