SHARK LAID UP.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 5.-Jack
London is sick in Sydney, the Shark
has been laid up in the Solomon ISL
ands, and unless there is a material
improvement in the novelist's condi-
ton he aud Mrs. London will aban
don any further attempt to continue
the voyage around the world, and re-
turn to San Francisco about April LIST.
This is the news conveyed to friends
in Berkeley by letters from Mrs. Lon
don.
London is reported to have broken
down early in November. He under
went a serious operation in Sydney
and his physicians have declared that
his health is seriously undermined and
that a period of rest and quiet is ne
cessary. They have advised against
all plans of continuing with the Shark.
London, it is reported, would have re-
turned to California during the holt
days, but that his wife and physician
advised against it. The confinement
and wear of sailing the Shark have
told seriously on his robust frame.
The enervating climate during the
long passage in the tropics in the lit
tie boat did not agree with him, and
when he reached the Solomon Group
he was on the point of collapse. The
boat was laid up in a friendly port,
the crew paid off and steamer taken
to Page Page, where connection was
made with the liner for Australia.
Friends of London are expecting
letters by the next steamer from the
Antipodes announcing his early return
and the definite abandonment of the
Shark and the trip.
Captain Roscoe Eames, London's
father-in-law, who lives at 1888 Fulton
street, Berkeley, thinks that if ,the
course is adopted it will be for the
reason solely that London's health is
broken. ~
Il believe Jack will continue the
voyage if he can and 1 have not been
informed by my daughter or her hus-
band that they have any other plan in
view" said Captain Eames.
He has already covered one of the
most difficult stretches of the voyage
around the world. The Shark is in the
Solomon islands, which are close to
the Indian ocean. He would have easy
going to the Suez canal and thence
through the Mediterranean to Gibral-
Jtar The trip across the Atlantic would
not be difficult and he would only have
ahead Of him the task of rounding the
Horn.
London planned that it would take
him five years or more to sail the
Shark around the globe. He left Oak
land creek a year ago last April and
has consequently already spent eigh-
teen months on the first portion of
his journey, and has demonstrated
that his faith in the seaworthiness and
ability of the Shark to take him over
the ocean was not misplaced.

HE HAS SPOKEN.

Wellman has now rendered his decis- ion ana the world may turn its at fention to something else. Mir. We'll man congratulated Commander Peary the other day as the only man who had ever reached the pole Probably feM narrow people will take the view that the intrepid hero of so many ouixotic attempts to reach the top of the world is assuming a great deal and undertaking rather large task in declaring off hand that pr. Cook Is . faker. No other scientific authority. except Peary himself. has rendered such a decision as yet-and even Peary admitted that Mat Hen- sen was there. toos'
 We confess that we had been won aering and waiting with more or less anxiety over the silence of Walter Possessing knowledge of the subjee, derived from repeated failures to even try to reach the spot it was to be supposed that he would be among the first to decide between Peary and Cook. His silence led us to imagine that he might have gone off and lost himself. for he is not given to silence It seems now that the oracle has spoken and the belt has been award ed to Peary. The public might now look on the matter as settled were Il not that no observing person will be convinced by any decision of his. He has built up something of a reputa- tion as faker on the pole question and 1t is safe to say that the sup porters of Cook will lose no sleep be- cause of wellman's position.

A coop INvnNrroN.

We might have expected somsthins of the kind from Kansas. the state of cranks and cranky notions. We re- fer to the reported invention Of an automatic machine to be attached to the human jaw to tell when the food has been sufficiently masticatsd. we have not seen Suii description of 1t, but the Idea is that 1t is to be att tached to the lower jaw and when mastication has been properly effect ed bell rings and then the food may be swallowed. without overlooking the stomach or injuring the diges- ton.
 Great scheme, is 1t not? There are many people who. either from hurry or impotence, do not chew their food
 "a tough steak for exampie--long enough. They bolt their food with out regard for ceremony or for their own good. and fill themselves with food that might tax the digestive powers of an ostrich, and they need something to regulate them. It Is true that some of the latter-day spe- cialists claim that the best way to eat meat Is to swallow 1t in chunks as large as the throat will carry and not chew it at all. but that doesn't sound reasonable. or logical. It Is also true that the fowls swallow their food without chewing. but most hu- man beings are not fowls. and their stomachs are built on an entirely dif- ferent style of architecture; and be- sides. fowls take in e lot of sand and gravel to do the mastication for them. which human beings do not make a habit of doing.
 This invention, all things consider ed. seems to come in to provide some- thing of remedy for mans care- lessness or want of knowledge. Some persons will pay no attention to it, just as some win disregard the warn ings of an automobile whistle. or a street car bell. but there are others with method in them who will be glad to have some means of knowing when they may safely quit chewing and do the swallowing act. When the bell rings they will have assurance that the jaws and teeth have performed their duty and the throat and stom- ach can be depended on to do the rest Taking 1t all in alL we pronounce it a good and timely Invention.

 K year ago last July the St. Louis Republic celebrated its birthday by publishing centennial edition. Other newspapers that had passed the century mark had indulged in celebrations of the same kind. but 1t was because of the pleasant time that was had" in St. Louis that movement was started for the establishment of century club of American newspapers. This young institution. composed of ancients and honorables, has now been fully or ganized and rejoices in a membership of S2---55 daily newspapers and 27 weeklies. TWO of the latter. 1t may surprise some readers to know, are published in German--the Reading Pa. Volksfreund and Beobachter. Given the fact, however. there will be no sur prise that their home Is in Pennsyi- vania, where Germans congregated In colonial timss Pennsylvania, by the way, Is the State with the largest representation in the club, and there are IT of her sister States associated with her.

It ranks third in the club, but It's old newspaper towns are all to the south and on or near the rivers. There were settlements there before the region along the lake was opened up, and there was a heavy river trade.
 Perhaps the ohio showing should be put among the surprises, seeing that there are so many older States. The small representation of the South Is fairly well accounted for, however, by the civil war, and Ohio must bow to six veterans on the Atlantic coast which are more than 150 years old. One of these Is a Southern daily, the Charleston News and courier. and heading the list are the philadelphia North American and the saturday Franklin's Gazette. In this connection 1t Is to be noted that great cities are properlv humbIed in the Century Club. Evidently there is enduring vitality l even in very small communities.

If stranger should tell us that the Czar of Russia had recently issued an order that no Russian should keep a bottle of wine In his own home. for his own use. upon penalty of being knouted. we would all throw up our hands In horror at the despotism of Russia. Yet the people are asked to give power to the Legislature to do the like thing. only that instead of the penalty of being knouted. it is to be declared a misdemeanor, and in ad- dition the Alabamian may be put to a greater indignity than knouting, by having his home searched. at the in- stance of any worthless informer.

We have had the search warrant since the State was admitted Into the Union. The search warrant could al- ways be resorted to for the purpose of detecting crime. in the home as we'll as anywhere else. The indignation results against the second section of the amendment, because 1t proposes to create new crime, in which the search warrant will be used against the home. This new crime is that a freeman dares to choose for himself what he shall keep or drink in his own home, howsoever temperate he may be, or howsoever inoffensive to his neighbors.

The words fell with dramatic punctuality just as the hour struck. All the mans past euminated In that supreme moment and his whole future was determined by 1t. Many that day heard the same words spoken but they gave no heed But as Andrew repeated over and over again the words. Behold the Lamb oi God. which taketh away the sins of the world" Thus changed the whole current of his life.
 Every one has his opportunity. The difference is not made by much or little opportunity. but by the reeogni- ton of it.
