The Japanese In California.

Every month sees more Japanese ar
rive, and a larger percentage Of them
are common laborers, who enter the hop
yards, orchards and sugar beet fields Of
California. In fruit packing they have
crowded out white men and
They are as quick as wonAn and girls
in handling fruit and are more accurate
and steadily industrious. They practi-
cally monopolize the industry of beet
pulling ON the large ranches devoted to
the sugar beet. Complaints Of the rapid
displacement of white laborers by Japa-
nese in orchard work induced the labor
bureau recently to make an investiga-
ton. Ther found that the Japanese
worked under a cooperative plan and
that by this means they were able to
make contracts at low prices. Several
associations in San Francisco are en-
gagged in house cleaning, dividing the
profits among their members. The jap
anese are Ding a large trade in San
Francisco in bamboo ware and mating,
which are used mainly for decoration of
rooms. They have cut into the Chinese
trade in curios and embroidered Sill
garments. -Chautauquan.

Army Marriages.

General Miles, as commanding gen.
eral Of the army, has just been called
upon to decide on a somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. As is we'll
known, the army authorities regard a
soldier married as a soldier marred, es-
pecially if the soldier is a private, and
commanding officers have often gone so
far IS to refuse permission to wed to
the men under them. Recently a chap
lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon
tana, Joined in the bonds of matrimony
a private stationed there and a young
woman who was working as a domestic
servant for the family Of one of the Off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper. The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the adjutant gen.
eral, from whom the case went to Cen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: "The
Of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While the objection to soldiers marry
ing is well recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law or regulations, and the mil
itary authorities are not, therefore. war
ranted in intervening. y

WHAT FoGs ARE MADE OF.
NebuIa Pull aerea and Their Airy Relatives
On Town and Country.

Ha
A convenient though not strictly sci
entific classification of fog types is sea
or coast fog, valley or hill fog and town
or dust fog. The last named has been
given the euphonic designation nebula
pulverea. II is an artificial rather than
a natural condition. The Rev. Clement
Ley, who gave a large portion of his life
to cloud study, says, in his book,
"Cloudland, y that in some parts of the
globe nebula pulverea is occasionally so
thick as to obscure almost totally the
sunlight, and in Abyssinia has led to
the tradition that the plague or dark
ness in Egypt was in reality an unusual
dust fog. The amount Of moisture varies
SO much in different fogs that the terms
"dry'' and wet" are used, the scien-
tifc name of the latter being nebula
stillans. In wet fog the particles are
apt to be larger than in dry fog. A still
further division, due, we believe, to
Robert II. Scott, is anticyolonic fog, or
fog in which no rain falls, while the
temperature, generally low in the morn
ing, continues to rise during the day,
CaAA SN1lOAl1 4b&s III NIlINll IL "
occur, while the temperature remains
about temporary.
Before leaving these town fogs we
may notice the part played by them in
affecting the health of the community.
Mr.. Scott has given figures showing the
mortality from diseases Of the respira-
tory system for some of the more memo
rable fogs of London. We have room
for but one of the many periods he gives.
From Jan. 26 to Feb. 6, 1880, London
experienced eight days of fog. The aver
age temperature at 8 o'clock in the
morning was 26 degrees f. The total
death rate was 49, per 1000, a rate
unequaled since the last cholera cpl
demic, and there were no less than /, 557
deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs
1t is not always al easy matter to
trace direct relationship even where the
statistics are carefully gathered, hut
there can be little doubt that these town
fogs are unwholesome. Indirectly they
affect the health of the community in q
way few would imagine. A town fog is
an excellent trap for noxious gases, hold
ing them close to the ground. DR.. r.
Barnes, studying this question, found,
by inspection Of gas plants near London,
that in foggy weather the escaping gas
was held in concentrated form in and
near the works. There are other sources
Of contamination in foul emanations
from the ground, sewers, etc. On clear,
bright days, even if no wind is blowing,
the law of diffusion Of gases acts more
effectively and helps dispense the gases.

lin proportion al communities be-
come more settled and p~opulous, Phil
ip, said MI. Gyatebar, "the gseat OPP
portunities that exist in them fly higher
and higher and become more and more
difficult to capture. For this reason men
often seek new fields, where the shoot
ing is easier. But in this, Philip, as in
everything else, one must exercise judg-
ment. He must find a field in which
game actually does exist, and one that
is likely to produce such opportunities
as he is able to turn to account. No
snow shoveler, for example, should To-
cate in the tropics. Nor could the best
boat builder that ever lived reasonably
expect to succeed in a desert, eveH
though 1t were hundreds Of miles lii ex-
tent and he had a monopoly of the bust
ness.
What 4 am e~ndeavoring to point orS
to you, Philip, is that not all new fields
are sure to yield a profit. AS a matter
of fact, many are quite barren. A man
must find the right place, and the dis
cernment that would enable him to do
this would almost certainly qualify him
to stay right here and fight with the
giants.
"And that is just what / should ad-
wise you to do. Philip. Here is where
the big game is to be found. But, as I
have before in substance remarked, you
must be prepared to meet it. Don't fool
away your time waiting at a bear lick
with a gun loaded for snipe. Philip. -

Even some of the street beggars are

to mix once more in its streets, where
all kinds of horses are driven by as
great a variety of men, from the ped
dler to the powdered wigged coachman.
Gable cars and trolleys would be sadly
out of place in London, and horseless
carriages would be a calamity. There

horse can trot, and the best way of all
is to walk, for then you can enjoy shop

cross the street as often as you wish, OF

ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Nineteenth Century Experiments and Re
yfvals Which Have Been Fruitless.


The best that can be said of the archi-
lecture of the nineteenth century is that
1t has beea. an architecture of exception
ally learned ingenious and accomplish
ed Municipalities. 1t has been an art of
experiments which have failed and of
r~evivals which have been fruitless.
These Municipalities, with their con.
sciousness highly educated and trained,
have been embarrassed rather than aided
by their knowledge of the great achieve
ments ~ the past, IL does not seem to
have occurred to them to appeal to the
sympathies of the people by uttering
their inspirations IN the vulgar tongue,
but they have labored with immense
talent and ingenuity to interpret and
apply dead languages. Their efforts
have been reminiscent, exclusive and
experimental. The architects have an
alyzed, theorized, disputed and argued.
They have formed schools conserving
classic or romantic traditions-schools
which have fallen apart because prog
ress has been found to be impossible on
merely archaeological lines.
Many of the Municipalities developed
under these conditions have been bril-
liant and powerful and have had a great
following of lesser men. As the century
has advanced certain of these individu-
alities have been inspired by nobler and
loftier motives. The architecture of the
century, because it has been nourished
in the same soil hat produced the cleo
trio telegraph, the telephone and all the
other triumphs of industrial art, has
exhibited a certain sporadic vitality, has
occasionally thrown out mighty branches
full of the possibilities Of a great frui-
ton, but because it has not enjoyed the
advantage of concentrated effort it has
not Powered as it Powered in the thir-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, still less
as it lowered in the ages of Pericles and
Augustus. Henry Van Brunt in At
