CRUISING for pererIcts.

The excellent work in destroying a
dangerous derelict last week, begun
by the Tacoma and completed by the
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies Of
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present one of the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. OF the need that derelicts shan
be destroyed as speedily as possible
there can be no question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there is rea-
son for supposing that many, perhaps
most, of the mysterious disappear
ances of vessels might truly be ex-
planned on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan
dering destroyers. Carrying no lights,
making no noise, giving no signal of
any kind, often lying so low in the
water as to be scarcely perceptible,
and heavy and solid almost against
which a vessel can scarcely be guard

'FRIsco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York in VigoF
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. S. Martin in Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure of
hospitality shown to writer's and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Indianapolis.
But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four of these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its inspirations.
1t has had an ocean of its own to
stimulate its Imagination, a new coun-
try behind and about it and an ad-
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live it's own life in it's
own way and dream and live it's own
romances.
1t has had money, too. 1t has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world (and
a good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places it has viewed ha-
bitually from it's own doorstep pretty
much every kind of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has been
like no other city of our republic.

poNkEYs TURN up TOES.
Don't Know Enough to Get In Out
of the Rain.

The war department has learned
through experience that the American
donkey has not sense enough to live
in the Philippines.
Some time ago, more in the nature
of an experiment than for any other
reason, the bureau of insular affairs
sent dozen American donkeys, com
monty known as "burros," to Manila
for use among the Spanish-speaking
people. The natives did not take
kindly to the new species, however,
but rather looked at them from afar

Seven died. Such was the news re-
ceived at the bureau recently. When
the torrential rains set in the little
animals were caught out in the open,
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beast of bur
den, seven docile, dumb beasts turned
up their toes.
They ought to de-" said a war
department official who has a deep
interest in everything pertaining to
the Philippines; they ought to die

North Dakota Solves the Aduiteration
Problem.

Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, "How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
moi attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label TELL" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
10 buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no-real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
| deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave US free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

publican committee reported it
a safe loan. Yet the Commits
sioners took bids and sold the
road to the lowest bidder for
$3.50, 900 or one.tenth the debt
There was three bids made at
the sale. One for $I,027, 900
one for S1,O00.000 and one for
$550,000 Governor Fletcher
approved the third which was
thelowest bid and dome" the
state out of $4,000, 900.
The deal was so rotten, rals-
ed such a stencil that the next

gated the deal and scored the
parties responsible for it, but
went no further than to score
them.
Then take the Pacific road,
upon which the state held a

road was worth $l2. 797. 40,
