improved in an act which was passed in
1894.
In August Of that year a congress of
educators was held at Havre and was at

including President Faure. The statistics
Of the educational department at Wash

our system of common school instruction

that where the French system failed was

President Gilman we'll observes that the
end of education is lot to choke the mind

develop character. This cannot be done
with any curriculum, however cunningy
devised, for the minds of young men are
as different as their faces. One set of boys
will rebel against a course of study which
will delight and nurture another set. And

A seagull has recently been watched,
under the most favorable conditions.
while it performed a feat which caused
mariners to wonder and land dsmen to gos-
sip. According to whatever knowledge
has previously existed concerning the
habits and powers OF gulls the exploit in
question is Unprecedented.
The gull few $50 miles, by night and by
day, through clear weather and through
fog, through wind and comparative calm,
pursuing seemingly purposeless adven.
ture and abandoning it just at the time
when reward might have been in view.
w. H. Harmon, local forecast official of
the United States Weather Service, tells
the story. He was a passenger on the
steamer Pomona. which left San Fran.
cisco, bound for Eureka, on a recent after
noon.
When the steamer was off the bar there
came sliding into view-literally sliding.
or coasting g seagull with one leg
broken. The injured limb hung down,
while the other was closely curled up
under the gull's body. The broken leg
was sufficient to identify the bird.
When the Pomona vas headed up the
COAST on came LQo DlIQ WIFI character
istic shrill scream, sometimes flying and
sometimes coasting. After circling around
the steamer for time it took up posi-
tion almost over the vessel, and there it
hung, as if suspended by an invisible wire.
Seagulis are so common that for some
hours no one paid any especial attention
to the bird. But after it had performed
an extraordinary feat of "eoasting," in
which 1t maintained its position against
b. cad wind for twenty minutes at time,
without once perceptibly moving or
changing the position of its wings, Mr..
Ham mon, who is keen observer, be-
came fascinated by the easy manner in
which the ''gull was sliding up to Eu-
reka," as he expresses it. In fact, there
seemed to be absolutely no difficulty for
the gull to coast half an hour at time,
looking nonchalantly at the foaming bill
lows. and always preserving distance, as
the military men might say, with the
precision of file closer.
Coasting on smaller scale by gulls is
commonly observed from the decks of the
local ferry boats, but these gulls never are
seen TO coast more than two or three
minutes without resuming the active use
of their wings. What the ocean flyer did
was considered most remarkable by Mr..
Harmon. who declares that now the
question is determined as to whether a

which is from the thing which is not:
that his spirit shall be so self-reliant and
virile that no amount of persuasion or ex-
ample shall tempt him to wander into the
fog of conventional falsehood. Tha. is
the only rational purpose. tie only excuse,
for the existence OF the university to-day.
Or course the fulfillment of such lofty
purpose requires large and carefully
selected staff, SO that each student shall
be known through and through by some
member of the faculty; and this requires
liberal endowment and an income which
shall not be stinted. Here is where the
University of California is handicapped.
1t is the proud but the false boast Of our
people that no man in this happy State
runs risk of starvation. In fact, we are
starving the minds of our young men and
women who are the hops of the State. and
that kind of starvation Is more terrible
and more lasting in its effects than the
attenuation of the stomach from the want
OF bodily food.
It brings flush Of shame to the Cali
fornian cheek to com pare the income OF
the Berkeley university with that OF cor
responding institutions in other parts of
the country. In this present year QS97I

versities is as follows:

gull ever makes a fight of hundreds OF
miles without interruption. There could
be no doubt of the identity of this bird
any more than there could be doubt Of
Mr.. Hammon's perception. But OF Mr..
Hammon's correctness in the following
we may be politely dubious.
.'Of course, the movement of the steamer
forward caused displacement of a cer-
tain volume of air. This displaced air
flowed upward and served to buoy up tn
gull, which was about amidships of the
steamer and not far overhead. Gravita-
tion naturally would have caused the bird
to fall but for the support which was thus
given it. With its outspread wings it had
supporting surface to resist the down
ward tendency almost like parachute in
effectiveness. In fact, placing its wings
at the proper angle the bird foated on
as easily as parachute and then coasted.
OF course it did not matter particularly
whether the wings struck the air or the
air struck the wings, speaking in general
way. The air forced upward, the impetus
given by gravitation and the use of wings
like sails was sufficient to account for the
long coasting of the bird"
Such is Mr.. Hammon's explanation.
1t was clear weather when the Pomona
began its cruise nortnward, but soon
afterward the fog came rolling in.
Sometimes the gull could be seen flying
overhead. When night closed in the bird
was still there.
Now, every mariner with whom the
writer of this article has talked ex-
pressed the opinion that, while gulls
may fly all day, they are pretty sure to
rest on the water by night. although it is
we'll known that they have nocturnal
sight, and would have no difficulty in
pursuing their way on that score in the
darkness. But it now seems that this i'm
preston may be generally mistaken.
Heretofore, owing to the fact that one gull
looked like another, and no certain bird
could be identified, this question has
never been settled.
When morning came the steamer was
far up the coast, going along steadily If
not very rapidly. When Mr.. Harmon
came on deck at an early hour there was
the gull OF the day before hanging still
over the steamer, sometimes using its
wings a little, but coasting more than
flying. 1t was seemingly as fresh as ever.
Occaslonally it made its voice heard, very
likely asking in bird language for its
breakfast Mr.. Ham M on called the atten-
ton Of other passengers to theirfaithful

1t is evident that if the University OF
California is to fulfill its duty its income
must be enlarged, either by act OF the
Legislature or by the endowment of
wealthy citizens. That something may
he expected from both sources no one will
doubt. The Legislature will probably per-
severe in the policy of llberality it inaug-
urated last winter, ana our rich people
are awake ming to their duty to education.
In the list of American millionaires pub
lished few years ago in the New York
Tribune Californians stood at the top of
the list in proportion to :otal population.
Our rich men have noble examples to
guide them. III the last half.century it is
said that no year has passed without some

and tireless feathered companion, which
speedily became an object of the Iiveliest
interest.
If the bird was aware that it was doing
ANYTHING out of the ordinary 1t gave no
evidence of it. Steadily it held on its
course and could apparently have done so
many hours longer without inconve-
nience.
At about 7 o'clock in the morning the
gull having been seventeen hours on the
wing without rest, the Pomona arrived
off the bar at Eureka and turned to go in.
The gull did not follow long. On the con-
trary with a shrili scream it turned and
few straight out seaward. When last
seen, its one dangling leg making it
marked object, it was still on the wing
and may have contin ued so for hours, for
all that is known.
Several pilots who have in the course OF
their voyages watched sea eulls carefully
said to an inquirer for 7 HE CALL that no
seagull has ever been encountered farther
from land than 200 miles, on either the
Atlantic or Pacific coast, so far as there is
any record; and the opinion OF these
observers was that fifty miles was about
as far as a gull would be liza BILE to fly at
one time without resting. Gulls have been
carefully observed and their habits noted
all over the world, there being gulIs of
different varieties even in Iceland, SpitZ-
bergen and other lands where the temper.
ature Is often very low.
Last week an account of q remarkable
fight of homing pieeon above the Sierra
Nevada was published in this paper. The
proba bility is that the authenticated fight
of the seagull which was observed SO
care fully by Mr.. Harmon is entitled to
be considered equally unique. At all
events there is no other seagulI record of
equal interest authenticity established
Atvario us times the idea of employing
seagulls for messenger service as homing
pigeons are used has been discussed.
The case in point demonstrates that they
have sufficient wing power. That is prob
ably all the endowment they have, for
their home is wherever they find them
selves at night except during the mating
season.
What prom pied the gull to fly $50 miles 2
The bird gets its name from Latin word
gulo, which means glutton. Very likely
that name explains it all. The chase was
inspired by the hope of getting fine NOR
sells from the steamers larder. When the
vessel turned in toward Eureka the wise
gull knew that the cruise was over.

with warm water, not not, and soft
rag, to look clean. If not, use them at

send your eggs clean and neat in bas-

from their sale. Some people prefer a
brown shelled egg, others the white. 1t
is therefore wise to assert them to meet
the wants Of customers. The large eggs
