GLORIOUS WINTER DAYS.

1t is fact familiar to the residents of
San Francisco that the winter months are
plea santer than the summer. This is so
extraordinary thing for place lying
north of the equator that it deserves
analysis A study of the conditions which
produce it reveals curiously complex and
an intensely interesting combination of
natural forces, working with fixed and un-
failing regularity.
The differences between our summers
and winters are these: During the sum-
mer wind often rises in the afternoon
and continues till sundown. TO one not
properly clad it is cold and disagreeable.
Often it is followed by fog, which may
persist throughout the night and last well
into the forenoon of the following day.
1t is damp and chilly. Whatever iniuri-
Gus or disagreeable effect the wind and
the fog may produce can be easily avoided
by the use of warm clothing, and if this is
done their good effects may be enjoyed.
These are very valuable, as may be in
ferred from the fact that they come directly
and always from the ocean, and are neces-
sarily pure, invigorating and laden with
giving ozone. They are immensely
Both wind and fog disappear in winter,
and rains occupying about one day in
seven take their place. They have none of
the characteristics of an Eastern summer
rain, and are chilling only because they
exclude sunshine. The intervals are filled
with the softest and balmiest days of an
Eastern spring and brilliant calm nights,
in which the stars have wonderful luster
or the moon gives dazzling light. Now
and then there is a frost, but the fact that
callas, heliotropes and even bananas grow in
the open air without much risk of damage
shows that the frost cannot be severe.
The difference between the temperature
of summer and that of winter is slight.
The winters often seem warmer, but that
is because they have no winds. Hence
throughout the year one needs warm
wooden clothing, and it is generally wise.
even in summer. not to go out at night
without wrap. Strangers often take
severe colds because they cannot realize
the wisdom of wrapping up warmly against
the summer winds.
The causes for this peculiar arrangement
of conditions are these: During the sum-
mer the winds come unfailingly from the
west and northwest, and hence have
passed over the cold water which comes
down through Bering Sea from the Arctic
Ocean to the Pacific. In winter the winds
shift TO the south, bringing up the warm
climate of the tropics. If the conditions
were reversed our winters would be as cold
as those of Lapland, and our summers as
hot as those of Central America That
they are as thew are iS ono of th o roo sonS of
uniqueness and charm.

BEAUTIFY THE GROUNDS.

The suggestion made by Regent Rein
stein and eagerly adopted by the students
of the University of California, that they
each give three or four days of manual
labor on the university grounds, was an
inspiration. Undoubtedly the students
would have done this long ago had the
suggestion been made. As there are over
600 students their labor will save the State
some thousands of dollars and produce a
valuable result in putting these noble
grounds in attractive condition. 1t has
always seemed an extraordinary fact that
while the grounds of every other public
institution in the State have received in
telllgent attention, those OF the university
have been persistently neglected. Re-
Gently the regents secured the co-opera-
tion of Superintendent McLaren of Golden
Gate Park, and as he is one of the most
skillful gardeners in the world his directing
aid will be important and the contribu-
tions which we can make from the park s
resources will be invaluable.
We shall expect that Regent Reinstein's s
suggestion will prove but the beginning of
permanent system OF student care of the
grounds. There is no desire to make
laborers of the ambitious young men
and women of the institution, but as

SURVEYING MINERAL LANDS.

William H. Mills, through an interview
published in THE CALL, has made sug-
gestion of very great value, as it bears
directly on the contention that has arisen
! between the mining interests of California
and the Southern Pacific Company. II is
that the Miners Association should work
for scientific survey of the western slope
of the Sierra Nevada, with view to ascer-
tain what lands are mineral bearing, and
that the entire slope be plated. In this
way, as he points out, immense quantities
OF gold would be at once discovered and
mines developed. He thinks that the
work should be undertaken by Congress
and that it could be done with an appro-
priation of $250,000.
There are many and very urgent and
just reasons why this should be done and
why 1t IS the duty of the Government to
do it. Mexico is a long way ahead of Us
in this matter, as it has been thoroughly
surveyed and plated for mineral denosits.
Mr.. Mills gives some figures to show the
obligations under which the Government
rests to California. Down to June 80, 1898,
it received in internal revenues from us
over $S4 ,000, 900, and from customs duties
since 1850 over $21s, 900 O00 from the sale
of lands between $4,000, 900 and $6 ,OOO, 900,
and between $15, 100000 ard $40 ,000, 900 in
postage. This does not include the mil
lions in precious metals which the State
has contributed to the welfare of the
Nation.
In return for all this the Government
has given us S.. .93S, 900 for public buildings
and S., 2S5, 900 for the improvement of our
rivers and harbors. As simple act Of
justice we are entitled to much more
Therefore Mr.. Mills adds that to make the
whole scheme complete the Government
should establish on the straits of Carquinez
metallurgieal works at cost of $5,0O0,O0
to rival the world-famous institution at
Swansea. These works should be for the
treatment of all kinds of ores; if estab-
lished they would have wonderful effect
on the development of the gold mining
industry of the State.
The suggestion is so fair and its be-
nehcent results would be so great that
neither its justice nor its wisdom can be
doubted. The question as to whether great
bodies of land in the State are mineral or
agricultural has always been and still is
undetermined and source of endless liti-
CATION and conflicts. The peculiar geology
of the STATE accounts in large part for the
fact. The ancient gold-bearing rivers that
flowed parallel to the axis of the Sierra
were buried ages ago under heavy flows of
lava. Where erosion has exposed the beds
gold in abundance is found. To determine
the course of these beds under the still
superimposed lava would be a very valu.
able work, but there are other phases of the
case equally as important.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Early in the present month the dis
patches from Berlin announced that the
Empress of Germany and her children
had gone the rounds of the shops
and made their Christmas purchases.
Her Imperial Majesty was wise. As
shopping woman she is now in a
position as secure as on a throne, and
can watch the crushing crowds of eager
gift-seekers from now until Christmas eve
with the serenity of one who has been
clever enough to distance the multitude
and get there first.
To undertake Christmas shopping a
month before Christmas day would hardly
be as commendable in this country as it
seems TO be in Berlin. Our shops have not
displayed at that time the brilliant array
of holiday novelties that come later, and
those who seek gifts so early are likely to
get the remnants OF last year instead of
the newest inspiration of this. AT present.
however. it is full time to get the Christ
mas shopping well under way, and as far
as possible it should be completed before
the week closes.
A crush is sometimes enjoyable, but
it is never SO to those who have a per-
picking business on hand. Now, the selec-
ton of gifts suitable to the taste of the
person for whom they are intended and at
the same time within hearing distance of
the talking power of the money of the
giver is decidedly matter of perplexitv.
1t must be carried on with something of
deliberation to produce good results, and
ought therefore to be undertaken when
there is time enough to transact it with
out furry and freedom enough in the
shops to see things without being consid
cred hog by some one who wishes your
place at the counter.
Beyond all question much of the pleas
ure of the great holiday is derived from
the excitement of the shopping in prepara-
tion for it. This is particularly so when.
as at present, the weather is fine enough
to make the open air a delight that en-
tees everybody to the streets. All of our
main thoroughfares in these days are as
joyous with gay and well-dressed crowds
as if every afternoon were festival.
The splendor of the shop windows,
bright with the beauty of innumer-
able flashing jewels and gems of rare
art, is not more gladdening than the hap
piness that glows in the faces of those who
pass from window to window and gaze on
each new splendor with a new admiration.
TO mingle with these crowds is to get in
spirations of kindly sentiment toward all
the world, and it is not 70 be wondered
that many shoppers delay to make pur-
chases IN order to have fresh excuses every
day for new promenade of the streets.
This enjoyment of the crowds and the
shops is natural, but it should not be in
dulged too far. Make your purchases
early and then you can join the crowd
Of sightseers without being annoyed by
the coming crush. The example of the
Empress Of Germany in this respect is
worthy of imitation even in this land of
freedom. There is nothing to be gained
now by delay, while much may be lost,
for in this as in all things else the first
conner has the first choice.

One of the growing industries of Southern
California is the raising OF celery. The Santa
Fe Railroad Company shipped four carloads
East Saturday, and these make total of thirty
forwarded so far this season. which is much
largei number than for the same period last
year. The celery is grown on the peat lands
near Santa Ana. About $50 acres of it are now
creased every year. The season lasts from the
middle of November until about March /. Last
year 80 carloads were sent East. and that
is what is known as the white Plume ynrietv
and is in great demand in the Eastern mar
kets, ranking equal if not superior to the cele-
brated Kalamazoo X {blich.) product. 1t will not
be long before outhern California celery will

A REVIEW OF HUXLEY,S ESSAYS,
DR.. w. X. Brooks. in the Forpro

DR.. W. X. Brooks, in the Forum.
Huxley's essays are so far from a miscellany
that they remind one of fair Landscape
stretching from the rugged heights of contro-
versy over meadows filed with the flowers of
literature and through fields and orchards
loaded with the ripe fruits of science all vital
izec by clear stream, sometimes yelling up
in great gushes of truth, som etimes wandering
in silence under the verdure which it nour-
ishes but always there for all who wish to
drink of it. All the essays either set forth the
results which have been won or may be hoped
for from the application of this golden rule, or
else they teach our moral obligation to sus-
pend judgment on questions to which we are
unable to apply it, however great our desire
for answers. In the long run their value will
depend on the success which attends this
purpose--the purpose to which their author
tells us he had subordinated whatever hope he
may have had of scientific fame: but they
have other claims to consideration. All are
good reading; in all we continually come
across profound truth put into words SO apt
and pithy that we store them away in our
minds as permanent additions to our stock of
wisdom.
Since began this account of the new edition
of ''Huxley's Essays" word has been brought,
