Indu.trlal outlook in Callfornia.

TIL industrial outlook in California
is very fair, although it seems just
now to be in the nature of an embar-
rassment of riches. The production
of oil there is increasing at such rate
over the needs of the state that the
question of marketing the surplus Is
imminent. Oil can not be shipped east
because of the cost Of transportation.
To the north in Oregan and Washing
ton and also British Columbia there
are coal beds that make the shipment
of oil there improbable. To the south
and east is Arizona, which already is
an oil producer, while Colorado and
Utah have fine anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal mines, and so until market
can be found in the far east across
the Pacific, CALIFORNIA; oil product
will languish unless an increased use
for it at home can be developed. But
oil is not the only undeveloped re-
sources of this wonderful state. 1t has
great deposits of low grade ores that
can be worked with cheap fuel. 1t
has iron, lead zinc and copper, gran
lite. marble, sandstone and limestone
that need only cheap fuel and cheap
transportation to become great sources
of wealth.-Indianap News.

Every Film a Blank.

A Philadelphia girl who has just re-
turned from a two years tour abroad
is having great many jokes cracked
at her expense by reason of her ex-
psriences in the field of amateur pho
Biography. She took with her a camera,
one of the tripod variety, and 1000
films. All during her travels the cam
era was her constant companion, and
in order to keep tabs on her pictures
she jotted down in note book just
what each one was. This little book
contained such subjects as Feeding
Crocodiles in the Ganges," Sunrise on
the Nile" "A Street in Jerusalem" and
others of an equally interesting nature.
Almost the first thing she did when
she reached home was to send her
thousand films to a professional pho
tographer to have them developed.
The next day she received a message
from him asking her to call and
learned that her labor of two years had
been wasted. Never once had she re-
moved the cap from the camera, and
every film was blank.-Philadelph

How many of us can name offhand

charter of Edward l, these five hamlets
in Kent and Sussex which had consti-
tuted themselves the defenders of the
sea at its narrowest point within sight
of hostile shore? Walmer castle, We
know, is the residence of the lord
warden, and Deal, with its castles and
towers, is promptly set down by nine
readers out of ten as one of the ports,
which, of course, it is not. Sandwich,
Hythe, Dover, Romney and Hastings
were the quintet which in Anglo-Saxon
times linked themselves together to re-
pei the invader. And turbulent time
they had of it, Never winter night
but those good folks must lie abed
with the thought of the trumpet's
call that might at any moment sum-
mon them on to the black face OF the
channel to hurl back the invader from
their shores. Sieges and sacking they
had in plenty, and heavy were the
payments exacted. Thus, in 1887, the
Frenchmen, driven from Sandwich, de-
scended upon Rye with thirty-five
ships and thirty-two galleys and de-
vastated the little town set upon that
hill, from which the tide has gone out
never to return. The Cirque Ports
squadron was quickly manned, the
clumsy sails caught a fair wind, and
in trice Master Frenchman was scud-
ding home with the Sussex boys close
at his heels. Into the harbor of Bou-
logne they followed the foe, set fire To
the town and polished off the job by
hanging twelve captains of the offend
ing fleet. These were not the days OF
Hague conferences and peace commit
tees, and a blow begot a blow. The
tale is not spoiled by remembering
that ten years later the Frenchmer
crept on to the coast one night and
lighting their torches on the beach
managed to burn down fifty-two house:
in Rye and ninety-four houses in Win
chelsea. Life in one of these port!

The Ontario License Departments

Fate that reduction of licenses is fol-
lowed by a diminution of inebriation.
The commitments for drunkenness for
the last five years were 1920, the prior
five years 2,703, and the still prior FIVE
years 3,111. This decrease was in spite
OF 100000 increase of population. The
plumber Of liquor licenses has been de-
creased. Five years ago 3,151 licenses
were granted, last year only 2,976. In
1874. 6,185 licenses were granted. The
decrease is startling in its reduction
q reduction of 3,20s, or 80 per cent. 1t
ls perhaps worthy of note that along
with the fact that the number of IL
censes granted has decreased, and the
number OF committals similarly gone
down, is the fact that the total fines
received have steadily decreased.
