How Sound Is Carried.

From high ridge in Berkshire there Is
occasionally to be heard the sound of the
firing OF guns of Aldershot, thirty miles
to the eastward. These guns are chiefly
noticed in the summer time, when there
Is very rarely an east wind to help the
sound. Occasionally the reports are mis-
taken for distant thunder and thus cause
alarm at time when hay harvest is in
progress. There is, however, a saying in
the district that the guns are worse than
thunder, and this because they forecast,
not passing or local storm but rather
the approach of generally unsettled
weather. 1t is easy to prove that it is
continuity of a uniform moisture-laden
air stretching across that part of the
country that is the cause of the phenome-
non. The testimony of Seamen and other
trained observers goes to show that ho-
mogeneouS moist air or mist is the readi-
est vehicle of sound; that dry air seldom
or never conveys sound so readily, while
an atmosphere of varying density rem
ders all sound capricious
FROM sheltered, quiet lawn the Alder
shot guns had not been noticed all
through the late summer until far on in
one afternoon in the middle of August,
when their sound rolled out with great
diStinctness, the weather, to all appear
ance, remaining unchanged and the ba-
rometer standing firm and high. In the
night, however, thunder was heard for
some two hours, the first time for many
weeks, and in the morning the guns were
heard again more distinctly than before
In this case sound has been the clearest
and indeed the only telltals of humid
the countryside.-Th Contemporary Re

SAN DIEGO DEMOCRATS
WANT GRANT ELECTED

SAN DIEGO, Jan. H-The fact has
just leaked out tonight that the Demo-
cratic City Central Committee held a
meeting on January 4, at which U. S.
Grant was Endorsed for United States
Senator. Three-fourths of the members
Of the committee were present, and all
were unanimous in expressing the senti-
ment that Grant is the best available
candidate for the position to which he as
pires. While the committees action did
not take the form Of a request to the
Democratic legislators at Sacramento to
indorse Grant, it was intended to have
the same effect, local Democrats recog-
nizing that Grant is not only q represen-
tatlve citizen of the State, but embodies
all the qualities that are requisite in a
United States Senator. Chairman George
Il. Neale of the committee, when ques-
toned on the subject late tonight, said {:
o. y es, the committee took action indors-
ing Grant, but we have kept the matter
secret here until tonight, when the fact
was sent TO San Francisco. We did not
think 1t would be necessary to make the
fact of our Endorsement public, and it
may not be necessary at all. but in view
of the apparent deadlock in the Legisla-
ture we deemed it advisable to acquaint
: our Democrats In the Senate with our
position in the matter. We sincerely hope
that the Democrats at Sacramento will
tndorse Grant We know him and feel
that he is the best man for the dstin-
guished honor"

A STATE BUILDING FOR
SAN FRANCISCO

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 14.-Senator Braunhart has
introduced a bill in the Senate pro-
Viding for the purchase or lease of a site
and the erection of a State building in
san francisco. The bill is identical in its
provisions with that introduced by him
at the last session and which passed the
Senate, but died on the Assembly files.
The; bill appropriates $500 900 for the
purchase of a site and the erection of the
building, half Of the appropriation to be
available during the fffty-first fiscal wear
and half during the fifty-second fiscal
year. The Governor is empowered To an

expenses. They shall be allowed to an
point a secretary at q salary of $500 n
year The life Of the commission is linn
tied to four years.

WORKS WANTS TO RELIEVE
THE POOR FROM TAXES

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 13.-Assemblyman Works
of San Diego County will in a few days
introduce concurrent resolution provid-
ing for submission to the people of con-
stitutional amendment exempting from
taxation personal property to the value of
$20O in cases where the party owns no real
property.
Assemblyman Works contends that it
costs more to collect the taxes and keep
the books on an assessment of this
amount than the amount collected. Fur
thermore, the exemption will benefit a
poor class of people, and he thinks that
as an act Of justice to these citizens the
amendment should be submitted to the
voters OF the State. His amendment will
also provide that where the amount of
real property tax of any one citizen is Is
cents or less, as computed by the rate in
the CITY and county in which the prop
erty IS located, it shall be exempt from
taxation. The. argument the Assembly
m IA advances in favor of this proposition
Is the same as that he gives for the adon-
ton OF the personal property exemption.

Rhenish paper is correctly informed,
the bill will not be approved by the
Agrarians, for the Tageblatt adds the

framed SO as to prevent merican i'm

say: at would be an enjoyable symp-
tom if the Government began to show a
little more backbone toward the Agra

Official statistics of German exports
to the United States show that they
amounted during the last quarter in
the northern half of Germany, exclud-
ing the Zittlau consulate, to So, 500, 161,
compared with $9,024,947 in 1897. In the
southern half of Germany the exports
to the United States amounted to 49,
S15.189, being an increase of 1926, 539. The
total increase for the past quarter
amounted to about $5,00OO0O, mainly
due to sugar exports, which came to
a standstill during the last quarter of
1885, The total exports for 1898, how
ever. show a decrease when compared
with those of 1897. This also is mainly
traceable to sugar, which from the
Brunswick consulate alone the exports
diminished over $1,000, OO0
The semi-official Berlin Post sum-
marizing Germany's export trade for
1898. says referring to the United States
that excepting in the one item of sugar
Germanys exports We're not nearly so
moor as it was at first feared they
would be.
A strong movement in favor Of pro-
tectiye tariff has been set on foot by
the horticulturists of Germany. A meet
ing of over 1000 of them has addressed
a strongly worded petition to the i'm
perial government, reciting their rea-
sons for demanding protection. The
Minister of the Interior, Count Won
Posadowski-We elmer, has summoned
the president of the organization to
furnish him with additional informa-
ton on the subject and there is reason
to believe the Government intends to
frame a tariff measure which will meet
the horticulturists' views.
A sensational high treason trial has
been fixed for next month before the
Supreme Court of Leipsig. The pris-

Common sense teaches that a man should
not over-work or over-worFy; that he should
take ample time for his meals, for resting
and for recreation and sleep; that he should
not neglect the little ills of life, because.
they are the precursors of serious and fatal
maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to
make combinations of drugs that were i'm
possible in the days of the alchemists.
Medical science has taught when, how and

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Rumors of a coup
d'etat are in the air, and Premier Du-
puy's declaration in the Chamber on
Thursday that the army would not fol-
low the Savior, whose coming Paul de
Cassaignac prophesied, has not suf-
feed to dispel them.
The reports have taken different form
from those prevalent a month ago.
Then the fate of the republic was said
to be in the hands of certain generals
who were somewhat roughly used over
the Dreyfus case.
Now Brussels is the danger point.
The royalists appear to favor an i'm
perialist reaction. They seem. to think
that Prince Victor has a much better
chance of oyerthrowing the republic
than the Duke of Orleans.
Prince Victor has been biding his
time and opportunity, while Philippe
d'Orleans has burned his powder use
lessly in a manifesto which fell very
fiat some months ago. The Napoleonic
pretender has a good card in his
younger brother, Louis, who will soon
have q generals rank in the Russian
army.
Paul de Cassaignac is not the only
one predicting another Napoleonic
throne WITHIN month or so. Oln6rS
say not till the "affaire" is settled.
Major Count Esterhazy has sent to
NJ Mazeau President of the Court of
Cessation, synopsis of the evidence
which he says he would have given at
the Dreyfus revision inquiry if safe
conduct had been granted him. He adj
mits his relations during 1S9495 at the
request of Colonel Sandherr, chief of
the Information Bureau, with a foreign
agent, by which the count claims he
supplied the colonel with important in
formation, enabling him to combat
the intrigues Of an individual well
known, but whose position was made
unsafe to act openly against him"
Esterhazy adds that he was warned
a month ahead of Matthew Dreyfus'
intention and denounced 1t at the in
stigation of Colonel Picquart. Suisse
quent to this he had the closest rela-
lions with his superiors and acted
throughout on their instructions until
January T. 1898, when, he claims, the
War Ministry suddenly assumed hos
tile attitude toward him.
Fresh proceedings, the Count asserts.
were instituted at the .-~tioation Of his
cousin, with the view of getting him
out of the way and preventing him
from testifying before the Court of
Cessation.
In conclusion Esterhazy says
"Alone, exiled abandoned by those
who should have defended me, have
resisted the most tempting offers and
have refused to say or write word
against my chiefs. I hope the pain will
be spared me of having to appeal to the
tribunal of public opinion from the de-
cision of the Court of Cessation"

Pretty French sentimentaIitv.

The Jour, which is one of the loudest
and most influential of latter day French
newspapers, published on November Is a
paragraph on a duel which a member of
its staff had fought with a lawyer named
NJ. Morel, and the terms employed by that
journal throw a curious side light upon
the chivalry of some of the writing and
fighting classes in France: I'VE have had
the happiness to learn that the wound re-
ceived yesterday by Lawyer Morel is more
serious than was supposed at first. Con-
sidering that it is complicated with a bad
disease, there are good grounds for hoping
that this wound will have serious conse-
quences. "-Contemporary Review.

FRENCH LADY LAWYERS

In Paris there are no obstacles in the
way of a lady studying with view To
being called to the bar, but it appears
that after she has been called, and She
desires to turn her studies to profitah HE
account, her troubles begin A large
number of barristers are not in favor Of
lady advocates, but it seems that a com
mission which lately sat to discuss the
subject has pronounced in favor of the
ladies. And 1t is this decision which is
causing emotion at the Palais de Justice
just now. The prospect of lady barris
tiers, gowned and bewigged, sitting in the
court under the eye of the President is
not at all to the liking of old bar hands
though the young ones, if the Evenement
is to be believed, are disposed to welcome
the innovation.-London Globe.
