The Situation In the West Improved.
A prominent Republican from Call
fornia, who was in the city on yes
terday, said that he and the whole
West. so far as he was able to ascer-
tain the sentiment, felt a few weeks
ago that there was danger OF a Dem
ocratic House being elected this fall.
He said that since Colonel Roosevelt
started on his trip through the West
this feeling was rapidly changing and
that his judgment was now that
RooseVelt's trip had saved enough
Congressional Districts in the West to
make the election OF a Republican
/ House certain.
/ Concluding, he said, however, that
most of those Republicans who would
be elected as the result OF Roosevelt
! trip would be men who would stand
for progressive policies, and that be
not only expected to see all progress
sive nominees now elected, but many
who had never declared themselve:
before to be progressive, would do sc
before the campaign was over.

Answers to Queries

THE SEVEN BIBLES-Subscriber Oakland.
What are 1.-THE seven bibles of the worldf 2 Tell
something of the history Of all but the Chris
tian.
These bibles or sacred books are:
The scriptures of the Christians. the
koran of the Mohammedans, the eddas
the Buddhists, the five kings of the
Chinese. the three vedas of the Hindus
and the zend-avesta of the PerSians.
The koran, the so called revelation to
Mohammed was written about the sew
enth century of our era 1t is made up
from a number of quotations from the
old and new testament. the talmud and
the gospel of st. BarnabaS. together
with many traditions and peculiar
code of laws elaborated by Mohammed.
The eddas was first made known 10 the
scholars of European schools during
the fifteenth century. although the date
of composition has been assigned to the
eighth. The pixies are collection of
sublime morals. noble precepts and
the words of Sakyamuni, or the Qua
tama Buddha, who lived and died in the
sixth century, B. c. The five kings are
the best sayings of the best sages on
the ethico- political duties of life. These
sayings were collected and revised by
Confucius in the fifth century before
Christ. The vedas are the most ancient
books of the Hindu or Brahmin re-
ligion. The date of their origin is un-
certain but such scholars as Max Muller
Horace Wilson and w. ID. Whitney
unite in the opinion that the most an
cient part of the books are not older
than 1900 B. c.. The zend-avesta was
written probably some centuries after
the Christian era.

went around that the show was
mighty well worth while. and the
theater was filled at every perform
ance. The popular verdict was favor

my attention to defect which quite
spoiled the play for him, though no.

do anything with a column OF words

There is another play now headed
westward which has composing room

without flaw. The play is The

New York real linotype machines were
secured and electrical connections were
made. so that the machines could run
along merrily during the whole of one
act The men who operated the ma
chimes had no lines to speak. 1t was
thought at first that the usual supers
could play these speechless parts. It
was discovered. however. that an igno-
rant person might do a great deal of
damage to such delicate machinery
when in operation. Finally a request
for men was sent to the headquarters
of the typogra phical union. The result
was that at every performance of the
play real linotype operators played upon
the keyboards of the machines, a genu-
inc galley boy proved up the type and
the proofs were read by proofreaders
who had union cards TO prove their
efficiency. All the men drew wages ac-
cording to the union scale. IL is hardly
surprising that the printers were will
ing to travel around the country with

Difficult Talk
With His Wife

successful magazine fiction writer. ar
rived in town the other day on board
a government vessel which had res
cued him from a lighthouse on bleak
rock off the Washington coast For
some months Wilson has been writing
stories of the sea under an arrange
ment with three magazines. and he has
been getting his color at first hand
by living at the most desolate light
houses and life saving stations along
the northern coast.
Meanwhile Mrs Wilson was at a
summer cottage of the wilson's in Ore
gon. Recently a storm ragged for two
weeks while Wilson was at a light
house on rock so miles from the
mainland. His wife wished to consult
him about some important matters. She
went to a wireless station and asked
assistance. The wireless operator sent
a call out over the ocean and at length
was answered by a steamer equipped
with wireless headed up the coast The
captain of the steamer agreed to try to
approach the lighthouse and communi-
cate with Wilson.
When the lighthouse was sighted the
ocean was too rough for a safe ap-
proach. The steamer stood off about a
mile and set some signals conveying a
message. The lighthouse keeper read
the signals with his marine glass. Will
son formulated a reply The light
keeper set his own signals and the
ship took the message. transmitted IL
by wireless to Mrs. Wilson and a few
minutes later set more signals to carry
her answer to her husband. Having
brought the strange conversation to a
satisfactory conclusion. the steamer
captain received thanks from both the
author and his wife and proceeded on
his course.
