The Geographical Globe at Paris.

The proposed mammoth geographical
globe to be constructed for the Paris
exposition Of 1900, according to the
plan at present contemplated, will be
not less than $50 metres in diameter.
while that Of the Exposition Of 1889
was only about forty-two feet In di-
ameter, one-millionth that Of the earth.
Again, the difference between the two,
as explained and illustrated in La Re-
vue, shows the features OF the contem-
plated structure to be far more won
derful than those of the former. 1t is
to contain upon Its five interior floors
representations of all the various coun-
tries In the world. That is, the visitor
is to be transported by electric rail-
ways from one country to another in
such manner that, In traversing the
interior of this huge globe he will prac-
tically visit every part Of the earth.

his soldiers. The evidence seems to
point TO the fact that to relieve him.
self from disgrace, he made charges
against Miss Clsneros of having enticed
him to her home for the purpose Of
having him assassinated. This charge
is completely refuted by the fact that
Col. Berriz was in the hands OF Miss
Cisneros friends for more than two
hours, and was entirely unharmed.
The story of the incarceration OF the
beautiful girl in the prison for fallen
women is fresh in the minds of all.
There she was detained with scarcely
the necessities of life, and compelled
to associate with the lowest creatures
in the city. These facts are fully es-
tablished by the testimony of several
Cuban ladies who were in prison with
her. and who have since been liberated
and are now in New York city. The in
terest which the American ladies have
taken in the case has already born
fruit, for instructions were telegraphed
from the Queen to give the young lady
proper care, and to treat her as
distinguished prisoner. She has since
been removed from the prison and
placed in a convent.
There is no longer the slightest fear
Of the cruel sentence being put into
execution, but there is every reason to
believe that it would have been, had 1t
not been for the all-powerful appeal of
the women of America With that ap-
peal is now coupled the demand that
Miss Cisneros be sent to America, and
permitted to live among the women
whose efforts have rescued her from
a living death.

which consumes so much energy and
vital force that seasons of rest be-
come absolutely necessary. The troll
BILE Is, however, that vacations do not
by any means bring rest. There is
many man, and woman too, now re-
turning to town whose vacation has
brought only a ceaseless round of
pleasurable excitement. But 1t has, at
least, been a change, has enabled them
to get out of the ruts in which theirlives
were running. AS people become more
sensible they will gradually learn how
to take vacations that are restful and
recuperative and which will, In reality,
fortify one for the hard work of the
coming winter. Some have already
learned the art of thus preparing for
the strain upon their constitutions.
These are philosophers and are to be
envied
But even the fashionable summer
resorts, with their continual whirl of
excitement. their competition in dress
and display, all Of which absorb so
much of time, and both mental and
physical energy are Infinitely better for
the jaded business man and woman of
society than no vacation at all, because
the change of air scenes and surround
tngs has diverted the mind and shifted
the strain for the time at least, to other
quarters. If person walking up hill
turns around when tired and walks
backward, he will become partially
rested, because the backward step
brings into use a different set of mus
cles and relieves the strain ON others.

even In our 'recreations," perhaps
some portions of our physical and men,

how much better 1t might be, iScastine
aside both care and the love of dis
play, our weary jaded city folk could
sit down in the cooling shadows of a
quiet farm-yard and rest both the
body and the mind.
A gentleman who returned to town
the other day, said that he believed he

expended for his vacation, in COM

VACATION DAYS.
SOME ARE LEARNING TO GET THE
MOST OUT OF THEM.

mo Delightful, Month of septomber-va-
cation Habit Growing on Our People
BOW Brave American Women Have
Saved the Cuban Child.
The wise man chooses the month OF
September in which to take his vaca-
tion. and the fool goes in August.
OF the truth of this remark there can
be but little dispute, but the man who
takes both August and September is
perhaps the wisest of all. The people
who most enjoy their summer outing
have come to see that September is
the month in which to get the most
out Of a vacation, and those who can
AFFORD it, linger longer at their seaside
and mountain homes. Ten years ago
September list was regarded as the day
for the homecoming of the absent city
folk. Now 1t is only one Of the days
aet for their returning, for hundreds
who have been at the seashore or 9TH
er resorts, are now going into the Cats
kills and not a few are invading the
Adirondacks.
Surely there Is no more acceptable
time for a vacation than this delightful
month of September. The heat of
summer is past, and the air is cool and
invigorating, thus giving a new zest
to sports and new energy to the hun
ter or the tourist as they climb the
mountain and commune with nature.
The Catskill mountain resorts reap
their richest harvests in September
II the weather is seasonable.
And Saratoga, too, never holds so
many attractions for some people as IN
September OF course the loud people
who follow the races, the people who
come to show their fine clothes and
tnrnouts, are not here now. But there
are hundreds of refined and intelligent
people who are among the most pleas
ant and companionable persons one
can meet, who will remain until Octo-
her. and gain more in health and
strength than others have lost by their
pleasure seeking amidst the heat and
d1scomforts OF August.
It has been given out officially that
the President was SO charmed with
Point Bluff, that he and his party have
promised to return there next year.
This Is gratifying to the managers Of
Tue DOJel, WHO are CeTIuln 10 reap q
rich harvest from this announcement.
This hotel has attracted much more at
tention than any other in the country
this year, and it Is all on account of
the presence of the plain and dignified
Chief Magistrate CT the Nation. It is
really little singular that the Ameri-
can people pay so much attention TO
the doings of the President, especial
ly when he is on his annual outing.
For four years we have had the papers
competing with each other to see which
could tell the largest fish story respect
ing the luck of Grover Cleveland. 1t
has been said that everything printed
about the President is read with the
keenest interest, and that especially all
that concerns his invalid wife is highly
priced.
In spite of the cry of hard times it
Is very evident that most Of the sum-
mer resorts have done a good business
this year, and some Of them have made
considerable money. The vacation
habit is growing upon the American
people, and 1t is we'll that such ia the
case. If any people need vacations, 1t
is those who live amidst the strain and

Captain De Lamar has been offered
So, ,OOO, COO for his De Lamar mines in Lin
coin county. Nearly 100000 was ex-
pended upon the property before ship
ment of bullion was made. Now, about
s25O00O is cleared monthly and a camp of
1000 people has been established.
Four hundred dollar ore Is being taken
from the Numa mine in Humboldt coun-
ty The mine was successfully worked in
1862 and large amount of ore was taken
out, but at depth of 224 feet water was
encountered, and the facilities then at
hand not being sufficient to keep the
shaft clear, work was suspended. Some
San Francisco parties took hold of the
property about a year ago and have 9
424 foot tunnel intersecting the ledge at
a depth Of 1856 feet, draining the old
workings. They also have drift 100 feet
long.
Nine feet of gold ore has been cut into
in the north drift from the Layton tun-
mel in the Sierra Nevada mine at Vir-
ginia City A crosscut run into the ledge
shows four feet of ore which is reported
to assay $50 per ton in gold, and five. feet
of ore assaying ABOUT $25 per ton.
Several tons of concentrates were
shipped from the lone Gold Mining COM
pany's mill at lone, Nye county, last
week.
Col. w. ]. Sutherland says that the
new plant to be used in working over the
tailings and low grade ore at Candelaria
in Esmeralda county shows that the new
process saves 60 per cent of the silver
and 80 per cent of the gold at cost of rs
cents per ton.

PASADENA

PASADENA, Aug. 22.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) In the opinion of many
old inhabitants, today was the hottest
day Pasadena has ever seen. Pasade-
mans who could not get away to the
beaches were confined to their bath
rooms. The church attendance was very
small and number of people assembled
in the arroyo TO enjoy religious service
under the trees, but even there the
weather was almost unbearably warm.
At noon today the thermometer within
a few yards of a constantly revolving
electric fan in Huff's drug store regis
tered 100 degrees in the shade.
The management of the Pasadena op-
era house plans to give this coming sea-
son an entertainment of high order six
nights in the week, beginning about
December 1st and closing not earlier
than June. A movable sectional floor
will be used for dancing and other pur-
poses. The scenery will be beautifully
set to represent the different water falls
of the world and electric fountains will
be put in. A pyramid light 200 feet in
height will surmount the building so as
to be visible for miles around. The other
buildings will be utilized for hotel pur-
poses and special arrangements will be
made with the electric road for the ac-
commodation of guests and spectators.
The building will also be enlarged to
three or four stories.

1t is considered a great property, fol-
during the last six months prospecting
about 1000 tons of pay ore were ex.

HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK
Amount Varies With the Occupation
Engaged In

According to Professor Allen, we
should drink from one-third to two-f1fth
as many ounces as we weigh pounds.
Therefore, for a man Weighing 16S
pounds, there would be required Sc to
GA ounces daily, or from one and one-half
TO four pints. This is ii very indefinite
answer. The amount of water required
depends on the season of the year, the
amount of work done and the kind of
food eaten. In hot weather we require
more than in cold, because Of the greater
loss through the skin, though this is in
part made up by the lesser amount passed
away through the, kidneys. If man
labors very hard he requires more than
if his labor is light. A man working il
foundry, where the temperature is
high and the perspiration profuse, not
infrequently drinks three or four gallons
daily. If the food is stimulating and
salty, more water is required than if It
is bland.
Vegetarians and those who use much
fruit require less water than those who
eat salt fish and pork, and often get
along on none except what is in their
food. In most cases our instincts tell
lis how much water to drink far better
than any hard or fixed rule. For ages
they have been acquiring knowledge
of how much to drink, and transmitting
that knowledge to descendants, and If
we follow them we shall not go far out
of the way.
1t is of more use to us to know that
pure water is essential, and that impure
water is one of the most dangerous
drinks than to know how much of it is
required daily. If one live in region
where the water is bad it should be
boiled and put away in bottles we'll
corked in an ice chest, and in addition
one should eat all the fruit one can.
if fruit agrees. Fruits contain not only
pure water but salts which are needed

SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA. Aug. 22.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) A meeting Of Orange
county walnut growers was held in the
city hall last night to take action in
reference to the practice Of sulphuring
walnuts. Walnut growers here and
elsewhere agree that while sulphur may
improve the appearance of nuts, its ap-
plication impairs the quality Of the prod
uct, and, according to the opinion of eX-
perts, renders it unwholesome as food.
Eastern dealers, it is said, are also op-
posed to the custom of sulphuring, and
upon the suggestion of leading growers
the meeting was called last night to
formulate some plan to have the practice
abolished. To this end committee was
appointed to interview the various asso-
Citations and to secure their CO operation

port at another meeting to be held here
