THE LAST MAN SHAVED.

An Explanation by the Barber That Did
Not Quiet His Nerves.
There were FIVE Of us hunting and
hshing in the Queensland bush when
nj rainy dag q stranger appeared. He
said he was q tramp barber, and ~
none Of MS had been shaved for q fort
night we gave Elm half a days work.
About four hours after he had left N
sband Of six men rode up, and the leader
inquired II we had seen a tall, roughly
dressed man pass that way. We told
him Of the barber, and he looked from
man to man and exclaimed:
"Good gracious, but you are all
freshly shavedP"
Eyes, we gave the barber a job"
"And he shaved each one Of you?"
"He did, and did it WE'LL"
boys, do you hear that?" shouted
tho man ~ he turned to his companions.
"What Of it?' asked one Of our party.
"Why, he went insane yesterday and
ont . mau's throat in his barber's chair
' at Unadilla, and we're after him
70 put him in an asylum"
They rode away at a gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after .
hard fight and was tied ON his horse.
He seemed to remember us when he
VA given a drink of water, and as he
handed the cup back he quietly OBJ
served:
II say, gentlemen. please excuse me.
I meant to finish of the last man who
got shaved, but I got to thinking Of
something else, and it slipped my MIND"

IN interesting tale of Kansas justice
years ago. 1t was after her wedding trip
that her husband was called to Kansas
on business and a real estate dealer, out
Of spite, had him arrested. The prisoner
was taken before a local justice of the
peace. The incensed bride insisted upon
attending the trial, and while it was in
progress she s far forgot herself as to
deliberately level her opera glasses upon
the Justice, who dashed under the table
and shouted:
"Deperty, disarm that woman!"
The officer secured the glasses and
cautiously laid them before the magis.

81, 200 for contempt of court. With
gracious dignity she asked the right to
defend herself, and, going up to the
bench, she explained that the glasses
were not harmful, and had the justice
look through them, and after a few;
pretty words Of apology she presented
them to him. He hit the table a mighty

With . feeling that my words will
carry little weight with those who
think otherwise. I venture to suggest
that the Sahara Is not exactly what IL
10 commonly assumed to be, and yet in
many ways it is not very different. Its
arss sands, when approached from tho
sdde Of El-Kantara, are giant rocks,
burned brown and red under the glow
of the southern sun. standing out in
Wild pinnacles from the gently undu-
lating surface. This is not the desert
that Ia ordinarily pictured by the mind
that fat. endless expanse which fades
on unmoved and unbroken to the limits
Of vision-but it is the desert, neverthe-
less. just as much as the mountain
shows OF the far north are a part Of the
great arctic "sea of ice." Beyond, how.
ever, is the great plain itself, its swell
ing undulations hardly relieving to the
eye the appearance Of absolute flatness
which the picture offers.
The truth is, the Sahara presents
itself in a double aspect, that Of the fiat
and sandy plain and that Of the rocky
ridge or mountain, the Hammada. 1t is
the Hammada that is o particularly
dreaded by the caravans, for among
their wind swept crags there are few
oases, and only the blowing sands and
. relentless sun are the companions of
the f~ootsore pilgrim. In many parts Of
the fiat desert travelling is moderately
easy, for over long distances the surface
has become coated into a hard, Shiny
crust-a solid basement rock. one may
call it. Along our route Of travel there
were no sand dunes of any magnitude,
the highest perhaps scarcely exceed
ing Is or 20 feet, but l was informed by
the distinguished French explorer, NJ.
Foureaud, who was then stopping at
Biskra, that beyond Tuggurt they rise
to the prodigious height of from /, 200
to l,400 feet. This speaks even more
eloquently for the power Of the winds
than do the high tossed sands Of coral

WAR FUND RACES
Good Sport Promised at the Meet-Big
Fields Entered

Some doubt has been expressed regard
ing the truthfulness of the disposal of the
financial result of today and tomorrow's
wheelmens race meet at Agricultural park.
Mayor Snyder, who will be out of town to-
day, and Major ]. A. OFT have appointed
representatives who are to assume control
of the various entrances and censor all
tickets presented, and see that an official
count is made, and the proceeds turned over
to them. 1t is bona fide benefit, and the
results are to be used to the best advantage
to assist in equippng defense for the city
of Los Angeles, the method to be left to the
war board committee.
Probably the hottest contested event will
be the Throop school team from Pasadena
against the Los Angeles high school. The
great event this afternoon and tomorrow
will be the f1ve-mile dash between the rum
ming horse Prince Hooker and the multi
cycles. Prince Hooker has previously de-
feated a triplet on several occasions, but
this time sextet Of fast riders will en-
deavor to make things interesting for him
and the spectators.
The races today include ten-mile relay,
Throop school versus high school, one mile
novice, with four prizes; one mile anna
teur, five prizes; messenger boys race,
fremen's race, 100 yards dash; one mile,
handicap, amateur, eight prizes; two mile
handicap, amateur, eight prizes; horse YER
sus sextette and several special races for
special prizes. The gates are open at 1890,
and races begin at 130. This promises to
be one of the best meets ever held in Los
Angeles, as entries are In from ReNands,
Riverside, Pomona, Azusa, Monrovia, Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles.
The entries for the mile open are: Fred
Rowan, w. G. Furman, A. A. Crowley, r.
C. Hamlin. Ed LANCER, William King, Guy
r. Dutro. Bert Holloway, w. McClintock,

ALWAYS READY FOR WAR
Marvellous Rapidity in Preparing for
Offensive or Defensive Action

1t can no longer be said that Great
Britain is unprotected. The coast de-
lenses were never more compile or eff
ficient. Right around our shores stretch
these many defenses. not isolated and
therefore of little account, but forming
linked protection, with the telegraph or
telephone at hand to respond at naval
headquarters in London to the slightest
warning, and from Whitehall there
branch off private wires to the great ar
senals of Portsmouth, Devonport, Chat
ham and Sheerness.
A few words from any point on the
coast, belt an isolated coastguard station
or a lonely guardship, may in an hour or
two have led to orders of national i'm
port being flashed over sleeping towns
and villages to the naval commander in
chief at the coast, and before the outside
world knows Of impending danger all
the machinery Of defense will be In read
tness for an emergency. That this Is no
exaggeration those may Judge who re-
member the hasty commissioning of the
particular service squadron in January,
1896, when the German emperor's ILL
Judged telegram to President Kruger set
England ablaze with anger.
Before even the Times announced the
decision of the government to form this
new squadron, "to do anything and go
anywhere" as Mr.. Goschen explained,
the telegraph instruments at Whitehall
had been vigorously ticking, and, un-
known to the public, the admirals at
Chatham, Portsmouth and Devonport
had had their orders. By the time the
world was awake the preparations for
commissioning the ships had commenced,
and in few days squadron of powerful
modern vessels wed fitted out and ready
for any task. When the necessity arises
no less promptly will the machinery of
defensd be again put to the test, possibly
on more extensive scale.-Chamber's
Journal.

PREPARING A SEARCHLIGHT
Interesting Process and Results in an
American Factory


The searchlight is one of the most i'm
portant items in the electrical equipment OF
modern ships, and much interest attaches
to the present appearance of a new type
Of high-power lens mirror protector, made
especially for marine equipment. This lit
tie light is intended for the smaller class Of
yachts, 100 feet or under, and is not too large
for the smallest boat that can float a
dynamo to supply the current. The lens
Is nine inches in diameter, the total height
fifteen inches and the weight forty pounds.
1t throws a clear, round, solid beam, and
will show up buoy about half mile away
on dark night
Within the last few years America has
made great strides In the manufacture of
searchlights. In the same works where the
miniature protector just described was de-
signed, searchlights of seventy-two inches
diameter are now being constructed for
naval and commercial service. The firm,
instead of relying, as was formerly the GUS
tom, on foreign lensmakers, has fine lens
making plant of its own, where not only
the lenses are ground and polished, but the
special glass required is prepared In large
sweating furnace heated with crude oil
vaporized by heated compressed air.
The prepared glass is placed in fire-clay
molds of the shape of the rough lens and
the heat is gradually increased until the
glass "sweats" down between the halves of
the mold and the surplus oozes out from
the sides. The mold is then placed In an
oven and burned In redhot sand and the
temperature is gradually reduced over a
period of two weeks. The glass, when cold
has become Thoroughly annealed and will
stand the severe heating and chilling to
which 1t is exposed in the searchlights with
out risk of breakage.-Chicago Chronicle.

ROBBED IN HIS ROOM
John Falston Lost Some Money on

John Falston was robbed by an unknown
man Wednesday night in the New England

on the same corner, and they had several
drinks together. They retired, their beds
being in the same room. About midnight
Falston saw the stranger in the act of go

up and grappled with the fellow. but the
latter knocked him down and ran out, es-
Gaping on the Second street side.
Officer German entered the lodging house
from the San Pedro street side just as the
robber escaped by the other door. i've

W. 8. Abbott of the Fruit World, recent
ly sent to Montreal, Canada, for box

were sold at $2.65 box, while the Califor-
MIA oranges of the same grade-seedlings,
brought about 81 less a box than did the
damaged stuff.
The box which Mr.. Abbott received bears
the stamp of Jos. Maresca & Sons, Sor-
rento, Italy" but stenciled across the top
are the words, "California-Sunflower
Brand" 1t is also customary to represent
the foreign fruit sold as being some of the
famous California brands.
1t appears to be time that some action
was taken towards suppressing this crime
but whether the Canadian authorities pre-
fer to stand still and see their people rob-
bed, remains to be seen. In the mean
while the California papers can serve their
fruit growers by exposing the outrage as
fully as possible.
