To Suppress the MOSQUITO.

Orders issued by the Government of
India to civil surgeons with entomolo-
gical proclivities require them "to
make collections of mosquitoes and 9TH
er flies that bite men or animals, in ac-
cordance with the instructions con-
tanned in Professor Ray Lanketer's
pamphlet" with view of determin-
ing the possible connection of malaria
and mosquitoes. For the general de-
struction of mosquitoes several methoGs
have been tried. In many places the
engineer has been successful by drain
ing the marshy areas. In others the
use of kerosene, by throwing it into the
water. where it forms a film on the
surface. has prevented the developing
larvae from reaching the air, and has
thus brought about their destruction A
more recent experiment has been the
employment of permanganate of pot
ash. which is said to kill the insect in
all stages of it's development AS this
chemical has also been largely en-
ployed for purifying the water of doubt
full wells and especially with the view
of protecting against the cholera bac-
illus. it would seem particularly appli-
cable for use in Intlia.-Indian CORE

Bit OF Unconscious Humor.

Unless the towels furnished for the
use of government clerks by Uncle Sam
are fastened in some manner they are
apt to be separated from the Govern
ment offices, although the name of the
department to which they belong is
woven in large letters in the end OF
each towel. The inability of some per-
sons to distinguish the property of the
Government from that of the citizen is
illustrated by a story Of a laundress,
Ellen, a colored woman, who has been
engaged to do the laundry work of two
women who were neighbors, mixed the
pieces in delivering them. She was in
formed that she had evidently brought
Miss Blanks towels to Miss Jones.
EFF dey yain't yo' towels she re-
piled, 81 dunno whose dey is. Dey isn't

marked 'Tresury Department maam.' =

Who will win out? These are practi-
cally the only two nations competing.
In sherry Uncle Sam won out, but
did not enter the market until Noyen-
Der. Spain has already to her credit
3,111 literS. For the whole period the
figures are: United States, 16, 200 liters
Spain, 1887 liters. Practically no 9TH
er competitors.
Eggs are consumed in enormous
quantities in the PHILIPPINES. Their
own production not equal to the de-
mand, China has come to her aid with

THESE FIVE MONTHS.
Here will be found a great market
for slightly damaged or out of date
hats. Our new encumbrances, az we
will certainly learn to call them in
time, do wear hats-on Sundays at the
Gallera or on paseo-and SO long as
they bear a foreign stamp or look, they
will hold steady demand. Where did
you get that hat?" could be sung here
and ever elicit replies covering every
point of hat production in this wide.
wide world. Spain and Germany and
China are evidently the only ones fully
appreciating this state of affairs. Com
plete figures are as follows: Spain,
1926; Germany, 2,74S; China, 2,236;
England, 71S; France, u, or $40 old,
damaged and out of style hats that
could hardly find an open market else
where.
Our boot and shoe manufacturers are
no doubt waiting for the civilization Of
the Filipino to reach the point of his
wearing shoes before trying the mar
ket, as not a boot or shoe was exported
to the Philippines by Uncle Sam. How
ever, / will say for the. benefit of these
manufacturers that our new, if OBJ
streperous, citizens are not all shoeless.
There were 80, 123 pairs imported in the
time I write of. Spain got the benefit
of most of this trade, with the cheap
and worthless production of China a
close second. It would seem a good
field for anticipation of demand for
some enterprising Yankee to enter.
Umbrellas are in great and growing
demand, and Spain succeeded in get
ting rid of 6, ,7S0. Her only competition
was England, with 400.
We have reached the end of the pres
ent available list of Filipino imports
1t can plainly be seen that Uncle Sam
has come nowhere near holding ur
his end for enterprise. Not demand
except that of liquors, was anticipated
by us as it was by other nations. Ii
is hardly justice to the United States
that cold figures should show that this
traffic holds the palm for enterprise
but such they do show. In every one
of the articles I have mentioned, ex-
cept possibly joss sticks and STANDARD
OIL there is plenty of. room for enter
prising Americans to get the market
and hold it. In the pacifcation and
permanent occupation of these islands
our trade enterprise must take a hand
as we'll as the army and navy. Other
wise we will be paying the expenses
while the nations of Europe collect the

The total importation of beer for the
period we are dealing with was 597, 23333

market just commencing. Under the
Spanish regime no great quantity of
beer was consumed, the one brewery of
Manila being capable of supplying the
resident demand

takes its proper position at the head of
the list with S,9S1 liters. Spain follows
with 300 liters, and then France,
beaten at her own game, with 2, 1S3 Ii

2,424 liters.
Spain evidently intends to fight for
the claret market, as she brought in

IN September. In October Uncle Sam
enters with 1.450 liters, against Spain s

of this city's most respected citizens and
a most honored public official. The fu-
neral was one Of the largest and most
Impressive ever seen in Alameda Ma

the solemn ritual of the Masonic fra
ternity. Rev. w. w. Scudder of the Con-
gregational Church, of which deceased

that in his death the city of Alameda had
met with an irreparable loss.
The floral offerings were numerous and
of a great variety of handsome designs.
Among these was one representing the

Prison the desperate man gave his name
as James Stewart and claimed that he
had recently arrived from Australia.
Shortly after Z o'clock last evening the
son of the violinist, while sitting in the
front room of his home, was startled by
sound resembling the breaking of bottle
in room overhead. Running upstairs he
discovered Stewart in the act OF rifi1ng
the bureau drawers. AS soon as the in
truder saw him he reached for his re-
volver and threatened to kill young
Newman if he made an outcry. Although
unarmed the brave youth without a mo-
ment's hesitation grappled with the
burglar, and, after taking possession OIL
the revolver, threw him to the MOOR
The noise of the struggle attracted the
attention of the other inmates of the
house, and they fastened TO the young
mans assistance. They found the purslaI
on the floor with Heyman standing over
him and threatening to blow ms head
off, If he made a move. Acting on ms
suggestion some one went TO the Irenouse
which is in the immediate vicinity ana
telephOned to the central foIce stdlioll
for an officer.
In the meantime Sergeant Shea, who
was attracted to the scene by the noise OF
the struggle, entered the house Just as
Stewart was making a vigorous effort to
escape He promptly seized MIN ana

City Prison. A razor. when peio1deGiu Si, 70

in one of his pockets.
A subsequent examination revealed that
Stewart first entered the vacant mousse
adjoining and ascending to the second
floor climbed to the window sill of the
Heyman residence. He then pried open
the window and entered the house:
The police are convinced that Stewart
is the porch climber who has been
operating in the Western Addition. They
believe he is the man who entered the
residence of Mrs. Cannon on Jones street
a short time ago and stole several hum
dred dollars worth of jewelry.
When questioned by Sergeant shea the
prisoner said he had been without any

ga NEW EARTH"
Lecture by A. j. Johnson Before the
Theosophical Society.

A ]. Johnson delivered an interesting
and scholarly lecture last night at the
Academy of Sciences building under the
auspices of the Universal Brotherhood,
Lodge No Z, Theosophists of America
1.-THE new earth,'' he said, will ma
terialize with the coming of Christ. We
are even now passing from the winter of
our discomfort to the spring OF new life.
We will be carried forward on the crest
OF the flood tide of joy and the whole
world will dance with the radiance of
happiness. This transition which is soon
to occur has been noted by astronomers,
who say that there will be remarkable
conjunction of planets with the sun. The
readjustment of the cycle will cause the
disturbance The new earth will increase
the amount of truth and happiness and
lessen the volume of pain and sorrow to
which we have always been subjected,
and we shall enter the springtime of the
world.
1.-THE great underlying principles of the
new cycle which is to be exemplified and
destroy all vice is now ready for presen-
tation, and in fact has already been pre-
sented. 1t is the principle. of Universal
Brotherhood. AS soon as 1t touches the
heart of man mankind will lose its feroc-
ity. The coming cycle will be free from
torture when the Christ Savior has again
descended to the earth to rule the hearts
of men"

KN0TTY QUESTIONS FOR
THE SUPERVISORS
BIG DEFICIT IN THE STREET DE.
PARTMENT FUND.
Will Order Repairs to Damaged
Streets and Jewers-May APP
point a Gas Inspector

The Supervisors will be confronted with
a serious question at their meeting to-
night. The late rains have caused great
damage throughout the city. Sewers have
been broken in many localities and a
number of streets have caved in Repairs
to these damaged portions are imperative.
There is at present the sum of s37, 900
to the credit of the street department
fund in the hanas oil the Supervisors for
the fiscal year ending June 30. The board
tonight will order the immedia
of the broken sewers and streets, and a
portion of this $37 900 will be used for that
purpose as an emergency fund How the
street department will carry out neces-
sary work for the next six months win
the small amount available is a knotty
question upon which the Supervisors
themselves are unable to see their way
clearly.
At to-nights meetin- 1t is also expected
that the Spring Valley Water Company
will have complied with Deasy's resolu-
tons, which were passed at the las meet
ing. The resolutions call for detailed
statement of the corporations affairs, as
required by section 2, article IA of the
Constitution. The statement required is
to be so complete that the company may
not be able to furnish ii in so short a
time, but the board will not tolerate any
dflatory tactics and will insist on get
ting the facts and figures at the earliest
possible moment
These resolutions have been passed an
nually by previous boards, but they have
somehow or other failed In their object
and they have never before resulted in
the furnishing of the statement. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the present
board is more serious in its intentions
than former ones have been.
The question of the acceptance of the
Cit Hall from the Commissioners will not
come up for some time, as the board is
to receive an itemized account of the
amount necessary to patch up the holes
in the roof and other needed alterations
1t is certain that the building will not be
accepted by the board until 1t is put in
first class shape, and that will necessarily
take some time.
1t is more than likely that the board
will take up the appointment of Gas
Inspector at to-nights meeting. Super
visor Perrault so stated last evening, and
Republican. Considering that the Mayor
has the appointing power, subject to con-
firmation by the board, it looks as If
