There is much to be thankful for in
the rumor that typewriters bid fair to

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Tell the Truth

Most of the newspapers of Southern
California believe that the interests Of
this part Of the state demand the fullest
publicity regarding frosted orange
groves. They believe that the citrus
fruit industry scientifically conducted
has a splendid future in these southern
counties, and they understand that the
quicker land unsuited to oranges or
lemons is used for other crops the more
prosperous will be this part of the state.
OF course protests against the publica-
ton of the facts will be raised. These
come chiefly from men who have groves
that are more or less nipped by frost
nearly every year. These orchardists
would gladly unload upon people igno-
rant Of the actual situation, and they
would like the press to aid them by si-
lence. 1t is to the credit Of Southern
California that very few Of the newspa-
pers are willing to thus become acces-
sories to swindling.-San Diego Union.

The Weather Bureau

Whatever poking Of fun may have
been indulged in in the past at the ex-
pense of the weather bureau service
and there has been all too much of it
it must be conceded now that the bu
reau has in the recent service in this
cold spell been accurate and of the
greatest benefit to the people Of the
whole coast. The fact is that the bureau
as a rule has been all along accurate in
it's forecasts. We are prone to find
fault with it when, like all human insti-
tutions, it has been in error, while we are
not given to awarding full credit for all
it's beneficence when reliable and cor
rect,-Sacramento Record Union.

A SMUGGlER'S TRICK.

"All this talk about smuggling re-
calls some Of the things / learned when

tired crock catcher the other day. New
ways of beating the government are be-
ing devised right along, and many OF
the tricks l discovered are old now.
There used to be more trouble with the
diamond smugglers than there appears
to be ut present. ! have found the

business without ever being suspected

THE NOSE AND THE TOES.



A physlcsi Cuituriss Say. Ptgeoate~d Pee
pile Have Crooked No~es-
A professor Of physical culture m
poupces that he has discovered an In
innate connection between deformities
Of the nose and the position OF the Feet
His name is ii. l. Piner, and he CON-
municates his observations to the New
York Journal:
lyon can tell pigeontoed person
without looking ut his feet or seeing
him walk. The discovery was made by
me in 1891 while teaching physical
culture. ! found a stubborn awkward
ness in the movements Of my pupils
feet. Looking for the cause. l found
that many Of them were pigeontoed.
In others one foot was correct and the
other turned in.
lin teaching correct breathing l had
to investigate the condition Of the nasal
passages. Then I found that wherever
the person was pigeontoed in the right
foot the right nostril was stopped mp or
otherwise deformed. II was the same
with the left foot or nostriL IL both
nostrils were defective, both feet were
pigeontoed.
At one time ! examined 26 persons,
and every one of them was pigeontoed
in the left foot with corresponding
defect in the left nostril. At another
time examined over 40 with view to
testing my discovery. Some of them had
we'll developed nostrils and were not at
all pigeontoed. Some had overwide
nostrils, with overwide angles at the
feet TO correspond.
Girls l found more generally and
worse pigeontoed than boys. The per-
son who has a whining or snuffiing
voice is usually pigeontoed.
Another discovery is that with the
defective nostrils were found invariably
stopped shoulders and hollow chests. the
stoop and hollow always bearing q
direct ratio with the defect. In extreme
cases there was an ugly protrusion OF
the abdomen, "a tendency to draw back
and upward the upper lip, exposing the
teeth, that have also an unsightly pro-
truding tendency.
"Tell your friend to walk from you.
Watch his feet. II the left turns in. tell
him that his left nostril is smaller than
the right. That is. that he can take
more air at any given inspiration through
the right than through the left nostri
alone. If the right foot turns in, tel
him his right nostril is the smaller.
Conversely, tell him to place thu
end Of the thumb under and against thu
nostrils alternately, breathing through
the open one each time, and ask hin
which nostril admits the greater amoun
of air. If it is the left. tell him be i
pigeontoed in the right foot and vic'
versa. Demonstrate by having him wall
naturally.
Remember that the proper angle j
80 degrees ON either side Of the niedial
line, or 60 degrees with both feet. d

MAzARlN BIBLES COME HIGH.


Called n.c.oOO For One Copy.
1.-THE sale Of the Ashburnham library
in London n copy n the Mazarin Bible
brought the good sized sum OF SIC, 600.
The Mazarin Bible is so called because
a copy Of il was first discovered by DE
Bure in the library Of Cardinal Mazarin.
in Paris, about .6O. Its value for book
collectors lies in the fact that II - the
first book Of any magnitude printed
from movable types IL was issued by
Gutenberg at Mainz, in 1900, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls il the
Gutenberg Bible. Ii is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 324 and
the second 3l7 pages each page consist
ing Of two columns The characters,
which are Gothic. are large and hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before the discovery Of this BIZ
be the so called Bamberg Bible Of PTS
ter was generally regarded a. the first
printed book. but that honor is now
universally accorded TO the former work.
According TO DIR. Austin Allibone.
there are six known copies OF the Maza-
rim Bible ON vellum, one OF which Is the
volume found in the Mazarin library.
The copies Oh vellum, however, are later
than the copies on paper. II of which
are known TO be in existence. There Is
a vellum copy of the Bible in the Brit
ish museum and a paper copy in the
I.enox library of this city. The present
value of a perfect copy OF the Mazarin
Bible on paper is about $4,000. and
those ON vellum are valued at about
$4,000. Practically. however, their
value is a variable quantity, depending
on what the book collectors are willing
TO give for them. 1t has long been a
matter Of dispute whether the types EN-
ployed in printing this Bible were me-
tallic or wooden. but the question Is
still undecided. As a specimen Of early
printing the work is magnificent. con-
