Wars Growing shorter.

with the exception Of the Franco
Prussian war, the greatest war which
Europe has seen since tho days Of Ma
polean was the Crimean war, which
took place more than forty years ago,
and lasted about two years. The c8m
paigns of Napoleon, of course, while they
were considered short as compared
with some previous wars In Europe.
were certainly long as compared with
the wars of the past few decades. A
distinct movement I'M the direction Uf
the shorter duration Of wars Is to bs
noticed In the past few centuries.
Tho campaign in the Spanish Neither
lands lasted forty-two years. Then
followed the thirty-years' war In Eu
rope. ending In the peace OF West
phalia. Civil war In England lasted
from 1642 to 1860. although hostill.
ties were not In progress all that time
The wars of the Spanish Succession
Of the Austrian Succession, the Swed.
ish-Russian war, and the Seven
Years war followed, averaging about
ten years apiece. The Napoleonic cam.
paigns covered nearly fifteen years
The Crmean war lasted from 1854 tc
1856. In the war of the rebellion, IN
this country, the world saw the latest
war which extended over four years OF
time.
Since 1865, with the general introtiuc.
zion of the telegraph, the electric cable
and the modern system of railways
war has become a matter of q few
months at most. In 1860 Prussia de.
feated Austria In seven weeks. Prus.
sia defeated France In about two
months. The war between Russia and
Turkey began tn April, 1877, and was
practically finished by the close Of that
year. The war between China and ia,
pan began about midsummer, 1894. and
ended In March, 1895 The present wal
between Turkey and Greece seems to
be practically ended in about -four
weeks from the outbreak of formal hos.
tilltles. 1t seems to be shown by expe.
rience that two important civilized ma.
tions In these days of telegraph and
railway cannot conduct wars for any
length of time unless the centendLns
countries are separated by the ocean
or some other natural barrier.

The Knack Of Beating Eggs.

A person who asserts that few cooks
understand the knack of beating the
whites of eggs says that the best beat
er is wire whisk. Have the eggs
cold, and add a pinch of salt to them
before commencing to beat. They
should be light aud dry, and that
means to put air into them. So, at
each stroke with the beater lift it from
the eggs, and the work will be quick
ly accomplished.

Detectiug IcebergS,

One way in which the crew Of an

coast. coming into existence on March
81, 1854 Since then the members have
always held a shoot FOR prizes on every
Thanksgiving day. AS explained in the
invitations, the occasion IS more for the

Special Dispatch to The CALL

SACRAMENTO, Nov. '25.-Two rousing
meetings were held last night, and in
both instances the Folsom boulevard
project received impetus prolific of new
hope for the friends OF the measure.
The Oak Park meeting was called to
order by Morris Brooks, who first intro
duced President Luhrs OF the County
Com mission, who spoke briefly. j. r.
Price OF the State Board followed, ana for
one hour he discussed the bond Issue in a
manner that was greatly appreciated by
those present. In the course of his re-
marks he said:
GAS general proposition. an indebted
ness is thing 10 be avoided in private or
public affairs, but where the indebted
ness is assumed in the course of trans
action which brings profit in the long run
there can be no objections to it. The
county OF Sacramento in borrowing this
$l5,UOO makes an investment which Will
be profitable one al the end.
You are now spending from $50 900 to
$50, 900 annually upon your roads, and as
each year goes by you have nothing to
show for the expenditure. This amount
of money placed as we propose 10 place
the 1000 we are asking for would give
the county many miles of good roads,
which would require little or no expense
after once having been built"
Com missioner Price then demonstrated
to his audience that the tax, after all,
would be very light, and IN sustaining
that point said: "The amount YOU will
be asked to contribute annually for this
enterprise will be nlne mills, if your as
sessment reaches 500, 9 cents if you are
assessed for $1,000 and 80 cents if you are
fortunate enough to have an assessment
OF $40 000."
where the road is to be constructed there

those provements." he added, "lhey

respects to Supervisor jenkins, who has
gained much notoriety and unwelcome
criticism upon the position ne occupies in
the present contest.
While Com issioner Price was thus en-
gagged in the good work al Oak PARK, Com
missioner A he was doing the same thing
in Antelope little village on the ex-
treme eastern boundary Of the county. A
vote taken at both meetings shows that

Special Dispatch to THE CALL

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Clarence Hersch-
berger, the full back of the University of
Chicago, made name fnr himself in foot
ball history to-day by m king three sue
cessiu place kicks in the game between
The University OF Chicago and the Uni
versity of Michigan. One of them was so
difficult that the attempt would have
seemed foohardy had not his team
been we'll in the lead. The ball at the
time was not more than yards from
the side lines and 25 yards from the goal.
The ball was passed cleanIy and Cla Ike
placed it on the 35-yard line. An instant
later the ball was sailing high in the air.
1t dropped squareIy between the posts
and a new football record had been made.
The game, which was played In the
Coliseum, was kicking con est from start
10 finish, and in the punts Herschberger
easily showed his superiority over Han
nan of the Michigan team. An exchange
of punts would invariably net Chicago all
the way from to 20 yards.
The right end of ire line proved to be
Mlchigan's weakest point, and when Chi
cago was running with the ball most of
the gains were made there. Gardner
scored the first touchdown for Chicago
after a run of 35 yards. erschberger
success Sfuily tempted a place kick from
the 17-yard line, which ended the scoring
for the first half. Score: Chicago IL.
Michigan 0. 1t required an hour and five
minutes to play the first hall.
Early in the second half Teetsei made
Is var $ through lett tackle and end for
MlchIgan's first touchdown. Teetseli
kicked the goal. A few minutes later
Herschberger and Clarke dropped back
tor place kick from the 30-yard line,
and avain it was successful. Score; Chi

Wl.hIn a very few minutes Clarke and
Herschberger got in position for place
kick on the 35-yard line. The bal! sailed
owe the goal posts for the third time,

berger and Clarke attempted another place
kick, but the bait was fun bled by Clarke.
Michigan was the last to score. Baker
