How They Used to DO Business in California.
There we're neither courts nor juries
in the land; the word of Californian
was the only bond required. Even the
vxJhC fRnr. fn1
commerce was finally allowed, trusted
them freely from ono season to the
next. An incident illustrating this
trait is told by the Aguirre family.
Don Jose Aguirre, who owned trad
ing vessel, once had as super-csrgo a
young man who was stranger to
California customs. While the ship,
with cargo, lay in San Pedro hsrbor,
the master being absent, Augustin
Machsdo, a ranchero of considerable
wealth in land and herds, but who
could neither read nor write, went on
board to do some purchasing, his carts
awaiting him on shore. When he had
made his choice and was about
having the goods conveyed to
land, the supercargo asked him for
either pay m ant or guaranty. Mschado
did not at first understand that he was
being distrusted; no such demand had
ever before been made of ranohero,
where the buyer offered no money he
being credited without hesitation.
When at length it dawned upon the
Californian, he drew hair from his
beard and gravely handing it to the
young man, said with dignity, "Dsliver
this to Senior Aguirre and tell him it is
a hair from the beard of Auaustin Ma
chado--you will find it sufficient
guaranty" The supercargo, crestf6ll-
en-. placed the hair in the leaves of his
account book and allowed the goods to
be removed. Upon Aguirre's return
he was deeply chagrined at the insult
that had been offered to his friend.--

British Sea Fisheries Far More Valuable
Than Generally Supposed.

Than Generally supposed
A return has been made by the board
of trade giving statistical tables relat.
ing to the sea fisheries of the United
Kingdom. The statistics relate mainly
to fish landed on the coasts of England
and Wales, but summarized statements
are also given of fish landed on the
Scotch and Irish coasts. For purposes
of comparison the statistics are given
of the sea fisheries of Norway, Holland,
France and Canada. AS regards Eng
land and Wales the total value of the
fish landed was C 5,438,000. The cor.
responding values for 1893 and 1894
were C 5,171 600 and c 1921 900 respec-
lively. For Scotland the total value
was C 1,S30,000 and for Ireland 800.
600. In Scotland, during the year 1895
there has been a slight decrease in the
quantity and an increase in the value
of the fish landed as compared with
1894. In Ireland there was a decrease
both in quantity and value. The ag-
gregate value for the United Kingdom
during the year 1895 is e7537,000, as

of the total weight of fish landed in

was less than third of the total value,

continuous decline, the numbers
landed being 81, 425, 900 in 1898, 27,747,-

PROPULSION OF BALLOONS.
Some of the Difficulties That Beset Those
Who Navigate the AIR.


Who Navigate the Air.
In attempting to propel a balloon OF
the usual shape the great difficulty met
with is that Immediately it begins to
move against the wind the big bag OF
gas is forced out of shape, and in pro
portion to the propelling power applied
threatens to engulf the ear and ITS
tenants in its folds or to sutfocate them
with the gas, which is caused to escape
by the alteration of its capacity with
change of shape. The other difficulty
is the construction of a powerful
enough and yet light motor, which
does not require fire to work it.
Though many attempts have been
made, advance has been very slow.
The French who have persistently
stuck to the balloon from national
pride in its invention, and who have
done most Of its Improvement, have
made some notable steps in the matter
of balloon propulsion. Thus, toward
the close of the Franco-German war,
NJ. Dupuy de LONE, a naval builder
constructed balloon with a rudder
and a screw driven by the passengers.
1t was found that a velocity, apart
from that of the air current, of about
six miles an hour could be obtained.
Considerably better results have
been obtained by Messrs. Krebs and
Renard with their eigar-shaped bal
loon, inflated with hydrogen and pro-
PEELED by an electro-motor driven by
storage batteries. They have succeed
ed in travelling a little more than 12
miles an hour in fair weather and in
steering in any direction, even return
ing exactly to their starting point; but
in windy weather the apparatus has
not been tried. To brave any moder-
ately strong wind the machine would
require to travel something like SO
miles an hour, but these French officers
do not expect to attain a speed OF
more than 25 miles an hour in the most
favorable circumstances. In the opin-
ion of Maxim this dirigible balloon is as
near perfection as is ever likely to be
attained by machine depending on
aerial flotation.
The empire of the air is not to be
won by balloons. They have too many
imperfections and limitations, and ac
cordingly this at first sight hopeful
path must be abandoned for the more
difficult one of mechanical flying. The
bird must be initiated as far as human
powers, aided by suitable mechanics.
devices to make up for the natural de
| ficiencies of man, can go. The efforts
of those interested in the matter have
been of late mainly directed to flying

necessarily be heavier than the air, ye

Ga. Mrs. Bumps went about in fear and
trembling that filled the little ones with
wild-eyed apprehension, keeping them
well in the background. When the
neighbors saw what was going on they
looked at each other with smiling eX-
pectancy and used their bay windows
like opera boxes from which to view the
entertainment.
Bumps was fat man and the day
was sweltering, but when one of the
doors was stood in place he went up the
stepladder like a squirrel, whistling
"Daisy Dean" for he is busy mortal
and has really neglected his music in
later years. This only whetted the
pleasureable anticipations of the audi
ence, while Mrs. Bumps and the little
Bumpses felt like taking to the cyclone
cellar. Bumps never missed a note as
he drove home the first screw. Perspi-
ration poured down his face, and there
were times of extra exertion when most
men would have twisted their faces to
help out on more muscle; but he was
true to "Daisy Dean" through it all.
by the time the first door was ready to
swing the school children had stopped
to see the job and the ncighbors were
getting anxious. Bumps went right
on blowing forth that harmony of sweet
sounds and working the screwdriver.
He finished as merrily as he had begun,
gathered up the tools and went whist
ling TO the barn. The neighboring
wives looked reprovingly at their hus-
bands, and before Bumps could get his
coat again the dearest pair of arms in
