SAILING ON THE GREAT PACIFIC
Advantages of Circle Voyaging on sue
q Vast Area of Water.

Advantages of Circle VoyaGing on such
a Vast Area of Water.
The Pacific is the great ocean of our
planet. In comparison with it the North
Atlantic is mere strait, and the Indian
Ocean nothing more than the submerged
bench OF congeries OF drowned islands.
Along the line Of 700 south latitude the
width Of the Pacific is 1852 of Longitude,
says the San Francisco Cali, over one
third of the circumference of the globe.
Between it and the South Polar continent
nothing intervenes. Its norther extrem-
ity was probably at one time rounded oil
by the country which is now divided be-
tween Alaska and Siberia. When the
glacial masses moved to the pole the
polar current Glove its way through Beh-
ring Straits and interpOsed Behring Sea
between the Pacific and the Polar Ocean.
1t presents every form of ocean geog-
raphy. At the two extremities it is shall
low. There is a bench running along the
Aleutian Islands into the Gulf of Alaska
which comes within 100 fathoms of the
surface, with occasional holes so deep
that no apparatus can find bottom and be
recovered without breaking the wire, and
there is a corresponding bench in the
southwest portion of the sea, west of the
meridian OF 1902, where 100 fathOms is
also the average. Between this last
DGncn anu Inc ldllLllu0 Ol 90 uOTIU IU0TS
is a range of submarine rocky mountains,
with steep cliffs and sharp descents.
Three or four distinct mountain ridges,
with from two to three miles of water be-
tween them, have been counted between
the Hawaiian Islands and Australia.
On the Pacific can be found every va
riety Of climate and meteorolOgy. Out Of
Behring Sea pours the icy current which
cools our shore in summer; from the
equator flow summer currents warmer
than the Atlantic Gulf Stream, while the
current which sweeps around the south
Cape of Tasmania bears on Its bosom the
longest icebergs ever seen. AS It's name
indicates, it is a pacific ocean, swept by
gentle trade winds, bat the most terrific
typhoons described in meteorological
records have varied the chronicles of it's
placid surface. On a sea of such extent,
circle sailing must become q matter OF
moment. The Canadian steamers. sail
ing from Yokohama, in 30 degrees, to
| Victoria in 49 degrees, cross the meridian
of 100 degrees in 52 degrees, having COW
cred loo miles on the voyage; while the
Pacific Mail steamers, sailing by what ap-
pears on the map to be the straight line,
Francisco and YOkOhana. Assuming
the vessels to be equal in speed and to
steam at the usual rate OF going steam
ers on the Pacific, the Canadian line en-
joys an advantage Of about thirty-siX
hours over the American lines. This is
reduced to almost nothing when United
States ships pursue the northern course
and take the advantage of circle sailing.
The record-union., 1894-02-20
Allow STANDARD OF JUDGMENT

One of the Board of Trustees imagines
that he lost some horses once upon a
time because the animals drank of we'll
water somewhere in the country. Posi-
bly, that is properly tracing effect from
cause, but probably it is error.
But before his conclusion that it is
therefore bad for Sacramento to have a
domestic supply Of deep well water is
accepted, we should want to know from
what well the horses drank; when; under
what conditions; whore; the depth of the
well, and so on. But the thing is an alb
surdity. Horses have died also that
drank river water, plenty of them, and
they will continue to do SO, with just as
much probability of the water being the
cause of the death of the animals as in
the case of Mr.. Kent's horses.
If city Legislators are to advance and
stand by such silly reasons for opposing
clear water supply as that given by the
Trustee who lost his horses, then there is
no hope for intelligent city government.
In this office clear water from outside
deep wells has been used by the editorial
force and their families for many months
and neither the gentlemen of the corps
nor their households are to be persuaded
to return to the use of river water.
There is a score of families in the city
who pay city water rates and besides pay
q heavier rate to have outside deep we'll
water hauled daily to their houses. So
far as heard from not one of them will
return to the use of water that needs a
spoon.
Scientific analysis and experience ought
to stand with the Trustee referred to, for
a good deal more than his suspicion that
we'll water killed his horses. He ought
to consult the Superintendent of the
Almshouse and County Hospital and
hundreds of country householders where
deep-driven we'll water has been used
and no other. for twenty years for
both human beings and animals.
We protest against Sacramento being
legislated for upon the standards Mr..
Kent adopts, if we are to judge of his
views of duty from the expression he
made about his horses. A Trustee who
is conscientious and desirous of doing the
very best for the people will occupy the
judicial attitude, hear the testimony, for
II, IL
by it. Trustee Kent is doubtless we'll
meaning; his motive no one will assail,
but the RECORD UNION submits that it is
asking too much Of an intelligent COM
munity to come down to the level of Mr..
Kents idea about horses and well water
in Judging the quality of the new do
mestic, deep driven clear water supply
for this city.

be in possession of information through
his chief that Sheriffs cannot obtain.
Except for the fact that so many of the
criminal class flock to San Francisco
there would be no need of State Con-
stable there, the local police authority be-
ing ample for the locality. But a
deputy in San Francisco could be of
great service to his chief at the central
station by reason of the information he
could gather.
With the chief in telegraphic commu-
nication at any moment with each of his
deputies. and with all peace officers
throughout the State; and with each of
the deputies in close communication
with all peace officers in his section, him
self being really the head or chief sec
ton, it will be readily seen how instant
and Intelligent action could be-
Under such a system, the moment a
robbery or murder is reported. the chief
at the central station proceeds, through
his deputies and all peace officers, to
put the whole police machinery of the
State in motion to check escape, cut off re-
btreat and organize pursuit.
a force thus organized. in few months
would become powerful detective ma
chine. Its head would have as complete
knowledge as it is possible to acquire of
the whereabouts and doings OF all the
crooks in the land. He would be in COM
muuication constantly with every public
and private detective bureau in the
Union. and thus his force would be
equipped as that OF no Sheriff or localized
police can be. In fact, it is believed by
the oldest and best detectives that the
only way to put an efectual check upon
highway robbery in this State is to sys-
tematize the means of pursuit. 1t is
all done now in a slip-shod, disjointed
and frictional manner.
The probability is that to maintain such
a State constabulary as suggested, with a
clerk for the Chief, would not cost the
State to exceed $4,000 a year, or not
greatly more than the pursuit and capture
in the case Of three robberies now costs a
single county. The $4,000 would give
salaries commanding the best ability,
| courageous, resolute, trained men. 1t
would save to the taxpayers five times
the amount, since the present system is
about the costliest that can be devised,
and, besides, the burden of cost falls
mainly upon counties least able to bear
it, though the punishment and preven-
ton of these great crimes is for the benefit
and to the profit OF the wealthier sections
