circulation, which he must endeavor to comprehend
a whole, in order to adapt his seamanship to his
required of captains of vessels is embraced chiefly
in what is styled among sailors the Law of Storms,
a name introduced about fifty years ago, when
atmospheric circulation in storm began to be
understood. Before the Law of Storms
enunciated, many ships proceeded recklessly to
destruction. Not only single ships lost, but
whole fleets, through faulty management.
Now, the elementary facts of storm phenomena
from which the Law of Storms is derived these:
First, that storms in wel-detined areas of
low atmospheric or barometric pressure If one
Daily Weather Maps he will find that there is
constant succession of High and Low" areas
of atmospheric pressure moving over the United
States. He will find that those Lows advance in
easterly direction from day to day, until finally
the most of them disappear from the map they
having passed into the Atlantic Ocean.
Secondly, while the storm a whole has an
onward motion, roughly speaking, in a straight line,
the wind in that area has rotary motion around
central calm space. So that this storm may be
hkened to spinning top which rotates about its
axis while travelling onward over plain surface
These being the elementary characteristics of
the the law of main dependence for the sailor
is this: In the northern hemisphere, the air in the

southern hemisphere, the air IN the Low rotates

OF the storms at sea off our coast, by far the
greater number come the United States in
general easterly direction, and the centers COM
monty cross the Atlantic Ocean to the northward
OF the steamship routes. The others come from the
West Indies, from region to the eastward of Bar
bados, in about latitude ten degrees north. They
first take northwestery direction, and then curve
to the northward and follow up the coast of the
United States in the general direction of the Gulf
Stream, curving still more to the eastward when
they reach about the latitude of Hatteras, and
finally, in the region of the banks of Newfoundland
they have gained the track of the more common
transcontinental storms. Then, on their eastward
course they are likely to continue the track of
the transcontinental storms. So, in the region of
Hatteras and for a considerable distance to the
northward and southwark, it is important for the
master or captain of a vessel to know whether the
Low area in which he is involved is coming up
from the West Indies the continent, in
order that he may decide the general direction of
the path of the storm and consequently the semi
circle in which he is placed.

DAM BUILT BY
EARTHQUAKE
BREAKS
A Great Flood Sweeps
Down Cspay Valley,
in California.

WOODLAND, May THE great
Cache creek dam has broken. and a
tremendous, tawny flood is swirling
through the Capay valley, causing
much destruction, sweeping great build
ings from their foundations, uprooting
orchards and leaving a muddy swath
of debris to tell the story of one OF the
most tremendous disturbances ever
known in California. But the damage
has been done; the fearful nervous
strain and suspense are believed TO be
over, and the valley Will sleep tonight
in comparative peace, even if in sorrow
for financial losses.
The expected break came this morn
ing. The great dam. formed when the
earthquake broke away the mountain
and threw it into Cache creek, was 107
feet high, 1000 feet wide at its base
and 200 feet wide at its top. Behind
this barrier had been stored nearly or
quite 500, 100000 cubic feet of water,
and the warned people of Rumsey,
Quinda and Capav had taken to the
hills and highlands to avoid the tre
food that was certain to ensue
when the pressure of water broke that

No man could tell just how high the

| One thousand dollars for a license
and the elimination of Asiatics from

demand of the Retail Liquor Mems
Association upon the legislat ture in an
effort to amend the present liquor law.
This was the policy in favor at meet
ing of the Association at Waverley
Hall at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Authority was given at the meeting
to the chairman TO appoint a commit
tee of three to consist of himself and
two others. to go over the old law and
amend it suitably to agree with the
sentiment prevailing among the retail
ers and prepare a draft of the same
so that before the next election, nomi-
nees for the legislature will know what
may be expected of them by the liquor
interest.
Col. Mccarthy presided at the meet
ing which was we'll attended. The
chairman introduced the subject as fol-

 There was step upon the path, and soft skirts brushed the shrubbery. but. intent upon the fax which her delft fingers guided from distaff to flyer, the spinner heard nothing until a voice at her side called: Good afternoon.

 With fury which jealousy, alone, could have kindled in him to so white . heat, Winslow turned to the crowd. and called in loud voice: One mo. ment-let me have your attention, friends"
 Most of the party had dismounted, and now stood in groups idly amused, and only slightly interested in the proceedings. The girl they had come in search of, was safe-they were ready to go home-why this delay? Nevertheless, they all paid strict at' tention to Winslow, who turned to them with blazing, eloquent eyes.
 Friends, in behalf of this young lady, and of my own honor-which is almost as dear-I want to tell you how found her. and why I presumed to start on the search. Don't you remember that I said might go, but if so, it would be alone?"
 There were murmurs of assent and the 'burly Tobias Judson, who had urged Winslow to start with them from the tavern, came good-naturedly forward. "Thet you did, Pardner, and ef we hadn't ben so d-d smart, we'd a-known ye was goin'."
 Just SO, sir, thank you. re- ceived hint which was left me by my servant, with one whom I am not at liberty to mention.

One with whom she had been safe, one of whom you have all heard. Ask Dan- iel Boone to tell Miss Creighton's story. Ask him whether or not the school master is gentleman"
 The name of Boone acted like magic, and the popular tide was at once turned in the speakers favor. It was known that the pioneer was even then on a sojourn in his beloved wilderness. What more natural than that things had happened as the schoolmaster had said Besides, it was matter easily proven, and of this--constituting him. self Winslows champion, Tobias re- minded the crowd. We all know Dan Boone, and we all know Charlie Wins low. 'Tain't much of risk to trust a woman with either of 'em; eh, boys?'
 There were cries of Its all right" Come on;" three cheers for the schoolmaster"
 There were cheers for Lavender, too, while she gave her hand to some of the least bashful, word of thanks to all, and, smiling, stood, alone in the cen ter of the road waving adieux until the party were out of sight.

 Boone bent over the pallet until his white hair swept the raven locks of him who lay there. You came to save me-" he whispered. "and yet you lie here. God forgive mel"
 A tear dropped upon the dying mans cheek, warming 1t, and sending through his frame a renewed thrill. "I want to live-to live-for her." he gasped. ''Tell them to take me back 1 must not die away from her."
 He choked for a moment, then: "Send the holy man, the priest"
 Boone beckoned to Rev. Luke, who came to the side of the litter.
 Gonzaga murmured: q want to 20 back; can't die here, there are too many trees" and he moved his head uneasily from side to side. My soul could not find the way out" Then, stretching out his hand, feebly: Take me back to her. I can't die here, alone"
 The preacher could find no words for this man whose ebbing life held but one wish, and who wanted nothing beyond.
 We will take you soon, my poor friend, but wait-you are too weak, rest here"
 Gonzaga retorted. huskily, weakly, but with a touch of his old defiance: 'Rest?' Yes, rest forever with no word nor look to carry to my grave! I must have both, tell you. both word and look-from her." His voice rose to a shrill wall at the last words.
 In vain the preacher tried to calm him, arguing that they would go when he was stronger, when he could more safely travel.
 The sick man would not listen. Its your fault that I am here; you would not let me kill him" land he glanced about as if looking for some one). You led me into this tonight, in- stead. Now make amends to me; bring me back-take me home-to her."
 Winslow. from his stand in shadow, heard the last words. But he checked the impulse ito 90 .nearers to look down i in strength upon that weakness would be unmanly. Whatever his motives, it would only seem mockery to the prostrate rival.
 But aside to the others he urged im- mediate return. No less. he said, to gratify the whim of dying man, than because there was danger in de- lay. The Indians might. at any mo- ment, spring upon them reenforced.
 Boone and Rev Ballinger concurred in this, but it was not easy to con- vince the rest.

But the Scriptural elo- quence of the preacher. added to Wins lows personal popularity and the strong influence of Boone. prevailed, and with the first hint of daylight the party set forth.
