Great Improvement Noticeable In Their
Construction.
During the past ten years there has
been a great Improvement in the con-
struction OF small bridges and sluices,
especially as regards efficacy and dura-
bility. The Improvement consists
mainly in the use OF vitrifed sewer
pipe, which, IL properly placed In posi-
ton. will he found in good condi-
tion after many years, while the com
mon wooden and stone sluices, as usu-
ally constructed, need more or less at
tention after a time.
When the old wooden or stone sluice
Is one foot square, a sewer pipe ten
inches inside diameter will remove the
water equally as well, as there Is com
paratiyely no friction and no impedi-
ment or stoppage as by the old process,
as the water glides noiselessly through
on the smooth, glazed surface. The
chief points 10 be observed In the use
OF these pipes is 20 have the upper sur
face OF the pipe at least one foot below
the surface Of the roadway, and that
the discharge or outlet end be at least
-FOUR lncncs lower imam lne upper OF
inlet Also that when discharged the
water flows off freely, and does not
back up into the pipe. Danger from
the latter need only be feared during
winter.
II is not an uncommon thing TO see
sluices and bridges of pipe where the
water has formed n channel alongside
the pipe, and the earth has caved In
from the road surface. This, Of course,
shows faulty construction, stones and
pieces OF the old sluices having been
placed In contact with the outer sur
face Of pipe, and during high water
none OF It's finds its way along the in-
terstiees thus formed, and soon enough
soil is removed 10 cause trouble.
Hence never place stone or wood in
such positions, but I'll in with earth
firmly rammed.
For bridges, or where the pipe is
over foot In diameter, the bank upon
the inlet side should be laid up with

JELLY MANUFACTURE.

A Desirable Substitute for the Bags Now

One OF the great benefits that accrue
from fourishing small fruit garden
IS the opportunity IL gives Of canning,

OF the surplus fresh fruit for winter
use. Those who make jelly and use
the ordinary jelly bags are familiar
with the inconvenience, the staining
OF hands and the spilling OF juice that
result from such use. To make the

And swcetly chimes my welcome home

The court of inquiry appointed by Gov
ernor Markham to investigate the conduct
of the officers during the recent strike at
Sacramento convened in the Nationals
armory on Ellis street yesterday after
noon.
1t had been arranged to hold the first
session in the forenoon, but owing to the
non-arrival of Colonel Park Henshaw of
Chico, commander of the Eighth Infantry
and presiding officer of the court. the or
ganiZation of the court had to be- deferred

The court was organized by appointing
