That story from Alabama is too hu-
initiating fer belief; yet it is told with
such circumstantiality that we are
driven to acceptance of it. 1t is re-
lated that until recently the telephone
was unknown in a certain large section
of Alabama About the time the wires
were put up and communication opened
between the towns of the region, the
Price CT cotton fell Unable to under
stand how a man in the town of Hunts
vile could talk with another hundred
miles away, the farmer people of the
section began to have superstitious
fears concerning the wires and instru-
ments Finally the suggestion grew
into expression that the telephone was
CharSeable with the slump in cotton
prices Thereupon the ignorant peo-
this they have continued until most of
the lines are down. 1t is reported
that SO firmly is this foolish folk of the
belief that the telephone is a thing of
evil and that it has worked a spell
upon their cotton industry, that the
wires could not be replaced save under
protection Of armed officers. And this
in the blaze of the intelligence of the
nineteenth century, and in the United
States Of America. Let us send no
more missionaries to Africa and the
islands of the sea.

On Friday We expressed doubts Of
the truth Of the official report made
by the Spanish commander in the
Philippines to the effect that the re-
bellion was suppressed, and that only
a few bands Of insurgents were in the
field, small in number and practically
harmless 1t was stated that 10, 1903
rebels had either surrendered or been
captured, and that now Spain could
safely withdraw the greater body Of
her forces. But now comes the news
by the steamer from the Orient that
the rebels are still in force, have again
become aggressive and are driving the
Spanish soldiers back to the coasts.
This accords with the idea We had of
the situation. The news by steamer is
probably correct, and we shall present
~ learn that the So called official report
was sent out TO affect sentiment re-
garding Cuba and the ability Of the
Spanish to suppress the insurrection
on that island.

The belief is entertained that by 1900

completed Then it will be possible
for the globe trotter to make the cir
cult of the earth in a month. The
road named win be the longest In the
world, covering not less than 1900
miles from ST. Petersburg to the Pa
ciffc ocean. When the line is complete
one can go from New York TO Bremen
in seven days; 10 st. Petersburg in
one and half days; to Valdeverta in
ten days. to San Francisco in ten
more, and to New York in four and a
half; making a total of thirty-three
days. Wien the Siberian road is well
settled and its line perfectly stocked,
it is believed that the time can be re-
duced three days.

THE UNIVERSITY FIRE.

strOyed the agricultural building at the

| town of Berkeley that it must nave
better fire protection, and 1t should also
| be q suggestion to the university au-
thorities that they need TO do little
something to protect themselves NO
! fire apparatus has even been owned by
| the university except a few lengths OF
| hose and when these were dragged to
the scene OF the fire yesterday 1t was
found the couplings would not fit the
taps 1t was necessary to take off the
! couplings split the hose and Wire 1t
on the taps, after which feeble little
| stream driZzled from the nozzle. 1t
took a long time for the Berkeley town
hose carts to arrive and stretch their
hose, but even then there was no en-
CINE and nothing could be done ex-
cept to prevent the spread of the fire
to other buildings.
There is too much valuable property
housed at Berkeley, to say nothing OF
/ the buildings themselves, to excuse
such state Of unpreparedness for fire
as this. The big North Hall, which is
a wooden building, might take fire ana
burn up as easily as the small building
which was destroyed yesterday. The
University Regents should buy either
hand fire engine, or a chemical and
then take steps TO organize fire brig
ade among the students. AS for the
| town Of Berkeley, the weakness of Its
fire department is scandalous, and the
citizens should procure some good en-
gines before they ask the State, or
Mrs Hearst, or anybody, to put an
other dollars worth of property on the

Decreasing Birth Rates In America

French economists are consoling
themselves for the gradual depopula-
ton of their country, pointing out that
Esany OF the American states, includ-
ing the whole of New England, are stil1
worse off, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. The birth rate in France
has fallen from 33 per 1000 at the be-
ginning of the century to % per 1000,
and is less than the death rate, SO that,
if the present conditions continue, in
about 200 years the French race will
have become extinct. In many of the
United States, however, matters are
even more serious. The birth rate in
Nevada is 1890 per 1000, so that, even
if no more people should emigrate from
that state. its population would die out
completely in less than 100 years.
Maine comes next with a birth rate
Of 1890 per 1000, which gives its race
about century longer to exist. New
Hampshire is third. with 1874 per 1000
Vermont is fourth, with 1875, and
strange to say, California, which comes
next. has a birth rateNof 1914 per
1000. or nearly 12 per cent less than
that of France.
