SALOON LICENSE REVENUE
Police Commissioner Saddler's Offieial
Attitude AssaiIed by Many
CItzep-

Citizens
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17g-(Editor
Herald); Would you permit me through
the columns OF your paper to answer
Police Commissioner Saddlers saloon
boom advertisem nt?-for in my opinion
It Is nothing more. If 1t had been a
paid article for the brewers IL could
hardly have set forth the interests OF
the saloon business better,
The gentleman starts out with a hard
hit at the drug stores, thinking to
brand some one with wrongdoing to
the advantage Of the saloon interest,
and rlrht here let me say that if the
aforesaid gentleman will bring me the
rames of a few Of the druggists that
are selling so much liquor against the
law and ordinance | will see that they
are brought to ju1tice and 1t shall not
cast the city cent.
Mr. Saddlers articles pertaining to
the Sunday saloon restaurant Is little
better but every Temperance man in
town knows that IL is a great fraud
perpetrated on the good people of Los
Angeles to crafty a few and to fill the
Golfers of some saloon keepers, who are
not satisfied to sell liquor six days In
the week, but will sell on Sunday also,
while other business houses are closed.
The fourth article of Mr., Saddler's s
says. a rev years bBo ine City hNtu
the number of saloons at 200; since then
the city has grown tremendously"
The gentleman might have added that
had they fixed 1t at a less number the
city would have grown still faster. |
cite you the fact that in the part of
the city where saloons are thickest
there is little improvement. whereas in
the vicinity where there are no saloons
houses are going up by hundreds.
God pity a city that has to be sup
ported by a revenue from such a source
as the liquor business. Do away with
the saloons in Los Angeles and we
could almost do without our police
force. Take the saloon out and you
could lessen the running expense of the
county three-fourths. Take the liquor
traffic out and the county could not
hold the people that would come in, for
verify believe that the city and county
would reach as near to perfection as
any place in tie world. We have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
the overthrow Of the liquor traffic in
Los Angeles.
In conclusion | will say, as one who
has made a, fair study Of the liquor
problem, that no city can afford to take
revenue from such a busin ess. We
cannot afford to do anything that robs
our fellow man Of lis best ability and
his or her best opportunity to be right
and to do right.

can think of the palace of Westmin-

Of rebuilding faced there was a propo-
sition to establish them ON or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the

other. But to the argument of the
duke there could then be no answer.

slaughter of the Baby Seals ON the
differing Ice Floes.
Never shall a man who has once
watched the slaughter of a fur seal
herd forget the CHASTITY sight From
the deck of the blunt nosed sealing
steamer you can count thousands upon
thousands of seal families stretched
out on the glistening ice foes, the dark
notified bodies of the adults standing
out in high relief against the blue white
ness of their floating homes, While the
snow white fur of the baby seal blends
almost imperceptibly into the back
ground. Out from the ship, hurrying
over the ice, rush nearly 200 men Of
the crew, each armed with an iron
tipped club. From near and far go up
the agonlZed cries of the terrified seals.
Hopping along over the ice, the adults
rush frantlcally for the water, doing
their best to hurry their young with
them.
In most cases their way Of escape ia
cut off by the sealers. With a blow Of
the iron bound club the skull of the
seal pup is crushed, its blood staining
the whiteness of the foe, while its
parents are allowed to get away In
safety.-Technical World Magazine.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
4 Theory to Explain the Source and
Caune of Eruptfonn

1 y
Cause of Eruptions.
In a volume on volcanoes Professor
G.. Doelter undertakes to tell why vol
canoes have eruptions. Melted rock
such as is flung from Vesuvius requires
q temperature of l 900 degrees Fahren-
heit, so that it becomes liquid only far
down in the earth, perhaps sixty or a
hundred miles. Below the outer crust
Of cooled and solidified rocks there
must be large zone of rock which still
remains solid because its temperature
is less than that of the melting point
corresponding to the pressure under
which 1t rests, and below that again
there must be rock or magma in
state of fusion. 1t Is to this magma
that Professor Doelter Jocks for the
primary source of all volcanic activity.
At the same time the depth at which
this primary reservoir<Qf magma lies
and the pressure under which it is con-
fined are so great that direct eruption
from it is inconceivable, but when, by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise, a channel is opened the
magma may rise to depth where it is
surrounded by rock at lower temper
AZURE than the melting point. In these
circumstances qualification begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
of steam, of carbonic acid and other
gases are evolved, and the course OF
every lava stream is marked by clouds
Of steam evolved from the cooling lava.
At one time-and the idea is still COM
months steam was supposed to have
been derived from sea water which
had obtained access to the molten lava
while still underground, but this ex-
PLANTATION is now generally rejected, be-
! ing impossible in some cases and mad
equate In all, and the greater part of
the steam and other emanations from
volcano are now regarded as directly
derived from an original store in the
interior of the earth. However this
may be, it is certain that the magma
| from which volcanic lava is derived is
not merely in state of igneous fusion,
| but is combined with water and gases,
which are given off as it solidifies and
by their escape frequently form minia-
| ture volcanoes on the surface of lava
streams.
If the qualification takes place I'M
derground the steam and gases are ex-
PEELED, and, If there is no free escape,
pressure may increase till it becomes
great enough to overcome the resist
ance of the everything rock and so lead
to an eruption and the formation Of a
volcano, whose character will depend
ON the nature of the reservoir from
which the eruption took place.
