SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Aside from errors Of retracuon w. ri.
Rivers finos the eyes OF all races and
classes OF men to be practically the
same The apparent superior sight OIL
savages is attributed entirely to prac-
tice and education with familiarity with
the surroundings.
The melting of glaciers in winter mas
called for explanation. Or. r. Won Len
denfeld OF Prague believes that the
earth's interior heat cannot account 1or
more than three to six per cent CT the
effect but that the principal cause OF ths
melting is the heat from the work OF
the ice in descending. The pressure Oh
winter SHOWS would probably somewhat
increase the internal melting.
Whether matter undergoes any
change Of properties or being charged
with electric current has been subject
of experiment. The results have been
practically negative. Mr.. Paul X. heyl
states that when carrying heavy cur
rent the charaS in the tensile srenstH
OF iron cannot exceed hall Of one per
cent. and the melting ron; OF TN can
hardly be changed two degrees.

A SHOWMAN'S PHILOSOPHY.

rAs everybody knows. the great show
man wrote a book OF which. of course. he
was very proud, but the part of which he
was proudest was what he called his
philosophy printed in the appendix. II

worth remembering. Here are some OF
thcm:l
Amusement to children is like rain
to flowers.
A happy child is likely to make an
honest man.
If you would be as happy as child
please one.
Childish wonder is the first step i'll
human wisdom.
Childish laughter is the echo of
Heavenly music.
The author of harmless mirth is
public benefactor.
Innocent amusement transforms
tears into rainbows.
To best please a child is the high
est triumph OF philosophy

dren's friend than the word 5 ing.
He that makes useful knowled;e
most attractive to Che young is the
king of sages.
To stimulate wholesome curiosity
in the mird OF child is to plant
golden seed.

AMOROUS KOREAN
.PROMP YCONVICTEO
zee MARIN YONG FOUND GUILTY
Err BEING OUT TEN MINUTES.

After being out only ten minutes the
jury in Judge Lindsays court yester-
day afternoon returned a verdict of
guilt against zee Marn Yong charged
with assault with dangerous weapon
with intent to committee murder.
on March u the defendant shot a
fellow countryman named Chung Sung
Duck, three times, mistaking him for
another Korean named ChOy Tx ebay
of whom the defendant was jealous
as the outcome of an unlawful love af-
fair.
More than usual interest was given
the case from the fact that zee Marn
made a sensational statement to his
attorneys Lightfoot and Noar that AS
sistant Sheriff Henry Vida had forced
an alleged confession from him by the
administration of the water cure"
The case was taken before the super
visors for an investigation of the
charges The charges were not sus-
tanned. During the trial of the case
before Judge Lindsay there was con-
siderable effort made to do politics.
w. S. Fleming and j. w. Cathcart
conducted the prosecution. j, Light
foot noted exceptions to the verdict and
gave notice of motion for a new trial.

TO ASSIST THE
BAND GETTING HOME
FIRST STEP TAKEN by THE HA-
YESTERDAY.

The Hawaii Promotion Committee
met yesterday afternoon and took the
first definite steps towards bringing the
Hawaiian band home The committee
telephoned to George w. Smith, chair
man of the Board of Supervisors and
asked him to attend the meeting.
Mr., Smith explained to the meeting
that the Board of Supervisors had no
power to send the boys money. After
further discussion the following reso-
luton was passed;
whereas the Hawaiian band, now on
the mainland, is in needy circumstances
due to conditions beyond their control
and whereas funds to enable them to
return to their homes are not available
from the County Treasury therefore
Resolved, That the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee recommends that suf-
ficient amount be taken from the funds
contributed by the citizens of Hawaii
for the relief of needy Hawaiians in
San Francisco to enable Captain Ber-
ger and his band to return to their
homes
Resolved, That copy of this resolu-
ton be sent to the Chamber of Com
merce and the Merchants Association
with request for early action on their
part"

MIGHT HAVE
SUNK OUTSIDE
RISKED OPENING HER
WOUNDS BY LETTING GO BIG
ANCHOR IN DEEP WATER.

Along the waterfront there are nu-
merOus sea captains and others who
are telling each other just how the ac-
cident to the Sheridan's windlass yes
terday could have been avoided and
how the Buford, Sheridan and Slocum
should have made their getaway for
san Francisco, somewhat after the
manner of folks who are telling each
other how Brown could have been
elected if he had taken their advice
supposing it had ever been offered
There was no necessity of anchor
ing the Sheridan outside" said one of
the best posted on seafaring matters.
"The Butord should have gone out first
and dropped her anchor and waited
there while the tugs took out the Sheri-
dan. The Buford could have been all
ready to get the big towing line on to
the crippled Sheridan while the tugs
held her. Another thing, it was a
dangerous piece of business letting go
the big anchor in too deep water, for
the Sheridan wears a great cement
plaster on the inside which might have
been cracked up by the strain, opening
the wounds she received on the Bar
ber's Point reef"
1t is fully expected that the tug Slo-
cum and the transport Buford will get
away early tomorrow morning for san
Francisco with the Sheridan in tow.
The Buford carries 100 tons of extra
coal for the use of the Slocum should
the tug require it.
When the Sheridan dropped her an
Choir outside yesterday she let it go in
too much water and the result was
that she drifted in, famed by the
southerly breeze, until her great hook
came to the rescue and caught on the
| higher ground.

For Sick Women
To Consider

F1RsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dig
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
b. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases OF the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing baclzache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THTRD.--The great volume of unss-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
hdSS't MANY OF winch are from UltQe 10
time published by permission, give alp
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
q. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs.Plnkham's Standing Invitation
to WOmen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick womenf free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if She does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

Sheep Shrink In Transit,

Western shippers are complaining,
and evidently not without cause, oi
poor railroad service, says the Shep.
herds Bulletin. The amendment of the
2S-hour law was looking forward to as
the panacea for all transportation ills.
But the good effects of this amendment
can very easily be nullfed. An Idaho
shipper recently stated at Chicago that
he got poorer transportation service this
season than for many years past.
Another expressed the opinion that
the money lost through shrinkage of
sheep and lambs coming from the west
would build a railroad and equip it for
efficient service. When trains drag
along like wounded snake, it takes 30
much time to cover any reasonable dis.
tince that the sheep have to be unload.
ed twice as often as is necessary and in
many places where there is no accom-.
moda.ion for them.
Without proper facilities for feeding
and watering at unloading points, it is
easy to understand that many members
of a big band will succumb, while TIE
loss from shrinkage will, in ITSELF be
equivalent to the loss of many sheep.

FOR BEGINNING IN IRRIGATION
Department 81 Agriculture Issues
Report Of Practical In.
formation,

For tho guidance OF tho great numb"'
Of people from humid REGIONS who sst.
tle on tho immense areas Of western
lands opened to settlement. the depart.
ment of agriculture has issued . report
on "Prsctical information for beginnera
in irrigation"
There are seyersl million acres open
for settlement in the United States, and
irrigation works built by private enter.
prise and works being constructed by
the nstionsl government will provide
water supply for more than q million
acres of arid lands.
The report says these are certain to
cause an influx of settlers into Western
America during the next few years.
The report discusses arid soils and
water supplies generally and describes
how to locate and build farm bitches,
prepare land to receive water, irrigate
staple crops and how much water to
apply.
Experience throughout the arid
REGION" the report says. "is demon.
strating that the greatest danger to
irrigated lands is lack of drainage.
Water applied to crops raises the
ground water, which brings with it the
salts dissolved from the soil; capillarity
brings this water to the surface, where
it eyaporates, and the salts accumulate
until all vegetation is destroyed. The
only insurance against this is proper
drainage, but anything-as economy in
the use of the water and thorough
cultivation-which will check the rise
Of ground water or lessen evaporation,
will decrease the danger"

Helping the state.

Some time ago, in speaking of the
tide of immigration that was steadily
flowing toward the coast, The Journal
asked: "What are the towns of Oregon
doing to attract the homeseekers ?"
The question was a pertinent one, in
view Of the fact that the people OF Cali
fornia were spreading the news Of their
advantages, and that. despite handi-
caps, the population was steadily grow.
ing by iudiclous advertising. In Sep
tember over IA, 900 settlers pitched their
tents in California. and set up their
penates and lares in the smaller villages
and towns.
Oregon did not get that number.
although her fields are just as fertile,
her orchards more productive, her re-
sources as varied, her land cheaper, and
the advantages she offers to farmer
rancher, orchardist and business man
more numerous and more remunerative
than those of her sister state. Probably
we are not adve, e,tising as we'll as is Cali
fornia; our light, which should be SHIN
ing abroad, may be hid Under bushel
the publicity that has been given our
rich country may not have
been the right sort; there NAV have
been a lack of method in our advertis.

Six Feet of snow.

Denver, Oct. 22.-One of the worst
storms that ever swept the eastern slope
of the Rockies ranged for over "a hours
and devastated the country from north
ern Wyoming to the borders of New
Mexico. The fierce wind was accom-
panied by snow, which fell on the
plains to q depth OF two feet. In the
foothills and mountains there are FIVE or
six feet of snow.
In northern Colorado the storm was
felt severely and crop and stock losses
will be very great. Should it freeze in
the near future the loss will be tre-
mendous.
On all the roads running into this
city trains have been delayed for many
hours and wires are down in all direc-
tions.

The new fruit is half sweet, one
side being a brilliant russet and
the other yellow. He explained
how the result was produced.

Fuel Famine In Spokane.

Spokane, WASH, Oct. 21.-Witt
chilling frosts prevailing and the Winter
coming on, Spokane faces fuel famine
Coal is not to be had. Inquiry of all
the fuel companies discloses empty
bins and no prospect of shipments
Toe supply from Roslyn has stopped
and the Wyoming mines are sending
none at present.
Wood dealers stated today that they
have on hand enough to supply the
clty's fires for only one day. More is
coming by railroad, but a prolongation
OF the cold snap would mean cleaning
out of every yard. Wood retails for 81
a cord and the price is advancing.
Pullman and all points in the Palouse
country are threatened with a fuel
famine. In fact. the famine is now
being felt in many places. There is no
coal or wood to be had in many towns,
and prices are steadily advancing.
Wood cannot be secured here, and the
last sold at $3.50 delivered. Not a car
load OF coal has been received for
several weeks, and there seems to be
little prospect of the shortage being re.
leved in the near future.
The price of coal has not advanced,
but it is impossible to get it at any
price. Dealers say they have had
orders in for three months, and have no
informution when they will be filed.
The situation is growing serious, and
should a cold wave strike the country
soon, there will be suffering for want of
fuel.
