SEA LIONS OF CALEDONIA.

Mistaken lea.

Their Partial Lestruction Based on a
Mistaken Iiea.
Prof. Woodward's wholesome address
on the necessity Of verifying theories
by the observation of facts finds an ex-
cellent illustration in the sea lion ques-
ton in California. These animals,
which have long been priced by lovers
Of nature as one of the great attrac-
tions of the coast have fallen into dis
repute among the fishermen because
their presence was supposed to account
for the deterioration of certain fishing
grounds. So confident was the belief
in their Woodworking habits that their
destruction-or at least great reduc-
ton Of their numbers-was advocated
and in part accomplished by the State
Commission Of Fisheries, according to
a writer in Science. But 1t now ap-
pears that this belief was without sub
stantial foundation.
The appeal to fact has been made by
the critical examination of the stom-
achs of slaughtered sea lions, and 1t
has been found by Prof Dyche that the
twenty animals examined had eat
en- only squids and other cephalopods,
eschewing fish altogether.
The investigation of food habits by
means of stomach examination is OF far
reaching Importance. DR.. Merriam is
engaged, through the biological sur
vey in the most elaborate study Of
animal foods ever made. For many
years the stomachs of wild birds and
mammals have been systematically col
lected and laboriously studied, to the
end that the favorite and the occasion
al foods of each species in each season
of the year and in each part of the
country may become known. AS each
group is worked up the facts are pub
lshed by the Department of Agricul-
ture, and farmers and legislators are
thus informed what species may prop
erly be regarded as friendly and what
as hostile to the interests of the peo-
pie. In many instances it has been
found that popular impressions, almost
necessarily founded on a comparative
ly small number of facts, are alto
gether erroneous, so that war has been
waged on our friends and protection
given our enemies.

The handling of large crowds in
parades and other gatherings is always
a difficult matter. San Francisco has
solved the problem of keeping the
streets clear Of crowds for parades
without the usual Gordon of police. and
also without disturbing pavements by
the insertion OF poles in the pavement
upon which to string wires. The device
was recently illustrated and described
In the Municipal Journal and Engineer.
Metal sockets are sunk in the street
pavement just outside the curbs and
fifty feeta apart. They are conical in
shape. These sockets are embedded
and surrounded by four inches of con-
crete. The socket is open at the bot
tom. permitting drainage. A cast-iron
removable cap fits into the sockets
when not in use. Into these sockets
when parades are held are inserted
wooden posts of oregon pine, and the
wire cable is attached to these posts.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

Each year finds the new recruits who step into the ranks of the telephone brigade representatives of higher training. With every large telephone exchange there is now a regular school for employees.
 The school rooms are fitted witE dummy switchboards and imitation ap- paratus corresponding to all the other paraphernalia of regular exchange, and so the beginner in the field is given an opportunity to try her hand at the practical work of the vocation as well as being afforded an insight into the technical terms and theory. Following the plan now in force in many of the best schools of all kinds. a girl, if she does not learn readily un- der one teacher, is transferred to the care of another instructor. so that an aspirant Is never dismissed as unfitted for the work until she has had a very fair trial
 After her period of probation in the second room proper the new come: Is detailed to sit day after day beside an expert watch her work and hear her l explanations under all circumstances, until she gets a good idea of the sys- tenn It is weeks before she is intrusted with any definite responsibility. ani even then she is usually on duty only during the slack hours, when one of the old employees can keep an eye on al! she does.
 Under the new system, whereby a tl- ny electric light flashes up whenever a subscriber wishes to communicate with some one, there is far less strain upon the operators nerves than under the old plan, wherein the blare of bells was constantly In her ears.
 Inasmuch as the light Is extinguishcd the moment the subscriber has finished talking and hung up the receiver. the telephone girl need not continually bother to inquire: Are you through and inasmuch as she is required to make fewer motions and ask fewer questions, she naturally acccmpllshes more in any given space of time.

them. It removes them from their wealth and their poverty, fr5m luxury and need. All are forced to wear the same uniform, occupy the same plain quarters and subsist on the same plain food. The sou of the millionaire can spend no more money than the son of struggling farmer. for their pocket money Is furnished them by the gov. ernment and they are allowed 70 re- ceive none from any other source. The fag system Is only supplemental of the governments notion to keep things on the level at West Point.
 It Is mentioned in the letter lhat at one time there were two cadets Il, West Point both destined to- become famous. One of them, a son of ar ariS- tocratic house, the heir of great wealth handed down through generations, lose to the command of great armies. The conqueror of these armies was the cher cadet, the son of a tannr, whose life was struggle with poverty.
 This is historic incident that wc think would not have occurred If both had not been forced to be ''pauper stu. dents." The average West Pointer, whatever his subsequent business in life may be. for many do not go into the army. is much more successful and enjoys q greater degree of the respect of his community than the average graduate from Yale or Harvard, where there is no leveling. where there Is a height of aristocracy and a depth of poverty.

"f,EVIVALS."

At the M. E. church south yesterday morning Rev. R. A. Rowland preached on "Revivals." passing his remarks on Habakkuk iM, 2: 70. Lord. revive Thy work" He said in part: 'The liberal meaning of the word revive Is to recover new life or vigor tc be reansnated after season of de- | pression.' But when we speak of a | revival in relation to our church work | 1t is generally understood to mean not merely movement in which the spir- itual life of the members is quick | ened, or reanimated after season of depression. but also a movement in which thoEe who are dead in trespasses and In sin receive spiritual life and are born into the kingdom of God. He would use the word revival in its popular sense as indicating Suhe i'm | partation of life to those who are spir- ! itually dead as well as tho renewal of the life of those who have been exist | ing in a state Of suspended animation. | By a revival He meant an effort on | the part of the church winch should result in the conversion of sinners and the building up of believers on their | most holy faith.
 What are the conditions on which a revival may be obtained? What means must be used in order that we may have such an outpOuring of Gods spirit as will bring the revival we need? The first essential condition of revival is earnest, believing, united prayer to Almighty God for

 "2. That the careless and indifferent may be aroused to q sense of their own condition, and that of others; and that sinners may be convicted and con- verted by the energy of the holy spirit
 Tn order that we may have power with God in prayer and prevail. we must:
 'l. Intensely desire the blessing we are seeking.
 "2. Believe that God is able and willing to grant that for which we are asking.
 8. Possess perfect trust that He docs. while We are asking. grant our petition.
 Tn view of'the meeting they were about to hold. an important question each one ought to ask himself. or her self. is How may I help to promote d revival?' We may help:
 ''l. By Intense personal secration to God for service.
 ''2. By attending all the services un- less we have a reason which We shall not be ashamed to give to the Lord Jesus Christ at the day of judgment.
 "S. By inviting all We possibly can 70 attend the services.
 A. Converse with sinners about their salvation.
 '5. Kindly and sympathetically urge the other members of the church to do their duty.
 The meeting was to be conducted by Dr. Carradini. His methods might be different to theirs, or any they had seen. Their object, however. was the salvation of men, and if by any means known to human experience, CT that can be suggested by human ingenuity. sinners could be brought into personal. saving contact with the Lord Jesus Christ he would rejoice"
 In conclusion he urged every member cf the church to perform their whole duty

There is a curious instance of the involved sentence in a section of article
 of the bill providing a EXCEPT municipal government THE MAYOR fJr the cities and towns AND AL of Arizona, bet CT DERMEN." known as the Phoenix
 charter It Ia as fol- lows: The city council may. by or dinance. establish the compensation of all officers of said city and provide for their removal from cffice in case they receive or retain other or greater fees than so paid or fixed by the corpora tion for their services. except the of- fees of the mayo and aldermen" If this clause means what 1t may be con strued to mean and the charter should ever become of force, the other off cers than the mayor and aldermen, would naturally complain because they had not been 'let in on" the oppor- tunlty to accept bribes and extra com pensation, emoluments and perquisites. The section, however, does not mean that, but while the purpose of it Is ap- parent, 1t would be difficult, if not quite impossible, to prove the meaning by the language. What is intended to be conveyed by the exception in favor of the mayor and aldermen ds the ir- relevant fact that the council cannot fix their compensation. for that is all ready done by the charter They might. therefore. with propriety and in the interest Cf clearness have been left out of the section altogether: be- side, the contingency of their malfeas- ance or misf5asance is covered in an O. her section of the charter.

"Dr." R c. Flower. the promoter or exploter of the Arizona Eastern and
 Montana, has been in DR. terviswed in El Paso FLOWER regarding the New York AND HIS newspaper talk of which ENEMIES. he was lately made the
 subject, in connection with his stock selling operations. The "dOctor" attributes all this adverse publication to his enemies. That is not an unreasonable theory. His Friends certainly would not have played that kind of joke on him. It was not un- natural that holders of Arizona Eastern and Montana shlu;d feel "sore on" whoever had loaded them up or down with it and perhaps their sentiment of coldness toward the doctor amounted almost to enmity. Putting this and that together We believe that the doctors" surmise is worth c5n- siderlng; Ghis thing may have been
 
 thcr stated in the interview that in selling the stock he was acting in the line of his duty. Alas! how often it happens that our duty compels us to fill the wicked witch pain. The doc tor is shortly going back to New York, settle up the matter and reorga nize the company. The reorganization of the company ought not to be very difficult matter. If our memory serves us. 1t was the opinion of the stock holders that the doctor was the company. The stockholders will no doubt do anything they can to help him in the work of reorganization, provided their assistance does not in- vOlve the acquiring of more stock, of which, he says, he has a considerable block on hand.
