VAST COAL CONSUMPTION.
The Quantity of Fuel Consumed on the
Trip of an Atlantic Liner.


Trip of an Atlantic Liner.
Not little guesswork has been gone
through by many as to the probable
quantities of coal which are daily shoy-
eIed into the furnace mouths OF such biz
Atlantic liners as the steamers Paris
New Y Ork, Campania ana Lucania. Ten
years ago one hundred tons day were
considered most prOdigious consump-
ton, little likely to be exceeded IN the
years to come, and wondering comment
there was in plenty that SO vast q guam
tity should find a legitimate outlet.
Since then, however, the public
mind has been educated up to the
higher figures, and statements OF two
and even 300 tons day have ceased to at
tract more than passing notice. Three
hundred and fifty tons, IN fact, are said to
be burned on the Paris and the New York
every twenty-four hours, but of the Lu-
cania and Campania no particulars have
ever been given, SO that an apprOxima-
ton based on what is known OF the
power equipment OF these ships is all
that can be offered. Twenty eight thou
sand horsepower has been assumed TO
be the amount that each of these vessels
require to propel them at the great speeds
which they maintain.
Added TO this power Of the main en-
gines must be the appreCIaDle figures
represented by the host OF auxiliary en-
gines and pumps which are necessary
adjuncts, and which, with the steam
heating systems and hot water apparatus.
help TO swell the steam consumption to
such degree that a total allowance of
say sixteen pounds OF steam per hour Tor
each of the twenty-eight thousand horse
power may ba taken as quite within the
mark. Allowing, then, TO boiler per-
formance OF eight pounds of steam per
pound of coal, which cannot he far
wrong, we have coal consumption of
two pounds per hour ior each horse
power, or 55, 600 pounds, equivalent to 900
tons per day. This is pretty plain figur-
ing, though, OF course, partly speculate
i've, and while the outcome may seem
exaggeratedly nigh, 1t no doubt quite
trutntully represents the facts in the case.

PUTTING OF ORANGES.
LAnaheim Gazette.l
For time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, it has been
the abiding faith Of those conVersant with
orange growing that the orchardist who
could devise some means TO keep the fruit
from putting" would reap an independ-
ent fortune. This dispiriting feature of
the orange business has been noted more
or less throughout the several counties of
the citrus belt-our immediate section,
however, being noted as producing thin
skinned and solid fruit, more generally
free from putting" than perhaps that Of
any other locality. At Azusa the other
day a consignment Of several carloads
OF otherwise choice navels had to be re-
Jecled at the packinghOuse because of

now happily thing of the past, the un-
accountable putting Of fruit has been the

society has its tireless, sleepless bundle
OF nerves and brains, continually sur-
gesting progress and leading in all good
work. The mass OF the people eyerv-
where are too much occupied with their
own personal concerns to give q great
deal of time to public affairs. Unless
there is some person whose mission it is
to be continually planning beneficial
projects and bringing them to general

1t IS true that every community does

1t is true that every man who studies the

promotion of beneficial enterprises does
not have following, and hence ue can
not be said to be a leader. But every

gressive community has a leader. an

A SUGGESTION.
[Sutter FarmerI
We would suggest to the directors OF
the several district fairs that they take
in hand the burning question of road
and not leave so important a matter to
be fought by a few editors, enthusiasts
and bicycle riders. The sooner we have
good roads the earlier will prosperity re-
turn to the farmer, breeder and to the
people in general.
THE TRUTH.
Oakland Times
Do not lose sight of the fact that good
roads leading to city are good arteries

city not only looks out for it's commune
cations, that they be good, but is continu-
ally reaching out Tor an increase Of trade
by increasing the arteries of trade.
CORRECT.
santa Rosa Republican,
The Sacramento RECORD UNION op-
poses the appropriation of $4,000 for a
California exhibit at the proposed Mexi-
can exposition and is dead right in doing
so. No good would be likely to come
from such an expenditure of public
funds. we are not trying to draw peo-
pie here from Mexico, and there is not
much trade in that direction to reach for.
No good reason can be given for the pro-
posed appropriation, but many good
ones can be given against it.

THE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT
Fresno Republican.

The repeal Of the weights and measures
law IS under consideration in the T.eris-
lature. Probably it will strike the aver
age reader that conclusion should be
reached in such q case without a vast
amount of consideration, for the law, if
properly amended, is calculated to be of
much benefit to the people of the State.
Briefly stated, the law (the repeal of
which Legislative committee has recon-
mended) provides for the official sealing
OF scales and measures, so that the con-
sumer Of goods shall obtain fair con-
sideratiOn for his money. 1t is calculated
to be a safeguard agaist the possible rogu-
cry of dealers. 1t has indeed been ineffi-
cacious in the past because the too fire.
quent sealings imposed such hardship on
dealers that the Secretary OF State refused
to enforce it, but this Is difficulty that
can be readily removed by an amendment,
and this is the course that should be
adopted. That some dealers do indulge
in petty stealings by false measures is an
understood fact, and in so doing a double
hardship and injustice is worked, viz:
To consumers and to honest dealers. A
law to prevent this is what is needed.
The law as it stands is detective; amend
it, but don't turn back from a step in the
right direction.

LICENSE ENOUGH.
[Riverside Enterprise ]

An Act which by peculiar misnomer
Is termed the freedom OF speech" bill is
now pending before the Legislature.
Nomlnally it is designed to curtail the
powers OF courts to punish attorneys for
contempt, thereby enabling lawyers to
do their duty by clients without fear of
the wrath of prejudiced or irascible
Judges. Practically, however, the pur-
pose OF the bill is TO restore TO one Phil
brook, disDarred attorney, the right to
practice. Ii the latter object were the
only one. it would probably not be any
great matter one way or another. But
the measure opens the door IOr almost
unlimited license for lawyers to abuse
Judges who may not agree with them.
1t provides IN effect that no man shall
be debarred from appearance in a
court as an attorney at law for any
words spoken or written by him in
argument in any cause before the
court until he shall have been convicted
by jury OF criminal libel. 1t can be
readily seen that the enactment OF such a
law would result in all manner OF abuses.
Courts would no longer have the respect
which is absolutely essential for the
proper administration OF justice. Judges
would be practically Doweriess against
the assaults OF INSCRIPTIONS or ilI-tem-
pered lawyers. There is license enough
already IN California courts.
