Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON. March 31.-Although the
water is very high around the city to-
night, the local rainfall for the last storm
was less than one inch. For the month
ending it has reached 5.SS inchesS but for
the season it is still a fraction below last
year. The rain of last night and yester-
day was freaky. One spot on Roberts
Island received LAT inches in twenty MIN
utes. Other parts of the island were
hardly touched. At one place near Lodi
three inches fell in an hour. The east
ern part of Stockton got hardly sprinkle,
while the north end was soaked. The
San JOAQUIN River, Miner, Mormon and
Stockton channels are near the danger
line tonight, but no serious breaks had
occurred adjacent to the city.
1t is believed the real danger now lies
in the backing up of the San Joaquin.
due to the high flood coming down the
Sacramento. Bouldin and Staten islands
and the other reclaimed lands in the
lower section are believed to be in actual
danger, and those who have interests
there are anxious over the developments
of the night.
The local channels had fallen consid-
erably up to this morning, when the eff
fects of the storm in the mountains be-
came apparent IN their rapid rise. AL
though within a few inches of the danger
mark tonight the streams are running
freely and are about stationary, giving
hope that much of the freshet may have
passed this vicinity by morning.

SACRAMENTO, March 31-This city
and valley have passed through a remark
able Storm. For the first time in the
history of Sacramento lightning proved
destructive, striking a barn and tearing
1t to splinters. In the last twenty-four
hours 2.43 inches of rain fell here. bring
ing the total to 1888 inches, against Is. S5
inches for last season. What promised
to be dry season has already rounded
out the full winter normal, and promises
to go down in history as wet season.
A great volume of water is coming down
the American River and the Sacramento
River has passed the 26-foot mark, but 1t
can stand two feet more of rise. The
levees at all points down the Sacramento
River are safe, although mem are guard
ing them at various threatened points.
The rainfall during the past twenty
four hours was extremely heavy, all
the towns in Northern California, with
two exceptions, receiving more than an
inch. Corning led with the phenomenal
precipitation of 4.25 inches. Redding
registered 3.04 inches and Tehama g. 43
inches The only serious damage from
the swollen river is reported from the
Macauley ranch. where the Mokefumne
River levee has broken. flooding more
than 1000 acres of winter wheat. To-
night is clear and cold and the storm is
regarded as practically over.

MANY ACnns INUNDATED.
Lands In Vicinity OF MarysviIle Are
Now Under Water.

MARYSvILLE, March 31.-The whole
country north and south of Marysville
Is under water for a distance of from
one to three miles from the Feather
River. The unprecedented heavy rains
have kept the rivers full more than a
week. The weather is now clear and
cold. Snow was falling in the noun
tains during the day. 1t was expected
that the Yuba and Feather rivers would
reach the twenty-foot mark here, but
they are falling above here. The
Marysville levees are giving no trouble
and no alarm is felt. Tile water will
damage the crops in the surrounding
country and probably injure trade.
Train service to Oroville has been in

Some faint conception of the great Destruction of eggs and young fishes. ana Of the comparatively limited num- her of them to attain full growth, may be formed from the statements of those who have made study of fish produc- tivity Thus the great English natur- Rifst. Button. made a careful investiga- ton of the number of eggs produced by a female herring and on that basis calculated the increase for twenty years. His conclusion was that the in- crease of a single pair Of herring. If ali reached maturity, would in score Of years amount to mass as large as cur earth.
 Without going extensively into the figures of those who have made a study of this subject it Is only necessary to remember that the herring is com paratisely small fish. and that some ot the larger species are almost equally prolific. Thus, ten million eggs have been found In female codfish. and it Is stated that one will produce not less than forty-five million young in d single season The eggs in a female eel were counted and the number was ascertained to be about ten millions Other common fishes. while not so pro life as these, are enough so to make us wonder just how long all the wa ters of the earth would contain the fishes if all the eggs that are spawned should reach maturity. The seas and the oceans and the rivers would soor become impossible and we suppose the end of the world. as far as man is con eexned would soon arrive.
 Fortunately for humanity. from ths moment the egg is lald it's enemies ars ready for it. The eggs are eagerly seized and deyoured and the young fishes fare no better Numerous na. taEal enemies of the finny tribe follow the mothers. or lie in wait for eggs apc yppng. so that but few reach maturi. ty, compared with the incaleulabll number that are brought into tn, world.

Separate Schools for Kansas.

Newport News Press.
 The Kansas superintendent Of public instruction has discovered that mixed schools are a source of constant trouble and irritation and in order to overcome the difficulty now experi- enoed In handlinv the children of two somewhat antaeonistic races, he has
 recommended that separate schools be provided for the colored children of the State. The movement in this di-
 rection is strong in many other States
 whose people once severely criticised the south for it's attitude on this very
 same question. We believe that the adoption of the Southern plan will in ] time be universal, certainly it will pre- | vail in mosr places where there is a large proportion of eolored residents | That 1t will prove better Tor b0tn races there can be no doubt.
 l It must confessed, however. that fi l is surprising to see Kansas, the home of John Brown and of Southern hatred | in the van of the Western States tr calling for this form. It simply naeanf that theory and practice do not al ways dovetail and that the men of the l Sunflower State realize a condition when it confronts them
