Baseball is gradually obtaining a
foothold in England, and during the
coming season there will be several
contests at the American national
game. Baseball has been played some
years in the metropolitan district, but
only by semi-professonal teams. and
they were merely exhibition contests.
An attempt is now being made to or

THE ANGLER

These days of mist and drizzle are
proving fatal days for the hungry
trout. The early angler has been on
the full go for three weeks now, and
every morning when he gets up he
takes long and earnest look at the
sky. If there is promise of rain there,
his impatience to be off for the trout
stream is such as to cause his wife
seven kinds of fits to get his breakfast
ready in hurry. And this wet
weather angler seldom returns empty
handed. He does not brave the rain
for nothing: He knows that his skill
at casting his line is made doubly eff
fective by the darkness, and he knows
that he doesn't have to keep lodging
behind brush and tangled willows to
prevent his shadow falling on the
water. The dark, cloudy day saves him
all this, and when he gets ready to go
home in the evening with a bunch of
trout in his basket, he is glad he
came.
Speaking of fishing, there are three
stages of a mans life with the line and
rod First, the fishing of his barefoot
days, the care free and unalloyed pas
time of roseate youth, that knows
neither responsibility nor worry. Sec
ond, the fishing of maturer years,
when one must wrest holiday or vaca-
tion-when he can, not always when
he would-from a calendar full of ham,
perings, full Of work and responsible
ity. Third, the fishing he has earned
along with the other good things of
life, by having accumulated the means
to enjoy himself, when he has waded
through the years of drive and appli-
cation and reached the climateric of
rest and happiness. Favored, indeed is
he who has had or is to have his share
of fishing in any one of these three
stages. Thrice blessed is he into whose
life fortune has decreed a generous
! measure of all three.

STREET SPRINKLING.

EDITOR ADVERTISER read
with much interest the letters of w.
Brede and Sydney Duck published this
day re salt water sprinkling, and am
able to endorse all the latter has to
say with regard to the salt water ex-
pertinent in Sydney, n. S. w. My re
collection, however, is that although
the complaints from the public were
loud and frequent for the reasons stat
ed by Sydney Duck, the discontinuance
of the use of salt water was directly
due to the vigorous protest of owners
of vehicles both licensed and private,
who complained of the damage caused
to their vehicles by being splashed with
salt water. AS we'll as affecting the
varnish of a vehicle, salt water has a
deleterious effect on rubber tires. 1t
is therefore safe to predict that the
proposed salt water sprinkling of our
streets will never pass the experimental
stage.

Systems.
Thinks From the Present Outlook
They are Somewhat Compli-
Gated and Volcanic.

W. j. Johnston, the New York pub
Usher, who, since August 23d, has been
making his first halt here in a tour
around the world, leaves today on the
Doric for Yokohama. Mr.. Johnston is
an energetic sightseer and close OBJ
server. He has visited most of the
Islands and met a number of our rep
resentative citizens. At the Hawaiian
Hotel yesterday he spoke enthusiastic
cally and appreciatively of the Hawaii
an Islands, their inhabitants, their eli
mate and their future.
What has most impressed me thus
far on my trip?" repeated Mr.. John
ston. For one thing, the delightful
quiet an tranquility and restfulness
to be found in the Paradise of the Pa
cific.' AS compared with the hustle and
turmoil of that particular section OF
the moral vineyard with which l am
most intimately acquainted, this seems
like another planet. 1t is assuredly an
ideal spot in which to enjoy a vacation
to the full-'the world forgetting, by
the world fortgot.'"
Il think, by the way" he added
that l may congratulate the good peo-
pie of Honolulu on the prospect that
they will soon have a modern system
of electric street railways, which will
take them to and from their homes
rapidly and comfortably and do much
to still further develop this beautiful
place. 1 have no personal interest in

fore many moons, a volcanic eruption
in street-railway circles here, quite
pyrotechnic in it's character while ii

The eminent scientist, Prof. Koch, of Berlin, who has achieved much fame and brought great blessings to human ity by running down microbes to their native lair, has departed for the Orient ~and-the tropics on still-hHRt- -feF-the origin of malaria. Naturally it occurred to so clever a man as the professor to look for the origin of malaria among the Malays, from whom 1t unquestiOn- ably derives its name, and we have no doubt that in a few weeks or months we shall hear that the bacilli are in full retreat, seeking refuge in the dense jun gles or in the caves of ocean. When the professor succeeded in capturing the cholera bacillus fifteen years ago he discovered that it was a comma, and he is inclined to believe that the same description will be applicable to the malaria bacillus. This, however, is wig orously disputed by scientists living in the low and marshy districts of the Middle West, who maintain that mala- ria is not a comma, but a period, and whe steadily contend that the only way of destroying the bacilli is to drown them out with whisky and quinine at the ratio of 16 to 1. On account of the popularity of this life-renewing remedy the efforts of the professor to stamp out malaria are surveyed with hostility in malarial selections. Many excellent verses have been written in delineation of that phase of human suffering con- mcnly termed fever and ager," and we remember reading last fall a very beautiful contribution from a poet, be- ginning ''The chill of yester cen is with me still" thereby disproving the popu- lar theory that a chill returns every other or third day.

What Iaa Dayf

Nine persons out of 10-yes. 999 out of every 1.O0O-if asked how long it takes the earth to turn once on it's axis would answer 24 hours, and to the question, How many times does it turn on it's axis in the course of the year the answer would be 3654 times. Both answers are wrong.
 It requires but 23 hours and 56 min utes for the earth to make one complete turn. and it makes 3664 turns during the year. The error springs from a wrong idea of what is meant by a day.
 The day is not. as is commonly sup posed. the time required by the earth to make one turn on its axis, but the interval between two successive pas sages of the sun across the meridian that is to say. the time which elapses after the sun is seen exactly south in its diurnal course through the heavens before it is again seen in that position.
 Now, in consequence of the earth's revolution in its orbit. or path round the sun. the sun has the appearance of moving very slowly in the heavens in direction from east to west At noon tomorrow the sun will be a short dis tance to the east of the point in the heavens at which it is seen at noon to- day. so that when the earth has made one complete turn it will still have to turn four minutes longer before the sun can again be seen exactly south.

Highly Annreciated-

An old Latin saying, Laudant quod non intelligent CThey praise what they do not understand, was once illus trated by an English tourist who hap pened into the Lutheran church at ElsiReFe- one Sunday morning Fhc tourist did not know a word of the Danish language, but he wrote, "The clergyman had a quiet earnestness of manner and a persuasive eloquence that pleased and attracted. I admired the discourse, although I did not un- derstand word of it." The book from which we have copied this illustration of a common practice tells the follow ing amusing story of a Dutch audience listening to one of Shakspeare's plays:
 I will tell you, such is de powers of de Shakespeare, that I vunce saw a play de great man acted in Anglish, in Holland, where der vas not vun per son in all de house but myself could onderstond it; yet dere vas not a per son in all dat house but vat vas in tears, dat is, all crying, blowing de nose. and weep very mouch; couldn't onderstond vun vurd of de play, yet all weeping. Suck vas de powers of de Shakespeare!
