WEALTH FROM THE PACIFIC.
Valuable Products from Sea Water on
 Our Western Coast.

Californians have solved the prob- lem or the alchemists and are making gold out of sea water The golden state has taken golden treasure out Of her mountains, has made her val leys yield millions of dollars worth of golden fruit, has amassed tourist gold Ill exchange for her sunshine, and now turns to the great lazy Pacific ocean and ransacks its coffers
 There is no rush of prospectors to the new field, however, as the gold is coming out of the sea in the form of salts of potassium, magnesium and bromide, which would elude the pan and the rocker of the prospector.
 Of several "diggings' of this nature one at least is active and prosperous and one is approaching activity. The San Pedro Salt company. which re- gently entered into the field, has sue ceeded in manufacturing a quantity and quality of salt which has found A ready market and has already assumed place among the exports of the port of San Pedro.
 The fact that San Pedro is a lively and thriving port, with almost no out. going cargoes, makes the development of this trade both easy and important. Since the first of last year the coast ing schooners returning to the north ern coast have taken away over a thousand tons of this sea salt

Branded as a Deserter,

An army pension has just been granted to J. Tomlin, of Nottingham, England, who Is now S1, and his medals, granted for Sevastopol, have been replaced.
 It seems that he was invalided home from the Crimea and granted a months furlough. While enjoying his rest he was stricken with typhoid fever, but, being unable to read or write, did not acQuaint the officers of his regiment with his misfortune or ask friend to do so. The conse- quence was that when his furlough expired he was posted as a deserter, and while on his way to rejoin was arrested.
 At Aldershot he was tried by court. martial and sentenced to be branded with the letter "D.'

BLACK BEAR AND HER CUBS.
Her Physic and Her Food After Her
 Five Months' Sleep.

The black bear has her cubs, from one to three, in her den during the months of March and April and 1t is an interesting thing to know that she has the power to give birth to her young at least two weeks before the proper time if driven from her den. She will return to her cubs if let alone, says a writer in Forest and Stream
 In the den she cares for her young until the snows of the north country have sufficiently melted to permit of her getting about, when she hits the trair' again. She eats nothing dur. ing the five months that she hiber- mates, except that from time to time she will lap the icicle which Is made by the freezing of her breath on her paws.
 She ventures forth as soon as the snow has sufficiently melted to per init of her getting about and for sev- eral days will eat nothing but hem lock bark and certain roots, which act as physic.
 When in her normal state of health again she is ravenously hungry and will diligently fish the brooks and

Rats as Judges of Ivory.

The ivory dealer pointed to a half dozen rats gnawing among the yellow heaps of tusks and ivory fragments in the garret.
 They are quite tame, you see," he said. Why shouldn't they be so? The fact is, they are on my payroll. They work for me Their wages are a pound of cheese and loaf of bread a week
 Ivory dealers like rats, for rats are ivorys best judges, and without their help we should often want a higher price for bad tusk than for a fine one"
 He took fragment of ivory from the floor and pointed to certain small furrowS in it's surface.
 The rats did that" he said. Those furrows are a proof of the ivory's ex- cellence. Rats gnaw the ivory that contains animal glue, or gelatine, a substance of which they are fond. And this substance it is that makes ivory excellent, yet a mere man can't tell whether tusk contains it or not
 The rats can tell. They are ivory experts, and they work so cheap"

Women Refining Rome.

American and English women mar ried to great Roman nobles have done much toward refining life in the Eter- nal city. They discouraged the rough horseplay and the practical joking, so common under the old regime even in the best houses. They have in. trodueed such amenities of life as open fireplaces, bathrooms and i'm proved sanitation, and, in short, they exercised the same softening and hu- manizing effect upon the Roman no- bility of the last half of the nine teenth century which the Greeks had upon the ancient Roman pstricians.

 The locals began the hit pro- ducing in the opening round, when three mixed with a walk and a sacrifice, turned up three runs-enough to win the game. Buchanan was touched up more freely in the next, four hits, one of them Becker home run, with another pass and sacrifice, get ting for Atlanta as many runs as there were hits. The Colt s slabman then took brace and in the two remaining innings he blanked his opponents.

BAN on OPIUM USE
CHINA IN RAMARkA7LE DECREE
coMMANDs REFORM.
Newly Awakenkd Empire Rises to
Throw OF |PernicIous Habit
Forced3d Oh It by Chris
tianl Traders.

China has begun an awful struggle.
She has decreed that the monster
opium which has had its fangs in the
throat of the nation for more than a
hundred years sucking its MANHOOD
and vitality shall BE. destroyed. And
one can realize faintly wnat the strug-
Gle will mean when it is understood
| that a conservative estimate places
the number of Victims OF the opium
habit in China at 10o,0OO,00O persons
or one-fourth more than the popula-
tion of the United States. And an
other thing which will make the eff
fort at reform more difficult is that
this insidions Chinese vice is not sec
tional or OF class, but touches every
part OF the country and every grade
of society. ~ =
The decree OF the Chinese imperial
government may best be appreciated
by showing its effect if applied to
similar habits in this country. Let
us suppose that from 20 to 80 per
cent of the American people smoke
tobacco and drink liquors. Let the
federal government decree that no
more liquor shall be distilled or tobac-
co grown, and that all importations
of the commodities must cease; that
men who smoke and drink are ineligi-
Bile for public Office; that every one
who uses tobacco and liquor must
abandon them. that every tobacco
store, bar, and saloon must close.
The condition that would prevail here
suggests the mighty reform that
China has undertaken. The penalty
for disregarding the edict is disgrace
and political death.
Under the terms of the decree no
new ground is to be used for growing
poppies, and the area of ground now
under cultivation must be diminished
by one-tenth each year, so that at the
end of ten years the cultivation of the
plant in China and the production Of
opium, save for purely medicinal pur-
poses, will cease. Every user of the
drug must register with the police and
state the amount Of opium he uses.
No person can buy opium unless he is
thus registered and no additional per-
sons will be permitted to register
Isahereafter.
The regulations for the cure of
those addicted tosthe vice apply to
several classes. All under go years
of age must reduce the amount of
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-02-02

opium consumed 20 per cent yearly,
so that their use of it shall cease in
five years. They must also pay IL
ceEse fees for the privilege of using
opium. II they have not broken them
selves Of the habit in ten years they
will be publicly sdisgraced. Govern
ment officials under 60 years of age
must give up the use of the drug in
six months, and the soldiers, sailors.
teachers and scholars in three
months. Anti-opiim literature will be
distributed, the formation of anti,
opium societies is being encouraged,
and medicines will be prepared for
those who seek to break themselves
of the habit
All places for smoking the drug
must be closed within six months.
Smoking is prohibited in places of
public resort The sale of pipes.
lamps and other appliances must
cease within year All shops in
which opium is sold must be regis.
tered. no new ones can be opened
and those in existence must show de.
creased sales each year, or they will
be closed and their contents confis-
Gated All the shops must cease to
exist in ten years.
A large part of the credit for this
great reform is given to Wang-Ta.
seth, the Chinese ambassador to Great
Britain, a reformer who recently for
mulated constitution for China. His
plans for the abolition of the opium
vice were put into shape by Tang
Shao-yi in Peking, and finally, through
the Influence Of Viceroy Yuan Shih-
kai. we're adopted by the council OF
