The growing interest in the forestry

Through this agency the people

to those which almost paralyzed Eu-
ropean States. and brought about re-
forms of the most drastic character.
Indeed Europe has not yet ceased to
trouble concerning the destruction of
its timber. 1t is calculated that fully
a century more must elapse before all
the danger from decreasing in Europe
will have passed. If the climate of
California is all we have to sell, all
else being thrown in-and there is much
of truth in the statement-then we need
to awake to the menace that threatens
If we would conserve the waters of the
State for irrigation, navigation and do

of plenty, we must, in the words of an
intelligent interior contemporary, keep
constantly before our minds the Arab

The raising of the $4,000 in San
Francisco over which there was so
much effort to duly celebrate the re-
turn of the California volunteers would
have been more quickly accomplished
had the workers been prescient enough
to perceive the money benefits to the
metropolis by reason of the investment.
Clearly they did not bank enough upon
the interest of the interior in the mat
ter. We are very far from challenging
pie of San Francisco, or their unselfish
joy in having their gallant regiment
back again. But coming to financial
showing there is comfort for them as
cisco raised something over 500, 1000 for
the celebration, all. or most, of which

nels of San Francisco trade, and none

of visitors in the big city at 100000.
their average stay at one and half
days and their minimum expenditure

gives a total of 100000. The reason

| probable that the So per capita expendi-
ture is fair averag ge-more likely $50
would be fair figure to assume, which
would give a total of money poured into
the city by interior visitors Of S150,0O0.
This input of coin may be considered
tribute on the part of the people of
the interior to the returning soldiers.
1t is their offering, not to self gratifica-
ton, but in acknowledgement Of the
valor, patriotism and devotion of the
California troops. It is their homage
to joy over their safe return and their
manifestation of State pride. 1t is their
contribution to the welcome given the
troops by the State of California, as
we'll as by the metropolis Of the State.

Symnafhetic Burglars.

The burglars who robbed Mrs. Della
Mendes, New York dressmaker, a few
days ago, of goods valued at 81 600 had
some feeling. The newspaper accounts
of the burglary noted that it was the
ninth time the place had been visited
by thieves, and that each time the
dressmaker's loss had been heavy, and
the statement produced remarkable

A HOPEFUL INDICATION.

Los Angeles Times: The statement
of Acting Postmaster General Heath,
to the effect that no more Americans
are to be appointed to the postal SER
vice in Porto Rico. Cuba or the Philip
pines is significant. In connection with
the explanation of Mr.. Heath It indi-
Gates that decided progress has been
made in the work Of establishing stable
government in. the islands raned.
Mr.. Heath, as quoted in a Washing
ton dispatch. declared that every pos
sible effort was being made to reduce
the expense of the mail service in
those countries, and with that end in
view the Postmaster General has re-
called all Americans sent 20 Porto
Rico on detail from the various
branches of the postal service in this
country. It is probable that a number
of Americans who have for some
months past been engaged in postal
work in the Islands will also be with
drawn, the object being to place the
work, SO far as possible. in the hands
of natives. tNow that the postal SER
vice in eachof2these countries has been
thoroughly reorganized," added Mr..
Heath, I'VE feel that we can safely
W1tnQfaW most OF the Americans anu
gradually transfer the work to the ma
tives.'
This latter statement probably applies
more particularly to Porto Rico and
Cuba than to the Philippines, for it is
evident that the time has not yet arriv-
ed for withdrawing Americans from the
service there and replacing them with
natives, to any considerable extent.
The situation in Cuba and Porto Rico,
as indicated by Mr.. Heath's statement,
is highly encouraging. 1t is the desire,
and intention of the United States Gov
ernment to withdraw from Cuba entire
ly at as early a date as practicable, and
to place the government of Porto Rico
so nearly as possible in the hands of
the Porto Ricans. The length of time
which will elapse before these results
can be accomplished must be deternIin-
ed largely by the inhabitants Of those
islands; that is to say, by the progress
which they make in the direction of ac-
quiring the capabilities of self govern
ment.

AN ADVANCE OF SCIENCE.

The West Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station reports some very
interesting and useful tests that have
been made of increased keeping quail
ties of milk which has been subjected
to great pressure The study of the eff
fects of pressure upon milk has been
going on among chemists for more than
two years. The results are now de-
f1nitely known.
It is established that in milk subject
ed to 100000 pounds pressure for from
one to two minutes, the keeping quail
ity was greatly improved. Fifty sam
pies were given pressures of from sew
| enty to ninety tons from five to sixty
minutes An equal number Of samples
from the same sources were set aside,
without treatment, but subjected to the
no ice being used, and all the opera
tions being carried on in the same room
The impressed samples We're always
sour in twenty-four hours while the
pressed samples kept twenty-four hours
longer. Some of the tested samples
kept forty-eight hours and some as long
as sixty.
The conclusion reached is that pres
sure OF thirty tons and over to the
square inch applied for one hour, may
be relied on to keep milk sweet for
twenty-four hours Milk that is sub
tected to ninety tons pressure for an
hour is found to keep for four days
and occasionally a sample thus treated
keeps for from one to. two weeks. It
is added that thirty tons pressure ap-
piled for from ten to twelve hours will
keep milk for from one to two weeks.
But the best results for practical
purposes were obtained with pressures
of for ten or fifteen tons for as many
days. Thus milk under such pressure
could be shipped for a five and ten
days journey, but the cylinders suffi-
GENTLY strong for the purpose would
weigh considerably more than the milk.
1t has also been found that pressure of
| forty tons at a temperature of 126 T.
for one hour applied to meats, has a
| preservative effect, and some samples
| treated in that way with water intro
duced to communicate the pressure un-
iformly made small samples keep we'll
for three months.
The value of these experiments are
obvious and need no comment 1t re-
mains to be seen how far this value can
be introduced into the practical use of
milk and meat that has to be shipped
considerable distances, or where it is
| desirable to keep them for quite a
length of time.

LOCAL AND GENERAL PROS
PERITY.

A correspondent suggests that the
great inpouring of people into San
Francisco this week from the interior
of the State to witness the home-com-
ing of the State volunteers argues for
the prosperity Of the State. That is
true. The tens of thousands who have
dropped the sledge at the anvil, the
book at the counter, the work on the
farm, the tool at the bench, the manu-
script in the Office and gone into San
San Francisco to welcome the State
soldiers home, proves that the people
are so conditioned that they can do this
have the money, and the promise of
more. Probably 5000 Sacramentans
are in San Francisco to-day.
It is perfectly safe to place the per
capita expenditures of our people there
at SO at the very lowest, exclusive of
the sum that it cost to make the trip.
That means then that a group Of Sac
ramentans are spending in a couple of
days nearly $4,000 for a short jaunt.

If we are to assume, as we may, that
other sections are as prosperous, and
that other parts sent as large delega-
tions to San Francisco as we did-and
assuredly such an assumption is war
ranted-then the people at large are
enjoying great prosperity.

ever Of teaching value there is in these
annual expositions Of the State, is to
have a larger class than heretofore,
and, that the benefits of the fair are to
be more general and generous
1t means that the district fairs are
going to do well this season also. and
that their benefits will be more widely
distributed and beneficially felt. In
short we look forward to a fall sea-
son of great prosperity and that at
Christmastide the chimney corner
