WHY HE is AN AMERICAN.
Life Here and in England Compared by
Sea Captaju,

He was lunChing with a party of other
American citizens. A round-headed,
short, chunky sea captain he was, with
a smooth face and determined java
good, honest, hearty sea-faring English
man with pleasant manners and a
charming smile. He had been captain
of transatlantic vessels for years and
had also been over most of the world.
Il was not home for Christmas" he
said. Il never am home for long, any
way. In 80 years l was hardly ever at
any one place for month 1t a time and
seldom home for over two weeks at a
stretch in all that time. Still love my

''"Then you were valuable acquisition
to the United States when you became
a citizen. When did you join us?''
There were many reasons. l am very
proud of being an Englishman and of
England's history, and | love the island.
One reason is the schooling for the chill
dren. l found the best schools, and ev-
cry one of my children is getting a good
education, much better than I could
give them in England. Why, I am edu-
eating all of my children and educat-
ing them well in the United States, and
1t costs me less than it would TO edu-
cate one of them in England. I would
have great difficulty in affording to give
one of them there the education thai
every one of them gets here"
But you have your school taXeS?"
We'll, I bought nice piece of ground
and a comfortable house in little town

How do other expenses compare?'
THE prices are about the same for
the things we eat, but we get fresher

looks like a typical innkeeper of

From the washington Post.
There being an unusually large crowd
of visitors in the gallery yesterday,
Senator Hannah made a speech. He ap-
peared in the senate chamber shortly
after II o'clock, attired in a neat fit

bundle of papers. CHANGING over the
senate to see whether there was a full
attendance, and being satisfied with his
observation, Mr.. Hanna next attempted
to catch the ce-president's eye. In
this he was not at first successful. but
after an embarrassing wait for several
minutes, during which the figure of the
senator was quite conspicuous from the
galleries. the vicepresident uttered the

Newport. The Adams and the Mohican
are assigned to duty as training ships on
the Pacific coast.
Each apprentice. upon enlisting in the
naval service, is credited with $40 for the
purpose of purchasing his outfit The
number of apprentices that can be en-
listed by law is 1000 at training stations
and on board training ships. 1t is expect
ed that this number will soon be increased
to $500
The object of the apprentice system Is

apprentices are American born or sons of
naturalZed citizens and the percentage
of American-born apprentices Is now
nearly 30. 1t Is expected and hoped that
these apprentices. having become twenty
one years old, will enlist in the naval
service, and the most likely among them
are selected for the course of six months
training in gunnery at the United States
gun factory at the Washington navy yard,
and subsequently transferred to Newport,
r. l., for another six months training in
torpedoes, diving etc. Upon the compile
ton of the course they receive "a certifi-
cate and are rated seamen gunners. 1t Is
from these men that the department Sc
lects the warrant officers of the navy to
fill the places Of gunner and boatswain.
The policy of the department in training
these boys as seamen in the navy is of the
utmost value to the national government.
and should be encouraged, nurtured and
maintained by all legitimate means posi-

Manila and Santiago has emphasized this.

AN IMPORTANT BILL
FOR AGRICULTURISTS

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 20.-There was a bill intro
duced in the Assembly this morning bv
Radclif of Santa Cruz, which, if it
passes, will eventuate into greater benefit
to the agricultural interests of this State
than any legislation that has yet gone
into history. On it's face it is a simple
proposition to appropriate SIS, 600 to be
expended by the Regents of the State
University In causing to be made a COM
plete and exhaustive investigation into the
distribution Of and variations in the rain
fall of the State and the effect thereof
upon the storage and utilization of flood
waters and upon the we'll and artesfan
supply throughout the State. 1t is further
provided that from time to time bulletins
OF these Investigations shall be published
and furnished free to all who may be
interested.
The ultimate of the Radcliff bill is the
establishment on the Unga Island. in
the Aleuuan group, of station where q
corps of engineers shall be stationed to
keep IN close observation the annual de-
nections of the Japan stream.
Scientists who have carefully studied
the problem agree that upon these deflec-
tons depend the California seasons. If
the Japanese current is running far out
at sea Its waters are cold when they final

is the result of the consequent scant
lists California has profuSe rains.
