effect is vital, both to the preservation
of springs and streams and to arteslan
supply. and preserves and supplements
artificial storage.
In a catchment area of five hundred
acres to one acre of reservoir space be-
low, each foot of depth of reservoir
capacity is equaled by an effective
storage capacity of soil of less than
one-fortieth of an inch, so that IT by
reason of covering the catchment area
with vegetation, one-fortieth OF an 1nch
Of rainfall can be caught beneath the
surface and let down slowly to de-
pendent springs and streams, this
fraction is the equivalent of an acre
covered one foot deep; or one lnCr
of moisture stored in the soil is equiv
alent to forty feet of water in the res
ervoir.
In many forests in California it takes
more than five inches of rainfall in the
autumn to give an appreciable in
crease of run off-showing that the for
est has checked the rate of run-off to
an extent more than 200 times greater
than the figure above mentioned as be-
ing the equivalent of a foot of water
in the reservoir.
The great difference in the storage
capacity of a timbered and non-tim-
bered area is plainly shown in the flood
capacity of the channels draining each

to sixty inches, the flood channels are

southern coast counties, upon which
the annual rainfall is from one-fourth
to one-fifth that in the northern noun
tain slopes. The run-off from the tree
less areas occurs in few hours
whilst that from the timbered areas is
so slow that it is not accomplished in
months.
In considering the prob ems connected
with the storage and conservation OF
water, it is essential to take up that
of the storage or sponge capacity OF
the soil and the means necessary to in
crease this. Whether reservoir space
be available or not, this factor and its
possible increase should not be neg
lected. for reservoir supplied from a
catchment area devoid of protecting
vegetation is soon silted up.
To directly trace and determine the
effect of an increased rate of rum of
upon artesian supply is difficult and
obscure problem. But the broad re
suits are clear Whether the water
seeps into and through permeab.e
strata, or under the edges of imperme-
able clays along the upper reaches OF
the valley channels, the result is the
same. If the catchment area be de-
nuded of vegetation and soil, decrease
in artesian supply must follow. This
is due to the shorter time in which
the rainfall can seep into the water
bearing strata-the increased rate Of
run-off going to swell the Volume and
destructiveness Of floods.
In order to bring these generaliza
lions into practical bearing upon tbs
problems which confront us in Cali
fornia, we will consider the areas SCI
aside as forest reservations and re-
naming as public domain in Califor'

ton it is certainly palpable that if ia
pan means to strike a serious blow at
Russian control she must do it quick
ly. for very soon Russia will be far
stronger than she Is now"
Discussing the bearings of Russia's
new naval estimates upon this question,
the official asserted that these certain
ly indicated the intention of the car to
increase the Russian fleet in Chinese
waters which, if done on the scope out
lined in the estimates, would leave ia
pan but little chance.
Another phase of these reports
which has astonished me-" said the Of
fetal, lis the suggestion of Chinese CO.
operation Thus far no nation has been
able to arouse the Chinese sufficiently
to get them to combine in military en-
terprses. If Japan has done this, or
even believes she has, then she mas ac-
complished more than Great britain or
Russia in century of effort.
The action of the United states gov
eminent in requesting assurances from
foreign governments regarding the
open door" policy in China has created
intense satisfaction in British ofhclal
circles.
Lord Salisbury" according to The
Official quoted above, has gladly ac-
uuiesced in this step on the part OF the
United States, which is regarded as
most potent evidence that the United
states recognizes the impossibility of
conducting their foreign affairs with
out the cooperation of other nations,
and as the first practical earnest of
their desire to conduct Eastern nego-
tiations in concert with European gov
ernmentS."

THE EXPLOSION
WAS TERRIFIC
One Man Blown to Atoms-Pieces Found
Miles Away-Shock Felt for
Long Distance.

Tiffin, Ohio, Nov. ia magazine
used by the Bradford nitro-glycerine
factory to store the product of their
factory located two and a half miles
east of Gibsonburg, exploded this aft
ernoon at 1870. The shock was heard
at towns within radius of 40 miles
and the effects Of the explosion in the
immediate neighborhood We're terrific.
The magazine was located in the woods
a quarter Of mile from any dwelling
and this alone prevented terrible loss
Of life. Benjamin Card, driver Of a
stock wagon, had brought load of 72O
quarts Of nitro glycerine from the fac
tory at Bradford and was unloading it
when the explosion took place. Just
how it happened will never be known.
Card and the two horses driven by him
received the frightful effects of the eX-
plosion. Card was blown to atoms and
pieces Of horsetlesh were found miles
away. 1t lis supposed that he had a
companion, but this is not positively
known.
The explosion made a hole seven feet
deep in the solid rock and trees In the
vicinity Were torn to splinters. People
within mile of the place were knocked

KILLED HIMSELF
WHEN ARRESTED
The Minister Was Guilty OF Criminal
Relations With Girls Under His Chargs
May Have Murdered His wife.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. 13.-About
seven years ago Rev. Adolph Foith
came to Cincinnati from Siebenbergeu,
Moravia, Austria. He first took charge
of a Lutheran church here as pastor.
He was soon made superintendent of
the Altenheim or home for aged Ger
mans. Here he showed executive abil-
ity that brought about the transfer of
himself and wife to the superntendency
of the German Orphans home. Here
they bore the titles. Father and Moth

The trustees of the asylum, after
thorough investigation, found that Faith

proprieties with some of the older girls
of the orphans home. They put war

police.
After his arrest, while in the patrol

Foith fell in violent commissions till his
life went out with the last one. One
theory is that he took some poison. AN
other is that excitement and nervous
ness caused his death.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The Commission Has the Subject Under
Consideration.


Consideration.
Washington, Nov. 13.-Whether Chi.
nese exclusion should be applied to the
Philippines is among the subjects en-
gaging the attention of the Philippine
commission. Considerable evidence
bearing on the matter has been col
lected, and besides presenting this tes-
timony with their full report, it Is ex-
pected q recommendation will have con-
siderable influence in shaping the
course Of this government and the ac-
ton Of congress. 1t is understood two
members of the commission, Messrs.
DENLY and Worcester, have expressed
themselves as favorable to an appli-
cation Of the Chinese exclusion act to
the Philippines. From the fact that
General Otis has issued an order for
Chinese exclusion, it Is assumed that
his voice as a member of the commits
sion also would be for Chinese exclu-
sion in the Philippines. The position of
Admiral Dewey, however, is understood
to be favorable to Chinese admission.
While this personal view of the adj
miral has been expressed to friends,
1t Is not known whether he would give
it official expression in case all his coll
leagues on the commission favored a
recommendation of exclusion. The at
titude of President Schurman has not
been made known, even in an informal
way. The exclusion question is in
volved to some extent with the inquiries
that the United States Is now making
of other powers as to the maintenance
of an open door policy in China. 1t
was stated to-day in an authoritative
diplomatic quarter that in case the
United States adopts a permanent pol
icy of Chinese exclusion in the Philip
pines, there is little doubt such course
would cause China to be less friendly
in her cooperation with the plans Of
the United States to extend our trade
in the empire.

IT is REGARDED
AS INCREDIBLE
Rumors of Trouble Between Japan and
Russia Exaggerated-Engla
Not Notified.

London, Nov. 13.-Careful inquiries
nothing extant in diplomatic circles
here to justify the alarmist view taken
by section of the press regarding
the situation in the far East. That a
serious denouement is so close at hand
as is indicated by advices from Eng
land during the last "a hours is re-
garded as incredible. For a long time
it has been known here and 1t was as
serted in associated press dispatches
two months ago that China and ia
pan were closely allied. but neither
British nor American diplomatists in
London believe that this alliance Is Of
an offensive nature.
At any rate, 1t can be asserted posi-
lively that if Japan and China con-
template aggressive action against
Russia, Lord Salisbury is not aware of
their intention. and 1t is scarcely prob
able that those powers would decide
upon any definite course without at
least consulting Great Britain, who, in
the nature of things, would be their
ally, whether active or passive. How
ever, while the foreign officials have no
information tending to confirm recent
sensational reports, they have come
to regard the eastern problem as so
difficult in respect of getting accurate
information that they would be sur
prised at nothing. They have endeav-
ored to take precautions against every
thing. In the words of the British Of
fetal who discussed the situation with
a representative of the associated
press:
while reports of a rupture be-
tween Russia and Japan are easy OF
creation and while they are liable tc
constant reiteration, so long as the dip
lomats of the press continue to view
the far East with such serious atten-

The change is explained in a footnote
attached:
"In the original draft of the report the
words won in an hour more propitious
for reward read won in a more propi-
