SHORTEST STREET IN LONDON

There can hardly be shorter street
in London than the one connecting Pail
Mall with the southeastern corner OF
ST. James square. from which the
name John street has just been re-
moved. 1t has only one house. which is
No. /; for, though there are two other
doors in the street. one is numbered as
belonging to Pail Mall and the other
is the side entrance of a public house.
presumably, therefore. the single house
is now to be absorbed in st. James
square, and the London directory is TO
lose yet another of the slowly dimin-

PREDICTED WEATHER
AS EARLY AS 1908
Native of Naples Published an
Interesting Almanac

The weather is so continually an OBJ
ject of interest and speculation that
it is not surprising that attention is
being drawn in France to a little book
entitled, The Perpetual Prophecies OF
Joseph Moult. Native of Naples, As
tronomer and Philosopher says the
London Globe. The work was written
in 1868. but was only printed in 174O.
after it had passed the censorship of
"Monseigneur lie Chancellor" The
worthy Moult lays it down that years
run in cycles, which has been done. by
the way. by many other weather
prophets, and he gives the weather for
every year from 1868, the forty-second

BAVARIANS CONSUME
MOST OF THEIR BEER
Only Small Part of Their Brew
Is Exported

Bavarians consume most of the beer
themselves, while the other products
Off the kingdom are largely sent to
foreign lands. In 1908. despite the
complaints of depression from the
brewers, the beer production of Ba
varia was 4SS,261.369 gallons, or only
4,179,s03 gallons less than in 1907. Only
73,2S9,50 gallons were exported. and
as an Offset to this export there were
imported 2.241,455 gallons of foreign
beer. The home consumption was
therefore 24S quarts of beer for every
man, woman and child in the kingdom
Only 12,154,356 gallons of the exports
went to foreign countries, the balance
being consumed by the various other
German states.
The United states during 1908
bought, in round figures. about 2.000.-
900 gallons of Bavarian beer. which
was invoiced, including freight to
Bremen, at about s395,000 This is
slightly less than 20 cents per gallon.
OF this amount little more than "a
third, $125,414, was invoiced at the
Nuremberg consulate, but II was most
ly brewed at Wuerzburg. Munich sent
over to America slightly more than
Nuremberg. invoice value sl6s,oi1, and
the balance came from Kulmbach, also
a Bavarian beer town, but which be-
longs to the Coburg consulate district.
The 1908 Bavarian beer statistics
indicate that the steady absorption of
the smaller breweries by the big brew
ing associations still continues Dur
ing the last two years the number of
breweries has dropped from 10,899 to
1896. OF the total number. 9,501 brew
cries make the we'll known dark Ba-
varian beer and only 964. most of which
are in the Kulmbach district make
light (pale) beer. The total malt tax
paid by the Bavarian brewers for 1908
was s9.50S,7s4. or s346,66s less than for

Fremont and Alameda Are
Next on the List

The most important football game to
be played thus far in the A. A. L. is
carded for tomorrow afternoon on the
Alameda recreation field at 2:30. The
pigskin warriors of Alameda high and
Fremont high of Fruitvale will battle
for the central subleague honors, the
winner to play the winner of the san
Francisco subleague for the A. A. l..
championship.
Both teams are in fine condition On
paper Fremont seems TO have a shade
the better of 1t. These lads have lost
but one game this season--to Oakland
high.
Alameda high was badly beaten by
Belmont two weeks ago, the score be-

scored.

BAD WAITING IN HOUSE OF LORDS

Lord Wolverhampton's complaint of
of departments of bad handwriting in
official life recalls an amusing incident
which occurred when the house of lords
was in committee on the reform bill
of 1867, says the Westminster Gazette.
The clerk of the house intimated that
an amendment had been handed in the
writing of which was SO illegible that
he was unable to say what it was about
or who had written it. 1t was then
discovered that Lord Iyttleton was the
author, and it turned out to be a pro-
posal disfranchising all persons who
could not write.

Excessive Appropriations

Turning to the editorial page Of a
recent issue Of the Ohio State Jour
nal, the Republican monitor at the
state capital, you will find a REFER
ence to appropriations OF the New
York legislature, which exceeded the
states revenues by $4,000, 900. The
explanation is that the legislature
does not like the governor very
well and wanted TO put him in q
fix that would make him appear Mig
gardly while the legislature itself
would appear generous. sNIfitt
Then the Republican editor OF the
Journal remarks. "But cutting off
100000 worth of appropriations
will mot work the way the Legislature
expected. It will make that body APP
pear at disadvantage for as a
general rule the people like to see
the veto OF an appropriation, ana II
doesn't often happen that IL makes
any difference what the appropriation
is for"
Stick a pin there and hold the Re
publican editor to 1t.
The Republican Legislature of Ohio
appropriated $1,000OO0 more than
the estimated revenueg of the state
for the same year. Does the Re-
publican editor of the Republican or
gan at the capital of Ohio contend
that Governor Harmon should have
vetoed $1,000,000 out OF the bill? II
SO that will make the case complete
There was no concealment by the
Republican majority OF the Ohio leg
islature of it's dislike for Governor
Harmon, nor Of its desire to put him
in fix. If the aforesaid Republican
editor will apply his argument in the
New York case to the Ohio parallel
he will acknowledge that had Gov
ernor Harmon cut off 100000 OF
the Republican legislatures appro-
pqtations he would have made that
body appear at disadvantage. Such
an admission will help to bring about
the election of a Democratic legisla-
ture next year, legislature that
will, like Governor Harmon better
and will not be plotting schemes
all the time to put him in a nx.
Governor Harmon did not fall into
the Republican legislatures trap. He
let the appropriations stand, except
one item of genuine graft. He did
pt even cut out the supreme court
item for elevator attendants. It
was not necessary for him to try to
make the legislature appear at dis
advantage. It's Republican majority
had already done that by its own
maneuvering. Governor Harmon
simply ldt the responsibility rest
where 1t belongs.
