NOT TRACKLEss.

The "trackless Ocean" has long been
phrase of the past. The tracks of
both sailing vessels and of steamers
across the Atlantic are as well known
as a regular grand trunk road on land.
If you get into the tracks you will see
vessels almost every day, and indeed
many times a day, if you remain off
the tracks, you will see nothin~ day
in or day out. There are thus high
ways through the painless ocean, but
there are also great patches which no
vessel ever visits no keel ever burrows.
The Navy Department of the United
States has undertaken to chart the Pa
cifc into safe steamer high roads
These are thirty miles wide and extend
from San Francisco to Honolulu, San
Francisco to Nagasaki and Honolulu to
Guam and Manila. This is a scientific
way of doing things which would have
been looked upon with incredulity fifty
or sixty years ago.
Maury was really the forerunner of
this kind of work. He, however, chart
ed for sailing vessels and took into
consideration prevailing winds and cur
rents. Upon such a plan he charted
the whole Pacific Ocean, and those cap
tains who followed his charts made by
far the quicker passages. OF course
with Maury, the course differed accord
ing to the season of the year, and it
was watching these differences that
gave the navigator under Maurys sys-
tenn the advantage He knew where to
pick up a wind in January, and where
to look for one in June, where to avoid
a current in March and where to avoid
one in October.
The tracks which the Navy Depart
ment has laid across the Pacific are not
liable to changes of this sort. They go
straight ahead, only avoiding reefs and
Islands by a proper margin. Science
teaches us wonderful things, and ex-
perience adds its quota to theoretic
science.

detachments, which is the very worst
kind of warfare and the most unsatis-
factory, for no particular success either

pretty bad thing however for the coun-
try where the guerrilla fighting is being
carried on.

People with incomes over $500 will
have to bestir themselves to read up the
income tax law. When the Collector be-
gins to collect will come the time for a
test case and then the community will
know whether the tax can be a source
of public income or not. Collector Shaw
estimates that there are 5000 people on
the Islands with incomes above 5000 per
annum. OF course Collector Shaw
ought to know but it seems as if that
number was remarkably small out of
population of 1874 900.

other, and that the only way to ad-
vance the Territory is to devise means
for raising money, and then having an
perly spent and not wasted. AS for
being bankrupt, that is all nonsense. A
rich community like this is far from
bankrupt The Territorial financial af-
fairs are i'm muddle through leoisla-
tive incapacity in the mass, and legis-
lative venom in the few. Such a
squall as this may be easily weathered,
and a good captain will weather it by
using every means in his power. Such
means is offered through Term Treas

The postal savings bank accounts are
now nearly all paid up. There is
difficulty about getting at some people
to make them collect their money.
Some of the special deposit to be hand
ed over to the Treasurer may be in the
vaults for years before it is called for.
There have been cases where deposits
have remained for twenty-five and thirty
years in banks, and then been called
for. Deposit books get lost, mislaid or
forgotten, and then suddenly come to
light and the demand is made. Again
sometimes a depositor dies leaving no
heirs and the deposit lies year after
year waiting for one who will never
come. There is some romance even
over bank deposits.

There is a great demand in Germany
for the so-called italian blood orange"
The popular idea in the United States
is that this fruit is cOlOred, not by
nature, but by injections of some arti-
fetal vegetable dye. To discover the
truth or falacy of this belief, several
Well-knoWn German chemists have
been experimenting, first, to find out
from the blood orange itself if its color
is due to artificial means, and, secondly
to change the common Italian orange
into a blood orange by injections of
different kinds of cOloring matter The
experiments, however have not been
attended with success. 1t was found
that no single injection OF any solution
would color more than one part of the
orange and that if several injections
were made, the fruit was likely to de-
compose very quickly. The theory was
then advanced that the coloring was
produced by watering the roots of the
trees with a blood-red vegetable solu-
ton. 1t is needless to say this expert
ment was as barren of results as the
first. The blood orange is a real pro-
duct of the soil.

Anything touching Arizona is of in terest to progress and prosperity. The Denver News speaks of the Durango road as follows:
 "The railroad survey from Durango has been practically completed. Clis- ton is town near the line of Arizona, in Graham county. and lies little west of south from Durango. The sur vey crosses the northwest corner of New Mexico. Moses Liverman, who is in the southw west collecting statistics as to the traffic on which the proposei road can depend, assures the El Paso Herald that DO railroad in the south west touches finer country than this one, and that none will have brighter prospects for business. The country is fairly level along the whole line. First, says Mr. Liverman, there is the coal at the northern cad, referring to the enormous veins about Durango. h the southern part of Arizona, he con- times, is one of the finest timber belts in the country, and when we get fnrth- CT into the territory we reach the gra- zing and farming lands. AtClifton We are connected with the richest copper belt in the world, and connect the re with roads running to score of the richest mines and largest smelters in the country. We also get direct coIi- nection with Fl Paso, the largest city in this section, and with tue great un- developed country in northern Mexico The real purpose of the movement fol the construction of this road is prooa- bly, explained in single sentence ia Mir. Liverman's $ interview. The road he says, will open up great country on the line of the two territories art connect the richest coal field in tl, west with the richest copper country oi the globe For the reduction of Arizo na copper ores the coal about Durang' is needed and the result is the con struction of this road, which will hay far reaching effect on the growth ( southwestern Colorado and the futurl of Durango as commercial city"

PlMAS VS. APACHES. Why the Latter are Cared for and the
 Former Neglected.
[From the Nntire American.l l

luo NotlNt Aintflcdu-I
 A Pima Indian once complained to an Apache and the burden of his plaint was that his tribe worked hard against drouth, against hard conditions, against the white mans aggressions and theft of water, and did not receive any aid from the government; while the Apaches did not work, only as they chose, did not contend with dronth, fought the whites, stole and devastated and laid waste when they felt like it, aud were given rations. annuities, and all manner of good things by the government.
 The Apache was irritatingly com plaisant. He smoked government tobacco for some time calmly, and coolly philosophical as follows:
 White man, he head big coward He all same big dog. Big dog he bark like h-l little while. Bynby little dog he show him teeth n look mad big dog he drop his tail an run all same coyote. 'Pache Injun he all same little dog. Me fight little, kill little, make big noise, white government he heap afraid. He tremble all same leaves. He say 'Pache Injun he bad man; he heap fight; heap kick all time. Me think so betta feedum little flour, sugar, coffee. beans. 'Pache Injun he catchum plenty. White man he no savvy much. He big fool all time. 'Pache he heap smart like h-l."
 And the Pima brooded over the lesson and knew that it was true. It had always been his boast that his peo- pie knew not the color of the white mans blood. They had befriended the whites when their numbers were few. They had given of their sub stance freely. They were prodigal ot their hospitality. In their welcome there was no poverty of sincerity and gladness. And as the white popula tion grew they sought not recompense What they had given of food, of wei come, of hospitality, of protection anC of succor had been freely given.
 And it is this good people whom ", are robbing of their heritage of water Outlaws and renegades that we are we enter mans house and sit at hi table and accept of his gifts, and rol him of his plate, and all the food tha remains we stuff into our pockets leaving starvation and desoIation be hind.
 Give the Pimas their reservoir, S the storm waters may be stored ant utilized, and make the wrens of hap piness sing in the hearts that are no' bleeding o'er dastardly and damnahl deeds.

de Madrid, Spain, requesting money for transportation and incidental expenses for young lady l5 years of age, the alleged daughter of the writer. The girls mother, who recently died. Eduardo claims, was Miss Mary Jor- dan, cousin of Mir. Jordan.
 The scheme unfolded by the enter prising Spaniard is an old one, and is laid along the same lines as that ex- posed by eastern papers some months since. His modest statement of the sad circumstances runs about like this:
 During one of the late riots in Spain he joined an armed force in rebellion against the government, consequently on the wrong side of the affray. fonnd it necessary to move one iuhabitant out of the city of Madrid ,his trail light ed only by the pale and glimmering moon. Bat to even matters up with the government he took along with him gS6 900 in English money, equivalent to $l80,000, which he had concealed in the false bottom of his portmanteau, which, in turn, was concealed where no human being would ever find it but himself. Now the writer himself is on the inside of a Spanish prison with an eighte en years sentence to take up the greater portion of his spare time. Being thus hainpered at the present, he is unable to get action on the coin, but has gained the confidence of the prison chaplain through whom the letter was sent, and to whom he requests that MT. Jordan's answer, enclosing the desired remittance, shall be addressed.
 The singular feature of this affair is that MT. Jordan has a relative by the name of Mary Jordan, but knows where she now resides aud that she is still alive. He declines Don Eduardo. request.
 The News would suggest confden- tialiy, to this rustling son of Spain, that he confne his operations to Europe, al the Yankees claim the inherent righr to work this side.

 able to appreciate the importance of this question. Since beconing Presi- dent, as well as before, he has point edly expressed himself in favor of the national irrigation of the public lands of the arid West.
 A dis patch from Washington states that Senator Hansbroagh of North Dakota, who is prominent advocate of national irrigation, recently called upon the President, and after the in- terview expressed the belief that the President favors the required Congress sional appropriation for the reclama- tion of the arid lands. He added:
 Congress is going to be liberal with the West in dealing with irrigation questions, aud l believe that President Roosevelt will also ne most liberaiiy disposed Ibelieve that the government should give the proceeds of the sale of public lands to irrigation purposes. This would amount to about $2,000,000 each year, and it conld be expended under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior in making surveys and iu the construction of reservoirs and ca nals. After the government has done its part the private land owners will do great deal. They stand ready to spend millions also"
 As the Times has previously observed, the application of the proceeds of the sales of arid lands to the building of reservoirs would be all right, as far as it goes, but of itself It would be far from sufficient to produce any adequate results, commensurate with the vast importance of the problem. Such money would probably be divided among the States, in proportion to the amount received from eaeh, and this would not go far in the building of res ervoirs.
 There is every reason to hope that the coming Congress will deal literally with the arid West in the matter of an appropriation for irrigation purposes. The campaign of education on this sub ject that has been carried on during the past couple of years has been pro ductive of good res ults,

 A few nights ago very bashful young man called to spend the evening with his girl. As storm was coming mp the girls father asked him to re- main over night. Next morning when he was invited to take seat at tn e table, he very reluctantly accepted. He sat opposite mirror and discover ed he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he dropped his fork on the floor, and us he stopped to pick it up he up set his coffee. Matters went from bad to worse, until finally the young rlan quit eating and put his hands under the table. The loose end of the table cloth was lying in his lap, and when he touched it he turned pale He thought it was his shirt and that in his nervous excitement while dressing he had forgotten to put the garment inside his trousers. That accounted for his embarrassment. There was no time to lose. He hurr.edly stuffed the supposed shirt inside his trousers. Two minutes later when they arose from the table there was crash. The dishes lay in broken mass on the floor. The young man pulled three feet of table cloth out of his pants and fled through the door. He is now in hiding and the girl is on the lookout for less bAshful lover.

A ra,uIeos Fee.

A small stingless bee is found in the state of Sinaloa and in Topic. The honey of these bees is not great in quantity, is dark colored, very liquid and is said not to crystalline. Another peculiarity of the honey is that it has decidedly sour or tart taste, and on this account it is much sought after as being a greater delicacy than the sweet honey of the tame bee. The reason these bees are small producers is that, as they are stingless, they are con stantly robbed by the larger varieties, the tame bee being one of the robbers

CRIMES IN THE ARMY.
They Are Found to Be Fewer Dur ing Active Military 0p-
 eratl0aA.

The tabulation of the cases of sui cides and homicides which occurred in the army during the years 1888 and 1899 are compared in the annual report of Surgeon General Sternberg with the cases which occurred during the ten years, 1s8s-97. Contrary to the general anticipation, it is found that there were among the troops during the past two years relatively fewer homicides than during the years of the previous decade, and that the mean annual ratio of suicides per thousand men was about 2A times greater during the decade of peaceful garrison life than during the recent period of active military service, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The average number of suicides per year in an army of 27,1l6. for the ten years, 1sss-97, was IT. The ratio per thousand was .s3 per cent. The strength of the army in 1898 is given at 147.795, the Gserage number of sui cides, ss: and the percentage per thousand, 26 The strength of the army in 1899 is given at 1os.54e, and the number of suicides at 30; ratio per thousand, .2s per cent.
 During the ten years from 1888 to 1897 the homicides are given at 5.5 per cent, and the ratio per thousand, 20 per cent; for 1898. the number of homicides at 19, and the ratio per thousand. .13 per cent; for 1899 the number of homicides at 23, and the ratio per thousand, .22 per cent.

 "The most costly metal is gold, and silver comes next. That" said chme- ist, lis what the average mau would say fyou should ask him, but he would be very far off the truth indeed. Gold is worth $tl40 pound aud silver SIS but there are score of metals worth much more.

Congressman Hull, who recently visited the Philippine islands, says "the island of Mindanao. is inhabited by the Moros, who are Mohammedans. They are stay-at-home race and have mingled very little with the other islanders, and retain all the traits of their Mohammedan ancestors. Spain never made any attempt to govern them, and thus avoided trouble. As long as we do not meddle with their affairs, there is little danger of con- fiict; but any attempt to make them conform to our methods of morality or religion will provoke war. There are not less than 300, ,O0O of the Moros, and war with them would make our trouble with the Filipinos. look like child's play"
