THE LATEST
BASEBALL NOVELTY.

BASEBALL NOVELTY.
A Canada man has invented an ap-
paratus designed to remove all doubt
as to whether the runner or the base
man touches the plate first. To an
nounce the result to the oranks in the
grand stand this latest invention is
provided with an electric bell, which
the baseman can ring IL he reaches
the base first, and which the runner
can prevent him from ringing If he
arrives at the plate first. Each base
has four metallic plates, so arranged
that they can be connected to close
the circuit and ring the bell near the
home plate. The Easements gloves
have spring contacts in the palm,
which can only be closed by the press
ure of the ball in the hand, and his
shoes have metallic plates on the soles

THE o. $. l., FRANCHISE,

The granting Of the franchise asked
Of the City Council by the Oregon Short
Line Is pleasing news. The very large
majority OF our citizens will be glad to
hear of It, Even the minority that
feared they would be injured by 1t will
soon come to understanding Of its mer-
Its, and find that the general good far
outweighs the Individual inconvenience
that may be actually occasoned. The
amendments that were adopted to the
ordinance under consideration were
proper and timely, and the fact that Il
was passed, as amended by unanimous
vote OF the council, recommends Il TO
the public and must be gratifying to
the Short Line people, The unaniml-
ty OF the council is no less remarkable
than that of the local press. All the
Salt Lake papers, we believe, have sup
ported the measure. The improvements
II viii inaugurate, the erection OF n
handsome union depot, the expenditure
in the aggregate of about million dol
lars, and the safety to the public which
win be afforded by the yiaduct on
North Temple and the footway on
South Temple streets, all commend
themselves to the press and the people,
and hence the unity of sentiment con-
corning the projects that are now made
possible, We congratulate the city
and the railway company on the salts
factory settlement OF the franchise
question, and hope TO see work COM
menced without unnecessary delay.

STILL COMING.

The total immigration to this country
for the fiscal year ending June 30 last,
amounted to o2l, Sl5, and It appears that
the tide Is still rising without any sign
of receding, The first two days of last
week, ten ship loads arrived In New
York, with over 1000 immigrants. The
immigration for each month Of 1908
has been greater than for the cores
pondlng month Of 1902. Two million
new settlers have entered the United
States since the census was taken In
1900.
The immigration figures have been
very closely analysed, and with some
interesting results, II is found, for in
stance, that of the total number re-
corded as immigrants. Si45O7 came
from Europe, 2o.066 from Asia. $40
from the West Indies ana l,iO3 from all
other parts Of the world. Considerably
more than half the total immigration
FOR last year came from Italy and Aus
tra- Hungary, the figures for these ma
tlonalities being respectively 2SO,622
and 2Oj,Oll, while from the Russian em-
pire ana Finland came l3j.O93 more.
These three led by long distance all
other nationalitles and the increase
over the preceding year were; Italy
52,2i7 Austria Hungary, 3iO22; Russian
empire and Finland, 2S.7i6, Next In
order came Sweden with total of As,
OPS and an increase Of 1914; Germany
with a total OF 4OOS6, and an increase OF
l17S2; Ireland, with a total of S53ll
and an increase OK 5,172; England, with
total of 25.2l9 and an increase Of i2,'
5ii Norway, with a total OF 2ii6l ant
an increase Of 1871. From no Other
country came an immigration reaching
10000 OF the nearly 80, 000 from ASH
two-thirds were from Japan and ovol
1000 OF the remainder from AsIati,

FRANCE AND MOROCCO.

The political significance Of the Wis
It's kings and rulers sometimes pay to
one another. never appears to the gem
erai public at the time, but the cur
rent OF succeeding events indicates the
nature of the secret discussions and
agreements. 1t Is now claimed that
the conquest OF Morocco by France,
was agreed upon between King Ed
ward and President Loubet, when they
paid one another some compliments re-
Gently or, rather that Great Britan's
consent to the conquest was obtained
on that occasion.
II is also suggested that this con-
sent was obtained at the price OF a
detachment Of the French republic
from the Russian alliance. That, how
ever, Is not as yet In evidence. al
though 1t is no secret that France has
found her alliance with Russia entirely
one-sided, as far as benefits go.
TO Russia the rupture, should Il oo-
cur would mean the closing Of the
hllo uluHtg lldihtt lOT iNuShlun
loans but otherwise II would not
affect the Cars empire. The Rus
sian policy is TO stand alone and to
go ahead alone, toward the goal set.
Russia needs no alliances for her de-
velopment or conquests. She does
not desire any She c res not to divide
the spoils with others
France has taken hold OF northern
Africa, and established herself firmly
on Its shores. II She succeeds in ad-
ding Morocco to her African territory
she will once more stand chance to
become a power Of the first magnitude
But the conquest Of Morocco will cost
blood and money. France, however
may deem the prize worth the cost, 1t
will be some recompense for Egypt.
The campaign there will also take the
interest of the French government to
some extent, away from the Levant
and the occurrences there.

WAR AGAINST MOSQUITOES.

A contributor to the Cosmos, quoted
IA the Literary Digest, claims that the
war against the mosquito on the 18TH
mus Of Suez has been very successful.
And II 1t has succeeded there, It can
not fail in other places, For 1t would
be difficult to find locality on earth,
where the little pest Is more numerous
or more annoying, No matter what
time OF the year the traveller arrives
there, he viii find the little insect ready
for business, and at night he will be
glad to take refuge under a mosquito
net.
The Canal company we are told, has
taken up the war against the pest. 1t
has given water cisterns a thin coat OF
oil and drained marches and bitches
where the insects breed, II has also
distributed medicine to malaria pa
tents, curing the fever and thus dimln-
ishing the source of supply Of poison
for the mosquitoes to carry around.
owing to these measures, II Is claimed,
the number Of cases OF fever has dimin-
ished from month to month, and the in
sects have disappeared to such an ex.
tent that the mosquito net has not
been In demand as formerly.
II these claims hold good, they prove
what can be done by perseverance and
intelligent EFFORT. In this country, 1t
is claimed, the mosquitoes do not al
ways succumb to the oil treatment.
Perhaps the application OF the remedy
has not been thorough enough.
