A TIMELY BENEFIT.

The rain of Friday and Saturday was re-
markable not only for the fact that it COW
cred the State from end to end, but
because it was just in sufficient quantity
and came at time when it could do the
most good in all possible ways. Hay
cutting had begun in only few advanced
sections, and such hay as had been cut
suffered no damage. All cereal crops were
immensely benefited, and the orchards
and vineyards were greatly improved. The
CALLS reports from all parts OF the State
indicate that the crops of all kinds this
year will be heavy, and that the rain has
added millions of dollars to the wealth of
the State.
Two very important considerations are
suggested by this condition.
One is that the people are now enabled
and encouraged to push the development
of the State with all possible vigor. No
conceivable danger, such as tornadoes,
cyclones and the like, which are always a
menace to farmers east of the Sierra Ne
vada, can be expected in California, and
the market conditions of the world indi-
cate that profitable prices will be received
for all our products, including even wheat.
growing have been assured and demon
strated by the organization of those en-
gagged in these industries. The raisin-
growers have made similar organization
with like prospect of generous returns,
and now the growers of deciduous fruits
are preparing to follow the rule which has
proved so beneficial in allied industries.
In short, by reason of all these circum-
stances, not counting others, the financial
outlook for California this year is un-
usually bright. This brings US to the sec
ond nsideration-namely that there is
now every good reason why the spirit of
progress which is stirring the people
should be advanced with all the energy
that intelligence and prosperity can COM
mand. Everything lately has been hap
pening in just the right way in California.
1t seems almost providential that the
splendid rain should have come to fill the
measure into which already had been
poured the Inauguration of the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad,
the wonderful festivals in various parts of
the State and the cementing of State fell
lowship through the efforts of the Half
million Club of San Francisco. Those
parts of the San Joaquin Valley which
were feeling uncertain on the score of their
crop returns are now assured of an abund-
ance and are encouraged to come forward
generously in aid of tie Valley road.
Never in the history of the State have so
many cheering conditions existed at one
time. All that remains now to be done is
the utilization of the resources and oppor-
tunitieS which are at hand. The extent to
which this is done will be the measure of
our intelligence in their use and of our
pride in the State. Capitalization of eff
fort must be the means by which these
great ends are to be achieved, and as the
Valley road is the most prominent under
taking now before the people it should re-
ceive the first support.

No. Jupiter and the smallest Mars, which can
be easily known by its reddish tint. venus
rapidly gains on the other planets, ana having
overtaken Jupiter the two are what is technl-
cally called in conjunction on May 10. Inc
lower section of the first diagram represents
the positions at the end of May, when Mercury
will have joined the group on the west side,
thus forming a line of four planets wltnln
few degrees of each other.
1t will soon become evident that the swiftest
on the celestial racetrack is Mercury, in ancient
lore the flying messenger of the gods. Next IN
speed is Venus, and next the god OF war, WnlIe
Jupiter advances only few degrees during
the month.
AS they will continue to outspeed each other
for many weeks yet, it will be OF interest to re-
call some of the chief characteristics OF the
starry wanderers.
Notwithstanding its vast distance, Jupiter,
being eleven times the diameter OF the earth,
is an interesting object, even in small tele-
scope as it's belts and four of its moons are dis
tinctly visible. Many eminent physicists are
of opinion that it is an intensely heated body,
and though shining chiefly by sunlight, also
sends forth some faint CLEANS OF its own. The
silvery CLEAN of Venus is deceptive. 1t is
dark globe of the same size as the earth, and
probably has an atmosphere of considerable
depth glowing intensely in sunlight On this
account telescope observation OF It's surface
reveals little though rome of the planets come
SO near to us as Venus.
Mercury, still nearer to the sunlight and of
smaller size, is also yelled in nearly impene-
trable luster. Far different is the case of Mars,
with its snowy poles and varied surface only
needing harmony of opinion among astrono-
mers TO render its topography subject OF
widespread study; for while some enthusiastic
observers see evidence of intelligent work in its
strange lines, others withhold assent until the
evidence OF intelligence becomes more intelli-
gible.
So far no astronomer maintains that Mars is
uninhabitable, and this should be remembered

OUIETUs TO LOTTERIES.
Cat Gazette.

GdJ Gdzetle.
Now that Wells, Fargo & Co. have issued
a peremptorv order forbidding the en-
ployes of the express to receive or forward
any ticket or advertisement of a lottery,
we may we'll conclude that the backbone
of the lottery business is broken in this
State. With the mails and express closed
against the lottery frauds the business will
be brought to sudden close on this coast.
The San Francisco CALL has done more in
the past few months to put quietus to
the nefarious lottery business in California
than any one other agency we know of.

 New York, April 23.-On transactions of 9O1,7OS shares the usually active stocks closed with net gains ranging from A to 11a per cent. There were heavy realizations throughout the day, but the stocks offered were readily ab- sorbed and in the main speculation closed strong and confident. London really set the pace, the foreigners hav- ing taken fully SO,OOO shares according to arbitrage brokers. Local bears, who professed to be disappointed at the failure of the presidents of the anthra- cite coal companies to arrive at an agreement in the matter of percentages, endeavored to bring about a reaction, but the decline was insignificant. New Jersey Central ran off to 951S and Delaware and Hudson to 123%, while Reading and Lackawanna refused to sympathize,
 In the afternoon the old stories of settlement of the difficulties of the companies were revived and the stocks, notably Reading, responded. Reading touched 1893 and the junior bonds on large trading moved up fl to per cent, the latter in the first prefer ences.
 Tn the late trading the grangers were particularly prominent, St. Paul rising to 621s, Northwest to 9624, Burlington and Quincy to 747s and Rock Island to 67%, Among the low priced issues Long Island Traction recovered to IFS on reports of change in the direc- tory. Rumor had it that prominent New York capitalists were to be rep resented in the directory in the early future. Chicago Gas among the indus trials was feverlsh, the recent rise hay ing induced realizations. Speculation closed strong with the active issues anywhere from If to 11s per cent. higher on the day.
