STRENGTH OF GIBRAL TAR.


Its Overwhelming Eject Upon an
American Tourist.
There Is no doubt that Gibraltar Is,
from the nature Of It's location, the
strongest fortified spot on earth, said
a recently returned tourist, but the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it. They have very nonsense
cal rules and regulations governing the
fortifcation, and one Of them is that
no American can be admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
II do not think the combined guns Of
the rest of the world, all working to-
gether and for II hours each day, Sun
days and public holidays included, for
one year, could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock quarter Of mile thick, and
such thing as doing any damage in
a military sense would be simply nom
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
sarily have to be exposed In making
its attack. This exposure would have
to be within range Of the guns Of the
fort, even If they are so years out Of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns,
for with all that is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are out Of sight Of each other.
''While all this Is admitted by milf
tary men Of all countries, it seems
funny that there should be anything
Of secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people Of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time In the
history Of the world, but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar, as
sure you."-Washington Star.

Riley's Neat Copy.

James Whitcomb Riley wrote a long
poem for New York newspaper. It
was ordered in advance and was to be
sent in upon certain day. Now, most
writer's, especially poets, are dilatory.
But the Hoosier bard is an exception
to the rule. His poem arrived the day
it was promised. 1t came by express
in formidable parcel. First were the
outer wrappings Of heavy brown pa
per, then some soft packing stuff, and

DISCRIMINATING FREIGHT RATES.
TESTIMONY OF MERCHANTS OF
THE MIDDLE WEST
At the Hearing Of Complaints Reg
istered by the ST. Louis Business
Mems League.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-When the ses-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission began to-day kilograms from
retail dealers in several California
cities indorsing the ST. Louis Business
Mems League complaints were read.
The Duluth Chamber of Commerce,
through it's counsel, filed a petition of
Intervention on behalf of the complain
ants.
j.. R. Hickman of the ST. Louis Man
ufacturers' and Jobbers' Bureau, con-
tinued his testimony, showing how the
wide difference between carload and
less than carload rates affected the
iron and wagon material trade.
He was followed by H. o. Simmons,
at the head of local hardware house,
who said he did not desire to discuss
the existing rate schedule as a traffic
man, but as merchant who desired
that competition should be unrestricted.
THE discrimination which is being
practiced, he said, sis not alone detri-
mental to the ST. Louis wholesale
trade, but to the Pacific Coast retailer
as we'll. The class rate being high
and the carload rate much lower, the
retailer, though he cannot really af-
ford to do so, is tempted to buy goods
in car lots, thus overstocking himself,
and being forced to either distribute
part of his stock among other retailers
or. to cut his prices and destroy his
profit. 1t is clearly in restriction of
trade and healthy competition to force
a small dealer to conduct his business
at a loss. l have no complaint to-
make against existing rates except that
the difference between carload and less
than carload rates is too great, and
should be diminished. AS the tariff
now stands, it favors the rich as
against the poor
The most interesting testimony dur
ing the morning was that of j. j. Wait,
a Chicago traffic manager, represent
ing the hardware trade Mr.. Wait de-
voted much of his time to- showing that
some extraordinary influence was
brought to bear upon the Pacific Coast
roads to adopt the tariff of 1885, and
read extracts from the proceedings of
the st. Paul meeting in 1898 to show
that the influence was that of Pacific
Coast jobbers. He had prepared tables
showing how the trade of his house had,
as result of the difference between
the carload and less than carload rates,
been cut down in California, and how
a restoration of the old rate by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
had increased the business in Wash
ington and Oregon
Continuing the direct examination.
Attorney Calhoun asked Mr. Wait:
What will be the effect upon the COM
mercial interests of the country if the
practice became general of widening
the difference between carload and less
than carload rates, so that the big buy
er could buy carloads cheaply, and the
little buyer would have to pay exorbi-s
tant rates for less than carload lots?"'
1T would be to shut the little buyer
out of business

WATER WASTE AND FAMINE.
Necessity Of Economy Illustrated by
Engineer j. p. Lippincott.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15-When,
where and how the flood waters of Cal
ifornia are formed and wasted was
comprehensively explained and illus
trated by Engineer ]. B. Lippincott
of Los Angeles last evening at Metro
politan Temple.
AS the representative of this State of
the photographic branch of the United
States Geological Survey, Mr. Lippin-
colt is exceptionally conversant with
the practical side of the subject he dis
cussed. The photographed depart

atoms throughout the State and has

timber classification study is being con-
templated by the Geological Survey
upon these maps, and parties have been
in the field during the past season, COM
piling data of this nature and making
estimates of the cost of a complete
study of all the district surveyed.
But the purpose of the photographic
branch of this bureau is primarily to
compile data on the flow of streams. 1t
is as important to know the manner in
which a stream discharges its water as
it is to know its annual output. Streams
that maintain their summer flow, when
not reinforced by storage reservoirs,
are of greater value to irrigationistS
than streams that have intermittent
periods of flood and drought. A num-
Der of tn ablest engineers in the State
have been connected with these inves-
LEGATIONS, and reports have been made
on the irrigation systems of the San
Joaquin Valley and a portion of
Southern California. During the past
season, in addition to the observations
on stream flow, an accurate survey of
one reservoir site in the high Sierras
has been made, and explorations have
been made at the Victor Narrows. ON
the Mojave River, with diamond core
drills, to determine the character and
depth of bed rock at that point, which
is the largest unoccupied reservoir sta
in Southern California. The Director
OF the Geological Survey is empowered
by special Act of Congress to with
draw from the public domain any res
ervoir site which his agents may select
these reservoir sites to be held for
public purposes when required. There
have b en- surveyed and withdrawn from
public entry in connection with this
work forty-two reservoir sites.
The Geological Survey is willing to
cooperate with and assist all parties
who are making investigator of value
to those interested in irrigation or DOW
er development. During the last ses-
sion of the Legislature a proposal was
made that if the State should make
available an appropriation for these in
vest1gations, the Geological Survey
would expend dollar for dollar in our
State an amount equal to the appropri-
alton made by the State up to $4,000.
This measure passed both branches of
the Legislature without a dissenting
vote, but was vetoed by the Governor
on a technicality'

MAKING PEARLS TO ORDER.

and Taught the Jewelry Business.
Dlamor Is, rubies, emeralds and
%sapphire> have all been produced in
the laboratory, and it is now the turn
of the pearl, says tue New York Times.
Tue chemist, however, is not himself
the maker Of the new artificial pearls;
he IS only the collaboration. 1t is true
that false pearls are made from
mother-of-pearl, but their lustre is not
up to the mark. The Chinese have
long introduced grains of sand and
little knots Of wire into the she'll Of
the pearl oyster in order that the ami
mai, to relieve itself from the irrita-
ton so caused. may coat the foreign
substance with pearl. If this matter
be inserted between the shell and the
mantle the oyster a eject it by con-
fractions Of the body. TO prevent
thi, NJ. Boutan, a French experiment
ter, has %trepanned the shell and intro
duced a small bead Of nacre, which
nigh however, be a true pearl of a
small size, through the hole; and
fixed it by means of cement to tho
shell. This bean was in course of
time covered with nacre by the oyster,
and a fine large pearl was the resu t.
Dealers cannot distinguish it from an
Orient pearl. The question Of making
pearls In this way was recently dis
cussed at a meet G of the Acedanties
des Sciences, Paris, and NJ. Berthelot,
the famous CHI mist, observed that
such a pearl con'd only be considered
a true pearl if it had at least a hundred
layers Of the pearl nacre, otherwise it
would only be a foreign substance
covered with nacre. OF course, ii the
foreign matter is n pearl itself this
objection disappears, and we have the
means of producing pearls at will.
According to NJ. Lacaze Duthier, some
two years would be required for a
haliotide to produce a big pearl. The
artificial pearl of the trade, fabricated
from nacre, could also be coated in the
same way. Evidently the pearl muses.
and oyster are about to be domestic
ated for the production of pearls, as
the spider is for silk. Pearl divers
may become a legend Of the past.
