POMONA
Rain, Hail and Tffunder--A Lands
mans Marine Invention

POMONA, Jan. 2S.-This valley was
visited this afternoon by a thunder
storm, accompanied by very heavy fall
of hail lasting thirty minutes. Within
fifteen minutes after the fall had ceased
crowds Of people on the main business
streets were out snowballing The fun
waxed fast and furious, being enjoyed
by the old as well as the young. The rain
fall at periods during the day has been
very heavy and has not accomplished
the good results 1t would have done had
the fall come slow and steady for a
longer period.
Progress-A few days ago the gov
ernment of the United States granted a
patent on q very ingeniously contrived
propeller for water craft which will rev.
olutionfze the methods In use for the
propulsion of ships The inventor is
Constable Frank o. Slanker of this place.
MIR. Slanker's invention places two pro-
pellers under each vessel, one at the bow
and the other at the stern. The propel-
lers, which are turbine shaped, revolve
on vertical shafts and are nearly sur
rounded by revolving castings, which are
open on one side and are operated by the
helm. Such Is the construction of the
propellerS that each prope1S the vessel
in the direction of the open side Of the
casing whence the water Is admitted to
the wheel. When 1t is desired to stop a
vessel 1t Is not necessary to reverse the
machinery, which is a great strain upon
1t, but simply to turn half way Mound the
castings surrounding the propellers and
their fun force will be exerted in the op-
posite direction. Competent judges who
have examined Mr.. Slanker's invention
say that If properly handled 1t ought
to bring the inventor a fortune.

Not So Surprising.

While we smile at the lack of informa-
tion exhibited by our cousins across the
seas concerning matters that are not IA
miliar as A B G to us, it is not at all
probable that some Of us live in vitreous
tenement ourselves. How many bright
American youths, who are fresh from their
Biographies, could name the different coun-
ties iiS England, or could tell whether
Leeds and Birmingham were in York or
Lincoln, Herts or Kent? Yet very likely
those same youths would laugh long and
loud If an English cousin should locate
Boston in Missouri or St Louis in Texas.
When we reach the antipodes, many
Americans carry a still more startling and
varied stock Of misinformation. How
many realize that it is five days journey
across the channel that separates New Zea-
land from Australia, the two great islands
of the Australasian empirep How many
know much about the political situation
of Victoria and New South Wales, of
Queensland and South Australian How
many can locate tho Banda sea or the Sulu
sea, or tell where the placid waters of tho
Celebes sea bask under the torrid rays of
the equator? How many realize that it is
a railway journey Of 1900 miles between
Adelaide and Brisbane, and that this little
strip of coast constitutes largely the inhab-
tied portien of the island continent?-New

Insecure Buildings.

II there is any one thing that the public
has right to expect, it is proper precau-
tion on the part Of builders to make the
structures they erect secure and thus avoid
danger to life and property.
The records of collapsed buildings, fallen
walls, insecure foundations and death traps
generally figure up into an aggregate that
is simply appalling. The occupant is not
supposed to know that the house he lives
in is not safe. Indeed 1t is not his business
to know. 1t Is the business of the builder
to make everything right, and failing to
do this he should bo hold to the strictest
account. Tho temptation to slight work
and to use inferior materials is too strong
to be resisted by unscrupnlous builders,
but the results of such course are too die
astrous to pass by without notice
There must be something radically wrong
about building inspection when such struc-
tnres are passed by the officials. The sug-
gestion that the contractor who knowing
ly puts inferior materials into buildings
should be found guilty of murder in cass
the buildings collapse will meet with ap.
proval from ali sensible persons
The owner orders the work and pays tho
bill. He has right to expect exactly
what he pays for, and failing to get it tho
culprit should be punishable by severe PEN
alties and by the full limit Of tho law IN
case bis work 10 SO faulty as to COLLAPSE

Largo Prices For Unexpired Leases.

Two hundred Thousand dollars Is said to
have been paid for an unexpired lease in
Boston, and the tenant of an office in a
building which it was intended to improve
Is said to have been paid $50, 900 to find
another room. In fact, long leases of we'll
situated buildings in growing city are
often very good property. Many q man has
secured for himself good income, and
sometimes large one, for several years,
without any trouble and practically with
ont risk, by taking advantage of an oppor-
tunity to secure on moderate terms long
lease of an estate already occupied or avail
able for tenants. If the income received
from the subtenRnts does not pay the
agreed rent Of the estate little energy
expended In getting tenants for the unoc-
cupied rooms will generally be sufficient to
make up the deficit, and the increasing de-
mand which Is sure to follow the extension
of business soon justifies advances in the
subrents, to the profit of the principal
lessee, while there are always chances that
the principal lease may, through some un-
foreseen contingency, be disposed of at
large profit. American Architect.

Infants Rash.

For the red rash and irritation of the
skin from which many infants suffer, 1t Is
a good plan to mix half teaspoonful of
warm castor oil with the same quantity Of
dill water. This may be sweetened with
sugar Of milk. When baby is hungry, give
q little at a time, allowing him to suck
gently. Do this three or four nights fol-
lowing, and the result will be found very
satisfactory. To dab the skin with a

Water.

Water is fluid simply because its parti-
cles, which may be compared to an aggre-
CATION Of infinitesimal pearls, are kept
separated by latent heat. Outside heat up
piled to a vessel containing water causes
the latent and applied heat both to act on
the air contained in the water. Under
such conditions pure water at sea level
will boil at Il temperature of 212 degrees
F., If the barometer pressure be 80 inches.
If, however, the vessel containing this
same water be carried to the top of Ii high
mountain or put under the exhausted re-
ceiyer of an air pump, it will boil before
it reaches the temperature of 219, because
the atmosphere has been taken away SO as
to allow the air contained in the water to
