TO stimulate production, offers 81 for
every cocoon spun in America, and has
taken an especial interest in the San
Diego article. 1t is said that the San
Diego worms produce even a better silk
than those of China and Japan because
Of the equability of the climate. The
worms .Hre affected by every unusually
warm or cold spell and also by feeding
on wet leaves, so every radical change
in the thermometer and too much rain
Injuries the quality of the silk produced.
Eight-inch mulberry slips planted in
March in San Diego will produce leaves
in June big enough for the worms to
feed on.
Through the efforts of the United
States Government colony of Japa-
nese silk growers is to be established
near the city OF San Diego, and this
viii give the industry a good start
there.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. July 25.-New York
loses $23, 900, 900 annually through tuber-
culosis, according TO statement made
by DIR. Darlington, Commissioner of
Health, before the summer school in
philanthropic work to-day.
Estimating the value of a single life
at $500. and taking only those lives be-
tween 16 and As years. said DR.. Oar
lington, ''the loss of life in this city
alone from tuberculosis mounts up to
the startling sum of $23, 600 annu-
ally.
THE death rate here is much lower
than in large European cities, which
shows what has been accomplished by
the spread of clinics, and of preventive
measures, of better housing conditions,
of the warfare against dark interior
rooms and unsanitary plumbing, which
has gone forward here during the last
few years.
The death rate will not go much
lower with us unless we take even
more radical steps. 1t is a question
simply of educating the people and of
general sanitary conditions"

why HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS
Suggestions bY Dr.. Hartman.-HoW
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due 10 anaemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become blOOdless for the want OF
proper nutrition
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum
mer an army OF invalids are produced as
a direct result Of weak nervous systems
This could easily be overcome by the
use Of Peruna- Peruna strikes at the
root OF the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve centers

WATERSPOUT JEOPARDIZES
LIVES OF HOLIDAY FOLKS
Whirling Mass of Liquid Shaped Like

face of CaYuga Lake.

ITHACA, n. Y, July 25.-The lives
of many persons out sailing on Cayuga
Lake were put in jeopardy yesterday
by the sudden development of an enOr-
nous waterspout. Without warning a
whirling mass of water at least $50
feet in diameter and reaching up to
the clouds started from the shore of
the lake just north of this city and
with remarkable rapidity travelled
more than a mile across the surface
of the water toward the west.
The mass was shaped like an hour
glass and was partially envelOped in
spray. The surface of the water over
which it passed was churned into a
foam. Fortunately no boats happened
to be in the path of the spout.

which it was seriously proposed that
the company disband. The members
have concluded a three weeks engage

serious deficiency which had been
created by a run of ilI-luck which
started in Boston.
The manager of the company is quot

for further financial assistance did not
succeed it would be advisable to wind
up the affairs after a three years ex-
istence as a corporate company. There

HAS LEARNED LESSON.

Los Angeles has learned about all
there is worth learning in regard to
exposition display. Two items are
prominent in this fund of knowledge:
It pays TO make a first-class exhibit
and pays to have it ready on opening
day.
The representatives of some of the
other counties have written home ad-
vising as TO the removal Of their dis
plays to Portland when this exposi-
ton closes. Unfortunately, politics
sometimes is a stronger force in the
selection of exposition representatives
than public veal and some of the men
who have gained valuable knowledge
here may have to give way to others
who never saw an exposition, but have
a drag"
The final shipment of material for
the California exhibits. with the ex-
ception Of fresh fruits. which will con-
tinue to arrive throughout the sea
son, has reached here. In it were sew
eral cases Of processed fruit to add TO
Alameda County's display in the Hor-
ticultural building, three cases of
stuffed birds, fish and animals. which
constitute the Sacramento exhibit in
the Forestry, Fish and Game building.
where Los Angeles has been the only
California county represented up to
this time: an additional silk exhibit
for San Diego County and eight cases
Of minerals and photographs for the
mining display. Among the minerals
was some fine gold ore for the Nevada
exhibit
With the San Diego silk material was
a magnified cocoon, showing the miller
into which the worm turns after spin
ming. in the act Of escaping from its
delicately constructed castle to mingie
with others Of its kind and produce
more worms TO go through the same
process and produce more cocoons. This
monster cocoon is five feet long and
more than foot and a half thick. and
the miller escaping from it is as big as
an eagle If the real cocoon were as
large as this the silk would have to be
wrested from its inhabitant by a Sher-
ifs posse.
HOPE TO DEVELOP INDUSTRY.
Silk is not produced now in CONNER
cial quantities in San Diego. but the
residents there hope to make its pro-

In many yards in the city of San Diego
siIkworms are kept as a matter of
amusement. and one woman has made
money for years by selling cocoons and
silk ornaments as souvenirs, but the in

great headway there.
Now the Government has taken an
interest in il and much is expected
