SePpnkh.

A vast amount Of misconception
prevails in Eurape concerning what is
vulgarly termed harakiri. This word
is never used by any other than Hit
crate persons in Japan. Among the ed
ucated classes the term employed is
seppuku. II is wrong TO suppose that
japanese soldiers and sailors are prone
to throw away their lives
vainly. Seppuku. in ancient
times. was an honorable death.
but it is only resOrted TO in
extreme circumstances. As the jap
anese proverb puts it. sci wa katashi,
Shi wa yasushf''-"Life is difficult.
death is easy" For any person to
commit suicide merely as a way out
of a difficulty was esteemed, and is
still. a cOwardly act. To take ones
own life is easy enough as a means Of
procuring relief from trouble. but to
live on. despite difficulties. being a
harder matter, is the more creditable.
and this is the meaning 10 be attached
to the prOverb. which has quite as
much force to-day among japanese as
it ever had.
The cause of so many soldiers and
sailOrs-take the case of the Kin Shilu
Maru as an example-preferring death
to capture was something, widely dif-
ferent from that which has been as

Where Science Fails.

The new science of criminal anthro-
pology has done much to disclose the
cause of criminal disposition in men.
but it has no suggestions to make as
to the prevention or punishment OF
crime. 1t can only classify the facts it
observes. Suggestions from expert
criminologists are of no more value
than suggestions from any other kind
of men. The criminologist can tell us
(and small comfort it is so to be tOld)
that the professional thief is born and
not made, and that thief he will re-
main by nature his whole life long
The criminOlogist can tell us that il is
impossible to reform the criminals
character without reforming his brain
The counterfeiter who has spent forty
years in prison and is returned thither
at the age of 73 does not argue much
hope for the reform OF criminals. But
what is to be done with him? How is
ii possible to prevent a typical primi-
tive. reversive man such as the late
Czolgosz, from using political methods
which were quite common and natural
with the savage ancestor of whom he
was type born out of time? Czolgosz
did not slay because he was an anar-
chist. He slew because he was prim-
tive man. He was not an habitual
criminal, and it was possible that he
might never have acquitted himself in
an extraordinary manner had not his
environment, Joined with his reversive
brain, set up the association of ideas
and the consequent chain of circum-
stances that eliminated in his amaz-
ing deed. The normal man is stupe-
fed by the conduct of Czolgosz and his
kind; nor can the normal man under
stand the conscieneeless burglar or
highwayman who slays to rob. II
these things are to be remedied, it is
not anthropology that can tell us how.

Ghten tn Wheat.

Merced. July Is. 1904.
Editor Of The Call-Dear Sir: In
your editorial of the 18th you mention
ed the fact that the milIers of the
State are not pleased with the wheat
grown here because of the fact it is de-
ficient in the quantity Of gluten COM
pared with that of the starch in the
California wheat. You think that the
flood Of scientific knowledge,-b based
on experience. will in the long run be of
value TO wheat growers.
While have no scientific knowledge
Of wheat growth 1 have had plenty of
experience. Twenty years ago or more,
as l remember, the millers desired
wheat containing a great deal of
starch, as white flour was the kind
they most desired. think there is no
wheat raised in the East that contains
more gluten than the variety formerly
raised extensively in this State. The
only objection to this wheat was that
it shattered very badly when ripe,
which could be prevented by using self
binding reapers, and cutting the wheat
before it was thoroughly ripe.

TALK OF THE TOWN
ANDsH9Rfe,sS OF RHE
TIMEC ~
The Original Hoodltn.

"Hoodlum." that word which has
found place in the vernacular of the
local lexicon. Is well understood to
apply to class of Objectionable young
toughs who have no respect for SEX
age or the rights OF decent people and
no sense OF what is proper or becom-
ing in the character OF him to whom
the epithet is justly applied-a hood
lum to-day, criminal tomorrow.
While the meaning of the term is
we'll understood by the people few
there be who know the derivation Of
the word and how 1t came to be forced
into our language. 1t is this:
1t was in 1872 when the Odd Eel
lows held a picnic at Redwood City.
On that occasion a gang of toughs
"butted in with the otherwise orderly
attendance. Among the gang who
went from San Francisco was one
whose name was Hood Lummix. Ma
ture would seem to have had a far
cical part in the creation of the orig
inal "hoOdlum." for Hood Lummix
was a most peculiarly formed crea-
ture. Clumsy, big-footed, with a big
mouth and protruding teeth thick
lips, big bushy head of hair of a
dirty brick color standing out like the
quilts on a porcupine, this almost NAL
formed specimen, as is usual, attract
ed the attention of a lot of young
rowdies who picked upon him as be-
ing an easy guy" for a days sport.
Go where he might, he was followed
by gang who hOoted and yelled and.
in brief, made things unpleasantly
lively during the day, but more partic-
ularly in the afternoon when the
steam beer commenced to do its work.
The amusement of the gang did not
conffne itself to the picnic grounds:
on the contrary they went outside,
broke into orchards and flower gar
dens, destroying valuable property and
finally wound up the day by shooting
a valuable horse belonging to
rancher. This last act was more than
the Sheriff of San Mateo was prepared
to stand and as a result he bagged a
couple of dozen of the chief offenders.
When the cases came up before the
Justice of the Peace in Redwood each
and every one of the accused laid the
entire blame on Hood Lummix. Poor,
simple-minded Hood got six months
in Jail and in sentencing him the JUS
tice, who was very much displeased
that he could not send the entire gang
to State prison, delivered a lecture
TO the offenders, in which he said: II
now warn you to keep out of this
county; we want no more of Hood
Lummix or his gang to visit US"
Hence the word became coined by
dropping the last syllable of the name,
making the word as now used, hood
lum."

Forest Stripping IN HGzuoii.

In the Hawaiian Islands II is now
recognized that forest preservation is
matter Of great and immediate i'm
portsnce 10 the leading economic in
terests OF the Territory. The chief
r agricultural interest Of the islands is
sugar growing. In 1908 the exported
sugar was valued at s25,3i0,6s4, or 90
per cent Of the total exports. The
supply Of water on which successful
cane cultivation depends comes to a
large extent from the forested higher
slopes OF the mountains, above the
plantations. But the situation Is COM
piiCated by the fact that cattle raising.

the principal cause of injury TO the

As q preliminary TO the formulation

OF the islands as whole, the Terri

Chrono,neters on Ice.

Each year the time chronometers of
the United States navy are subjected
to a test to determine their accuracy
and to correct any irregularities. This
operation commences In January and
usually lasts until the middle of June,
and during that time IT is no uncom-
mon sight to see 100 Of these delicate
timepieces on ice at the United States
Naval Observatory. 1t is not for any
fear that these timepieces will spoil
that they are subjected to this frigid
experience, but IT is necessary for the
purpose Of accurate adjustment that
they should all be maintained in a con-
stant temperature.
The necessity Of having the ships
clocks all absolutely alike will be real
lied by the layman when he is remind
ed that an error of four seconds in the
chronometer means an error Of a mile
in calculating the vessels location. The
temperature varies at different times Of
the test from 50 TO 80 degrees and the
losing or gaining qualities of the chro-
nometers under these conditions are ac-
curately kept. Thus, with a chart ex-
pressing in curves just what he may
expect from his chronometer under diff
ferent conditions OF climate, and, with
his Thermometer and barometer close
at hand. the sailing master may cal
culate to a nicely the correct time and
get his location to a certainty.
