To solder or not to solder connections
in telephone and telegraphic lines has
been niooted question for long time.
1t generally being conceded, however,
that soldered joint was the only safe
thing. Recent tests under crucial prac-

ance of well-made mechanical joint is
not appreciable, so that soldering is an
unnecessary expense.

Tallest of All Trees

In New South Wales, Victoria and Tas-

which Sir +. Won Mueller says, probably
represents "the tallest of all trees of the
globe" The loftlest specimen of this tree
yet measured towers to the height of All
feet. A PROSTATE tree. measured in Vic
toria, was 420 feet long, and the distance
from the roots to the lowest branch was
295 feet. At that point the trunk was four
feet in diameter and 800 feet from the butt
the diameter was still three feet. The
wood of this tree is hard and of good quail
ity, it grows quickly and yields a great
quantity of volatile oil from its leaves,
which are very abundant

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The ad-
vertised sumptuous revival of the Origi-
nal Swedish dialect play, "Ole
Olsen," was put in evidence last night
before a top-heavy house, crowded in
the neighborhood of the ceiling and
more sparingly attended in the lower
seats. The 'sumptuosity" of the pro-
duction was not visible to the naked eye,
unless the term may have been intended
to refer to the gorgeous array Of medals
which decorated the manly breast of the
Swedish gentleman who rode bicycle.
This familiar vehicle was mounted upon
q frame, which allowed the wheels to re-
volve freely, and their revolutions were
recorded upon a large dial. When the
pedallers had succeeded In making a
certain number of revolutions, which,
according to the veracicus interlocu-
tor, amounted to a mile, gong was
sounded and the audience was kindly in
formed how long it had taken to accom-
plish the feat. Two amateurs of husky
build made the distance Of a mile in 81
and So AS seconds respectively Mr.. Law
son, the Swedish champion, easily out
did their efforts by covering the same
space on the dial in 40 4-5 seconds, which
was very near his championship record
Of 4S is seconds. lie then did a half
mile, in shower of electric sparks, in
25 2-5 seconds.
The other Swedish gentleman played
the part of Ole Olsen and was Ben Hen
bricks who made of it a clever character
sketch, which kept the audience in good
humor throughout. There was lurid
melodramatic plot, in which child-steal-
ing and blowing things UP with gum
powder We're among the least exciting
events. Incidentally, there was large
lady, with a phenomenal power of vocif-
GRAFTON and wonderful agility Of move
ment, who delineated the familiar stage
Irish washerwoman; and there was lit
tie girl with the usual soubrette wig and
the familiar white frock which just came
to her knees and disclosed pair Of the
inevitable plump legs. In this airy Co.'S
tune the damsel was enjoying life In
ministering to the sad-eyed woman in
black, who was having her child con-
tinually abducted by the pair of villains
who persisted In pursuing her The au-
dience took everything good-naturedly
and applauded Ole Olsen and every one
else concerned.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Both Are Needed

The Los Angeles newspapers evfnce
much better temper than those of San d.
ego mi the matter of harbor appropriations.
While the silver gate papers strap and
snarl about the appropriation off $400,00 to
be expended at San Pedro next year. the
papers of the angelic town show not ruff
fled hair about the appropriation of $1S6, 400
for the San Diego harbor. More amia-
bility all around would be conducive to
mutual interests. Both San Diego and San
Pedro are In Southern California, brother
quilldrivers of our sunny land.-Redlands
