BERKELEY.

Much activity of the Town Marshal in
relation to the collection of licenses has
caused no little connection. Some have
been paid without regard to the amount of
business done. and there are a few which
have not been paid at all.
The town derives quite large revenue
from the issuance of licenses and would be
a loss for carrying oil the government if
they were cut off. Some of the merchants
think that all of the license tax should be
paid by the liqu or dealers and those ped
dlers and drummers who come here from
other places to dispose of their goods. A
recent legal decision in relation TO the tax
ing OF drummers who do interstate bust
ness may reach furth er than the State line
and come to towns and villages. If that
decision is sustained by the Supreme
Court the FAX that is now collected by the
Berkeley authorities will have TO be re-

Her new owners are very proud of the

oy her present owners, who were recently
offered $500 for her, but refused 1t. They
are now thoroughly overhauling the boat,

ACTORS SWEAR BY HIM.

A San Francisco Angel Whose Pocket
 book Is Open to tho Needy Thespian.
 If you want to hear the name of any man mentioned with enthusiasm and reverence go among the actors congre- gated on upper Broadway, New York, some afternoon, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Grant? Oh, no. Cleveland? Not much, Anybody you ever heard of before? Never a bit. It's John Rademaker. And who on earth is John Rademaker? you will wonder. Just ask the first actor you meet.
 ''Why, of course I know John Rade- maker! He lives in Frisco, and IS the best man who ever drew breath!''
 But who is he and what does he do and what has he done? That is what you naturally want to know. Then you'll find out from two or three men at the same time that John Radcmaker keeps big saloon in San Francisco and is an angel" When an actor from the east gets stranded in San Francisco, or indeed anywhere on the Pacific coast, he goes straight to John Rademalzer. It appears that John Rademaker has an elastic and sympa- thetic auricular appendage that is al- ways wide open to the reputable men in the profession who get stuck on the slippery slope. Those who have never been stranded two thousand miles from home, with an idle summer ahead and no bank account, will not be able to realize what such friendship means. Imagine yourself in London without friend and without a cent, as some Americans are always to be found there, and you'll know what the sen sation is to the actor left in Frisco at the close of the season. Then imagine a man like John Rademaker in the strand to whom you go and pour out your tale of woe, and who pulls out his roll and says to you:
 s'Wcll, old man, I don't know you; but from what I've heard of you I think you'll make this good when you're in better luck. I'll take my chances on you, anyhow. I'll jlst stake you for strip home. Oh, that's all right don't want any paper-if you're not square your papers no good. Now, what'n you have to drink?'

Damascus Swords.

To the lovers of strange goods the bazars of Damascus are far more allur- ing than those of Cairo or of ConstaL- . tinople; the capacious chests of the merchants contain much that we would buy were our purses longer. Gld em- broideries of wonderful color, delicete china, silks of many hues, swords of cunning workmanship, all these lie piled beside us on the floor. It is but seldom that really good specimen of the Damascus sword can be obtained, for the art of working and engraving steel is dead. These swords were made of alternate layers of iron and steel, so finely tempered that the blade would bend to the hilt without break ing. with an edge so keen that no coat of mail could resist, and a surface so highly polished that when Moslem wished to rearrarge his turban he used bis sword for looking Elasss.

The Three Periods of Mans Life.

Lady Dufferin was closely related to Sheridan Le Fanu, of whom Lord Duff
 ferin tells little story. When little boy, Sheridan le Fanu wrote an essay on the life of man, which ran as fol- lows: "A mans life naturally divides itself into three parts-the first when he is planning and contriving all kinds of villainy and rascality; that is the period of youth and innocense. In the second, he is found putting in practice all the villainy and rascality he has contrived; that is the flower of man. hood and prime of life. The third and last period is that when he is making his soul and preparing for another world; that is the period of dotage."

TOWN REFUSE AS FUEL.
Result of Experiments with Furnace at
 Halifax, England.

Halifax, England.
 Experiments in seeking to utilize the refuse of towns as fuel have been car rie(. so far that a plant, known as the Livet plant, has been set up in Halifax, England, with which it is expected to supply electric energy. The success ful working of the Livet furnace, says the Popular Science Monthly, appears to depend upon the peculiar constrnc- ton of it's fues, which are so built as to utilize the effect of the decreasing volume of the gases of combustion travelling toward the chimney, so pro- noting high velocity to the air pass ing through the furnace bars and pro- ducing rapid combustion with intense heat. At the same time the effect of this peculiarity of construction is to cause the gases themselves to move slowly through the fues so that they may part with their useful heat before escaping into the atmosphere. The force of draught at the furnace is such that high and constant temperament is obtained and efficiency of combus- tion insured, while all unpleasant odors inherent in town garbage are de- stroyed.
 As an example of the heat economy effected, it Is said that whereas in previous generators the best results ever obtained have been three-quarters of a pound of water evaporated on the combustion of one pound of refuse, in the Lfvet generator over three pounds of water are evaporated into steam for every pound of refuse consumed, in spite of the fact that it is frequently known to contain twenty per cent. of moisture. The temperature of the gases just before entering the chimney is stated to be from three to four hun dred dergrees Fahrenheit lower than hitherto obtained. The progression of the cases is partially arrested at both ends of each fue for the purpose of permitting them to deposit the con- tained light dust in suitable expansion chambers CT pits. which can be cleaned out when desirable. This arrange ments serves to overcome the objection able dust, which in ordinary ''destruc- tors tends to choke the fiues and i'm pregnate the air of the surrounding districts,

Couldn't Fool King Milan.

King Milan of Servia once went to the hotel of distinguished lady who was giving bazar for the benefit of the poor children of Paris. As soon as the king appeared upon the scene she advanced toward him with 8 splendid silver salver in her hand on which was beautifully emblazoned the family arms. On it lay pretty little bunch of violets. ''How much, madame?''' asked the king. ''Twenty-four lois, sire.'' was her soft response. Milan raid her the sum she had asked, with a courteous bow, took the salver from her hands, placed the bouquet in his buttonhole and walked of with the tray under his arm.

A Brave Engineer.

During the recent strike in the coal regions, Hooking Valley coal train was stopped by the strikers about a quarter of a mile from a wooden bridge. The leader of the strikers told the engineer that he must not pull the train through, and the engineer de- clared that he would. Come down, Jim!'' cried one of the strikers. ''We know you too we'll to harm you. We have keg of powder on that bridge, and when the boys see you coming they are going to light the fuse" .'All right" replied the engineer, grimly. i've promised to pull this train through, and through she goes" With these words he opened the throttle, and the train dashed on. The strikers saw the train coming and lit the fuse. 0n and over the bridge the train went; as the last car cleared the structure, bang! went the powder, and the bridge was blown to splinters. The fuse was auarter-inch too long.

MARINE CURRENTS.
New Instruments Showing How They Be-
 gin and Are Maintained.

New Instruments Showing How They Be. gin and Are Maintained.
 The marine globe, an apparatus tc
 produce currents similar to sea cur
 rents," consists of glass globe, under
 the interior wall of which are con.
 structed the massive outline of conti
 nents and the hollows of sea basins
 The bottom of the sea consists of an
 interior sphere, concentric with the
 one of glass, moving on vertical axis
 and worked by a gearing. The sea
 basins are filled with water, contain ing particles of sterine in suspension, which render all it's movements visible.
 The exterior of the apparatus does not differ much from that of a geographi- cal globe.
 When the nova ble globe turns upon itself, says the Cosmopolitan, the water is seen to start. From both extra-tropical regions it advances, along the sea bottom, toward the equator; there the two currents, from the north and from the south, meet, and together rise to the plane of the great circle; reaching the surface in a stream that occupies the equatorial belt of the oceans, the waters pour southward and northward of their line of emergence; then, almost immediate ly borne toward the west, they produce in their course all the secondary cur rents which are formed by the outlines of the shores and the shapes of the sea bottoms.
 Through the transparent glass one can follow the movements of the liquid mass and get better idea of sea cur rents than from the finest map. For the best specimens of hydrography seem only dead-letter compared with these real, moving currents, emerging, advancing on the surface, then disap- bearing in the depths of these minia- ture oceans, the capacity of which is scarcely more than a few glasses of water.
 This apparatus is both useful play thing for children and an object of serious thought for students. Every young geographer in our primary schools would delight to follow with his eyes, on this little artificial world, the marvellous evolutions of the water of the oceans; every earnest investi- gator into the phenomena of nature would be surprised at the facts re- vealed by this simple instrument, and would perhaps be disposed to question the value of certain notions on the phys ics of the globe, which till now he has held without questioning.
 The marine globe would facilitate the teaching of geography, so far as the sea currents are concerned, and the these effect in climate, of latitude; it may also aid and furnish hydrography with valuable data for the coordinat- ing and completing of the experimental study of marine currents, their origin, their mutual relations, their tempera- ture, their fauna, etc. Finally, it seems to nc, it may promote the science of physics, because it is, as con- cerns the liquid element, the material demonstration of this hypothesis which led to it's construction: "The liquid element enveloping the solid nucleus of the terrestrial globe, being set in motion by diurnal rotation, receives from this an impulse, which, modified by the outlines of continents, pro- duces. in nearly all their details, the of the sea-"

A Valuable Book,

Valued at five hundred dollars an ounce is a. certain book in the British museum. It is a perfect copy of the original edition of Shakespeare's son. nets, published in 1909. There are only two copies in existence, and the secz ond one is valued at five thousand dol iars. As the book is only ten ounces in weight, it is worth good deal more than its weight in gold.
