CIVILIZATION AND GOVERN
MENT

Civilization is not at all necessary to
government but government is neces-
sary to civilization. Bees, ants, and, in
fact, every tribe of the animal kingdom
maintains a form of government, and
from the evidence we can gather 1t is Sc
verely autocratic The form Of govern
ment that is maintained by many Of the
lower tribes of the human family is an
Improvement upon the form adopted
by the animal tribes, but not always
is shown in the bee when 1t is sorely
pressed is wholly vicious but the same
is true of the members of the lower
tribes of men, only that the feeling of
resentment in the man has for its actu-
ating principle a determination to have
certain of his rights recognized for
rights sake. 1t may be said at this
point of mental and moral development
the first bud of civilization is seen. but
the germ of the seed which now finds
expression in bud life always was, only
that never before had 1t so congenial
soil. From bud to blossom, to fruit
imperfect and on to fruit perfected, CIV
,ilization is comparative. That is. it
is not positive-not absolute. AS hu-
nanity grows in understanding of the
attributes of the right, which are truth
and justice. and in inclination to make
right the rule and guide Of conduct does
civilizations bud expand toward flower
hood-toward full fruitage-but the ex-
pansion Is unnatural, and flower and
fruit will be worm eaten if the necessity
for a supervisory government does not
diminish as the leaves of the bud open
and stand apart.
As compared with former periods Of
the worlds history, the nineteenth CEN
tury may we'll boast that its civiliza-
tion is the highest and best that human
ity has ever reached, for certainly
strides onward and upward have
been taken in the last hundred years
that were not equally In a dozen CEN
turies by eur ancestors. But, nevertha-
less and Notwithstanding we of today
are standing in the out-reaching light Of
the twentieth century. the inmost leaves
of the bud of human progress have not
yet started to unfold. Even the people
Of free and Independent America, with
all their boasted intellectual advance
ment, retain a preponderance of the
methods, customs, superstitions. sus-
picions and intolerant spirit of the
earlier civilizations. Greed and selfish
ness, and disregard for the feelings of
others were the leading characteristics
Of humanity when it lived on roots and
berries and raw meat, and they are the
leading characteristics of this age, only
that we have acquired many virtues
which our ancestors did not posses
hence the human family is, as a whole,
better every way today than in any
former period. We read the history of
our ancestors (some say of our own
selves) and their barbarian customs in
the long ago, and we are glad that we
have grown away from mud huts and
what such q civilization implies, but it
acquires no very. close observer to see
that some Of the people of today are not

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

The University of California can
blame it's College of Agriculture with
the coldness of Southern California
to it's proposed large appropriations. The
officers of this college who have to do
with the southern part of the state are
charged with being unfriendly to our
leading farmers, agricultural chemists,
horticulturists. biologists, botanists,
forestry men and even to our local
botanical and scientific societies.
The counts against the chief Of the
Agricultural college and his praise SER
vice assistant may be segregated as
follows:
First-The constant publication of
self-praise. In our local papers, as we'll
as in San Francisco dailies, these agri-
cultural officers have for some years
been printing articles praising them
This iteration of their own smartness
themselves is in bad taste. 1t would be
tiresome If true. The self-praise being
without good grounds, has become-well
more than tiresome.
Standardization is made to the
presence in the lobby at Sacramento
at every session of the legislature of
two of the salaried officers of the college.
These officers are not paid to lobby.
The regents have no right to permit
the university funds obtained from the
taxpayers to be used in lobbying. This
come all the more Objectionable since
the desperate attempt to destroy the
board of horticulture. The college al
ready has captured and killed the board
of forestry and the board of viticulture.
The attempt against Hon. Ellwood
Cooper and the board of horticulture
was accompanied by particularly un-
gentlemanly methods. Innuendos, in
timidation and point blank slanders
have accompanied all the lobby work.
The attack on Cooper capped the eli
max and led to the defeat of the college
lobby
The people of Southern California were
not much concerned about the boards
that were abolished, nor of those sought
to be abolished, nor perhaps. Of the
mining bureau, which. it is said, the
college intends this year to abolish and
succeed. What the people here do OBJ
ject to is the slanderous and covert at
tacks upon honorable and public
spirited men, like Hon. Ellwood Cooper,
now a presidential elector, on the one
side, and the total collapse of the useful
work of the boards they have captured
on the other.
The college captures have been in SUBJ
stance captures of property and appro-
priations, but not of duty.
In Southern California the incumbency
of the College of Agriculture in the du-
ties of the board of forestry and board of
viticulture has resulted in paralysis.
No viticultural work and no forestry
work has been done by the College of
Agriculture here.
Four years ought to have enabled these
men to say something useful about the
vine disease that swept the mission vine
yards away to death. They had not a
word to throw to our vineyardists, or as
these polite officers five hundred miles
Off would probably say, not word for
Southern California dog.
In forestry the great question with us

Agriculture's forestry the word "nrs''

Soap Bubbles.

n. 1zarn has communicated to the
Academy Of Sciences new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used He has
recourse to a resinous soap made by the
following formula: Rulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
Of carbonate Of potash add 100 parts Of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way q thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to. five times its
volume Of water. It can be kept indef-
nitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study Of phenomena relating to thin
lamfnae and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play a part

Professor Ledger Of London, whose

Knocks Ii Their Relation to As ssron no.
my has been completed, in his last dis
course pointed out that tie M verse ss
instead Of being. fixed, is alive til no:
ton, each star with its attendant plan.
cts hurrying through space IF star we're
to knock against star the intense heat
and fierce fire generated by the enor-
nous velocity and vast momentum Of
the two masses would be such ais to pass
human conception. Is3 8
It may be that the sun was fc~.l.ed .by
the collision Of two stars. The es.ssec5 & of
two such bodies attracting each OF her
and meeting would be to reduce them
to a violently agitated gaseous mass,
which would oscillats, first inward, pro.
ducing uncomfortable heat, and then out
ward again, ultimately assuming the
condition Of the sun. The general re-. re-
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolFe around their common center Of
gravity-that is to say, around each 9TH
err creating q double star. Lord KeI
vim has calculated that if $4,000 900
solid globes, each Of the mass Of the
moon, should be scattered over spher-
ical surface 100 times the radius Of the
earth s orbit, they would come together
and be raised to temperature Of
400, 900 degrees They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to less
distance each time, and ultimately set.
thing down into sphere.
The nebulB we see around us NAV.
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together Of
two great bodies rather than by the az.
gregation of many smaller ones The
collision Of two huge suns would thus
lad to rcjuv enescence and the formation
OF new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
of a collision had occurred are the out
bursts Of temporary stars such as those
observed by Tycho Brahe in 1879, by
Kepler in 1904 and those Of l848, 1865,
1875, 1885 and 1892, the last being the
new star Auriga, which declined through
ten magnitudes, or became 100, 900
times less bright in two months. The
great increase in the light Of a comet as
it approaches the sun may be due to q
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars may be caused by the knocks Of
the molecules Of the atmosphere on the
ether, whose undulations carry their
light to us. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and the past, present and prob
able future Of nebulous bodies all hingr
on the relations they bear to the knocks
of the molecules of their gases, while
the knocks Of immense bodies depend
ultimately on the knocks Of their constit-
uent atoms.
