Herbert Earlscliffe of Santa Bar
bara, Cal, has communicated to the
weather bureau, through the chamber
of commerce of Los Angeles, a sugges-
ton relative to fog that should call
forth all the inventive genius of Amer
lea. Mr.. Earlsciiffe says:
In California there are vast areas
OF valuable land where the water SUD
ply is insufficient. Nature has endeav-
ored to correct this by sending in heavy
fogs, laden with moisture, and it only
remains for the ingenuity of man to
utilize this. These fogs generally come
from the ocean at night during the
dry summer months, when most needed,
but are dissipated early in the morning
by the sun. Here is ample moisture
brought to our very doors if we could
but discover some simple and practical
method of condensing or precipitating
it on large scale
1t certainly is tantalizing to think of
this immense quantity of moisture
present and visible, but unavailable.
Neither science nor art at present can
suggest any feasible method of caus-
ing this fog to descend in refreshing
drops of rain. On the other hand. The
green vegetation at the SUBMITS Ut
many mountains has often been OBJ
served to be due essentially to cloud or
fog, and not to rain; it may, therefore,
be hoped that along the coast of Cali
fornia some device will soon be intro
duced that shall catch the fog par
ticles as they float along and force them
to trickle down in gentle streams of
water, so as to moisten the earth. We
do not propose to condenSe or precipl-
tate the atmospheric moisture in the
ordinary sense of those words. but
Simply to catch it as the leaves of the
trees do. We recall the so-called drio
from every rock and twig on the sum-
nit of Table Mountain at Cane Town,
and especially on the summit of Green
Mountain, in the island of Ascension,
and the dampneSS of the rocks on
Pixies Peak, and we cannot doubt that
in many spots throughout the globe
vegetation is kept alive by the small
amount of moisture that is caught on
the leaves, and, dripping thence to the
ground, is soaked up by the roots of the
plant. In fact there are several plants
whose leaves and branches are so ar
ranged as to facilitate drip and the
collection of moisture by this process.
What is needed by tie agriculturalist
or the California coast is some simple
mechanical arrangement by which the
quantity of fog particles shall be inter
cepted as they flow past any given
plant, and shall be forced to drip or
glide downward into the ground at the
root of the plant. Any fan-snaoed ar
rangements of sticks or slate that in
creases the area exposed to the Cog
should apparently increase the guam
tity of moisture carried down to the
roots. Mechanical devices, the exolcs-
ion of dynamite refrigerating appar-
atus and other analogous devices are
likely to be too expensive in comDari
son with the return they make.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Sidelights Thrown Upon the Lau-
leate of the Anglo-saxon People.

Pittsburg Dispatch)
There has been much printed about
Rudyard Kipling in this column during
the months, but the interest in his Won
derful personality and the intense anx-
iety over the issue of his life struggle
make nothing stale. Here is portral-
ture of him as sub-editor upon the La
flore Gazette. drawn by his associate,
Z. Kay Robinson: There was one pc
culiafity of Kipling's work which l
really must mention; namely, the
amount of ink he used to throw about.
In the heat of summer white cotton
trousers and a thin vest constituted his
office attire, and by the days end he
was spotted all over like a Dalmatlan
dog. He had a habit of dipping his pen
frequently and deep into the ink pot,
and as all his movements were abrupt.
almost jerky, the ink used to fly. When
he darted into my room, as he used TO
dc about one thing or another in con-
nection with the contents of the paper
a dozen times in the morning, had to
shout to him to stand OFF,; otherwise,
as l knew by experience, the ABRUPT
halt he would make, and the flourish
with which he placed the proof in his
hand before me, would send the penful
of ink-he always had full pen in his
hand-fying all over ne. Driving or
sometimes walking home to breakfast
in his light attire, plentifully besprink-
led with ink, his specialized face peep
ing out under an enormous mushroom
shaped pith hat. Kipling was a quaint
looking object.
When I knew Kipling in India he was
bubbling over with poetry, which his
hard days office work gave him no time
to write. The efforts of the native po-
lice band in the public gardens at La
hore to discourse English music to
sparse gathering of native nurses and
infants would awaken, as We passed,
some rhythm with accompanying
words in his mind, and he would be
obviously i'll at ease because he coul1
not get within reach of pen and ink.
Whether Kipling would ever have been
much of a musician | cannot say, but
/ know that all the poems he wrote
during the years we worked together
many of the Departmental Ditties.
for instance-were written not only to
music, but as music. ] have before me
now one of Kiplings poems of the De
partmental Ditty" order which, was
never published. One of midas little
wars" was in progress, and our special
correspondent had telegraphed that, on
account of our newspapers comments
on the composition of the generals
staff, he had been boycotted by the
generals orders. Here" said I, hand
ing the telegram to Kipling, is a sub
ject for nice little set of verses"
Kipling read the telegram, thought
moment. then said: Il have it. How
would this do-'Rum tiddy UNI ii tum ii
tum Ira la Ia ii tum ii tum?" Cor
words to that effect, hummed in notes
that suggested solo on the bugle). L
was quite accustomed to having verses
in their inceptional stage submitted in
this shape for editorial approval; so L
said that the poem sounded excellent,
and returned to my work. In twenty
minutes Kipling came to me with the
verse which began:
General Sir Arthur Victorious Jones.
Great is vermillion splashed with gold.

ATTEND THE CAUCUS.

Only four days remain of the time
allotted for the work of the state legis-
lature.
One hundred and thirty-f1ve ballots
for senator have been taken without an
election
Day after day the joint assembly
has met and dissolved without result.
Montana sensations have been
threatened and sprung at critical mo-
ments. the jackson construction" has
been put on everything to which its
patentee desired to attach it, peep-holes
have been sawed and decoys have lost
their nerve, and the whole delay and
disorder may be traced to one plot
Matching, non-partisan senatorial head
quarters and two or three disgruntled
Democrats, who seem to have no inter
est in either the party or the legis-
lature.
But the responsibility for this delay,
this loss of party opportunity, this
wasting of the peoples money. rests
upon the Democracy of Utah. The peo-
pie will hold it to an accounting.
And the failure of the Democratic
party TO elect a senator, to do the work
the people commissioned it to do, lies
at the door of Democrats who refuse to
caucus.
Democrats who continue to oppose a
caucus. who still refuse to listen to
and abide by its decision, are no longer
entitled to the consideration or respect
of the party which honored them.
Let Democrats remember that the
party is greater than any member of
it; that the majority is bigger than
any minority faction; that the good of
the organization should always be held
paramount to the ambitions of any can
didate.
Let every Democrat in the legisla-
ture mark wei the senatorial candidate
who, at this late hour, advises his fol-
lowers to remain away from or to bolt
q party caucus. For such an aspirant
is unworthy; he holds himself above the
party and places himself in the way Of
its victory
Let every Democrat in the state re-
member who is to blame for a failure
to caucus if the present session of the
legislature closes without the election
of a Democrat to the senatorship.
Men who would rather maintain an
open breach than undertake peaceful
solution of the difficulty have no regard
for the party. and the party should
have no use for them.
The candidate whose hunger for office
outweighs his desire for harmony in the
party viii be shown up in his proper
light.
There ought to be a Democratic eau
Gus held tonight and every Democrat
should attend. 1t is time to get down
to business or acknowledge that two
thirds Democratic majority is helpless
and that q Democratic victory might as
we'll have been a Republican victory
for ali the good it does the Democratic
party.

SHALL MlNoRiTlES DICTATE?

Ninorities have rights They have a
light to be heard, a right to express a
preference, a right to enter a protest, a
right TO support their ideals as long as
there is any chance to win
But minorities have no right to die
tate. They have no right to obstruct
progress. They have no right to defeat
the viii of the people as expressed by
majorities.
One of the fundamental principles of
Democracy is the unquestioned right of
a majority to control. government
is built upon the foundation Of majority
rule
1t is from this doctrine that the DEM
ocratic parry draws its inspiration. And
yet this organization, from its incep-
ton, has been handicapped and fire.
que1ltly exposed to injury from the ef-
forts Of men who, being in the minority,
have contended nevertheless, that they
represented the majority of the party;
men who have refused to acknowledge
the choice OF the majority of their col
leagues as the choice of their
party, and have continued to oppose
him to the bitter end. as. for example,
the gold Democrats did in 1896. The re
turns proved to them, as it always
pro~es. that the party stands by the
majority Of its chosen representatives.
The hard-earned prestige of Democ-
rscy is often wasted, the success of the
party is frequently jeopardized by the
attitude Of men who set themselves up
as greater than the organization, men
who arrogate to themselves, as indi-
viduals or as members of a faction, the
exclusive right to express the wishes
and preferences of the party, men who
ASSUME to dictate to majorities and
who repudiate the Democratic doctrine
of majority rule.
Il is hard to understand how officials,
themselves the creatures of majority
sway, can ignore the principle by
which they must have secured their
own nominations and election
Yet there are Democrats right here IN
Utah who are willing 10 subject the

TINY TOKENS.
Scranton Truth.)

Scranton Truth.)
The murmur of a waterfall
A mile away,
The rustic when robin lights
Upon a spray
The tapping of a lowland stream
On dipping boughs,
The sound of grazing from herd
OF gentle cows.
The echo from a wooded hill
OF cuckoo'S call,
The CULVER through the meadow grass
AT evening fall.
Too subtle are these harmonies
For pen and rule;
Such music is not understood
By any school.
But when the brain is overweight
1t hath spell
Beyond all human skill and power
To make it well.
The memory of kindly word
For long gone by.
The fragrance of a fading flower
Sent lovingly,
The cleaning of a sudden smile
Or sudden tear
The warmer pressure of the hands,
The tone of cheer,
The hush that means II cannot speak,
But / have heard"
The note that only bears a verse
From Gods own word;
Such tiny things we hardly count
As ministry;
The givers deening they have shown
Scant sympathy;
But, when the heart is overwrought,
Oh who can tell
The power of such tiny things
To make 1t well!

His Pertinacity.

Straight opposite Mr.. Kipling's house
at rockingham. on the other side of the
green, is a quaint old inn-the Plough,
kept by one Bleyber, who knew the
author of "Recessional' when he was a
swarthy youngster just home from In
dia. Bleyber and Mr.. Kipling are fast
friends, although they differ widely in
politics. Not long since Bleyber fell Ill,
and Mr.. Kipling, by way of cheering
him up was wont to drop in of an
evening to argue imperialism VS.. little
England's policy. The discussion in
variably waxed hot; so that when Mr..
kipling left, the innkeeper's pulse had
quickened abnoTmally. and he was few
erish to a degree which puzzled the
local physician.
At length. however, the medical man
heard of these visits. Going to Mr.. Kip
ling's house, he absolutely forbade him
to pay any more visits to Bleyber ''un-
less he wanted to murder the man with
argument" The incident excited much
amusement in rockingham; but nobody
laughs more heartily over it than Mr..
Kipling himself, unless, perhaps, it be
the now recovered innkeeper.
